Ming Dynasty 1566

Chapter 53

Right on the opposite side of the Japanese boat moored in the vast, green and densely forested mountains, a pair of angry eyes were looking at them, these beasts!

This is Qi Jiajun! 2000 people rushed here immediately after killing a group of Japanese pirates in Longshan. It has been two days and two nights lying in the mountains. No one has moved, and no one has disturbed the birds perched on every big tree.

Qi Jiguang leaned against a big tree, leaned on the sword with both hands, and sat there without moving.

Countless pairs of eyes were looking at him at this moment, but he was only looking forward, still motionless.

A general crawled slowly on the ground, crawled to his side, tried his best to get close to his ear, and said very softly: "General, some brothers have been without food for two days, and most brothers have not eaten for a day. "

Qi Jiguang didn't look at him, and replied in a low voice: "I know."

The general said: "The Japanese pirates rape and kill people on the boat every day. Brothers, don't you want to wait?"

Qi Jiguang looked at him slowly, and only whispered a word: "Wait!"

Qi's army wiped out more than 4000 Japanese pirates in the battle of Longshan and rescued more than [-] Chinese people. They immediately went to Wenling to intercept the Japanese pirates who came from Xiangshan, Fenghua, and Ninghai.At this moment, the backup was cut off.According to historical records, thousands of soldiers still persevered and waited for an opportunity to kill the enemy even after they had been out of food for several days!
From outside the mountains, there were two cannon shots from Japanese boats on the sea!Soon, the Japanese pirates responded to the sound of firecrackers from the mountain on the other side of the beach!Then, the roar of pirates in the distance and the cries of countless people were faintly heard.

Countless pairs of soldiers looked at Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang slowly stood up beside the big tree leaning on his sword.A general led Qi Jiguang's muzzled big white horse from the dense forest, and walked towards Qi Jiguang.

In the dense forest, many soldiers led their horses and slowly appeared, and many soldiers who were lying in the grass slowly stood up.

Qi Jiguang took the reins and patted the white horse's neck, and the horse immediately lowered its neck and rubbed Qi Jiguang's broad shoulders.

Qi Jiguang turned over and sat on it: "The order is that the cavalry will follow me from the middle, and the first, second, third and fourth battalions will attack the enemy from the third side, and the fifth and sixth battalions will rescue the people! Don't set firearms unless it is absolutely necessary, and don't hurt the people!" "

There was no answer, and everyone raised their spears, waist knives, shields, and firecrackers to show their acceptance!

By the bay, the tall black horse sat impressively on Thirteen Inoue!Behind him are the dozen or so Japanese pirate warriors also wearing black cloaks!Behind the black cloak and black horse, a brigade of Japanese pirates drove the people from the hills in the north to the beach!
All the people were strung up in long lines with hemp ropes around their left arms, and each of them carried the looted property of the Japanese pirates on their shoulders or on their backs!
The Japanese boat on the sea had approached about ten feet from the shore, and then countless small boats were hoisted down from the big boat and rowed to the shore.

Here, countless pairs of soldiers stared at Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang unhooked the white horse, and the horse immediately raised its head high and let out a long neigh!
Qi Jiguang pulled out the spear from the saddle of the horse with his left hand, pulled out the long sword at his waist with his right hand, and waved a cold light: "Kill the enemy!"

The roar immediately resounded in the vast mountains, and countless soldiers rushed out of the dense forest like lightning!

Amidst the shouts of killing that shook the sky and the sea, Qi Jiguang led the horse team to the Japanese pirate team on the beach in the first place!
Immediately afterwards, a large group of infantry soldiers holding spears, knives and shields rushed from the three sides of the mountains to the beach!
Jusanro Inoue quickly pulled out the Japanese sword and shouted (in Japanese): "Team! Team!"

All the Japanese pirates hastily pulled out their Japanese swords!

Some Japanese pirates raised their firecrackers!
The well-trained Japanese pirates quickly formed a battle formation!
Qi Jiguang's cavalry, the troops all over the mountains and plains quickly rushed to the Japanese pirate battle formation!

The people who were taken captive were all in a mess and started to run away in all directions, but the direction of the runaways was not in the same direction, and they fell down one after another on the beach while being tied up by ropes!
Qi Jiguang's horse came galloping like lightning, and shouted loudly: "The people of Daming lie down on the spot!"

Immediately behind him, the cavalry soldiers shouted in unison: "The common people lie down!"

The captive people soon fell to the ground.

Shisanro Inoue raised his Japanese sword and shouted (in Japanese): "Kill!" He galloped his horse to welcome Qi Jiguang who was galloping forward!

The Japanese pirate cavalry followed closely with swords and galloped away!

The Japanese pirate team also rushed over with their knives!

The black cloaks and black horses of the three soaring horses galloped straight towards Qi Jiguang who was galloping with a gun in the shape of an arrow. Shisanro Inoue grasped two Japanese swords tightly, the long knife slashed at the tip of Qi Jiguang's gun, and the short knife stabbed at Qi Jiguang's horse's head!

