Late Ming sea owl

Chapter 134 First Formation
Feng Yidao led the Chinese army's suppression team and flag and drum team to command the formation on a small slope behind the formation. Just when he was about to engage the enemy, he suddenly saw the soldiers of the Security Department retreating like a tide.

Many people ran back desperately, including captains holding flag guns and corps commanders holding swords. Some people were still shouting: "Run quickly, there are too many barbarians!" "

Most of them even lost their weapons, especially because the wolf sword was quite heavy. Almost all of the defeated wolf sword soldiers abandoned their weapons, which caused a lot of trouble for the subsequent march of the troops.

In just a few clicks, except for the first post, which was relatively neatly staffed, the second, third, and fourth posts of the Security Department that were walking behind already lost nearly half their people.

The remaining half of the people were also rushed into chaos. The second sentry commander, Scarface, took the lead in killing the deserters. The two following sentry commanders and some captains and corps commanders also began to follow suit. The following three sentry posts barely had half of the people left. It collapsed, but it was all in chaos.

"These damn gangs..." Viper saw this and pulled out his knife, intending to lead the suppression team to attack them.

"There are too many deserters, we can't hold them down anymore, Viper, come shoulder to shoulder." Feng Yidao's shout rang in his ears. When Viper heard this slang, he knew that Brother Dao was planning to charge in person, and he still looked like he was there It's like welcoming the door beam in the village.

Just as Feng Yidao was about to rush forward, he suddenly remembered that it was time to beat the drum instead of beating the drum, so he stopped and turned around and shouted: "Drummer, beat the drum."

When I turned around, I realized that most of the flag and drum troupe had dispersed, and the drummer was turning around and running away...

"Straight bitch!" Feng Yidao was furious, raised his hand, and slashed the drummer's neck with all his strength.

It's a big head, but with one knife... the drummer's head was chopped off by him.

"You just beat the drum here." Feng Yidao shouted to an old brother in the pacification team beside him, and then rushed forward, and Viper and others followed suit.

The first team of the first sentry, when the poisonous arrow passed by Xiao Zhou's ear, he soon heard a shout from the right rear, followed by a noise immediately behind.

Xiao Zhou instinctively wanted to look back and see what was going on. Suddenly, the viper's sinister laughter appeared in his mind: "In the law of war, those who turn back have their ears cut off..."

Xiao Zhou couldn't help but shudder. At this time, he was only thirty steps away from the barbarian opposite, and a poisonous arrow hit his long card.

And in front of him on the left is the nine fingers holding the captain's flag gun without any defense.

"Escape at this time means death. Anyone with eggs will follow me." Jiuzhi's shout came from the front, and for some reason Xiao Zhou felt that there was a hint of excitement in this shout.

"I am the corps leader. If I run away, the whole corps will definitely be gone. I can't leave Brother Nine Fingers here alone..." Xiao Zhou thought like this, and walked forward quickly to use the long card in his hand. Cover nine fingers.

Unexpectedly, the thin monkey was one step faster than him. He stepped forward and shouted at the same time: "Listen to the captain, our first team is at the front. If you turn around, you will die."

At this time, the drum beat that had been coming suddenly stopped. From the corner of Xiao Zhou's right eye, he saw a wolf spear flying diagonally from the right rear. It was the wolf spearman behind him who dropped his weapon.

"Behead those who escape." The first sentry commander's crooked roar came from behind, and then the sound of raindrops of drums sounded from further behind.

"Charge with all sentries!" Waizui shouted, rushed forward and stabbed to death the fleeing Wolf Hunter.

Xiao Zhou stepped forward quickly, sandwiched his nine fingers with Slender Monkey, and held the long cards in his hands firmly in front of him.

It was the time when he was growing taller. In the eight or nine months since he boarded the ship, he had eaten much fuller food than before, and his height and weight had increased a lot. Now he is no longer like a skinny monkey with three muscles and a head. physique.

Because of this, when the weapons were awarded, Xiao Zhou was the long card player, and Skinny Monkey was the rattan card player.

In the Yuanyang formation team, the two sword players are both team leaders. Each team is composed of the team leader plus a wolf spearman, two spearmen and a boring palladium hand. The two teams plus the captain Together with the soldiers, they formed a small team.

The captain of the first post and the two corps commanders took the lead in engaging the enemy, stabbing the Leilang man opposite him in the throat with a nine-fingered spear. The man's short spear could not reach him at all.

The thin monkey also rushed forward, waving the shield in one hand and the waist knife in the other.

The Leilang people in the front row were all selected brave people, and the weapons in their hands were all made of iron. However, they were quickly stabbed to death by nine fingers. The thin monkey saw the gap and quickly moved forward. One person was killed.

