Lord of Ming Dynasty

On the enemy's side, a group of Vietnamese with short stature and monkey-like face joined the battle. It seems that there are thousands of soldiers. On the other side, a group of soldiers who looked like Ming people also joined the battle.

Now the strength of the two sides on the battlefield has reached more than [-] people, and the fight spans three to five miles from east to west. The Ming army is still pressing down on the enemy. They have already crossed the enemy's trenches and compressed the enemy to a few hundred meters behind. Thousands of civilians ran up quickly, wielding foreign picks, shovels, and sandbags, and filled the enemy's trenches. The enemy sent Japanese ronin and Gurkha soldiers to join the battle. The battle situation suddenly became chaotic, and the Ming army showed signs of decline.

At this time, the Ming army sent more than 3000 people to join the battlefield, all wearing armor, waving weapons and equipment seized from the Qing army, as well as the Ming army's three-eyed blunderbuss, carrying guns, and fire blunderbuss, fighting with the enemy and protecting them. The actions of the civilian husband behind.

The trench filling operation seemed to be very successful. The enemy was in a hurry and sent sailor mercenaries, and mercenaries from various countries joined the battle.

Here, Su Zhengqing also sent more than 5000 regular soldiers of the Ming army to join the battle. Some of them were pushing cannons, and some were carrying various matchlock guns. They started to move from both sides of the battlefield. The impact caused the horse to neigh and scream again and again.

Now the strength of the two sides on the battlefield has reached as many as [-] to [-].

Gradually, the first trench was almost filled, and the civilian men of the Ming army began to build camps on one side of the trenches and dig trenches to protect the camps.

The enemy's artillery was still bombarding, but the Ming army continued to work regardless of the casualties. Seeing that the three camps were about to be erected in front of the first trench, trebuchets, watchtowers, and siege vehicles were pushed into the camps. The cannons were pulled and dragged into the camp, and the civilian husbands used wheelbarrows to push supplies and weapons into the camp.

At this time, an arquebus team composed of more than [-] Indians flashed out from behind, and behind them were armored soldiers from various countries, all wrapped in heavy armor, arranged in a neat queue, and appeared behind the battle line.

One mile, 300 meters, 200 meters, the Indians pushing the artillery began to bombard the troops fighting in front with cannons under the command of the Thai and Western people wearing distinctive military uniforms from various countries.

The teams on both sides were in disarray.

No one would have thought that the enemy would bombard indiscriminately.

At this time, Su Zhengqing of the Ming Army was no longer with Zhang Qiang, not even Li Guangxiong.

An army of [-] people flashed out from behind the Ming army.

The costumes are different, some are regiment training, some are from the former Ming army, and some are from the new Ming army.

The battlefield was full of fighting soldiers and fleeing soldiers everywhere, in a panic, but the Ming army and the Portuguese coalition forces who were mixed in the middle turned a blind eye and kept moving forward, as did the Ming army.

It can be seen that on the two wings, the cavalry of the Qing army is gathering the Portuguese team, and the cavalry of the Ming army is gathering their own team.

Soon the Portuguese reached the center of the battlefield, but both their own people and the Ming army in front of them were killed by a row of guns, clearing a large open space.

However, the large troops of the Ming army were still marching three miles away, about three miles away from the fort camp established in front.

"Governor, get out of here, maybe the enemy will hit here." Li Guangdi said anxiously with sweat dripping down his forehead.

"There is at least six miles away from here. Could it be that the enemy will come here?" Zhang Qiang asked strangely.

"Yes, every time the Portuguese will fight here, it may fall, it may be defended, but the bullets have no eyes, it is better for the governor to retreat to a safe place."

Li Guangdi said anxiously to Zhang Qiang as if he knew the result.

"It doesn't matter. If the enemy hits here, I will help you block it. My troops will take over the three camps here. Don't worry about it. If you want to retreat, go down first." Zhang Qiang stood still and said calmly.

"Well, why did this old man leave the governor alone? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, ransacking the family and destroying the family. Forget it, the old man will accompany the governor to watch the battle here." Li Guangdi said helplessly.

"If you feel unsafe, you can go down. I don't blame you. I give you an order. You take it to Longwu for business. My life and death have nothing to do with you." Zhang Qiang said.

"The old man should stay here!" Li Guangdi couldn't leave either.

Zhang Qiang smiled.

"Let the guard regiment take over the defense here, and the Chasers and Dragoons retreat to the back for about a mile and stand by." Although it was very difficult, Zhang Qiang still made some arrangements, at least to be ready for battle.

Then I went back to observe the battle between the Ming army and the Portuguese.

Chapter 389 The Real Combat Situation 3

The battle has entered a fierce state.

