Chapter 101: Mutual Temptation

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

The neat footsteps of more than a thousand people stepped on the ground at the same time, causing the earth to tremble slightly, even in the marching procession, the face of the erect flower changed slightly.

As the so-called connoisseur knows whether there is a shot or not, and how experienced people know at a glance how effective an army is, Erectus Kan has been fighting in Japan for many years, although it is a war at the level of a village chief, but whether it is vision or experience, it is real. Now he looked over and saw

This army has never seen anything he has ever seen before, especially since this army can maintain a high degree of consistency between marches, which is very terrifying.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock knock knock ......"

The heavy drum accompanied the neat steps of the sergeants began to step into the battlefield, Gong Daxian, Wu Zhenliang and all the soldiers defending the city could see clearly from the city wall, this suddenly appeared Ming army began to line up in the drums, one by one flags began to be erected, from their point of view down this army is almost a straight line whether it is horizontal or vertical or even oblique, this is very terrifying, for them have never seen such a spectacular scene.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice rang out.

"...... Protection"

As this voice sounded, the ranks that had already finished lining suddenly let out a cries in unison like a landslide and tsunami.

"Protecting ......"

"Whoa......

The originally neat footsteps stomped heavily and then suddenly stopped, and this stomping seemed to have stepped into their hearts, and everyone was shocked.

At this time, the two armies have been completely lined up, the two sides are less than four hundred meters apart, a dignified atmosphere began to linger in the air, so heavy that it almost makes people breathless, Wu Zhenliang on the city wall, Gong Daxian and all the soldiers on the city wall are staring intently below, their fate has been closely linked with this army, if the following army wins, everything is naturally easy to say, but if this Ming army is defeated, then the Japanese will inevitably take advantage of the situation to attack the city again, Zhenjiang Mansion is still in danger of falling.

Wu Zhenliang only held the green brick at the battlement, his face was nervous, at this time, the two armies below were only a few hundred meters apart, and one of them was also ragged and weaponized, but in terms of numbers, it was twice as many as the other party. The other army was strictly forbidden to be neat and well-equipped, but the number of people was twice as small as that of the other side, so it is really difficult to say who will die in this battle.

At this moment, a tall Ming army general riding a jujube red war horse slowly walked out to the side of the military formation, only to see him slowly draw out a heavy knife and point diagonally in the direction of the Japanese Kou. Immediately after the horn sounded, the pikemen, sword and shield hands and heavy shield men in the formation began to retreat, and the four hundred musketeers lined up in four rows, and under the orders of their own hundred households, the guns began to step forward and slowly pressed towards the Japanese invaders.

After seeing the formation of the Ming army, a high-pitched conch sound sounded, a burly man wearing bronze armor slowly rode out of the team, what is strange is that this wolf is holding a fan in his hand, I saw him go to the front of the formation and wave the fan forward, immediately there are seven or eight Japanese men holding Japanese knives The first to jump out of the formation, followed by dozens of spearmen, they made a strange cry in their mouths and rushed towards the opposite Ming army.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhenliang's face changed, and for some reason his mind immediately appeared in his mind the tactics of the Japanese Kou described by Zheng Ruo in the "Preparation of the Sea Atlas": "The Japanese are accustomed to a butterfly formation, and the battle is called by waving a fan, one person waving a fan, everyone is dancing with a knife and rising up, squandering into the air, and my soldiers are in a hurry to raise their heads, and they are cut from below." It is also a long snake formation, a hundred foot flags in front of it, and the fish runs through it, the strongest is the front, the strongest is the palace, and the middle is brave and cowardly. ”

Almost at the same time, Gong Daxian also shouted: "It's not good, be careful of the thieves' butterfly formation, they lure us to fire first." ”

Yang Feng, who was riding on horseback, looked at the Japanese who were running towards his formation, his face showed a trace of solemnity, and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated a little. The first time he went to the battlefield, he also did his homework in advance, he read a lot of books in advance, Qi Jiguang in the "Ji Xiao New Book" clearly described, when the Japanese invaders in the battle, often send one or two Japanese to take the lead, half-naked with knives, "jumping and crouching", extremely provocative ability, inducing the Ming army muskets, bows and crossbows to fire together, and then take advantage of the Ming army's firepower attenuation, the leader of the Japanese or blow the conch or wave the fan, the Japanese dance knife attack, the long drive straight in.

Looking at the handful of pirates who were getting closer and closer, Yang Feng did not give the order to order the fire soldiers in the front row to fire, but turned his head and gave an order to a trumpeter beside him, who immediately raised his trumpet and blew three times hurriedly, with the sound of a sharp trumpet, dozens of cavalrymen who were originally slowly hovering on the flanks of the battle formation moved, and they divided more than ten people and rushed towards the dozens of pirates.

"It's not good, blow the trumpet immediately to make them withdraw, and let Ono-kun answer them immediately!"

Seeing the cavalry rushing out, Hua Kan's face changed slightly, he didn't expect the Ming generals on the opposite side to react so quickly, and the bait he sent just jumped out of the battle formation, and the cavalry on the other side was killed immediately. You must know that although the warriors of the Japanese are very strong in their personal martial arts, the cavalry who is known for their speed is the nemesis of their class, and he has also seen in the previous battles, the firearms of these Ming cavalry are very sharp, and the Japanese have no good way to face them.

"Didi ......"

The low sound of the conch sounded immediately, and the Japanese who were originally running towards the Ming army battle formation immediately turned around and ran towards their own battle formation without hesitation when they heard the sound, and when they ran back, hundreds of Japanese archers also ran out of their own battle formation and began to bend their bows and arrows, and the arrows that flashed cold light were aimed at the Ming cavalry facing them.

"These thieves are really quick to react, and they will immediately blow the trumpet for them to withdraw." Yang Feng's expression became a little more solemn, and he immediately turned his head and gave an order to the trumpeter beside him.

"Didi......"

After the rapid trumpet sounded, the cavalry, which had been rushing towards the Japanese battle array, also turned a corner and ran back to their side.

Although the two sides did not fight each other in this temptation, the danger in it was not humane. Either side moves slower and will be hit by a storm of blows. Although Yang Feng's cavalry was wearing plate armor, it was not a heavy cavalry after all, and the war horse under the crotch did not have the slightest protection, once it was covered by the opponent's arrow rain, even if it was not dead, it had to shed its skin.

After this trial, both sides understood that it was useless to make these small moves again, and only the strength of both sides would determine the outcome of the battle. So in the sound of drums and conchs, the formations of the two sides began to move forward......
