Harukami Jiro reached out and removed the visor from his helmet. For some reason, the military orders he had received this time were a bit strange, such as wearing a large battle suit over his armor. Was this meant to confuse the enemy? Harukami stopped thinking about these things and just stared at the charging enemy like a hunter eyeing his prey.
The two groups finally clashed. The sounds of spears breaking, blades grinding against armor, and weapons piercing flesh mingled together, filling the air with the stench of blood.
The Japanese army's spears were no longer visible on the battlefield. They abandoned their spears like cavalrymen, drew long sabers from behind their backs, and swung them at their opponents. Blood splattered everywhere, and screams filled the air.
The Wang family's private army launched successive attacks on the central part of Crane Wing, but their thin formation halted their advance. The Wang family generals were dismayed to discover that the Japanese were wearing iron armor beneath their battle robes. This was neither leaf armor nor thin chainmail; it was thick full-body armor forged from a single piece of iron. Furthermore, the horse-slaying swords they wielded were even heavier and sharper. Forging such a long, solid iron sword was more difficult than forging armor; the excessive length of the weapon resulted in an unusually high scrap rate.
With each shout from that Japanese woman, the Japanese warriors would change formation, scattering the warriors they had painstakingly gathered. Eventually, they were no longer able to command the battle properly. Why was that damned woman so familiar with the Eight Formations of Zhuge Liang?
"Qin Mo...you actually dressed them all in iron armor? You're cheating..." Wang Renbi was stunned by the battle scene before him. His men were being cut down one by one.

"Is that so?.........Hehe.........You want me to cheat? Ask Governor Chen first...And don't even think about renege on your debt. Hurry up and prepare 50,000 taels of silver for me."
Qin Mo didn't say much to Wang Renbi. "I've told you where all the pits are, but you still want to jump in yourself. Who can you blame?"