The stranded Ming army in the middle of the Ming army battlefield rushed towards the enemy's team bravely, but was killed by the enemy's platoon guns. Few of them could rush into the enemy's team and cause damage to the enemy. Most of them were the previous cavalry, but the casualties, It seems that all the cavalry are dead, and the enemy has only a few dozen casualties.

On a battlefield of 6 to [-] people, dozens of casualties were not even a wave.

Among the enemy's 2 troops, apart from the dead and wounded, about a few thousand people fled back. On the side of the Ming army, the most recovered people were the 3000 civilians sent out earlier. These people have not been exposed to too many battles. More than [-] people fled back, and hundreds of others were trapped in the camp that had just been built. Under the urging of the soldiers of the Ming army who were fleeing back, they desperately reinforced the camp.

In the battle between the cavalry on both sides, the Qing cavalry must be stronger than the Ming cavalry. The Ming cavalry could no longer cover the Ming soldiers who fled to both sides.

In the end, there were almost 3000 soldiers of the Ming army. The civilian husbands fled into the camp built to Banlazi. About 3000 other soldiers fled back here, all of them fled into the camp here, and some soldiers even fled to In the company camp a few miles behind, there was chaos somewhere.

The team of the Ming army has approached the camp for more than a mile.

The Portuguese detachments had already begun to attack the Banlazi camps.

Bombarded by cannons and fired by volleys of guns, those Taixi soldiers in armor rushed into the camp from the gap to fight with the Ming soldiers inside, almost an overwhelming massacre.

At this time, the Ming army knew that it was impossible to advance any further, so they stopped at the edge of Yili and began to set up artillery, organize the team, raise their guns, and prepare to fight against the enemy's army.

Thousands of cavalry came out of the camp behind the Ming army to reinforce the large troops of the Ming army, and those soldiers who had retreated were also regrouped to guard the camp.

The cannons in the camp here, except for those weighing a thousand catties, are still firing, and the others have stopped, because they can't hit that far, and they also know that they can only hear the sound.

Finally, the enemy's large force crossed the newly established camp that was no longer a threat and was dying, and stopped 300 meters in front of the Ming army's large force. At this time, the Ming army's artillery had already set up and began to bombard their team.

I have to say that the support of the Chinese army Longwu Nanming is still very strong. Those cannons were captured by the Qing army, and there are some four-pound guns, eight-pound guns, and ten-pound guns that were eliminated by the Chinese army before and were not included in the standard artillery ranks. Cannons, together with the original artillery of the Ming army, raised their guns and severely injured the Indian-dominated troops that had just stabilized.

The Indians also began to cry and shout for their mothers and became chaotic. If it weren't for the suppression of the officers of the Thai-Western coalition army, the Indians would also be in chaos.

The two rounds of artillery caused at least thousands of injuries to the Indian team. Even those Thais suffered dozens of casualties, and the team became scattered.

At this time, thousands of people ran out from behind the Portuguese position, most of them were soldiers who had not been killed in the previous fight, and began to dig trenches desperately in front of the camp, demolish the camp of the Ming army, or join in the massacre of the remaining Ming army.

When the Ming army fired the third round of artillery, the Portuguese artillery also fired.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties and demoralized.

The Portuguese also used trebuchets to smash the Ming army, and the Ming army used primitive weapons such as bed crossbows to shoot the Indians, and the cavalry on both sides fought fiercely on both sides.

Both sides now have more than [-] casualties.

The Ming army was more brutal, probably up to 5000 people, and lost a lot more supplies and equipment than the Portuguese.

A war waged for one side's territory and one side's commercial interests has killed almost 10 people.

The people who shed the most blood were the blood of the Ming people, followed by the blood of the Southeast Asian natives around the Ming Dynasty, and the Taixi people, these Westerners killed or injured at most a thousand people.

This is the estimated statistic that the nagging Li Guangdi told Zhang Qiang.

"I'll let them repay them a hundred times and use other methods." Zhang Qiang said.

When the Portuguese started to fight back, it showed the strength of the Portuguese. The obedient Indian army they trained played well with discipline and volley, but the Ming army was not so tough, firing a round of guns , Hundreds of people fell, and the team was in chaos. Even those soldiers who insisted on shooting did not cause much damage to the enemy.

Hundreds of casualties were exchanged for dozens of enemy deaths. These deaths were all Indian gray cattle, and some Vietnamese, and only one or two British died, and a few people were injured. People from other countries who did not see the death.

Two rounds of shooting, the enemy killed more than 100 people, and more than 1000 people were killed and injured here. Now the officers couldn't hold back the bullets, and led their troops to retreat. Casualties shoot, shoot, reload, shoot again.
