'Is this the Australian's spaceship?' ’

Maldonado secretly admired in his heart, it was even more beautiful and shocking than the rumors, although the ghost and god patterns drawn on it were uncomfortable, but they were lifelike, and even made him a little distracted after seeing it for a long time, and he had to quickly draw a cross on his chest to calm the uneasiness in his heart.

Maldonado, who travels between Port Fafo and Macau all year round, has long known from the Jesuits that the Australians have a vehicle that can fly in the air, and the flowering shells dropped from it can produce a terrible explosion that can destroy the stone dome of the church, not to mention the terrifying damage to the people on the ground. This weapon had inflicted heavy losses on the Spaniards in Manila and was a cause for the bloodless opening of Manila.

He remained silent, observing the ships floating in the sky as he directed the musketeers and artillerymen forward, weighing in mind whether to inform the commander of the information about the Australian ships. Without much thought, in the end he decided to truthfully provide Ruan Youyi with possible warnings.

After hearing Maldonado's warning, Ruan Youyi decisively gave up the act of releasing smoke, although the floating orbs in the sky did not attack the marching queue, but just floated above the opponent's array, but this condescending observation alone was enough to offset his previous arrangement, and it also made him feel quite impatient, this feeling of being peeped at from the sky was not comfortable.

And the other party's musketeers are also very disciplined, the shooting action is uniform, although the breastwork behind the trench is low, but it also makes the attacking Quang Nam army very uncomfortable, it seems that only those throwing bows and javelins can cause them some damage, and then it is to wait for the cannons of the Franco machine man to show their power, he is still very confident in these cannons, he has seen the power of many artillery exercises in Hoi An, as long as the artillery of the Fran machine can be advanced to the right distance, this battle will be very easy, he thought so in his heart, Eyes twinkle.

The horn of the charge sounded again, and Zhu Daizhen noticed that there were many elites in Guangnan who rushed behind those Cham soldiers this time, they were wearing armor, their tanned arms were exposed, and their fierce expressions made people feel palpitations even when they looked at them in the binoculars.

But now he is no longer afraid, but these people are standing a little scattered, which makes it a little difficult to use the platoon guns, in addition, he is more worried about the militia, after all, the enemy who came up this time is obviously elite.

When the opponent marched within two hundred meters, the gunfire of the Beiwei army rang out again, and at this distance, even if the opponent immediately broke and fled, he could still shoot another round. Artillery support from the rear also arrived in time, but the damage done by the solid bullets in the sparse enemy formation was very limited, and although each successful crushing drew a flesh-and-blood 'path' in the enemy formation, this loss was insignificant compared to the number of opponents. The results of the platoon gun shooting were more obvious, but they were still slightly worse than expected, and what surprised Zhu Daizhen was that the opposite side did not seem to be unstable, but accelerated the speed of the charge.

When they rushed to about 50 meters in front of the formation, the Beiwei army had already fired four rounds of salvos, and the artillery had also fired two rounds, and there were quite a few Quang Nam troops who had fallen, but relying on rattan cards, carts, and bamboo shields, there were still hundreds of enemy troops who had rushed to within 50 meters. This distance was enough for them to launch the first round of attacks, and the Lapsers and militia arrays began to suffer their first losses.

Bows and spears require some luck to build power at this distance, but neither the Yaks nor the militia have much armor, and their clothes are not very protective against such long-range attacks other than life-saving helmets. Although they were not killed on the spot, more than double-digit soldiers were still injured.

The wounded soldiers were quickly taken down by the ambulance team, but the fighting also began to escalate.

Zhu Daizhen was a little nervous at first, but the rigorous training allowed him to quickly calm down, and the war machine began to run as usual again.

'Free fire—' he shouted.

The other party didn't have many horses, and although they had reached a very close distance, they didn't rush in front of them in an instant.

'Grenadier ready. ’

The grenadiers, who had already sat in formation behind the shooters, heard the order and rose in unison, these selected soldiers were all strong men, half a head taller than the shooters in front of them, and especially the muscles in their arms were solid. Each soldier had a grenade with a wooden handle in his hand and four more from his waist, and the mass production of grenades was a recent thing, and he arrived here with the grenadiers to test his usefulness on the battlefield.

Thirty meters –

The enemy released another round of feather arrows, and the guns of the Beiwei army were constantly ringing, Zhu Daizhen knew that this meant that he might have to enter close combat, and the instructor had said many times that most foot archers only had the strength to fire two salvos when charging, and the rest was the courage of both sides.

Twenty meters –

The last round of firing, at the same time, countless grenades were thrown from behind the shooter.

The elite of the Quang Nam Army, which had endured huge casualties, was finally completely defeated in a series of explosions, and never before had it been so far from the enemy, and the selection of the front team personally trained by Nguyen Youyi was only half of them after a charge, and then it was an irrepressible rout.

If their attack had lasted a little longer, it might have bought Maldonado some time, because of the bulky gun carriages and unruly ox carts, his artillery could only reach the predetermined position, but their situation had been passed back to the ground by the senator in the hot air balloon ten minutes earlier.

The same information was transmitted through several observation points, and by the time the Portuguese artillery had just been erected, the first round of test firing on the side of the fort had already exploded next to the Portuguese artillery position. To Maldonado's horror, the burst was behind the position, not before, proving that the enemy's artillery had a longer range than he had anticipated, and that it was accurate. Although he didn't have much concept of shooting Zhu Yuan, as an artilleryman, he could understand that the enemy on the opposite side was not just a group of pirates, at least their musketeers had been proven to be good enough, and the artillery was obviously not inferior to them.

