For this decisive battle, the Manchus mobilized 50,000 troops, of which 20,000 were Manchu troops and the remaining 30,000 were Japanese coercive servants.

This is only the land part, on the other side of the sea, there are more than fifty sea ships, all of which are Zheng Zhilong's old team, real pirates in the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, now these pirates have become the Qing Navy, and the difference is not only the name, but also the number of Manchurian overseers on board.

Those who are dissatisfied with the Manchurians have already followed Zheng Chenggong to join the Ming Dynasty. The rest are either hindered by the past love and are not easy to betray Zheng Zhilong, or they are determined to fight a rich and noble battle with Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, the cohesion and morale of the remaining 50 sea ships are the highest.

"Father......" Zheng Chenggong looked at Zheng Zhilong on the other party's flagship with a telescope, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

"It's you...... It looks like he's actually a big official...... Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs! Zheng Zhilong also saw Zheng Chenggong, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. After all, who doesn't want his son's achievements to surpass him.

"Beat the flag and tell the other party to surrender immediately, Daming is willing to accept their surrender!" Zheng Chenggong saw his relatives in front of him and said to the deputy beside him.

"Silly boy, how can it be so easy...... One wrong step and one wrong step, even if I go back with you at this moment, I will not get the trust of Daming. Maybe it'll drag you down because of this! That's it, and I'll give you a great credit! Zheng Zhilong also saw the flag from the opposite side, and then muttered to himself.

Immediately, he turned around and said a few words to Zheng Zhihu beside him. Zheng Zhihu's eyes widened suddenly, staring at his eldest brother. It's just that in the end, he lowered his head helplessly, clenched his fists tightly, and looked helpless.

"I am the enemy today, and there is no longer any father-son relationship in the past!" This is the flag that was played back on Zheng Zhilong's flagship.

"Children are not filial!" Zheng Chenggong knelt on the flagship and kowtowed three times to Zheng Zhilong's side.

Standing up again, Zheng Chenggong is no longer the small leader of the Zheng family's pirate group in the past, but the real commander of the Ming Navy!

He knew that his father was unwilling to go back with him, so he could not continue wishful thinking. As Zheng Zhilong said, the two sides are now in a hostile relationship, and personal feelings or something should not be mixed into it.

"Fight!" Zheng Chenggong gave the order.

The two sides finally went to war, and this war gave people the impression that this was a battle that proved that the blue was better than the blue, or that the old father was still mighty.

The beginning of the naval battle was followed by the beating of the war drums of the land battle.

The Manchus retreated to the Korean Peninsula and Wajima, not without anything, at least they brought nearly 50,000 excellent horses over, and they also collected a lot of Wajima-made horses in Wajima, and tried to crossbreed them. Originally, hybrid cultivation required a process, but since the enemy had already killed him, there was no way to mobilize a group of horses on the Korean Peninsula, so he had no choice but to take out 30,000 war horses for combat use.

With 30,000 horses, 10,000 cavalry troops were actually formed. Of these, 5,000 were cavalry artillery units, and the other 5,000 were cavalry artillery units.

Not only that, according to the latest intelligence, the Manchu Qing troops, who arrived at the battlefield first, also arranged barbed wire on their headquarters positions, waiting for the Ming army to attack first. Even, behind the barbed wire, a trench was dug.

This tactic was not leaked by anyone, but by someone who became aware of it and put forward it since the barbed wire fence was put into use. After confirming the practicability, it was naturally applied to actual warfare. This is a reversal of the saying: any advanced tactics are invented because of the need for this.

From the arquebus era of queuing and shooting, to the rifled firebolt skirmisher assault, to the modern ditch, and modern small-scale local operations. The power of firearms is increasing, and the range of damage is also increasing, and the combat mode of gathering soldiers together to use it has to be abandoned as the power of firearms increases. Nowadays, many people have realized one thing: playing intensive combat on the battlefield is purely looking for death.

The Manchus mobilized 50,000 people, but except for 30,000 cannon fodder Japanese soldiers who attracted the opponent's firepower on the ground, the rest of the Manchus either rode around in the distance, or entered the trenches, carefully observing every move in the distance.

Lu Xiangsheng's formation is also famous, the name is the Scattered Star Array, which is a kind of formation between infantry and cavalry, simply put, it is to divide the soldiers into scattered stars, and there is a big gap between each soldier. In this way, the opponent can avoid the opponent from using the charge to affect all the soldiers in a straight line. You can even close in all directions, destroy the speed of the opponent's horses, and enter the right opportunity to give the opponent a shot or something.

