The powerful families gathered their confidants.
We packed our travel expenses and set off immediately.
Suddenly, a merchant ship belonging to the Yuda family escaped back.
It is said that foreign warships are approaching Iwami Province.
They even beat up the Nagato navy halfway there.
"It must be the Tou-i pirates again,"
"Quickly gather the samurai and peasant soldiers!"
"I'm in a panic," Masuda Akiaki said.
Daoyi was the name Goryeo used for their northeastern Jurchen tribes.
The invasion of Toi a hundred years ago,
It left a deep impression on the Japanese.
And many legends and stories have been born from this.
The pirates sailed in more than fifty small coastal boats,
It turned the Japanese coast upside down.
They were only able to defeat the pirates by joining forces with local powerful families.
The descendants of these pirates,
It is highly likely that in history,
Han Shizhong faced the main force of the Jin navy at Huangtiandang.
However, last year at the Yalu River,
They were routed by the Ming Dynasty navy and fled in disarray.
Chapter 3206 Japanese Samurai
Akiaki Masuda himself donned the armor.
Even the officials in the halls of power transformed into warriors.
He sent people back to the countryside to gather his own peasant soldiers.
When Zhao Xiaozhong landed at a fishing port,
Iwami Province has already gathered several hundred soldiers.
However, their combat effectiveness is rather lackluster.
Japanese armor at this time,
Not the kind of slutty, cheap women from the Warring States period.
It looks much simpler.
Or rather, it's a knock-off, beggar's version of Tang and Song dynasty armor!
Even hairstyles and headbands,
They are all very similar to those of the Tang and Song dynasties.
Regardless of height
At first glance, they looked like soldiers from the Song Dynasty.
Some powerful figures didn't even have proper samurai status.
They were all dressed in 2-piece armor.
This thing originated in Japan's Kofun period.
It was further improved by incorporating the techniques of Tang and Song dynasty armor.
The skirt extends to the thighs.
The neck and armpits are fully exposed.
The shoulder armor extends to the outside of the elbow.
However, there was no armor protecting the inside of the elbow.
The materials are mostly iron or copper sheets strung together.
The forearms were wrapped in leather.
The armed forces of several hundred powerful clans in Iwami Province
There were only a dozen or so simple suits of armor in total.
There were also dozens of leather or bamboo armors.
All of them are designed with a two-piece armor style.
The other peasant soldiers, let alone armor,
Even their clothes were tattered and torn.
They came to war carrying only bamboo spears.
They were just powerful armed forces.
What more could you ask for?
At this time in Japan,
Only border or key counties,
Only then can one possess a lord and his army.
Where is Japan's border?
Of course, it's a place adjacent to the barbarians.
Otherwise, why would there be a General Who Conquers the Barbarians?
Several samurai were sent to gather intelligence.
They rode their horses towards the small fishing village.
I was first taken aback by the naval ships.
Then, emboldened, he continued to approach.
Squads of Ming Dynasty soldiers disembarked.
These guys were dumbfounded.
Arrest them all!
Zhao Xiaozhong gave the order.
Zhao Xiaozhong brought only a small number of cavalry.
There were a total of several dozen light cavalrymen.
They were all former bandits from Shandong.
Even the Ming Dynasty's light cavalry,
Its armor was comparable to that of Japanese warlords.
The warhorses had crossed the sea and hadn't rested yet.
The Ming light cavalry then spurred their horses and gave chase.
Compared to Japanese ponies,
These were second-rate warhorses raised by horse handlers during the Northern Song Dynasty.
It can be described as extremely fast when it runs.
"Run! The armored cavalry are coming!"
The Japanese samurai exclaimed in surprise.
Dozens of Ming Dynasty light cavalry,
They quickly caught up with the Japanese samurai.
The three-meter-long rifles in their hands
This is simply bullying!
When attacking, every thrust is accurate.
The samurai's leather armor had too many exposed areas.
Inner arms, armpits, ribs, and neck above the collarbone.
None of them had any armor to cover them.
And the lances in their hands
It is less than two meters long.
What the hell is this?
The Ming Dynasty's light cavalry, in order to capture people,
There's not even a need for a stab.
He swung his spear and swept it horizontally.
After being swept off the horse,
Take it back as a tongue.
Masuda Akiaki waited for a long time.
But the samurai did not return to report the news.
He remained silent until this point.
I thought it was pirates.
He actually led hundreds of powerful armed men to attack the small fishing village.
Until they ran into the Ming Dynasty light cavalry halfway there,
Masuda Akiaki exclaimed in surprise, "These aren't pirates!"
"They must be Goryeo's armored cavalry."
"Quickly retreat to the city and defend it to the death!"
"We await reinforcements from the Emperor!"
Chapter 3207 Attacking the Japanese Castle
"kill!"
The cavalry officer was another adopted son of Zhao Yuan.
His name is Zhao Shouyi.
He is only seventeen years old this year.
I spent a year working in Hebei with Li Yanxian.
He has witnessed grand scenes but has never engaged in fierce battles.
At this moment, Zhao Shouyi led dozens of light cavalry...
They charged straight towards the hundreds of Japanese warlords and their armed forces.
Upon seeing this, Masuda Akiaki
Knowing that they could no longer retreat,
Otherwise, his entire force would consist of infantry.
