Chapter 483: The Mandarin Duck Array Breaks the Enemy (Ask for Subscription)

Longquan Mountain!

It is located in the southeast of the middle reaches of the Datong River.

Like most of the mountains in North Korea, Longquan Mountain is actually a hilly and low mountain with an altitude of only more than 200 meters, and in terms of topography, it is far inferior to the Longquan Mountain Range on the side of the Min River in Shuzhong, China.

The Japanese set up a village here, and considered that once the war did not go well, they could respond to the northbound troops at any time, so as not to retreat the army and fall into the trap.

And the person in charge of garrisoning this place is none other than Kogawa Denemon, one of the twenty-four cavalry generals under the command of Kuroda Nagamasa of the Third Army.

Before the confrontation with the Ming army, Uemon did not complain about the arrangement of the corps commander. After all, the first and second armies are bravely marching north to make meritorious achievements, but they can only defend such a broken mountain.

But when he fought the Ming army for the first time, Uemon realized how funny his thoughts were.

On a snowy day, thousands of Ming troops came to the bottom of the mountain like ghosts, and they had no intention of attacking with knives at all, and directly set up a row of improved artillery carriages at the foot of the mountain.

Not only did these improved frames hold the ground firmly in the snow, but they were also much easier to transport than the previous Furlong gun frames.

The ten tiger squatting cannons were lined up one after another, and a salvo shot blew out a lot of cracks in the walled gate.

It was also when he heard the sound of artillery fire that Uemon hurriedly rolled over from the bed and got up. When he came to the entrance of the village with messy steps, he found that the wooden wall had collapsed by half.

The Ming army is coming!

They actually killed the bottom of the mountain in the snowy season.

Without waiting for the Uemon to think about anything else, the third round of artillery bombardment of the Ming Dynasty fell from the sky.

Instinctively, he fell down and hid behind the two soldiers, allowing Uemon to escape his life, but the soldiers standing in front of him were smashed by the flying solid cannonballs.

These solid cannonballs are specially used to smash the city wall, and you can imagine what the result will be when they are smashed on people.

'Bang', and the brains were smashed out.

However, because of the soldiers, the trajectory of the cannonball was changed, and the falling cannonball did not hit the right gate, but crashed into another soldier on the right.

"Retreat, all retreat!"

Seeing the two people killed by the shell, Uemon got up from the ground and immediately screamed and ordered.

Daming has artillery weapons, and the gate of the village cannot be guarded!

You can only retreat!

The commotion caused by the shouting on the top of the mountain also made the soldiers under the mountain look right.

Yu Dayou, who was in charge of the main attack command of this battle, was full of smiles between his eyebrows, waved his hand to signal the artillery team to cease fire, and turned to look at his side: "Ru Cheng, it's up to you next." ”

Wu Weizhong nodded when he heard this, and with a wave of his right hand, the shield hand under his command took the lead.

He was followed by a pawn with a wolf in his hand.

After that, there were the firecrackers, and the dense crowd of archers.

For how to compete with the Japanese people, most of the Zhejiang soldiers can be regarded as experienced, which is also the reason why after the integration of soldiers and horses, although this army is commanded by Yu Dayou, the main force is still the Ming and Zhejiang soldiers.

As the infantry began to attack on the mountain, it was the archers at the end of the formation who were the first to strike.

As soon as they reached a distance of fifty paces outside the village, eight hundred archers began to fire a volley with their bows. Arrows flew in, causing a commotion in the village again.

In terms of attack range, the Japanese Iron Cannon really can't be compared to the archers of Dameng Town.

If it weren't for the terrain being a little troubled, if it was a flat confrontation, Qin Rui's crossbowmen could even easily teach these Japanese firearms soldiers to be human.

Seeing that there was another commotion in the newly integrated team of the Japanese people, Wu Weizhong shouted loudly and led his subordinates to rush into the cottage.

The reason why the Zhejiang soldiers are brave is because their generals can often take the lead.

Of course, the Zhejiang soldiers did not rush forward without brains.

With the movement of footsteps, the charm of the mandarin duck array gradually unfolded.

Because there are large wolf weapons in the array, the soldiers occupy the position not only densely, but very loosely. This also led to the fact that even if the Japanese iron gunners fired in a concentrated manner, the fire point could not cover the entire squad.

The shield soldiers in front stood up to resist a round of gunfire and began to charge, and the Japanese iron gunners, who could not reload the gunpowder for a short time, could only retreat, and then the Japanese spearmen who stepped forward were all Japanese spearmen.

Hundreds of meters of spearmen stepped forward to fight in close combat, but they were followed by wolves that stretched out from behind their shields.

Or stab, or wring, or scrape.

With a much longer range than the spear, the pikemen were often thrown to the ground before they could get close, or they were unable to hold their spears because of the pain.

When the wolf is powerful, what begins to appear is the real killing move in the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Palladium!

This is a weapon that looks similar to a three-pointed two-edged gun, but unlike a normal lance, it has a groove at the top that allows it to be loaded with gunpowder-strapped arrows.

Igniting the gunpowder, the arrow stabbed at the pikeman in front of him who was jumping in pain, and its speed was even more powerful than ordinary crossbow arrows.

And the palladium hand in each small formation will be equipped with twenty or thirty rockets.

"The artillery opened fire to attack the fortification, the bows and arrows fired volleys in chaos, the shield soldiers advanced to resist the wounded, the wolves broke the defenses, and the palladium aimed and killed."

"Is this the Qi family's army?"

Accompanying this army to participate in the battle, there are also Dumb and Ruoshui, Ruoshui has long seen the Qi family's powerful soldiers, but Dumb is the first time to see it.

The mandarin duck attack of the Qi family army in front of him is like an art performance on the battlefield in Dumb's eyes.

The cooperation between each class can be said to be seamless.

Especially after the palladium launched the rocket, even if there were still half a breath left in front of the Japanese people, these soldiers holding the palladium would not stab at will, but retreated steadily and began to load their rockets.

"That is, the Qi family's formation changes, just like a sophisticated mechanical instrument. Everyone isn't particularly strong, but together they're invincible. ”

Shangshan Ruoshui nodded in agreement, he and Dumb were both standing in the crossbowman array, and they could clearly see that every Ming soldier in front of him was repeating his movements one by one.

Shield soldiers and wolf warriors don't have any complicated skills to speak of, as long as they have a strong arm. Palladium has a little bit of technical meaning, but it is just ignition aiming.

Is it difficult?

It's definitely not difficult to separate the actions one by one!

But it's not so easy to get a whole squad to trust each other and participate in the battle as tacitly as they do now.

This is also the preciousness of the Qi family's army mandarin duck array!

And by the time the Japanese iron gunners were ready to attack again, the situation in front of them had already appeared. The Great Ming Bird Gunner, who had not moved for a long time, also unfolded the bag from the rear around the two wings.

The range of the bird gun is still farther than the iron cannon musket of the Japanese people, and a siege battle is actually a crushing military exercise of the Ming army from the beginning.

"It's no wonder that the Qi family army can always play a miraculous battle loss ratio, this kind of fighting, the Japanese can't get close at all." Watching the Japanese retreat again and again, Dumb exhaled, and finally couldn't help but rush out with his sword.

If you don't rush forward, the Japanese will be killed by the Zhejiang soldiers.
