The Japanese pirates' snake formation was just like a poisonous snake, extremely ferocious and venomous. After discovering the weakness of the simplified Mandarin Duck Formation, which was rigid in distance and weak in rear defense, they held on tightly, using this as a breakthrough point, and rushed forward fiercely, frantically strangling the simplified Mandarin Duck Formation on the city.
For a time, the Japanese pirates, who were outnumbered on the city wall, gained the upper hand.
"Yoshi! That's it! A two-legged sheep is a two-legged sheep. No matter how hard it struggles, it will only be meat in the cooking pot!"
Heihachiro, the Japanese pirate leader who was supervising the battle at the foot of the city, clenched his fists excitedly when he saw that the Japanese pirates on the city had the upper hand.
The dust from Jingnan’s collapse is about to settle, and there is no more suspense.
Jingnan!
Oh!
Another Daming county has fallen at his feet! Daming is nothing special!
Heihachiro confidently inserted the Japanese sword into the scabbard, squinted his eyes and looked down at Jingnan County, with a smug grin on the corner of his mouth.
"Kill him!"
The Japanese pirates shouted and rushed forward. The Japanese pirates below the city also continuously climbed up the city wall using ladders, human ladders and flying claws to supplement and increase the number of Japanese pirates on the city. The Japanese pirates' advantage was constantly expanding.
"Brothers, hold on. Our parents, wives and children are outside the city!"
The young and strong civilians on the city wall had red eyes and gritted their teeth to hold their ground, but the young and strong civilians in the back row were no match for the Japanese pirates' head and tail. They were caught by the Japanese pirates and broke through the back row. From time to time, the young and strong civilians on the city wall fell under the Japanese pirates' snake formation.
Zhu Pingan noticed that the Japanese pirates used the back row of the mandarin duck formation as a breakthrough point, and he couldn't help but frowned and carefully observed the battle situation. After observing carefully for a while, Zhu Pingan found that it was not the Japanese pirates' snake formation that broke the simplified mandarin duck formation on the city, but the Japanese pirates' personal fighting power was better than the young and strong people in the back row of the mandarin duck formation on the city. After noticing this, Zhu Pingan's brain worked rapidly, simulating and deducing in his mind... ...
If the authentic Mandarin Duck Formation was equipped with weapons such as Teng Shield, Wolf Spear, and Tong Palladium, it would not be afraid of the Japanese pirates' Snake Formation at all; or if one gives oneself more time to train, the simplified Mandarin Duck Formation on the city would not be afraid of the Japanese pirates' Snake Formation either.
However, the reality is cruel. There are not so many ifs, only cruel reality: the Japanese pirates' snake formation showed its power, used the back row of the mandarin duck formation as a breakthrough point, rushed forward fiercely, and madly attacked the mandarin duck formation, and the defense on the city was shaky.
Back row! The Japanese pirates' snake formation used the back row of the mandarin duck formation as a breakthrough point, not the front row... ... The front row of the simplified mandarin duck formation had shieldmen and spearmen working together, and the Japanese pirates' snake formation could not break the front row of the simplified mandarin duck formation's shieldmen and spearmen, and instead was beaten to a bloody pulp by the front row... ... The back row of the simplified mandarin duck formation had two long swordmen, and the tail of the Japanese pirates' snake formation relied on their own bravery to single-handedly defeat the two men in the back row of the mandarin duck formation, and still had the upper hand, so they used the back row of the simplified mandarin duck formation as a breakthrough point.
Since the Japanese pirates could not break through the front row of the Mandarin Duck Formation, why not merge the two Mandarin Duck Formations head to tail into one Mandarin Duck Formation? After the merger, the Mandarin Duck Formation would have shieldmen covering both ends, making it impossible for the Japanese pirates' snake formation to break through the Mandarin Duck Formation. Although the number of Japanese pirates on the city continued to increase, the majority of people on the city wall were still on our side. Merging the two Mandarin Duck Formations into one would be enough to encircle and kill the Japanese pirates' snake formation on the city.
Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!
feasible!
"The head to the tail, the tail to the head, the two groups become one! Shield bearers, take cover!"
After thinking about this, Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he gave orders to everyone without hesitation, commanding the young and strong men on the city to change their formation.
"The county magistrate has ordered: the head to the tail, the tail to the head, and the two groups together as one! Shield bearers, please take cover!"
Liu Dadao, Liu Daqiang and others followed suit and shouted, and in a moment Zhu Ping'an's order spread throughout the entire city wall.
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's order, the young and strong people on the city wall immediately carried out it without hesitation. The two adjacent simple version of the mandarin duck formations were combined together head to tail and tail to head to form a fat version of the mandarin duck formation.
