Chapter 910: Completely Crushed (3)

The Ming soldiers had only rushed to a distance of 400 meters before they had already begun to shoot the Anglo-Spanish soldiers in the trenches with their rifles.

Indeed, the protection of trenches reduces the probability of being hit.

However, if you have to take into account the three-stage firing method, it is impossible for all the soldiers to hide in the trench.

In fact, the trenches built by the British were ladder-shaped, and nearly half of the bodies of many Anglo-Spanish soldiers were exposed, so that a large number of Anglo-Spanish soldiers were shot and killed under the fire of the Ming soldiers.

"Boom! Rumble! Bombardment----- plus the artillery fire of the Ming army continued, and the shells continued to blow the allied soldiers out of the trenches.

Under the blow of the Ming army, the soldiers of the Anglo-Spanish alliance army at the forefront had to give up the formation of three strikes, and all of them lay dead in the trench, not daring to expose their bodies again.

However, if you don't expose your body, how can you block the attack of the Ming army.

Soon, the Ming army attacked to a distance of less than 150 meters, according to this, the Ming army is likely to be able to directly rush into the Anglo-Spanish army trench, of course, this may also be the British and Spanish soldiers hoped, their flintlock pistols are not as good as the Ming army's rifles, long-distance shooting has been determined that it is impossible to be the opponent of the Ming army, may fight at close range, they can defeat the Ming army with numerical superiority.

It's a pity that the Anglo-Spanish army was wrong, even if they were hiding in the trench with their whole body, they couldn't wait for the Ming soldiers to rush in and fight them at close range, they only waited for grenades.

"Whew! Shout! "No less than thirty grenades were thrown at the same time from a few tens of meters away into one of the frontmost trenches.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! After a long-distance explosion, nearly 100 meters of Anglo-Spanish soldiers in the entire twenty or thirty-meter-long trench were blown out, and many stumps, broken arms and corpses flew in front of the Anglo-Spanish soldiers in another trench.

"No-" Many Anglo-Spanish soldiers cried out in horror, fear had overwhelmed them.

It was not a close battle at all, the Ming army was so strong that they did not see any hope of victory at all.

The two armies are fighting, and the evenly matched fight is the most intense, even if it is not evenly matched, one side is in a slight if, but as long as the soldier can still see a glimmer of hope of victory, he can still hold on, but if the soldier does not feel any hope of victory, and even feels that if he continues to fight is to die, what awaits the whole army is only to collapse and rout.

This is the case with the Anglo-Spanish forces at the moment.

Even though the number of Anglo-Spanish troops was nearly three times that of the Ming army, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Ming army was too strong, and the artillery of the Ming army destroyed their artillery array and continued to bombard them. The Ming soldiers' rifles had a long range, capable of shooting them from a few hundred meters away, and the Ming soldiers also had machine guns that could fire continuously, as well as terrifying grenades that could be thrown directly into their trenches.

All this was enough to destroy their confidence and make them see no hope of winning the war.

The Ming army soon broke through the three trenches, and the offensive was unstoppable.

During this period, it was not without the soldiers of the Anglo-Spanish army who tried to stand up and shoot at the Ming army, but they had just stood up, and before they could even take aim, they were all shot down by the machine guns of the Ming army, and they suffered heavy casualties.

"Boom, boom, boom----" Another wave of grenades swept out all the Anglo-Spanish soldiers hiding in the trenches.

In just a few minutes, the Anglo-Spanish army had broken through several trenches, and more than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded.

Despair! Still desperate! There was no hope of victory over the Ming army.

Under such circumstances, the Anglo-Spanish soldiers who were at the forefront and facing the Ming attack completely collapsed, and they could not continue to stay in the trenches, because that would mean waiting for death.

The Anglo-Spanish soldiers rushed out of the trench and began to flee backwards.

In less than ten minutes of the battle, the Anglo-Spanish army began to rout backwards!

