Lord of Ming Dynasty

If you look closely, you can see war machines that look like catapults in the woods on the hillside in the distance.

The Ming army's side is much simpler. A trench, probably imitating the other side, and then there are various camps behind the camps, and behind the camps are tent companies for more than ten miles.

On the hills and in the camps, there are also artillery pieces, each doing their own thing. It is estimated that a company or a camp is a force, a camp, or a general's camp.

The Portuguese used trenches, terrain, and fortifications to block the Ming army. The Ming army still defended against the Qing army in the past. Various camps, like cities, fought on their own. It can be seen that the Ming army has far more cavalry. It is estimated that the Portuguese do not have so many cavalry, so they are on the defensive. After all, in this era, the cavalry is like tanks in World War II. The attack of the Ming army was restrained, and the Ming army could not be driven away, or they could be beaten out.

What are the Portuguese and those Tessians trying to do?

There are refined troops who don't use them, and use some cannon fodder and garbage to fight against the Ming army. Do they just ignore life like this?

From the descriptions of the battles between the two sides these days, we can know that the Portuguese only sent hundreds of their own regular troops to kill the Ming army's elite at the most critical moment of the battle, and then retreated, using cannons and bullets. The lives of those cannon fodders had a dialogue with the Ming army.

As a player of Zhimeiliu, Zhang Qiang has a lot of considerations. From a strategic point of view, from the perspective of the entire Ming Dynasty battlefield, he thinks that the Portuguese and those Thai and Westerners are playing a game together with the Qing army. , a bureau that can mobilize and contain the Huaxia Army.

Because with the rise of the Huaxia Army and the trade between the Huaxia Army and these Thai and Western people, what the Qing army saw was the prosperity of the Huaxia Army's territory, the strong source of troops in the Huaxia Army's territory, and the strength of the Huaxia Army. The weapons are advanced, but what the Taixi people see is the economic prosperity of the Huaxia Army territory, there is no shortage of goods and resources, such a piece of fat fresh meat, who would not want to take it for themselves, or take it with their partners, and share it and eat it Of.

This is what Westerners love to do most.

While Zhang Qiang was thinking wildly, the Ming army launched another attack on the opposite position.

Hundreds of peasants were driven to run on the enemy's position, carrying hoes, rakes, and large axes, apparently to clear the obstacles in front of the enemy's position, about two thousand townsmen were lining up behind, and in the middle were riding horses. A soldier of the Ming army who looks like a servant of a war horse.

The peasants quickly passed through the buffer zone in the middle of the two positions about five or six miles wide. The village warriors also carried spears, knives, bows and arrows, and followed forward. Some of them also carried hoes and hooks in their hands. Behind, On the hill, in front of the camp, the artillery on the fort began to fire.

It seems that Nanming has also learned to suppress firepower.

Maybe the range of these artillery can't hit the enemy's position at all, but when they fired, they emboldened the peasants and soldiers who charged ahead.

Soon there was confusion behind the enemy's positions, and large groups of the enemy entered the trenches, or lined up behind the hills, waiting to attack.

About five or six minutes later, the enemy's position also burst into flames and artillery.

This can hit the Ming army.

Immediately, there were casualties in the Ming army, and the civilian husbands panicked for a while, turned around and ran back.

But the Ming army would definitely not be so hasty and just launch a farce-like attack.

This may be they are showing Zhang Qiang their fighting power, showing how they can attack the Portuguese.

Even though they were afraid, some of the peasants still used the handle and the back of their knives to pat the peasants who were running back to drive them away.

It turned out that the Ming army also arranged a supervisory team among the civilian husbands, and they also wore the clothes of the civilian husbands, but they held big knives and axes in their hands.

After a moment of panic, the civilian husband was quickly suppressed and continued to attack reflexively.

The Portuguese did not attack, but let them destroy the obstacles. The obstacles were quickly cleared, and they were getting closer and closer to the Portuguese trenches.

At this time, a row of human heads emerged from the Portuguese trench, and they quickly bent their bows and shot arrows. The peasants were killed and wounded, but they continued to clear obstacles until they were about ten meters away from the enemy's trench. Go up, jump into the ditch and fight the Portuguese.

To be precise, it was fighting against the folks organized by the Portuguese.

The other party is also a bunch of civilian husbands.

Xiangyong followed up. They did not charge, but continued to clear obstacles and expand the attack area.

From a width of 30 meters to a width of 50 meters, from a width of [-] meters to a width of [-] meters in a fan shape.

