The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 598: Battle of Taizhou - Mandarin Duck Formation
On the canopy

"boom!"

Fire suddenly broke out!

Balls of artillery fire were fired from the warships towards the shore.

Warships fired bursts of artillery fire.

Hit the opposite coast.

Amid thunder and flying gravel.

Countless small boats were released from the continuous warships.

The ship was loaded with Japanese pirates, and they rowed towards the beach with swords brandished and roaring.

When approaching the beach, a group of Japanese pirates jumped off the boat, stepped on the shallow water and rushed towards the beach shouting.

……

[In April of the 1562st year of the Jiajing reign in , the remaining troops of Wang Zhi launched a massive attack on the coastal areas of Zhejiang, with more than Japanese ships and as many as to Japanese soldiers.]

[This was the biggest military disaster Zhejiang Province had encountered since its establishment in the Ming Dynasty. The army at the forefront was the Qi Family Army, which had only been established for a year.]

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at the scene of artillery fire with a thoughtful look on his face.

This thing is a bit like a trebuchet, but it's different.

This thing is more accurate and has a faster firing speed than a trebuchet.

And then there is this sound and this spark...

Why does it look so much like an alchemy furnace?

……

Big man.

"If only you had this thing!"

Liu Bang slapped his thigh and said excitedly:
"Are you still worried that you can't defeat Xiang Yu?"

Lu Zhi was a little used to it.

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che sat upright for a while and then sat sideways for a while.

The whole theme is very gripping.

I want it so much!

With this thing, why should we be afraid of the Hun cavalry knocking on the pass?
The outcome is decided in one lightning-fast move!
Liu Che stroked his chin and pondered.

Should we explore the way to the west?
Where is this Portugal?
……

Datang.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng and fell silent.

Wei Zheng saluted with his hands crossed and was about to speak, but Li Shimin took the initiative!
"I wish to gather all the experts in the art of magic from all over the world."

Wei Zheng was stuck for a moment.

His first reaction was that the emperor should learn from the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor Wu, and then he realized that the emperor didn't need to learn from the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor Wu at all.

"Your Majesty, do you think this thunder cannon is related to alchemy?"

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng strangely.

Have you picked a name?
It’s quite vivid!

"What other people have you seen who can cause thunder and fire?"

Li Shimin twirled his beard and looked at the two people in deep thought, narrowing his eyes and saying:

"There must be some reason for this."

"The key to the matter probably lies here."

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the artillery in the sky, which was even more powerful than the one during the Song-Mongol War, and his eyes darkened slightly.

This kind of thing that could generate fire had already existed at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but it was not widely used.

After the Fifth Generation, this kind of thing became widely used, but it was only used in the form of poisonous smoke and caltrops, and its lethality was just so-so.

"It seems that this item will be the sacred weapon of the state in the future."

Development! We must develop vigorously!
……

[At this time, Qi's army fought many battles, but most of them were small battles involving hundreds of people. This was the first battle involving more than a thousand people.]

[In May, the Japanese pirates divided into several groups and attacked from the east. First, two thousand Japanese pirates deliberately sailed in the sea of ​​Shaoxing, and then they divided into groups to harass the coastal counties.]

[Then the troops were divided into two groups, one with 500 men attacking Xinhe County, while the main force of 2,000 men stationed outside Ninghai, waiting for an opportunity to strike.]

[Xinhe County was the rear base camp of Qi's army, where Qi's army's relatives and families lived, including Qi Jiguang's own wife and children.]

【The Japanese pirates thought that if they attacked this place first, Qi's army would surely come to the rescue, and then launch an attack after the main force of Qi's army was transferred away. The Japanese pirates made a very clever calculation. But Qi Jiguang was not afraid. He first sent 1,500 main forces of Qi's army to rush back to help, and annihilated 500 Japanese pirates outside Xinhe.】

【Seeing the Qi family army coming out in force, the Japanese pirates thought they had succeeded, and sent out 2,000 main forces to attack Taizhou. When they arrived at Huajie, the outer periphery of Taizhou, they found that they were facing 2,000 Qi family soldiers who were ready for battle.】

……

On the canopy.

Rows of Japanese pirates knelt on one leg at the front of the battle formation, raised their muskets and fired at the same time!
Flames spurted out from the muzzles of each gun.

The infantry on the opposite side lit up their shields at the same time!

The projectiles hit the shield and countless flames burst out.

