Chapter 1105: Let Tang Yi sleep
What made Mo Jinggong frightened and frightened was the famous Spanish phalanx, after decades of improvement and development, the number of firearms equipped with the Spanish phalanx has exceeded seventy-five. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time, it was the elite of the elite who came to the East, a total of two regiments, more than 6,000 people.
It was not easy at all to transfer troops for thousands of miles, and for the sake of these 6,000 people, Spain had done its best and spent a lot of time. In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty has taken the Mo Dynasty in northern Annam, and the Spanish have also eroded Hou Li.
Their ambitions don't stop there, Dongfan Island, which is rich in sugar cane, and Luzon, which has countless copper and gold deposits, are all fat meat that they want to get their hands on.
Even the Spaniards pondered attacking the Ming Dynasty, finding out the mystery of porcelain and raw silk, and taking the cash cow into their own hands.
Don't think that they are dreaming, Spain colonized everywhere, occupying territory even larger than the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the invincibility of the Ming Dynasty made their confidence seriously inflated, swelled to the point that they could ignore the Ming Dynasty.
Governor Agaton pointed to the corpses everywhere and arrogantly declared that he would conquer the whole East and bring the richest country in the world to the feet of Spain.
It is difficult for a Spaniard to understand how huge the Ming is, they wiped out more than 20,000 people of the Mo Dynasty in a war, which is much more than the total number of troops in many European countries. The Spaniards paid only more than 200 casualties.
A glorious victory, a war of annihilation!
Agaton was intoxicated by the boundless praise, including Zheng Song of Houli, who also flattered them, sent treasured treasures, and presented the most beautiful women. In order to satisfy the appetite of these people, he did not hesitate to requisition buffalo everywhere and send bloody steaks. In Annan's fields, only a skinny farmer dragged a heavy plow, moving forward step by step......
October was the harvest season, and the Spanish and Houli gathered their men and horses to prepare to take the northern lands in one fell swoop.
Just before they sent their troops, the Ming army was also launched.
The first to appear was Qi Jimei's cavalry, they were like a whirlwind, everywhere they passed, they brought killing, crazy bloodbaths, monstrous fires, burned the grain that had just been recovered, the rations of the Annan people were gone, and their homes were destroyed.
Terrified, they flocked to the city. The celebrity gentry went to ask Zheng Song to send men and horses to protect the ravaged people.
Zheng Song refused without hesitation, the strength of the Ming army was not something they could defeat at all, and he would not send his precious troops to death.
Qi Jimei's killing in Annan lasted for half a month, and when the food ran out, they left with a total of 300,000 refugees in Annan......
The outpost battle was over, and the real decisive battle followed, Liu Xian personally commanded, 8,000 Ming troops, 5,000 mercenaries from the Beiyang Company, and 15,000 Mo Dynasty soldiers who were improvised to rush to Da Nang along the narrow plain.
The same Spanish and Lebanese coalition forces also rushed out, and the two sides opened up and began to fight.
The Spanish phalanx was neat and strong, and meticulous. The battle formations of the same Ming army are also lined up one after another, overwhelming. The two sides turned out to be carved out of a mold.
Of course, in the eyes of experts who know firearms, this is not surprising. The accuracy of the front-loading gun is poor, and only by relying on the number to win and line up to shoot is the best and the only option.
The drums of war rumbled, and the Ming army took the lead in shooting, and blood splashed on Spain's chest, one after another, like fireworks in the dark night, dazzling.
Falling one by one, the amazing thing is that the Spaniards did not frighten, but rushed forward with determination.
Those killings alone made the Annan people on both sides frightened, whether it was Zheng Song or Mo Jinggong, they all sighed to themselves, with their subordinates, they categorically couldn't do it to this extent.
At last the Spaniards were in range, and their guns rang out, and the Ming troops in the front row fell quickly like a lightning strike, rolling on the ground in pain, and the blood stained the earth.
Liu Xian's eyes were almost split, he had never encountered such a fierce opponent since the formation of the firecracker, he gasped and ordered the Ming army to stand up.
Gunfire rang out round after round, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was the Spaniards or the Ming army, and could only see that both sides kept falling, and more and more dead and wounded on the ground, and there was no time to even rescue the wounded.
Two of the toughest teams of the East and West are hedged here, neither of them wants to retreat, and neither of them wants to suffer the consequences of defeat.
Only by tightening the teeth, whoever can survive to the end will win.
Mechanically loaded and fired, and the smoke of gunpowder made both sides unable to see each other's faces clearly, and they did not know their own results, so they only kept shooting.
At this moment, above the heads of the Ming army, two huge hot air balloons rose.
Condescendingly, the situation on the battlefield is clear at a glance.
It was Qi Anguo who was responsible for observing the situation, he was standing on the hanging basket, almost fainting, and rows of soldiers fell, this is not a war, he is simply playing with his life!
He sorted out his thoughts and stabilized his mind, and suddenly found that there was a phalanx of Spaniards, pressing towards the Ming army from the side, and he hurriedly waved the flag in his hand.
The Ming army below immediately changed their formation, and Liu Xian threw out the trump card in his hand.
