Chapter 203: The Eight-Nation Alliance's Scourge of the Japanese Kingdom and the Black Ship Incident 8
Penglai, Shandong, according to legend, is a place where the gods haunt, however, compared with the ethereal immortals, the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the southeast coastal area, worship a military god called Qi Jiguang more. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And now, Che Yongzhang, who was also born in Penglai, Shandong, although he does not have the courage and resourcefulness of his fellow villagers, but in terms of weapon research and development, he is not willing to lag behind Qi Jiguang at all.
The wolf, as a weapon that has been tested on the battlefield for a long time, will naturally not escape the clutches of Che Yongzhang.
In order to ensure the practicality of this weapon on the battlefield, he did not rush to get on fire, he would only transform it, but instead distribute it to the soldiers in its original form.
However, those newly recruited regimental training are obviously not suitable for this kind of weapon. Compared to the bows and arrows that the hunters will have one or two, this weapon that should be called the "sword tree" is something that many people have never seen in their lives.
Therefore, this kind of weapon, which is relatively unfamiliar to the general public, was not mastered by them at the first time, so that in the later battles, there were few opportunities to appear, but this does not mean that this weapon cannot exert its power in hand-to-hand combat.
Its power, although it can only be revealed in hand-to-hand combat, is a kind of long weapon in itself, and the purpose of Yuanyuan is not only to protect Chiyou, a boring person, but all teammates, including the wielder.
When the warriors of the Wa Kingdom rushed forward, they were surprised to find that there seemed to be a big tree in front of them, and the head of the big tree was aimed at them, if it was a real big tree, it didn't matter, the sharp Japanese sword would cut off all the branches and leaves of that tree, however, the branches and leaves of the big tree were not made of wood, because they were sharp blades one after another.
No matter how sharp a sword is, it can't cut so many steel branches and leaves at once. Besides, if you sprint at this speed, I'm afraid you'll only have one chance to swing the blade, and you'll have to collide head-on with the Iron Sword Tree.
The samurai who rushed to the front had to slow down the speed of the sprint, however, he was sitting there after all, it was a military formation, and the overall speed was beyond his control, so soon, he felt the people behind him pushing him, and the sharp blades held by his teammates behind him were shaking to his left and right.
Suddenly, he felt that these blades seemed to be coming from the opposite tree, which made him feel more and more that the opposite tree was really dangerous and unapproachable, so the pace under his feet became even slower.
In this way, the teammates behind him were even more anxious, how could they be allowed to slow down on the way to charge!
So, the samurai at the front of the line were pushed down and rushed into the array of strange weapons, and although their swords were sharp enough, they could only deal with one or two blades, and then they didn't even have room to wield them.
Screams followed. It was only then that the teammates behind him realized that the samurai who was squeezed in front by them had lost his life. The strange weapon that took their lives has also appeared in front of them. I saw that the thing was waving from side to side, constantly threatening the lives of the teammates around it.
And every discoverer, without exception, is in the range of being threatened by this strange weapon. But what they could do was to be pushed by others like the samurai in front of them who had just fallen, enter the range of the strange weapon, and then lose their lives.
Such a vicious circle, which ran several times over and over again, made the samurai of the Japanese kingdom who launched this charge close to total loss. Today's lives, there are countless stories, and they can go forward and follow each other until they use the wheel war to exhaust the opponent's physical strength. However, the other party is not unprepared, don't forget that the teammates they said were covering were the crossbowmen one by one.
The samurai, who were about to charge again, suddenly noticed that behind the crossbowmen, a group of men with large swords appeared.
Those people had knotted muscles, and they seemed to know that they were martial arts practitioners, and they were far from the recruits they faced when they were in close contact just now.
These people, in fact, are not Corning's deployment. I feel that I have seen a similar formation, the formation called the Mandarin Duck Formation, which once made the Japanese invaders in the southeast frightened, but unexpectedly appeared on the Japanese mainland recently, which is really a great irony.
And these people are also people who bear the hatred of the country and the family, their Ryukyu Kingdom was directly attacked by the Japanese army, and their king, who had also become a captive, knew that Huang Yubin appeared, organized them, made an oath to take revenge, and then hired a famous teacher from the Central Plains to guide them in the art of battle formation. Among them, it naturally includes the famous Mandarin Duck Formation in the Central Plains.
And this time, as the subordinates of the pirate leader Yan Siqi, they participated in the landing battle with Kang Ning. Kangning, who was not fully prepared immediately, Boss Huang's Marine Corps far surpassed the other party in terms of combat ability.
In the era of cold weapons, in the case of similar equipment and numbers, it is naturally the side with a long training time, which is far better than the eggs of new soldiers.
And this time, in terms of equipment, they are better than the enemy, and in terms of numbers, they also have an advantage. The only thing that is lacking is that there is an indispensable link missing in this mandarin duck array.
The wolf, as a bulky long weapon, wields it, not only has a slow rhythm, but also has a big flaw, which is easy to be caught by the opponent and cause damage to the holder.
Such a set of formations was originally a formation that complemented each other and entrusted one's life to the protection of one's teammates. If it were not for a long time, it would be difficult for a well-disciplined army to fully exert its might.
Kangning's deployment can only put out the appearance of this formation, and it is far from comprehending the essence of this formation, and this time, the reason why he was able to make a small gain on the battlefield is because the opponent is defenseless.
Speaking of which, they originally had a chance, however, they did not discover the defects of the opponent's formation at the first time, and brought it to the commander without noticing that at that time, the warriors from the Ryukyus had already made up for it.
Only then did Bai Qi slowly realize the power of this set of formations, the reason why Qi Jiguang was invincible and made great contributions in the southeast was not because of this strange weapon, but because of a complete set of formations including this weapon.
Unexpectedly, the infantry weapon has evolved into this way after more than 1,800 years, but he has already understood the gist of this formation. As a son of the Qin State, in the area of strict military law, he can do more than Qi Jiguang.
He believed that as long as he was given time, he could bring this set of formations into full play.
But for now, the elimination of the enemy on the opposite side is the top priority.