Of course, at this moment, the scattered star array is not used to deal with horses, but to avoid the intensive use of the opponent's firearms and the bombardment of horse artillery.

"Haha, the other party actually dug a trench? If it's just barbed wire, it might give me a bit of a headache, but the trench or something, we can just restrain it! Tang Wang looked at the layout of the opponent's position and immediately smiled.

Without him, just because this time the only native artillery they brought was a mortar improved from the Tiger Squat Cannon.

Fired in an arc, directly bypassing the opponent's barbed wire and directly hitting the opponent's trench. In fact, in modern warfare, mortars began to be taken seriously, and it was only after this barbed wire tactic and trench tactics began to become popular.

"Be careful, the opposing cavalry seems to be charging!" Lu Xiangsheng always pays attention to every move on the battlefield, unlike Tang Wang, who only pays attention to a certain point.

"What's the point of being a mere cavalry? Lu Shuai, let's see how I broke them! But Man Gui immediately led 500 people from his headquarters to kill him. They are holding a long barrel like a mounted cannon, in fact, this thing is a cavalry cannon, but after the improvement of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, the zuò became something called a rifle cannon, which is actually closer to a stunned bazooka or something.

"Shoot!" Seeing that the two sides still had more than 300 meters left, Man Gui immediately gave the order to attack.

The five hundred foot soldiers quickly crouched down, aimed straight ahead, and fired all the ammunition in the rifle cannon.

Interestingly, it wasn't a flowering bomb or a realization bomb that was fired, but a whole bunch of thistles. After these thistles were launched, they flew nearly 100 meters before they landed, but they were densely spread in front of them.

"Stop, stop!" By the time the commander realized what it was, it was a little too late to give the order.

All the horses stepped on these thistles, and then fell to the ground one after another. Their fall led to more cavalry stumbling and falling to the ground, and the cavalry unit of thousands of men was destroyed at least nearly a thousand in an instant. But in general, there are still more injuries and fewer deaths.

"Shoot!" Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Man Gui immediately gave an order.

The soldier who originally went out to battle with an infantry cannon actually took a grenade from his waist and threw it out as soon as possible. Since these soldiers can handle infantry guns and can walk like flying, their body and wrist strength are naturally beyond doubt. Therefore, once this grenade is lost, it is at least seventy or eighty meters, and even hundreds of meters far away is not impossible.

Most of the grenades fell into the enemy positions, and the enemy troops, who had planned to go further or turn around, were immediately bombarded with a round of grenades.

When the smoke cleared, at least half of the thousands of men were left behind, and the rest also retreated, and at this moment they no longer had the ability to continue the attack.

"Hahaha, you know it's amazing, right?" Man Gui smiled proudly, and then ordered all the men and horses to withdraw to the headquarters.

"Well done!" In the face of such a record, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but praise it.

Not only Mangui, but the Japanese soldiers at the front had already begun to try to advance on all sides, they were coercive servants, so even if they knew that they would die, they had to advance, and if they did not advance, what awaited them was a punishment that was more severe than death. The Manchu artillery also began to make the final erection, but after calibration, the first round of firing would begin.

But isn't the Ming army also ready? Not only was Lu Xiangsheng ready to attack, but Tang Wang also began to command mortars and aimed at the opponent's position. It doesn't matter if you can't kill an enemy soldier, destroying the opponent's barbed wire is a great achievement!

Both sides have gone back and forth, and they have done everything they can, and it can be said that in this battle, the firearms command ability of both sides will be tested the most.

It's just that it's not that simple.

Perhaps inspired by the last surprise attack of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus actually trained a sniper unit. The firearms they wield may not be able to accurately kill the enemy from a distance of hundreds of meters, but they can already do it within 300 meters.

Their sniper unit, with the help of the cover of the battle, quietly went around the side of the Ming army, and was about to aim at Lu Xiangsheng for concentrated sniping. Yes, according to the aiming effect and the power of the firearm at this stage, it is possible to accurately shoot the enemy's key personnel only by concentrating firepower for sniping.

Naturally, they don't know how to calculate the trajectory, how to calculate the wind, they just use the accuracy of the bullets. Therefore, in order to achieve the maximum effect of sniping, they even ventured to within 200 meters, a distance that they would most likely be exposed. But at this stage, it seems that they are about to succeed!

And Man Gui, however, happened to see their existence at this moment.

Although he didn't know what kind of troops they were, he was sure that they were definitely not friendly forces! Moreover, the other party's target seems to be Lu Xiangsheng next to him!!

"Danger!" Man Gui slammed in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

......A series of firecrackers sounded, and at that moment it seemed that the heavens and the earth were still......
