The sudden change in the hall was beyond everyone's expectations. Who could have thought that the Japanese pirates were knocked unconscious by the Peacock Tail Sleeper, and the Zhejiang Army still had an absolute advantage in manpower. Such a good situation was actually reversed!
It happened very quickly and suddenly.
One or two sentries went in to provide support, and the situation seemed to be stabilized. However, a few breaths later, several pale-faced, panic-stricken Zhejiang soldiers shouted "The wind is strong" and fled.
There is a first day and there is a second day. After these Zhejiang soldiers fled, many Zhejiang soldiers followed closely and fled.
Suddenly the situation in the hall was reversed.
The Japanese pirates took the opportunity to chase after them with their swords in hand. The Zhejiang army, who were afraid of fighting and fleeing, ran headlong into the Zhejiang army's formation that was ready for battle outside, seriously disrupting their formation. The Japanese pirates who were chasing them took the opportunity to rush in.
Nao Nabeshima and Sanbanro Matsuura took the lead in the charge, and plunged into the Zhejiang army's formation like two cones, slashing with their swords without any reservation, intending to break through the Zhejiang army's formation and break out.
As long as we break out, the sky is high and the sea is wide, the Ming army will be unable to do anything to us! Then we can hide during the day and travel at night, sneak along the seashore, set sail into the sea, and report back to Feiqian. With the results of this investigation, we will lead the army back in the future, and we will be able to plunder the Ming Dynasty with ease. At that time, we must avenge this blood feud!
When their lives were at stake, Naoio Nabeshima and Sanbanrou Matsuura burst out with fighting power far beyond their usual level.
The two took advantage of the chaos in the Zhejiang army's formation and swung their Kusanagi swords and long swords like hungry tigers pouncing on a flock of sheep. The cold light shot forward and blood splashed everywhere, killing the cowardly deserters and the Zhejiang army in the front who were in chaos and screaming. The Zhejiang army in the front was immediately terrified and involuntarily wanted to retreat, and even began to take action... ...
The Japanese pirates would die if they didn't fight hard, but they wouldn't die if they didn't fight hard, so there was a world of difference between the two in terms of fighting spirit.
When it seemed that the Zhejiang Army at the front of the team was about to collapse and flee with the previous defeated soldiers, Liu Dadao, Liu Mu, Ruo Feng and others stood up, stood out from the crowd, and fought against the Japanese pirates such as Naoko Kojima with swords in hand.
"Shield soldiers, line up at the top. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy! Bring all the archers and muskets over here!"
Zhu Ping'an waved his sword and shouted, and immediately ordered the formation to be adjusted to prevent the Japanese pirates from breaking out.
If we let these pirates break out, we won't be able to claim full credit! Our achievements will be greatly reduced!!
Achievements are secondary. If these Japanese pirates are allowed to break out, the morale of the anti-Japanese forces will be severely hit, the Japanese threat will become more severe, and the common people will be even more unfortunate!
In today's battle, the Zhejiang Army exposed even more problems. Despite advance planning and a favorable situation, they were still forced into this situation by the Japanese pirates! The Zhejiang Army must be reorganized! Of course, this must be overcome after they get through this hurdle and destroy this group of Japanese pirates first.
Soon, the Zhejiang army put up shields in the front, and bows, crossbows and muskets were also mobilized.
Zhu Ping'an commanded the shield soldiers to form a semicircular formation, surrounding the Japanese pirates, and the archers and gunners were also ready to go.
The situation has stabilized again.
However, since Liu Dadao, Ruofeng and others were engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese pirates, it was difficult for them to shoot arrows or fire guns.
The battle situation is very tense at the moment.
The Zhejiang Army in the front row was first thrown into disarray by the fleeing soldiers, and as soon as the battle began, several of them were chopped down by Japanese pirates such as Naoko Kobe. They were so frightened that they avoided the battle and dared not engage. Only a few brave men like Liu Dadao stepped forward to fight the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates fought desperately, and Liu Dadao and his men were a little overwhelmed, especially Naoko Kobe and Sanbanrou Matsuura, who were born as samurai and had practiced killing since childhood. They had been fighting in Japan for years, and their combat power was top-notch among the generals. Although Liu Dadao and his men were far more brave than ordinary people, they were still a little behind Naoko Kobe. What's more, Naoko Kobe and Sanbanrou Matsuura fought desperately, and Liu Dadao and Liu Dachui worked together to resist the violent Naoko Kobe. Liu Dachui also suffered a lot of injuries in his waist and abdomen. Naoko Kobe even had some strength left. After fighting with the two, he also killed a Zhejiang soldier, which made Liu Dadao very angry.
