First, suppression tactics
The Yuanyang Array invented by Qi Jiguang is a tactical innovation. This formation is a joint operation of small units and multiple arms, with high maneuverability, integrated attack and defense, and flexibility, which has changed the traditional concept of large infantry phalanx and large corps. Firepower cover with firearms before the war (according to historical records, the proportion of firearms in the trench camp in Qi Jiguang is 58.70%, which is no worse than that in Ji Shen camp. ) Suppress the enemy, then use medium and long-range attacks, and wait until the enemy is tired before sending a mandarin duck array, which is bound to be unfavorable.
Second, suppress weapons.
The weapons used by the Yuanyang array are basically long weapons, and they do not engage in close hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese. This Yuanyang array is composed of 12 men: 1 captain's command, and there are two shield soldiers in the front row, who are defended by rattan cards. Two soldiers on both sides were armed with long wolves, four marines in the middle attacked with spears, and then two with stirrups.
Third, skilled cooperation.
These soldiers are basically local villagers, father and son, and Qi Jiguang is well trained. Thus, the characteristics of soldiers from peasant backgrounds have been changed, and agricultural tools have been changed into rakes and rakes, and mining tools have been changed into weapons to train their footwork and cooperation. When fighting, the shield soldiers listen to the drums and advance to resist the enemy's attack. Wolves can resist the blade from a distance and kill each other. Palladium can hold the enemy's long knife and break its blade. Firefighters shoot with firearms, and palladium can also be used as a support for firearms.
In this way, all arms protect and coordinate with each other and advance and retreat together, just like one person. Moreover, the soldiers are irregular, and the squad leader can change the formation according to the specific situation, which effectively improves the mobility of the squad. Moreover, if the shield soldiers are killed by the enemy, the other arms will be beheaded to urge them to cooperate.
With these advantages, 156 1 year, Qi Jiguang's Yuanyang array entered the historical stage and wiped out 30,000 Japanese aggressors. In the same year, Qi Jiajun fought against the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, winning 9 wars and 9 victories, which made the Japanese pirates frightened and far away from China's coastal areas.
