Liu Pei was very happy to greet Qi Qitao! He shook hands with Qi Qitao vigorously and said loudly: "Well done!" This time we won! ”

Qi Qitao's face has been blackened and white by gunsmoke. But at this moment, his fighting spirit did not disappear, and after wiping his face, he said: "Family master, how to fight the next battle?" ”

Liu Peinunu said: "Look! The other party has already come up. Let's meet their onslaught. ”

Qi Qitao, you look back, and sure enough, the main formation of Huashan Jiugao has already increased its speed and pressed towards this side. At the same time, Kayama Hisataka also sent some soldiers to drive away the iron artillery ashigaru who had fled to the main formation, driving them to the sides of the main formation.

Hisataka Kayama closed his eyes tightly when he saw the Iron Cannon Ashigaru collapse. He knew that he was basically losing the battle. The scattered iron cannon ashigaru is completely out of hope! If you want to bring them together completely, you can't do it without an hour. Even if you put it away, you won't need it! And the other party will never give them this chance.

When Liu Pei listed the formation, Hisaka Kayama, who was old in war, easily estimated that the other party was not a team of 2,000 people, but a 3,000-man force that was basically the same as his team. After the siege battle, a number of ashigaru were lost. Removing the collapsed iron cannon, he now has less than 1,500 troops in his hands.

And Liu Pei's total strength at this time was more than 2,000 people, which was six or seven hundred more than him. In this way, he is a big gap in combat power. Coupled with the loss of morale caused by the collapse of the iron cannon, he no longer dared to think about the future development of the war.

Now his only chance to turn the tables is to concentrate all his vital forces, directly take the opponent's Chinese army, and kill the opponent's main general. There may be a silver lining to this!

Therefore, when Kayama Hisakaka saw the collapse of the iron cannon Ashigaru, he immediately ordered to send a few samurai with a group of elites to drive away the defeated deserters. Then he ordered the formation to speed up and press up. He followed the rear of the formation with a reserve of more than 200 people.

The main formation of the Japanese people was led by Kono Kamiyoshi himself. Under his command, the formation slowly turned into a sharp array, ready to carry out the chiseling tactic.

Liu Pei saw in the telescope that the opponent's arrow formation was forming, so he said: "Thicken the thickness of our formation." The other party's arrow formation seems to be coming at me. ”

The flag bearer behind him immediately waved the flag. Seeing the flag, the original long horizontal line slowly deformed. From the original three rows of horizontal formations, after slowly retracting, it has become a dense large phalanx with six rows of people.

Liu Pei knew that his family would definitely be weaker than those samurai and elite ashigaru in individual combat. So he was ready to use his thickness to fend off the opponent's charge. The charge of the Japanese people is indeed fierce, but it cannot last! As long as they withstood the initial onslaught of the Japanese people, they should be the ones who were slaughtered.

After the formation was changed, Liu Pei asked the formation to stop and waited for the opponent to approach. And the Japanese soldiers maintained their formation and slowly pressed over. The pace is slow, not impatient.

In fact, on the battlefield, it is rare to see soldiers shouting and screaming straight up. Those who do that are recruits, and they are often the first to die. Because they consumed their physical strength too quickly, they were left to breathe when they were fighting, and they let people cut off their heads in vain!

Experienced soldiers will calmly distribute their physical strength, save when they should save, and never spare their physical strength when they should be desperate. People like these are elite and know what they have to do. Don't look at them walking slowly now, they will only launch an attack when they are only twenty or thirty steps away from their opponents, and their impact force is extraordinarily violent at that time!

The Japanese army approached closer and closer, and soon approached within a hundred paces. Commanding in the middle of the Blade Arrow Formation was Kono Kamiyoshi. In the entire army, the one who knows the consequences of not winning this battle is except for Kayama Hidaka. Therefore, Kono Kamiyoshi has made up his mind that even if he dies in battle, he will tear apart the opponent's formation and capture the opponent's leader.

