Although Japanese samurai have strong personal combat power, it takes advantage of the sharp advantage of the samurai sword. Moreover, when using samurai swords, Japanese samurai prefers to chop with both hands (mainly because they are short and have insufficient arms, so they can only hold knife with both hands), rather than assassination. Therefore, when defending samurai swords, they are mainly for chopping and cutting.

If you cannot resist the sharpness of the samurai sword, you will naturally be cut to death and injured by the fierce Japanese samurai. However, once you can block the slash of the samurai sword, the situation will be different immediately.

When Qi Jiguang invented the Mandarin Duck Formation, he found that rattan cards could withstand the slash of the samurai sword. Therefore, in the Mandarin Duck Formation, the ones in the front were rattan players holding rattan cards in their hands, and behind them were dodging wolves and spearmen, and they drew cold zi to give the Japanese samurai and killed them. After this battle formation matured, the Qi family army was basically invincible in the face of Japanese pirates, and their own losses were very small.

Therefore, Marin is very confident in dealing with the cruel Japanese samurai. For example, Jurchen samurai, as long as they are equipped with shields and armor that can withstand samurai swords, it will be basically done...

The Jurchens are already fierce, and the Japanese samurai swords will definitely be beaten by those Jurchen warriors. What's more, the superb sword techniques of the Japanese samurai are useless in battle formations. Once the charge and fight, even the gorgeous sword techniques are useless. Simple, direct, and effective killing methods are the most practical on the battlefield. Fighting on the battlefield often solves the battle in just a few seconds, and it is impossible to fight for 300 rounds like in the novel. Unless it is a general in front of the formation.

This is because, on the battlefield, you and your opponents are not the only ones, but also many friendly and enemy troops around you. Don’t think of your good martial arts skills, you will kill the enemies in front of you step by step. But if you are accidentally attacked by another enemy behind your back, it will be difficult to resist no matter how high your martial arts are.

Therefore, above the battle formation, everyone emphasizes discipline and lets comrades protect your back. The army that can do this will easily win. However, those who cannot do it will often be beaten to death by experts.

Just like the three talent formation in Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation, three people hid behind the big rattan card, the rattan card blocked the Japanese pirate's samurai sword, and the wolf lion stretched out to block the enemy's samurai sword. Finally, the spear suddenly stabbed out... This kind of fighting style, even if the samurai is very powerful, it is very helpless. Because he is not facing one enemy, but three, and three enemies with exquisite cooperation...

In fact, Marin is now sending people to purchase wolf zithers made of bamboo in China. The thing is very vulgar. After being processed by tung oil and roasting, it is very resilient and can jamm the enemy's weapons. In other words, at least it can temporarily hold the enemy back and affect the battle. At this time, the spearman on the other side of the rattan player took advantage of the enemy's weapons and entangled them and suddenly stabbed a cold gun, which was indeed difficult to resist.

Of course, the wolf wisted is mainly effective against infantry, has poor cavalry effect, and is also afraid of musketeers. However, Japan is mostly mountainous and has no cavalry at all. Even if there are, it is also a "primary school cavalry" riding a very thin Japanese local horse, which lacks impact.

With many mountains, infantry is naturally the main one, and wolf wiss is the nemesis of infantry. Especially in mountain warfare, it has a great effect. Japan is mountainous, and most of the time, soldiers can only walk when they go to battle. In this way, the effect of the mandarin duck formation will be outstanding.

But Malin was too lazy to use the Mandarin Duck Formation, which was used by the Ming army. For the Jurchen barbarians, it is difficult for them to learn the Mandarin Duck Formation in a short time. Therefore, it is better to send a steel knife and bring a rattan card to them. With a rattan card to resist the samurai sword, the steel knife they hold in their other hand can easily attack the enemy. Moreover, the Jurchens also have the tradition of using single swords. Giving them a spear, they may not be able to use it.

In fact, if it were the Mongols who went to Japan, it might not be effective because the Mongols were good at riding horses, but most of Japan were in mountains and it was difficult to use horses.

The Jurchens are different, especially the savage Jurchens. Most of them live in the Sikhot Mountains in the northeast, where the terrain is very similar to the Japanese mountainous terrain. Therefore, the East China Sea Jurchens (that is, the savage Jurchens) are very suitable for the mountainous terrain. At most, the Japanese mountainous terrain is warmer because of the Japanese warm current.