Wakafeng fought against Matsuura Sanbanro, but after three rounds he was no longer able to defeat him and was almost beheaded by Matsuura Sanbanro with a single sword. Thanks to Liu Dadao's timely support, he blocked Matsuura Sanbanro's sword at the critical moment and saved Wakafeng's life.
Liu Daqiang and Liu Dagang did make some achievements. They joined forces to fight against the Japanese pirates. After a few rounds, they severely injured one of them. After all, not all Japanese pirates are as fierce as Naoko Kobe and Sanbanrou Matsuura!
However, the overall situation remains not optimistic.
However, it was enough for Liu Mu and his men to stabilize the situation. The shield was set, and the Japanese pirates could not escape even if they had wings!
In order to avoid too many casualties and also to prevent any unexpected events from happening, Zhu Ping'an shouted to Liu Dadao and the others, "Dadao, Ruofeng, all of you, form a formation and retreat, and try to break contact with the Japanese pirates."
"Shield soldiers, get ready. Archers and gunners, aim at the pirates. As long as one
Get out of the battle, shoot arrows and muskets."
Zhu Ping'an then gave orders to the Zhejiang troops, believing that under the simultaneous attack of thousands of arrows, no matter how brave and skilled in fighting, the Japanese pirates would be killed on the spot.
Liu Dadao and his men followed orders, tried to retreat, and tried their best to break contact with the Japanese pirates. However, Naoko Kobe and his men also saw the situation clearly, and they had been in Taiming for a long time, so they could understand Zhu Ping'an's orders, and knew that once they broke away from the battle, the Ming army would surely cover them with arrows and cannons, and even if they were extremely brave, they would not be able to escape death.
So they kept harassing Liu Dadao and others, and changed their positions from time to time to prevent the Zhejiang army's sneak attacks.
However, Liu Dadao and his men were determined to escape the battle, slowly retreating, moving closer together, waiting for an opportunity to form a two-man or three-man formation. Once the three-man formation was formed, it would be difficult for Guodao Zhennan and his men to continue to entangle. If they continued to entangle, there would be more gaps, as the feather arrows and fire guns of the Zhejiang Army were not vegetarian.
"Baga!"
Yinbi Zhenjie was extremely angry. He had traveled thousands of miles since he landed in Ming Dynasty, fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and all the enemy Ming troops fell under his Japanese sword. He did not expect that he would be forced into this situation by this group of cowardly and insidious Zhejiang troops. His great plan was not accomplished. Was Naoko Kojima going to die here today?!
No, no, my fate is not determined by God!
Like a trapped beast, Naoko Kojima began his final counterattack. The pressure on Liu Mu and the others increased sharply. After Liu Dachui took a blow from Shin'ao Kojima, blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably, and it was obvious that his internal organs were seriously injured.
"General, retreat back to the house quickly, otherwise it will be too late to retreat. Once the Ming people shoot arrows, we will have no way to resist." Matsuura Sanbanlang shouted loudly in Japanese, "There are still many frightened Ming soldiers in the house who have not had time to run out. Go in and hold them hostage, and force the Ming people to let us go!"
"Yo! You are worthy of being the third officer! Quick, retreat back into the house! Take hostage the Ming army inside!" Upon hearing this, Naoko Kobe's eyes suddenly lit up and he gave the order decisively.
The Japanese pirates obeyed the orders. As soon as Nabeshima Masao gave the order, they swung their swords to force the Ming people back and rushed into the hall.
Unfortunately, Zhu Ping'an also understood Japanese. When Matsuura Sanbanro shouted, Zhu Ping'an knew the Japanese pirates' plot. Before Naoko Kojima gave the order, he shouted to the people in the house, "Zhejiang troops in the house, listen to my order, close the door quickly! Close the door quickly!"
So, they won half a second. In that half a second, when Nabeshima Masao and others were about to rush into the hall, the door of the hall slammed shut.
Naoko Nabeshima and others bumped into the door, causing it to slam shut and tremble. The Zhejiang army behind the door screamed in agony.
The door was opened wide!
If the Japanese pirates hit this door again, it will definitely be scrapped.
Unfortunately, they never had the chance again.
As early as when the Japanese pirates turned around and rushed towards the hall, Zhu Ping'an had already ordered the shooting of arrows and firing of muskets.
The distance was less than three meters, so there was no reason why the Zhejiang Army could not shoot accurately even if they were weak!
The moment the Japanese pirates were blocked by the door, their sinful lives came to an end. Arrows and bullets rained down on them, turning them into hedgehogs and sieves...
Although Naoko Nabeshima and Sanbanrou Matsuura were both very brave, they were not exempted and were given special care, with feather arrows stuck all over their bodies, like porcupines...
