The Spanish colonial army's attack on Xu was unfavorable, and the attack on Deng was also difficult.

After successfully capturing a town abandoned by the Wehrmacht, the Spaniards set out from the town after resting. Their commander, Lieutenant General Antonio Banderas of the Spanish Army, had a less relaxed face than before. The experience of these two days has left him with a lot of heartbreak. The elusive Chinese really gave him a headache. Banderas had a bad feeling in his heart!

But for the sake of his own honor, he could not lead his troops to turn around and flee before they encountered the 'stubborn' resistance of the Chinese 'big army'.

From crossing the border - the Spanish colonial army on the eastern route also left a small half of the troops, divided and surrounded several Wehrmacht military positions and defensive positions along the border line, and then they suffered the same fate as the Santiago department.

The Spanish cavalry at the head was knocked out one or two hundred pieces piecemeal, and the cavalry units were demoralized and unwilling to even be at the front. After the infantry was reassigned to act as the vanguard, the vanguard began to encounter small-scale contact battles from time to time, no longer the cold guns of rifle shooters, but small-scale battles at the battalion and company level, and there were non-stop riots day and night.

It is worth noting that the Chinese seem to be all armed with rifled guns.

This made the Spanish colonial army feel very uncomfortable, and Antonio Banderas did not have a good idea. Like Santiago, he also felt that the Chinese had a bit of an unusual number of rifled guns, and the idea of a pure rifled gun unit reminded him of the British rifle regiment. But he still didn't want to go home, it would make him laugh at him.

"It's a different mode of fighting." Antonio Banderas is still aware of war. This tactic of the Chinese seems to be very unstylish, like a despicable thief, but the results are not small, and the accumulated data makes him feel terrified. Therefore, he was not angered by the actions of the Wehrmacht, but gave a good evaluation quite rightly.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General. The Spanish army did not need to learn this dirty method. Learning such tactics only reduces the morale, organization and morale of our army. Some of the senior Spanish colonial officers around Banderas did not agree with him.

No one wants to face death. Chen Han can play this way because Chen Han's army was not an army in the 'platoon shooting' mode at the beginning, and now it has completely abandoned the few restrictions imposed on itself by the 'platoon shooting' model, although they have not yet found the definition and mode of the new army, but it is a whole big step ahead of the European armies in the era of platoon shooting.

If the same thing is popularized in the Spanish colonial army in the era of back-row shooting, it will really have a counterproductive effect on the organization, discipline, morale and sense of honor that the soldiers have received before, and it will really have a certain impact.

The two major civilizations of the East and the West are very different in their understanding and cognition of some things, and for the current mode of fighting, the Chinese and the army, which have not deeply fallen behind the traces of the era of shooting and killing, are obviously more adapted than the Europeans.

The words of Major General Igor Casillas Torres did not win the contemptuous glance of Antonio Banderas. "Yes, Major General. This tactic did not suit the Spanish Army. "Banderas is also a veteran of a thirty-year military career, and it is easy to see that this tactic is incompatible with the Spanish Army's current situation.

European armies are also freeing themselves from the shackles and influences of the era of platoon shooting, but the impact of 'platoon shooting' on them is too great.

Today's European generals, everyone is a person who has come from the era of platoon shooting, and even this range can include Napoleon. In contrast, the French Revolution caused a large number of aristocratic officers to flee the army, and the revolutionary self-defense forces, organized by the majority of the people, were inherently inferior to the regular armies of other countries in terms of discipline and formation, but took the lead in allowing the French to advance on the road to free themselves from the old military shackles.

Antonio Banderas continued to whisper: "If the Cossacks of Russia are willing to dismount and fight. This tactic is simply inherently set for them. All it takes is the way of laying mines in the east, west, north and south, and equipping small groups of rifle shooters to block the attack, so that the enemy cannot tell how many troops there are outside, and the enemy does not dare to make a big move. "And the problem with Spain is that they don't have brave Cossacks.

The Spanish colonial armies in the Americas did have some locally conscripted cavalry, who were inferior in training and discipline to the regular Spanish cavalry, and were very similar to the Russian Cossacks, but unfortunately they did not have the blood and courage of the Cossacks. And without this, these South American cavalry and Mexican cavalry are a rabble.

