Watching the small boats coming one after another, many soldiers were carried up by their comrades, and some people were bleeding. Of course, these were some poultry prepared in advance, and they were killed directly after docking. Anyway, the people of Fuso could not take them for testing at this time, so how did they know it would be like this?
Anyone who has sailed on the sea knows that once encountering wind and waves, the entire ship will shake violently. Whether it is caused by bumps or other reasons, the physical injuries will be very serious, so it is normal to find a place to heal.
According to the soldiers who came ashore, their water tanks were smashed and the people on the boat had no water left, which caused their current weakness. If they had not seen this piece of land, they would probably have died here.
According to what they said, the local officials saved their lives, and if they returned to the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely report to the Emperor.
After hearing this, Lord Watanabe was extremely happy and immediately ordered his men to act faster. You know, the emperors of Fuso in this era were all enthroned by the Tang Dynasty. If he could get an imperial edict to enthronize him, then he would really stand up in the entire Fuso.
The soldiers watched their master busy and gesticulating, so they relaxed their vigilance. When someone came up at the beginning, they didn't take their hands off their weapons, but now they couldn't care less. Under the command of Lord Watanabe, these troops also joined the busy sequence.
Ding Yongqiang is Ding Tu's cousin and also the first commanding general to go ashore. When he saw that everyone was on their way to help, he even felt a little guilty in his heart. They treated us as guests, but we actually coveted their territory. This is a very bad thing.
After all, they are all honest people. They did not do a good job in the current matter. However, when they think of the military order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the information they had received before, they know that these local officials are just hypocritical. If they had not indulged themselves, how could those pirates reach the coast of our country?
Thinking of this, Ding Yongqiang no longer had so much psychological burden. Seeing that most of the soldiers below had come up, he winked at several team leaders who were about to take action. These people also grabbed their crossbows, which were tied to their left hands. They were also asked not to carry weapons when they landed just now.
As for the chain crossbow, not to mention the people of Fuso, even many people in the Tang Dynasty had never seen it. It was only available in Li Xiang's army.
"Get started."
Lord Watanabe had to rely on an interpreter to communicate. He was helping out at the moment and was gesturing enthusiastically with the soldier in front of him. He was completely immersed in the joy of receiving an imperial edict from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But for some reason, he was suddenly held at neck by a dagger by the soldier in front of him.
Many people around also reacted, including these ordinary people. They all lived by the sea and were naturally accustomed to big scenes. However, when they wanted to resist, an arrow was immediately pierced in the chest.
The entire dock was in chaos in an instant, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers lying on the ground did not panic. The three of them leaned together and attacked everyone around them with crossbows.
Although some people may have been wronged, war itself is cruel. If we don't take action against them, what will we do if they become stronger and take action against us in the future? So in order to avoid our own people being hurt, your people will have to suffer a little.
At the same time, Ding Yongqiang immediately released a signal to the sky. The people on the boat also knew that action had taken place on the shore. They were only a few hundred meters away from the shore, and many small boats accelerated towards this side.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Lord Watanabe was dumbfounded. The guards behind him were also very powerful, but at this moment they had all been knocked to the ground. The gap in weapons between the two sides was too big. They were still using swords, guns, sticks and clubs, while the Tang Dynasty was already using crossbows.
Lord Watanabe kept talking, but unfortunately the translator was dead and there was no one to translate for him.
"Stop talking nonsense."
A soldier slapped him in the face. After all, this guy was a local official. No one had ever been so rude to him before, so after being slapped, this guy shut up obediently.
The people in the city rushed into the city. The dock was very lively just now, but now there are not many people.
"Occupy the entire dock and find all the living people. Don't leave any hidden dangers for us."
After the second group of landing personnel came up, Ding Yongqiang immediately gave orders. This is our base for future advances, so any safety hazards must be eliminated. The most important thing is that our warships are all made of wood. If they come close later, only an oil lamp will be enough to burn the entire fleet.
"Bring this guy up to see our general."
Apart from Lord Watanabe, the rest of the people on the entire dock were dead bodies lying all over the place. There might have been some enthusiastic civilians among them who came to help, but that's just your bad luck.
Half an hour ago, Lord Watanabe really wanted to board the Tang Dynasty's warship and see how the Tang people built such a ship. No wonder they were able to sail here from Goguryeo.
Now his wish has finally come true, but he does not feel happy at all. If he has to choose, he would rather this fleet had not come.
"State your name and title."
Although Lord Watanabe's translator died, Ding Tu also had a translator next to him.
Lord Watanabe already understood that this was all premeditated. Just look at the people on the boat, each of them is as strong as a calf. There is no way they were injured in a storm at sea.
"You are deceiving us. We were happy to help you, but you actually deceived us..."
Before Lord Watanabe could finish his words, Ding Tu came up and gave him a side kick, sending the guy flying several meters away.
"I hope you'll understand from now on. Let's keep our conversations simple. Just answer whatever I ask. If your answer isn't what I asked, I don't mind practicing it again..."
