Lord of Ming Dynasty

After they rushed out, the wounded soldiers of the Huaxia Army covered them with bows, arrows and muskets, guarding the second line of defense behind the wall.

More and more enemies poured in, and the sound of crackling arquebus guns could not stop the enemy's impact, so the Huaxia Army finally dispatched the last wave of soldiers to recharge their batteries.

Arquebusiers in six rows, flintlock gunners.

Matchlock guns are the supplies to support the Ming army, but the Ming army has long been dead and wounded, so they can only be used by those cavalrymen. On the third line of defense, a boxy, irregular square camp is the last line. Stand on the defensive line and strike the enemy.

The other chasseurs and dragoons, and even scout battalion cavalry and cavalry battalion, lined up in the open space of the camp to defend.

Standing on the newly built watchtower, Zhang Qiang calmly watched the battle around him.

The enemies are like locusts, wave after wave, like zombies, flooding in from all around to attack the Huaxia army.

The troops of the two companies of Engineer Baihu and Supplies Baihu have already been put into the battle against the enemy's attack. They are melee combat troops. Although they are only auxiliary troops, their predecessors are regular troops of the Jinhua Rebel Army. Troops fighting with weapons, these people are just right for such a battle, and they must be no worse than the elite troops of the Qing army.

Although the number is small, facing the mercenary cannon fodder troops bought by the Portuguese, they are still fighting vigorously. Now the enemy still cannot occupy the second line of defense. More than 1000 people from the Huaxia Army are guarding the second line of defense.

The battle was fought on the second line of defense, and the musketeers on the third line of defense, who could hit the enemy from a distance, were all shooting.

The enemy is like a wave of waves, and they are shot to death as soon as they enter the second line of defense.

What can be calculated is how many Chinese troops will be consumed by so many enemies.

The time has come to test the Huaxia Army, whether they can hold on, and finally wait until the decisive battle with the Taixi people.

Chapter 398 won and persisted.

Feng Quan was walking up and down on one side of the high ground restlessly, Kong Youxing and Ma Deli were restlessly waiting for the news, looking at the dilapidated enemy camp in the distance from time to time.

A war horse rushed over, "We have won, we have won, we have broken the enemy's camp."

A cavalryman came to report the victory.

"Where, that camp?" Feng Quan walked up a few steps and asked anxiously.

"Yes, that one, a smaller camp." The cavalry pointed to the enemy camp hundreds of meters away.

"Hey, let's explore again." Feng Quan didn't care about the camp with the flag of the Ming army, because he knew that there were not many Ming troops in that camp, and under such an intense attack, defeat was an inevitable result.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army, although the Ming army here is very tenacious, but he is not optimistic about the Ming army.

In the battle with Li Zicheng's troops, it was not the Ming army that did not fight to the death. In the battle with the Qing army, there were also such troops.

What's the use?

The Ming army still lost the great rivers and mountains. Now the key is the Huaxia army. If this army can be completely wiped out, then the Huaxia army is also finished. This is the result Feng Quan and the Taixi people want.

Looking over there again, the camp next to it was full of flames and thunderous cheers, many Qing troops poured out from there, and turned to attack the camp next to it, the camp of the Huaxia Army.

After the Huaxia Army had endured greater pressure than Su Zhengqing and his camp, they were under increased pressure again.

There are not many remnants of the Ming army and civilian husbands left on the wall of the stronghold. Dozens of remnants of the Ming army and civilian husbands who survived with wounds on their bodies, the Qing army and the former mercenary cannon fodder who were poured in from the second wave The remaining people pressed and retreated into the second line of defense in pursuit.

The Qing army climbed up the wall of the village, and a rain of arrows flew towards the second line of defense. The remnants of the Huaxia army who blocked the gap also retreated to the second line of defense. While participating in the counterattack, the Qing army shot bows and arrows.

"It's too bad. Let the soldiers on the second line of defense retreat and come up to the four corners of the third line of defense to help stabilize the third and last line of defense. The musketeers opened fire with all their strength," Zhang Qiang shouted.

Zhang Qiang saw that the enemy's stamina was not enough. The cannon fodder mercenaries who attacked in front were basically beaten to collapse, and their morale was low. Even if there were massacres and persecution, they still didn't want to attack the second line of defense.

Now came the Japanese ronin, the Qing army, and the cavalry troops, as well as the gray cattle Indian troops of the Taixi people. Both sides fired at each other with bows, arrows and muskets.

Governor Javier also came in with the Indian troops. He climbed up a wall and observed from a distance whether it was the Ming or Qing troops, the Portuguese, the Dutch, and Zheng Chenggong who commanded the southeast coast. The pirates feared the troops.

In order to defeat this army, the Portuguese sacrificed thousands of young and strong people among all the Ming people in their territory; Less than 3000 people can stand up, but they have collected nearly 3 such worthless and free cannon fodder soldiers.