As he spoke, a dull explosion was heard in the distance, and a series of gunshots were heard from the southeast.

Antonio Banderas even heard the explosion and knew that it was not the sound of artillery or grenade explosions, but the explosion of mines produced by the Chinese.

Yes, mines, this is another novelty.

Although this weapon appeared hundreds of years earlier in the history of China and Europe, the landmines of that time were completely different from the landmines of today. With detonators and fuses, Chinese-made mines have a much higher explosion rate and are also highly sensitive.

Horror weapons are not complicated or elaborate, nor are they very powerful, and the largest mine is about the size of a small watermelon. But at most, a blast knocked down four or five people next to each other, although none of them were actually killed, and even one of them who stepped on a mine could have only one leg broken.

But these weapons are terrifying, they explode too much to prevent, and their ability to inflict wounded is truly disgusting. It is important to know that on the march, each wounded man needs a third to a half of a wagon, or a 'burden' of two soldiers.

"Cowards, cowards, shameless, despicable cowards!" Captain José Bugalar yelled at the Wehrmacht harassment unit that had disappeared into the darkness.

"Captain, we should catch up. Kick the ass of these abominable yellow-skinned monkeys. A veteran shouted.

Anyway, in the dark of night, as long as you leave the fire, rifled guns are not much more accurate than smoothbore guns.

"Yes, Captain, that's the way it should be. Kick the Chinese in the ass hard. These damn cowards are constantly harassing us, and we're too reactive. The Spanish officers in the company were clamoring for a lot of noise.

Soon, a group of seventy or eighty Spanish colonial soldiers ran out of the garrison without anything, and chased them in the direction of the Wehrmacht's harassment of the soldiers. There weren't many people they had to deal with, otherwise they wouldn't have even lost four people. But they were very soon, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they were in the minefield that had been pre-set by the Wehrmacht scouts.

A small spark suddenly erupted from the ground, which was the detonator of the mine, and some mines were buried shallowly, and the spark sprayed directly onto the ground.

A Wehrmacht scout in ambush in the distance saw a burst of fire on the ground, followed by several black figures being pushed to the ground by gunpowder, and a terrible scream rang out.

When the hard ceramic sphere shell is fired, it leaves a special mesh engraving on the outside. There was also iron sand and iron pieces inside, and along with the air waves, countless fragments flew in the air. or deeply pierce the human body, or cut off a large piece of flesh, or even simply penetrate the body. The lethality was greater than a simple explosion, and although it was impossible to kill people on the spot, unless the unfortunate throat, lower body, and arteries were wounded, it was possible that the wounded would survive in the Spaniards' field hospital.

Many of those iron sand and iron chips are rusty or soaked in urine and feces, which are stained with too many unclean things, and the wound inflammation rate is extremely high.

The Spanish colonial army did not expect to encounter such an attack at all, the black light is blind, and the Chinese are not afraid to bomb themselves by mistake? A mine knocked over five or six people. It was really blown up, but it was quiet; But none of them died, so it was miserable. Many uninjured soldiers of the Spanish colonial army were also shocked, and the Chinese were really bold.

Some of them were so frightened that they ran backwards with headless flies, only to trigger another mine.

Before, when they came over, they didn't know why, the mine didn't trigger at that moment, but now the mine exploded.

After a loud bang, several Wehrmacht scouts took the opportunity to shoot at the figure anyway. It added fuel to the fire of the Spanish colonial army.

In such a few blows that suddenly rose, this group of seventy or eighty Spanish colonial troops was in disarray. Ten people were killed and wounded. A few scouts, with two mines and a few shots, were able to defeat an enemy who was far outnumbered by themselves, which was not an easy achievement.

No one cleaned up the battlefield, whether it was the colonial soldiers who were beaten in the chaos, or the wounded colonial soldiers, whether they were dead or alive, whether they were seriously wounded or lightly wounded, it was all left to the Spaniards. And there are really not only two mines in that area, don't accidentally step on them in the dark night, and you will laugh at people.

