"Boom boom boom"

The seven bowl-mouth blunderbuss lined up in front of the formation were fired, and countless rubbles were pushed out of the blunderbuss tubes by the explosive gunpowder in the medicine chamber and flew forward in all directions.

The bowl-mouth gun itself is designed mainly for water warfare. Although it can also shoot shotguns, the effect is not very good.

However, on the battlefield here, the distance between the two sides is only more than ten meters. Even if the target is not accurate, the hit rate is not low. Moreover, the shotguns are not accurate in the first place, and they all hit them head-on and face-to-face.

The reason why the elite Japanese pirates who were rushing forward were rushing forward now was because they saw that the gunmen had retreated and there was no shooting angle, so they felt safe.

But when they rushed closer and saw a few lonely soldiers squatting in front of the formation, they discovered that there were actually several small cannons in front of them, with their muzzles facing them.

As Japanese pirates roamed the sea, they had naturally seen a lot of firearms. Whether they were from the Ming Dynasty or from the Western Barbarians, they all knew how powerful they were.

Instinctively, these Japanese pirates began to dodge, trying to avoid the muzzles of those cannons. Although they knew very well that if the cannons were fired at this distance, the opponent was probably going to fire shotguns, but there was no way they could do it. .

The opponent's gunner has started to run back, and the opponent must have lit the fuse.

At the moment when the gunfire sounded, many people who were running in front of the Japanese pirates fell down, but it is not known how many of them fell down due to being hit by shotguns or actively lying on the ground to avoid them. .

At this time, the Japanese pirates were very close to the Ming army's formation. The rumbling sound of the cannons directly made the ears of both warring parties roar, and they were a little deafened for a while. Not only the hearing of the ears was slightly affected, but the sight also became There's a little blur.

However, the Ming army obviously had the experience of listening to artillery, and it only stalled for a short time and then returned to normal. However, on the Japanese side, a large number of ferocious gangsters rushed in front, but many of them failed to do so. Stand up again.

"Duan Da, shoot the first few, shoot them to death."

There was another loud shout from behind the Ming army formation. It was Wei Meng giving orders to the archers hidden in the formation.

Obviously, as long as the fierce Japanese pirates are shot to death, it is equivalent to knocking out the courage of the Japanese pirates. For the Japanese pirates who follow behind, without courage and no other advantages, the battle will be easier to fight.

After the seven bowl mouth guns were fired, more than 20 Japanese pirates fell down on the opposite side. However, seven or eight of them seemed not to be hit by shotguns, but took the initiative to lie down to avoid the shells, and now stood up again.

But just as they stood up, they looked up and saw a flash of light in front of their eyes. Then they either felt a sweetness in their throats or a severe pain somewhere in their body, and then fell to the ground again. At this time, these Japanese pirates could feel the vitality. is losing.

Most of the elite Japanese pirates at the front fell down, and the only two or three people left were isolated in front. The people behind had not yet rushed up, and for a moment they didn't know whether to continue rushing forward or wait a moment. of accomplices.

However, the archers on the Ming army would not give them this chance. Then there were dozens of inaudible sounds of bowstrings, and dozens of arrows flew out from the Ming army formation, shooting at the remaining few. The Japanese pirate is still standing.

The Japanese pirates who reacted quickly knew that they were being attacked by Ming army archers. They hurriedly dodged left and right and waved their weapons to block. At the same time, they could only bite the bullet and continue charging. Only by rushing into the Ming army formation could they avoid being endlessly targeted. attack.

The Ming Army's military formation was not very wide, but Ming Army archers seemed to be hiding in every corner of the military formation. Arrows were constantly shooting from the left, center and right directions. Several Japanese pirates who had escaped the previous two attacks were unable to escape. , fell down one after another a few steps in front of the Ming army's formation.

At this time, the Japanese pirate group was still about ten steps away from the Ming army's formation. When they saw all the elite members of the group in front lying down, the impact on them was instantly magnified.

Of course they knew what these people had gone through before. The sound of the cannon was so loud, how could they not hear it?

The few remaining people still had arrows stuck in their bodies, and some of the Japanese pirates who were still alive were still struggling and wailing on the ground, causing the arrows on their bodies to sway.

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

I don't know which soldier in the military formation was very smart. After seeing the Japanese pirate group's momentary confusion, he decisively raised his weapon and shouted loudly.

As the soldiers shouted for victory, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty beside the soldiers were also quickly infected. As the soldiers shouted together, it soon infected the entire military formation. Except for the soldiers in the first two rows, they held up their shields and held their spears to guard against the Japanese pirates. With the impact, the entire military formation let out a uniform shout.

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory"

The Ming army suddenly gained an astonishing momentum, which made the Japanese pirates who had already rushed forward hesitate a little, slow down their pace one after another, and became a little at a loss.

The Ming army's military formation was very tight at this time, and soldiers were closely together without any gaps.

Such a formation made these Japanese pirates unable to find loopholes for a while and did not know which target to attack.

Wu Zhankui noticed the change in the momentum of the soldiers when they shouted in unison, and he quickly understood the slow performance of the Japanese pirates as they rushed closer.

The soldiers beside him only had horn horns and a small drum, but they didn't care much at this time.

Ordinarily, when the two armies are facing each other, the louder the drum, the better the morale boosting effect. But if you don't have a big drum, you can only do it.

Wu Zhankui knew that Qianhu Station actually had two war drums in the warehouse, but he didn't bring them with him when he came out this time, because usually only the commanders of the guards would carry those things. For Qianhu like him, there was no need to bring them out.

But now, he realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.

"Drumroll, march forward."

Wu Zhankui did not regret not bringing the war drum out, but gave orders loudly and with great enthusiasm.

This army has been practicing for more than a year, and its marching formations have been practiced very skillfully. Whether it is setting up a formation, attacking or retreating, it can ensure a tight formation.

It was also because he had seen the effect of the military formation during the drill in Zhenjiang that Wu Zhankui felt that as long as his current group of soldiers could bring out the best in the drill and move directly towards the current wave of Japanese pirates, it might be the last thing that broke the camel's back. straw.

The Japanese pirates are already weak.

Wu Zhankui would not give the Japanese pirates a chance to find loopholes in their side, so the formation would march forward bravely, using the momentum of the military formation to oppress them and crush them.

As the "advance" order was passed among the soldiers, it soon reached the ears of the flag officers in the front row. A series of passwords were issued, and the small drums at the back of the formation were beaten desperately. With the drumbeats, the Ming army's formation Start moving forward step by step.

The sword and shield players formed a dense formation, with shields next to shields, and a long spear between the shields pointed straight at the Japanese pirates in front.

The entire army formation began to advance without hesitation.