In order to defeat this army, their hired sailors, the organized Taixi people's militia Xiangyong, and the combatable sailors on each ship can be drawn out, even the cooks, have been drawn out, thousands of troops, currently only Together with those gray cattle Indians are attacking this force.

At present, it seems that the losses have been heavy, and less than 500 people can retreat from thousands of people. Depending on the situation, they have already collapsed, and maybe they don't want to fight in this life.

Those gray animals, Indians, have sacrificed more than 1 people since fighting with the Ming army. In the two days of fighting, those who were killed by shells, those who beat themselves to death, were executed by them, and fought with the Chinese army , Thousands of people were killed by cannons and musket bullets. At present, there are not many left, and there are probably more than 3000 people.

The British must be dying of pain, those are all silver coins.

Fortunately, the Spaniards didn't hire many people, and they didn't spend much money. It was just at the right time that they brought in thousands of Manila natives and hundreds of hired sailors.

The attacking troops were very powerful and large in number. Even if ten of them fought against one enemy, they were still very successful. They consumed several thousand troops of the Ming army and consumed about seven or eight thousand troops of the enemy. The Ming troops seen here There were no more than a few hundred soldiers in the army, and everyone else died or was captured.

Now, they were like eggs hitting a rock, and there was nothing they could do but die, and they couldn't do much damage to the enemy.

He is not surprised, this is normal, and the Spaniards often fight such battles in Manila. No matter how many, tens of thousands of enemies wielding swords and spears cannot do it under the fire of hundreds of matchlock guns. Do not collapse, do not perish.

The corpses almost flooded the internal streets and camp areas of the camp at a distance of 50 to [-] meters.

Those who charge behind must carefully bypass or climb over the corpses before they can attack the enemy. There are too many corpses.

The sound of crackling muskets was like an invisible barrier, preventing all attacking enemies from approaching within 100 meters of the Huaxia Army.

Watching, looking at him, a chill suddenly rose in his heart. If this continues, after the cannon fodder is finished, won't they have to face the Huaxia Army head-on?

It was also shot on the opposite side. Why did the muskets of the Huaxia Army hit the enemy at such a distance?

Ordinarily, matchlock guns are not very accurate at this distance, but now, those cannon fodder charging are now Japanese ronin. They are so brave and have such ferocious faces, why can't they charge within 100 meters of the enemy? ?

This troop strength is not too much, not so dense. The arquebus can cause such accurate damage and lethality to such a sparse enemy troop, so how many people will your troop die if you fight against the Portuguese or your own troop? Can it advance to a distance of 50 meters and shoot at the enemy?

He had already seen the Qing army and the Japanese ronin from both directions fall one by one, but they couldn't get close to the enemy. Those generals desperately commanded the soldiers to charge up, but they all turned into corpses or howling wounded.

Just as he was thinking about this question, a muzzle-loading flintlock gun was aimed at him, and when he was puzzled and turned his head in doubt, looking at the position of the Huaxia Army, "Pa——" With a gunshot, Javier, the new governor of Spain who was still in a daze, was hit in the head by a bullet as thick as a thumb, shook a bit, and fell straight down under the surprised eyes of the Spanish officers protecting him, dead.

Commanding the Spanish mercenaries who joined later, as well as hundreds of Spanish soldiers who put on their armor and held a few-meter-long spear, and were about to go up to help the cannon fodder fight, the commander suddenly turned around and saw all this. Amidst the screams, his legs trembled, and he turned around with difficulty. After hearing a clear gunshot, he looked down at his uncomfortable chest, screamed, and fell down.

The Spaniard's troops suddenly scattered, and then, without a leader, hundreds of Spanish soldiers dropped their weapons and fled.

Their escape caused panic among the attacking soldiers nearby, just like the ripples caused by a stone thrown into the water. This effect was transmitted in all directions, causing the entire battlefield to collapse.

Even if thousands of Japanese iron gunners launched a rhythmic attack, they still couldn't stop this escape.

Tens of thousands of soldiers dispersed in a rush, and climbed out of the camp held by the Huaxia Army with all hands and feet.

Chapter 399 Counterattack 1

The collapse of the Spanish soldiers caused the morale of the entire battlefield, which was already extremely depressed, to drop to zero. Then, even facing the threat of the death of the supervising team, it was better than rushing to the front and tearing the invisible barrage of the Huaxia Army to pieces. People are more gratified, not to mention the collapse of the Spanish warlords gave the oppressed mercenaries on the entire battlefield a vent.

This is what led to the big defeat.

It can be considered that the Spanish soldiers have a bit of conscience. They hurriedly carried the body of the captain of the lieutenant of the unlucky supervising team out of the battlefield. far away.

"Beep beep—beep beep—" the loud bugle sounded.Zhang Qiang seized the opportunity in time to launch a counterattack.