The spears of the Leilang people are too short and are more used for fighting alone, rather than for use in battle formations where everyone only needs to take care of the front.

In addition, the tall long shields and flexible shields blocked all their attacks. The few Leilang people facing the enemy could not break through the defense of these two shields.

The Leilang people in front of the thin monkey were outflanking him. Suddenly, a wolf spear came over and pressed firmly against the left side of the thin monkey, blocking the four or five barbarians in front of him.

This wolf chopper was a strong man with some brute strength. He just held the bamboo pole with branches and blades flat in his hand, and pushed it forward with a howl in his mouth.

The two spearmen behind him were holding long spears of eight feet, which were longer than the captain's flag gun in Jiuzhi's hands, and almost three times as long as the short spears of the Leilang people opposite him.

The two spearmen stepped forward together, one on the left and the other on the right, poking at the Leilang people through the branches of the wolf.

At this time, Ruan Jin's second team also joined the enemy on the left side of the first team. No one in this team escaped. The organization was very complete. In an instant, it broke through the Leilang people's right-wing front like a sharp knife cutting through tofu. .

The Security Department formed a counter-outflank on the left wing of the Lei Lang coalition, but the right wing began to tighten.

The first deserter appeared in the third team on the right wing of the first sentry, and the whole team ran almost half of it.

Not long after, the wolf spearman on the right side of the first team also ran away, and a spearman also ran away. It was Xiao Zhou and the remaining spearman, a boring machineman, and a few people from the third team who did not run away. Hold on.

Without the protection of the wolf, these new recruits who were not good at martial arts were all mentally unstable, and they were basically fighting blindly in panic.

The several spearmen who were the main force of the output either fired pointlessly or used their spears too hard all of a sudden. They were easily bullied by the Leilang people on the opposite side and stabbed to death with a spear.

These Leilang people in the front row are elites selected from various village communities. They are all ruthless characters who have killed several people and have rich experience in fighting. In terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are definitely stronger than this group of fishermen.

Most of the people on Xiao Zhou's right were killed or injured in an instant. The left wing of the Leilang people began to outflank him. Everyone on the right wing of the Security Department had to fight several enemies.

Xiao Zhou's mind went blank at this time, and he waved the long card like a thin monkey, but the long card was very heavy, and he felt a little weak within two strokes.

The barbarian on the opposite side poked him with a short spear. Xiao Zhou had no time to block it, and secretly thought that he was dead now.

Suddenly, an arrow passed by his ear and hit the barbarian Lei Lang opposite him. "It's Brother Dao's arrow! Brother Dao personally hit it!" The whistle commander's crooked voice came from behind, and then he saw him leading the fourth team with a basically complete organization to hit it from the right...

At this time, Feng Yidao, Viper and others had just rushed to the second sentry position, where the sentry commander Scarface and the three captains who had not run away were reorganizing their team.

"Scarface, come shoulder to shoulder." Feng Yidao stopped and shouted to Scarface, then he took out an arrow from the quiver, stretched his bow and shot it out.

The angle of this arrow was extremely tricky, and it passed right through the middle of the first team and the fourth team who were taking up positions, killing a Lei Lang strong man on the spot.

Feng Yidao used a tendon-angle composite bow, which was far inferior to the light single-bamboo bow of Lei Lang.

Coupled with his accurate archery skills, two consecutive arrows hit the target. The Leilang people who were trying to outflank the first team immediately retreated.

The fourth team led by Waizui took this opportunity to press forward, and the Security Department's right-wing line was finally stabilized.

"Brother Dao, your archery skills are still as good as before!" Scarface didn't bother to form a team, so he chased after him.

"Haha, isn't that right?" Feng Yidao led Viper and Scarface behind the first team led by Jiuzhi. The team in the middle currently had the thinnest front line.

In the west of Guandu City, Lin Hai and Zheng Tingqiu stood outside the bamboo gate. In front of them were three French guns lined up and six gunners.

Looking at the scattered deserters, a large and sparse mass, at least six or seventy of them at a glance, Lin Hai ordered loudly: "Fire the gun!"

The gunners lit up the Franco machine guns one after another, and lead bullets rained down for a while. Although the deserters ran away, at least seven or eight people were shot this time.

The remaining people stopped immediately and stood there blankly. They did not expect that Lin Hai would directly use the Folan cannon to bombard them. Several people started to turn around and run back.

After the three-door Folang machine fired one round, the gunners pulled up the iron bolt and replaced the blunderbuss. However, after replacing the blunderbuss, they did not hear the order to continue firing.

Lin Hai said to Zheng Tingqiu: "Brother Zheng, you personally take the sailors to guard the formation and tell those who escape that anyone who can kill a Leilang person can be spared death at their own discretion. Your people will personally supervise and do not allow them to cut people to death." First level recharge.”