Therefore, using the savage Jurchens to fight the Japanese army is definitely a very good choice. As long as you can defeat the Japanese samurai who are the core, the remaining slashed bamboo poles (the lowest-level infantry in Japan) are no match for the Jurchen samurai.

However, the biggest problem of the East China Sea Jurchen tribe is not the problem of combat effectiveness, but the problem of population...

Decades later, when Nurhaci unified the three Jurchens (the Jianzhou Ministry, the western part of the sea and the East China Sea Savage Jurchens), there were only more than 60,000 strong men. Even if the three major parts were on average, there were only more than 20,000 savage Jurchens in the East China Sea Savage Jurchens.

But Malin knew that the savage Jurchens could not account for one-third of the three Jurchens. Because the population of the savage Jurchens living in the Sikhot Mountains is definitely not as large as the Jianzhou Jurchens who have begun to engage in agriculture. Therefore, among the more than 60,000 Eight Banners soldiers, the East China Sea Jurchens have a maximum of more than 10,000 soldiers. Then, the East China Sea Jurchens also have a maximum population of tens of thousands.

Now, it is only 1516. Not to mention Nurhaci, who was born in 1559, even Nurhaci's grandfather, Jue Chang'an, has not been born yet. Therefore, at this time, the number of savage girls should be even smaller, and it is scary to be able to collect 10,000 strong men.

However, Marin himself did not completely count on the savage Jurchens. The savage Jurchens were not enough, so he could still use the charming Qi Lie to make up...

Before the massacre of the Russians, Qili, who lived in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang, was charming, and the number was no less than that of the East China Sea savage Jurchens. According to records in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Feiyaka tribe (called Qilixiang in the Ming Dynasty, and later in the Nivhe people) living in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang at that time had 2,250 households and a population of tens of thousands. There were also 148 households in the Feiyaka tribe living on Sakhalin Island.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In this era, even if the charming Qi Lie is less than tens of thousands, it can attract a lot of people. They are actually similar to the savage Jurchens, both of which are barbaric and brave fishing and hunting tribes, and their combat power is not much different.

In addition to Qiliemei, there are also tribes in the northeast, such as the Xibe tribe who were later incorporated into New Manchuria and stationed in the Western Xinjiang with the Solon camp. At that time, after Nurhaci was surrendered by the Xibe tribe, he compiled them into 65 Niulu. One Niulu is equal to three hundred soldiers and 65 Niulu, which is equivalent to 19,500 people, which is nearly 20,000 people.

Of course, this was decades ago. The Xibe people did not have nearly 20,000 strong men, but there should be tens of thousands of strong men. As long as they give enough benefits, they can drink and eat meat every day, and they will not have to worry about not being able to recruit enough mercenaries.

In addition, in this era, not only were there gustites on Sakhalin Island, but there were also many gustites on Hokkaido Island to the south.

Of course, Kuyi is the name of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Kuyi people and the Ainu people on the southern part of Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido Island are completely two different tribes. However, the Ming Dynasty officials did not understand and classified the Ainu people into the category of Kuyi.

In fact, Kuyi is a savage Jurchen branch, who moved from the northeastern region to Sakhalin Island, mainly living in the northern and central Sakhalin Island. The Hokkaido is an islander living in Hokkaido and Sakhalin Island.

But the Ming Dynasty did not know that Sakhalin Island was called Kuyi Island, while Hokkaido was called Nankuyi Island. As for the people on the island, except for the charming Qili, they were all called Kuyi people.

But the real situation is that after the savage Jurchen landed in the north, he drove the original Hokkien to the southern end of Sakhalin Island because he became more fierce. Of course, Hokkaido is currently the base camp of the Hokkien people. Moreover, there are some Hokkien people in the northern end of Hokkido, Japan, near Hokkido.

In fact, it was not until the Battle of Kusangmanyi in 1457 that Japan defeated all the Hokkien people on Honshu Island and drove the main body of the Hokkien people out of Honshu Island. In other words, most of the Hokkien people at the northern end of Honshu Island were slaughtered, and the rest were enslaved.

Strictly speaking, the history of Japan's Yamato people in the southeastern region competing with the Hokkien for the northern half of Hokkien Island. The origin of the title of "General of the Conquest" by the Japanese shogun is also derived from the war of conquest with the Hokkien people in the northern part of Hokkien Island...

In this era, Japan had not yet controlled Hokkaido. The earliest operation to control Hokkaido had to wait until the end of the 16th century before the Matsumae-fan sent people to establish a trading point box hall at the southern end of Hokkaido, which is the later Hakodate.
