Yang Chao heard the sound of birds in twos and threes, and his heart was greatly settled, at such a distance, as long as he could shoot at the captives, he would not be able to lose.

With the protection of a ship on his side, it is equivalent to a small city, and for the soldiers in iron armor, it is basically impossible to kill people unless the arrows of the captives can hit the front gate.

The only thing to worry about was the boatmen and gunners, but at this time they were lying on the deck one by one without showing their heads at all, so they didn't have to worry at all.

Sure enough, after Yang Chao saw that three dead horses and two corpses were left, a group of Yu Ding who rushed over first retreated, and retreated to meet the other group of armored soldiers who had just been killed.

The armoured soldiers numbered seven or eight people, but they drove hundreds of people.

There were about twenty people after the round of the armor soldiers and Yu Ding, and then they drove the people together, and they galloped back and forth behind the people, and at the same time shouted strange voices in their mouths to scare them, or instead of shooting arrows to kill one or two slow people, which made the people in front of them even more frightened, and ran forward as if they were desperate for their lives.

Yang Chao saw that the people had already run to his ship, and at this time, all the soldiers on the ship did not attack these people, and let the people rush towards their boat.

Finally the people reached the river, some plunged into the river, some wanted to stop being pushed into the river by the people behind, at this time the crowd was completely in a state of uncontrollable collapse, driven by fear, they only knew how to run, it seemed that only kept running, only when they felt that they were running, they knew that they were still alive.

"Ready!"

Yang Chao shouted and stood up, pulled out his waist knife with a loud voice, raised it high, and stared coldly at the captives who were driving out the people behind.

Ten bird-gunners also stood up, aiming their spears at the captives behind the people.

Close, close. Closer, a hundred steps, ninety steps. Eighty steps.

"Put!"

Yang Chao shouted, and his waist knife swung down hard. As if he could cut down the captives.

Then there was a row of gunshots, this time it was much more neat, in fact, the real salvo was the musketeer commanding the musketeers, only when everyone heard the gunfire of the leading officer, the others could follow and shoot, but unfortunately Yang Chao had not practiced the bird gun, and there was no suitable officer in the bird gun for the time being.

Ten rounds in unison. At a distance of eighty paces, on the basis of aiming for a long time, five captives were hit and rolled off their horses, and three captives were hit by their horses and fell.

Seven out of ten!

Judging from Qi Dashuai's standards, his bird gunners can be regarded as first-class, and they did not waste a lot of live-fire training in Huai'an.

Seeing the salvo from Yang Chao's side, suddenly several other ships began to fire fighting, and they thought of the situation in training, and they were not allowed to release their guns at will without an officer's order.

At this time, he had just entered eighty steps. The captives are about to start fighting back, and at this distance, their bows and arrows are powerful enough. But they still couldn't shoot through the iron armor, and to shoot through the iron armor, they had to shoot with a full bow within forty paces.

But the captives didn't expect that they had just entered eighty steps, and they were about to open their bows, when suddenly the other party let go of their guns, and knocked out seven of them at once, which made the captives startled, and one of the armored soldiers immediately ordered them to retreat. But it was too late.

At this time, they heard the ten ships in front of them, and there were shots on the left and right. And it's a very neat salvo, snap, snap.

The sound of birds is accompanied by the constant fall of the horses. Either the man was killed, or the horse was wounded, or the man and the horse were killed.

The armoured soldiers did not need Bashku's orders, and they all turned their horses' heads and fled desperately, but under the volley of scattered muskets, only three of them, seventeen or eighteen, lay on the dock.

The armoured soldiers fled from the horses, but did not leave Haizhou, but hid among the people who were driven by them in the warehouse area, as if they did not give up, thinking that as long as they stayed away from the ship, there would be no danger.

"Dock!"

Yang Chao ordered, and at the same time used the command flag to send orders to the other ships.

Yang Chao's boat moved first, and the other boats moved slowly, and the boatmen stabbed the bottom of the river with a pole and slowly pushed the boat to the shore.

It was only ten paces away, but it took a quarter of an hour for the ship to reach the shore.

