The Mandarin Duck Array is a kind of evacuated battle formation used by the Ming Dynasty army to fight against the Japanese invaders, which is the first initiative of the Jiajing Dynasty anti-Japanese heroes, the first of Tang Shunzhi in the military department, and the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang applied it to actual combat and carried it forward.

The standard formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation, which was improved by Qi Jiguang, was a team of twelve people, with two sword and shield players in front, the squad leader in the center, one wolf player on the left and right, four pikemen in the back, two palladium players in the back, and finally a musketeer.

At this time, Qi Changfeng only discharged a simplified mandarin duck array, and Xie Zhenggang used an arrow array to deal with it, that is, he was in the front, two people followed, and the last four people were in a row, forming an arrow, because there were too few people, the arrow part was also absent.

The two sides were about ten steps apart, and the formation was just lined up, and Qi Yuangong, who was not far away, immediately shouted: "Start." ”

The battle must be ruled, and the two sides naturally can't stand there and watch each other for a day, Qi Yuangong's words just fell, Xie Zhenggang and Qi Changfeng shouted almost at the same time: "Rush." The mandarin duck array and the arrow array hedged away.

The two formations approached quickly, and soon, Xie Zhenggang and the others entered the attack range of the wolf, Qi Changfeng gave an order, and the two wolf hands suddenly picked up the wolf and swept left and right vigorously, and Xie Zhenggang and the others suddenly danced in front of them.

Fortunately, this bamboo branch has not been sharpened and smeared with poison, otherwise, just this time, Xie Zhenggang and they would have suffered a big loss.

But at this time, they were not comfortable, not to mention that their vision was blocked by the bamboo branches, and the thin branches were quite painful, and they raised their waist knives almost at the same time and chopped wildly.

This bamboo branch has not been soaked in tung oil, the toughness is not very strong, seven people cut together, the thin branches on the wolf stalk were suddenly cut everywhere, with their speed, it will not take much time to cut the three or four meters long bamboo branches.

However, they were chopping bamboo branches, but two gun shadows suddenly appeared from behind the bamboo branches, "oops", and two people were suddenly stabbed hard.

This is good not to load the gun head, to load the gun head, these two people are afraid that they will be stabbed through, but this is a fair match, it is not interesting to play tricks, although the two people who were stabbed did not suffer any injuries, they still obediently withdrew from the array, which means that they have died.

This is just the beginning, under the cover of the wolf, the two spearmen attacked frequently, and soon Zhang Cha and the other six people were all stabbed out of the array, leaving only Xie Zhenggang alone to break through the obstruction of the wolf, and rushed to the team leader Qi Changfeng.

In terms of heads-up, Xie Zhenggang's kung fu should be similar to Qi Yuanfu's, it stands to reason that this Qi Changfeng can't go a few rounds under his hands, but this is a battle formation, and heads-up is obviously unrealistic.

Xie Zheng had just rushed up, when two iron forks suddenly stabbed from both sides, and he hurriedly waved his knife to block.

This fork is not so easy to deal with, he blocked it, the knife was also stuck, he didn't pull out the knife, and a knife shadow swept across his neck!

Fortunately, Qi Changfeng's subordinates were merciful, and did not touch his neck with the blade, but just swept it in front of his neck.

In less than a tea time, all seven people were "killed"!

Zhang Bin almost stared out of his eyes, it's over so simply, it's too fast, right?

He looked at Qi Yin in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.

Qi Yin smiled and said: "Actually, they shouldn't use the arrow array to concentrate the charge, it can be better to disperse with the straggler array, at least three people can rush to the middle, but it's useless, the real mandarin duck array, there is also a sword and shield hand in the middle to protect it, the wolf squirrel and the spearman are also equipped with short blades, and they rush over just to die." ”

If you rush over from all directions, the effect can indeed be better, because there are only two wolf stalks, and at most two directions can be taken into account, and people from other directions can still rush into the formation smoothly.

However, Zhang Bin was still full of shock, he understood that it was impossible to have only one mandarin duck array on the battlefield, rushing over in all directions, and facing at least a few mandarin duck arrays in each direction, the effect was actually the same.

This mandarin duck array is simply the nemesis of short weapons, no wonder the Japanese are vulnerable in front of the Qi family's army, there is a strange weapon like the wolf to block, the Oriental knife can't play any role at all, and the Qi family's army is not as simple as killing a chicken!

At this point, it was almost noon, and Qi Yin warmly greeted Zhang Bin and the others to eat together.

To say that the families of the soldiers of the Qi family are living a relatively prosperous life, although the court did not give them any additional rewards, it is impossible to rely on their first merits.

The five or six thousand people of the Qi family army have killed more than 100,000 enemies, and on average, each Qi family army soldier has killed at least twenty or thirty enemies, one enemy leader, and dozens of taels of silver, that is to say, each Qi family army soldier can earn thousands of taels of silver just by virtue of his first merit!

Not to mention Qi Jin and Qi Yin's brothers, they have killed at least hundreds of enemies, and the life of the family will naturally not be too bad.

Qi Yin ordered people to prepare the most military-specific dishes, which were stewed in a mess.

On the school grounds, a dozen or so large iron pots were set up almost in the blink of an eye, the firewood was burned below, a large pot of well water was put in the pot, and meat pieces, chicken pieces, salt, spices, and vegetarian dishes were thrown down in turn, and the whole school field soon wafted with an attractive fragrance.

The firewood gradually went out, Qi Yin beckoned everyone to come forward, there was no stool, everyone had a big bowl, holding long chopsticks cut out of bamboo in their hands, just standing and eating.

More than a dozen people gathered around a large pot of steaming stew, chopsticks flying, laughing loudly, wine bowls clattering, sweating on their faces, and eating heartily.

Although the Qi family army is strictly disciplined, it also attaches great importance to cultivating the feelings between the robes, a team, twelve people, a big iron pot, a big tent, eat together, sleep together, practice together, kill the enemy together, for a year, two years, even ten years, twenty years, they all live together like this, and the feelings between each other are simply closer than relatives.

Qi Yin and Zhang Bin's pot was originally twelve people, Qi Yin and the three brothers of the Qi family, plus Zhang Bin and Xie Zhenggang, they were exactly twelve, but Qi Fanghua insisted on sticking to Qi Yin's side, and Qi Yin didn't force him away.

After a few sips of rice wine, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, the captain of the Qi family's team began to take turns to come over to toast, Xie Zhenggang and they also began to take the wine bowl to salute one team after another, and the two groups soon became like a family.

At this time, Qi Yin's body was no longer rickety, maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe the atmosphere in the field reminded him of his military career when he was young, and his whole person changed.

At this time, he was full of red light, full of spirit, and talking, and he was still an old man in his last years, just like a veteran of the battlefield who had returned victoriously.

Zhang Bin deliberately flattered him with the strength of the wine: "Old General Qi, this Mandarin Duck Array is really extraordinary, these relatives under my command are also elite in the guard, and they didn't even survive a cup of tea in front of the Mandarin Duck Array!" ”

Qi Yin's expression soared and said: "They are not bad, thinking that at the beginning, the widows were in front of us, it was just like a local chicken and a dog, and they could be killed with a single face." ”
