Knock knock knock......

Accompanied by rhythmic drums, the Aztec Green Banner Army began to move forward. The phalanx of 5,200 people is neatly arranged as if it were one person, and there is no chaos in the process! Just moving forward, it already makes people feel a strong murderous aura.

"It's neat! Even neater than the Mamluks! ”

"Just like the legendary Macedonian infantry and Roman legions!"

"Is this how the Chinese fight?"

"It should be even more powerful, right? I heard that these people are just vassals of the Chinese and not really Chinese troops......"

"God, they're too strong!"

"Is the Emperor of China the King of the World?"

Although the knights on the battlefield can't form such a formation themselves, the eyes of these people are still there. Some of them were a little older, they had been in the Crusades, they had been beaten by the Mamluks in the East, they had seen real armies - Napoleon's comments on the Mamluks in history were also applicable in the 13th century, all it was necessary to exchange the positions of the Mamluks and the armies of Europe. A European knight is no worse than a Mamluk cavalryman, but when the Mamluks form an army, they can beat the European knights without pressure. However, the force of Europeans is not only knights, the prelude to the era of mercenaries has gradually begun, and it will not be long before professional mercenaries such as English longbowmen and Swiss pikemen will become the main force on the European battlefield!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Just when the old men were talking, the 6 three-bow bed crossbows controlled by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy began to fire heavenly thunder arrows!

The six Heavenly Thunder Arrows drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then landed directly in the middle of the old men of the Granada Army on the opposite side. It was as if two of them had pierced the horse. First there was a snorting hiss, then a rumbling explosion. Then there was chaos. It's not that the Granada warriors are afraid of death, it's that the horses under their crotches are gone. Screaming and screaming all over the place, adding even more confusion to the already chaotic formation. Before they had time to straighten out, six more Heavenly Thunder Arrows flew over, creating even greater chaos.

The Granada warriors also brought out the same three-bow bed crossbow, scrambling to fiddle in front of the formation, and then also began to fire heavenly thunder arrows, trying to suppress the six three-bow bed crossbows of the Aztec Green Banner Army. However, although the number of Granada warriors' three-bow bed crossbows was quite large, they did not seem to have the slightest accuracy, and the heavenly thunder arrows all fell around the target. It doesn't do anything other than create clouds of smoke.

"Idiot!"

Chen Chongguan, who was riding a horse behind the big array, looked at the Heavenly Thunder Arrow flying a hundred steps away from his left, and showed a mocking smile.

Obviously, the Celestial Cult warriors of Granada didn't really master the three-bow bed crossbow - this weapon must have been made by Pu Shou Geng, but he didn't teach others how to use it properly. Now the Granada warriors are bombarding the six three-bow crossbows of the Aztec Green Banner Army with their three-bow bed crossbows, separated by more than a thousand paces, where is it so easy to hit?

The correct thing to do is to bombard the enemy's infantry with three-bow bed crossbows and artillery, and not artillery positions. But this experience. It was also obtained after many years of practice by the artillery of the Ming army. Pu Shougeng probably didn't know about it.

"Stop!"

When he was about to walk into the middle of the two armies, Chen Chongguan found that part of the cavalry of the Granadas was forming a formation, as if they were about to launch an attack.

"Hollow phalanx!"

"Prepare for the musketeers to shoot!"

Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was about to attack, Chen Chongguan was also a little nervous. Although he stayed in the military academy for many years, he was the first to teach the students, but he went into battle by himself. But it's the first time.

Fortunately, the Ming army is now taking the path of standardization. Fighting a war is not about one-mindedness. And in the code of conduct. And the infantry cavalry is the top priority of the Ming army's tactical research. It is also the focus of infantry training. Before the Aztec Green Banner Army went to fight in Europa, Chen Chongguan conducted key training for them in foot cavalry. Now all he had to do was give orders according to the rules of the discipline. In fact, it's almost the same as endorsement! If you encounter Kublai Khan's Mongol army, you may not be able to play, but then the Heavenly Sect Master of Granada is not enough.

With Chen Chongguan's order, the original phalanx changed rapidly and became a hollow phalanx, with two pikemen corps forming four horizontal formations in two columns, protecting the musket corps, the sword and shield barracks, and Chen Chongguan's headquarters on all sides. The pikemen were on their knees, with one end of the spear on the ground and the other at a 45-degree angle; The other column stood upright, with the spears laid flat, resting on the shoulders of a column of soldiers in front. The musketeers were divided into three columns, lit arquebuses, loaded their ammunition, and lined up in a large formation facing the Granada warriors, the first of which rested their tendo II rifles on the shoulders of the pikemen standing in front.

