"No Japanese pirate can escape the annihilation of my Mandarin Duck Formation!"
"I will wipe out all Japanese pirates!"
Qi Jiguang, the general in charge of this battle, a man with many titles including "Famous Anti-Japanese General," "National Hero," "Military Strategist," "Calligrapher," and "Poet," thought to himself.
It wasn't that he was being too arrogant.
Rather, throughout his years of fighting on the battlefield, since he formed his "Qi Family Army," he had never lost a single battle against the Japanese pirates.
In fact, he never lost a battle, no matter which enemy he faced or which fight he fought.
Now, his fighting style is to annihilate all the Japanese pirates with minimal casualties.
Just now, upon arriving at the battlefield, Qi Jiguang took the lead in trying out the "Mandarin Duck Formation" to enter the battlefield. Now the battlefield is chaotic, with enemy and friendly forces fighting each other. Under such circumstances, heavy weapons are difficult to play a role.
They are too lethal; using them all at once at this moment would accidentally injure friendly forces.
Of course, in addition to these heavy weapons, there are also the single-person firearms bird guns, which are also quite powerful, but they lose accuracy at a slightly longer distance.
A knife can change direction when it strikes, but a lead bullet will fly straight ahead, regardless of what lies ahead.
Therefore, in order to protect our allies, we must avoid using these weapons as much as possible, and wait until the battle is over, annihilate all the enemy troops here, and ensure the safety of the people of Linbin City.
Next, it will be time to use these firearms to wreak havoc!
Just then, a furious roar came from the battlefield ahead:
"Kill them! Kill them! Don't you dare back down an inch!"
"Today, we will fight to the death to take Linbin City!"
"For His Majesty the Emperor!!!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang's face turned cold.
"The Emperor? Is he not here?"
"Once I've dealt with the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea, I'll capture and kill your Emperor too!"
With a cold snort in his heart, Qi Jiguang's gaze locked onto the person in front of him, Ono Jiro, who had roared earlier!
"Go! Follow me and take his head! Hang it high on the roof of the Linbin City Tower!"
With a low shout, Qi Jiguang led a group of men forward, his hand reaching for the long sword at his waist.
The people beside him were not from the Mandarin Duck Formation team; they were all dressed the same, with long swords hanging from their waists.
The knife he was equipped with was called the "Qi Family Military Knife"!
It is the perfect counter to the Japanese sword!
——
Sousuke Oshima was scared.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, he felt fear for the first time.
Although he didn't want to desert at this time, the current situation told him that if he continued fighting, his entire army would probably be wiped out today.
Everywhere he looked, his own forces were already at a disadvantage.
The surrendered soldiers who had attacked the city earlier were mostly dead by now, and Chen Hongbo and his generals had disappeared without a trace, their fate unknown—whether they were dead or had escaped.
But General Ono was still issuing orders, demanding that they fight to the death.
In this situation, even if we fight to the death, it will be difficult to capture Linbin City. It is obviously not worth sacrificing our lives in vain.
Oshima Sousuke knew that General Ono was a man with a strong sense of honor and responsibility, but now, retreating was the best option, and he had to persuade General Ono to retreat!
Thinking of this, he disregarded his comrades who were fighting and turned to run towards Ono Jiro.
Fierce battles raged everywhere, with extremely long wolf-tooth clubs sweeping across the battlefield, and countless samurai swords falling to the ground.
The warriors' hands were mangled and bloody, their screams echoing incessantly, but the spears that followed silenced them.
Many others were subdued by the scythe, pinned to the ground, unable to move, and could only close their eyes in despair, waiting to die. Scene after scene flashed before Oshima Sousuke's eyes.
His face grew paler and paler, and cold sweat soaked his clothes as he ran faster and faster.
"Baka! What are you doing here! Kill the enemy!"
"Can't you see they're fighting?!"
Not far away, Ono Jiro saw Oshima running in the opposite direction from the others and roared angrily.
"General Ono! Under these circumstances, we cannot continue fighting!"
"The enemy has a large force and weapons specifically designed to counter us. If we continue fighting, not only will our casualties be extremely high, but we might also be completely wiped out!"
In this urgent situation, Oshima Sousuke didn't have time to think about anything else and blurted out everything on his mind.
Jiro Ono was furious and shouted:
"Baka! Oshima! What discouraging things are you saying!"
"Fight to the bitter end! Linbin City has already fallen to us. Today we must take Linbin City and we cannot allow this operation to fail!"
Upon hearing this, Oshima gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, "Damn it!"
But then he continued:
"General Ono, please take a look at the battle situation!"
"Fighting to the death will not only fail to take Linbin City, but will also cause us all to die here!"
"Serving His Majesty the Emperor means keeping our lives to conquer new territories, not dying here in vain!"
Ono's eyes narrowed, his face contorted with rage, and he pointed his katana at Oshima Sousuke:
How dare you speak to me like that!
"Are you going to disobey my orders?!"
"I have made my decision to give my life for His Majesty the Emperor! How dare you question my resolve!"
"Oshima! You're afraid of dying! You lack the awareness of a soldier!"
In the past, Oshima Sousuke would have immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake, but at this moment, he refused to budge an inch.
"General Ono! My loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor is no less than yours!"
