Six thousand elite Ming troops, plus thousands of cantonment troops, came to rest outside the range of the Spaniards' field artillery.The soldiers held weapons and stood among the withered yellow weeds, the autumn wind was bleak, blowing the flags and hunting, and the battlefield was full of murderous atmosphere.On the battlefield within a radius of ten miles, the fiery Ming army phalanx surrounded the silver and white Spanish phalanx from three directions, and both sides were silent, only the sound of the drums of the wind and the banner.Under the banner of the Ming army, Zhao Ming stood there, his eyes quietly glanced at the four thousand Ming troops in front of him, and saw that they were neatly arranged in the wilderness according to the flag team, bureau, and division, everyone clenched the weapons in their hands, he did not hesitate, raised his big axe, pointed to the sky, and roared, "Kill!"
”The red flag of the Chinese army waved forward, and at the same time the war drums sounded, Zhao Ming did not hesitate at all, and issued the order for the front army to attack as soon as he saw it."
Brothers, kill!"
Huo Jianyan, the former military officer of Qianhu, ordered the standard-bearer to raise the flag, pulled out his war knife and pointed angrily forward.The drums in the front army were beating, and the soldiers pushing the shield cart immediately pushed the shield cart in unison, like a moving city wall, and pushed it towards the Spanish phalanx.Behind the shield cart, the musketeers of the Ming army, all of whom carried their muskets on their shoulders, followed the rhythm of the drums and advanced towards the phalanx of the Spaniards.After three years of the Anti-Qing War, the Ming Army in the East China Sea has gradually sharpened an elite division.These 4,000 Ming soldiers were all veterans who had undergone severe training and had fought against the Qing soldiers.The melee killer team has practiced countless knife slashes and spear slashes, and the musketeers of the firearms team don't know how much gunpowder Zhao Ming has knocked out.The four thousand troops, the melee killers, all wore domed neck guards and iron helmets, red feathers on them, and iron armor, shield riders pushed carts, blankets rolled on their backs, two pike sticks, water bottles, short axes and war knives hung from their waists, and heavy infantry soldiers in the backs, also with blankets rolled on their backs, long-handled battle axes in their hands, and only water bottles and war knives hung from their waists.The musketeers of the Ming army are all wearing saucer-shaped iron helmets, wearing red mandarin duck battle robes, leather boots on their feet, belts around their waists, a bottom box hanging on the left belt, containing lead bullets, a water bottle and a war knife hanging on the right side, and a belt on the shoulders of the soldiers, on which are hung twelve small bamboo tubes and a small iron kettle, which contain a certain amount of propellants and primers, and finally the soldiers are also carrying a roll of blankets rolled into a cylindrical shape on their backs.The musketeers of the Ming army were well-armoured and well-armed, and they were not lost to the Spaniards, and the Ming army also had cartridge loads, but the cost was relatively expensive, and they were not equipped with Taiwanese soldiers.At this time, on the frontal battlefield, 4,000 Ming soldiers, 500 shield chariot soldiers in front, 1,000 flintlock musketeers and 500 arquebusiers resisted on their shoulders, walking in a neat pace, and finally a thousand heavily armored infantry troops, scattered in formation, followed by the musketeers.Zhao Ming left only 1,000 cavalry and dozens of runners stationed under the Chinese army.In the phalanx of the Spaniards opposite, Franco watched the movements of the Ming army coldly, and his face showed contempt.The Chinese are really stupid and do not have a long memory, as early as a few months ago, the Ming army attacked the Spanish phalanx in the same formation, only to be thwarted by the Spanish soldiers.After several months, the Chinese did not grow at all, and the shield cart followed by the infantry army, and they were bound to be defeated again by the brave Spanish soldiers."
Fire!
Smash the wooden car of the Chinese!
