Chapter 933: The Decisive Battle of Panama (8)
However, the Marquis of Yaretoleka recognized the strength of the Ming army, but the formation of the Five Nations Alliance Army, the number of troops amounted to more than 360,000, and he also thought from the beginning that their Five Nations Alliance Army would definitely be able to defeat the Ming army of only 40,000 people who attacked Panama City. Heavenly Voices." 2
However, he was wrong, he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army even more than Duke William and the Marquis of Orlang, two people who had already fought with the Ming army before, and even less understood the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
Therefore, at this moment, he was so unbelievable that the Ming army had broken through the thousands of meters to the west of their five-nation alliance army in a short period of time, and had smashed into Panama City all the way, and had quickly and forcibly occupied Panama City.
Including Duke William, who had just escaped from Panama City, the five commanders of the Five Nations Alliance Army looked at Panama City, which had been forcibly captured by the Ming army, and their faces turned blue and white.
What now! The Ming army had already captured Panama City, and they still had 280,000 troops outside the city.
Take the opportunity to besiege Panama City on all sides and retake Panama City?
It sounds like a lot of blood, but can they do it? Before the Ming army captured Panama City, they could not stop the Ming army's attack, and now that the Ming army has captured Panama City, can they defeat the Ming army and recapture Panama City by besieging it from all sides?
No one had this confidence, the Marquis of the Spanish Army, the Commander of the Dutch Army, and the Commander of the Portuguese Army, the three commanders of the allied forces who fought the Ming army for the first time, and the British commander, Duke William, and the French commander, the Marquis of Orlan, did not have this confidence.
There was no need for Duke William and other commanders of the Five Nations Alliance to hesitate for a long time, and soon the Ming army in Panama City would make the first move.
In Panama City, more than ninety percent of the remaining soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance have surrendered, and the few remaining who are well hidden have not been found for the time being, but Feng Houdun does not plan to waste time looking for them.
"Panama City has already been captured by us, the marshal's central flowering strategy is half complete, it's time to complete the other half!" Feng Houdun's expression was sharp.
Attacking Panama City, the Ming army still had more than 32,000 people left, with less than 1,000 dead and wounded.
Feng Houdun ordered more than 2,000 soldiers of the Ming army to stay in Panama City, guard the prisoners who had just been captured, and continue to sweep away the remaining few soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army who were well hidden, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers were divided into four routes, attacking outside the city at the same time from the east, west, north, south and north directions of Panama City, and the center blossomed, giving the Five Nations Alliance Army outside the city a final blow and crushing them in one fell swoop.
"Kill, -----" 30,000 Ming soldiers attacked in four directions, and at the same time killed out of the city from four directions, and the center blossomed.
All four gates were opened by the Ming army, and the Ming soldiers rushed out.
"Da Da Da -----"
"Smack! Syllable! As soon as ----- rushed out, the Ming soldiers opened fire fiercely at the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army in front.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! "The soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army in front of the city were swept up in pieces, and a large number of corpses fell.
More and more Ming soldiers came out of the city gate and attacked the Five Nations Alliance Army outside the city, and the more Ming soldiers rushed out, the more fierce the Ming army's firepower became.
Suffering such a sudden and violent blow, almost instantly, the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army who were "besieged" outside the four gates of Panama began to flee backwards in fear, trying to escape from the range of the Ming army's bullets.
The Ming army was too terrifying, first forcibly breaking through the kilometer depth of the western defense, and then forcibly capturing Panama City, all of which were actually born in a very short period of time, and the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army were still stunned, and the Ming army followed and killed them from the four city gates, and attacked them from all sides at the same time.
This moment seemed to awaken the fear in their hearts, such a powerful Ming army could not be defeated at all, and blocking such a Ming army was no different from sending them to death.
The armies of the Five Nations Alliance on all sides of Panama City began to rout under the attacks of the Ming army on all sides, and the rout became faster and more extensive, and if it continued like this, it would soon evolve into a total rout.
"Ou! No! These damn Ming troops! The commander of the Spanish army, the Marquis de Aletoleica, spoke out in horror.
"Why are the Ming army so powerful, are they devils from hell!" The Dutch commander also shouted in horror.
"Can we still defeat them, God! Come and punish these devils! The Portuguese commander also shouted in despair.
Now, it is not only the Duke of William, the commander of the British army, and the Marquis of Orlan, the commander of the French army, who realized that numbers were not at all a condition for defeating the Ming army, but also the commander of the Spanish army, the Marquis of Arrettoleca, the commander of the Dutch army, and the commander of the Portuguese army.
Such a consciousness is undoubtedly devastating.
Because if they can't rely on numbers to defeat the Ming army, then what is the use of them forming a five-nation alliance army, then what else can they use to block the attack of the Ming army, or even defeat the Ming army, and keep the rich American Great 6, can they only helplessly give up the entire American Great 6 to the Ming Empire?
"Fire! Hurry up! Blow them up! The commander of the Spanish army, Marquis Aretoleca, roared.
In fact, the five-nation alliance army has a total of more than 1,000 cannons, distributed in four defensive positions in Panama City and outside the city, and now the artillery in the western defensive position and the artillery in Panama City have all been destroyed by the Ming army, but the artillery of the three positions in the north, south and east has not been destroyed, and now the Ming army is attacking from all sides, and only the artillery can block the Ming army.
"Boom! Rumble! Bombardment ----- nearly 700 artillery pieces of the Five Nations Alliance Army in the defense area in the southeast, north and south bombarded the Ming army attacking out of the city.
Under the explosion, the earth was splashed, and many Ming soldiers were also blown away.
However, it has been said a long time ago that the artillery of the Five Nations Alliance Army is too slow, and the power of the cannonballs is much worse than that of the Ming Army's artillery, even if the Ming Army does not have a single cannon, the artillery of the Five Nations Alliance Army is not enough to stop the Ming Army's attack.
On the contrary, firing at the Ming army revealed the location of their artillery.
No, Feng Houdun, who personally led the soldiers of the Ming Army to attack from the north, looked in the direction of the cannon at the moment when the cannon of the Five Nations Alliance Army opened fire.
"Hey, hey! Look for death! Feng Houdun sneered, without saying a word, and rushed towards the direction of the artillery of the Five Nations Alliance with a group of Ming soldiers, wanting to destroy the artillery of the Five Nations Alliance Army strongly.
It seems to be aware of the purpose of the Ming army, in order to protect its artillery from being destroyed by the Ming army.
"Stop them!" The commander of the defensive positions in this direction, Marquis Yaretoleca, shouted and ordered the Spanish troops under his command to stop the Ming artillery.
