Chapter 1054: The Rumbling of War Drums and the Sound of Trumpets

It was an extremely long night for all parties.

The army of the Jusang Kingdom, under the leadership of their queen, waited on the coast, waiting for the dawn to come, while Han Mo's fleet remained quietly twenty miles away, waiting for the opportunity, only sending two small boats to investigate the movements of the Japanese army in the night, and the Japanese people were obviously very confident in themselves, under the victory of the successive capture of the Seven Kingdoms of the South Seas, they fully enjoyed the wine, food, and fresh melons and fruits plundered from the Seven Kingdoms on the ship, if it were not for the order of the Shimazu Tsukihisa Army, I'm afraid that there are still many bandits who want to bring enjoyment to the women assigned by the Seven Kingdoms of Nanyang.

There were no women, but the food and wine were enough to make them sing.

Singing songs before the war was also a common activity for the Japanese people.

The coast of the country of Jusang was quiet, and the dignified queen of Jusang stood on the shore, very calmly looking at the fleet of ships under the stars that heard the rough songs, waiting for the dawn to come.

Han Mo didn't take a break for a moment, and everyone in the fleet was ready to go, as long as Han Mo made a gesture, the fleet would move forward.

The sea breeze was very light, and there was a big chair on the bow of the East Sea Eagle, and Han Mo was leaning on the chair, calm and relaxed, his eyes closed, as steady as Mount Tai.

Until the dawn appeared, there was not a trace of news from Graybeard's group, but Han Mo's face became more and more serious.

Not long after, the two small boats that were scouting ahead returned to the side of the East Sea Eagle and immediately reported: "The Japanese army has begun to advance!" ”

The corners of Han Mo's eyes moved, he opened his eyes slightly, turned his head to look at the dawn on the horizon, and looked back at the "Han" flag hanging on the flagpole, which did not blow in the direction of the wind he thought in his heart.

……

When the first rays of dawn were cast on the earth, the fleet of the Japanese army had been quiet for a long time, and a small boat of the Japanese army slowly sailed by, and the envoy of the Japanese country stood at the bow.

When he stepped on the beach on the shore, he already felt that the atmosphere was extremely wrong, and the eyes of the soldiers of Jusang Kingdom were spewing fire, as if they were about to devour him.

He came to Queen Fujiwara with courage, looked at the dozen or so giant elephant soldiers behind Queen Fujiwara, and showed a slight look of horror, but still asked in a rough voice: "Where is your King Fujiwara?" Do you accept our conditions? ”

Queen Fujiwara stared at him with extremely cold eyes, and said lightly: "You want to fight, we ...... Fight! ”

The envoy of the Japanese army was a little surprised, clenched his fists and said, "You repeat it again...... I didn't hear clearly! ”

"If you want to fight, you will fight, and my Jusang country will never give in to the bandits!" Queen Fujiwara said in a loud voice.

The soldiers of the Jusang Kingdom around them had already raised their rusty weapons in their hands and shouted in unison: "Fight, fight, fight!" ”

"Go back, dogs!"

"Kill him, kill him!"

On the long coastline, there was a roar like thunder for a while, and in the anger full of hatred, the Japanese envoys also felt a deep sense of fear, thinking that this was a flock of sheep, but the morale they showed was far from being comparable to the sheep that could be slaughtered.

The envoy glared at Queen Fujiwara viciously, and immediately several generals around Queen Fujiwara drew their broadswords, and the envoy was shocked and ran towards the sea.

As the messenger's boat quickly departed, Queen Fujiwara's expression immediately became more severe, and she cried out, "My people, the time has come to test us...... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, when the children and grandchildren talk about today, they will be proud to have such brave ancestors as us, and they will live ...... generations because we shed our blood to protect our land and family! The female middle woman suddenly pulled out a big knife from the waist of the military general next to her and raised it high: "Use your sword to protect our land and family!" ”

On the shore, the drums of war beat to the beat, and the queen's encouragement they tightened their grip on their weapons.

There was also a whining horn sound on the sea, and they could clearly see that the huge fleet of the Japanese army was slowly approaching this side, and the black and oppressive warships were covering the sea.

At the head of the Japanese fleet were not Japanese ships, but five warships from the conquered Seven Kingdoms of the South Seas.

The seven countries of the South Seas were broken one after another, and naturally there were countries that resisted desperately, but in the end, the ships were destroyed and people died, and the countries that resisted in the seven countries, the already small number of warships had already been destroyed, and the remaining five were also the only remaining warships of the seven countries, and the five warships added up to only three or four hundred people, all of whom were sailors of the occupied seven countries.

The Seven Royals were taken hostage, and these sailors could only become cannon fodder for the Japanese army, pointing their swords and guns at their neighbors.

To the sound of rumbling war drums and whining horns, five Nanyang warships were in front, followed by the mighty Japanese warships, swords and guns, bows and arrows, and went straight to the coast.

There are nearly twenty ships of Jusang Country, except for three official warships, the others are temporarily dispatched ships, and many of the sailors on board are temporarily recruited fishermen, and they can't even use bows and arrows, but at this moment, they can only meet it with a hard head.

