Chapter 259: Defeat Spain


The Spanish musketeers fired another volley, and the Spanish soldiers in the front row could vaguely see the shield carts of the Ming army being splashed with cotton wool, and the advancing Ming soldiers kept falling, but immediately someone filled the vacancy and formed a complete front.This gave Franco, the commander of the Western Army, and the Spanish soldiers who were shooting with muskets in their hands, an illusion that their musket shots would not work against the Ming army.The Ming army continued to fill the vacancy, and then continued to move forward, so that the Spanish musketeers had a feeling that the Ming army was killing endlessly, and a sense of powerlessness instantly surged into their hearts.This made the Spaniards, who were shooting with muskets, begin to panic a little, and the Spanish soldiers with spears also appeared in a commotion.Since the Ming army was not routed by the Spanish musketeers, and did not stop at fifty paces to shoot, they continued to advance at the risk of casualties, which terrified everyone.The musketeers fired in fear and continued to fire, unable to hinder the Ming army and fail to prevent the Ming army from approaching.The Spanish spearmen feared that as the distance closed, their sturdy armor would be pierced by projectiles when the Ming army raised their guns and fired, thus reaping their lives.At forty paces, the Spanish musketeers fired another volley on the smoke-filled Western front, but the power was not as strong as before, and the musketeers were confused when loading and returning the queue.In the sound of "bang, bang, bang" muskets, the Ming soldiers kept falling, and the soldiers of the Western Army were even more frightened than the Ming soldiers who were shot.Under the bombardment of muskets, the Ming army continued to advance without the slightest intention of stopping.Under the power of the wall, the mighty Spaniards, too, were frightened, and the muskets began to be placed indiscriminately, and the spear arrays appeared to loosen."

Why don't they stop!""

Why don't you stop!"

At a distance of thirty paces, the Ming army's flintlock pistols were already capable of piercing the entire plate of armor on the chest of the heavily armored soldiers, and the arquebus was enough to inflict heavy damage on the Spaniards.This made the Spanish soldiers, who were originally strong in armor and fearless, thinking that it would be difficult for the Ming army to hurt them, suddenly found that the heavy iron armor on their bodies could not bring them safety, and they were suddenly frightened and nervous, and watched the Ming soldiers continue to move forward in amazement.In front of the smoke caused by the shooting of the Western Army's muskets, a long whistle finally sounded, and Huo Jianyan suddenly roared, "The front army stops!"

”When the surrounding soldiers heard his shout, they immediately shouted in unison: "Stop!"

”The shield chariot soldiers, who were advancing like a wall, suddenly stopped in unison, and formed a curved shield wall thirty paces away from the front of the Spanish phalanx."

Musketeers stop!"

At the moment when the shield car stopped, the Ming soldiers who were carrying the guns on their shoulders slammed into the ground with their right feet and stood still.In the process of advancing, the Ming army suffered artillery bombardment, musket shooting, and after a long march, the front was somewhat distorted, but it generally stopped at about thirty paces.In an instant, the advancing Ming army turned from movement to stillness, and the sound of horns and war drums on the battlefield suddenly disappeared, causing the Spaniards on the opposite side to show a frightened look on their faces, and they forgot to move for a while."

Ready!"

Huo Jianyan commanded the knife to be held high.The two rows of Ming sergeants standing at the front, in a shout, lowered their muskets on their shoulders and aimed their guns at the Spaniards opposite.A gust of sea breeze blew, the smoke cleared, and the Spaniards were clearly visible, and on the opposite line of the Ming army, raising their muskets and aiming at their Ming soldiers.They saw that the Ming army was about to fire a volley, and their fear instantly spread in the Spanish phalanx.Two columns of musketeers in the front row of the Ming army converged into a thick line to ensure that the first round of gun firing was enough to crush the Spaniards.For this reason, the Ming army formed two columns in a row, and the muskets were staggered, which strengthened the firepower.In the face of the dense fire of muskets aimed at them, some of the Spanish soldiers shouted in panic, some continued to reload with trembling hands, and some wanted to hinder."

Aim!

Put!

”Huo Jianyan hissed and howled as hard as he could.The Ming musketeers, who flattened more than 500 muskets, aimed their heads at the Spaniards opposite, and then pulled the trigger together, the hammer clicked, and sparks were sparked, and the chamber instantly emitted a series of "bang bang" gunshots, and the muskets in the hands of the Ming soldiers instantly sprayed orange gun flames and white smoke.Five hundred muskets were fired, and the rising gunpowder smoke filled the front, and a white dragon appeared on the Ming army's front, while countless projectiles roared towards the enemy.The projectiles fired from the muskets swept across the earth like a storm, and the lead bullets shot into the Spanish phalanx with a screech, violently tearing through the plates and armor of the Spanish soldiers, making a continuous sound of metal crashing and popping into the flesh, bringing up a puff of blood mist.In an instant, the Spaniards fell backwards in rows as if they were cutting wheat, and the Spanish soldiers were hit, and immediately their intestines were pierced, their limbs were broken, and the screams resounded through the field.The corpse of the Spaniard, in an instant, discharged a thick line on the ground, which stunned Franco!

At this time, the Ming army immediately retreated after firing a shot, and the second platoon of soldiers stepped forward, raised their muskets, and once again aimed at the Spaniards exposed to the guns.The Spaniards returned fire sporadically, hitting the shield cart, and the Ming soldiers who were about to shoot again when they looked at the Ming soldiers who raised their muskets behind the shield cart were about to shoot again, and the Spanish soldiers behind them collapsed instantly.At a distance of thirty paces, the Spanish spearmen who were under the guns of the Ming army felt as if they were standing naked under the guns.Just now, the Ming army fired a volley of 500 muskets, killing and wounding more than 300 Spaniards, and the first few rows of soldiers in the first two phalanxes of Spain were swept away by muskets, and the losses directly exceeded 30%, so that the Spanish soldiers behind collapsed instantly.When the second row of muskets of the Ming army was about to fire a volley, the Spanish soldiers facing the muzzles of the guns finally collapsed like a flood bursting the embankment, and they all collapsed one after another.Franco saw the defeat of the two phalanxes in front of him, his face was full of horror, but he didn't expect the Ming army to defeat the invincible Spanish phalanx with a volley."

Damn, don't back down!"

Franco roared wildly.At this moment, the musketeers of the second row of the Ming army pulled the trigger again, and countless projectiles whistled out again.There was a popping sound of flesh, and it broke back, and the Spanish soldiers who were crowded together immediately suffered another dense fire blow, and in an instant the ground was covered with the corpses of the Spaniards, a thick layer, which was shocking.Seeing the Spanish front rushing, the Ming army no longer hesitated, and their faces showed ecstasy.Under the banner of the Ming army, Zhao Ming immediately pulled out his knife and roared angrily, "Infantry assault, kill me!"
