Chapter Fifty-Six: Soldiers Approaching the City
When the soldiers and civilians of Taizhou City saw another Japanese army camped outside the city, they became nervous again.
At this time, the city defense layout of Taizhou City was: Zhang Gan guarded the east gate, Lu Yong guarded the west gate, Ma Jun guarded the south gate, and a deputy general guarded the north gate.
The next day, the Japanese general Bai Xiang left a thousand Japanese soldiers to guard the barracks. He led two thousand Japanese soldiers out of the camp to the east gate, arranged them in a square formation, and called a formation under the city.
No matter how much the Japanese soldiers scolded the formation, Zhang Gan refused to leave the city to fight.
Huang Dajie and Cuiqiao came to the east gate to investigate the Japanese army. Huang Dajie saw a large area of Japanese swords under the city, and he was frightened.
Cuiqiao said calmly: "Sir, there are not many Japanese troops coming, so there is nothing to worry about."
When Huang Dajie heard what she said, his morale was boosted. He visually estimated that there were only about 2,000 Japanese soldiers shouting at the city.
Huang Dajie said confidently: "We have 4,000 officers and soldiers and 3,000 militiamen in the city. The Japanese army cannot attack without 10,000 people."
After Huang Dajie inspected the east gate, he went to inspect the militia. Qi Ying was very happy to see Huang Dajie coming.
Huang Dajie asked: "The Japanese army has arrived at the city. How is the training of the militia?"
Qi Ying replied: "Don't worry, sir, the militia is already capable of combat and there will be no problem in going to the battlefield."
Huang Dajie said happily: "That's good, the coach has lived up to his expectations."
Qi Ying said happily: "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Cuiqiao wanted to know the details of the militia, so she interjected: "Sir, just take a look at the militia's training results."
Huang Dajie nodded and said: "Yes, take a look."
So Huang Dajie said to Qi Ying: "How about the instructor show the effectiveness of the militia training?"
Qi Ying ordered: "Yes, sir."
By this time, military uniforms had been spun and weapons forged, and they had all been distributed to the militiamen.
The militiamen were dressed neatly in military uniforms and holding sharp spears. They were divided into nine square formations and marched neatly into the training ground.
Qi Ying stood on the round platform, waving bright flags with both hands to order the formation to move forward. Behind him stood Wang Yuejiao and several drummers. Wang Yuejiao and the drummers stared at the flags in Qi Ying's hands and beat the war drums.
The militiamen's formations are neat, their steps are consistent, they can be square or round, they have unity and division, and they can follow the command of the flag and move without chaos.
The first thing to appear is the square formation, which is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The square formation moves forward, left, and right in a consistent pace without chaos.
Next up is the circular formation, which is static inside and moving outside. The interior of the circular formation is staggered and rotating without any confusion.
The third one to appear is the numerical formation. The distance between the formations is small, the movement is orderly, and the weapons are densely packed.

And it can stretch freely, and the front and rear can flexibly help each other.
The fourth one to appear is the cone formation, which is a battle formation with a forward like a cone. This formation has a sharp and fast forward and strong wings, so that the elite forward can attack the enemy in a narrow front, break through, and split
The enemy's formation, with two wings to expand the results, is a forcible assault formation.
The grand finale, the wild goose formation, the crane wing formation, the fish scale formation, etc. were also on display.
The training effect displayed by the militiamen was very good, and the scene was spectacular and mighty.
Huang Dajie was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the militiamen could be trained by Qi Ying to such an effect. He was so happy that he said: "Instructor Qi really didn't let me down."
Cui Qiao also didn't expect that the militiamen could be trained by Qi Ying to achieve such teamwork effect. She was shocked and unknowingly glanced at Qi Ying.
She saw his heroic gesture of waving the imperial flag and sighed that he was such a handsome young man.
She thought to herself that if it weren't for the enemy team, maybe she would have fallen in love with him at this moment.
She admires her father Xin Wulang's intelligence and courage in her heart, and hopes to meet a young hero who can stand alone and make achievements.
She had noticed Hosuke Okamoto, Nansuke Okamoto, and of course Wang Chun, but none of them were satisfactory and they were not the ideal husband in her heart.
