0368 Out of the city and in formation

With that, he raised his binoculars and looked at each other. The Japanese are completing their final assembly. However, this time the opposite phalanx gave people a very different feeling, and it seemed to have a somewhat tragic feeling. Liu Pei also understood Kayama Hisataka's thoughts. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have risked his life and fought to the death!

Liu Pei put down the binoculars and turned around, and saw that the family members were gathering in the open space, so he said to the people around him: "The firecrackers are lined up in front, and there are three rows of horizontal lines. The sword-and-shield men and pikemen then formed a formation. The musketeers are going to shoot closely! This time, we're going to crush them head-on! ”

At this time, Hisaka Kayama was speaking to a group of samurai beside him. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this time our opponent is very different, and it is not the pirate we thought at the beginning. Maybe Akito intervened directly! ”

Speaking of which. A whisper of surprise suddenly came to mind in the samurai group! It seems that the dark clouds of defeat in the Korean campaign still hang over the heads of these samurai! This cannot be blamed on the fear and surprise of these samurai. After all, many famous samurai and their predecessors died in Korea during that war. It's not because they weren't afraid. However, the samurai were very disciplined, and after a little discussion, they continued to stand up straight, waiting for Hisashi Kayama to speak.

Seeing why he had regained his composure, Hisataka smiled slightly, and then he said solemnly, "I know what you're thinking. But that's okay! The Akito are indeed powerful, but on this island, they are equal in strength to ours. So I hope that today's monarchs can fight to the death and achieve a great victory! Let today be the beginning of our counterattack against the Akito! ”

The samurai bowed together and said, "Hai! ”

Just as Hisataka Kayama was about to wave everyone away, a samurai suddenly shouted, "My lord, look! The other party to the gate opened! ”

When Kayama Hisaka heard this, he immediately looked up, only to see that the gate of the other party's camp was indeed open, and the soldiers inside were pouring out. Hisakama Hisaka was not only not happy when he saw this scene, but felt a sense of horror! Because he knew that his opponent must have known the news of the burning of his own fleet. At this time, they left the camp with a geographical advantage, which shows that the other party has enough confidence and strength to defeat them!

Thinking of this, Birch Mountain Hisagao couldn't help but feel a burst of annoyance! I feel that the other party seems to look down on people too much! But as a veteran, he quickly discarded the superfluous thoughts in his mind and threw himself into the war.

He sneered and said to the warriors, "Gentlemen, the rat has come out of the hole! It's convenient for us, isn't it? ”

The samurai burst into a low laugh. Hisakama could tell from the laughter that they were full of confidence, which made him happy!

Hisakama continued: "Even so, let's fight seriously!" ”

Hisadaka Kayama assigned tasks to the samurai, and he arranged all the gunners in three horizontal columns at the front. The rest of the people in the back row were divided into three phalanxes. On both flanks are small phalanxes of a small number of spear ashigaru. The largest number of people was the main camp in the middle, and all the samurai led by Hisataka Kayama himself would be used as an assault force. They will unleash wave after wave of onslaught at the enemy on the opposite side, knowing that they will be defeated or all killed.

When Huashan Jiugao finished arranging, Liu Pei's formation was also arranged. The two sides invariably put on a needle-to-wheat posture. Liu Pei called all the officers of the firecrackers and said to them: "It is up to you whether you can win the battle smoothly today!" Your tactics are to move forward, forward, and again! You don't need to fire halfway, you just need to get closer to the other side about 20 paces before you fire! I believe that the enemy will not be able to withstand a few volleys of yours and will be able to crush them completely! ”

Many general flags and small flags are awe-inspiring when they hear it! It's a deadly game! In the process of advancing to this distance, I don't know how many family members will be killed and injured! They had practiced this kind of training before, but it was the first time they had actually practiced.

