Volume 1 Chapter 116 This is a fortune
The combination of this shield and elongated weapon was designed by Yang Cong according to Qi Jiajun's Mandarin Duck Array prompt Yu Dayou, and it did have a strong restraint effect on the Japanese who were mostly short blades in their hands.
However, this simplified Mandarin Duck Array does not have long-range support with muskets, nor does it have the kind of weapons that are enough to make it difficult for the Wolves to advance an inch, so there is no overwhelming restraint effect on the Wolves that the real Mandarin Duck Array has.
In fact, there are a total of five groups of people in this direction, and the total number of spears is twenty-five, although the pikemen are standing behind the shield and desperately stabbing hard, but the effect is still far worse than that of the wolf's weapon with large area damage.
Kojiro Harada quickly spotted the flaw, and he quickly swept away a spear, and with a shout, he led the charge towards the shield in front of him.
He wanted to go up and knock the shield player over directly, or the hit shield player stepped aside and opened a gap in the shield array.
Unfortunately, he had just turned sideways and tried to hit the shield, when two harpoons suddenly came out from behind the shield, and that guy, if he hadn't dodged quickly, would have almost become a dead fish on the harpoon.
He had barely dodged the harpoon, and before he could catch his breath, two more long sticks suddenly came out from behind the shield and swept him at both feet.
Now, he finally got hit, because the long stick was swept from both sides, and he couldn't dodge at all, and he could only block one side.
"Poof", with a muffled sound, Harada Kojiro only felt that his left leg was almost swept off by the long stick, and he hurriedly clicked his right foot on the ground, and quickly jumped out of the attack range of the spear, long stick and harpoon.
This formation is even more difficult to break than the turtle formation!
Harada Kojiro quickly swept around, fortunately, the Ming army's formation is mainly defensive, as long as it doesn't rush up, it's nothing.
He thought about it for a while, and simply waved his hand: "Stay up." ”
With that, he took the lead and rushed to the left.
This shield array can't rush through, it's a big deal, there's no need to fight with the Ming army here.
It's a pity that it's too late again.
At this time, a bunch of Ming troops also silently rushed out on the left and right, and the retreat on both sides of them was also blocked.
Looking at the shield array that quickly formed a semicircle, Harada Kojiro was really a little dumbfounded, these Ming troops were clearly squeezing them in the direction of the city wall!
Can you go over the city wall?
What a joke, there are archers on the walls, and they almost got hit.
At this time, if you retreat, you have to guard against the spears below, and you have to put the arrows above, how can you prevent it?
There was no way, he could only rush left and right with the ronin under his men, hoping to break out of a gap.
It's a pity that their swords are too short to reach people, and even if they rush to the shield, there are countless long sticks and harpoons waiting there, and if they are not careful, they will be caught by harpoons, and if they don't let go, there will be a few more transparent holes on their bodies.
He rushed a few waves with his ronin, but he couldn't rush out at all, but was surrounded by the Ming army.
In the face of this thorny turtle formation, he really had no way at all, and the Ming army didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he relied on the protection of the shield and slowly squeezed into the middle, squeezing their activity space smaller and smaller.
In desperation, he could only risk being stabbed into a hornet's nest and cut off a few spears, but at this time, the number of spears in the Ming army was seventy or eighty, more than double the number of them, and cutting a few would be useless.
In the end, he could only desperately wave the sword in his hand, sweeping away the denser and denser spears to ensure that he was not stabbed, and the ronins under his command were not as good as him, and in less than two quarters of an hour, thirty ronins and a guide were all stabbed to the ground, and he was the only one left in the field who was still resisting stubbornly.
Fortunately, the Ming army seems to have picked up a three-way attack, although everyone was stabbed over, but no one was stabbed to death, and all the ronins were just pierced with a few holes in their legs, and they fell to the ground and wailed.
At this time, Yu Dayou had already taken Yang Cong and others down from the city wall, and the city gate had already been opened. ”
Then he picked up the iron long stick and rushed up.
Harada Kojiro had already been stabbed into despair by the guns of the Ming army, and at this time he saw a person dressed as a general of the Ming army rushing up, as if he wanted to fight him alone, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Hello, it's good to go alone." ”
Talking about your horse's ga, Yu Dayou didn't talk to him, and he smashed it down with a stick.
This black Harada Kojiro didn't know that Yu Dayou's hand was a fine iron long stick, he only regarded it as a relatively strong wooden stick, and, judging from Yu Dayou's stick speed, this was definitely a master, if he dodged, he would definitely lose the opportunity, so he chose to raise the sword to block Yu Dayou's long stick.
With a crisp sound, the knife in his hand was directly smashed in two by the fine iron long stick, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank to the side, and then he was able to avoid the long stick.
Before he could understand what was going on, there was a "click", and there was a sudden sharp pain in his right leg, and then he was swept to the ground by Yu Dayou's stick, and his right leg became like nunchucks, and the lower half was connected to the upper half of the flesh, and the bones in the middle were broken into slag.
"Ahh , he couldn't help but scream, and then he hugged his right leg and flipped it on the ground.
Yu Dayou looked at the wolverines rolling all over the ground, and couldn't help pouting: "The wolkes are nothing more than that, they are all tied up, and the injured ones are wrapped up with some medicine." ”
Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Zhifu, why didn't any of these widows die?" ”
Yu Dayou said with a little excitement: "Of course you can't let them hang up, these are all rewards, one hundred taels of silver, more than thirty is more than three thousand taels, this is a fortune." ”
The Ming Dynasty had a military merit reward, Yang Cong knew that in order to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, generally killed or captured the enemy had a corresponding reward of silver, at the beginning of the reward was still ten taels, however, to the back of the Ming army's combat effectiveness is getting worse and worse, killing the enemy is getting less and less, this reward silver slowly rose to fifty taels or even one hundred taels.
The Japanese are considered to be the most powerful type of foreign enemies in the Ming Dynasty at this time, so the reward is one hundred taels of silver.
However, this military merit reward seems to be whether it is dead or alive, Yang Cong is still curious: "Why do you want to catch the living, the dead seem to be the same, right?" ”
Yu Dayou shook his head again and again and said: "It's different, these years, there are many people who take the lead to lead the army, generally whether it is a pirate or a pirate, the officers and soldiers will dress up their heads as if they are pirates, after the imperial court has investigated and dealt with it several times, this head is not divided into pirates and pirates, the first level is counted as pirates, fifty taels, and only the living pirates are counted as one hundred and twenty-one." ”
It turns out that this is the case, Yang Cong has really never heard of this, it seems that this Yu Dayou's head is still quite flexible, but he is too sincere, otherwise it is impossible to be bullied by those civil officials repeatedly.