"One group will be killed, two groups will be killed, two-legged sheep are still two-legged sheep no matter how many there are! Kill! Kill! Kill! Don't spare any of them!"
Seeing the young and strong men on the city changing their formation, the Japanese pirates on the city did not care. They thought that their snake formation was invincible. They raised their Japanese swords and howled, and rushed forward as fast as ever, rushing madly towards the fat version of the mandarin duck formation, intending to kill all the young and strong men on the city in one go.
I have a snake formation, unrivaled in the world!
They had the confidence that in previous field battles, they formed snake formations and butterfly formations, and were often able to kill the Ming troops in the garrisons, not to mention the civilians who were temporarily conscripted to defend the city.
"I'm dying!"
A snake-headed pirate from the snake formation of the Japanese pirates rushed towards the back row of the mandarin duck formation with a ferocious roar. His standard bird language and bald topknot indicated that he was a real Japanese. Judging from the bamboo and wooden armor on his body, his status and position among the Japanese pirates was not low. The figure of this real Japanese was as fast as thunder and like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he jumped to the back row of the fat version of the mandarin duck formation and drew his sword to kill them the moment of contact.
Sword drawing technique!
He was a foot soldier under the command of a ruined lord in Japan. After his lord was annexed by a powerful feudal clan, he was forced to start wandering and became a wandering samurai. He learned this sword-drawing technique from a master during his wandering. During his five years as a wandering samurai, he relied on this sword-drawing technique to protect himself in a wandering life full of intrigue and the law of the jungle, and killed many hostile wandering samurai. In the actual life-and-death battles, his sword-drawing technique became more and more perfect, and he performed it more and more fiercely.
He had just joined the ranks of the Japanese pirates this year. As soon as he entered the group, he won the favor of the leader Heihachiro with his sword-drawing skills and was appointed as the leader of the 100-man team.
A gentleman will die for his friend!
Heihachiro trusted me, and I will conquer Jingnan to repay Heihachiro.
He accompanied Heihachiro in the first two sieges but did not participate. After the Japanese pirates failed in two sieges, he volunteered to join this siege, determined to conquer Jingnan and repay Heihachiro's trust.
Since climbing the city wall, he has fought bravely and fearlessly, and with his sword-drawing skills, he led his snake formation to defeat two simplified mandarin duck formations. He personally killed five young and strong civilians, and his body was covered in blood, like a devil crawling out of hell.
The mandarin duck formation in front of him was the third mandarin duck formation he had faced. Although there were more people, he was confident! He was confident that he could easily break through this mandarin duck formation, just like he had broken through the previous two.
Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
Swish!
He leaped to the back row of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and at the moment of contact, he drew his sword with his backhand. A flash of white light appeared, as fast as thunder. Before the young and strong people on the opposite side could react, they were beheaded.
Blood splattered! The head fell to the ground!
The formation was broken again!
Shinwa showed a ferocious smile. The art of drawing the sword is not just about drawing the sword. After drawing the sword, there are follow-up attacks such as slashing, stabbing, etc. Once the sword is drawn to kill someone, the situation is set, and the follow-up attacks are unstoppable and no one can escape.
Zhenwo grinned confidently, and with the power of a kill, he chopped at the young and strong people nearby and launched a follow-up attack.
"Bang!"
A shield appeared and blocked Zhenwo's fatal sword.
"Baka!"
Zhenwo cursed loudly, drew his sword, turned in another direction and stabbed.
"Bang!"
Another shield appeared and blocked Zhenwo's thrust.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" At the same time, four long spears poked towards the real Japanese pirates. There was no technical content, but the four long spears blocked the four directions of the Japanese pirates.
The real Japanese were fierce. Instead of retreating, they advanced. They twisted their body to avoid two spears, chopped one spear off with their Japanese sword, stretched out their other hand to grab the fourth spear, and bravely pulled the young man with the spear out from behind the shield. They kicked the young man in the chest in the air, kicked him onto the shield behind him, and knocked the shield-holding man to the ground.
"I'm dying!"
The real Japanese shouted and killed ferociously, and rushed towards the gap with swords.
"Bang!"
Another shieldman behind the formation raised his shield and pushed forward, blocking the real Wo again.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
After the shield blocked Zhenwo, the four archers in the formation also reacted and aimed their bows and arrows at Zhenwo. The other spearmen and short swordmen in the formation also attacked Zhenwo from the formation, attacking him from all directions.
The real Wo was brave and fought left and right, but he only had two hands after all, and he was alone. Finally, a spear broke through his defense and pierced his shoulder. Then, long swords, spears, and feather arrows covered his body.
A gentleman will die for his friend!
He did it!
Once the real Wo died, the snake formation behind was no match for the fat version of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and they were soon stabbed and chopped to the ground, ending their sinful lives.
