After a moment of hesitation, the bandits and pirates of the brigade continued to move forward.

This time, the bandits and pirates still regrouped, a small number of people stayed on the tidal flats to walk, and more people leaned towards the official roads and the wasteland on the side of the road, and the array began to pull apart, and the bandits of more than 1,000 people formed a long oblique line, and the more they walked, the more crooked.

Seeing the bandits continue to move forward, the sharp whistle sounded again, and the unarmored soldiers began to help the armored soldiers get up, most of the armored soldiers were sword players, and a small number were spear officers.

There was a rumbling sound in the entire banner array, which was the sound of the nail leaf vibrating.

After the armoured banner army got up, he whispered thanks to the robe that pulled him.

The team officers held flag guns in their hands and looked at the flag team with a nervous expression.

The flag captains looked much calmer, they saw that the hundred generals had gathered on Min Yuanqi's side, obviously waiting for military orders, so they also stood in their positions on the left side of the flag team, and the flag bearer stood beside the flag captain, waiting for the army.

It seems that a switch has been turned on, people are still nervous, and there are some inexplicable emotions, most of these people are new troops, they have never been on the battlefield at all, there has been a pre-war mobilization before this, and the officers have been calming the hearts of the army, but many people seem to wake up like a dream at this time, it turns out that they are not dreaming or have room for maneuver, they really want to pick up swords and guns and fight for people's lives!

This made many flag soldiers extremely uneasy, and even wanted to flee!

But the strict military discipline has always made many flag soldiers still subconsciously do things according to the requirements of the officers, get up, line up, and pay attention to the robes and officers around them.

When everything is done, many people are immersed in inertia, after the whole team, after seeing the robes and brothers around them and those Rulin swords and guns, many flag soldiers are reorganizing the weapons in their hands, although the heart is still uneasy, but the mood is much more stable.

Min Yuanqi had no intention of mobilizing before the war, the military attachés with battlefield experience had done it before, and what he had to do now was to appear under the banner in front of the formation, ride a horse and command the battle.

During the first battle of Shuiguan, Min Yuanqi was a soldier in front of him, there was no way to do it, at this time, he just had to stay in his command position and watch his subordinates break the enemy with peace of mind.

"Each hundred always pulls to the right flank, the soldiers break the enemy's left flank from the right flank, break the enemy's rear to complete the outflanking, the fire flag team to the left flank, strengthen the defense capability of the left flank, all the soldiers in three columns to open the mandarin duck array, ready to meet the enemy!"

It seems to be a natural ability, and it seems to be a random decision, no matter what, the final deployment before the war is completed.

The total flag of the hundred is displayed, and the flags of each flag team begin to respond to the flag, and then the total number of each hundred is opened, and each hundred is an array of three columns of mandarin duck squads, which is to open the marching column into a horizontal line.

Shen Liang moved to the left flank with the Torch Bearers, facing the right flank of bandits and pirates.

The cavalry was also placed behind the left flank, and after the last two sentinels returned to the team, the cavalry of twenty-one men was also assembled.

In terms of troop allocation, the banner army only has more than 20 people and 21 cavalry, and the rest are all melee soldiers, and there are no more ranged troops and cavalry.

The bandits and pirates walked closer, and it could also be found that there were dozens of archers among them, and at this time most of them walked on the right flank of the bandits, and most of them walked between the official road and the wasteland and acres of land on the right flank.

A large number of bandits walked in a mess, all kinds of weapons in their hands were waved high, and when they walked within a mile, they could see the appearance of many bandits.

Most of them are the same height as ordinary people, about five feet, that is, about one meter six or five men are tall.

Their robes are also varied, with all kinds of colors, and some even wear raw blue robes, most of which are obtained by looting. As the weather turned hot at noon, many bandits not only lifted the hem of their robes and tied them around their waistbands, but even untied their chest robes to expose their chests.

Most of the bandits are unkempt, they look like vagabonds, that is, they hold all kinds of weapons in their hands, and their expressions are vicious, most of them have cold eyes and a look of anger, even if they are one or two people, they are difficult to provoke, and the general good people will never want to provoke this kind of ferocious and vicious people, when hundreds or thousands of people gather together, that kind of ferocious and violent atmosphere, even if they are far away, it is also terrifying.

The flag army was in a commotion, especially when the bandits approached and began to howl, it was just some intimidating and scolding words, but the fear of ordinary people for these murderers was not a day, even the long-trained flag army still couldn't help but feel timid when they saw more than a thousand bandits and pirates.

The crowd watching the excitement from a distance also exclaimed, many people subconsciously stayed away, and more people chose to leave. At the beginning, due to the strong appearance of the banner soldiers, many bold people dared to stay and watch the excitement, and when they saw the big group of bandits coming, these people didn't even dare to provoke the scoundrels, where did they dare to see these murderous bandits up close? Even the bandits who came over Yancheng were murderous goods, and most of the Ding Zhuang who were coerced by the rogue were forced to join, and they may have been honest farmers before, while the bandits in Taiping were deserters without exception, scoundrels and green-skinned wanderers. These people do not produce, they are idle, once they commit a crime, they fall into the grass and become bandits, they rob homes and rob people's property, kill people and set fires, and the ferocity on their bodies is quite obvious, and they are mixed together all the year round to fight hard, compete with each other, fight and fight for their lives are common things. Therefore, the officers and soldiers are not invincible in suppressing bandits, especially the officers and soldiers in the inner towns, who may not be able to win easily against bandits, and those who want to take advantage of the bandits' military merits may not be able to easily succeed.

"The enemy is nearly half a mile, and the whole army is ready to fight!"

"Tiger!"

