The city was covered with blood, but there was a desk that I got from somewhere.

Shen Mingchen and Wang Yin were writing quickly, Zheng Ruozeng and Mao Kun accompanied Hu Zongxian to watch the situation with a telescope, and commented from time to time.

Thick official documents were stacked on the stool and chair next to it, and two clerks were covering them with large seals.

"Prepare both hands." He Xinyin whispered to Qian Yuan who was climbing the city, "If Qi Yuanjing successfully defeated Xu Hai, and ordered Wu Weixi and Yuepu River to send troops to block it, Liu Xian had just sent a military newspaper and had led 4,000 soldiers to the north. If Qi Yuanjing did not support him, Liu Xian went south to help each other, if Qi Yuanjing defeated the Japanese, Liu Xian cut off Xu Hai's retreat."

Qian Yuan didn't say anything. He took the telescope handed over by Liang Sheng and looked carefully. The northeast direction was filled with smoke and dust, but he could see roughly clearly that the Japanese pirates should have rushed to the battlefield several times, but the Qi family army stood on the outpost and refused to retreat. The ground between the two armies was full of fallen corpses and discarded weapons.

Unlike Qian Yuan and Qi Jimei, Qi Jiguang's method of setting up a formation does not focus on concentrating troops to compete. The entire army is divided into five units: front outpost, left outpost, right outpost, back outpost, and central army. They are not far away or near, with the main body of the Mandarin Duck Formation, which scatters all over the mountains and fields, with a great momentum.

"The sound of gunfire just now?"

"It's a cannon." Mao Kun looked at Qian Yuan in surprise. This was common sense. Before the battle, he ignited the cannon to order the entire army.

Qian Yuan frowned and looked again, and vaguely saw dozens of generals riding horses under the Central Army's banner. The leader was holding a horse whip and shouting loudly.

"The Japanese pirates have rushed forward for two rounds." Zheng Ruozeng whispered: "Qi Yuanjing does not let the central army forward, but only forward the outposts and defend the left and right. Isn't it too careless?"

"Thousands of people on the outpost, guarding like a rock." Mao Kun licked his dry lips and said with a bare smile: "It's the same line as Zhan Cai."

It is rumored that Qi Jiguang learned military tactics from Qian Yuan... Well, neither Qi Jiguang nor Qian Yuan had ever admitted it. The former thought it was nonsense, at most it was just a wolf tooth, while the latter felt that it was shameless...

But the fact is that with the wolf teeth as a cover, Qi Jiguang and Qian Yuan's soldiers often have strong defenses when fighting, and have never been defeated by the Japanese pirates.

Hu Zongxian pressed the city wall with both hands, and his always stiff face couldn't help but show some tension. Judging from the combat power, Qi Yuanjing's command is not inferior to Qian Yuan, and Qi Jimei's command is more than a thousand soldiers. Hu Zongxian has visited Ningbo several times in the past few months and has praised Qi Jiguang's training... But on the battlefield, anything can happen.

"It's coming again." Mao Kun shouted in a low voice: "Is the whole army pressing over?"

Everyone looked at the black Japanese pirates squirming forward. At the front were hundreds of real Japanese wearing jackets but no trousers, dancing with long swords, and roaring and rushing towards them.

"Xu Hai's old tricks are used again." Zheng Ruo once judged this way, "Last year, he used the real Japanese to defeat Lu Tong's previous battle, and then followed up with three consecutive waves of Japanese pirates. Lu Tong was unable to transfer troops for a while, resulting in a big defeat."

Qi Jimei, who was standing beside her, nodded repeatedly and said yes.

Hu Zongxian, who looked closely with a telescope, soon discovered that the Japanese pirates were almost overwhelmed by the entire army, but they did not rush forward, but divided into several groups with clear boundaries. Each group of Japanese pirates was hundreds of, mainly concentrated in the middle. Once the outpost was broken, they could reach directly in front of Qi Jiguang's horse.

"Are the meal ready?"

The sudden question calmed the city. Wang Yin looked at Qian Yuan speechlessly. The ink dripped from his brush and dyed the letter paper dirty. However, Zheng Ruozeng, Mao Kun and Hu Zongxian had slightly moved their expressions, and they all understood Qian Yuan's words.

"Hmm?" Qian Yuan turned to look at Qi Jimei.

Qi Jimei opened her mouth and said the word "zongzi". The rumbling sound of cannons suddenly rang out, followed by the crackling sound of bird gun shooting.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the smoke of gunpowder blocked the outposts and could not see anything, but the hundreds of real Japanese rushing in front of the formation were like weak grass blown by the strong wind. Although the Japanese pirates behind were constantly walking, their momentum was greatly reduced and their morale was greatly depressed.

The drums gradually sounded in the central army, louder and more rapid. Qi Jiguang moved his horse forward, and the flag did not go straight to the sky, but tilted slightly forward.

In the outpost filled with smoke, a tall man in iron armor took the lead in the battle. He raised his sword and instantly killed several Japanese pirates. The front ends of dozens of wolf-toothed scepters stabbed out the gun smoke and faced the enemy head-on.

"It's Wu Weizhong!" Liang Sheng shouted in a low voice.

