The iron tower was eager to be able to fight, but Sakata's response hit his heart, and he immediately couldn't say anything, laughed for a long time, clenched the iron rod in his hand, and shouted: "Toast if you don't drink and drink the penalty wine!" ”

As soon as he left, the infantry in the rear, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately marched forward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThere is a square team for every 100 people, and there are 10 square teams for 1,000 people.

Under the command of Li Chengke, ten squares marched forward with muskets held high and marched in neat steps. Those who were able to enter the musket corps were veterans, and no one would be afraid, following the usual drills and marching with firm steps.

The strict discipline of the Yejiabao Musketeers undoubtedly gave Sakata another blow to the head. Once again, he refreshed his understanding of Yejiabao's army, and Douda's cold sweat quietly climbed on his forehead.

Sakata did not hesitate for a day, immediately turned his horse and ran back to the Chinese army, and ordered the battle.

The 2,000 musketeers of the Japanese immediately poured out of the barracks, and under the cheers of the leaders of the various detachments, they quickly lined up in a column to form a confrontation with the musketeers of Yejiabao.

The two armies faced each other, and the neat ranks, neat steps, and loud trumpets of the Yejiabao musket army were obviously higher than the two thousand musket troops who were still in a scattered state.

Before he started fighting, he saw that his camp began to be unstable, not only that, but neither the momentum nor the morale were obviously inferior to the musket army in Yejiabao.

Sakata Ichi, who was hiding behind and watching, had already expected the outcome of his army at this moment. If he raises his morale before the battle, he will definitely lose the battle.

Sakata was still anxiously thinking about how to deal with it, and the three hundred cavalry of the tower were not idle. The cavalry, which had been divided into two lines, suddenly urged their horses to gallop and circled around the two thousand musketeers of the Japanese at a stone's throw away.

And in the process of turning, from time to time, you can always see a cavalry suddenly approaching the musketeers, and then quickly release cold arrows, regardless of whether they hurt anyone, and then quickly run away.

It didn't take long for the harassment to pay off. The musketeers of the Japanese invaders not only had to face the threat of the imposing musketeers of Yejiabao, but also faced the constant harassment of the 300 cavalry of the Iron Tower, and soon the soldiers on the periphery suffered casualties.

The casualties did not cause much uproar at first, but as the cavalry led by the tower intensified the attack, the musketeers of the Woko immediately began to stir up uncontrollably.

Although the captains of those squads tried their best to restrain the musketeers to stabilize, in the face of more and more cold arrows, and more and more of their companions fell to the ground and died, those squad leaders began to be unable to restrain them.

Li Chengke had been paying attention to the movements of the tower, and at this moment, when there was a commotion in the Japanese musket army, he no longer hesitated and shouted: "The first column kills!" ”

"Kill ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The muskets rang out at almost the same time, and their sound resounded throughout the valley like cannons.

As soon as the men of the first column opened fire, they stopped and stood still. At this time, Li Chengke waved the small flag in his hand again and shouted: "The second column kills!" ”

The second column immediately stepped forward, passed the teammates in front, and as soon as the gun was raised, it was not even necessary to aim, and the gun was fired directly.

"Third column kill!"

"Fourth column kill!"

With every shout from Li Chengke, the gunshots began to sound non-stop. In this cycle, there is almost no interruption in the sound of gunfire.

After the first gunshot was fired, the Japanese army was completely out of proportion. At first, the distance between the two sides was relatively far, and the lethality of the muskets was limited, but with the continuous advancement of the Yejiabao musket army, the casualties of the Japanese musket army began to increase.

Fortunately, the Japanese musketeers were not straw bales, and under the supervision of the captains of those squads, they soon began to counterattack. The scattered gunfire became more and more intense, which made the musketeers in Yejiabao also begin to suffer casualties.

Although the Japanese musketeers began an effective counterattack, there were more than half of the people on the side of the Japanese than Yejiabao, but when the real fight started, it was the Japanese side that showed weakness.

Seeing that his own casualties were getting more and more serious, Sakata was even more impatient, and in a hurry, he simply asked his subordinates to drive all the Qing civilians who were originally auxiliary troops out of the barracks, and braved the rain of bullets and bullets in Yejiabao to stand in front of the Japanese musket army.

Sakata's thoughts are obvious, and he just wants to preserve the strength of the Japanese musket army. He didn't care about the life and death of these Qing people who were incorporated by him.

His methods did have obvious results, but the people of the Qing Dynasty were not stunned and let others slaughter them. Soon they began to scatter and flee.

In this way, the battlefield was suddenly chaotic, and it directly blocked the advance of the Yejiabao Musket Army.

looked like he was about to win, but he never thought that this innocent people would join in, which disrupted Li Chengke's original plan and stopped the pace of Yejiabao's musketeer army.

Li Chengke was so angry that he yelled, and in order to prevent the Qing people from rushing around to disperse his team, Li Chengke had to grit his teeth and order.

"Listen, everyone, put away the guns and knives, and whoever dares to rush in front of you will be killed by Lao Tzu!"

"Kill!"

Ordering the marching troops, the Yejiabao musketeers shouted in unison, and immediately put sharp knives on the muzzle of the guns, and all those who dared to approach were stabbed to death.

The tower's 300 cavalry, at the beginning of the chaos, seized the opportunity to ride their horses and slaughter the musketeers of the pirates. The advantage of the cavalry was on full play at this moment, and the horses rushed straight into the chaotic crowd with the speed of a sprint.

Those who didn't have time to run away were all knocked away, and the iron tower was particularly fierce, and the iron rod in his hand could bring up a bloody flower every time he swept away.

The three hundred cavalry sprinted back and forth, and in a few moments they split the musketeers into scattered squares. Barely able to resist, he was slaughtered by three hundred cavalry.

At this point, the defeat of the Japanese is a foregone conclusion, and on the gatehouse of Yejiabao, Ye Shaolong has been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield. At this time, it was really unexpected to see that the Japanese were so vulnerable.

But in addition to being pleasantly surprised, he did not relax in the slightest, and immediately ordered the whole army of Yejiabao to attack, and he even personally mounted his horse and led the army to kill him.

Yejiabao still has a full 5,000 men and horses waiting, but it is a pity that 2,000 people were transferred to protect the fields, but even if Yejiabao has 2,000 fewer men and horses, there will be more than 1,500, which is enough to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese who are showing signs of defeat.

The sergeant in the melee in Yejiabao saw Ye Shaolong personally leading the army to kill, his morale rose to the highest point for a while, and the sound of killing was shocking.