When the sentry retreated, the distance was marked on the side of the road, and the bandits did not understand this, and naturally no one destroyed it.

When the chaotic bandits of the brigade entered within half a mile, Min Yuanqi gave a loud order, the battalion flag waved, and all the flag troops let out a hoarse shout, and all the hundred and all the flag teams responded to the flag, and then attacked forward with a neat array.

"Nearly two hundred steps, open the fire door!"

Shen Liang looked at the sun, it was really good weather, and such weather was most suitable for using firearms.

His subordinates hold a variety of firearms, after Shen Yong's polishing and repair, plus the old objects are of very good quality, in the past twenty or thirty years the Ministry of Industry and the towns out of the firearms are uneven, especially the Ministry of Industry, it is simply synonymous with poor quality, all the battalions of the military towns do not like to use the Ministry of Labor, when Wang Gongchang exploded, it is said that many military town battalions actually applauded, because they were pitted by the firearms bureau of the Beijing Division is too miserable.

These various firearms, including large and small passionstones, as well as Japanese imitations, are also old objects. Those two muskets are at least almost a hundred years old.

Fortunately, the pipe, handguard, trigger, these important objects have either been replaced, or re-polished, the time is too short, Shen Yong's newly made bird gun has not yet made one, this time can only use these old things.

In Shen Liang's hand was a bird gun, whether it was used by the Qi family military or imitated, the quality was quite high.

The blue and faint gun pipe is made of high-grade Min iron wrought iron, the whole body weighs about seven catties, the handguard and other parts have been replaced, Shen Yong's technology is quite good, the bird gun after the replacement of parts has been reborn, Shen Yong put the bird gun on his shoulder, there is an unparalleled sense of peace of mind and full of strength.

Whether it is a sword or a spear, Shen Yong uses it very well, but the best weapon in his eyes and what he wants to use the most is undoubtedly the bird gun in his hand.

It may be the influence of those Portuguese who also used smoothbore guns, those people used guns of much better quality than the muskets of the Ming Dynasty, but nothing more than farther and more powerful, the same is also a breech charge, stuffed with bullets, open the fire door and fire rope to ignite the primer, and then the musket vibrates, bursts into flames, and fires the sub-charge.

It looks the same, but in the eyes of the Ming generals, the firearms soldiers are bluffing consumables, in the mouth of the Portuguese, they are relying on these muskets, they have laid down no less than the Ming territory, its fleet is all over the world, the land seized is also all over the world, even in the Ming Dynasty, they are also in Macau, just because the Ming Dynasty is strong, they dare not forcibly occupy, with the method of bribing local officials to live temporarily......

Shen Yong also admired these people at that time, none of these people were willing to stay at home honestly, and they ran out to be soldiers more than 10,000 miles away from home, and they were all happy! If it weren't for Kong Youde's sudden rebellion, the more than 100 instructors and more than 200 soldiers would probably help the Ming Dynasty bring out tens of thousands of qualified musketeers, but according to the style of the Ming Dynasty, even if there are soldiers who can fight, it is doubtful whether they can be used well.

Shen Liang didn't think too much about it, he stood in front of the left side of the flag team, and after giving the order, he had already raised the bird gun on his back horizontally on his chest.

Both sides are marching forward in formation, the banner army here is the sound of neat footsteps, there is also the sound of rapid breathing, but on the opposite side is the constant shouting and scolding, the closer they get, the more clear the bandits' intimidating and scolding words are, and even the fierce faces full of anger can be seen quite clearly.

When the two sides approached within 100 paces, the array of the banner army remained largely intact.

According to Min Yuanqi's deployment, the right flank was heavy, attacking the left flank of the enemy near the beach, and the bandits and pirates tore apart a large-scale horizontal formation, but the nest of chaotic coaxing did not form a formation at all, and the right flank of the other side was close to the official road and farmland wasteland, and a large number of bandits could not help but assemble on the right flank, and the left flank tidal flats were obviously understaffed, which was a rather conspicuous shortcoming.

Gao Cuncheng and Yang Zhijin's 3rd and 4th Commanders both sideways to the enemy's left flank, while Min Yuanzhong's 1st & Min Yuanjin's 2nd & 3rd & 4th Commanders kept moving in unison, pressing towards the enemy's center and right flank.

Shen Liang's breathing became a little heavy, and at this time, the bandits on the opposite side shouted at the top of their throats, and Shen Liang scolded with disgust: "My day, your mother, call your mother." ”

Before a word fell, there was a bangzi sound on the opposite side, dozens of archers led their bows to the sky together, and the arrows quickly fell to the side of the banner army.

"Captain Flag, shall we let it go?" The two firecracker officers looked around anxiously as they urged their subordinates to move forward.

Dozens of arrows were shot at a distance of seventy or eighty paces, and the arrows were shot from the back, seventy or eighty steps apart, and the strength of the arrows when they landed was still not small.

Most of the arrows fell to the ground, or they fell by the body and stuck diagonally on the ground.

There are also a small number of blocked by the knife player, but not all of them are lucky, there are two unarmored flag soldiers in the shoulder and chest hit by the arrow, the arrow in the shoulder left the team by itself, many people saw the blood on his shoulder like a spring, half of the robe was obviously stained by blood, the arrow in the chest into the body was very deep, the man fell, the blood stained the chest robe, the whole person was unconscious, this person was quickly dragged out of the array by the anti-Fu soldiers who rushed over, the anti-Fu soldiers had wound medicine bags on their bodies, which were debrided with soju and disinfected with honey, This was Min Yuanqi's order, and then applied Jinchuang medicine to stop bleeding, and then tied it with a steamed and sterilized bandage.
