But unfortunately, the Huaxia Army took them by surprise by opening fire first, and had to counterattack and shoot at the Huaxia Army at a distance of 50 meters.

Now they still maintain a distance of more than 50 meters, this is not because the British army was beaten and did not work hard enough, but they did not find that the fighting method of the Huaxia army is that the first platoon stands ten meters away from the third row behind the first row, and then rotates in turn, the second row stands one meter behind the first row, and the third row retreats in turn, so that after a round, the Huaxia army as a whole retreats ten meters, widens the distance between it and the enemy, and reduces casualties.

Because the farther the distance, for the arquebus, the smaller the quasi-head, after these rounds, the Huaxia army as a whole retreated a distance of 50 meters, and the distance from the enemy, the British army is advancing while fighting, and the same is true of other phalanxes, but it is not so aggressive, now they maintain a distance of 80 meters from the Huaxia army, and on the whole, the Huaxia army has retreated about 20 meters.

On the battlefield, which was filled with gunsmoke, gunfire, screams, and the smell of blood, the enemy did not notice this small action.

The whole battle was handed over to Xuanyuan Longfei by Zhang Qiang to command, Xuanyuan Longfei this guy is quite good, after a period of silence, he led the troops many times, and achieved good results, although under the general trend, that is, in several major battles between the Huaxia Army and the Qing Army, his achievements are actually not so conspicuous, but he is also a more practical leader in leading troops, and he does show the quality of an excellent general The Huaxia Army has cultivated a general.

There are many middle-level generals in the Huaxia Army who can be called elite soldiers, many qualified officers, and middle-level generals who can complete tasks and accurately carry out the tasks arranged by Zhang Qiang, but there are not many generals who can really be called independent.

Xiao Fei counts one, Ruan Jin counts one, they are all capable of fighting, and they have actual combat records, Hu Kui is also counted as one, and the others can only be promoted step by step in the group of the army, and they can only be qualified officers of the Huaxia Army.

As a latecomer, they did a pretty good job, and as the successors of the second batch of Huaxia Army, they are also outstanding.

But among the characters of the first batch of the Huaxia Army, many people turned into civilian officials, such as Zhou Congee, Mi Chun, and Mi Lin, who grew up to be the mainstay of the civilian side of the Huaxia Army, and the prominent ones in the military side were Wei Wuji and Jin Lin, Wei Wuji has become half a civilian official, and the position of governor has actually been regarded as a civilian official in the Ming Dynasty.

The Admiral is also a semi-militarized, semi-civilian military general, and the Governor is a true civilian leader.

In the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the general soldier is the real leader of the generals, the pinnacle of the generals, and then the online is the addition of officials to the knighthood, with various honorary titles on his head, and he began to enjoy his old age in peace.

For the first batch of people who started with Zhang Qiang, they are also Zhang Qiang's henchmen, many of them are already in high positions, either to enjoy happiness, or to become civilian officials, and continue to fight for the cause of the Huaxia Army.

Xuanyuan Longfei is a late bloomer in the first batch of characters.

Originally, Zhang Qiang wanted to personally command the battle, but then he thought about it, he was already the soul of the Huaxia Army, even if there was any credit, it was the icing on the cake, and it also blocked the way for his subordinates to advance, which was a big taboo for a hegemon, and it happened that Xuanyuan Longfei arrived with reinforcements, he thought about it, and let him take full responsibility for commanding the battle between the guard regiment and the Portuguese coalition army.

Zhang Qiang's new shrunken personal guard stayed at the rear of the battlefield, about a mile away, on a high platform, watching the battle with a telescope, and in the future, he might personally command such a battle, and there would be fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield in person.

He perfectly interprets the role of the commander of a slashing player's leader.

After taking over Zhang Qiang's command, Xuanyuan Longfei quickly adjusted his deployment, and the two battalions of flintlock musket musket phalanxes that were almost disabled were quickly replaced by a Jinwei 2 arquebus phalanx, a phalanx composed of improvised wounded and scout battalion soldiers, and the two phalanxes took over the battle of the two flintlock pistol phalanxes in front.

In the face of the two British arquebus battalions of 360 people that had been annihilated, one was severely damaged, one was disabled, and the remaining British arquebusiers were not very many British army, this arquebus unit of more than 800 people once again dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's remaining arquebus phalanx, and then the British army's arquebus phalanx was broken, and it was the Indian phalanx that was transferred up, and there were also British cold weapon combat units on the left and right of the phalanx, a pikemen phalanx, and an archery phalanx.

The number is about two thousand.

The British Governor Macconjie's personal guards and the few remaining musketeers of one or two hundred men who were crippled retreated to the rear more than a mile, and most of the covering troops behind them would meet.

At this time, the British no longer dared to play the game of brave approaching and slamming the enemy at close range, they were 80 meters away from the Chinese army, and 20 meters less than the crippled phalanx of the Spaniards next to them, and the Spanish army commander was half angry.

Because when the British were attacked in front, they were facing two phalanxes of scout battalions and dragoon battalions, and after the first round of firing, they had a chance to fight back in the third round, and after only one round, a section of the phalanx in front of them was crushed.

Both the pikemen in cover next to them and the arquebusiers in the middle discarded their weapons and retreated dozens of meters, and if it weren't for the cavalry of the pro-guard team, the Spanish army would have collapsed after two heavy blows.

The first was artillery, which caused them to lose more than a hundred, the second was this round of blows, which caused them to lose more than three hundred again, and now there are only more than seven hundred left in the phalanx of more than 1,200 Spaniards.

Staying at a distance of seventy meters, although there was no advance or retreat, the Huaxia army slyly retreated ten meters, thus forming a stepped formation.

Originally, it was the British army in front, and the Spanish army had to speed up in order to maintain the formation, but the Dutch were killed and wounded too badly, cowering, and fell ten meters behind them, while the cunning Portuguese were ten meters behind again, forming a stepped formation from right to left, and now from left to right, the Portuguese became the forefront of the attack of the Chinese arquebus phalanx on the other side.

Xuanyuan Longfei's command is very stable, perhaps he was influenced by Zhang Qiang, who loves defense and counterattacks.

Unhurriedly follow the enemy's rhythm.

Since the British side was willing to die, they would fight that side first, and then fight in turn until the Portuguese caught up behind.

Now the Portuguese, whether they want it or not, unintentionally or dedicatedly, anyway, I will hit you first.

So the Portuguese were unlucky, Xuanyuan Longfei sent a battalion of chasers plus the elite of the lancers plus the only special marksman of the guard regiment, the rifled flintlock musketeers, although the loading was slow, slow to death, but the range was long, the shooting was accurate, dozens of rifled flintlock musketeers, that is, back and forth gunners, sneakily scattered behind the formation, carefully aimed at the opponent.

Sixty meters, seventy meters, a long distance, but for them, who to hit, will definitely not hit the person next to them.
