Chapter 359: Formation

Natsume Yoshiaki thought that Tokugawa Kihide had changed his mind, and turned his head happily, but he didn't expect Tokugawa Kihide to just say gloomily: "Let those native Chinese pirates rush to the front, and if you don't obey, you will directly cut off their heads!" Our heroic Dongying samurai can't be sacrificed meaninglessly, the enemy's musket range is only more than 100 meters, let those guys use it as a shield for us, as long as we rush over, no one is the opponent of our heroic Toei samurai! ……”

Natsume Yoshiaki sighed secretly, at this time Tokugawa Kihide was still thinking about calculating the local pirates of the alliance, although Tokugawa Kihide could indeed reduce the damage of their descendants, but it would make those native pirates completely centrifugal, if they couldn't take the port as they wished, then even if they escaped, there was no way to organize a pirate coalition to counterattack. Natsume Yoshiaki knew that with Tokugawa Kihide's stubborn personality, he couldn't hear any dissenting opinions at this time, so he didn't say anything and continued to carry out Tokugawa Kihide's orders.

Tokugawa Kihide's personal guard is composed of Japanese ronin samurai selected by him, all of them are strong in martial arts, with one enemy and ten, and their loyalty is also very high, and they are ruthless, so they saw the effect as soon as they went up, and after chopping the heads of hundreds of fleeing local pirates like chopping melons and vegetables, those local pirates also had to rush forward with the rain of bullets from the New Army. Although the range of the flintlock pistol is farther than that of ordinary arquebuses, it is only a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, so the Japanese pirates quickly approached the defense line of the New Army by using the local pirates to rush in front as a human shield, and the eyes of Natsume Yoshiaki, who led the team, also showed a hint of joy, he was still confident in the combat effectiveness of these descendants of the Japanese warriors under his command, as long as he could start a direct meat with the New Army. Fight the encounter, this battle is even won!

Sun Zhiyong and Li Guozhu, who were in charge of the command, saw that the situation was developing in an unfavorable direction for the New Army, glanced at each other, and ordered in unison: "Retreat!" Since the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles immediately put away their flintlock pistols, they turned around and retreated in unison, disappearing behind the "pile" bunkers stacked with sacks.

When Yoshiaki Natsume saw that the opportunity had come, he shouted excitedly: "Hurry up!" In fact, there is no need for him to shout, the pirates have been pressed and beaten by the new army with flintlock pistols, and even the side of the new army has been killed and wounded a lot, and they are very aggrieved in their hearts, and now the rain of bullets has suddenly disappeared, so they are naturally rushing forward with their lives!

But they didn't expect that their nightmare had just begun, they rushed to the "pile" bunker, and a row of bright spears stabbed over, directly stabbing the pirates who rushed to the front into meat skewers, and before the pirates behind could react, "Huh! The spears were retracted, and the Forces Novulates who formed the pikes quickly disappeared behind cover again.

Natsume Yoshiaki didn't panic much when he saw this scene, since the New Army didn't dare to fight with them face to face in a formation and fight an encounter, it means that the New Army has run out of donkey skills, although their troops have lost a lot in the previous artillery battles and gun battles, but the total strength is still more than the New Army, and most of the dead are local pirates with poor combat effectiveness, most of the Japanese samurai are still there, even if the New Army uses bunkers to fight street battles with them, he is not afraid!

Thinking of this, Natsume Yoshiaki no longer hesitated, and commanded the Dongying samurai of the lineage to rush through the bunker and take the initiative to find the decisive battle of the New Army, and the New Army seemed to be unable to "hide", and began to engage with the Japanese Kou in short combat, and the battle situation became stale, blood flowed all over the ground, severed limbs and stumps flew sideways, shouts of killing, and screams were mixed together, making this flesh and blood battlefield more and more tragic.

Guo Zhiyuan and others, who were standing on the cliff next to the port and watching the battle, seemed to be unable to do anything except urge the gunners to intensify the artillery bombardment, prevent the follow-up Japanese pirates from landing easily, and delay their reinforcements. Xu Guangqi kept his eyes wide open and nervously looked down at the situation on the battlefield below, but because of the distance, the new army and the pirates were entangled together, and he couldn't tell which side was his own side of the troops, seeing that the battle below was so tragic, his heart was pinched again, and he asked Guo Zhiyuan in front of him with some concern: "My lord, what about the 'secret weapon' you prepared?" Why don't you use it yet? There are so many Japanese people, I'm afraid that the New Army won't be able to resist it? ……”

Guo Zhiyuan just smiled slightly: "Sir, don't worry, I believe in the combat effectiveness of our New Army, now is not the time to use the 'secret weapon', Mr. just wait to see a good show!" ……”

Seeing Guo Zhiyuan's confident appearance, although Xu Guangqi didn't know what the 'secret weapon' he prepared was, he knew that Guo Zhiyuan had never fought unprepared battles, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Natsume Yoshiaki below is more and more frightened, he thought that with the strong combat power of the Dongying samurai, he should be able to easily win this battle, but the actual battle situation is completely different from what he expected, the self-proclaimed martial arts Dongying ronin can not play an advantage at all in the face of the dense gun formation of the New Army, and what makes him even more puzzled is that according to the intelligence of the inner line, the strength of his side should be much higher than that of the opponent, but he found that the surroundings seem to be full of the New Army, and a Dongying Samurai often has to face the thrust of three or four spears at the same time, No matter how superb the martial arts are, they can't show up in the hurry, is it because the information is wrong?

Of course, Natsume Yoshiaki didn't know the mystery was on the "piles" stacked with drummed sacks around, these "piles" seemed to be stacked in a disorderly manner, but in fact, they were carefully arranged by Shen Junrong in accordance with the "Eight Gates Golden Lock Array", the formation is very mysterious, but it is actually very simple to say that it is broken, that is, to use the preset bunker to cut the enemy army, so that its forces are scattered, and then concentrate the forces to form a local force advantage, and each one is broken!

Since the new army has to carry out formation drills every day, they can advance and retreat freely in the complex "Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation", but the Japanese are dizzy by the complex formation, and they only feel that there are new troops everywhere, which naturally produces the illusion that the opponent's forces are far more than their own, and the more they fight, the more cowardly they become, and ten percent of their combat power can only play five or six points.

Therefore, at this time, it seems that the battle between the two warring sides is fierce, but if you look closely, you will find that most of the people who screamed about death were people from the Japanese side, and most of the soldiers on the side of the New Army were able to withdraw smoothly with the cooperation of their comrades, even if they were wounded, and the battle loss ratio was significantly lower than that of the Japanese invaders.

Although Guo Zhiyuan said that he was full of confidence in front of Xu Guangqi, but in fact, his heart has always been carried, and the telescope has basically never left his eyes, always paying attention to the changes in the battlefield below.
