Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 479
The tension on the Penamarkle battlefield was like increasing the density of the air, which made both the Spaniards and the Portuguese feel oppressed.

The Portuguese officers who were guarding the fortress were very excited when they first saw the reinforcements. Although it was only a cavalry, it showed that the reinforcements were about to arrive, and the morale of the fortress defenders improved.

I was even more ecstatic when I saw the Ming cavalry continue to destroy the Spanish positions.At this time, when the Ming Army led by Qian Erlang appeared on the two wings of the Western Army in two groups, the Portuguese knew that the general situation was settled, and they had already started singing praises on the fortress.

Although the battle of Penamarkle was not a small number of troops on both sides, it was actually confined to one place. The Spanish formation was very dense, and the width of the battlefield was only a few kilometers. The Western Army was still a dense phalanx, so Qian Erlang As soon as it came up, it split into two wings, wrapping the Spaniard in it.

After the Duke of Carasena saw the enemy, he even summoned the soldiers of the Western Army who surrounded the castle and shrunk further.

Qian Erlang couldn't help laughing when he saw the actions of the Western Army, and asked Gao Ning: "Do they think they can't die fast enough?"

The Ming Army has long lost the concept of dense phalanx. The Ming Army, which attaches great importance to infantry tactics, adopts a three-three system of skirmisher lines. Basically, twenty or thirty soldiers can pull out an 800-meter front.The Ming army did not like to fight idle battles, but was typically engaged in mobile warfare at all times. Therefore, the Ming army placed great emphasis on physical fitness and mobility training.

"Come on, after this game, we should go to the city for dinner!" Qian Erlang said with a smile.

He doesn't seem to need to make any complicated commands. The Ming Army has an extremely capable team of officers, and they are extremely professional.When the Ming army attacked the Western army on both sides with a pincer attack, the officers led the soldiers to press up, and shot at the Western army after getting within range.

In fact, the tactics of the Ming army also included cover and support, but it was not their turn to use any tactics in this kind of battle. The positions where the Ming army fired were basically out of the range of the Spaniards.After the Ming army opened fire, they first stood in a position, crawled and fired, and after the Spanish army suffered heavy losses, they began to shrink, and they rushed forward again.

The Spanish artillery, which was not very useful on the battlefield, was something the Ming army was more wary of.

As soon as the infantry entered the battle, Li Wan led the cavalry and began to detour and assault the artillery of the Western Army. Army artillery broke up.Because at this time, the person who actually manipulates the artillery is not the artilleryman, but something similar to a professional technician who belongs to the Artillery Technical Association.Although they had soldiers to protect them, the Ming cavalry who rushed up could quickly crush this group of people, destroy the artillery, and walk away.

This kind of battle is actually just shooting at the target, and the Western Army has nothing to do with such an enemy.In particular, the light and heavy machine guns of the Ming army were pushed to the front by the firepower, and a large number of soldiers of the Western Army fell to death.

The Duke of Carasena, who had never seen such a war scene, completely collapsed. In just a few minutes, nearly a thousand of his soldiers had been killed, and his soldiers had hardly fired their guns.

The line of skirmishers of the Ming army was so long that it completely surrounded the troops of the Western Army. The Western Army had no choice but to die.

"Can't fight, can't fight, surrender quickly!" Duke Caracena was not ready to sacrifice his life for Spain like this, so he hurriedly raised the white flag.

This raid aimed at attacking the supply line of the Five Nations Allied Forces finally came to an end.

The Ming army stopped attacking, and the Spaniards threw away their weapons, raised their hands above their heads, and accepted the Ming army's prisoners.

At this moment, the Ming army did not cheer, but the Portuguese in the city shouted like carnival.

When the Duke of Carasena was taken away by two Ming soldiers, the Duke was still muttering: "...So the Ming army is like this, so the Ming army is like this..."

His eyes were full of despair and fear: "No! It will really be destroyed by the Chinese, Madrid, will be trampled by the Chinese military boots!"

He talks crazy, but no one pays attention to him.Most of the soldiers under him were glad that they had saved their lives.There are many courageous soldiers among these soldiers, but no matter how brave they are, they cannot fight like this, and it is almost like giving away for nothing.

Just like the legendary stories about dragons sung by bards, people who have never seen dragons will be surprised at most, but they will not believe it.No matter how people who have been to the East spread the word about the power of the Eastern Empire, Europeans who have no intuitive experience will at most listen to it.But when the dragon really came in front of him, despair came.

When the Duke of Carasena saw Qian Erlang, he begged Qian Erlang and said: "Dear Commander, you have commanded a great battle, and I am convinced that I lost to you. Spain never intended to offend the Ming Empire, we did We sincerely respect the most powerful country in the world, and we are willing to make any necessary compensation to Daming, we only hope that the mighty Ming army will not enter Spain and bring the flames of war to the poor people there!"

Qian Erlang folded his arms and said: "Blood crimes must be paid for with blood. We are not here to occupy and plunder, we are here for justice. I won't teach you a lesson, and I won't completely destroy all evil people. Da Ming will not be peaceful with illusory illusions."

Duke Caracena's whole spirit was shattered. He knew that Spain would never be able to stop such an army.He even wanted to write a letter to the Spanish generals, asking them not to resist and sacrifice their lives in vain, so that the Ming army could enter Madrid directly, ask the king to apologize to them, and sign a treaty with no matter what the conditions. This nightmare ends sooner.

The Duke was taken away, and Qian Erlang commented on the Spaniard to Gao Ning: "Now I know I'm afraid, it's too late."

Gao Ning said: "I always feel that this global voyage, this war against Europeans, is originally the Holy One's hope that all countries and nations in the world will see clearly who the strongest empire in the world is, and make all nations submit. "

Qian Erlang grinned: "It's good. I think there's nothing wrong with the emperor's idea."

"The world is becoming closer than ever before. Anyone in any country will inevitably have contact with the outside world. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, maybe all nations came to Korea, but China didn't care much about the outside world. Now, it is obvious that we The emperor is going to rule over everything."
