Of course, Mrs. Qi didn't expect that, and she trained these useless people into elite soldiers overnight. If that could be true, her husband wouldn't have to train his subordinates to death.
But she is now the guardian of the city, occupying a great advantage and has complete defending weapons. As long as she practices these guys to be obedient, she can play a certain role even if she doesn't shoot, shoot arrows, and pushes wooden and rocks under the city.
And if you take a step back, the city walls are filled with armor, and the other party will be worried enough. As long as you encounter a little setback, you will think of retreating because they will subconsciously think that the city has sufficient troops and is difficult to break.
The next morning, the Japanese pirates who had been busy all night carried the ladders they had built overnight and prepared to attack. When they took down the prosperous Suzhou City, they were surprised to find that there were flags on the top of the city, and the sound of killing was shocking. The soldiers wearing neat armor were mostly muskets, crossbows, and the small cannons of the Franchise. It made people frightened to see.
At this point, the Japanese pirates stopped and looked at the leader behind him, a guy wearing Japanese samurai costume, with a short figure and a big head, who looked like a ghost. Although they were not afraid of death, they would still not do anything like an egg hitting a stone.
The big-headed ghost angrily said to a man sitting in a wheelchair beside him, who was shrouded in a black robe, "Lu Sang, didn't you say that all the soldiers in the city were transferred to Taihu Lake?"
The man in black in the wheelchair was Lu Ji, who Shen Mo had never found. Although he escaped by chance in Zhouzhuang, he found that he had become a stray dog ​​with nowhere to go. He did not reflect on why he fell into such a field, but added a lot of resentment to Shen Mo, believing that all his misfortunes arose because of this person.
He also knew that he had no hope in the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to join the Japanese pirates. In fact, he had already cooperated with the Japanese pirate leaders, and his level was not low, Xu Hai's partner, Shingoro, the Shingoro of the World.
The batch of silk Huang Jin was robbed by them in a group, which shows that the cooperation between the two sides has been more than a year.
Of course, with his arrogant personality, even if he wants to surrender to the enemy, he cannot go in shame. He has to prepare a huge letter of fame so that they dare not underestimate themselves. He almost doesn't have to consider it. He then focused his eyes on Suzhou, which is rich in the world, and eliminates personal emotional factors. In this paradise on earth, the attraction of many Japanese pirates is great enough.
If it weren't for Cao Bangfu first and Yu Dayou, who stood guard for Suzhou like a door god, Xu Hai and the others would have robbed Suzhou for a long time! Now it was time for Suzhou to be convicted for no reason, Yu Dayou was dismissed and taken to Beijing for trial. His navy, who had "overly defended and inadequate progress", suddenly had no leader and his morale was depressed, which made the Japanese pirates see the opportunity to capture Suzhou City.
So when Lu Ji's invitation was passed to Xin Wulang, the two sides hit it off and began to prepare for the offensive in a intensive manner. In order to show his ability, Lu Ji did not hesitate to mobilize all his old capitals and pushed the loyalty he had trained to the top. One of the leaders was called Tuesday. He asked these people to pretend to go to Wujiang to participate in the group training, and then took the opportunity to fan the flames and fool the "evil young heroes" to kill officials and rebel. Then he mobilized the defenders of Suzhou City.
He also provided Xin Wulang with a safe and hidden marching route. When the Qi family army was temporarily paralyzed and the coastal defense line was no longer tight, it was a dog traitor with a familiar terrain and deep connections. This was possible.
As a result, Xin Wulang, with more than 2,000 Japanese pirates from his direct line, rushed to Suzhou day and night. He wanted to pick up a peach on the ground, but he saw a fully armed hedgehog!
"Impossible" Looking at the city full of soldiers, Lu Ji neighed: "Suzhou Cheng has only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and now they are all wandering around Taihu Lake. Suzhou should be an empty city!"
"What is in the city?" Xin Wulang pointed at Cheng Tou and said, "Are the straw man? It's too realistic." As he said that, he smiled, obviously not thinking so.
"Eighty-mostly ordinary people, wearing military clothes is actually no different from a scarecrow." Lu Ji said with a voice: "If you don't believe me, try attacking me." Otherwise, what if the traitors are the most hateful, they can always guess what their compatriots think.
General Xin Wuro was skeptical, but he couldn't stay here forever, so he called a samurai and ordered him to organize an offensive to test it.
The warrior, who was dressed like a butterfly, drew out the samurai sword and led five or six hundred Japanese pirates and carried the ladder to the city.
Halfway through, the bowstring on the top of the city sounded, and a sharp arrow broke through the air. Before the warrior could react, he was shot through his throat and fell to death on the ground.
Although Lu Ji could guess what his compatriots were thinking, he could not guess the female compatriots who were guarding the city, who were stronger than Mulan, and I am afraid that only Mu Guiying, who was taught by the gods, could be compared with him. He shot the leader with one arrow to death, and Concubine Qi kept shooting out with one arrow. Each arrow would definitely shoot down a Japanese pirate, causing cheers on the city.