……

It's changing so fast......

Like a fortress of spears......

Alfonso X was secretly amazed, he was a king but also a knight, and he considered himself a very good knight. Whether it's a jousting tournament on horseback or a fencing contest, there are few rivals in Castile (who dares to beat the king?). ）。 But seeing those spear fortresses that the Aztec Green Banner Army quickly laid out, he also felt a little numb in his scalp.

At this time, a trumpet sounded, and it was the charge of the Heavenly Sect army. The knights of Granada are charging! I saw that thousands of Aztec knights with spears had formed a loose horizontal formation and began to gallop on horseback, first walking briskly, and then gradually accelerating, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a wild run!

These damn Celestial Cultists are really brave......

Alfonso X and more than 10,000 other knights on the battlefield secretly cocked their thumbs and admired their enemies. Although he also knew that these Heavenly Sect knights were very good at kung fu, and it was unlikely that they would really hit the tip of the enemy's spear, and most of them would suddenly change direction when they were close to the other party, so as to intimidate the other party, but this kind of horse kung fu could not be learned without more than ten years of hard training.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "bang bang" sound in front of them, and before the knights could understand what was going on, they saw the knights of Granada, who were skilled in equestrianism, fell to the ground one after another, and the good horizontal team was also chaotic, and the people shouted that the horses neighed, and they were in a mess, as if the horses were frightened. Before the frightened horses could be controlled, there was another "bang-bang" gunshot, and then more old men fell off their horses, and the rest of the horses neighed even more fiercely, and there was no way to control it at all! Then came the third volley, the fourth volley, the fifth......

Originally, the "three-shot" tactics used by these Aztec musketeers were divided into three columns, two of which were responsible for loading and charging, and one column was responsible for firing to ensure the continuity of fire output.

Five shots rang out, more than a thousand projectiles ranged, and the thousands of Granada knights who launched the attack could no longer hold on, so they had to leave the corpses and wounded on the ground and retreat in disarray.

How can it be!

It's not fair!

That's all noble knights!

How can you be killed so casually?

The Christian knights on the battlefield were all crying out in their hearts for their hapless Granada counterparts at this moment.

Although those people are damned Celestials, they will definitely go to hell in the future because they do not believe in God. But after all, these people are noble knights, and it doesn't matter if they are picked by the infantry with spears, they are not good at learning. But what's going on now? A burst of crackling thoughts, this, this is dead?

That's a knight, still wearing chain mail, how can he die like this?

Alfonso X's face was pale, he already knew that the Aztecs from afar were not good people, but he didn't expect them to be so evil! Is...... It's horrible!

The Aztecs continued to advance, not changing their formation, but maintaining the form of a hollow phalanx approaching the battle formation of the Granadas.

The knights of the Heavenly Sect were in a panic, and some of the noble Granada warriors standing in front of the Aztecs actually wanted to flee regardless of their honor! Others bravely charged with spears.

How brave it is!

Before the exclamations of the Christian lords were shouted, the Aztec muskets had been fired, and the brave Lord Granada had been killed.

There are also some old Granadas who are more intelligent, and instead of stupidly attacking the front, they ride around on horseback, trying to find the weak point of the hollow phalanx to break through, but they can't find a place to put their mouths.

"Father, it's almost time, the Granadas are in chaos, it's time for our knights to charge!"

Just as Alfonso X craned his neck, opened his mouth wide, and watched the changes on the battlefield in a daze. The hollow phalanx of the Aztecs began to advance again, and the old men of Granada in front of them were either knocked to the ground by muskets or scattered. There may be a few who are desperate for their lives not to rush to the spear array, but what is the point of such a thing other than sending them to death?

"Father, the enemy is about to be cut off!"

Alfonso X woke up violently, now is the perfect time to launch a general attack! The Granadians are in disarray, and if they don't attack, they will most likely all retreat into the city. If it was a siege, it would be nothing, but the Chinese said that there was a way to collapse the walls of Granada, and it would only take a few days.

If this is true, then prepare for street fighting. Perhaps, in a few days, the "Reconquista" will come to an end in his own hands!

Alfonso X took a sharp breath, drew his saber, pointed sharply forward, and gave the order for a general attack! The trumpet of the attack sounded, and countless Christian knights brandished their spears and drove their horses forward like a tide.

Alfonso X, on the other hand, looked at this scene, and his brows tightened more and more.

Because he already knows that the age of knights is about to pass! (To be continued......)
