too quiet?

Esteban froze for a moment, feeling the surrounding atmosphere.

It seems to be true!

The chirping of insects, the chirping of birds, and the sound of frogs are all gone.

Thinking of the usual style of these rebels, Esteban also reflected, ambush!

There must be an ambush.

"My lord? What should I do?" Esteban whispered while holding his breath.

Franco glared at him, damn, why are you so quiet?

"Pull out the cannon and point it forward! Put two cannons on!"

"But why didn't you see anyone firing?"

"Let's see it!"

"Pull it all out?"

"No, right now we don't know where the other party is. There are fifty doors in each direction. Take turns and see if they come out or not!"

"it is good!"

Esteban nodded to accept the order, and ordered people to pull out the artillery behind the team, and set fifty guns in each of the four directions.

In the distance, Lu Jiang was lying on the side of the ditch observing the other party's situation by the moonlight.

When he saw that the other party stopped suddenly and the mines did not sound, he knew that the other party had noticed his ambush.

After all, it would be really stupid to use traps again and again to trap the other party.

Apparently Franco was no fool.

He gave an order, and the fifty guns with their muzzles directed to the north were fired.The shells roared and flew forward.He knew it would be difficult to hit people like this, but his purpose was not to kill people with artillery, but to scare them out!

Cannonballs whizzed past Zheng Zhibao's head, but he was unmoved at all, lying motionless on the grass.He didn't move, and the people under him naturally didn't move at all.

Franco waited quietly for a moment after the gunfire rang out.

There was no movement coming from ahead, including screams.

The people of Kangli's troops lying in the ditch two miles away to the west were frightened and immediately became agitated.

"Don't talk! Cannonballs can't hit us!" Conley lowered his voice, trying to stop the noise from his subordinates.But it's too late, even a little noise can be heard far away in the silent night.Not to mention the news from more than 2000 people.

Franco laughed.

"To the east! Pull the guns over! Fuck 'em!"

"Okay!" Esteban shouted happily, and ordered the artillery to be pulled over.

Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, Conley cursed angrily, intending to let the soldiers move.

Lu Jiang grabbed Kang Li.

"Run and seek death now!? Tell them to lie still!"

Now at least they can hide in the river ditch. If they run out in a swarm, it's almost like courting death.

Two hundred cannons fired at them in turn. Since the standard of the cannonballs was not uniform, the amount of ammunition loaded by the soldiers was not exactly the same, resulting in different landing points of the cannonballs.

At the beginning, unlucky soldiers were hit by shells, and screams rang out in the wilderness.

On Franco's side, experienced gunners have already judged their approximate positions through sound.

"Haha! Boom me! Boom to death!"

Franco laughed and shouted, after being aggrieved for so many days, it can be considered that he has found the right owner!

Lu Jiang was so overwhelmed by the shells that he couldn't lift his head, and was so angry that he wanted to kick these undisciplined rebels to death one by one.

"go ahead!"

Franco divided the Spanish regular army he brought into two brigades, each with 1000 men, including [-] spearmen and [-] arquebus soldiers.

The brigade was arranged in their proud Spanish phalanx, with pikemen in the middle and arquebuses at the corners.

This arrangement is very mobile and can output firepower from four directions.

The two brigades lined up on both sides, with native soldiers pushing cannons in the middle, and a group of [-] marched towards Conley's hiding place on the west side.

The sound of doddles from the neat footsteps echoed in the night sky, and the invisible pressure shrouded the rebel army.

"General Lu! Let's run!?" Conley asked anxiously when he found that the artillery fire had stopped.

Seeing that the opponent is about to press up, when will you run if you don't run?

"No rush!" Lu Jiang said calmly.

For him who has directly participated in the major battles in Liaodong, this scene is really nothing.

"Not in a hurry? Didn't their artillery fire stop..."

boom!

Before Conley's words landed, there was another roar.

"Still running or not? If you want to run, there must be someone who can run out and survive, but this team will disperse. Think carefully!" Lu Jiang shouted at Kang Li.

Behind them is the river, although it is not wide, but it is not easy to wade across.Of course, it goes without saying that the Spanish soldiers are coming.

If you want to run, you can go north or south. Some people may die, but most people will survive.

But the problem is, as long as they are dispersed, it will be difficult to gather people together again. All the imperial ambitions have nothing to do with him at all.

"But what should we do now? We can't beat them, and more people will die if we don't run away. Why don't you take out your chicken cannon and confront them!? You can't just sit and wait!"

"hold on!"

"What are you waiting for! We'll die if we wait any longer!" Hearing the sound of the opponent's army marching, Kang Li broke into sweat anxiously.

"Shut up! I can't die! Wait!"

Lu Jiang ignored the anxious Kangli at all, and said to wait.Kangli clicked his lips twice, and wanted to say something more, but seeing Lu Jiang being so calm, he finally held back.

Lu Jiang doesn't seem to be in a hurry, but it doesn't mean he's really not in a hurry, it's just that the best time hasn't come yet.

And the best time is the distance between the two parties.

The original distance between the two sides was about two miles. With this distance, only the faint moonlight could illuminate the objects.The gunner he brought was not sure of hitting the enemy accurately, so he could only wait until the enemy entered within one mile.

Franco led the team to stop and go, and let the artillery fire a round at a certain distance.

He didn't know that there was a ditch in front of him, and this move was also to continue to increase the pressure on the opponent, so that they would collapse without a fight.

The screams of the rebels kept coming, and Franco was getting closer and closer to them.

After another round of shelling, Lu Jiang stood up abruptly.

"Gunner ready! One mile ahead! Rapid fire five rounds!"

From the sound, the other party was almost a mile away.

Although the accuracy of the shelling cannot be guaranteed, lives are at stake, and they will enter the range of their matchlock guns later.

Hundreds of soldiers manipulating the artillery quickly climbed up from the ditch, still skilled in a team of five, and quickly assembled the mortar.The gunner adjusted the shooting angle.

This time there was no unified command, and this group of sharp soldiers from the Beijing camp who had experienced blood and fire in Liaodong played the most important quality on the battlefield.Calm and fearless.

The twenty shells were basically in no particular order.

Bang bang bang shot out.

Twelve of the twenty shells missed, and only eight landed in Franco's camp,

Eight bombs crippled dozens of Franco's soldiers, but their positions were also completely exposed.

"There they are! Shoot! Infantry phalanx, full speed ahead!"

Franco yelled, in fact, he didn't need to order, and the soldiers controlling the artillery began to turn the muzzle and reload the ammunition.The phalanx on both wings began to rush forward quickly.