Qi Jiguang's long spear shook like lightning, and the cluster of red tassels where the tip of the gun was connected to the barrel suddenly turned into a cluster of tassel flowers the size of a bucket!Inoue Shisanrou's eyes were full of red at the moment when the long knife and the tip of the spear collided, and the short knife in his right hand lost the direction of stabbing, that is, in a flash like lightning, his left shoulder was hit hard by the front of the gun barrel. Suddenly, the person fell to the right!

The two horses of the chief general passed by each other, and the horse teams on both sides were in close combat!

Shisanrou Inoue is a master of Japanese pirates. When he fell down, he clung to the saddle with his feet, threw away the knife in his left hand and grabbed the horse's mane, and clung to the right side of the horse. He even stabbed a knight on horseback who was galloping towards Qi's army while leaning on his body!

Qi Jiguang's spear tip shook left and right, and he had already picked off three Japanese pirates on horseback one after another!

Horse teams fight at the forefront of the beach.The infantry of Qi's army also surrounded from three sides of the mountains.

A row of Japanese pirates knelt down on one leg in a semicircle at the front of the battle formation, raised their firecrackers and fired at the same time!
The flames shot out from the muzzles of the guns. The infantry of the Qi family army who rushed to the front obviously had deployed their shields at the same time, and the gunpowder sprayed in a fan shape was almost all sprayed on the shields, and countless flames burst out!In the gaps between the shields, the spearmen of Qi's army rushed out, stabbing the musketeers of the Japanese pirates with their spears almost at the same time, and the Japanese pirates screamed and fell down!
The brigade of Japanese pirates behind the Japanese gunmen roared and charged towards the spearmen holding Japanese swords!At this time, the spearmen knelt down on one leg side by side, and the tips of the spears formed a sharp line of defense, all pointing obliquely at the Japanese pirates who were rushing to kill them. The coming Japanese pirates squeezed towards the tip of the gun.

——Countless long spears pierced the Japanese pirates rushing forward, and the spear points passed through the backs of many Japanese pirates, and those Japanese pirates were actually strung on the barrels of the guns!

At this moment, the blunderbuss behind the shield rang, and then the pirates who rushed forward fell down again under the light of the fire!The spearman quickly drew out the spear that penetrated the Japanese pirates, and they all stood up again, rushing forward, and the shield swordsman immediately followed them and entered the Japanese formation.

At this time, the soldiers of the fifth battalion and the sixth battalion formed a battle formation that had rushed around the captive people. While fighting the Japanese pirates, they formed a circular battle formation to tightly protect the people lying on the beach.

A general shouted: "The people of Daming untie the rope! Run to the other side of the mountain!"

Countless people got up, some untied the ropes, some still ran towards the mountain.

After rescuing the common people, Qi Jiguang, who led the cavalry to gallop in the Japanese formation, decided to end the melee. He pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "Join the mandarin duck formation!"

The shield players, spearmen, and waist sword players who were scattered in various places quickly formed a square team with three shields, three long spears, and three waist swords with the soldiers around them. Immediately, the soldiers on the beach Countless square teams of nine people appeared!The shield blocked the Japanese sword, the long spear pierced the Japanese body, the waist knife protected the wings and the rear tail, one by one square teams killed groups of Japanese pirates who were still fighting loosely from all directions!

The battle formation of the Japanese pirates was in chaos, and the Japanese pirates were knocked down one by one.

——This is the mandarin duck formation of the famous Qi family army!

Thirteen Inoue, whose braids were already disheveled, shouted hysterically (in Japanese): "Back! Back!"

A large group of Japanese pirates waved their Japanese swords and began to rush back towards the warships by the sea!
Qi Jiguang held his sword high on the horse: "Fire the cannon!"

The cannon on the Japanese boat rang!Groups of artillery fire fell on the beach, stopping Qi Jiguang's army from chasing the Japanese pirates on land.The Japanese pirates on the beach quickly ran to the boat on the coast.

Qi's army's guns have been set up.Qi Jiguang shouted: "Fire the cannon! Hit the boat!"

The cannons in red sprayed out a large group of flames, and immediately several Japanese pirate boats were blown up and flew to the sky above the sea!

There were still many small boats rowing to the warship of the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates boarded the boat one after another.

The guns on the Japanese pirate ship were still shooting towards the beach.Some soldiers of the Qi family army fell under the artillery fire.

The gunners adjusted their gun positions to aim at the big ship of the Japanese pirates.

Qi Jiguang lowered his sword-holding hand: "There are civilians on board! Stop firing cannons and retreat!"

The big ship started to sail towards the deep sea, and Qi Jiguang and his officers and men watched helplessly as the looted people on the big Japanese pirate ship were crying loudly.

The cannons on the Japanese pirate ship were still spraying artillery fire, some were blown up on the beach, and some had already landed in the shallow sea, splashing water jets soaring into the sky!
Although Qi's army did not rescue all the captured people in this battle, it severely damaged the morale of the Japanese pirates. At the same time, they also practiced tactics such as the "Mandarin Duck Formation" that will go down in history...
