But anyway, Zhang Qiang is here to help them, and they can't be too harsh and can't ask too much.

Just like that to get to the front.

The camp of the Ming army on the front line was larger, with more than a dozen ten-mile-long company camps.

On the opposite side is the county seat of the Trench Gate.

There are no city walls in the county town of Momenjing, but there are fortifications built according to this hill on all sides, there are forts, there are forts, there are trenches, and there are various flags fluttering on different positions.

In front of the position were horses, tree stumps, pits, like the surface of the moon, and many corpses were lying in those places, and there was no one to collect them.

Most of them were from the Ming army.

Such a scene made Zhang Qiang think of Raozhou Mansion and the battle between the Huaxia Army and the Qing Army.

It's like that.

I didn't expect the Portuguese to learn so quickly.

In the telescope, there are also many Portuguese camps, and you can see all kinds of people busy more than ten miles away.

It's really like the Wanguo Alliance fighting the Ming Dynasty.

Beyond the overlapping camps and positions, I saw a town-like place in the distance, and on a cliff behind, a place like a European castle loomed.

On the seaside, you can also see the sea masts, like the shadow of a sail that cannot be seen at a glance.

This scene reminded Zhang Qiang of the Celestial Dynasty's expedition to Jerusalem.

But it seems that the characters are reversed, they are the attackers, it is Saladin, and the other side is the defenders, the crusaders.

If you look closely, you can see a war machine that looks like a catapult in the woods on the hillside in the distance.

And the Ming army is much simpler, a trench, it is estimated that it is like the other party, and then behind are various camps, and behind the camps are tent companies and camps for more than ten miles.

On the hill and on the camp, there is also artillery, each of which is in its own way, and it is estimated that a company camp, a camp, a camp, is a force, a camp, and a general's camp.

The Portuguese used trenches, terrain, and fortifications to block the Ming army, and the Ming army was still the same as before, and the Qing army was still guarded against the Qing army, all kinds of camps, like a city, each fighting for itself, and it can be seen that the cavalry of the Ming army is far more than that, and it is estimated that the Portuguese do not have so many cavalry, so they are on the defensive, after all, in this era, the cavalry is like a tank in World War II, even if it is a Peeding tank, it also has a considerable role, therefore, the Portuguese still can't attack, they can only control the attack of the Ming army, and can't drive the Ming army away, Or they hit it out.

What are the Portuguese and the Tessians trying to do?

There is a refined army that is not used, and they use some cannon fodder and garbage to fight against the Ming army, do they just disregard life like this?

Hearing the descriptions of the battles between the two sides these days, we can know that the Portuguese only sent hundreds of their regular troops to kill the elite of the Ming army at the most critical moment of the battle, and then they retreated, talking to the Ming army with cannons and bullets, as well as the lives of those cannon fodder.

As a player of Zhimeiliu, Zhang Qiang thinks about a large and wide area, from a strategic point of view, from the perspective of the whole Ming battlefield, he thinks that it is not the Portuguese and those Taixi people who are acting together with the Qing army to play a game, a bureau that can mobilize and contain the Chinese army.

Because with the rise of the Huaxia Army, with the trade between the Huaxia Army and these Taixi people, the Qing army saw the prosperity of the Huaxia Army's territory, saw the strong source of troops in the Huaxia Army's territory, and saw the advanced weapons of the Huaxia Army, while the Taixi people saw the economic prosperity of the Huaxia Army's territory, with no shortage of goods and resources.

That's what Westerners love to do.

Just as Zhang Qiang was thinking wildly, the Ming army launched another attack on a position opposite.

Hundreds of men were driven to the enemy's position, armed with hoes, rakes, and large axes, apparently to clear the obstacles in front of the enemy's position, behind which about 2,000 Xiangyong were in formation, and in the middle were Ming soldiers on war horses.

The people soon crossed the buffer zone in the center of the positions of the two sides, which was about five or six miles wide, and the villagers also followed forward with spears, broadswords, bows and arrows, some of them still carrying hoes and hooks in their hands, and the artillery in the rear, on the hill, in the camp in front, and on the fort began to fire.

It seems that Nanming has also learned to suppress firepower.

Perhaps these guns could not reach the enemy's position at all, but they opened fire to embolden the men and soldiers who charged ahead.

Soon there was a scramble behind the enemy's positions, and the enemy in large groups went into the trenches, or lined up behind the hills, waiting for a sortie.

For about five or six minutes, there was also fire and artillery fire from the enemy's positions.

This can hit the Ming army.

Suddenly, there were casualties in the ranks of the Ming army, and the people were in a hurry, turned around and ran back.

But the Ming army would certainly not be so hasty, just launching a farcical attack.

This was perhaps them showing Zhang Qiang their fighting power and showing how they could attack the Portuguese.

Although they were also afraid, some of the people still used the handle of their knives, the back of their knives, to pat the people who were running back, and drove them away.

It turned out that the Ming army also arranged a team of warlords among the people, and they also wore the clothes of the people, but they were holding big knives and axes in their hands.

After a panic, Minfu was quickly suppressed and continued to attack reflexively.

The Portuguese did not attack, but allowed them to destroy the obstacles, which were quickly cleared and approached the Portuguese trenches.

At this time, a row of heads appeared in the Portuguese trench, and they quickly bent their bows and arrows, and the men were killed and wounded, but they continued to clear the obstacles, until they were still ten meters away from the enemy's trench, and then they rushed up with a roar and jumped into the trench to fight the Portuguese.

To be precise, it was to fight against the people organized by the Portuguese.

The other party is also a bunch of people.

The townsfolk in the back followed, they did not charge, and continued to clear the obstacles and expand the attack area.

From a width of 30 meters to a width of 100 meters, and from a width of 100 meters to a width of 150 meters in a fan shape.

By the time we cleared the trench in front of the enemy's trench, the passage area had become fifty meters wide.

The villagers jumped down the trench with swords and guns to fight the enemy.

This time the enemy's death and wound rate exceeded the speed of the people's death.

The enemy quickly replenished his forces from the trenches on the side, like a stream of water being sucked in, and quickly gathered together.

The battle between the two sides is inseparable.

At this time, Zhang Qiang saw that the Ming army had two more teams of previously configured troops.

At the distance of less than fifty meters on both sides of the original place, it was rapidly advanced and pressed.

The enemy reacted, and the enemy gathered behind the sand dunes, dressed in leather armor and armed with knives and guns, quickly ran out, ran over a distance of fifty meters, rushed to the front of the trench where the first wave of Ming troops had rushed, and fought with the Ming army.

At this time, the strength of both sides reached more than 3,000 people.

The enemy's artillery was still bombarding the area outside the trench and on the side of the Ming army, and now the artillery was bombarding the other two groups of men and horses of the charging Ming army.

The two groups dispersed quickly, and it seemed that this was not the first time they had used this method to fight, and they had also learned to disperse in front of the artillery fire to avoid the enemy's artillery fire.

But even so, the Ming army still suffered heavy casualties, which was a great blow to morale.

Some of the Ming soldiers took the opportunity to slip away, ran to the sides, or fled back.

The fate of escaping back will definitely not be good, and there are cavalry all around them to intercept and drive them away.

Zhang Qiang knew that this battle must have just begun, because neither the Ming army nor the Portuguese had invested real combat fighting troops.
