A group of Japanese soldiers, led by Captain Oshima Sousuke, were the first to engage the enemy troops in front.

Unlike the surrendered soldiers who had previously attacked the city, they were genuine elite troops from Japan.

The squad was small, only about ten people, and not all of them used samurai swords; half of them used spears.

On the battlefield, every inch counts. Compared to spears and halberds, samurai swords are sharper and lighter, and they are more adept at using them.

Using a samurai sword in combat allows one to unleash greater fighting power.

However, the cost of a samurai sword is far higher than that of ordinary weapons such as spears and halberds, and only highly skilled martial artists can wield a samurai sword.

Therefore, the majority of soldiers in the entire Japanese army were equipped with samurai swords.

The combat squad led by Oshima Sousuke is already considered a formidable force. At this moment, Oshima Sousuke calmly and composedly observes the enemy squad.

The enemy squads were small, numbering around ten, but what was concerning was that such squads were everywhere on the battlefield.

Furthermore, the weapons used by each of these squads are quite unique.

But he had no time to think; as elsewhere, the battle had already begun.

"Kill them!" Oshima Sousuke roared!

The spearmen beside him surged forward, thrusting out their spears first!

Several spears thrust out, fast and fierce. If they pierced a person's body, they could turn that person into a hedgehog in an instant!

In past battles, this tactic has always proven effective!

Even if the enemy has shields to block them, ordinary shields can still be pierced unless they are extremely heavy shields!

In the battles before Linbin City, they had broken through the shield formation.

At that moment, two people rushed out from the enemy squad and raised their shields!

Those were two shields of different shapes, one round and the other square!

"Bang bang bang!"

The spear pierced the shield repeatedly, and Oshima Sousuke's expression changed.

The enemy's shields actually blocked the spear attack, even though the shields didn't look very heavy!

Without the slightest hesitation, Oshima Sousuke shouted.

The spearmen withdrew their spears, and several swordsmen rushed out from the side, wielding katana with swift and sharp blades.

Those who wield swords are no ordinary people. In their homeland, they are all samurai with the skill level of the fifth dan in swordsmanship. There are eight dan in swordsmanship, and the fifth dan is already considered a master!

Several warriors moved swiftly, slashing and hacking, attacking the enemy squad from different directions!

Oshima Sousuke knew that the samurai were agile and fast, and the enemy squad only had two shield bearers, who would definitely not be able to stop the samurai's attack.

Even a single stab wound, no matter where it lands, can result in anything from severed limbs to immediate death!

But just as the samurai charged forward using their speed, suddenly—

Two enemy soldiers behind the shield bearer came wielding their weapons!

The weapon they used was actually a bamboo pole!

The bamboo pole was extremely long, at least three meters long, and the branches had not been cut off. There were no bamboo leaves on the branches, but it seemed that some sharp, cone-shaped iron thorns were tied to the dense branches.

The two enemy soldiers were waving the strange bamboo pole haphazardly, without any strategy or method.

It's like wielding a rather large broom and sweeping haphazardly.

This is not an ordinary bamboo pole; it is called a "wolf's tooth"!

Weighing about six or seven pounds, the weapon has a sharp head like a spearhead, with dense nodes and strong branches, and nine to eleven layers of attached branches. Although it is heavy and difficult to move, its deep layers, dense branches, and long length make it both defensive and offensive!

This was one of the powerful weapons used by Qi Jiguang's army in their fight against Japanese pirates!

"Clap clap clap!"

The warriors had already swung their swords, but without exception, all their swords struck the massive wolf-tooth club.

Surprisingly, the wolf-tooth rake was not cut down and remained sturdy. It seemed that the bamboo pole was made of old bamboo, which was thick and hard.

It was nothing like Hsinchu, which the samurai used to practice swordsmanship when they were in their homeland.

They can cut one or two of those lush green bamboo shoots in one stroke!

"Well...."

"Ah... my hand!"

Almost simultaneously, the warriors, having failed to cut the bamboo pole with their first strike, were met with a backlash!

The cone-shaped iron spikes tied to the bamboo poles scratched their hands that were holding knives, and some of the thin, long ends even cut a samurai's face.

Just then, a cold shout rang out:

"Disarm!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the two soldiers wielding the wolf-tooth clubs suddenly spun them, the fine branches coiling around the samurai swords, the sharp points sweeping across the samurai's bodies.

The three warriors who were the first to be hit had their hands slashed and bleeding profusely, with gaping wounds that were a shocking sight.

With their swords entangled and their hands mutilated, the samurai, in pain, instinctively released their bloodied palms.

With a few clangs, the samurai sword fell to the ground.

The remaining warriors, seeing their companion disarmed, changed their expressions and hurriedly took a few steps forward, attempting to launch an attack.

Before they had taken two steps, with a few "whoosh" sounds, several halberds suddenly emerged from the group. Compared to ordinary halberds, the ones used by this group were noticeably longer. (Note: Halberds evolved from agricultural tools, resembling the nine-toothed rake used by Pigsy, but much wider.)

The wide teeth of the halberd left the warriors nowhere to hide. As soon as the warriors stepped forward, they were pushed to the ground by the halberd!

"Oh no! Retreat quickly!" Oshima Sousuke shouted hurriedly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

On this battlefield, whether you are disarmed or knocked to the ground, it means you have stepped into the gates of hell!

Before the warriors could catch their breath, four men emerged from behind the halberd-wielders, each wielding a long spear, and thrust out with ferocious force!
