Along with the shouts of killing from the Li family, the sound of fire cannons being fired quickly alarmed the entire Zhangjiawan town.
Because it was too early, the sun showed up, and most people were still asleep.
At this time, the shopkeepers of various shops kicked and beat the shopkeepers. Some anxious shopkeepers yelled: "You pigs who kill their heads and live short lives, why don't you get out of here? The Li Mansion is ruined and the thieves are in trouble."
, if there is something wrong with Li Mansion, watch your heads carefully."
Every shop is basically controlled by people from Donglin. Except for some small traders in the most prosperous wharf in the north, none of the good and profitable businesses can be done by people without a civil service background.
People with no background here can also make a living, such as the coolies on the docks, the itinerant street sellers, and street performers. But as long as the business is a little bigger, you must have a backer. This is almost open to the public in Ming Dynasty.
.
Even if you do small business, you will be extorted by gangsters. And gangsters who can gain a foothold in the local area must be protected by government officials. Otherwise, they will be finished long ago.
At this time, the whole town was boiling with people's voices everywhere, and every courtyard was full of people's voices.
"Hurry up, get dressed quickly, Li San, go to the warehouse and bring all the knives. There are a lot of thieves there."
"Hurry up, be quick with your hands and feet, load all the three-eyed guns, hurry up."
"Bring me my big gun and let these thieves see my majesty."
Groups of shopkeepers led their waiters out of various courtyards, gathered on the streets, and rushed towards Li's Mansion.
At the same time, the surrounding farms saw the thick smoke rising over Li's house, and they also struck their bells and rang their gongs.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
"Every family's strong men have gathered together at the threshing floor. They have spears and swords, and those who are good at archery have bows and arrows. The master's family is in danger of being invaded by bandits."
Under the contact of Kuai Ma, dozens of Zhuangzi were summoned by the martial arts instructors and the armor chiefs who had been arranged in advance in Zhuangzi, and they immediately took action to summon the strong men of the tenant farmers.
When we first rented the land, we agreed that the land rent would be reduced from 50% to 20%, but each family would have to provide a strong man to train during the off-season. The owner would be dispatched to rescue the family when something happened, and the thieves would need to be beaten.
Soon more than a thousand people gathered in the town. These people were not as well-equipped as the servants of the Li Mansion. They all brought their own weapons and equipment, which were naturally of various kinds. There were chainmails that could be worn inside, but there were no
It's just a piece of cloth.
It's not like the Guan Ning army in that battalion, which is equipped with Rumi guns and wears a full set of iron armor.
What they hold are all kinds of cold weapons. Basically, they use whatever comes to hand.
More than a thousand people marched along the early morning streets to Li Mansion.
Along the way, these people bowed and bowed to each other, bulging their bellies, rolling up their sleeves, shouting and rushing towards the Li Mansion without any queue.
In the distance, at the end of the street.
In the dark area, there stood a group of thin people. From a distance, these bandits were generally a head lower than the gangsters who were born bandits and horsemen.
But their clothes are neat, with black and brown as the main colors, and their family crests and various Chinese characters are painted on their chests with white paint. Exquisite Japanese-style armor is exposed under their cloaks, and Japanese swords are stuck at their waists.
They had small flags on their backs, and some warriors were holding flagpoles with black flags flying on them.
Mr. Chen Sanye, who was walking in the front of the commercial street, suddenly felt something in his heart.
He is the head of the merchant guild in the entire town.
He usually has the final say on everything in the Chamber of Commerce. An uncle in his family is an important elder in Donglin.
Mr. Chen Sanye is from Zhejiang. When he was in Wenzhou, he went up the city wall to resist Japanese pirates and saw the battlefield. When he looked at these people, they looked so much like Japanese pirates.
It's just that these people are so well dressed. The Japanese pirates are all in rags, many of them are barefoot, and except for a pretty good Japanese knife, they don't have anything decent.
As for these people, they were wearing uniform-style clothing, and the material looked very good. They were wearing long leather boots. And they were all wearing armor. This was a bit scary.
In this era, armor was not cheap. In the Ming Dynasty, only the border troops and the Beijing camp were able to reach the level of full armor. Looking at their appearance and figure, these people have the temperament of Japanese pirates, but this equipment is also very good.
