The landing went even more smoothly than Sanchez had imagined.

Throughout the landing, the Spanish troops met without any resistance, not even symbolic sporadic resistance.

This made Sanchez delighted.

It seems that it is a very wise choice for him to adopt Li Dan's suggestion and lead the army to attack Wuzhushan Island directly.

The Ming army has transferred all its forces to the coastal provinces and counties, and Wuzhushan Island is like a piece of fat on the chopping board, and Sanchez can cut it however he wants.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I suggest that we advance to the island at once in order to take over the warehouses of the Ming army."

Li Dan believed that the Ming army's warehouse on Wuzhushan Island must have had a lot of important materials, such as firearms, armor, and bows and crossbows. The Ming army will definitely not have time to move all these things!

"Well, pass my order, and the whole army will advance to the island!"

Now Sanchez sees how Li Dan looks at it, and he feels that such a reasonable suggestion made by Li Dan should be adopted immediately.

As soon as Sánchez gave the order, the Spaniards immediately formed a phalanx and moved forward steadily.

Just as Sanchez was thinking about his next battle plan, he suddenly heard a roar.

A huge iron projectile flew and smashed straight into a Spanish phalanx. For a while, the smoke of gunfire was everywhere, and the severed limbs and stumps flew away. The smell of blood filled the air.

Before Sanchez could react, several more iron projectiles flew in, scattering the Spanish soldiers in all directions.

"It's an enemy attack! There is an ambush! ”

I don't know who was the first to shout, and the Spanish soldiers shouted in horror.

There is no doubt that they have been tricked, the island is not as empty as they seem, the damned Ming army is hiding in the shadows and is now lighting artillery to attack them!

"Your Excellency the Governor has an ambush!"

Li Dan's reaction was quite fast, he immediately picked up Sanchez and said, "You should immediately order the gunner to shoot back!" ”

Sanchez jumped to his feet angrily: "Even if there are gunners, the artillery is also on board!" ”

This is not to blame Sanchez, the guns equipped on Spanish ships are thousands of pounds, and it is very inconvenient to move. The landing went so smoothly that he certainly wouldn't have thought about moving the guns off the ship.

Now that the formation of the army is in chaos, the soldiers are scattered everywhere, and it is a problem for Sanchez to maintain the formation, how can it be possible to send some more soldiers to move the artillery?

"Get out of the way!"

Sanchez pushed Li Dan away, and shouted at the officers of the personal guard: "Retreat, gather the soldiers and retreat!" ”

At the moment, Sanchez just wants to get back on the ship and get out of this damn island. As long as there is a moment on this island, there will be soldiers who will continue to lose.

These are the most elite soldiers trained by the Spanish Empire, and they must not die on this damn island for nothing.

"Your Excellency, you must not retreat. We've landed, and we're going to take the island in one go. If you retreat now, won't you lose all your efforts? ”

Li Dan was very frightened and dissuaded: "The Ming army just fired a few cannons, it's just a bluff." ”

Sanchez was angry, and when he saw that Li Dan still didn't give up, he kicked him hard.

"Damn. If it weren't for you, this governor wouldn't be here. Bravado? Have you ever seen such a bluff? ”

Although Sanchez did not know exactly how many artillery pieces the other side had. But from the momentum, it can be roughly guessed that there are at least dozens of doors.

These guns were supposed to be heavy guns, which were of the same order of magnitude as those of the Spanish fleet.

If it drags on like this, the Spanish army will inevitably lose its strength.

Li Dan was kicked down by Sanchez, but there was a sadness in his heart.

Ning Xiu, this must be Ning Xiu's trick!

Why did he fall into the hands of this man again? Could it be that this person was specially sent by God to deal with him?

No, he doesn't accept fate, he doesn't believe in fate!

"Your Excellency the Governor, let's return to the ship first, and then make a decision when the survey is clear!"

Now that Sanchez had made up his mind to return to the ship, there was no point in Li Dan dissuading him. All he wanted now was that the other side would calm down a little and send a sentry to see what was going on on the island when the army returned to the ship.

"Let's talk about it then, retreat first!"

......

......

"Retreat, Franc Robot retreat!"

Qi Wen sighed with emotion: "Lord Ning is really like a god. ”

He paused slightly, waved his hand and ordered: "Prepare the musket team, prepare the spear array!" ”

These are the two ace troops specially trained by Ning Xiu, and the combination of the two has a good effect on both the infantry formation and the cavalry.

At present, the Spaniards are in a hurry to evacuate, and the formation has been scattered, Qi Wen thinks that what he has to do is to harvest human lives. After the herald raised the flag, a pikeman of five hundred men rushed out from the rear of the Spaniards. On either side of them were two musket teams, each of three hundred people.

"Forward!"

The spear formation pushed forward steadily, and although the speed was not fast, it gave people a great oppressive force.

The musketeers followed the pikes forward. Their task was to crush the enemy forces in front of them by suppressing the auxiliary pikes with firepower.

Since the Spaniards had now changed from the rear army to the front army, Sanchez could not see the Ming army's spear formation that cut off their retreat at the first time.

But soon an officer of the pro-soldier team played to him.

Sanchez was so frightened that he quickly took out his binoculars to observe.

I saw a team covered in iron armor stuck on a low slope a few hundred meters away, cutting off their only way to the ship.

"Your Excellency the Governor, now is not the time to hesitate, you must be desperate to rush through the Ming army's interception."

Sanchez glared at Li Dan fiercely: "I don't need you to teach me!" ”

After that, he ordered: "Let the musketeers cover, and the army must break through the Ming blockade." ”

It is very difficult to mobilize an army of tens of thousands of people, let alone in such a narrow space.

The Spanish army was ambushed, morale was at its lowest, and the execution of the army dropped considerably.

After Sanchez gave the order, the army did not form a formation to meet the enemy and break through, but still scattered in a group.

Soon these scattered soldiers rushed within the range of the Ming army.

The fire gun held by the Ming soldiers was the Lu Mi gun mass-produced by Ning Xiu's craftsmen. The effective range of this firearm is around a hundred paces.

Now the musketeers lined up to shoot, knocking out dozens of Spanish soldiers in each round.

The Ming musket team used a three-stage fire. After the first row of shots, the soldiers automatically retreat to the rear of the line to reload the gunpowder, and the third row of soldiers who have already loaded the gunpowder come to the first row to shoot. When the musketeers in the third row finished shooting, the top of the second row went on and so forth.

Three-stage shooting is a good solution to the problem of long reloading time for arquebuses, allowing musketeers to be effective at all times.

At this moment, the musketeers of the Ming army had turned into a nightmare for the Spaniards. In a short period of time, hundreds of Spanish soldiers had been killed, and there was a howl of ghosts and wolves.