When the side of the boat slightly hit the bluestone of the dock and made a slight vibration, Yang Chao jumped off the side of the ship in one step and landed on the dock, wearing more than 30 catties of iron armor.

"Cloth Mandarin Duck Array!"

One by one, the soldiers jumped down, and Yang Chao shouted loudly to set up the formation, to his own soldiers, and also to the soldiers of other ships, at this time, it was a little slow to use the command flag to give orders.

The mandarin duck formations were arranged one by one, and the captives over there never moved, but were slightly commotionous.

"Herald, take me as the center, all assemble!"

The usual strict pace training showed the effect at this time, all the soldiers just turned, the dense formation was not chaotic, and then walked towards Yang Chao's side, and when the position turned again, he immediately re-faced the captive soldiers, and did not give the captives a chance to sneak attack in the middle of the process.

The situation on Yang Chao's side made the captives on the opposite side tremble, because as soon as they fought just now, they lost more than ten warriors, and now there are only three people left, and they are three panicked defeated soldiers, it would be good to be able to muster up the courage to stay here, at this time, seeing the other party's neat queue, and the scene of changing formations and advancing, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, thinking that even the Manchurian Bayala elite soldiers who had fought a hundred battles did not have such a neat formation, and it was impossible not to mess up the formation in the march.

Yang Chao didn't know what the captives were thinking, he saw that all the soldiers on his side had finished arraying, and immediately ordered: "Advance together!" ”

Suddenly, all the soldiers stepped on the idea, and slowly advanced in a neat pace under the sound of the trumpets of each team, each line of soldiers was like a wall, and the whole array was like a small city, a moving small city.

Under the movement of the small city, almost the same steps step on the same rhythm, and together like a drum, the drumstick is the soldier's foot, and the drum surface is the whole earth.

Everyone heard it.

Yang Chao and his own soldiers heard the sound of this neat march, everyone was in the array, and they felt very steady in their hearts, and the sense of nervousness was swept away, leaving only the high-spirited momentum and the pride of having just defeated the captive soldiers.

And the captives over there saw this formation, and when they heard this step, they immediately felt nervous, and felt that the atmosphere was depressed, and that step was not like stepping on the ground, but stepping on their hearts, and every step was like beating their hearts.

The nervousness of the people even infected the war horses, and as Yang Chao's army formation got closer and closer, the war horses of the captives neighed uneasily.

Finally, when there were still a hundred paces between the two sides, the captives and the war horses could not hold on, and one of the three captives turned their horses and ran away, and the other two did not dare to stay at all, and immediately ran away.

Only a large group of people remained, completely stunned at this time, not knowing what was happening, not knowing whether it was good or bad, looking nervously at the military formation, looking at the military formation that stood a hundred paces away from them like a small city.

Yang Chao saw with his own eyes that the captives just now had run away, but he didn't dare to guarantee that there were no captives hiding.

"Wang Pu, mandarin duck formation, search to the right and advance!"

"Lots of men, search left!"

"Zhao Kang, lead people forward, be careful of sneak attacks!"

Yang Chao ordered one after another, Wang Pu and many men have strong command ability, the key is that the soldiers under these two people are not bad, and Zhao Kang is his own personal soldier, and the soldiers under him are all veterans who have seen blood, and there is no problem.

The three groups of soldiers set off immediately, moving forward in a mandarin duck formation, with shields in front and soldiers in the back, lined up in columns, with weapons facing both sides, like a long snake covered in thorns, constantly swimming forward.

The remaining soldiers continued to form a steady formation, and once again came to a close group, forming a steady formation.

The people were very nervous, and they panicked when they saw the soldiers coming, and the soldiers who had defeated the captives approaching them, but none of them dared to flee, and they were all frightened by the cruel captives, and they all stayed where they wept, and some of them wept quietly.

Between the people and Yang Chao's team, there was a row of dock buildings, and soon Wang Pu bypassed the building to the right, many men went to the left, and Zhao Kang went straight forward, all of them crossed the construction area, but they didn't see the captives, only the people, ignored the people After searching around, they stopped, lined up on standby, and shouted for safety.

Only then did Yang Chao feel relieved, convinced that he had repelled all the captives. (To be continued)