Just when the Japanese pirates were about to move forward and attack again.

In the gaps between the shields, strange long weapons stabbed out at the same time!
This weapon has seven or eight "gun tips" protruding from the back.

The Japanese pirates who were strung on the "gun barrels" fell down one by one, wailing and screaming.

Behind them, a large group of Japanese pirates rushed forward with roars.

"boom!"

A chorus of noise!
The muskets behind the shields fired.

Under the firelight, a row of Japanese pirates fell again.

The Japanese pirates behind did not stop at all and continued to press forward from all directions madly.

"Set up a formation!"

A loud shout came from the Ming army.

The vertical rows of shields opened.

Two long strange weapons extended from the left and right.

Soldiers holding spears rushed out, with swordsmen protecting them on both sides.

Led by the shield bearers, the Ming army charged into the Japanese formation.

……

[It turned out that after rushing to help Xinhe, the Qi family army marched non-stop for 70 miles in the middle of the night to help Taizhou, and finally blocked the Japanese pirates in Huajie. ]

【Then attack and chase. 】

[The Japanese pirates were indeed resistant. They were first defeated, then they regrouped and counterattacked, then they were defeated again, then they counterattacked again, and were chased and killed by Qi's army for forty miles.]

[Finally, the Japanese pirates retreated to Baishuiyang, Taizhou, and were all driven into the river, with almost none of the 2,000 Japanese pirates left.]

[After this battle, Qi Jiguang achieved brilliant results in Taizhou area, including seven victories in land battles and five victories in naval battles.]

[In the seven battles, only three soldiers of the Qi family army were killed. ]

[The saying "You can't survive if you meet your relatives" spread like wildfire. ]

[Such a result is naturally due to the strong fighting power of Qi's army and Qi Jiguang's skill in using troops, but there is another reason that cannot be ignored.]

[The Qi Family Army's military formation - the Mandarin Duck Formation.]

……

On the canopy.

The shield blocked the Japanese sword, and the spear stabbed at the Japanese pirates.

With swords protecting the wings and rear, one squad after another attacked the scattered Japanese pirates from all directions!

The Japanese pirates were knocked to the ground one by one.

……

[The Mandarin Duck Formation consists of twelve people in a team, with the captain in front and two people following behind, one holding a long shield and the other holding a rattan shield.]

[The next two people hold wolf-shaped bamboo sticks, which are a kind of bamboo that grows in the south. They choose old and solid bamboos, cut the ends of the bamboos diagonally into a point, and leave sharp branches around them.]

[The next four men hold long spears, the next two use short weapons, and the last one is a fire soldier. They use long and short weapons alternately to form an indestructible organic whole.]

……

Liu Song.

"Use shields to protect yourself, use long and short weapons to attack, and you can attack or defend."

Liu Yu analyzed the Mandarin Duck Formation in the sky.

He carefully compared his own Queyue Formation, and finally admitted reluctantly...

"The core advantage of the Mandarin Duck formation is collaboration."

Maximize the teamwork energy and collaboration capabilities among soldiers.

An army with this kind of awareness can perfectly apply any battle formation!
They don't have to be restricted to a certain battle formation.

This is not about the superiority or inferiority in the battle formation, but the superiority or inferiority in the soldiers' awareness.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"A casualty rate of three to two thousand..."

Zhu Di was stunned.

This casualty rate is unprecedented!

This is not some clever trick, it's just using the majority to defeat the minority!

This is a head-on collision!

"Boss, did you see anything?"

Zhu Gaochi's face was solemn, and he replied in a deep voice:
"Dad, the various weapons in this formation have clear division of labor. Everyone just needs to master the operation of their own weapon."

"The key to effectively killing the enemy is overall coordination and strict compliance with orders."

"Qi Jiguang's theory has been realized in a concrete way."

"He's right."

Zhu Di nodded.

"This kind of battle formation, even if it's not the best in the world, is indeed rare."

"The key is that it is applicable to a wide range of areas."

……

[The Battle of Taizhou lasted for more than a month, during which more than 5,000 Japanese pirates were killed, and 69 soldiers of the Qi family army were killed.]

【At the same time, other groups also killed more than a thousand Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang were basically eliminated. 】

[In September, Qi Jiguang was promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief for his outstanding military exploits in the Battle of Taizhou and for benefiting the people.]

[The people of Liangzhe built a shrine to commemorate Qi Jiguang's achievements. ]
