Kuroki and Kimura looked at each other, never expecting that the old captain would allow the little emperor's army to land.
Doesn't this mean that the man-made rapids built after a hard night's battle last night are now in ruins?
The old captain surprisingly pulled out the Japanese sword from his waist and pointed to the other side proudly, "Go back and tell the little emperor that if he really has the guts to come over, I will take his head!"
When Li Yi's soldiers saw this, they didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away.
Kuroki and Kimura were left, staring at each other, and finally asked their doubts.
"Old captain, what do you mean? We managed to build a dangerous shoal last night, and now we can easily let the enemy pass? Isn't this dangerous shoal ruined?"
The old captain heard that this tone was really annoying, and smiled calmly, "I understand the doubts in your minds, and I will explain it to you."
"In the military manual of my Gale Dynasty, it was said that we should strike halfway across the border!"
"Do you know what this means?"
Kuroki and Kimura shook their heads vigorously.
The old captain continued: "The reason why I allowed the little emperor to cross the dangerous shoals easily was to wait until his army was halfway across and when his footing became unstable, then I would attack and catch him off guard!"
"Attack him halfway across?" Kuroki was surprised.
Kimura was also surprised, "Caught off guard?"
The old captain smiled confidently, "I just pretended to take a hundred steps back to seduce the little emperor to send troops ashore. When he landed with few troops and his footing was not stable, we suddenly launched an attack. What do you think they have the chance of winning?"
"In my opinion, the little emperor is extremely arrogant and will definitely lead the troops himself. If we can capture the little emperor alive, we will definitely win this battle."
After the two people heard this, they suddenly realized, and they couldn't help but admire the old captain.
"Old captain, your strategy is unparalleled, I really admire you!"
"Yes, the old captain must be the best in the world in the art of war!"
"Please rest assured, old captain, I will order my men and horses to retreat a hundred steps and let the little emperor come over."
Both of them expressed their determination and started preparations immediately.
As a result, the Japanese pirates who were originally stationed on the tidal flat began to move slowly, retreating a hundred steps away, and actually gave up a landing place.
now.
Li Yizheng was watching the movements of the Japanese pirates attentively. When he saw the Japanese pirates starting to retreat, an unexpected sneer appeared on his unruly face.
Suoyi and Cao Qingyan were all surprised when they saw this situation.
"Your Majesty, you are really amazing. You told them to retreat and they retreated. You are more obedient than your son!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am truly impressed. Could it be that you know Taoist spells?"
Li Yi smiled calmly, "If I knew the Taoist spell, I could blow all the Japanese pirates on the opposite side into a pulp, and I wouldn't have to lead an army to fight them."
Suo Yi asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, how can you predict that the Japanese pirates will really retreat?"
Li Yi smiled confidently, "This is very simple. If the people on the other side are defending only Japanese pirates, my method will not work, but the other side is the old captain of List Mountain."
"Is the old captain this person? He is arrogant and quite strategic. He thinks he is familiar with the art of war and knows how to attack us halfway across the river. They are retreating now just to lure us across the river. If our army has not gained a stable foothold, they will suddenly attack us halfway across the river." In short, it was a great defeat for our army, which is why he agreed to retreat."
When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized, and their admiration for Li Yi increased even more unconsciously.
The reason why Li Yi is so powerful is that he has an ultimate grasp of human nature.
If you know what kind of person your opponent is and what strategies he is using, you can get twice the result with half the effort and success will come naturally.
Qi Hu pretended to be mature and prudent, "The way to use soldiers is to understand the truth and falsehood, but it's just to understand people's hearts!!"
Hearing this, Li Yi glanced at Qi Hu. He valued this young man very much. In time, he would become another handsome man.
He smiled softly and touched his head, "Qi Hu, you are right. The book of war looks simple, but when used, it is ever-changing. You have a lot to learn, so pay attention. There will be many places to point out in the future. you."
"Promise, I will never let you down!" Qi Hu knelt down fiercely.
Neither arrogant nor impatient, he is a good young man!
Li Yi nodded approvingly.
"Qi Hu, have you chosen the men and horses?" Li Yi asked after seeing that the Japanese pirates on the opposite side had moved away.
Qi Hu nodded, "Back to Your Majesty, all the five hundred people who dare to die have been assembled!"
"Okay, they have already moved out of the way and are waiting for us. We can't let them wait too long!"
Li Yi said indifferently.
"Dong dong dong!"
Amidst the sound of horns, the five hundred warriors who had been prepared for death, holding planks in hand, began to fly across the dangerous shoal.
As for other troops, they are gathered in the dangerous shoal area, ready to support at any time.
Li Yi personally took the lead, followed by Cao Qingyan and Qi Hu, who rushed towards the shore with 500 people who dared to die.
