Therefore, the total strength is 50,000 infantry and cavalry.

In addition, 20,000 farmers were recruited from the local area.

When the enemy appeared, they sent 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry to fight.

It is impossible to dispatch a large number of troops at the beginning.

It consumes too much.

Moreover, the battlefield cannot contain so many people.

People behind can only watch.

Therefore, multiple battlefields need to be opened.

Therefore, it is sometimes not a mistake to advance troops from multiple directions.

Instead, it improves efficiency and distracts the enemy.

Of course, it won't be useful if you encounter a strong opponent.

Maybe every path will be broken by the opponent.

This is the Battle of Salhu.

But now, after seeing their opponents, they directly formed a majestic formation.

If you want to play tricks and ambush, firstly, the requirements for soldiers are relatively high, and secondly, you must be familiar with the terrain.

They went on an expedition to Dongbai and were unfamiliar with this place.

Although we have stepped up our efforts to draw maps, it is still impossible to compare with the locals.

They may not be any more familiar with this terrain than the Japanese pirates.

Both sides are playing away from home.

Therefore, the best way is to use a majestic formation, use your own strength, combat effectiveness, and organizational advantages to crush them.

The Japanese pirates advanced menacingly.

They took the lead in sending an iron artillery team of 100 people to test and try to disrupt the Ming team's position.

At this time, a Ming general and deputy general saw the Japanese pirates approaching.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He immediately ordered the car formation to be set up.

Infantrymen guard the vehicle formation.

The cavalry was roaming outside, ready to attack at any time.

Of course, this 100-person team will not waste their energy.

If you do that, you will be scolded to death.

The difference between being elite or not is reflected here.

In the later period, when the Ming army saw the enemy coming, they began to panic.

Shooting guns indiscriminately, beating horses indiscriminately, and shooting arrows indiscriminately.

There is no war rhythm to speak of.

Naturally, the opponent will catch the flaw at once, such as the cooldown period of the musket, the exhaustion period of the horse power, and the exhaustion period of the archer.

This is a fighter plane.

On the battlefield, concentrate your advantages and attack the enemy's disadvantages.

It is always the unchanging law of war.

Give full play to your own advantages, including military strength, elites, organization, armor, logistics, and mobility. Whatever you have advantages in, you must give full play to them.

That’s why we need to know ourselves and our enemies.

If you don't know this information, how do you know you have the advantage?

But now the other party only sent a hundred people to test.

Naturally, the lieutenant general would not make a big move.

Instead, they sent out tiger crouching cannons and bows and arrows to attack the enemy.

This is naturally improved, but its range is still much shorter than that of a matchlock gun.

Generally, you can only hit 40 to 50 steps to be lethal.

The matchlock gun can still be lethal at 80 to 100 steps, but it loses accuracy and has to be hit in a row.

Whoever is fooled is who.

But the advantage is that it can shoot large scatters to prevent the opponent from getting close.

It just didn't work until later, because the craftsmen in the late Ming Dynasty were cheated too hard.

The weapons and equipment are all crudely made.

The Japanese pirates walked directly forward.

The Japanese pirate soldiers were all very aggressive.

But just halfway through, two Ming artillery guns opened fire first.

These are two optimized red cannons.

That is, the Western cannon.

It has a long range and has aiming equipment.

You can also change direction.

Two shots were fired, but of course they missed.

Passing over the opponent's team's head.

The next step is to change the coordinates.

The speed of one round in three minutes.

"Impossible, how could the Ming Dynasty's cannons be so well-made?" Konishi Masamune was shocked.

He is knowledgeable, and once he sees the collapse of the country, he is very skilled.

The artillery is also very elite.

Of course he didn't know that it all cost enough money.

A specially invited Western gunsmith.

The money given can fill a cellar.

Moreover, the cannons were inspected one by one by the supervisor of the Ministry of Works.

It can be said that such a waste of energy is unimaginable.

If you were to replace those administrators in the past, how could they do these troublesome things?

It will only be left to the craftsmen and officials.

Only if you are so serious about becoming a god for yourself, you would do this.

You must know that it is immortality and becoming a god.

Something that the Emperor of Qin, Han, Wu and Tang could not do.

They don't fool around.

They are all tested one by one in person.

The process is very strict.

Finally, it was brought to the soldiers for use.

That's why it can be made so well.

Soldiers are also willing to take careful aim.

Because I know that the cannon will not explode and the materials used are sufficient.

As long as the army is well-paid and well-equipped, Ming soldiers are invincible.

After the introduction of Western casting methods, Daming firearms were also quite advanced.

It can be said that this place in East Asia is not lagging behind.

Then the bow and arrow were thrown.

The Japanese iron gunner was beaten to death and wounded by a barrage of bows and arrows.

At this time, the range of iron cannons was not as far as that of bows and arrows.

Their iron gunners wear bamboo hats to protect themselves from arrows.

If the range is far enough, there is no need to wear this thing.

The Japanese pirate front wavered slightly.

The opponent's front is very stable.