Hundreds of short spears flew out of the smoke, easily tearing the bodies of the rushing Japanese pirates. Then, a large number of soldiers holding various weapons stepped out of the smoke and set out in the whole team. In the front, there were sharp wolf teeth, rattan cards, shields, spears, palladium, and long swords.

Unlike Qian Yuan and Qi Jimei, the Qi family army's mandarin duck formation is more flexible. The captain only needs to command less than ten people around him, which is more efficient.

The wolf toothed squid and shield resisted the blade in the hands of the Japanese pirates. The spear, which was much longer than usual, stabbed the Japanese pirates easily.

Hu Zongxian on the top of the city was clearly seen through the telescope. While the central army was pressing against him, the two left and right sentries, which were not blocked by gunpowder, stabbed out diagonally like two sharp swords.

The stalemate lasted almost less than a stick of incense. The Japanese pirates had been squatting cannons in front of the formation and were riddled with holes in the bird guns. The official outposts rushed into the Japanese pirate formation effortlessly. Under the command of Qi Jiguang, the central army was bypassed from both sides and rushed into the Japanese pirate formation diagonally.

Although it was not going to collapse, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Japanese pirates were about to be defeated. Hu Zongxian pounded the city wall vigorously and shouted: "I heard that Liu Xian cut off the Japanese pirates' retreat, Wu Weixi and Yuepuhe sent troops to capture Hunfeng Town and Lihaisou."

Zheng Ruozeng added: "You can ask Qi Jimei to lead troops westward to capture Lianghu immediately."

"Not bad." Mao Kun nodded in agreement, "These days, Japanese pirates stationed in Lianghu, and Lianghu connects Cao'ejiang, Yaojiang, and Longshanhe to reach the distance between Hunfeng Town."

Qi Jimei looked at Qian Yuan and hurried out of the city. She muttered in her heart, in the words of her brother and sister-in-law, if you have climbed up with Qian Zhancai, then don’t get too close to the Governor, and don’t be too obedient.

From beginning to end, Qian Yuan's telescope was never put down. After five or six years of coming to this era, he finally saw the famous Mandarin Duck Formation in history.

The left scepter led the general Ding Bangyan to climb to the top of the hill. He glanced at him and divided the left and right teams. He personally led a team to rush straight north. The left and right spearmen mechanically stabbed out and retracted it. Ding Bangyan himself flew up and down, and in a moment he led the team into the Japanese pirates' central army.

At the same time, the right whistle general Chen Dacheng led his army to attack. The Japanese pirates who could not respond could neither escape nor resist it. They could only fight back with all their might, poking their swords in their hands towards their accomplices, trying to find a way out.

The left and right posts were about 200 steps away from the central army. They rushed forward and attacked from the flanks, causing the Japanese pirates to become a mess in a short period of time. In addition, Wu Weizhong was extremely brave and had killed several Japanese pirate leaders in succession... Xu Hai, who wanted to turn the tide, finally couldn't support it and led the rear army to retreat slowly.

The flag of the central army swayed, and a commissar ordered soldiers to move in and out. The left and right sentries left and right and left and right dropped the Japanese pirates' central army and turned into the three-talent formation, wolf-toothed slut, spearmen and short-soldiers were in the center, and the shield protected the two wings and rushed towards Xu Hai from both wings.

Qian Yuan on the top of the city wall noticed the change and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. It's so awesome. In such a situation, Qi Jiguang can still play micro-fuck!

Xu Hai, with a pale face, knew that if he turned around and ran away, he might not be able to escape, but he saw that the strength accumulated over the years was lost... If he ran away, nothing would be gone.

Xu Hai, who had a thousand five Japanese pirates in his hand, tried to fight and hurriedly commanded more than a hundred real Japanese to attack, but it was like a rushing flood hitting the fragile dam, and more than a hundred real Japanese disappeared without even rolling up a wave.

Unlike Qian Yuan who concentrated the bird guns to form a team, Qi Jiguang used the bird guns and tiger squat cannons in a concentrated manner, and also arranged bird gunners in the mandarin duck formation.

The left whistle only fired five or six guns, and the real Japanese pirates were in chaos. The Taizhou warrior Zhu Jue took the lead in breaking the formation and killed several Japanese pirates in a row. The right whistle launched an attack at the same time. In the chaos, Xu Hai led less than a thousand Japanese pirates to flee north.

Everyone on the city wall looked at this scene in amazement, from the battle between the two armies, to the defeat of the Japanese pirates, Xu Hai fled... ordinary people didn't prepare a lunch!

Zheng Ruozeng praised: "It is really as fast as the wind, as the forest, as the plundering as fire, as if it is not moving as the mountain. Qi Yuanjing is a famous general for a while!"

From defending the defense line calmly to attacking the firearms, the three armies on the left, center and right, breaking the formation in just two quarters of an hour, Zheng Ruozeng praised it so much.

Mao Kun, who was flushed, coughed twice, glanced at Qian Yuan at the corner of his eyes, and muttered: "It's a lineage..."

After hearing this, everyone either nodded in agreement or turned to look at Qian Yuan.

Indeed, Qian Yuan and Qi Jimei's soldiers had strong combat power, and could be called Xu Rulin, as if they were still as a mountain. From last year to this year, no Japanese pirates could break through the defense line head-on.
