Recommended history strong book "Dream of Wandering the War World: Chasing the World" ISBN 25346 is about to be published, overhead boutique recommended to break the big book "Agents of the Great Powers" ISBN 26684 The story of the modern man who traveled to the end of the Qing Dynasty to transform China The barracks of the Spanish Army stationed in Penghu were blown up by the amphibious team led by Yang Nanzhen with explosives, and countless soldiers died, with complete hands and feet, and only two or three hundred people were left who could fight, but the fighting spirit of the Spaniards should not be underestimated, and these remnants were still lined up in a neat queue, Drive to the shore to block the landing of the Ming army

The Spanish battle formation was lined up in a square, the four corners were protected by spearmen, first a column of sword and shield soldiers with iron shields, and the cavalry were alone on one side of the battle formation, seeing most of the Ming army on the beach, a yellow and red, embroidered badge under the flag, the Spanish general with several feathers on his head drew his sword and shouted in a hurried tone, and then the sword and shield soldiers in the first row squatted, and the crossbowmen in the back row picked up the iron crossbow and fired, a bow sounded, the sound of breaking the air was endless, and the landing Ming army was caught off guard and was shot down. The Spaniards' bows and crossbows shot not only feather arrows, but also stone balls that were slightly smaller than the ping-pong balls, aiming at the heads of the Ming army, so the cotton armor and paper armor on their bodies were not a problem, but although the Spaniards' bows and crossbows were strong, it took a lot of effort to wind them again, and they all had to be turned hard with manual winch

Taking advantage of the time when the Spaniards were resting, the Ming army quickly lined up under the order of Wu Sangui, with wooden shields in front and guards in the back, standing in a row, raising their guns according to the command, aiming, and then shooting

The power of the black powder as a propellant could not penetrate the iron shield of the Spaniards, but the subsequent scattering of bows and arrows could hit the soldiers behind the shields

The follow-up Ming army was still coming down from the flat-bottomed boats in a steady stream, and the crossbows were also loaded on the cowhide raft and transported over, and the Spanish general shouted something again, and then more than 30 cavalrymen rushed over without hesitation, and the hooves of the Western horses raised a cloud of dust and mist on the beach, and Wu Sangui, who was accustomed to seeing the Tartar iron cavalry charging in clusters, certainly did not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, he still admired the fearless spirit of Spain

"Musketeer, load, raise gun, aim, release!" The well-trained musketeers did not even look at the dozens of poor cavalrymen rushing over, and concentrated on fiddling with the long guns in their hands, clearing their chambers, charging and reloading, pulling the hammers, raising their guns and aiming, until the cavalrymen were about to rush to the first column of long-card soldiers, and then they shot together

There was a shout of neighing, and the buckshot easily tore through the spaniards' plate armor at such a close distance, and tore the brave knights off their horses, and the long players pounced with their short knives, and quickly wiped the wounded cavalry from their horses, and the vain cavalry charge of the Spaniards ended without success

But the Spaniards were unmoved, the infantry formation was still tight, the wave of cavalry charge just now bought them time after all, the bow and crossbow had been prepared again, the sword and shield soldiers crouched down again, and let the crossbowmen behind them fire crossbow arrows and stone pills, but this time the Ming army was already on guard, the long card iron shield was in front of the advance, and the archers held the Zhuge crossbow while walking and shooting up to the sky, so that the arrows fell in the Spanish formation to cause a harassing effect, and the Spanish battle formation also began to move forward, and the formation changed rapidly, The spearmen shifted to the first row, slowly lowering their spears as they went, advancing side-on

The two-zhang long spear is very heavy, and the average arm strength of the person can't move at all, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Spaniards is extraordinary, but this tactic has no effect on the Ming army with the red shirt regiment as the core backbone, because they have long had a similar gun formation, and Anthony made the spear even prosperous back then, and in the end it was not replaced by the long gun

The best weapon to deal with the determined infantry policy is the machine gun, at this time the landing of the Ming army are all lightly armed troops, the heaviest weapon is the pedal crossbow on the raft, the crossbow has just arrived at the beach, before it has time to unload from the raft to fire, the child's arm-thick arrow tore a big hole in the Spanish formation, the Spaniards who were disrupted simply did not set up a formation, dropped their spears and pulled out their swords and rushed straight over

The Spaniards are wise, the two-zhang long spear is only suitable for battle formations, and the hand-to-hand combat is not as good as a dagger, anyway, the distance is not too far, just pounce on the hand-to-hand combat, they waved slender swords and moderately long halberds and rushed over with shouts, and the Ming army also dropped their long-barreled bows and crossbows, drew their sabers and met them