She suddenly discovered that Qi Ying was exactly the kind of young hero she admired in her heart. Unfortunately, she was not from the same camp and was destined to be a moon in the flowers on the other side, unable to start or achieve results.
The fire of admiration that arose in her heart was immediately extinguished by her. She put her face back, and her handsome nose exuded bursts of sadness. Slowly, her eyes showed murderous intent, and she wanted to regard Qi Ying as her first-class opponent.
Already.
Huang Dajie returned to the office with great joy, praising him all the way: "Instructor Qi really did not disappoint me. This soldier is well trained."
Cuiqiao was speechless all the way. After returning to the government office, she said softly, "Sir, I'm tired today and want to go back to my room to rest early."
Huang Dajie was slightly startled and said with concern: "Okay, I will bring you dinner later."
Cuiqiao smiled and said: "No sir, I'm not hungry. You can have dinner early. I can't eat with you tonight."
Huang Dajie sent Cui Qiao into the house and said with concern: "Baby, go to bed early if you are tired. I will ask someone to prepare soup and keep it on the stove. You can eat it directly when you wake up and are hungry."
Cuiqiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir."
After Cui Qiao entered the house, Huang Dajie closed the door and left, going to the dining room to have dinner. These days, Cui Qiao had been eating with him, which made him feel like home.
Cui Qiao went to bed early tonight. He picked up vegetables and ate alone. Looking at the table full of delicious food, it tasted tasteless. He took two bites

I put down my chopsticks, losing my appetite and unable to eat any more.
He suddenly realized that he could no longer live without her. Even if they were not together for just one meal, he would feel worried that he would lose her.
Another day the sun rose in the east, shining golden light on the east gate wall. The Japanese soldiers got up early and scolded the formation at the east gate.
Zhang Gan, who was guarding the east gate, was woken up. He was so angry that he yelled at the city: "This is not enough for people to live. You come to me every day. Why don't you go to the west gate and the north gate? How did I, Zhang Gan, offend you?"
, can’t you guys change the curse formation in another door?”
Bai Xiang heard Zhang Gan's cry and laughed: "We have so few soldiers, don't you dare to come out and fight? You are really cowardly."
Zhang Gan felt that the masked man was right. There were only two thousand Japanese soldiers in the city, so it was okay to go out to fight once. He thought about asking Qi Ying and Ma Jun to go out to fight together.
In the morning, Huang Dajie got up early and waited for Cui Qiao to have breakfast with him. A servant came over and reported: "Sir, Cui Qiao said she is ill and can't get up today."
Huang Dajie was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly ordered: "Go and invite the doctor quickly."
Huang Dajie hurriedly went to visit Cui Qiao and found that Cui Qiao's face was red. He touched her forehead with his fingers and felt slightly hot. He said anxiously: "Ah, my baby has a fever. This is serious."
Huang Dajie paced back and forth at the door, waiting anxiously for the doctor, and complained: "Mr. doctor, why don't you come yet? If you don't come, I will make you go to jail."
Cuiqiao heard Huang Dajie's worry, sat up, put on her coat, and said softly: "Sir, I'm fine."
Seeing Cuiqiao sitting up, Huang Dajie entered the room and said with concern: "Don't get up, dear, be careful of catching a cold. The doctor will be here soon."
Cuiqiao smiled and said, "Sir, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare last night that scared me."
Huang Dajie asked in surprise: "What nightmare?"
Cuiqiao suddenly shed tears and cried: "I dreamed that on my wedding day, the Japanese pirates came in from the east gate, woo~"
After hearing this, Huang Dajie became furious and cursed: "Damn Japanese pirates, come here to scare my baby."
Cuiqiao said: "After I was woken up, I was worried that the nightmare would come true, so I couldn't sleep well. When I woke up in the morning, I felt uncomfortable."
Huang Dajie found the cause of the disease and comforted him: "Baby, take good care of your health. Just leave the Japanese pirates to me."
The doctor came over, pulled the rope and felt her pulse, and said: "The girl has been sweating due to overwork and has caught wind and cold. She needs to rest for a few days."
The doctor prescribed the medicine. Huang Dajie went to get the medicine himself and stayed in the dining room to supervise the servants as they prepared the medicine.
