Chapter 585 Spanish Phalanx VS Whole Family Army Negotiation is impossible to have results, if these people are still poor and miserable, still domestic slaves or servants of the gentry, they will feel that there is no point in resisting, it is a big deal to change the master, or the new master is better.The problem, however, is that they have all become propertied classes, and in the town of Shenhu in Luzon, they own at least 800 acres of land per capita.Of course, these 800 acres of land cannot be fully cultivated, some are fruit groves, some are pastures, some are rubber trees, and some are spice gardens.In any case, they can earn at least one or two hundred taels of silver a year, and they can eat and drink, and they don't have to worry about anything.The Chinese people can't move two things.The first is their wives and children, and the second is their fields and houses, whoever moves their land, no matter how strong the other party is, they will fight hard.Just when Yang Miaolu wanted to say something more, a young militiaman held a hunting bow and aimed it at Yang Miaolu is an arrow.Yang Miaolu didn't dodge, he was shot in the arm, this arrow was very powerful, and it directly penetrated the arm, with the medical technology of this era, Yang Miaolu's arm was considered useless."
Good job, Zhang Dingguo!""
Don't call me Zhang Dingguo, I'm Li Dingguo now!"
Li Dingguo, naturally, is Li Dingguo in that history, he was sent to Luzon as a prisoner in the sixth year of Chongzhen, when he fought a decisive battle with Lu Xiangsheng.Becoming an ordinary Luzon immigrant, Li Dingguo was too young to be adopted by Shen Sifang, the sheriff assigned by the Immigration Bureau to Shenhu Town.Shen Sifang thought that Zhang Dingguo was surnamed Zhang, this Zhang was only changed by Zhang Xianzhong, after coming to Luzon, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, Li Dingguo grew more than ten centimeters taller in just over a year, and he was only thirteen years old, and he was already more than one meter seven, in this era, he was already a big man.Just after Li Dingguo's arrow, the war inevitably began."
Fire, fire!"
When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.But in the same way, Spain's empire on which the sun never sets, is not blown out, but relies on real achievements.As the Spanish Army's artillery began to fire, the first shot was successful, a militiaman looked out from behind the women's wall, and one of the dozen shells coincidentally entered through the gap in the women's wall.Cut off the militiaman's head at once, and the militiaman didn't even have time to scream.More than a dozen militiamen from rogue backgrounds trembled with fear.Although the artillery of the Tianxiong Army is sharp, it is still worse than these Westerners."
All fucking squat, squat, don't listen to orders again, die in vain, and don't pay twenty taels of pensions!"
Shen Sifang pointed at several militiamen who were about to move and shouted: "If you want to make money, it's not this way to make money!"
Squat down and hide!
”Under the cover of the Westerners' artillery, the pirates launched an attack, and the Shenhu Town Fort was not in danger to defend, and the advantage of all the pirates and mercenaries was brought into play.They flocked to Shenhu Town Fort like a tidal wave.Several militiamen were hit by shells one after another, but the militia of Shenhu Town did not enter the fire, and the disadvantage of numbers made them have to defend passively.Just half an hour after the beginning, Shenhu Town was in a hurry everywhere, I have to say that under the command of Zheng Zhilong, who has been trained in Spain, the casualties can withstand frighteningly high, as the first wave of more than 3,000 people attacked, three or four hundred casualties, but there is no sign of retreat, but in many places, the ladder has been successfully erected.As a commander, Shen Sifang was under a lot of pressure, and he hurriedly shouted: "Steady, steady, don't worry, put them close before fighting!"
”Colonel Juan Carlos saw that some mercenary soldiers had climbed the city walls, and the defenders' counterattack was not as tight as expected: "It's done, half an hour at most, the city will be ours!"
”Yang Miaolu stared at Shenhu Zhenbao resentfully: "I thought they were strong, but it turned out to be just cooked ducks, and the meat was rotten!"
”Another Nanyang Chinese said contemptuously: "That's it, these Ming dogs are just bluffing, if there is no city wall to protect them, they are not vulnerable at all!"
”The slap in the face came very timely, and just when Yang Miaolu thought that these pirates and mercenaries could capture Shenhu Town in one go, there were many changes on the city wall.First of all, the women who cooperated with the defense of the city, wearing masks and carrying large spoons with long handles, scooped up the boiling gold juice and poured it on the mercenaries on the ladders.The taste of gold juice is not easy to keep, no matter how many layers of heavy armor you wear, this kind of blow is very comprehensive, and those pirates and mercenaries who attack are burned to the skin and flesh are torn apart.They let out a scream like killing pigs, and when they were attacked by this golden juice, the offensive momentum suddenly weakened, and the first wave of attacks still suffered a crushing defeat in front of the golden juice.However, the Westerners soon organized another wave of attacks, and these attacking troops were mainly Japanese samurai, these came from the Japanese samurai, the cheapest cannon fodder, they ate little, obeyed, and extremely obedient.With an order, these Japanese samurai raised a kind of shaking shield and launched an attack on Shenhu City.Shields, especially dome-type shields, can indeed resist the attack of gold juice, and it is not unsolvable to deal with gold juice, even if you hold an umbrella, you can block it, as long as the skin of the body does not directly touch the gold juice, the casualties will be greatly reduced.However, Shen Sifang was watching these hires barefoot, and suddenly had an idea: "Sprinkle thistle!"
