The iron armor is clanking, and the spears are like a long forest.
When the advance team led by Lan Yu actually arrived at the shallow water area, they did not immediately launch a chaotic charge.
Instead, after Lan Yu set up the vanguard general's tooth flag, all the vanguard members on the speedboat began to gather towards Lan Yu's tooth flag.
These early climbers have conducted military exercises for this kind of landing battle countless times during their usual training.
Naturally, these team members knew exactly what to do and what not to do.
It has to be said that these first team members are all wearing paper armor. Although the defense is not as good as iron armor, it is still not a problem to defend against bow and arrow fire from fifty steps away.
This is the armor Li Jin specially built for these first team members.
The main material of these armors is leather. In order to increase the armor's defense, Li Jin specially had four layers of leather glued together.
Some key parts of the paper nails, such as the heart and chest, will be inlaid with patches.
The reason why paper armor is chosen as the main battle armor of the first team is because it is light and soft.
Although paper armor seems thin and light, it actually has excellent protective properties.
The use of multiple layers of leather can make the paper armor have a certain degree of bulletproof and puncture resistance, especially the protection against bows and arrows.
The main combat targets of the navy's advance team were Japanese pirates. Although Li Jin could not say that he knew himself or the enemy against these Japanese pirates, he knew that the weapons of these Japanese pirates must be very crude.
At least bows and arrows are very rare.
What Li Jin feared most during the landing battle was long-range weapons. After all, as long as the navy's first team could form a formation on the sea, Japanese pirates would not be a concern at all.
What Li Jin was most worried about was that during the landing process, he would be attacked by arrows from the opponent, resulting in heavy casualties, which Li Jin could not accept.
That's why Li Jin came up with such a set of paper armor.
Its function is to withstand some bows that are not very powerful, and even powerful crossbows cannot be used by Japanese pirates.
At the same time, it would not affect the landing operations of the first team. If they wore heavy armor, Li Jin was worried that the first team would be unable to move on the beach.
These paper armors are light and are only a little heavier than ordinary clothes when worn on the body, so they will not affect the movement of the advance team too much.
Even Lan Yu was wearing pure white paper armor, and with the eight-petal iron-pointed helmet on her head, she looked like Baylor during the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Of course, Li Jin's inspiration for making paper armor came from the paper armor worn by the Manchus in later generations.
In fact, the prosperity of paper armor was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At that time, the Ming Dynasty's finances collapsed and there was no financial resources to manufacture high-quality iron armor, so paper armor could only be used to make up for it.
Most of this kind of paper armor was made of paper and silk inlays. As a result, after the Ming army put on these paper armors, they could not withstand the powerful heavy arrows of the Qing Dynasty and suffered heavy casualties.
On the contrary, the Manchus seized these paper armors and wore them on their bodies, which could effectively withstand the Ming Dynasty's arrows and bring out the fullest effect of the paper armors.
Now Li Jin applied these paper armors to the navy's advance team. The weak arrows of the Japanese pirates on the shore could not cause any substantial damage to the advance team.
Only a few members of the team who were on the team first were scratched by stray arrows, but it was innocuous.
Under Lan Yu's call, more than 400 first-come teams were quickly assembled.
Zhu Di was in the middle of the team, his face was covered by the hood of his helmet, and he was not recognized by Lan Yu.
Seeing the black pirates on the shore, who were fighting and fighting without any formation, Zhu Di's eyes shone, and his heart couldn't help but beat violently.
Not fear, but excitement.
Zhu Di was so excited that his hands could not help but tremble. These Japanese pirates were really not afraid of death.
To actually appear in the field of view of his gun without looking for any cover, Zhu Di felt that these people standing there were just living targets.
No, it's easier to hit than a target.
You must know that in the secret training base on Zhoushan Island, Li Jin trained these soldiers in various ways.
The training is completely based on the special forces. Various physical exercises, wilderness survival, and shooting events. As long as Li Jin can think of it, everything has been arranged for these people.
