Chapter 608: Disastrous Defeat

"Stop!"

Fifty meters away from the village entrance, the Japanese general waved his hand and signaled the army to stop.

The Qi general did not object.

This time, he led much more people than the Japanese general, but the real commander was the Japanese general.

"Let the soldiers go into the village to check!" The Japanese general said to someone behind him.

He was a Wufeng pirate.

There are many Dasong people among the Wufeng pirates.

After being with the Japanese for a long time, they also mastered the Japanese language.

This time, he was sent to be responsible for translation.

Hearing this, he relayed the words of the Japanese general to the Qi general.

Nodding, the Qi general pointed out ten soldiers to enter the village.

Not long after, the soldiers came back, "Captain, the village is empty."

The Qi general and the Japanese general looked at each other and felt a little strange.

But the soldiers did not find any other situation, so they led the army into the village.

When they entered the village, they were preparing to further explore.

At this time, a Japanese soldier who was exploring the north came running hurriedly, pointing to the north of the village and said, "There is an army coming to the village."

The Qi general was shocked when he heard this, and he said to the Japanese general, "It must be the army of the King of Yan. I'm afraid they have discovered our whereabouts."

"How many people are there?" the Japanese general asked.

"We are almost there, only a thousand people, but they have two hundred cavalry."

The Japanese general pondered for a moment, and said, "It's just in time, let them see the power of the flintlock rifle now."

Then, he looked to the west, "The soldiers said there is a threshing ground to the west of the village, we will line up there and wait."

After that, he led the Japanese soldiers to the west and arrived at the threshing ground.

This is a large area of ​​flat land.

When harvesting food, the people would transport rice and wheat here for threshing.

It's not the autumn harvest yet, so there is nothing here, just a piece of expanded land.

At the same time, the royal army also discovered the Qi army.

Originally, they wanted to enter the village directly.

Seeing the Qi army lined up in the threshing field, they went directly into the rice fields, formed a tight formation, and approached the Qi army.

The commander this time was a lieutenant under Qin Shan, named Zhang Tang.

He picked up the telescope and observed the Qi army for a while, and frowned slightly.

The soldiers of this Qi army all held flintlock rifles in their hands.

There was also a conical flat bayonet in front of the flintlock rifle.

"Interesting." Zhang Tang narrowed his eyes slightly.

In addition to the flintlock rifle, the Qi soldiers also formed a tight formation, pointing their guns at them. They were naturally familiar with this formation.

"I really don't know how to write the word death." Zhang Tang showed a disdainful expression. These were all the things they had left over, and they dared to show off their skills in front of Yanzhou.

Raising his hand, he ordered 200 cavalrymen to be divided into two teams, marching on the left and right sides.

The 800 soldiers in the middle formed a horizontal line, confronting the Qi army tit-for-tat, and advancing slowly.

When they were 150 meters away from the Qi soldiers, Zhang Tang asked the soldiers to stop and raise their rifles to aim.

This distance of fighting was the order of General Chang Wei, which seemed to be to confuse the enemy.

At this moment, the Japanese general was waiting for the Yanzhou army to continue to move forward.

When they stopped at 150 meters, he was stunned.

He just thought that the Yanzhou army was temporarily adjusting, so he didn't think much and continued to wait.

When the Yanzhou army entered a distance of 100 meters, they would shoot.

But they were obviously wrong.

Suddenly, he found a burst of fire in front of him and a large amount of white smoke.

Before he could react, he heard a burst of "swoosh" breaking through the air.

The Qi soldiers holding flintlocks were splashed with blood, and one by one they fell to the ground.

"How is it possible!" The Japanese general was dumbfounded.

"Bang bang bang..."

The shooting of the royal army continued, and the Qi soldiers in a tight formation became their live targets.

Another round of shooting, the Japanese general finally reacted, he shouted to the soldiers, "Move forward immediately and shorten the distance between the two armies."

Under his order, the Qi soldiers and the Japanese soldiers formed a tight formation and walked towards the Yanzhou soldiers under the bullets.

"Bang bang bang..."

The soldiers of the palace were still as still as a mountain and continued to shoot.

Eight hundred soldiers were divided into six horizontal teams by Zhang Tang, three horizontal teams formed a team, each team had more than one hundred people.

During the shooting, the advancing Qi army kept falling, but there were soldiers behind to make up.

Zhang Tang was slightly surprised, these Qi soldiers learned the line formation a bit.

Seeing that the Qi army kept moving forward, Zhang Tang naturally judged their purpose.

He asked the soldiers in the first three rows to complete three rounds of shooting, and immediately passed through the soldiers in the last three rows to retreat.

The soldiers in the back row stepped forward and fired three more rounds.

After the shooting, they also retreated a distance, and kept distanced from the Qi soldiers.

In this way, Qi kept moving forward and they kept retreating, always keeping a distance of more than 100 meters.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Another round of shooting, and there were less than 500 Qi soldiers left.

At this time, more than half of the Qi soldiers were killed or wounded and finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.

The Qi soldiers and the Japanese soldiers holding flintlock rifles fled in all directions.

"Kill!" At this moment, the cavalry on both wings roared, raised their sabers and rushed out, they were responsible for the final finishing.

The Japanese general rode his horse, without looking back, and ran towards the territory of Qi.

Only more than 40 Japanese soldiers were left running wildly behind him.

The confidence they had when they came turned into deep fear at this moment.

The soldiers of the King of Yan could actually cause casualties to them from a distance of 150 meters, which was more advanced than their flintlock rifles in Japan.

This was completely unexpected for him.

In the future, they must take the rising King of Yan seriously.

Otherwise, once the King of Yan unified Dasong, the situation they faced in Japan would be very dangerous.

Entering the village, he continued to walk south along the path in the village.

At this moment, a rope suddenly jumped up from the ground in front of him.

His warhorse was unable to react in time, was knocked down by the rope, fell to the ground, and threw him out fiercely.

Just as he was about to get up, he saw a soldier in armor coming out of a haystack on the roadside, holding a small hammer and hitting him hard on the head.

"Bang!" The hammer fell on his helmet, and he felt dizzy and passed out.

The villagers hid in the tunnel, but they kept passing information through the tunnel.

After the royal soldiers arrived, they were very confident. Under the leadership of the head of the security guard, they entered their respective positions and cooperated with the royal soldiers at any time.

Now, the Qi soldiers were defeated by their royal soldiers and ran all over the village. It was time for them to attack and catch the deserters.

For a while, the whole village was full of the screams of deserters.