"Nope! God, that's not true! "The defeat was so fast that neither the British commander-in-chief, Duke William, nor the Spanish commander-in-chief, Duke Tribwes, had yet to react, and their front-line soldiers had begun to rush out and continue to rout backwards.

The Anglo-Spanish soldiers who rushed out undoubtedly faced the blow of the intense fire of the Ming rifles and machine guns.

Countless Anglo-Spanish soldiers fell to the ground as soon as they rushed out, suffering heavy casualties.

However, no matter how heavy the casualties were, they still couldn't stop the Anglo-Spanish soldiers from escaping. More and more Anglo-Spanish soldiers are involved in the rout, which is like a plague that is spreading rapidly.

The flintlock pistols and pound guns of the Anglo-Spanish army were too backward compared to the Ming army's five-shot rifles and machine guns that could be charged by one person, and there was no comparison at all.

The Ming army completely crushed the Anglo-Spanish coalition army.

The British commander-in-chief, Duke William, and the Spanish commander-in-chief, Duke Tribwes, tried to prevent the rout of the Allied soldiers, but no one listened to them, and the rout continued, and quickly turned into a rout.

The lack of hope of victory in the war was the main reason for the defeat of the Anglo-Spanish coalition army, and no one could bear to wait for death without hope.

"It's over, it's over!" Duke William and Duke Tribweth were full of despair of defeat, the Ming army was too strong, even if their strength was three times that of the Ming army, but under the attack of the Ming army, their army could not even hold out for half an hour before it was defeated.

The Anglo-Spanish army was completely defeated, and the Duke of William and the Duke of Tribwes also fled back with the defeated Anglo-Spanish army.

Although the war was lost and could not resist the attack of the Ming army, it did not mean that Duke William and Duke Tribwes would stay where they were and wait to die, and they did not want to become prisoners of the Ming army.

"Kill, -----" The Ming army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and rifles and machine guns continued to shoot and kill the Anglo-Spanish soldiers who were fleeing, accelerating the speed of the Anglo-Spanish soldiers fleeing.

Countless soldiers of the Anglo-Spanish alliance are eager to grow an extra leg.

In order to escape faster, the soldiers of the Anglo-Spanish army kept discarding the flintlock pistols in their hands and the bullets on their bodies, etc., and even some soldiers of the Anglo-Spanish army even took off their clothes and threw them away, just to escape faster.

There are more and more Anglo-Spanish soldiers running naked, almost turning the Anglo-Spanish army into a naked army.

Anglo-Spanish soldiers could throw away their flintlock pistols and take off their clothes and run naked, but Ming soldiers couldn't.

Although there are many weight-bearing cross-country subjects in the training of the Ming army, the endurance of the Ming soldiers is trained to be extremely strong, but the Ming soldiers are only chasing and killing, while the Anglo-Spanish soldiers are fleeing for their lives, only chasing for more than an hour, the Ming soldiers are too tired to catch up, and they also lose the figure of the Anglo-Spanish soldiers.

In the end, only more than 20,000 Anglo-Spanish soldiers were shot and captured by the Ming army in the rout, and counting the fighting and artillery death, the loss of the Anglo-Spanish soldiers was about 27,000, and nearly 60,000 Anglo-Spanish troops were finally able to escape.

"It's a pity that my army only brought a few war horses that consigned ammunition and artillery, otherwise none of these Anglo-Spanish soldiers would want to escape!" Yan Yingyuan said with great pity.

The Pacific Ocean is too vast, the voyage is far away, the Ming can transport 100,000 Ming soldiers and a large number of ammunition and materials, it has wasted a lot of effort, it is really impossible to transport hundreds of thousands of war horses equipped with the regular army in a short period of time, otherwise after the Ming army defeated the Anglo-Spanish coalition army, it can completely ride a war horse to pursue, and it will be able to completely annihilate the Anglo-Spanish coalition army.