The 500 Japanese pirates on the opposite side, about a battalion in strength, saw a thousand armed men coming out of nowhere, and they immediately started howling in Japanese dialect.
Honda Kita, who was appointed by Momoko as the commander of the Hirado Battalion, immediately issued the order. The Japanese pirates quickly changed their formations into ten formations of fifty people each.
Then each team turned into a small formation of ten people, forming a five-petal layout.
In these small formations, three people in the front hold aluminum alloy shields, and three people in the back hold fire gate guns. There are two groups on each wing, holding naginata and jumonji spears respectively.
Chen Sanye's eyes almost popped out of his head. This was clearly a variation of the Qi Family Army's Yuanyang Formation.
The world is so crazy, the mouse is the cat’s bridesmaid.
Are these still Japanese pirates? How come they learned the Qi Jiajun's formations?
That's right, it's a variant of the Yuanyang Formation.
Yang Fan planned to support these believers to fight against the shogunate. The most effective way to fight against the Japanese army was the Yuanyang Formation, which was extremely powerful in team combat.
When the Japanese iron cannon fires in front, three shields are blocking the front, and everyone hides behind. When the Ashgaru rushes up, they use the nine-shot fire gate gun to hit the lake face at close range. Then they protect the two wings with long weapons and assassinate them.
The approaching and downed samurai buys time for the musketeers to reload.
After the musketeers loaded their ammunition, they fired back and forth.
"Go first" Kita Honda gave the order to move forward.
This street is very wide, because it is the main street connecting to the dock, and a large number of horse-drawn carriages need to transfer the goods unloaded from the dock.
The Japanese pirates were arranged in fifty formations and walked slowly.
They walked in very neat steps, and the sound of their landing footsteps shook the roof tiles on both sides of the street. Waves of pressure surged toward the opposite side like real substance.
Suddenly these guys were a little panicked. Although they were all bandits and horse bandits, they had all seen blood, and they were usually very brave and aggressive people.
But facing the regular army, they were far from their opponents in terms of courage and training. There was a commotion immediately.
When Chen Sanye saw that this was not going to work, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, go ahead and kill one of them. I will reward you with ten taels of silver. Cash it in immediately."
These clerks usually only earn five silver coins a month, which is still relatively high. Ordinary workers only earn two or three silver coins a month.
Ten taels of silver was a windfall, and everyone immediately became angry, their morale immediately increased, and they rushed towards the shield array in front of them, shouting.
The Japanese pirates seemed to have no reaction to them, but maintained their formation and advanced slowly.
As he watched, the guys rushed to a distance of about 20 meters in front of the shield. Honda Kita shouted: "火狐する.火ぶたを杀る"
Suddenly, the shield in front tilted and lowered, and the three gunners in the second row were revealed, the black muzzles of their guns pointed at the guys who were rushing over in disorder.
Bang bang bang!
There was a burst of smoke and fire, and the gun opened fire.
Master Chen was so frightened that these Japanese pirates had so many firearms.
In a dense formation, the nine-shot rate of fire of the fire gate gun exerted a devastating power. In street combat, the two-person flight was a meeting on a narrow road, directly facing each other. Both sides were in a dense formation, and they were very thick arrays. And both sides were surrounded by
There is basically no place to hide in houses and shops.
This is the complete queuing and shooting mode.
Because it was too early, the houses and shops on both sides had locked their doors and had not yet opened their doors. Now that there is a fight, they will not open their doors.
The dense muskets exerted their maximum power, because the guys had no place to find cover. They were not regular troops, they had no shields, and nothing that could withstand the muskets.
Row after row of workers were knocked down by lead bullets. Those behind them pushed forward, while those in front seemed to retreat. The whole thing was in chaos.
When Chen Sanye saw the musket exposed, he knew something was wrong. He was cunning and cunning, and he fell to the ground. He was almost seventy, and he had eaten more salt in his life than they had ever seen rice. He was very agile.
, the reaction is very fast at this time.
"Quick, use the three-eyed gun to shoot at them, quick," Mr. Chen yelled while lying on the ground.