The leader died, and the little leader with the samurai sword fell one after another. The other Japanese pirates hesitated, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. At this time, a sparse bow and arrow, as well as muskets and small cannons fired in the top of the city. Although the hit rate was pitiful, they were defeated by the dense and overturned twenty or thirty Japanese pirates. The remaining Japanese pirates rushed to the bottom of the city, and were about to set up a ladder, but were pushed down by the rolling oil and the rolling wood that fell down from the city. They smashed the falling flowers and water, and then left thirty or forty corpses. They ran back in a mess.
Cheers broke out from the city, but Xin Wulang's next year was as green as a cucumber. He was sure now that the city was full of regular Ming troops, although they were all negligent in the battle formation and poor skills, most of the Ming troops had such virtues, and there was nothing strange about it.
"Lu, your intelligence has been wrong." Xin Wulang glared at Lu Chengji and said, "I only have more than two thousand people here, and I can't defeat this heavily guarded city."
"Then you have to wait here." Lu Chengji said slowly: "The Ming army reported the news at this time, it should have arrived in Taihu Lake. Shen Mo and the families of the officers and soldiers are all in the city, so they must have rushed back in a hurry. Once our ambush works, he will bring Shen Mo's head to the city. If the city loses hope, he will naturally be defeated without a fight." Xin Wulang heard this, and felt that there was something wrong with it, so he agreed: "Okay, surround him and not attack."
He ordered his subordinates to bluff and act like they were trying to attack the city, but in fact they were not close to the shooting range on the city. That night, Lu Chengji's inner responders in the city also tried to attack the city gate from inside, but they were all ordinary people who were more capable of fighting, and they were no different from those servants and servants who were temporarily exiled to military service.
Moreover, those servants have been bullied by Concubine Qi, and their anger has accumulated and their mentality is approaching the brink of losing control. When those insiders hit the city gate, they suddenly realized that the opportunity to vent their anger has come!
The result was very miserable. More than 200 Lu Shengji's inner support was surrounded by ten times their servants. One of them kicked with more than a dozen feet, and there was no time to kick it? As a result, it was not only completely wiped out, but also thrown down from the city. The next morning, the Japanese pirates got up and saw, hehe, why are there so many dead people? Knowing that the plan to steal the door failed, they were more at ease waiting for the silence of the friendly forces to come and meet again, and then find a way to attack the city.
The conversation was divided into two parts, and Qi Jiguang persuaded Chen Si and did not rush back to reinforcements, but sent scouts to fight every step to avoid being ambushed by Japanese pirates.
The reconnaissance distance he sent to the scout was twenty miles. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, every fifteen to twenty miles he would be ordered to stop and rest. Their caution was enough to drive any Shangguan crazy.
But Chen Mo said nothing. He just looked silently and comforted the anxious officers and soldiers. Suzhou City actually had arrangements and didn't have to worry about the safety of his family.
This unreserved trust moved Qi Jiguang very much. He asked Chen Mo privately: "Why do you believe me so much?" Chen Mo looked at him and smiled and said, "Because you are Qi Jiguang." This is the truth. If someone else was in command, Chen Mo might have been crazy long ago. However, since the other party has only produced a famous general for five hundred years, trusting him seems to be the right choice.
But in Qi Jiguang's view, silence is "not doubting people, no doubting people, no doubting people," and I can't help but be moved and deeply impressed. For silence, this is an unexpected gain.
Facts have proved that the reason why famous generals are called famous generals is because they can always make the right choice - at noon the next day, the scout reported: "The common people reported that Japanese pirates had appeared on Jilong Mountain thirty miles ahead since yesterday!"
"How many people are there?" Qi Jiguang asked.
"The Japanese pirates have entered the forest, and we can't investigate." The scout replied: "But there are signs of ambush on both sides of the mountain roads."
"Map!" Qi Jiguang shouted softly. Then a soldier unfolded the most detailed and accurate map of Suzhou. He found the mountain, looked at the nearby terrain and pondered.
After a while, he looked up and said to Chen, "Sir, we may encounter the main force of the enemy." As he said, Jilong Mountain said, "Since the enemy really set up an ambush, we must know our background. The mountains in Suzhou, which will send enough troops, are too short and peaceful. For the ambushing side, the advantage is not as obvious as the mountainous areas, so they have to use more troops to dispatch more troops according to the previous strength of the two sides. They sent at least four or five thousand people to complete this annihilation battle." He paused and said, "Of course, there may be more." He froze to death and laughed at the poor and friendly hand.
"What are you going to do with Brother Yuan Jing?" Chen Mo asked softly.
"Get a plan." Qi Jiguang pointed to Fenghuang Mountain near Jilong Mountain and said in a deep voice: "Set an ambush here, lure them over, and fight them back."
"Didn't you say that the geographical advantage is not very useful?" asked Chen Silently smiled.
"If you don't know it, you still have some psychological effects." Qi Jiguang looked at his subordinates and whispered: "I don't have confidence in them yet. This is their first real battle. If you can, try to get some favorable conditions."