Qi Qitao said: "I'll personally lead the team this time!" Otherwise, I'm afraid the family won't be able to hold it down! ”

Liu Pei hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. That's how it is on the battlefield, as the saying goes, people die and birds rise to the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years! You don't have to die when you risk your life. Moreover, this is the first time that the family members have fought against the regular army, and it is normal to send a heavyweight to suppress the formation. And Liu Pei, as the supreme leader, is not suitable to appear on the front-line battlefield.

Liu Pei said to Qi Qitao: "Remember, if the enemy does not collapse after three volleys, then continue to shoot until the opponent collapses!" After that, the musketeers are to withdraw to the wings. You go straight back to the town, and you pay attention to the flags, you know? ”

Qi Qitao straightened his helmet and said, "Understood, family master!" Don't worry, look at me! ”

In a short time, both sides were in formation. Almost invariably, they began to move forward slowly. The formations of both sides were very tight, like two slowly moving forests approaching each other. A great war is brewing, and only one side of the two sides can drink the wine of victory!

When the forwards of both sides were approaching more than 100 paces, the local formations of both sides invariably slowed down, waiting for the forwards to decide the winner.

The musketeers of both sides continued to move forward slowly, and when the distance between the two sides was about eighty paces, the iron cannon of the Japanese people stopped first, and under the command of the samurai, they raised their guns and fired. The first row of gunfire was remembered on the originally silent position!

At this time, the difference in tactical thinking between the two sides is reflected. The tactical idea of the Japanese is to use long-range firepower to disrupt the opponent's position as much as possible, and at the same time consume the opponent's long-range troops. Then the samurai of the town led the elite soldiers to carry out a surprise attack, cutting through the opposing camp in one fell swoop.

This method of warfare was very effective in the Japanese mainland. However, there is a disadvantage of this method of warfare, that is, they do not regard the iron artillery ashigaru as one of the armed forces that will decide the victory. And put all the success or failure on the samurai and elite infantry. Although this highlights the importance of the samurai, the tactics are too simple, and the combat effectiveness of the entire team is not brought into play! The level of martial arts of the samurai and elite infantry became the main factor that determined the success or failure of the war. Therefore, the iron cannon Ashigaru began to shoot at the limit distance of more than 100 steps.

However, Liu Pei's combat thinking is just the opposite of that of the Japanese people, that is, to make full use of all the striking forces to consume the opponent's vital forces. What Liu Pei values most is the effective firepower output of the firebolt. It would be good if the swordsmen and pikemen in this formation could inflict a lot of casualties on the enemy, but with the large amount of damage inflicted on the enemy by the musketeers, the victory would basically be sealed.

The first round of Iron Cannon Ashigaru totaled in vain. After all, now everyone is using smoothbore guns, and at such a long distance, the accuracy of smoothbore guns is negligible. The first row of iron cannons stepped back, while the second row raised their iron cannons in place, and under the command of the samurai, they raised their iron cannons to aim.

The iron cannon ashigaru thought that the opponent was going to stop shooting at this time, but they didn't expect that the opponent still leaned on his shoulder and continued to move forward with the beat of the drum. Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping and firing back, Iron Cannon Ashigaru felt a little surprised! However, they were able to complete the preparations before shooting under the command of the samurai.

Qi Qitao carried the war knife to the far right of the horizontal team. He was also covered in plate armor, no different from an ordinary householder. When the other party's iron cannon sounded, his heart was also shocked. But he suppressed his fears and continued to lead the team forward.

This is where the benefits of modern training come into play. The Iron Cannon Footlights had to stop and align their ranks every distance they walked, or they would be scattered and scattered. And Liu Pei's family team is still very neat. Except for the partial deformation caused by obstacles in the land, everything else is perfect.

Just as they took five steps again, the second row of the iron cannon Ashigaru fired the iron cannon! There were casualties in the Musketeers' ranks this time! One person was shot in the neck and fell. The lead hit the base of his neck on the left side, taking away a chunk of meat! Blood spurted out of the arteries! In less than a minute he was dead! There is little room for salvage from this wound at the moment.