At this time, he had already set his eyes on Liu Pei opposite. Because Liu Pei is too conspicuous in the crowd! First, he was on a horse, and secondly, he had a particularly large red goggles on his face. His presence could be seen at a distance of one or two hundred steps.

Seeing that the other party was approaching, Liu Pei ordered the musketeers to attack and shoot at the Japanese soldiers in the distance. After receiving the order, the musketeers on the left and right flanks quickly stepped forward and lined up horizontally on the flanks of the Blade Formation, firing.

The guns of the families are much sharper than the iron cannons of the Japanese people! With each salvo, several people on both sides of the Blade Formation fell to the ground screaming. Kono Kamiyoshi is also heartbroken when he sees this situation! Now every ashigaru on the island is an elite who has been trained for a long time and has been in battle. It turned out to be so meaningless, and he fell under the fire of the firecracker! Day after day, more than ten years of training, easily offset by a small buckshot!

In the first round of shooting, more than 20 people fell in the front arrow formation. This made Yoshiyoshi Kono breathe a sigh of relief. Although the current losses are slightly higher than against other daimyo iron guns, Ashigaru is acceptable.

But when the two teams of musketeers finished loading on the spot and fired again, Kono Kamiyoshi was a little overwhelmed! As the distance closes, the casualties of the ashigaru have risen significantly! Each round of the gunner's shot killed or wounded three or four people to more than a dozen people! The two rotational volleys of the two winged musketeers caused them more than sixty casualties!

The gap in the Japanese Blade Formation was once again filled by the Ashigaru themselves, and the formation was restored. The courage of the ashigaru is still there! They didn't look at the wailing and weeping wounded, and continued to stride forward. But Kono Kamiyoshi hesitated at this time. The firecracker and the iron cannon ashigaru left a deep impression on him! At the same time, he no longer has the iron cannon to suppress the opponent's firecrackers. If the gunners were to continue firing like this, their side would continue to lose blood, causing a lack of impact and incoherence, making it difficult to break through the opposing phalanx.

If that's the case, he'll have to shift his aim, choose one side to rush past the Herald and scatter the musketeers, and then flank the opponent's own formation. But there is another problem, if he chooses to turn, his flanks will be exposed in front of the opponent's home formation. It is easy to be flanked by the enemy, and there is also a great risk.

By this time, the musketeers had already raised their muskets and were ready to shoot in the third rotation. Several of Kono's retainers immediately protected him with their bodies. Kono was not polite, and he kept an eye on the movements of the firecrackers as he walked slowly.

The sound of fire rang out, and there was another scream in the ranks. Unmoved, Konogami waited patiently for the three salvos to pass under the siege of his retainers. After the three volleys were completed, he didn't bother to check the casualties, so he pushed away his retainers to observe the movements of the musketeers. What made Kono Ueyoshi feel fortunate was that the opponent's firecracker actually slowly retreated.

Now Kono Kamiyoshi finally put his mind at ease. He thought that his opponent's tactics were the same as him, which was to disrupt the opponent's formation with firecrackers, and then attack with the main force. He's not afraid of this tactic! Ever since he came into battle, he's faced this tactic and it's been easy to deal with. But what he didn't know was that this was clearly a trap set by Liu Pei for him!

Yoshimi Kono's firecrackers were indeed slowly retreating, and immediately began to form a team. When he found that the Gunners were starting to retreat, not only did he breathe a sigh of relief, but even the other samurai and ashigaru men breathed a sigh of relief! He actually felt a slight boost in the morale of the team!

This is not surprising either. After all, the fire gun just now was too demoralizing! The enemy used a tactic that had never been seen before to defeat the iron cannon Ashigaru with a neat and crisp defeat, which was not seen in the Wa War. This has reduced morale by almost half!

Then they were repeatedly ravaged with firearms on the way forward, but they were unable to fight back, which hurt their morale even more! Just when everyone was worried that the opponent's musketeers would continue to shoot, the opponent's musketeers were actually slowly retreating! This is clearly the rhythm of head-on impact! That's what I do best! So everyone suddenly found that things were back on the normal track all of a sudden, and of course they were in a good mood!