By the time we moved forward to clear the enemy's trench, the passage area had become 50 meters wide.

The village braves jumped down the ditch to fight the enemy with their knives and guns.

Now the enemy's death and injury speed exceeds the civilian husband's death and injury speed.

The enemy quickly replenished their troops from the ditch on the side, as if being sucked by water, they quickly gathered together.

The battle between the two sides is inextricable.

At this time, Zhang Qiang saw that the Ming army sent out two more troops that had previously been deployed.

Just at the original place, the distance on both sides is less than 50 meters, and the distance is quickly advanced, pressing on.

The enemy reacted. The enemies gathered behind the sand dunes were wearing leather armor. Soldiers with knives and guns ran out quickly, ran a distance of 50 meters, and rushed to the front of the trench where the first wave of Ming troops rushed. Together.

Now the strength of both sides has reached more than 3000 people.

The enemy's artillery is still bombarding the outside of the trench, the area on the side of the Ming army, and now the artillery is bombarding the other two teams of the Ming army who are charging.

The two teams quickly dispersed. It seemed that this was not the first time they used this method to fight, and they also learned to spread out in front of the artillery fire to avoid the enemy's artillery fire.

But even so, the Ming army still suffered heavy casualties, which dealt a great blow to morale.

Some Ming army Xiangyong took the opportunity to escape, ran to the sides, or fled back.

The fate of fleeing back is definitely not good. There are cavalry around them intercepting and killing them and driving them away.

Zhang Qiang knew that this battle must be just the beginning, because neither the Ming army nor the Portuguese had committed any real combat troops.

Chapter 388 The Real Combat Situation 2

The specific commander is Huang Binqing.

Su Zhengqing, Li Guangdi, Li Guangxiong and others were watching the excitement in a camp with Zhang Qiang.

As the other two columns of Ming soldiers reached the front of the position, the Portuguese also sent more soldiers.

Su Zhengqing pointed to the back of the other two positions, "Look, Commander, there are Japanese ronin and Gurkha mercenaries behind there. It is impossible to guard against such a soldier, the Japanese ronin are flexible and brutal, and the Gurkhas are brave and fearless, so this attack may be defeated by them again."

"Is there no other way?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"There is no way, we send muskets and cannons out, but we can't beat the Portuguese, those Japanese and Gurkhas may not be able to beat the musketeers, but the gray Indians sent by the British are very good musketeers, although These guys are afraid of death, but when it comes to the use of muskets, they are like obedient children, and they can always keep their formations in order, our musketeers can't do it."

Zhang Qiang asked unwillingly: "Is that all? Can't you get something back?"

Su Zhengqing blushed, "It's not that we didn't gain anything. We fought from the county towns and prefectures seized by them all the way to besieging the enemy's base camp, the county town of Momenjing. These days, we pushed from the border to the enemy's doorstep. We directly surrounded the enemy and repelled the enemy's attack continuously. At present, we are only a dozen miles away from the enemy's county seat. I believe it will not take long before we can push the five-mile buffer zone in the middle and directly surround the enemy's county seat."

Zhang Qiang said without hesitation: "That means you repelled the enemy. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the enemy's numbers were too small and their troops were not many. They voluntarily gave up the occupied territory and retreated to the area where their troops could defend. Little by little Deplete your morale, deplete your source of troops.

Don't be careless, the enemy will definitely not retreat now after being compressed, and will definitely counterattack strongly. Order the soldiers to step up patrols, don't give the enemy a chance, keep an eye on the enemy, don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes, and run to Go behind you, then you will be surrounded and die without a place to bury you. "

"Yes, that's what the governor taught me." Li Guangdi agreed with Zhang Qiang's words, and he also understood how the enemy was defeated by the Ming army.

Previously, the enemy was careless, thinking that the Ming army would be at a disadvantage because of their strength, and occupied more places. Later, when they found that the enemy was strong, they retreated again and again. Later, they got reinforcements from other Taixi people and hired soldiers from all over the country. Their strength has also been strengthened, so the enemy is likely to launch a large counterattack.

Zhang Qiang can only talk about this. After all, he is no longer the governor of the two governments of Longwu Nanming. He is now the leader of the Huaxia Army on an equal footing with Longwu Nanming.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield changed. Seeing that the attack was difficult, Huang Binqing sent another [-] soldiers and horses. These soldiers and horses were regiments, imperial guards, and cavalry.