After all, the people of this era are very simple, especially the Yiwu soldiers, who are physically strong and whose ancestral skill is fighting, so they are naturally excellent soldiers.
In addition, these people are all good families specially selected by Li Jin. With Li Jin constantly instilling obedience orders in them, these soldiers can practice all the projects set by Li Jin very well.
As long as there is enough food and money, none of this will be a problem for the Yiwu soldiers.
What Li Jin is most in need of is money.
Under Li Jin's inhumane and crazy oppression, a passable 400 advance team was trained.
These people seem to be very few in number, but they are all elites who have been selected through hard work and selection.
Especially for shooting events, if you are not qualified, you will not even be qualified to enter the first team.
In shooting events, the most common test is to shoot at moving targets.
Zhu Di ranked among the best in this shooting event, so he was eligible for an exceptional promotion.
Holding the fire gun tightly in his hand, Zhu Di could even feel bursts of joy coming from the fire gun at this moment. This feeling of connectedness is the main reason why Zhu Di was able to achieve such good results.
The tense atmosphere continues to gather on the coast. More and more Japanese pirates are gathering on the coast. The first team has been divided into four columns under Lan Yu's arrangement.
"Four-stage form, array!!"
Lan Yu stood at the front of the team, holding the drawn waist knife high in his hand, shouting at the Japanese pirates on the coast:
"Ready to shoot!!"
Zhu Di and others raised their guns one after another, with the black muzzles pointing forward.
Scattered arrows still came from the shore, but most of them were weak.
At this time, the Japanese pirates saw that their own people were outnumbered and the enemies only had less than a few hundred people, so their confidence was greatly increased.
Waving a broadsword and spear in his hand, he rushed towards Lan Yu with a roar.
The leader had a bald head with two small braids on both sides. He was clearly a real Japanese.
Most of the people behind him were wearing Ming Dynasty costumes, and even their hair accessories were Han Chinese.
Lan Yu was slightly stunned when she saw that these people not only did not run away, but even dared to charge towards her without risking their lives.
But then, a cruel smile curled up at the corner of Lan Yu's mouth, and she said in a cold voice:
"Shoot, leave no one behind!!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
As Lan Yu swung down the waist knife in his hand, there was a violent sound of beans exploding behind him.
This shooting was completely different from the free shooting on the ship just now. This time it was a volley fired in formation.
The power is naturally different from what it was just now.
Sure enough, with the sound of gunfire, the Japanese pirates who were screaming like crazy and charging towards this side instantly fell down in large pieces.
The momentum of the charge stagnated.
The Shinwa who was at the forefront of the charge just now and screamed the loudest died in a miserable state.
Half of the Tianling Cap was cut off from his head, and two big holes were blown out of his chest. It was obvious that he was being taken special care of.
"Don't be afraid, keep charging. This is a musket. As long as we get close, we will win!"
Someone in the crowd shouted and continued to encourage the Japanese pirates to continue charging.
"Kill!!"
Those who can become Japanese pirates are naturally brave and fierce people. They just hesitated for a moment and continued to charge forward with shouts.
"Kill these bastards to death!"
He charged again and again while still yelling, as if to embolden himself.
"Bang bang bang!"
Unfortunately, things backfired and the hellish gunfire continued.
This time, more Japanese pirates fell. After all, the distance between the two was no more than thirty steps.
The distance of thirty steps is basically within the maximum killing range of the fire gun. Not only can it penetrate the human body, but it can even reach the maximum shooting distance with accuracy.
Under the precise attack of the first team, these Japanese pirates were like wheat. When the sea breeze blew, the people in the front row fell one after another.
The thousand people who originally charged forward with great momentum were reduced by 20% in the blink of an eye. This kind of terrifying lethality was simply a massacre!
"Rush, rush over, don't stop, they are already dead, this is the last blow!!"
The previous voice sounded again, trying to encourage the Japanese pirates to continue charging.