Only a moment later, the palpitating howl came through the air again, and he secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and shouted loudly for his men to hurry out of the gun position, but it was still a step too late.

This time, the Australians' shelling was as he expected, extremely accurate, a flowering shell almost exploded next to a six-pounder gun, and the barrel of the cannon was directly lifted into the air by the air wave, and after landing, the two buffaloes that were originally set on the gun truck were directly crushed to death.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of fire and smoke rose from the entire artillery array, and the Portuguese mercenaries, who usually claimed to be well-trained, were all running around at the moment, where could they take care of those cannons.

As for the musketeers, they did not have the heart to go any further, and when they saw an explosion in the rear, they all retreated with the rout, not forgetting to bypass the artillery positions where there was a roar. For a while, people neighed and screamed, and in less than half an hour, the team of more than 3,000 people became chickens and dogs, leaving only the stumps and corpses all over the ground, and it was impossible to distinguish whether they were people or cattle and horses, and the rest were the debris of artillery and gun trucks that were staggering.

The soldiers who retreated were all wounded, and what was even more terrifying was that several palms who led the team were all killed, and the opponent's muskets were like having eyes, and those palms were obviously pressing the formation behind, but they couldn't escape, and the farthest one was at least four hundred steps away from the opponent's musket array, I really don't know what method the thieves used, but this was a real threat.

Ruan Youyi's face sank like water, but there was a chill in his heart, and anyone could see how bad his mood was.

The horn sounded again, he looked back at his own formation, and saw that the banner of the Lord of the Buddha had been played there, and his brows couldn't help frowning, and it seemed that he couldn't retreat and repair.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the battle snail horn to sound again, and this time another six or seven thousand people began to assemble looking at the posture. A herald came to Ruan Youyi's array and told him that Ruan Fulan had already led the army up again, and it was still a military order from the Lord of the Buddha, and Ruan Fuyuan wanted him to meet him in the Chinese military camp first.

By the time he saw Nguyen Phuc Nguyen, the more than 6,000 people who had just been assembled were ready to go, and at least more than 1,000 of them were Nguyen Phuc Lan's pro-army.

"Why did you lose so quickly?"

"Lord, the thief is not an ordinary pirate, and his land division army formation is more neat than our army, and today our army's edge has been defeated, and it is not suitable to fight again." He considered his words and changed the word Ke to the word Yi, hoping not to stimulate the Buddha Lord too much.

"So what do you think you should do?" Nguyen Phuc Nguyen was noncommittal.

"Night Attack ......" Ruan Youyi also cherishes words like gold.

But the Buddha who should ask the question will not pretend not to know, "Tell me about it." ”

"Today's defeat is due to the sharp firearms of the thieves, but in terms of firearms, it is not easy to shoot at night, but our army is familiar with geography and can act cheaply."

At this time, Tao Weici, who was beside Ruan Fuyuan, was a little impatient, and reminded loudly, "Now that the arrow is ready to fly, I have to send it." ”

Today has been folded twice, although the military academy below is not satisfied, but as the initiator of the southern expedition, he has already felt a lot of pressure, and now that Ruan Fu Lan's men have completed the formation, he still wants to try again during the day.

As if to help the people decide, at this moment, the scouts in front came back with the news that the thieves were retreating, and that the musketeers were retreating to the fortress a mile away, and that the original trenches had all been abandoned. It turned out that the news from the observation post said that the Ruan army had a large number of formations again, and considering that the enemy had already been defeated first, Xie Ming decided that it could be appropriately reduced, and anyway, this side only needed to nail the enemy here for a day or two.

Tao Weici seemed to have grasped something, and hurriedly said: "The thief is already at the end of the crossbow, and it is time to march at this time." ”

Ruan Fulan was also eager to try, "The son is willing to share his father's worries." ”

Ruan Fuyu was quite embarrassed at the moment, his men had a fiasco at the beginning, and now he saw that someone wanted to pick peaches, but he dared not speak out.

Only Ruan Youyi was glared at by his father, and he stopped talking.

Ruan Phuc Yuan weighed it, and finally made up his mind, "Now that the main army has been assembled, and the thieves are retreating, they should also rush again." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Fulan glanced at Ruan Fuyu, who was a little depressed, and went out of the camp.

…………

Ruan Bicheng watched how these people showed off their might at the beginning, but then how they were defeated, whether it was those Quang Nam elite or Francophone artillery, they were all not the same enemy in front of the Australian army.

He now finally understood why, throughout the rainy season, Quang Nam's army was blocked by a few fortresses north of the Kowloon River Plain. It's not so much that the Guangnan Army doesn't want to take risks in the rainy season, but now it's better to say that the Australians have combat strength, and Pei Dongzhu seems to have found a good backer this time.

It's just that the poor Cham people who were driven in front of them were now caught in the middle when they became cannon fodder, but Ruan Bicheng quickly noticed that some alert people had quickly run out of their hiding places, and while running towards the position of the Australians, they waved a white cloth belt in their hands, as if they were not injured by guns and cannons.

The musket array did not fire, but only opened a few gaps, and the Cham people shouted loudly in front of the formation, then they all threw away their weapons, raised their hands high and hugged them behind their heads, and were led into the formation by a team.

But there were more Chams who threw themselves over, and the array seemed a little loose, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the Australians to abandon the trenches on the front line and begin to retreat in the direction of the fortress.

After a long while, the magical sound transmission 'magic weapon' in the chief's hand sounded again, and the chief put it in his ear and hummed for a while, ended the call with a smile on his face, and then happily said to everyone, "Good news, the navy has landed in Cam Ranh Bay, and the Quang Nam Naval Division has been annihilated. ”