”Franco ordered coldly.On the battlefield, 2,500 Spaniards were arranged in five phalanxes, two in the front and three in the back, all spearmen in the middle, with muskets arranged at the four corners, and the artillery arranged in front of the formation and between the gaps in each phalanx.In the wilderness, the shield chariots of the Ming army marched in unison on the open ground, and the length of the shield wall was the same length as the length of the two phalanxes in front of Spain.Huo Jianyan held the command knife in his hand, and the soldiers carrying the guns on their shoulders marched together, in the Spanish phalanx in front, suddenly gunsmoke rose, a cannon shot out, a shield cart of the Ming army exploded in response, broken wood splashed, the soldiers of the cart fell to the ground covered in blood, and the musketeers in the back row were also knocked down three people by the powerful shells.On the battlefield, artillery roared, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunpowder smoke and a faint smell of blood.The Ming soldiers couldn't help but clench their guns in unison, and continued to walk forward silently.The Spanish artillery roared continuously, and the advancing shield carts, one after another, were paralyzed, and the Ming soldiers left behind the broken shield carts, the fallen corpses and the wounded, and pulled into the distance from the Spanish phalanx.Franco saw the Ming soldiers braving the artillery fire and advancing forward in formation, and saw the Ming soldiers who were stoned to death and wounded, with a look of contempt on their faces.Hey, Franco, who was observing the battlefield, suddenly saw that after the Ming army passed by, a group of medical soldiers carried stretchers to stop the bleeding of the wounded soldiers rolling and wailing on the ground, and carried the wounded to the rear, and couldn't help but be a little curious.For a long time, the West was the life of the aristocracy, and soldiers died when they died, and it was not until the Crimean War that a relatively effective medical system was established.Just when Franco was surprised, on both sides of the Ming army's formation, suddenly there were several cannon shots, rising up clouds of gunsmoke, and several cannonballs weighing three to six pounds roared out, hitting the Spanish phalanx, and immediately one cannon and one line, and the dense Spaniards were killed more than ten people in an instant.This made Franco and the Spanish soldiers show an incredible look, they understand that the artillery used by the Ming army for field battles is a Franc machine gun, although the rate of fire is fast, but the power is small and the range is short, but they don't want the Ming army to also have field bronze cannons.The artillery bombardment of both sides, a thin layer of smoke rose above the frontal front of the two armies, and the advancing Ming soldiers could already clearly see the Spanish spear formation raising like a forest of spears, as well as the neatly arranged musketeers on the corners of the spear array, as well as the artillery in front of the formation and in the gap between the phalanx, rising with gunsmoke.Under the artillery bombardment, the musketeers were in a dense formation, each occupying a width of only about two feet, and their arms were almost attached to the wall, advancing like a wall, and the soldiers were constantly hit by shells.Huo Jianyan looked at several field guns on the opposite side, and suddenly spewed out a stream of flames forward, a cloud of white smoke rose from the muzzle of the cannon, and as soon as the cannon body retreated, the Ming army's front was punched out of several gaps, and at the same time, the Ming army's bronze artillery also began to fire back, and the shells were whistling to cause confusion to the Spaniards.The Ming army had only five artillery pieces, but it still dealt a blow to the psychology of the Spaniards.Franco saw the Ming soldiers carrying the gun on his shoulder, the erected gun shaft was like a jungle of trees, the gun shaft rose and fell with the pace, braving the artillery fire unhindered, and felt the pressure in his heart, how could the Chinese be so resolute.At this time, the Ming army had already entered a hundred paces away, Franco had a gloomy face, waved his hand and ordered, and roared in a pitched voice, "Musketeers, defeat them!"
”The musketeers at both corners of the Spanish spear phalanx immediately raised their muskets, aimed at the Ming soldiers who were advancing neatly, and then opened fire in unison.The "bang bang bang" front rose white smoke, a burst of projectiles whistled out, and there was a crackling sound on the Ming army's front, and the projectiles hit the shield car, which was blocked by the thickened shield car, and only a few Ming sergeants fell to the ground after being shot.Seeing this, Franco couldn't help but be a little restless, but out of confidence in the Spanish soldiers, he just shouted: "Keep shooting!"
”The Spanish muskets burst into a field of white smoke, dense fires flickered, and the sound of salvos was deafening.Even with the shield car guarding, the Ming soldiers continued to fall to the ground, and there was a scream on the front, dozens of soldiers fell to the ground, but soon there were rear soldiers to fill the vacancy.In the blink of an eye, the Ming army advanced to fifty paces under the rain of bullets, Franco clenched his command knife in his hand, and the Ming army was about to stop and shoot at the Spanish musketeers.He gritted his teeth, the last time the Spanish musketeers were able to crush the Ming army in a confrontational shot, then this time it was the same.Just thinking about it, Franco saw that the Ming sergeant had collapsed a distance of fifty paces, and actually continued to advance, and suddenly said in shock: "God, why don't the Chinese stop!"
