"Light the fire! Fire! "
Wang Hui roared, and 10 of the Fraunhofer Autocannons roared to life. The Japanese troops on the other side exploded in a shower of sparks, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere. The Japanese troops on this side were once again destroyed. A few of the Japanese light infantry who were lucky enough to survive raised their weapons similar to Daming's spear and charged forward fearlessly. Wang Hui immediately shouted: "First team! Raise your guns! Fire! "
After more than a hundred gunshots, all that was left on the other side was a field of corpses.
Wu Weizhong's face and body were covered in black stains caused by the gunpowder. Other than his white teeth and two white eyeballs, it was hard to tell that he was a human. If he was thrown into a pile of coal, he would probably be thrown into a boiler and burned along with the coal. That was the situation. However, since the start of the battle, he had already defeated the Japanese troops 12 times, and killed at least 2000 Japanese soldiers.
According to Xiao Ruxun's plan, they would use the shield formation to protect the soldiers. First, they would attack the Japanese with a barrage of cannons. Then, the crossbowmen and gunners would be the second wave of long-range firepower. If the Japanese were too many to deal with, then the Zhejiang soldiers and the Shandong gunners would be able to display their prowess.
The Japanese were not weak in combat, and their fighting spirit was commendable as well. At least, they had obtained Wu Weizhong's approval. Without a unified command, they would often be defeated by a barrage of cannons, and then a barrage of cannons. In the end, the remaining group still dared to charge forward bravely under the leadership of an officer.
However, they did not know that when it came to close combat, the Zhejiang soldiers were not afraid of the Japanese pirates. They were here for close combat, and none of the soldiers that Qi Jiguang brought would be afraid to fight the Japanese pirates in close combat.
The firearms and crossbows didn't have enough time to take care of this group of pirates, so the sword and shield bearers worked together with the gunmen. As soon as the Wokou got close, two rows of gleaming spears pierced through the gaps in the shield formation. In an instant, the entire row of Wokou pirates was pierced through. They pulled out the spears and stabbed again, pulled out and stabbed again. The Wokou pirates were bleeding profusely, and their corpses piled up like a mountain. Some pirates even stepped over the corpses of their comrades and charged forward. The sword and shield bearers immediately moved their shields away and brandished their swords. At this point, the gunmen had also finished reloading their ammunition.
Wu Weizhong immediately gave the order to push away the Japanese pirates' corpses, and the army continued to advance, stepping on the flesh and blood of the Japanese pirates.
This was how an army with firepower support fought. Luo Shangzhi's troops, who did not have much firepower support, just happened to run into a light team that also did not have any firepower support. Under Luo Shangzhi's order, the nightmare of the Japanese pirates twenty years ago, the Mandarin Duck Formation, reappeared.
The tall and strong wolf-like soldiers swept the Japanese pirates to the ground with a move that could wipe out a thousand troops. The palladium and gunners behind them followed up to assassinate them. Those that could not be swept away would be chopped down by the knife and shield soldiers. The gunners and palladium borers would enthusiastically add on a blow to send them to the next world.
The long and hard wolf-like wolf-like soldiers with sharp spikes became the light team's nightmare. They could not even touch these Ming Army soldiers before they would be hit by the wolf-like soldiers. They would either be swept to the ground and quickly stabbed to death by the gunners and palladium borers, or they would be stabbed. The stab wounds were painful and itchy, and it was obvious that they were poisoned. Once their minds were in a mess, there would immediately be knife and shield soldiers eyeing them like tigers watching their prey brandishing their swords and chopping off their heads.

Luo Shangzhi was not in the formation. This burly man was born with great strength and was known as "Luo Qianjin" in the army. His two machetes were waved at the acme of perfection. He was full of murderous intent, as if he alone could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies. Roaring like a tiger, the Japanese people would die if they touched him. A Japanese pirate officer's neck was chopped in half by Luo Shangzhi, and then his head was torn off by Luo Shangzhi. Blood spurted out like a well. Luo Shangzhi was bathed in blood like a devil. For a moment, the Japanese pirates were terrified. Luo Shangzhi, on the other hand, became more spirited and more capable of fighting. He led the army to kill fiercely. The light team, which was several times the size of the Ming Army, was unexpectedly defeated.
