Chapter 76

"Stand by!"

The head of the Zhang family encouraged his sons:

"The Xu family will definitely not see their fleet falling into the hands of Japanese pirates, so they will definitely come to rescue them."

"I guess we can see their forwards in at most 5 days, maybe three days!"

"At this time, don't say who will give the Japanese pirates, otherwise thousands of soldiers from the Xu family will come over and ask our family to be unlucky!"

This last reason convinced the leaders of the Zhang family.

The Japanese pirates got the goods and turned around and left. How could they face the Xu family if they were left? Can they still move the fort onto the boat?

At that time, they will face the Xu family army who can destroy the bandits in Fulaishan, even defeat the Tartars, and are in a rage.

"The kids know."

The children and nephews of the Zhang family lowered their heads and answered depressedly.

"I still feel that I can't help but feel good..."

Someone muttered in a low voice:

"There are so many people in our family who die, and the Xu family will not give us any compensation..."

"Oh..." The head of the Zhang family shook his head helplessly: "Our family can't just eat meat without losing money if we occupy this Rizhao Port."

"Master!Master!"

A strong man with dust on his face and blood on his clothes trotted to the head of the Zhang family and reported loudly: "The reinforcements are coming! The Japanese have gathered hundreds of soldiers and gone to the north!"

"oh?"

The leaders of the Zhang family were shocked and ran to the earthen walls and looked north.

It was indeed good. There were many fewer Japanese scattered outside the earth wall. Standing at a high place, you could see a large force leaving quickly north.

If reinforcements had not arrived, the Japanese would not have dispatched such a new force to leave the main battlefield.

However, at this time, who is the person who came to help?

"Is it the Ding family, Wang family, and Bao family?" A voice full of confusion rang.

"Those cowards, we'll come soon!" The eldest son of the family retorted disdainfully: "They are hiding in a place 5 miles away. It's been a long time since they suddenly rushed over?"

"Was that the Xu family members arrived?"

"His home is far away, how can he arrive at this time?"

According to the Zhang family's own estimate, if the Xu family receives the news, they will immediately throw away the farm work and start gathering. Then they will rush here to meet with the fort soldiers of the Wang, Ding and Bao family. After resting for a day, it will take about 7 to 10 days.

Now, the time has only been only 5 days.

"It's not those three families, nor the Xu family, who would it be?" Someone said anxiously: "Can the court send someone here?"

"Go and go, let's go, I have not crossed the river for 10 years. How could I come to Rizhao?"

"Stop quarrel, they are here." The head of the Zhang family pointed at the end of the northern sight, and a row of small black dots appeared faintly there.

The Japanese pirates who were moving north suddenly let out a burst of cunning howls, and it was obvious that they had seen the appearance of the visitor.

Like the previous battles, Xu Shiyang followed the attacking team.

But this time, the sword and shield soldiers had been eliminated from the square formation. In order to cooperate with his comrades around him, he did not carry the tiger-toothed sword that was in trouble, but held a spear like other militias.

As the spiritual pillar of the commander-in-chief and the new army, Xu Shiyang's spear was hung with the pure red flag. In addition, he was wearing the silver-shining iron armor, which was particularly eye-catching among the militias whose only chain mail and leather armor (children's rhymes were seized from the Tartars).

After a winter of rigorous training, the new army no longer needs to listen to Xu Shiyang's command and complete the whole team in five steps, but he still has a bamboo whistle in his mouth.

The 100-man team was lined up in a dense formation, with musketeers in front and piketeers behind, and according to the whistle, they advanced quickly at a speed of about 70 steps per minute (compared to Frederick's pace).

Behind the 101-man new army is a chaotic fort coalition. Because Xu Shiyang is eager to fight, they have not even had time to assemble. At present, there are only about 7,800 people.

At the end of the army, there were 23 cavalrymen. Xu Shiyang gave his war horse to Xu Shiliu and asked him to be responsible for the command of the cavalry troops.

In fact, unlike those who thought their brothers were fighting for family property, Xu Shiyang actually liked this younger brother very much. This child could ride a horse (although riding skills were far worse than real cavalry), had read books, planted land, and killed people. Apart from lack of experience, there were almost no obvious shortcomings.

Now Luan Tingyu and Sun Li around him are experienced soldiers. Assisting him in command of cavalry, this second-tier child can learn a lot.

After a few similar scenes, he gained enough experience and this child is definitely a talent in this era.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang, who is extremely lacking in helpers, doesn't mind training him well. After all, he is his own younger brother. When both of them have a bright future, there is no need to have any dispute over the property of the second wife of the Xu family.

Opposite to the four coalition forces, about 800 Japanese pirates were howling and gathering together, walking towards this side.

At the forefront are a hundred ronin holding Japanese swords. They are the core and pillars of the Japanese pirate army, and are in nature equivalent to personal soldiers and servants of grassroots officers or generals.

The pirates following behind the ronin seemed quite messy. From the equipment, there were all kinds of weapons such as long-handled sickle, grab hook, bamboo spear, Han-style waist knife, Fusang-style spear, etc.

The only unified feature is that they do not have armor, and many people don’t even have decent clothes, just tied a bunny cloth and shouted loudly in the team.

The Japanese pirates were also disobedient to each other. Most of them responded to the so-called "grand commander" and came to Rizhao to make a fortune, so the assembly speed was not fast. Until now, the distance between the two armies was only about one mile away, and a small number of Japanese pirates hurriedly merged into the team.

The number of enemies is increasing, but the more people, the more chaotic their formation appears. Except for the more than a hundred ronin in the front line, the others are crowded into a group of hammers and hammers, which is in sharp contrast with the new army with a tight array.

On the flank of the new army, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao shouted, and each led four scouts to quickly cross the formation. They all held bows in their hands. The mission was to shake the opponent's army formation before the main force fought.

The scouts entered a scattered line, approaching about 70 steps, and then skillfully shot light arrows at the Japanese pirates.

The hunting operation throughout the winter greatly improved the shooting skills of these strong warriors. The well-made horn bow of the Tatars easily threw the sharp-headed light arrows over 70 steps and hit the Japanese pirates fiercely.

A scream suddenly sounded in the enemy formation, and the pirates who had no protection on their bodies were shot in a mess.