The tall grenadiers rushed up quickly, they threw off their long arms, threw the grenade in the middle of the Spaniards, the volley exploded, the heavenly maidens scattered, and the Spaniards fell, they finally panicked, the Ming army actually had a trick they didn't know.
At this time, Qi Jimei led the cavalry, wearing a bright cuirass, and quickly attacked, like thunder, and quickly arrived in front of the Spaniards.
Without saying anything, he raised his spear and pierced the other party's body fiercely.
Wielding a long saber, the big head flew high with the blade, and the blood rose to the sky, poignant and enjoyable.
They killed mercilessly, and no force could stop them, and the Spanish phalanx that was divided not only did not defeat the Ming army, but was beaten by the cavalry.
Qi Jimei had no time to deal with the rest of the Spaniards, that was the matter of the infantry behind, and his men and horses went straight to the large phalanx of the Spaniards.
The prepared rockets burst into the sky and exploded among the Spaniards.
"Hell, God, what do I see?"
Agadon held his head and shouted frantically, he swore that he could not believe his eyes, the far east, isn't there only silk and porcelain?
When did their firearms become so powerful, they even had a weapon of mass destruction that even the Spanish Empire did not have!
What a hell of a life!
The rocket exploded, this time it was not filled with fire oil, it was filled with pieces of broken iron, it was filled with lead pellets and iron sand, and it splashed all over the body, one by one the blood holes, the Spanish soldiers screamed frantically, they could no longer maintain a tight formation, they scattered and fled, losing the protection of their comrades, and the infantry became weak.
The cavalry formed a sharp sword and plunged it into the opponent's chest, the blood stained the soldiers' armor red, their shoulders were numb, their throats were bleeding, they were still fighting, and the Spanish pikemen tried to stop the momentum of the Ming army, only to be knocked away by the heavy cavalry equipped with armor.
He fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood and breaking several ribs.
The cavalry was like a mad hammer, hammering down on the Spanish phalanx, and finally, the rock-solid opponent faltered, loosened, and shattered......
Liu Xian's command flag was raised high, and the Ming army pressed on it in all directions, and fought until dusk, when the Spaniards were defeated and they fled back to Da Nang.
The Ming army won a crucial victory, but was it a victory?
More than 1,500 soldiers were killed, more than 1,000 were wounded, and even the cavalry lost more than 500 men.
Even in the face of the cavalry of Alta, the musketeers of the Ming army did not suffer such a big loss.
Frankly speaking, the Ming army's guns had an advantage over the Spaniards, and they also had an advantage in troops, but they still fought at home, and they ended up with a reckless victory, and Liu Xian felt that his old face was lost.
Faced with corpses everywhere, pungent and bloody, he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
When he came, Lord Motosuke repeatedly explained that the Spaniards should not be underestimated, they were the darlings of the Age of Discovery, with a huge colony and amazing strength. Moreover, their soldiers have gone through countless battles and crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood.
In contrast, the Ming army was much weaker, except for attacking Alta in the north and sending troops to Annam, the Ming army had never fought overseas at all, and it was already very satisfying to be able to fight like this.
In the real contest between the East and the West, the Ming Dynasty won a precious victory.
But Liu Xian can't forgive himself, he thinks he can play better.
He wants to use the blood of the Spaniards to pay tribute to the dead soldiers, leave them in the land of the East forever, and make them regret it for the rest of their lives!
"Forward!"
The Ming army briefly cleaned up the battlefield and immediately rushed forward, this time the dog-legged Mo Jinggong was already completely convinced.
It's not better than not knowing, it's a startle, the heavenly soldiers and generals in his eyes are not the opponents of the Ming army, and now he doesn't have any intention to resist the Ming Dynasty, even if he is allowed to die now, he will draw his sword and kill himself, just crisp. Fighting against the Ming army is even more terrible than death!
The men and horses of the Mo Dynasty surrounded Da Nang, and the Ming army acted as a warlord, no matter how much life was paid, they had to take the city!
Liu Xianhong was bare-eyed and ruthless.
"Zongzhen, Elder Wang is looking for you."
Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, and saw someone rushing over with Wang Yin.
"It's Shiyuegong!"
Wang Yin clenched his fists, "Congratulations to Mr. Liu, I will be powerful tomorrow, and I will be far away from Xiyi!" ”
Liu Xian shook his head, "Shiyue Gong, the essence of Xiyi's firearms, is not under the Ming Dynasty, ashamed of it!" It's all us who sit in the well and watch the sky, and look down on the heroes of the world. No matter what, this gang of Xiyi will be killed cleanly! The old general gritted his teeth, apparently resentful to the extreme.
"Hehe, Mr. Liu, the old man has the courage to advise, don't attack Da Nang for the time being."
"Shiyuegong, what do you mean?" Liu Xian was puzzled.
Wang Yin smiled faintly, "Encircle the point to send reinforcements, the Xiyi fleet is still there, not except for their navy, I'm afraid that our Yuanfu won't even sleep peacefully." ”
I can't imagine that Shoufu is so jealous of Xiyi? Liu Xian clenched his fists and laughed, "The last general will definitely let Yuanfu sleep!" (To be continued.) )