”Tribulus terrestris, in fact, is not the equipment for defending the city, but because of the building materials.On the farms of Luzon, there are some natives who have not been exterminated, and they often go to the farms to steal.In order to prevent these natives from climbing the wall, cement was used to fix thistle terrestris, especially rusty thistle, as long as it was punctured, it was easy to get tetanus.The main material of this thistle terrestris is a variety of scrap materials for manufacturing tools, which are made up of various shapes and sizes, and the key is that they are cheap and in large quantities.It can be placed not only on the wall, but also on the orchard and the necessary road, which is especially effective against the natives who do not like to wear shoes.At this moment, a scream rang out: "Ah......
My feet!!
”"There are hidden weapons on the ground, and there are hidden weapons on the ground!""
It hurts......"
"Damn the Ming people......"
The screams came and went, obviously rushing forward a dozen steps to climb the ladder and climb the city wall to slash the militia of Shenhu Town, these Japanese samurai covered the bloody soles of their feet one by one, and tears came out of pain.This kind of little thing is very inconspicuous, but if you don't wear shoes, stepping on it will definitely hurt you to cry dad and call your mother, and most Japanese samurai don't have the habit of wearing shoes.They are good at sneak attacks, and when they wear shoes, they will make a sound when they walk, which is not good for sneak attacks, so now they are hit.These inconspicuous hidden weapons brought the wave of Japanese samurai onslaught to an abrupt halt, while the militia did not stop, pouring guns one after another, sweeping down the rows of Japanese samurai who were holding their feet and screaming loudly.The militia of Shenhu Town in front of him is only about a hundred people who will die, and there are only thirty or forty muskets firing each time, why is it so difficult!
Oh, by the way, although there are not many of them, but the density of fire is extremely amazing, a salvo every ten seconds, endlessly, as if their barrels will never get hot, and the bullets in the chamber will never run out!
Damn, how did they reload so quickly?
What kind of muskets did they use, the rate of fire was at least twice as fast as that of ordinary muskets!
Now it's a problem.In fact, it is not that the militia muskets in Shenhu Town are advanced, but because there are many of these muskets, the people of Shenhu Town now, adults and children are all in battle, without any reservations, and the children also load the muskets in accordance with the regulations, and those young men and women are responsible for shooting.In this way, the density of musket fire must have increased greatly, however, the biggest problem in Shenhu Town was because of the small number of people, and the European Combined Fleet carried a large amount of cannon fodder, especially the cheap Japanese, who were cheaper than the black mercenaries.And he defected to Zheng Zhilong by himself, and he had to pay a salary to recruit black mercenaries, these Japanese didn't even have a salary, they just had to take care of the food, and they didn't have to eat too well, they could eat any disgusting food."
Brother Shen, did you say that Master Hou would send someone to support us?"
The biggest problem in Shenhu Town is that there are few people, if it is a full town, it will not be so embarrassing, the key is that Shenhu Town is too few people.At this moment, the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, Shen Sifang held the binoculars and looked in the direction of the south, only to see the smoke and dust billowing on the dirt road in the south, and it seemed that a large number of people and horses were approaching.In the line of sight of the telescope, these militiamen held the flags of various towns and forts, such as Guosong Town, Zhangliu Town, Dongtaige Town, and so on."
Brother, reinforcements are coming!"
In fact, at this time, only the reinforcements from various towns and forts arrived, and under the leadership of Pang Xingwang, the magistrate of Fengzhou, two or three thousand men and horses came to support.Pang Xingwang is a graduate of the advanced advanced training class of the Liao Military Academy and a major brigade chief of staff of the Marine Brigade.The military discipline of the whole family army is really severe, and Pang Xingwang's mistake, even if it is placed in the Tianxiong army, is not a mistake.When Pang Xingwang landed on Kyushu Island in Japan, he captured Kuroda Issei's daughter, and he didn't know why he was so obsessed with his mind that he actually wanted to marry Kuroda as his wife.It's just that Quan Xu didn't want to open this opening, so he quit the active duty of the whole family army and became a sheriff in Fengzhou.Fortunately, Pang Xingwang came in time, otherwise, Shenhu Town would not have been able to support it for long, but in the case of a field war, the two or three thousand militia under Pang Xingwang's command were really not the opponents of the European joint landing force.Although the equipment of the Luzon militia is not backward in the Ming Dynasty, what the militia lacks is artillery, and artillery is only available in county towns or state towns.Seeing the arrival of reinforcements from Fengzhou, Colonel Juan Carlos looked at Zheng Zhilong and said, "Zheng, your chance to perform has come!"
”In fact, Colonel Juan Carlos is also very much looking forward to the outcome of the Spanish phalanx against the whole family army.