Except for Zheng Jiajun, most of them are fighting hand-to-hand with the Xiyi people for the first time, and the other party's different appearances, alternative armor and strange weapons give them a great sense of freshness

There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle, the three hundred Spanish Army were wiped out, and no one ran away, even the general with a feather on his head died on the beach, and before he died, he killed two soldiers of the Zhejiang Naval Division

"When you clean up the battlefield, bury them," Mr. Wu said

In the end, it was not the turn of the warship to play, the Spaniards raised the white flag, the Spanish army at the Penghu base was mainly the navy, supplemented by the army and the defenders of the fortress, the warship was trapped in the port, this battle could not be fought, the sailors on the warship also wanted to move the ship's weapons to the shore for the fight of the trapped beasts, But when they saw the airships and hot air balloons in the sky, their fighting spirit finally collapsed, the enemy was in the sky, they were on the ground, and all their actions were clearly seen by others, and this battle was still a fart

The Penghu Islands were recovered by the Ming army, and after the mines in the harbor were fished up, the warships of the Southern Expeditionary Fleet penetrated into the harbor and transported infantry and supplies onto the trestle, and the Spanish sailors disembarked from the ships with white flags, walked out of the fortress, and gathered in the freight yard near the dock under the escort of the Ming army

Liu Ziguang, who was wearing rhinoceros leather armor, dragged a long black cloak, and boarded the dock under the crowd of the generals holding the moon like the stars, and the soldiers found a clean place, and moved Liu Dashuai's rattan chair with tiger skin, and eight large flags were lined up behind the chair, among which was a three-zhang high Daxu, which said "Daming Southeast Governor Liu" Each word has a drum as big, the flagpole should be supported by two people, and there were two rows of pacesetters standing next to it, each of whom was a big man of more than one meter eight, holding a long gun in his hand. With leather gunpowder magazines and saber stabs hanging from their waists, they were majestic and murderous, and the Zheng Zhilong brothers, Shi Lang and other Zhejiang army generals, as well as Liu Ziguang's descendants, were all standing on both sides, waiting for the soldiers to escort the Spanish captives up

Although Penghu was small, the Spaniards still set up a governor named Juan. Santos, with a beautiful mustache, wore a black top hat with three feathers of different colors on it, and a red and yellow ribbon on his black tweed jacket, and the other Spanish officers put their hats or helmets in the crooks of their arms, followed behind dejectedly, and slowly walked towards Liu Ziguang

Spain belongs to the Latins, the figure is not tall, the hair and beard are also black, but the skin is fair, the eye sockets are deep, the clothing is weird, and there is nothing else outstanding

Juan. Governor Santos had a calm face, neither humble nor arrogant, walked to Liu Ziguang and took off his big hat to cover his heart and bowed, and then said something quickly, which translated: Spain and the Ming Kingdom have always been good neighbors and friendly countries, Penghu was taken by the Spaniards from the pirates, why did the Ming Kingdom not declare war and capture Penghu, so that hundreds of Spanish soldiers were sacrificed, and he asked His Excellency the Marshal of the Ming Kingdom to give him a satisfactory answer

Originally, Liu Ziguang thought that these people had surrendered, and they had been asking for explanations for a long time, so he couldn't help but be furious, patted the armrest of the chair and said: "You are a small country in Fanbang, which is in the extreme west, how can you say that you are good neighbors with the Ming Dynasty?" Penghu and Taiwan have been the sacred territory of our Celestial Empire since ancient times, and no force can occupy it. ”

The general clerk translated Liu Ziguang's words in the original form. Governor Santos shrugged his shoulders and said a bunch of things to the effect that I have nothing to say since you have said this, but I hope that you will give me and my men a decent treatment, that the officers and soldiers will be divided and that they will be provided with plenty of fish and cheese for their daily meals, and preferably wine, and finally that Our Lady will bless you and give you good luck in your future battles with the Royal Spanish Army."

"There are no doors! You tell him to take his men to the dock to carry things for me, and the soldiers and officers will be treated like officers, there is no fish, meat and cheese, and rice mixed with sand will not be full," Liu Ziguang looked at the arrogant governor with disdain, and said

The Spaniards expressed a strong protest against this unfair treatment, but they did not dare to say anything under the coercion of knives and guns, so they could only obediently go to the dock to work as coolies

"Penghu has been decided, the next step will be to take the Luermen Waterway and attack Chichi, I don't know what the big commander wants?" Zheng Zhilong said out of class, after seeing Liu Ziguang's strength, he admired it greatly, and now he has honestly put on the uniform of the Ming army, and his words are also a lot more respectful

There is only a waterway of less than 200 miles from Penghu to Chichi, and using Penghu as a transit base to attack Chichi first and then Taipei is the best strategic deployment