The various divisions of the Ming Army progressed smoothly. Two-thirds of the city of Pyongyang had been smoothly controlled by the Ming Army. Nearly ten thousand Japanese pirates had been killed. The remaining Japanese pirates gradually gathered at the corner of the East Gate to make their last desperate resistance.
The rumbling of the cannons shook the earth. Li Rusong and Nurhachi, who had chosen an ambush location thirty miles away from Pyongyang, were shocked.
"How many cannons did this Xiao Ruxun bring? How can they be so powerful? This city of Pyongyang is definitely going to be taken! Who would have thought that the Japanese chief would be captured alive at the start of the battle? The Japanese pirates in the city have no commander. It's hard not to be defeated. " Nurhachi seemed to be somewhat emotional as he said, "Dalang, this Xiao Ruxun is really not simple. He has a series of interlocking stratagems. The Japanese pirates have been completely toyed with by him. He won this battle beautifully. His prestige is no longer the same as before!"
Li Rusong snorted coldly. He no longer looked at Pyongyang. Instead, he looked at the cavalry that was rushing over from afar. He frowned. Soon, the cavalry arrived in front of him. He dismounted and knelt on one knee, saying, "General! This is bad! For some reason, the Japanese pirates that have come to reinforce us have stopped advancing. It seems like they are going to retreat! "
Li Rusong and Nurhachi turned pale with fright.
"What? Retreat? Why aren't they coming to reinforce Pyongyang? "
"For some reason!"
Li Rusong frowned. He looked at Pyongyang, then at the distance in front of him. He made up his mind, "How far are the Japanese pirates from me?"
"About twenty miles!"
Li Rusong calculated for a moment. He decisively mounted his horse and shouted, "Nu 'er! Gather the entire army! Pursue with all your might! "
With that, Li Rusong took the lead and rushed out. Nurhachi was depressed. He mounted his horse and shouted, "Attack!"
The Jurchen cavalry followed Li Rusong and charged forward.
It was not that Otomo Yoshitsune, who was stationed at Fengshan, did want to help Pyongyang. In fact, this morning, he had received an order from the family of the commander-in-chief of the army, Yukita Hideka. He was ordered to lead his troops to support President Little Nishi in order to guard against a sudden attack from the Ming Army. He had led his troops forward. However, when he was still fifty miles away from Pyongyang, the earth-shattering rumbling of the cannons made him tremble in fear. The Japanese soldiers under his command also looked at each other in horror.
There was only one thought left in Otomo Yoshitsune's mind — the Ming Army is attacking the city! That giant Daming has started to attack Japan!
Speaking of which, Otomo Yoshitsune was definitely not a man of extraordinary courage. However, he was still knowledgeable. When he heard the earth-shattering sound of the cannons, he knew that his men, who claimed to be five thousand, were actually only two thousand men. They were definitely not a match for the Ming Army. If they went over, they would only be throwing their lives away. He and President Little Nishi were not friends who had gone through life and death together. There was absolutely no reason for him to throw his life away to save President Little Nishi.
Thinking of this, Otomo Yoshitsune ordered his troops to stop advancing. He began to ponder the gains and losses of this matter.
If President Little Nishi died, it would be fine. He could simply say that he could not save him in time and could only retreat. However, if President Little Nishi did not die and found out that he came to save him, what should he do? That drug dealer was as narrow-minded as a needle. If he knew about this, wouldn't he kill him?
What should he do?
Otomo Yoshitsune hesitated in a daze for about fifteen minutes.
Just these fifteen minutes completely ruined his path of survival. Because just as he made up his mind to escape, the ground suddenly shook. Otomo Yoshitsune and his soldiers were surprised. While they were puzzled, a group of black things suddenly appeared on the horizon not far away. Otomo Yoshitsune's eyes were not very good. He squinted and looked, and his eyes slowly widened.