The disadvantage of away games is that you are sold by local people at any time to the Japanese pirates who are ambushed on Jilong Mountain. Under the leadership of Xu Hai's younger brother Xu Hong, you have been lurking for more than a day. You think you are hiding well and you cannot be discovered by the Ming army.
This time, he brought the Xu family's direct lineage, and the three thousand Miscellaneous Army. During the battle, the Miscellaneous Army rushed forward first, dispersed the opponent's strength, and then the direct lineage then picked up weak links to attack. Finally, when the opponent dispersed, the Miscellaneous Army followed him to pick up the bargain and beat the water dog. Such a "perfect" combat method made him disdain the ambush of the Ming army. The reason why he hid there was just to avoid being exposed and it would be bad to attract other Ming troops.
So when he saw a Ming army hurriedly passing through the mountain road and looking towards Suzhou City, he took his subordinates out without hesitation.
The Japanese pirates who were all over the mountains rushed out. The Ming army's reaction was fast. Those who had passed the pass ran forward, but those who had not passed the pass turned around and ran backward. It was completely like "each flying when the disaster came."
Xu Hong looked down on the Ming army even more, so he urged his subordinates to chase and kill them, so that they could end the battle as soon as possible and turn back to Suzhou City to Xiaoyao. He was froze to death and laughed at the poor and his friends beat him with his hands.
Thinking of the endless and prosperous Suzhou City, Xu Hong felt heat all over and shouted excitedly: "Ducks give it to me." When he heard the rich command of the second master, his subordinates ran even more happily. He chased the deserters who turned around and ran out of Jilong Mountain and ran to the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, which was close to the neighbor.
Qi Jiguang's troops were hiding behind the Shangfeng Ridge of Phoenix Mountain, so he naturally would not be as arrogant as Xu Hong. Instead, he ordered each of his men to hold a bunch of pine branches. From a distance, he looked like a jungle, and there was no clue at all, avoiding premature exposure.
In the eyes, the Japanese pirates passed through the ridge half of the generals. Qi Jiguang took the lead in leaping the bow and arrow, shot a sound arrow, and knocked down a warrior in red and yellow cover! This sharp arrow also caused a sudden fire of muskets on Shangfengling, killing a Japanese pirate.
But this group of Japanese pirates deserved to be a long battle formation. After the initial panic, they quickly retreated out - but not escaping, but the whole team to meet the enemy!
The white smoke from the muskets fired scattered, and before the sound of killing came from the Shangfeng Ridge, it was Qi Jiguang who waved the order flag and urged his troops to rush down the mountain to attack the enemy.
When the Ming army rushed down, the Japanese pirates were not panicked. They were arranged in a neat row, with thirty people as a team, including a captain holding folding fans, wielding folding fans as a horn, commanding the Japanese pirates holding long and short swords. The Japanese pirates with Japanese bows were ready for battle.
A saying has long been circulated in the Ming army, to determine whether the Japanese pirates they encountered were elite or miscellaneous. Just look at whether there is a fan or not. If not, they will celebrate with their foreheads, and their morale will be greatly boosted. They will rush up to pinch soft persimmons; if there is, they will be silent and their morale will be depressed. If there is no absolute advantage in the number of people, they will definitely escape and will not dare to fight against them. They will freeze to death and laugh at the poor and have a friendly hand.
Because the person holding a folding fan is the commander of a formation - the Ming army calls this formation a butterfly formation! Every time the two sides fight, the Japanese pirates form this formation, and the captain waves the folding fan, and in a uniform manner. When the opponent is a little slow, they will suddenly turn the blade and cut it head-on. In an instant, a blade light is light, and the upper and lower parts are white, and no one is seen, and the opponent is already injured. Moreover, as the fan sways left and right, the Japanese pirates will jump left and right - in fact, they are approaching the opponent by going in the font of the font. Such a change makes the Ming army confused and just watches a wall of knife turn over and chop, and they will be killed and injured, and they have not yet come back to their senses. They cut a wall of knife from another direction.
Whenever this is the case, I can’t help but have no choice but to be able to compete. I can’t blame the Ming army’s grass chicken.
During wartime, they waved with the fan and flew like butterflies, the so-called "butterfly array".
As the elite among the pirates, these Japanese pirates not only formed formations, but also had only half a mile apart. A captain blew the conch as a trumpet and commanded the formations to fight together. The officers and soldiers who advanced in the Ming Dynasty could not deal with such elite surprise attack troops, so they made Xu Hai's reputation as "invincible".
However, no matter how powerful the formation is, it still has its flaws. After careful research by a genius, he discovered the weakness of the butterfly formation and created a brand new formation that can restrain the butterfly formation. He called it the "secret warfare"
The genius's surname was Tang, whose name was Shunzhi, and whose name was Jingchuan. He wrote it into his book "Wu" and passed the book to his nephew. His nephew's surname was Chen, Mo and his courtesy name was Zhuoyan, and he transferred the book to his general, Qi Jiguang.
After Qi Jiguang saw the book, he studied it carefully for several months, inherited it critically, and transformed a realistic and offensive formation called the "Yuan Duck Formation". But what is the effect? ​​It still needs to be compared with real swords and guns!