The people of Jusang know very well that if they can consume one point of the enemy's strength at sea, the pressure on the shore will be one point less, and this group of Japanese people is extremely strong in combat, compared with the individual soldiers of Nanyang, it is like the difference between a seasoned swordsman and an ordinary farmer, and their ability is definitely a matter of easy to defeat three enemies.

Although the fleet of the Japanese bandits was much larger, Queen Fujiwara boarded the ship last night to encourage these sailors of the Kikusang Kingdom to save their mortal hearts, and they faced a powerful enemy, knowing that they would be defeated, but they still did not hesitate to face the battle.

In command of the Jusang fleet was a naval commander named Tarowan, with angry eyes and a large sword in his hand, urging the fleet forward.

Both sides moved forward quickly, and soon, Kikusang Province discovered that although the oncoming ship was flying the "ten" flag of the Shimazu family, the crew on the ship was all Nanyang.

The soldiers of Jusang Kingdom, who were ready to shoot arrows, were in a daze for a while, seeing that the fleets on both sides were getting closer and closer, and they were already within the range of shooting, but the soldiers on both sides only bent their bows and arrows, but did not shoot arrows.

Just when the two sides were a little stunned, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the rear of the Japanese army, and the Nanyang naval army, which was in a stalemate with Jusangguo, was shot and killed, and the roar of the Japanese came from behind, which was obviously a reprimand for the Nanyang naval army for not making a move.

The Nanyang Navy was all stunned, but at this time they were helpless, and Ta Luowan of Jusang Kingdom had already shouted: "Why are you aiming your swords and guns at your own people? Our common enemy is the bandits...... Turn the bow of the ship and drive the bandits out of our land together! ”

At this time, the most difficult thing was that these five Nanyang sailors who were cannon fodder for the bandits, one by one looked hesitant, looked at each other, and did not know what to do, and there was a miserable scream behind them, and the bandits shot a round of arrow rain again, urging the Nanyang sailors to attack the sailors of Jusang by force.

Finally, an arrow suddenly shot out from the Nanyang army, and with a "poof" sound, it hit the eyebrows of a soldier of the Ju Sang Kingdom on the side of the ship, and the soldier of the Ju Sang Kingdom did not snort, and the whole person fell from the side of the ship and fell into the sea.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides are like tight strings, everyone is extremely nervous, and the slightest movement of this string will break, causing people to fall into confusion.

This arrow was the spark that ignited the fuel mine, and it ignited in an instant, and the generals on both sides had no time to speak, and the archers on the ship couldn't care that everyone was Nanyang, and the arrows rained down, and the two sides screamed again and again.

Tarovan was in a hurry, but most of the soldiers under his command were fishermen who had been temporarily recruited, and they had not undergone strict training, and they could not even understand military orders.

There was a scattered sand here, and on the flagship of the center of the Japanese fleet, on the platform sat a military general in black armor, wearing a helmet on his head, and the helmet was decorated with a half-moon shape, and his face was also hidden by the helmet, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.

He sat down on a very small stool, with his legs spread apart, his hands on his knees, and in his right hand he held a fan in the shape of a plantain, but made of copper. It's his tool for calling the shots.

Seeing that the front was already in a melee, the black armor general raised his right hand, and the copper banana fan in his hand made a few movements, and the ships of the Japanese army immediately set up a formation, and the left and right wings quickly separated, forming a situation of enveloping and encircling the past.

Tarovan knew that the situation was not good, but in the melee, the fishing boats that were requisitioned had already fought separately, and there was no formation, and only the three official ships could follow his banner.

Ta Luowan was shocked and angry in his heart, but at this time, if he wanted to organize the formation again, there was no chance, the well-trained fleet of the Japanese army had already launched a crane wing array to envelop it, and the speed of the opponent's warships was much faster than that of Ju Sangguo, when the sailors of Ju Sangguo were a little clearer after the rain of arrows, they found that the ships of the Japanese army were already covered with the left and right sides, and those ships quickly approached inward, and Ta Luowan had even seen that the crew of the other ship had prepared rope hooks.

Before the war, the crew of Jusang was still full of morale and impassioned, but it was absolutely not enough to have morale in the war, and the fighting quality of both sides was immediately divided into high and low, and the fleet of Jusang was in a crisis in just a moment.

On the left flank, a Japanese boat has approached a Kikusang fishing boat, the fishing boat wants to dodge, but the speed and flexibility are not comparable to the other party, the sides of the boat are aligned, and the side of the Japanese boat is suddenly like countless long snakes, countless rope hooks flew suddenly, and landed on the side of the fishing boat, and those brave Japanese warriors have climbed the rope and come straight to this side.

"Cut the rope!" Someone shouted loudly.

There are many people to cut ropes, but their broadswords have been sparse for a long time, not sharp, and the opponent's ropes are extremely thick and firm, and they can't be cut at all for a while, not to mention the bandits' wear, some archers shoot cold arrows one after another at the Jusang soldiers who cut ropes, and the Jusang soldiers fall one after another, and then they are too frightened to step forward to cut the ropes, and the Japanese warriors climb over very quickly along the ropes, turn over to the boat, brandish the broadsword, and immediately slash and kill.
