Zhang Tianxi obviously agreed with Staff Officer Li's point of view, but added: "What you say is reasonable, but according to me, the Spaniards are inferior to the Qing army, at least Xianfeng can realize his own shortcomings, and is willing to hire foreigners to operate the new army and introduce a full set of Western-style equipment."

Spain once had the title of the empire on which the sun never sets, and it is the empire on which the sun never sets, and the old British old-timers, the glory of the past made him indulge in the glory of his predecessors, and refused to accept any improvement from the outside world.

For example, the history of the rear loading gun has been in real combat for almost ten years, and I don't believe that Spain will not understand the benefits of the rear loading gun, but you look at his artillery, it is still a front loading gun, what have they been doing in the past ten years?

Another example is the Mini gun, the linear array and the cavalry charge face the formed Mini gun team, I can't think of any other meaning except to send it to death, but Spain still uses the old set of linear array and cavalry charge, and the Mini gun itself is heavily equipped in Europe and the United States, our army, and even the Qing army, Spain, as a European country, still uses flintlock pistols, so in addition to what you said, I dare to assert that the Spaniards are an unenterprising nation.

Today, on behalf of the Commander-in-Chief, let us teach the Spaniards a good lesson and prepare for battle! ”

"Yes!" The whole army of soldiers shouted down!

Compared with the neatness of the Spanish army, the Democratic Alliance army is a loose formation of 50 small mountain guns in two rows, between the guns and the artillery, and on both wings, there is a pile in the east and a regiment in the west, with the platoon as the basic unit, and each platoon is equipped with a mortar as standard, which looks chaotic and can easily give people the feeling of a ragtag army.

The closer the Spanish army came closer, the stronger the contrast became. In the course of the march, three more Spanish frigates were sunk. However, the more than 10,000 people of the whole army are still advancing in an orderly manner, and this is calm and calm. Or it is old-fashioned and inflexible, and even Zhang Tianxi and other high-ranking members of the Democratic League are amazed.

The foreign armies that have fought with the Democratic Alliance include the British, French, American, and Russian armies, but such a silent enemy has never been seen in his life, and it is also a great wonder of the world.

"Fire!" According to the range of the smoothbore guns, when the Spanish army approached to the point where there were still four kilometers left. Zhang Tianxi gave the order to open fire.

Fifty guns spat out tongues of fire, shells fell in the Spanish artillery array, a puff of fire burst out on the spot, and a few entered the military band, suddenly, the sound of drums and flutes stopped abruptly, and even some members of the military band, before they died, their expressions were still full of disbelief!

He is a military band, and he is a non-combatant. It shouldn't have been hit by artillery fire!

"Oh! My God! This group of barbarians, to the extent that they attacked the military band, is an unforgivable crime, Your Excellency the Governor. Order the cavalry to attack and destroy their artillery positions. Cames turned angrily and shouted.

Juan also couldn't believe his eyes, in his opinion. The dispatch of the military band obviously gave full respect to the Democratic Alliance forces. On the other hand, the military band was bombarded. This is the rhythm of shamelessness!

Juan angrily swung his sword: "Cavalry charge!" ”

The Spanish cavalry attack is different from the cavalry attack of the Qing army, the Qing army is waving a saber, screaming and screaming, at the beginning of the attack, often disperse the formation, spread out into a skirmish line to attack, Spain is the two wings of the cavalry neatly and evenly advanced, before the two teams of cavalry, there is also a guard of honor with the Spanish flag obliquely.

He is different from the traditional Chinese cavalry assault formations such as the Fish Scale Formation and the Sharp Arrow Formation, and he does not push the horse to the fastest speed, making full use of the speed advantage of the war horse, but swaying and swaying, as if he is performing, even if the explosion behind the butt is constantly not affecting them.

The Democratic Alliance army was completely speechless, the pedantic conservatism of the Spanish army was indeed the best in the world, and some people were even anxious for them, secretly shouting at you to rush quickly, are you here to fight, or are you here to die?

Although a number of army regiments were killed, the people who were found from nowhere still played flutes and drums, led the infantry to advance steadily, and the cavalry was still not in a hurry, but fortunately, the small mountain artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army focused on the artillery of the Spaniards, and there was no time to pay attention to the infantry cavalry for the time being, but there was no interference.

Finally, the two teams of cavalry, totaling 5,000 people, marched halfway, and after the honor guard waved the national flag vigorously, they suddenly dispersed and rushed straight away.

On the field by the sea, among the scattered coconut trees, the red and blue cavalry were overwhelming, the scene was spectacular, Zhang Tianxi secretly counted the distance, and after putting most of the cavalry into the range of the mortar, he shouted: "Release!" ”

Each division was equipped with 243 mortars as standard, and suddenly, 243 black dots rose into the sky and fell again, and one after another flames bloomed among the cavalry.

"Ahh The cavalry was screaming incessantly, and piles of horses fell to the ground, but the Spaniards were inspired by chivalry, and no one retreated, and the remaining cavalry still rushed forward in the midst of dense mortar shells.

After the first few frigates were sunk, the numerical superiority of the NLD fleet became more and more obvious, and the shells were fired more and more intensively at the Spanish warships, and while the mortars hit the Spanish cavalry, three more frigates were sunk.

"Infantry ready!" Zhang Tianxi glanced at the sea and beckoned.

The infantry was in groups of three or five, aiming their guns at the cavalry, and the cavalry rushed into the firing range, and then the gunfire was loud, and a dense rain of bullets poured out.

It takes an average of five seconds for a skilled soldier to load five bullets with a five-four rifle, and when shooting, the bolt must be pulled out of the cartridge case for each shot, which takes one second, that is, five bullets can be fired every ten seconds, and one minute is thirty rounds, which is nearly ten times higher than the rate of fire of the Mini gun, and with the fierce blow of the mortar, the cavalry team quickly shrinks at a speed visible to the naked eye until it all disappears.

That's right, it's the annihilation of the whole army, because the Spaniards have chivalry and would rather die than run, although the cavalry spirit allows surrender, but there is no chance of surrender.

"Artillery, fight the Spanish infantry with all your might!" Zhang Tianxi looked forward, the Spanish artillery positions had been beaten in pieces, and there was hardly a neatly arranged artillery piece in sight, and the order was issued again.

The artillery adjusted the angle one after another, shooting shells into the infantry formation, each shell, can take dozens of lives, but the Spaniards are worthy of chivalry, deaf to the fall of their comrades one after another, and still move forward steadily, which looks very strange.

Staff Officer Li couldn't help but say: "The commander-in-chief once said that a hundred years ago, when the Western armies fired at each other in a linear formation, the casualty rate reached 50 percent and the formation would not collapse, I didn't believe it at first, but today I believe it, looking at the Spaniards who are constantly dying and mechanically old-fashioned, I don't know whether to despise them, or to admire, alas~~"

Staff Officer Li's expression was extremely complicated, and he shook his head as he looked at the miserable appearance on the other side. (To be continued......)
