Li You was shocked by this data. He was not a person who had not been killed on the battlefield. The Three Kingdoms battled, and the Han army went to the Western Regions. When following Zhang Xun to guard Suiyang, he had also seen the powerful strength of the Tang army and the Beiwei army. However, even if these armies could win a great victory with the enemy, they could not achieve such few casualties among the Qi family army.

This battle is essentially different from the war he had experienced before. The Qi family army may be similar to the Beiwei army, Han army, and Tang army in terms of personal bravery, but the discipline, organization and teamwork of the Qi family army completely outweigh the above-mentioned army; this is the army I want, Li You was so excited that he couldn't be more excited.

"The general's formation is invincible in the world." Li You praised sincerely. He really couldn't think of who would be the opponent of the Qi family army in this era. The Japanese pirates could not defeat them, and the Mongolians could not defeat them, let alone the Ming army. Even if you look at the world, before Gustav II completed his modern military reforms, the Western army could not compete with them. The Qi family army was the most powerful army in the world.

"This is not Qi's contribution, it is all thanks to Mr. Tang Shunzhi, the deputy director of the Ministry of War, who taught him that day." Qi Jiguang slowly told a story about the past. Since he witnessed the armed battle between miners in Yiwu, he was finally overjoyed that he had found a suitable source of troops, and then asked Hu Zongxian to recruit soldiers on duty.

In a short time, he recruited 4,000 soldiers, and these Yiwu miners did not disappoint him. They trained seriously, fought bravely, and were not afraid of life and death. However, as Li You saw just now, many of the samurai warriors were masters of fighting through the warring states of Japan. In a short time, these Yiwu miners' personal martial arts were difficult to catch up with them. Therefore, when this army was first established, although the Qi family army could defeat the Japanese pirates repeatedly, their casualties were also very serious, and Qi Jiguang was also very troubled by this.

I knew that he met Tang Shunzhi, the deputy director of the Ministry of War who came to Zhejiang to inspect. Tang Shunzhi was also a legendary figure. Although he was a literati and had high school in the imperial examination, he also had extremely profound attainments in many other fields. He was not only a Confucian master and essayist in the Ming Dynasty, but also good at military affairs and proficient in arc-sagittal cutting and round art. He was a famous mathematician in the Ming Dynasty.

Such a versatile genius visited military affairs and had a great time after arriving in Zhejiang. He called his military works to Qi Jiguang and asked him to study them carefully. Qi Jiguang did not disappoint him, and found a solution to this problem in his military book called "Wu".

There is a volume in this book called "Secret War", which contains the following records: The Secret Warrior is the new name of the Yuanyang Formation. This is a formation with strong combat power and almost no flaws. It has both offense and defense and is varied. It can handle it freely no matter what method the enemy uses.

The enemy's archery in the distance was blocked by long cards, and when they came to the front, there were wolves that disrupted the enemy's army, and the spearmen assassinated them; when the roundabout attack was a palladium-killing hand and a short knife hand, facing such a formation, let alone these ordinary samurai, I'm afraid even the swordsman, such as Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro, and Yagyu Soyan would have to kneel down when they came.

Through learning experiments, Qi Jiguang understood the essence of this formation, created new weapons such as wolf wis, long cards, and palladium for his subordinates. Through hard training, the Qi family army mastered this skill and found the most suitable tactics for this army; the Mandarin duck formation to the Qi family army is like the tiki-taka tactics to Barcelona, ​​once it is successful enough to rampant the world, it is almost invincible.

"Wenyang needs to remember that the reason why the Mandarin Duck Formation has such great power is inseparable from the terrain along the coast of Zhejiang and the characteristics of the Japanese pirates. If Wenyang goes to other places in the future, he must not copy it as it is. He must adapt to local conditions and change the formation according to different opponents, and the equipment is the one." After talking about the origin of the Mandarin Duck Formation, Qi Jiguang did not forget to give a few words of advice, for fear that Li You would make mistakes that he should not have made.

"Remember the teachings in my heart." Li You bowed and replied. Qi Jiguang said so, and he did the same. The Yuanyang Formation was very suitable for the ups and downs of the coastal terrain and could not launch a large-scale army. However, when he arrived at Jimen to prevent the Mongol attack, it was no longer perfect. So he improved the formation of the Qi family army and launched the chariot formation, a killing weapon against nomadic peoples, which made the Mongols in Jimen cry and howl. When he saw the Qi family army's flag scattered far away. Later, the Qi family army performed extremely well in dealing with the Japanese army that invaded Korea and the Jiannu, which shows that the Qi family army was indeed an army that was good at adopting different response strategies according to different opponents.

As winter goes and spring comes, more and more Japanese pirates along the coast of Zhejiang are increasing. This guy is a sign before the war. Small waves of Japanese pirates continue to land, trying to burn, kill and loot in Qi Jiguang's defense zone.

But these people seemed to have found the wrong target of attack. The Qi family army teams led by Wu Weizhong, Zhu Wenda, Liu Yi and other generals, and crushed the batches of Japanese pirates at a small cost.

"It seems that the Japanese pirates are going to make big moves recently." Qi Jiguang, who had been on the front line of the anti-Japanese war for a long time, noticed the strangeness of the Japanese pirates. Soon, news came that thousands of Japanese pirates were about to land in Ninghai and prepare to attack the inland on a large scale.

Qi Jiguang immediately made a judgment that this was the beginning of the attack of the Japanese pirate army. He immediately led the main force to meet the enemy, but this time he did not bring Li You, but left him in Xinhe City, the base camp of the Qi family army.

The Qi family army quickly arrived in Ninghai. When these Japanese pirates saw the Qi family army, they screamed and rushed over with their Japanese swords. In their opinion, perhaps a wave of rushing can solve these people? However, the result shocked them. The flexible and changeable teams of the Yuanyang formation quickly divided the Japanese pirate army and strangled them one after another. Countless Japanese pirates ended their sinful life without even being at the edge of the Qi family army.

The battle in Ninghai ended soon. Thousands of Japanese pirates were easily defeated by the Qi family army, leaving more than 200 corpses and fleeing in a panic. Only one soldier in the Qi family army was slightly injured.

It seemed that victory was too easy. It was not like the strength of the main Japanese pirates; Qi Jiguang did not seem very happy after the great victory. He frowned and thought about the problems exposed in this battle.

Soon, the news came. It turned out that this team was just a tempting enemy soldier from the Japanese pirates, and another wave of more powerful Japanese pirates were rushing towards Xinhe City, which had empty troops. There are only more than a hundred soldiers in Xinhe City. Can they stop it? (To be continued.)
