In dealing with small groups of enemy troops who are unprotected, no heavy martial arts, no cavalry, and only known for sword skills, Qi Jiguang's flower-fit mandarin duck formation is much more useful than the purely equipped square formation that Xu Shiyang now uses.

But Xu Shiyang's main enemy was not the Japanese pirates, and the main opponent he would face in the future would be the northern Tartars who were famous for their cavalry.

Moreover, the new army can only be regarded as newborn babies. Equipment, supplies, training, and personnel replenishment are all big problems. If you really don’t have the conditions to play with the more complicated mandarin duck formation.

Fortunately, the enemies Xu Shiyang is facing now have too little knowledge of firearms (all Japanese pirates are facing gunpowder weapons for the first time). They rushed straight to the bottom of the gun mouth like they were killed in a dense formation, and they ruined the main elite very frivolously.

After the new army's spearmen began to advance, the Japanese pirates were on the verge of collapse.

In this case, there is actually not much difference between the mandarin duck array or the pure square array.

The so-called pirates do not flee easily, after all, there is a bottom line. The team of more than 800 people has lost nearly 10% of the losses after taking turns to attack wooden guns, firearms, bows and arrows, and most of them are the most elite ronin or small-scale leaders.

The main formation of Japanese pirates has lost command. Faced with the approaching spear tip, many people have collapsed. Some people have tried to turn around and escape, while a few people howl hysterically and wield their weapons and rush over indiscriminately.

These scattered Japanese pirates were unable to pose a threat to the dense gun array and were soon poked to death in front of the array.

Five steps away, Xu Shiyang let out a shout, and the spearmen began to sprint quickly, and the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh was endless. The Japanese pirates who could not avoid were stabbed to cry and cry, and the blood drifted away, and many people were even strung together like candied haws!

The spearmen raided and the Japanese pirates completely collapsed. Someone in the back row shouted in Fusang dialect. Everyone began to turn around and run for life. The monk soldiers supervising the battle behind the pirates roared and killed the defeated soldiers, but they only had more than 20 people, which was meaningless in front of hundreds of defeated soldiers. They were soon submerged in the surging crowd.

"Chasing!"

Xu Shiyang issued the last order, and the spearmen let go of their hands and let the spear that was still strung with the bodies of the Japanese pirates land on the ground. They did not draw their guns, but each pulled out their knives or axes, shouting in unison to chase the Japanese pirates.

Then there were other fort coalition forces who were still ignorant. These militiamen followed the new army and had not reacted yet. Why did the Xu family members in front of them turn into pursuit as soon as they stopped?

There is no need to fight the meat with a knife? The sound of the ping-pong sounds and the Japanese collapses? Is this really a war? Is it so easy to fight?

However, the fact is right in front of us. The Japanese have indeed begun to flee. The militia's attack is not strong, but they can still chase and kill the fleeing enemy. The masters of the Wang family, Ding family, and Bao family castle saw the opportunity and shouted. The militia all rushed over with the spearmen.

Xu Shiyang stood there and pulled the flag gun out of the two Japanese pirates strung together - he had his military flag on it, and could not be thrown on the ground like other spears.

What's more, you don't have to do it yourself if you chase and kill.

In fact, even the new army musketeers formed based on personal soldiers did not participate in the pursuit. They held the bayonets with both hands and escorted Xu Shiyang around.

A moment later, the personal soldiers led by Xu Shiliu, Luan Tingyu and Sun Li whizzed past Xu Shiyang.

"Third brother! I'll go hunting down the escaped enemy, don't worry, I will definitely not let them go!"

"Go." Xu Shiyang replied in a low voice. His throat hurts very much after every battle.

'It's time to prepare more signals.' Xu ​​Shiyang thought to himself: 'There is only one whistle, and the information that can be spread is too little. The rest can only be yelled at the top of my voice. Now there are only one hundred people in the new army. When there are a little more people, no one on the outside can hear what I am saying.'

...

Nojiri Masakawa fought his last strength and kept driving his short robe legs to run in front of the defeated soldiers.

Just now, when he was facing the new army, as the newly promoted medium-ranked leader, he also stood in the front row, and miraculously survived the first two long-range strikes - a guy next to him was directly hit by the lead of the 15mm mesh gun, and his entire head was beaten into rotten watermelons scattered.

Then Nojiri knew that things were not going well today.

Unlike others, Nojiri, who is truly from a samurai family (although it is just a worthless second son of a lower-level samurai), has some experience in escaping on land battlefields.

While the others were still hesitating, Nojiri suddenly trembled, pretending to be hit, and fell straight to the ground.

As expected, the main force of our side suffered a greater blow and collapsed without surprise.

At this time, Nojiri was the first to get up from the ground, turned around and ran backwards.

It was also the first time he used the Fusang language to make a shout of "If you lose, run away!" to remind the at a loss of fools to turn around and run away - not because he had any mercy on his stupid "comrades", but simply because the main formation did not collapse, he himself could not break through the obstacles of the monk soldiers' supervision team.

Finally, after doing so many things, Nojiri was of course the first Japanese pirate to draw his sword against the monk soldiers' supervision team and break through the blocking line.

Now, as long as he returns to the ship, he can escape from the sky.

Well, others may not have gained much this time, but he was very satisfied because he grabbed a slab boat from the Goryeo Pirates. The result was already very rich, and there was no regret for ending the robbery.

As for sailors, you can just find dozens of people, and the boardhouse can be operated without too many people.

Nojiri was a little obese. After running for a long time, she was a little out of breath, but the main battlefield was not far from the beach. If you work harder, you should be able to arrive.

On the way, there were still some unknown Japanese pirates gathering. On the one hand, they needed to prevent the Rizhao Port defenders from taking advantage of the main force's opportunity to rush out to attack. On the other hand, some people wanted to find an opportunity to get some fuel from the battlefield when the main force defeated the enemy.

When Nojiri passed by them, someone asked him loudly what he was doing in such a hurry to run, but he refused to answer. Now the main force has collapsed, and the guys who are still going to the battlefield have almost no chance of surviving, but they may be able to slightly stop the enemy's pursuit.

Unfortunately, as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, Nojiri heard a rush of horse hooves.

"cavalry!?"
Chapter completed!
