Flood valley.

The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing had already converged, and the phalanx of the infantry of the Young Guards rolling forward was like a moving steel castle, and it slammed into the Spanish line.

In the darkness, from time to time bursts of fire, accompanied by a deafening roar. This is a grenade thrown by the grenadiers who rushed in front of the Ming army and landed on the Spanish line!

The muzzle flames also flickered continuously, and the ballistics of the two sides shooting at each other were intertwined in the night sky, forming a web of death.

The dense phalanx of Ming infantry fired ammunition on one side and the Spaniards on the other, and moved forward firmly. Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren stood on a high place, just quietly looking at everything in front of them.

The Spaniards' defenses were well organized, and by the light of the grenades, three rows of musketeers could be seen standing in front of their chests, and the first two rows of musketeers were constantly reloading! Although they didn't aim much, the bullets rained down intensively, and the bullets poured down, making a lot of gaps in the first few rows of the Ming army's formation.

The pace of the Ming army's advance was extremely firm, and the fallen soldiers would soon be pushed by the people behind, and the entire phalanx would still be crushed forward at the speed of walking.

After paying a certain number of casualties, the phalanx of the first wave had rushed to less than 20 paces in front of the Spaniards' defence. At this time, this battalion phalanx of the Ming army finally stopped advancing. All the soldiers who had emptied their ammunition began to reload as fast as they could, ignoring the bullets from the Spaniards who were firing in line in front of them.

The reload will soon be over, and the first three rows of the phalanx will fire a salvo! At the whistle of the officers, the soldiers of the first row took a half-kneeling position to shoot, while the soldiers of the second and third rows maintained an upright position and laid down their muskets.

Rumble!

With a continuous roar, hundreds of deadly lead bullets swept away, and the front row of the Spanish musketeers was immediately overwhelmed!

This level of casualties was apparently up to the limits of what these New Spanish peasant soldiers could bear, and although they had not yet collapsed, they were already shaking their hands and feet and could not properly reload their ammunition. And their opponents are actually quite flustered, although they have been brainwashed by feudal **** since they were children, and they have all been on the battlefield before arriving in the Americas. But this is the first time that this kind of fighting style has been used for the first time. However, the long-term cultivation education and rigorous training still had an effect at this time, and they reloaded significantly faster than their opponents.

So, the second, third, and fourth waves of salvos started one after another!

Hundreds of buckshot pierced the air, pierced through the smoke, swept through the panicked Spanish infantry array, and knocked down the panicked guys in rows!

But the Spaniards also got out of the way, and Don. Huang. José himself went to the front, one or two hundred meters behind the line of fire, and behind him were a neatly lined battalion of Spanish musketeers.

One battalion in front was crushed, and immediately a new battalion of musketeers would fill it!

It was clear that the prime minister of the Kingdom of New Spain had made the greatest determination to fight to the death against the Ming army heading south in the Flood Valley...... Even if it's a lose-lose situation, it's worth it.

After all, in the Americas, the total number of white, mixed-race whites in New Spain is almost 600,000! If we include the Indians who converted to Catholicism, three or four million people are not a problem. And the American Mansion on the side of the Ming Dynasty had a population of more than 100,000 at most.

The numerical advantage is still on the side of New Spain!

If we can't defeat the enemy in one fell swoop now, in another ten or eight years, the Chinese of the Americas may exceed one million...... When the time comes, they won't be satisfied with this little bit of territory in the Gulf of America! California doesn't necessarily satisfy their appetite!

However, when he saw that the musketeers, who had been placed on the European battlefield to fight a battle, were broken down by the Ming army and retreated undisciplinedly, a sense of foreboding hung over him.

This decisive battle won't be lost, will it?

Just in the Don. Huang. As José struggled to get this bad thought out of his mind, the sound of hurried horses' hooves and a tumult suddenly came from behind him.

Tang Dynasty. Huang. José hurriedly looked back and saw a knight riding towards him, shouting as he ran: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! I'm the Governor of California! ”

Governor of California? De Velasco? How did he get here? Could it be that there is a situation on the side of the Honxun Temple again?

By this time de Velasco had already rushed to him, and without dismounting, he shouted on horseback: "Duke! The Japanese have betrayed us! We're surrounded! ”

What the? The Japanese actually defected, and we were surrounded......

Tang Dynasty. Huang. Jose jumped to his feet, "What's going on?" ”

De Bellasco shouted to Don. Huang. Jose said: "Duke, the Japanese around the temple suddenly mutinied and joined forces with the Ming army in the temple...... They also made a surprise attack on the camp of the Marquis of Gaspara! My two regiments were also caught off guard by them, so they had to retreat to the south entrance of the flood valley and hold on!

Duke, we are surrounded by enemies! ”

Tang Dynasty. Huang. Jose was stunned on the spot!

How is this surrounded? It was fine just now, why was it surrounded in the blink of an eye? And weren't those people in the Shimazu family the sworn enemies of the Ming Dynasty? Why did you take refuge in the past? Is there something wrong with their brains or something?

"Duke! It's time to break through! "De Bellasco saw Don. Huang. Jose was in a daze, and hurriedly reminded him, "You can still stand out now, if you wait until those damn Japanese build fortifications outside the flood valley, you won't be able to leave!" ”

"But, but ......" Don. Huang. Jose couldn't even speak, "But what about California?" ”

De Belasco shook his head and said, "I can't keep it...... But we still have Mexico! And the Viceroyalty of Peru! There are also the world's largest silver mines, vast and fertile land, and millions of people who believe in God. So the defeat is only temporary, as long as we hold the San Diego Castle and the Sonora Desert, we can keep Mexico safe, and we have a chance to make a comeback! ”

Tang Dynasty. Huang. José had already recovered from his panic and shock, and he said to de Belasco: "And St. Fortress of Presidio in Francisco...... We have to stay there for the time being! That is our stronghold to contain China, and it is also a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Chinese! Because there are still thousands of Japanese women and children held there...... We just exchanged them for our captured warriors! ”

"Duke, I will personally go to the fortress of Presidio to hold on!"

Tang Dynasty. Huang. Jose nodded: "Good! That's it......" he was already in good spirits, his eyes swept from side to side, and then he said to his generals, "the defeat of New Spain is only temporary!" Because we still have enough capital in our hands, as long as we work hard, our kingdom will be invincible!

And we have God's blessing! God and New Spain are with you! ”

"God and New Spain are with you!"

Don who was cornered. Huang. As soon as José and his Spaniards and German mercenaries showed their desperate spirit, the Japanese outside the flood valley could not stop them. After all, they still have more than 10,000 people, while the Japanese only have more than 2,000, which is still a tired division, and it is not really necessary to fight with the Spaniards...... The way to preserve strength, the Japanese also know.

And Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren on the other side, they didn't know what was happening south of the Flood Valley? They don't have a phone or a mobile phone, and they can't contact Zhu Cihuan, so they don't know that the Shimazu family has turned back. So the sudden retreat of the Spaniards was completely unexpected by them, and at first they thought that the Don. Huang. José was using some kind of trickery, so he didn't let go of his hands and feet to chase after him. By the time they contacted Zhu Cihuan, figured out the situation, and then began to pursue, the Spaniards had already run a little far.

But run from the northern part of the Satsuma Valley to St. Francisco still has more than 500 miles, Don. Huang. If José's men were able to run half the distance, then God was really to be thanked......