Zheng Tingqiu said: "I took everyone away. If another barbarian comes, what will happen here?"

"There are ten Folangji, which is enough to defend the city, not to mention the people from Wulang are about to arrive." Lin Hai assigned the ten Folangji to the four city gates. With these ten guys here, unless it is Zheng Zhilong or the red-haired ghost suddenly came, otherwise Guandu City would be impregnable.

He went on to say: "Unless the Garrison Department is defeated, your people are only allowed to guard the formation and are not allowed to participate in the battle. From now on, any deserters will be killed on the spot."

At this time, in front of the Security Department's formation, Lei Lang's coalition forces were disintegrating.

Except for the first two rows of these Leilang people, who were relatively brave, the ones in the back were all those who greased their soles when they saw the situation was not going well.

However, due to the restrictions of the terrain, the queue of Leilang people was very long. The people at the back of the team did not know what was happening in front, and they were still pushing forward. The people in front could not retreat even if they wanted to, so they could only resist desperately. .

But this kind of resistance is just a meaningless struggle. The mandarin duck formation is mixed with long and short lengths, and the assassins and guards are combined. It can be said that it is a copy of the "Sima Fa", the first Chinese military book, "It is disadvantageous if the soldiers are not mixed. A long army is used to defend, and a short army is used to defend." "The idea of ​​​​is fully displayed.

When the second team of the first sentry and the fourth team equivalent to the reserve team came forward and occupied the entire front of the battlefield, the Lei Lang coalition could no longer cause any damage to the Security Department.

Finally, the Leilang people at the back were rushed away by more and more people who turned around, and the entire team began to flee backwards desperately, and many people were squeezed into the Tamsui River for a while.

"Kill!" Jiuzhi was ready to kill and took the lead in pursuing.

Feng Yidao, Viper, Scarface, and the first sentry leader Waizui, who had a relatively neat organization under his command, all ignored the command at this time and rushed forward on their own.

"Haha... so happy!" Feng Yidao, who never talked much, couldn't help laughing loudly. At this moment, his body seemed to be much lighter, just like when he returned to the village, surrounded by people walking shoulder to shoulder. brother.

Only Ruan Jin, the captain of the second team, issued an order to his men: "Pursue in groups of two, with one spearman in each group, and the other is either a knife player or a wolf sword player, and the two boring and palladium players are with me. The Pyro soldiers stayed put.”

Ruan Jin had seen large and small three-talent formations in the Zhoushan Camp Town and Fu Team, but at that time the Garrison Department had only practiced the 12-man big mandarin duck formation. He felt that instead of using the untrained formation, it would be better to work in pairs. It was easy to cooperate, so I arranged the groups according to my own ideas and improvised.

Wu Lang hurriedly gathered about a hundred people. When he led his army to the west of Guandu City, Lei Lang's people had already begun to collapse.

Lin Hai was watching the battle on the small slope where Feng Yidao and Viper were standing before. When he saw Wu Lang and Lun First coming, he waved them over.

"Look, your people don't need to take action anymore." Lin Hai pointed to the battlefield a mile away and said to Wu Lang with a smile.

Wu Lang was surprised and said: "You defeated the Lei Lang people so quickly?"

Lin Hai nodded and laughed when he heard this: "That's right, and only more than 200 people were used, no cannons."

"They are those who train every day. I see that their weapons are very special, and each different weapon has a fixed position. What is this called? Can you also teach it to my army?"

"Of course you can, but I don't have any extra weapons right now, so I can't do it yet. In the future, you have to prepare more deerskins and slaves, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to buy weapons from me."

Yuanyang Formation is good at fighting public security warfare, and teaching Wu Lang's army will be beneficial to him in stabilizing the order of the kingdom. Lin Hai originally planned to teach him in the future.

However, he was only given cold weapons, not blunderbuss, and he was only taught squad formations and basic military techniques. Other more critical aspects of military organization building were definitely not taught.

"I can't arbitrarily demote my people into slaves, Shopkeeper Lin. This is what you taught me. I'm afraid that there won't be enough slaves to exchange for your weapons." Wu Lang said with some worry.

"How could it be?" Lin Hai laughed, "Do you only want to rule the north bank of the Keelung River? Taking advantage of this victory, you should hurry up and expand your territory to the south."

Wu Lang said excitedly: "You mean, capture all the Leilang people and make them slaves?"

Lin Hai shook his head and said: "No, no, that's not what I meant. This is also something that cannot be done at all. What I mean is that you should bring the Leilang people's village community into your rule. As long as your people If there are more, more people will commit crimes, and naturally there will be more slaves.”

Wu Lang nodded frequently after hearing this. He liked the identity of the Iron King more and more: "Okay, I will do what Shopkeeper Lin said."