When the last plank was laid on the dangerous shoal, Li Yi roared, brandished his long knife and shouted: "Everyone quickly took over the water and prepared to meet the enemy, hurry!"
"Hurry up, follow up!"
Each of these five hundred men who dared to die carried a new type of firecracker on their backs and a shield as high as a person. They quickly climbed onto the beach and formed a half-moon-shaped defensive formation at an extremely fast speed.
Li Yi immediately ordered to put up the banner symbolizing his identity.
This is the best thing to attract enemies.
Qi Hu still had a worried look on his face at this moment. He was still carrying a big gun, a hardwood bow unique to Jiangnan Province in his hand, and a huge quiver on his back.
When he saw the fire blunderbuss in the hands of the five hundred men who dared to die, the worry in his heart deepened.
I couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, although the fire blunderbuss has strong armor-piercing power, it reloads too slowly. In the time it takes to fire one shot, a crossbow can shoot three or four arrows, and a skilled person can shoot seven or eight arrows."
"Really? Then I will teach you how to use the fire gun today!"
Li Yi smiled faintly and said, "Keep your eyes open and watch carefully."
Qi Hu was very curious, but he was still unconvinced.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The Japanese pirates’ unique conch trumpet sound floated in from a distance.
Lots of murderous intent!
The Japanese pirates also took the opportunity to launch an attack.
The Suoyi people who were left on the shore were furious!
Looking from a distance, the black Japanese pirates were as fierce as a surging river, rushing towards the military formation where Li Yi and the others were.
Kuroki and Kimura each rushed over with an army of Japanese pirates.
The two people seemed to be competing with each other.
"Kuromu, just wait, the first victory this time is mine!"
"Kimura, just watch, watch how I defeat the little emperor of the Gale Dynasty and become famous!"
Looking at the team of only 500 people in the distance, the two of them almost laughed out loud with excitement.
These men and horses were like prey brought to their mouths. They had no ability to resist and could only be torn apart by them.
The old captain who stayed behind was also very excited and couldn't help but say, "Little emperor, you are still too young!"
Little did they know that the eyes of death were already fixed on them.
In the blink of an eye.
The extremely ferocious Japanese pirates had already rushed within three hundred steps.
Li Yi's cold smile faded, murderous intent suddenly appeared, and he shouted sharply, "Three hundred steps, raise the muzzle of the gun half an inch, let go!"
In an almost roaring roar, the five hundred men who dared to die pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang!"
The explosions of firecrackers were heard in succession.
Five hundred red-hot iron pellets flew out in an instant, crushing the wave of Japanese pirates.
"Puff puff puff puff!"
Iron pellets poured down like a torrential rain, and the Japanese pirates who rushed at the front fell instantly, and screams and wails came one after another.
This means that the accuracy of the new army is not enough. If the dragoons were replaced, the number of Japanese pirates who fell would be doubled.
The Japanese pirates can have such a high casualty rate thanks to their "good habit of barely wearing armor!"
Each iron pill penetrated the Japanese pirate's body with precision.
After the first round of fierce shooting, the old captain, Kimura, Kuroki and the Japanese pirates were all taken aback.
"No, the enemy has firearms!"
Kuroki and Kimura immediately ordered a counterattack. The Japanese pirates were also equipped with firearms, and they were also sophisticated firearms used by the foreigners.
Before these Japanese pirates could load their firearms, the second round of shooting had already begun.
"Puff puff!"
In the Japanese army formation, another large piece fell like wheat.
Kuroki and Kimura had no choice but to throw away their firearms, drew out their Japanese swords, roared, and continued to charge.
These Japanese pirates were really fierce. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to charge wildly.
And the five hundred people who dared to die seemed to be life-threatening demons crawling out of the underworld!
The firearms fired almost continuously and at extremely high speeds. As the distance got closer and closer, the accuracy also increased.
Ten rounds of shooting!
Ten full rounds of shooting!
The Japanese pirates' military morale was completely shattered.
Faced with such terrifying firearms, the Japanese pirates who suffered heavy casualties finally became frightened and began to turn around and flee for their lives.
His back was completely exposed to the five hundred men who dared to die.
And all these changes took less than half a quarter of an hour.
The Japanese pirates, who had an absolute advantage in numbers and were extremely fierce, were completely stunned.
Even the old captain was confused!
He never expected that Li Yi would be so cunning.
Although there are only 500 people, they possess extremely terrifying firearms.
Only five hundred men and five hundred firearms were able to block the charge of ten thousand of them.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"How can a mere Dafeng man be the opponent of my Japanese warrior!"
Kuroki was horrified and confused. He held a Japanese sword and kept waving it and cursing.
At this moment, an arrow suddenly struck through the air.