Antonio Banderas soon learned the fate of Captain José Bugalar. The troops on duty at night were all the elite of his army of 20,000. As a result, half of the troops of this elite company rushed out, and in less than two quarters of an hour, they were beaten into a mess and fled back in embarrassment. It made him very sad.

At that moment, gunshots rang out from outside the camp. These Chinese only hid in the dark and fired their guns vigorously, and the Spanish colonial troops went out with torches, and they would suffer heavy casualties. If you don't light the torch and go out, you won't even find a shadow. This night is really passive!

By daytime, the form of the Spanish colonial army was much better. The Wehrmacht's harassing forces were more face-to-face with the Spanish cavalry and colonial vanguards, and had little effect on the main forces in the center.

And in terms of his own situation, Antonio Banderas's prestige in this army is really good.

A neat queue means the discipline of the troops, and there is no other sound of words except footsteps, which also means that the troops are strictly disciplined. Moreover, people are not wooden stakes that will not be moved if they are placed there, and if the soldiers do not have enough energy and physical strength, they will not be able to maintain the neatness of the queue for a long time. And the soldiers' sufficient energy and physical strength means the level of training, and the kind of firm will contained in the soldiers' eyes means the morale of the army and the fighting spirit of the army. If you don't do this well, if you can't do it well, the soldiers will think too much, and their eyes will naturally become scattered and complicated, and then their spirit will be gone.

Only the morale of the army is high, the soldiers are full of self-confidence in the war, and all that is left in the eyes is a very simple and condensed gaze.

As a general who rose to prominence in the suppression of the Seven Years' War, and then went through the North American War and the First Central and Western American War, although Banderas is not a famous general with high prestige, but like a veteran, he has experienced the whole process of this colonial army from establishment to formation, and Antonio Banderas still has a relatively high status in the hearts of the soldiers of the army.

When the Spanish colonial army marched to Deng, the sound of the roaring footsteps at the beginning of the march was only exciting, and the trees rose like a thunderbolt. The spirit of the army is all at the top.

This is the role of a good, proper commander in an army. Just like the Fu Han army under Chen Ming's original command, the soldiers marched forward bravely on the battlefield, and the soldiers did not consider the possibility of defeat at all.

At the beginning of the war, the spirit ran through the body of every Spanish officer, who had a visceral quest for victory.

Moreover, Banderas did not command the troops to storm and attack on the border line of the state of Deng, but let people divide and encircle at the beginning, leaving a small half of the troops to surround the Wehrmacht and the Deng army on the fortifications and positions, and then the main force continued to advance.

But now? In the midst of continuous harassment, the Spanish colonial army was little by little close to the immigration office of Deng State. And the closer they get to the immigration area, the lower their morale becomes, and the harder their lives become.

Because it is very simple, where there are immigrants, there is agriculture and economy, and there is more farmland, there is more food; When there is more food, the population increases; As the population increases, the city becomes more prosperous. This territory is more prosperous, and it is more able to support the garrison of many armies.

It's like the Russians in Siberia. Without cities as a foundation and a good foundation for agriculture and animal husbandry, it is impossible to station too many troops for a long time. The Chinese have a much better level of business than the Spaniards, and the Spaniards also have their own sources of intelligence, and they know that Deng Guo has changed greatly in only a few years.

Antonio Banderas, as the commander of the colonial army's eastern route, knew a lot about the current Deng Kingdom. China's colonial government encouraged the construction of water conservancy and the cultivation of farmland, and they divided land among the landless poor who had migrated to the mainland, lent them money to start a new life, and encouraged horse farming in agriculture. The changes in the hinterland of Deng are really something that the Chinese have done little by little over the years.

In the past, Antonio Banderas would still be contemptuous of 'building water conservancy'. In his eyes, the Indians of the Americas were as stupid and unteachable as the of Africa.

They should work the plantations of the Spaniards, obey the instructions of the Spaniards, and work hard under the guidance of the Spaniards to create the wealth of the Spaniards.

But in fact, it was the Spaniards who colonized the Americas, and the contradictions between them and the Indians were too acute to come together. And it is difficult for the Spaniards' own immigrants to spread out in the Americas on a large scale now, the 'foundation' is far less solid than the Chinese in North America, so pure, they also introduced a large number of black slaves, then the strategy is completely different.
