Fujita Akihiro held a Mini rifle in his hand and stared nervously at the tens of thousands of indigenous troops opposite.

From Wadao to Luzon, he fought many battles, but they were all battles involving hundreds or even thousands of people.Facing tens of thousands of troops for the first time, it is inevitable to feel nervous.

But soon he regained his composure.

Because this time the Ming army was behind him, and not far away, there was the kind and benevolent Emperor looking at them.

In the last battle to regain the Yerengou Mine, the moment Nickel ordered to fire, he fell to the ground subconsciously. Fortunately, he escaped a certain death situation. His arm was only scratched by a bullet. After this After a period of recuperation, the injury has now fully recovered.

After recovering from his injury, Fujita Akihiro was directly promoted from the search team leader to the platoon leader because of that battle.

Although the military pay remained unchanged, more supplies were distributed, and he was also issued a watch, and he did not need to return the watch after he retired!

He went to inquire about it and sold it to those red-haired ghosts. An ordinary watch sold for 100 taels of silver, and the one he had was a military version. It was not only waterproof but also had night vision, and its value reached 300 taels. Silver per piece!

That is to say, if he wants to buy such a watch, even if he saves all his military salary without spending a penny, it will take him a full 6 years to afford such a watch!

His Majesty the Emperor not only issued them new rifles, but now also issued him a watch worth 300 taels of silver!Fujita Akihiro began to feel that if he retired after three years, he would be sorry to His Majesty the Emperor!

"Everyone line up for me and obey my orders! His Majesty, the great Ming Emperor, is watching behind us. If you lose your chain, you will not be able to reap the benefits when you go back!" Fujita Akihiro directed at the people in his platoon. shouted the recruit.

These new soldiers were recruited not long ago. Unlike the first batch of mercenaries like Fujita Akihiro, who had a military salary of up to 50 taels of silver per year, these newly recruited Japanese soldiers only received a monthly military salary of [-] taels of silver, which was only half of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

But even so, the 500-man recruitment quota was filled in only one day.

Because of the influence of later generations, Zhu Heyi had extremely poor sense of the Japanese!

Excluding the indigenous people, although the Japanese population in Luzon is second only to the Chinese and they have the same yellow skin, their social status is only slightly higher than the indigenous people, not even as good as the Spanish.

Even though Japanese people worked in factories, they were paid.But they can only do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and the salary they receive is much less than that of ordinary Chinese employees.

As a result, the lives of the Japanese people in Luzon were not easy.

As for joining the Ming Dynasty Foreign Legion, although the two taels of silver per month were not as good as the four taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty's regular army, it could still feed and clothe the family.

That's why this recruitment goal can be achieved so easily.

It is worth mentioning that these Japanese recruits were dragged onto the battlefield before they had completed their recruit training.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty euphemistically called fighting as a substitute for training, but the recruits of the Ming Dynasty's regular army are still training in the military camp in Manila at the moment...

"Hurry up and bring all the artillery shells up! The infantry regiments should pay attention to the gaps. The natives have a small number of cavalry, so pay attention to the flanks!"

Looking at the natives in the distance who had already taken action, Li Zhenhua, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, loudly ordered, while the flag soldiers on the side quickly passed his orders to the various units.

因为射界的原因,炮兵团20门m1841型6磅野战炮,10门1857型12磅野战炮一字排开被顶在了最前列。

The five Min-5 mortars with a range of 2.8 kilometers are at the rear of the army. Because the shells cannot be replenished for the time being, they will not fire unless it is a last resort. The same is true for Gatling guns.

Perhaps seeing the Ming army taking action, the indigenous army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately divided into more than 2 people and began to move towards the Ming army's front.

The natives are not fools. The two sides are thousands of meters apart. If they start to charge at this time, when they reach the Ming army, it will still be a problem whether they have the strength to fight with the Ming army. Therefore, so far, the natives are not advancing very fast.

As for the Ming army, the natives naturally walked as slowly as possible.

"Artillery regiment! Fire freely!" Li Zhenhua ordered.

The large Napoleon cannon equipped by the Ming artillery can shoot about 10 meters at a 1900-degree firing angle, and the small Napoleon cannon can shoot more than 1300 meters. The distance between the two armies is about 1000 meters, so whether the indigenous people charge or not, they are within the range of the Ming army's artillery. within.

"Load each artillery group with solid ammunition! Target the enemy's advancing crowd!" Zhang Danian, commander of the artillery regiment, ordered loudly.

In the current period, solid bullets are still the mainstream artillery shells, while blooming bullets still have the disadvantages of insufficient power and unstable fuzes.

Therefore, as long as it is not a long-distance lob, solid bullets are still the best choice.

Except for naval battles, of course!

"Fire!" Zhang Danian roared,

The next moment, artillery fire fired!

"Boom boom boom..."

30 solid iron balls broke away from the shackles of the gun barrel and shot towards the indigenous army in the distance.

The accuracy of the Napoleon cannon was quite high and could accurately hit barns at a distance of 1600 yards, and now their target was a dense crowd.

After a short flight, 30 shells crashed into the charging crowd of indigenous people.

"puff!"

It was the sound of a human body being hit head-on by a cannonball, being knocked to pieces, and blood spurting out wildly.

Of course, this is far from over. The reason why solid shells are more powerful than blooming shells is because their super kinetic energy gives them super penetration and bounce capabilities!

After the cannonball smashed the few unlucky ones at the front, it hit the ground and bounced up again. If the cannonball hit the arm, the entire arm would be torn to pieces in an instant. If the cannonball hit the head, it would be like putting a big firecracker into a watermelon. , "Bang!" Nothing was left except broken bones and brains scattered all over the sky, and 30 ravines of flesh and blood were instantly penetrated through the indigenous people.

Many of the indigenous soldiers who were still advancing were suddenly showered with blood and brains.

When they reacted, they were horrified to find that only half of their companion beside them was still shaking.

"Witchcraft! Witchcraft! The Ming army has witchcraft!" Some natives shouted with pale faces.

Not all the natives had seen artillery, and the horrific way their companions died scared the shit out of many of them.

But the Ming army's artillerymen did not take care of their mood. They quickly cleaned the gun barrel, then loaded the firing bag, loaded the shells, inserted the fire tube, hung the match rope, and pulled the string...

"boom!"

Broken limbs flew across, blood splashed everywhere, wailing sounds came one after another, and there was another 30 ravine of flesh and blood.

Two salvos of 30 artillery pieces had already caused hundreds of casualties to the natives. However, the natives had only advanced less than a hundred meters, and they were still more than 900 meters away from the Ming army's line.

You must know that the closer these artillery are, the more powerful they will be. According to the current situation, at least half of the more than 2 people rushing to the Ming army will be killed or injured!

And this is on the premise that the Ming army infantry does not fire.

However, the next moment.

"Infantry regiments, prepare for battle!"
