Another point is that the other soldiers in the phalanx are all armed with iron cannons, but these cannons look much thicker and longer than their own soldiers. But what made him strange was that these firecrackers didn't have the old firestrings on them, so didn't their firecrackers need to be lit with open flames?

The soldiers who landed later were different from the previous ones, and all the people who came down this time were soldiers armed with iron cannons. However, they were unarmoured, and there were no pikemen around them. The soldiers, under the guidance of their officers, laid out two more phalanxes on the flanks of the two phalanxes. It seems to be shielded from the flanks. If Shimazu Yoshihisa had been in contact with the navy, he would have known that the soldiers of these two phalanxes were the marines accompanying the ship.

The men who came down afterwards knew that they were the sailors of the ships, and they gathered together and barely formed two phalanxes on the inner side of the marines. However, these sailors were armed with short weapons, and it seemed that they were also prepared for battle. Look at the book

Those who come down later will be unsightly! These people are the pirates led by the pirate leaders, they are all gathered together in a disorderly manner, with no formation or discipline, but they are all armed with swords and axes, and their faces are hideous, and they seem to have the strength to fight!

Seeing that the opponent's formation was gradually taking shape, Shimazu Yoshihisa, who was sitting firmly under the horse seal, began to mobilize people from all walks of life. He ordered a dozen large and small phalanxes to start slowly retreating, retreating, and then arranging a rough array of sharp arrows. He didn't want to fight under the enemy's fire, so he stepped back to lure the other party closer.

Liu Haojia at the bow of the ship put down the binoculars, and he nodded secretly in his heart when he saw Shimazu Yoshihisa so arranged. Knowing that this person was indeed a soldier, he had no intention of attacking on both flanks at all. This made full use of his strength advantage.

Moreover, the place where Liu Haojia is located is the seaside, and the land on both sides is soft, if soldiers are used on both sides, the soldiers can only be targets under long-range strikes. So it's better to put on a sharp arrow formation and break through directly from the center.

But that's exactly what Liu Haojia thinks. His expedition to make a fortune in this expedition was only one aspect, but more because he wanted to use the Japanese to test the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers!

After all, now that the Ming Dynasty is in peacetime, it is simply overkill to dispatch troops to fight thieves, and it will not play a role in military training. If it is out of the plug, the civil officials will not be able to say it. Even if he goes out, in the face of *** who comes and goes like the wind, it is not to say whether the recruits under his command can win, it is difficult to say whether they can stabilize or not!

So Liu Haojia simply took the Japanese to try the knife! If they succeed, these more than 1,000 people will return to the Wu'an army, and the experience will be passed on, and they will also become the backbone of the army. If you keep up with *** in the future, these backbones will have a big effect!

Seeing that the formation was almost arranged, Liu Haojia got off the boat and came to the back of the formation. His soldiers had erected a simple platform, far away from Shimazu Yoshihisa's horse seal in the distance.

After a while, the officers reported that they were ready, and Liu Haojia gave the order to wave the flag. After an order was given, the nine phalanxes in front of them took the lead in activating and slowly approaching each other. Then the third platoon of marines followed the phalanx. Then two phalanxes of sailors marched towards the pirates.

The sailors were given the order to manage the pirates' ranks. The pirates received a clear order, and their actions depended on the phalanx of sailors. However, as soon as the pirates moved, Liu Haojia frowned! Because from above, the pirate team looks like a moving amoeba, which means that the shape of the team is constantly changing, and there is no discipline at all!

In the distance, on a high ground, two flagpole flags and horse prints are fluttering in the wind, and below is a huge screen, with Shimazu Yoshihisa sitting upright in the center. On either side sat two rows of samurai. There are also quite a few samurai standing below.

Shimazu Yoshihisa saw the Ming army slowly approaching, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Gentlemen, it seems that these Ming troops are still a little bold, and they actually took the initiative to break away from the cover of the collapse of the country on the ship, and it seems that they are planning to fight us head-on!"

Shimazu Iehisa, who was beside him, said with a smile: "It is said that only a few wandering samurai were able to cross and cross the Ming Dynasty back then, so it can be seen that these Ming troops are nothing remarkable, they are just bluffs!"

Shimazu's retainer Ijiin Nakakura said, "These Ming troops still look pretty good, but I don't know if they have the courage to attack them?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa laughed and said, "They will

I don't dare! With their guts, they just went out of the range of the artillery and waited for us to attack! If they go too far, it will be difficult for them to retreat to the beach when they lose!"

As they were talking, they saw the opposing army slowly stop and begin to assemble the phalanx. Shimazu Yoshihisa and the others couldn't help laughing, and the retainers also praised the family governor for his accurate judgment!

At this time, Shimazu Yoshihisa said with confidence: "Since the Ming army refuses to come, then we will attack it!" Our family has more than 4,000 troops, almost three times more than them, so let's teach them a profound lesson!"

The crowd immediately answered in unison. Then he continued: "Tell the naval armies on both sides to get ready, and once the enemy breaks through the opponent's army and the Ming army is on the ship in chaos, let them kill from both sides and seize the opponent's ships as much as possible!" Alright, let's go back to each other!"

After everyone answered in unison, they got up one after another, rode the horses, and the attendants led the horses and ran down quickly. Shimazu Yoshihisa sat confidently under Ma Yin, ready to wait for the news of victory.

Soon the samurai ran to their respective formations, and the order was quickly delivered. All the phalanxes slowly pressed forward. Walking at the forefront is naturally the iron cannon Ashigaru.

These iron guns have become more and more important, and they have begun to gradually take the place of archers. However, bows and arrows are still powerful enough to disrupt enemy formations, cover kills, and cause chaos in the enemy team.

Liu Haojia watched the Japanese phalanx step forward from a distance, and also praised Guo Zhankui beside him: "These Japanese people are still very capable, just looking at the formation is not something that those fools in Beijing can pose!"

Guo Zhankui said with a smile: "Marshal, if you want to say that the formation has to be the first in the world of our Wu'an Army! But we are the first in the world to fight! They're about to be out of luck!"

Liu Haojia laughed and stopped talking. However, in his opinion, these Japanese soldiers are really good! Years of conquest have allowed the Wa Kingdom to indeed accumulate a group of samurai who can fight and dare to fight, as well as relatively elite and experienced soldiers. However, sometimes technical transcendence is not something that can be resisted by will!
