At this time, a group of Portuguese people lined up in an orderly row, densely grouped.
The Portuguese with oval iron helmets on their heads, one by one, looked very relaxed, musketeers with arquebuses, wearing plate armor that only covered the chest, and stepped forward with ease, which was obviously an offensive formation, and the rest of the spearmen were arched to defend the two wings.
This Spanish phalanx was used by the Spaniards to expel the Arab powers in the Middle Ages, and they adopted a formation system called an infantry regiment to replace the old medieval "battle brigade".
The entire square array is three columns.
This gives each infantry regiment a total strength of more than 3,000 men.
When the infantry regiment became the standard formation of the Spanish army, the sword, shield and halberdier disappeared and were replaced by an infantry regiment consisting of spearmen and arquebusiers.
Now Governor Alfonso was leading an infantry regiment of the size of an infantry regiment, Portugal was once a Spanish territory, so there was no difference in the military system, they proudly used arquebusiers as a column, leaving only a few spearmen, apparently not intended to defend, but to use a quick attack to end the battle as soon as possible.
There was occasional laughter in the queue, and the contempt for the Han army had obviously become the only laughing stock for these boring Portuguese, after all, after a few battles, the Han army's combat effectiveness had been verified, and now, it was time to give them a heavy blow.
Alfonso indulged in the unruly behaviour of the Portuguese soldiers, and even the occasional whistle and brawl of brawl made him laugh.
In fact, to a certain extent, yes, the number of these Han troops on the opposite side is very small, and the vast majority, well, how to say, the vast majority of them look very immature, at first glance like weak chickens, hundreds of Han troops, actually dare to put in front of the three thousand victorious army of Portugal, which seems very funny and ridiculous.
However, to a certain extent, Alfonso still admires the fearless actions of these Han troops, knowing that he will die, but he still does not flinch, he can even see through the telescope, the other party maintains a high morale, morale can be seen from the column they listed, they are divided into three columns, very neat, he can't help but be amazed in his heart, he is familiar with the military he understands very well, the neatness of the phalanx is by no means such a simple answer, this is related to the morale of an army and the degree of training at peacetime, obviously, On the other side was a professional army, neatly groomed and meticulously formed, on par with, and perhaps even more sophisticated, than the Swiss.
But so what?
Alfonso couldn't help but shake his head and smile, thinking that these people would soon become the souls of their guns like those Ming soldiers before, but the next moment, the smile on his lips with a little mockery and a little pity froze, and he saw that in front of the other party's formation, a huge cross was actually inserted, and on the cross, someone was tied to it.
Alfonso saw through the telescope the poor man's face, which was actually Wang Hanzhong.
This is the scene of God's martyrdom, but now, the person who is tied up is not God, but Wang Hanzhong.
Alfonso was furious, the Portuguese were devout Catholics, because they had suffered from the invasion of the Arabs, so they were the most loyal, the Portuguese had been a vassal of the King of Spain, their king even regarded himself as the protector of Catholicism, and now, a native of the East, actually enjoyed the treatment of God.
Alfonso felt that he had insulted his faith by tying Wang Hanzhong to the cross, and he glanced at Wang Hanzhong with disgust, and then, with disdain and more blatant hatred, his gaze fell on the two teenagers in front of the other party through the telescope.
These two people, they are like the leaders of each other, haha it's time to teach them a lesson, cut off their heads, hang them on canvas, and then enter the city of Tianjin, which is the heart of this ancient empire, as long as they control it, they can threaten their royal capital, and at the same time cut off their tax channels, at that time, they can do whatever they want.
Alfonso didn't look at Wang Hanzhong again, his face turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, he decided to attack.
So the heralds beat the drums, and the arquebusiers and spearmen began to march forward in rhythm, and although they began to advance, their formation was still neat, which was the result of a long period of training, and the sailors who came to the East had no knights and archers, and most of them were farmers and paupers, and only these people could endure the endless turbulence of the sea, and the bedbugs on the ship, and the wealth of the East, without fear of the storm, but when the arquebus became widespread, even the peasants, after training, The combat power is still considerable.
Governor Alfonso was so confident that he dismounted and personally appeared on the side of the procession, directing the procession forward.
There was laughter in the queue again, and some people even shouted, "Kill all their men" "The woman who killed them" "How to get it" The crowd laughed again They were all relaxed and pleasant before the battle, and to this day they remember the pleasant experience of slaughtering the kingdom of Mangaraga, where the men were killed and the women were subjugated to their power, and a Portuguese peasant could break into the royal palace of Manraka with impunity, take the ornaments decorated with gold leaf as he pleased, and enjoy the noble women that no one had ever imagined before.
So they became more energetic, and some people began to whistle, and many people blew together, and they converged into more and more wind and waves.
The priest who accompanied the army held a Bible in his hand, drew a cross, and said: "May God bless you to destroy the heathen, and if you are martyred for this, your sins will be forgiven in that moment, and you will receive the glory of eternal destruction in Heaven."
The vast and dense Portuguese came, so that all the Zhenguo New Army students have a familiar feeling, for example, their way of fighting, is very similar to the Zhenguo New Army, they are all marching in formation, the Zhenguo New Army members instantly feel the difference of these people, they can't hear the other party's shouts to kill, and there is no kind of reckless people rushing out of the queue and making any brave moves, they keep the queue moving no matter what.
All of a sudden, everyone understood that today's battle was not an ordinary enemy, this was the first time that the soldiers had used rifles to fight, and in a way, they preferred to hold on to the steel spear, because the steel spear seemed to give them a more solid feeling.
But now it is clear that it is no longer for them to decide. aa2705221:
