There is no shortage of martyrs and traitors in every nation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As soon as the traitor Watanabe Village got Chen Di's 1,000 taels of silver tickets, it can be said that he knows everything and says everything.

In the big tent of the Flying Tiger Army, Chen Di, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou sat side by side, listening to Watanabe Muraichi explain the composition of Inoue Shishiro's army.

Watanabe Village began to talk eloquently: "The 10,000 troops brought by Inoue Shiro this time are divided into pike, infantry, iron artillery, and archery.

The Lance Foot Light Brigade numbered about 4,000 people. They are made up of farmers that we have recruited in the country. Armed with a spear, without armor. They mainly fought with infantry units. ”

Chen Di thought to himself, this spear should be regarded as a cannon fodder and chicken rib army.

Watanabe Murakazu said, "The infantry corps, with 2,000 men, is the main force of this army. Most of them were samurai from their own country. The knife skills are top-notch, and the combat is brave.

The archery corps consisted of two thousand people and was armed with bows and arrows. The iron artillery corps had another two thousand men, all armed with iron cannons. ”

Chen Di knew that the "iron cannon" mentioned by the Japanese was a firecracker.

Hearing Watanabe Muraichi say this, Chen Di's heart sank. The Japanese have a firearm force of 2,000 men, which is a great disadvantage!

Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi: "The iron cannon he said is the fire gun. ”

Tang Shunzhi asked Watanabe Muruichi: "How far can your fire guns shoot?" ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "The iron cannon can shoot sixty paces." ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded and said to himself: "In this way, the range of the firearm is about the same as ours. ”

Chen Di said to Watanabe Muruichi, tell me how they fought?

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "The iron artillery team and the archery team will attack the enemy first by firing cannons and arrows. After the attack of the iron artillery team and the archery team, the spear ashigaru made the vanguard attack. The infantry followed with shields in hand. When they get close to the enemy, the infantry will lower their shields and engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. ”

Chen Di suddenly thought that it was recorded in the history books that the iron artillery team of the Japanese State during the Warring States Period used three-stage shooting tactics, that is, the three-stage shooting method that Chen Di had just taught the Flying Tiger Army.

Chen Di asked Watanabe Muruichi: "Did the iron artillery team shoot with a three-stage shot?" ”

Muraichi Watanabe replied, "Of course! The iron artillery units of each of the country's feudal domains all use the method of three-stage firing! ”

Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi: "It seems that both the number of Japanese and the number of firecrackers are superior to ours. ”

Tang Shunzhi smiled knowingly at Chen Di: "However, we have the Eight Formations of the Iron Bucket King." ”

Chen Di said: "Yes, this is our advantage. ”

Chen Di asked Watanabe Muraichi again: "Are you equipped with artillery?" Oh, that's what you Japanese people call 'big tubes'."

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "Inoue Shishiro's big barrel was all aided by the lord of the Mosa Domain. The landing did not carry a large cylinder. ”

This news made Chen Di excited. Artillery has been the god of war since its birth. The Flying Tiger Army has twelve Furlong cannons plus a Shenwu General Cannon, which can make full use of these guns to suppress the fire of the Woko! ”

Chen Di asked Watanabe Muruichi: "Where are Inoue Shishiro and his 10,000 Japanese invaders now?" ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "They are now stationed fifteen miles from the town of Beipo. I have an agreement with him. If the night attack fails, they will arrive at the town of North Slope tomorrow at noon and launch an attack on you. ”

Chen Di nodded: "Watanabe-kun, you go down and rest first." ”

After Watanabe Village left, Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang: "It seems that this battle is not as easy to fight as the battle in Haichenggang. ”

Yu Dayou said: "It's all two shoulders against one head, I'm afraid of his ball!" ”

Qi Jiguang also said: "Behind us is Taizhou City!" We must not allow this group of pirates to enter Taizhou City and harm our people. ”

Chen Di nodded: "The two brothers said well! However, strategically you can despise the enemy, but tactically you need to pay attention to the enemy. ”

Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were confused when they heard it.

Tang Shunzhi understood what Chen Di meant, and explained: "What Lord Chen means is that we can't underestimate the enemy!" ”

Chen Di nodded: "As soon as Watanabe Village said just now, before the Japanese invade, they will attack our army with firearms and bows and arrows. The range of the musket and the bow and arrow is definitely not equal to that of our Furlong cannons. The Fran cannon can dominate the enemy and suppress their iron artillery and archery teams. ”

Tang Shunzhi: "This is nature. However, the opposing team's firecrackers and archers combined numbered 4,000 men. Didn't you order, my lord, to send out six furlong cannons to reload and attack the opposing infantry? The Furlong cannon is scattered, and the firing range can't catch up with the gun! As a result, there are only six Fran cannons left to attack the opposing gunners and archers. This kind of firepower is limited! ”

Chen Di said: "I didn't expect the other side to have so many long-range attack troops before. I now order that the twelve Furlong cannons, all loaded with sub-guns, be placed on the hillside to the south! ”

Tang Shun's way: "The way of the art of war should change with the times and the situation." Lord Chen, you are right to do this. ”

Chen Di said again: "The Japanese ashigaru team, to put it bluntly, is to block their infantry team!" My fear now is that once our Furlong cannons are fully utilized, Inoue Shishiro will send his Ashigaru team to desperately attack our artillery positions on the southern slopes. Since our firecrackers are numerically inferior to the Wokos, don't shoot them on the flat ground! All arranged on the southern slope. That way, even if the musketeers of the Wako and their spears ashigaru besiege the hillside on that side, we will still have an advantage in our position! Condescendingly, the range of our firecrackers can be greatly increased, but the range of the firearms of the Japanese firecrackers will be greatly reduced! ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "Lord Chen is wise. The shields of our Bucket Kings have been improved to withstand the firing of firearms and arrows. As long as the Eight Bucket Kings can go hand-to-hand with their infantry, we will be able to win! ”

Chen Di said: "There is a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us. Don't expect to be able to wipe out this group of pirates like the Battle of Haicheng Harbor. As long as this group of pirates can be forced back to the sea and Taizhou City is saved, it will be a big victory! ”

Chen Di has more than four million silver in his hand, and it is only a matter of time before the Flying Tiger Army is expanded on a large scale and a large number of firearms and equipment are improved. What he hopes now is to let Inoue Shishiro know the strength of the Flying Tiger Army, so that he will not dare to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang at will in a short period of time.

Inoue Shishiro once told Chen Di that half a year later, he would gather 100,000 Japanese pirates with Koizumi and Dog Livestock Road to attack Zhejiang. If there is no harassment by the Japanese in this half a year, Chen Di will free up his hands to establish a large and powerful new army to fight to the death against Inoue Shishiro and other Japanese robbers.

The premise is to win the current battle first, so that he can get half a year to calmly expand the army.
