Volume 3 Chapter 100 The Beginning of the Dawn
Qi Jingtong looked at the frantically approaching Japanese robbers, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper and deeper, originally he thought that muskets and artillery would have a certain deterrent effect on the Japanese invaders, but he never thought that these wouldn't be afraid of muskets and artillery at all.
At this time, the enemy has rushed to a position less than 100 steps away from the Mandarin Duck Formation, and many Japanese Guards have begun to release arrows, but fortunately, although the formation change of these guards is still a little rusty, the basic defensive formation is still very good, and the shield wall composed of more than 200 groups of Mandarin Duck Formations has almost blocked all the arrows, and the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion can still fire in the gap between the shield walls.
After three rounds of guns, nearly 2,000 people had fallen in the front row of the Japanese Invaders, but all the Japanese Invaders were still charging frantically, and seeing that they were about to rush to the front of the Mandarin Duck Formation, Qi Jingtong had to order: "Order, the Shenji Battalion throws thunder, and then retreats, and the Mandarin Duck Formation, ready to attack." ”
As he gave an order, thousands of thunderbolts smashed into the scattered lineup of the Japanese Invaders, and there was a burst of "Boom Boom", and the screams of ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded in the Wolves.
The effect of this small thunderbolt was even better than that of muskets and artillery, and the front of the Japanese was visibly stunned by this bombardment, and at least two or three thousand people fell to the ground and howled in pain.
Qi Jingtong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
What's going on, the thunderbolt doesn't have this effect when dealing with the Tartar cavalry, the giant thunderbolt is better, the small thunderbolt is basically tickling the Tartar cavalry, people don't take it seriously, why is the effect surprisingly good when it is used on the Woko?
He took a closer look at the wakes and suddenly understood in his heart.
It turned out that most of these would-be robbers were dressed in cloth clothes, and because of the hot weather in the south, many of them wore undershirts, which had almost no defensive effect against the iron needles scattered after the thunder explosion.
Such a good opportunity could not be missed, Qi Jingtong immediately ordered: "Order, the Shenji Battalion throws another round of thunder, and then retreats." ”
It seems that he is a little late in giving this order, because the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have already begun to retreat, but fortunately, the thunder does not need to be loaded with ammunition or anything, as long as it is lit on fire and thrown hard.
Soon, thousands of thunderbolts smashed into the Wakos, and almost all of the Wako's front formation turned into rolling gourds.
It's a pity that this group of pirates is too fierce, even if five or six thousand people fall, they still don't show the slightest expression of fear, and they know that they rush forward frantically.
Qi Jingtong saw that the Japanese striker was already approaching the mandarin duck formation, so he could only reluctantly order: "Out of the wolf, sweep, spear, stab." ”
This is also the most basic defensive action of the Mandarin Duck Array, that is, the wolf hand keeps waving the wolf in his hand to disrupt the enemy's sight, and the spearman waits for the opportunity to stab the enemy's vital point.
Would such a simple move have any effect?
There should be, after all, the Japanese are mainly broken weapons, and they will suffer in the face of a one-foot long wolf and spear.
However, Qi Jingtong didn't think that this move could withstand the enemy's crazy attack, because there were too many enemies, and the enemy in the southeast direction was almost ten times more than the guards in the Mandarin Duck array, and he didn't dare to let the guards in the northeast and southwest directions support, because the enemy was running all over the mountains, and the other two directions were also attacked by the Japanese invaders.
Looking at the swarming Japanese robbers, he couldn't help but clench the big knife in his hand, he was ready to fight desperately.
Can more than 2,000 guards block the attack of more than 20,000 pirates?
Before this battle, everyone must have thought that more than 2,000 guards were going to resist more than 20,000 Japanese guards, but in this battle, a miracle happened, more than 20,000 Japanese guards rushed to the front of the mandarin duck formation composed of more than 2,000 guards, and they couldn't even move an inch!
Qi Jingtong couldn't believe his eyes, is this still called a battle?
This is a one-sided slaughter!
He really didn't expect that the legendary fierce and vicious would-be so vulnerable, they were like moving targets in vain in front of the mandarin duck array, and then they were stabbed to the ground by spears one by one, and they had no power to fight back at all!
This guy, although it is said that "one inch is long and one inch is strong", but the advantage of the weapon can not form a one-sided situation, if this is the case, then no matter which dynasty, will definitely choose the spear as the main station weapon, and the longer the better, one zhang long, or even two zhang long, as long as the foot pawn can dance.
Question, no dynasty had an army that was pure pikemen.
This proves that long weapons are not invincible, and short weapons are also useful in battle, but the legend says that the fierce gods and evil gods have no power to fight back in the face of the mandarin duck array dominated by long weapons, what is going on?
At this time, the Japanese who rushed up almost wanted to cry, and they didn't know what was going on, and as soon as they rushed up, countless bamboo branches appeared in front of them, just like a dense bamboo forest, and these bamboo branches would move, sweeping over and over, so that they couldn't see anything, and there were bamboo branches in front of them.
What's even more terrifying is that these bamboo branches also have sharp spikes on them, this guy, if he is swept away, he will be scraped out at least a few holes on his body, and the pain is to death, and these bamboo branches are not ordinary bamboo branches.
This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that from time to time a spear head will be poked out of the bamboo branch, and the speed is extremely fast, which is impossible to guard.
Of course, there are not no masters in the Japanese robbers, some of the Japanese can also split the bamboo branches, rush to the mandarin duck array, it's a pity, there are harpoon-like things in front, no matter how sharp the knife is cut up, it will be hinged as soon as the knife is cut up, and the knife will be hinged away if you are not careful, and once the knife is hinged, countless spear heads will be stabbed out behind the harpoon, if you dodge slowly, you will be stabbed into a blood gourd immediately.
Therefore, no matter how high the skill is, it is useless in this kind of melee, the more fierce the charge, the faster the death.
To tell the truth, even the pirates and pirates didn't expect them to be like this, you know, in the past, when they faced the guards, they were basically one-sided slaughters, not the guards slaughtered them, but they slaughtered the guards, and they even conquered the acropolis where the guards were stationed, let alone the guards they met in the wild.
Almost everyone in this battle was inexplicable, not to mention the Japanese invaders, even the guards in the Mandarin Duck Formation were inexplicable.
At first, they were really frightened when they saw the Japanese robbers rushing over the mountains, and if it weren't for the Governor and a group of brocade guards behind them, it is estimated that many people would have spread their feet and fled.
There are so many pirates, how can you fight?
When the pirates rushed to the front, many of them were still trembling, but as soon as they engaged, they stopped shaking, because the pirates couldn't rush at all, and they could only be shot outside!
This inexplicable battle lasted less than half an hour, and the Japanese finally couldn't stand it, they were not afraid of death, but they still wouldn't do it when it was clear that they were sent to death.
The so-called "defeat is like a mountain", this one person takes the lead, and someone will immediately follow suit, and soon, the remaining Japanese robbers will retreat like a tide.
