The Spaniards, under the command of Baptista, turned on the artillery for the first time and launched an artillery bombardment towards the position of the Ming army, dozens of artillery pieces lined up in a row, and the shells smashed into the position of the Ming army like flying locusts, under the cover of a burst of smoke and dust, the Spanish cavalry began a frantic attack!

On the other side, Tan Guilin had a hint of coldness on his face and shouted: "Order, the artillery will return fire!" Get past the cavalry and go straight to the positions of the Spanish army! ”

This is Tan Guilin's confidence, compared with the equipment of the Spanish general solid bullet and half of the flowering shell, the hundreds of artillery pieces equipped by the Tianxiong Army are all flowering guns, and the firing range is farther than the artillery of the Spanish army, as for the power, the two sides first entered the artillery battle, and the shells continued to rage on each other's positions.

Baptista's Spanish army position was blown up to the flames, Baptista couldn't help coughing, he didn't expect that the artillery of the Ming army had such great power, once upon a time, from decades ago, the firearms of the Ming Empire were purchased from the West, they were all second-class goods eliminated from the West, I didn't expect that today, the artillery used by the Ming army is even more powerful than the main artillery of the Spanish army!

"Bastard! These yellow-skinned monkeys' firearms have become so powerful! ”

Baptista roared angrily, but there was still a trace of joy in his heart, the generals of the Ming army on the opposite side were not very dripping, all the artillery fire ignored the Spanish cavalry that was charging in front, and only aimed at the Spanish position in the distance to bombard, once the cavalry broke into their own attack range and charged with all their might, the Ming army would definitely not be able to withstand the strong impact of the cavalry!

Not only Baptista, but several of his generals also thought so!

"General, although the artillery fire of the Ming army is fierce, our cavalry is approaching their position, as long as they rush up, no matter how much artillery they have, they will be killed by the cavalry!"

Chief of Staff Bynes said in a deep voice.

"I hope so......"

Baptista prayed to God in the hope that the cavalry would make a comeback.

However, things turned out not to be his wish!

When it was less than a mile away from the forward position of the Ming army, the cavalry commander Bazin brazenly ordered, all the cavalry charged, the speed of the cavalry suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the Ming army's position.

The distance of one mile, for the cavalry, especially the elite cavalry, is a matter of a few blinks of the eyes, and the Spanish cavalry roared!

"Rocket battalion ready, launch!"

Tan Guilin was waiting for this moment, the flowering cannon was not even used, and the rockets were used directly, which made the lethality of the cavalry even stronger!

Two rocket battalions, a total of eighty rocketeers, almost half tailored for the cavalry, Tan Guilin gave an order, one rocket after another let out a terrible roar, and hit the Spanish cavalry in front of him, the huge tail flame was chilling!

In the distance, Baptista was shocked and said, "What kind of weapon is this?" ”

Baines on the side said in a deep voice: "General, this is the flame bomb of the Ming army, the range is three miles away, however, I heard that these rockets are equipped on battleships, when fighting with the Dongying fleet, this firearm is not small, specially used to set fire, as long as it is stained by him, it will immediately cause a fire, and many warships have been destroyed by these rockets!" ”

Fire?

Baptista's heart sank, war horses are different from people, although people are afraid of fire, but they can suppress the fear in their hearts, well-trained soldiers will not be intimidated by the flames of war, but war horses are different, fear of flames is the natural instinct of animals, this time the cavalry is going to be in trouble......

Sure enough!

One rocket after another is fired out of a desperate way, this speed is much faster than artillery, the artillery only has one shell in two minutes, two waves of artillery bombardment, it will be close to five minutes, but the rocket can be fired in less than a minute, the first wave of rockets smashed into the cavalry array, and then the second wave of rockets arrived, two rocket battalions, eighty rockets, divided into four waves, forming an endless offensive!

The huge tail flame skipped the array of the cavalry, and before it landed, the rocket had burned a lot of cavalry with the tail flame, and even the war horses were burned, and the war horses let out an amazing howl, and then the rocket fell to the ground, touching the gunpowder department, and an explosion occurred, although it was far from the power of the flowering bomb, but it was scary enough, on the field, it was covered by flames in an instant, and the Spanish cavalry turned on their backs, and even Bazin's hair was scorched by the rocket tail flame, and he was embarrassed!

"Damn bastards, keep the assault and get ready to shoot!"

After a wave of impact, the current cavalry is less than three hundred steps away from the Ming infantry, and the flintlock muskets equipped by the cavalry are enough to cover the front line of the Ming army!

Bang bang bang!

The Spanish cavalry began to shoot frantically, but compared to the power of the rocket, the power of the flintlock musket was much more inserted, and the man on the war horse wanted to reload the bullet, but it was not so convenient, and the rate of fire of the musket naturally could not be compared with the infantry.

The Spanish cavalry began to shoot, almost at the same time, the infantry battalion protecting the artillery position also began to shoot, the Spanish were only two thousand people, but the infantry in the forward position of the Ming army had already hit six thousand people, all of them were flintlock muskets, even if these infantry had not been reloaded into rear-loading firing rifles, but the current flintlock muskets have been improved many times, and the power is more powerful than the Spanish flintlock muskets!

The bullets were overwhelming, coupled with the raging rockets, the Spanish cavalry had not yet broken into the front of the Ming army, and they had already felt the pressure of Mount Tai's pressure, and the pressure was heavy, and it was too difficult to rush to the position of the Ming army, too difficult, too difficult!

"Command, keep charging!"

Bazin was still unwilling to give up, after all, he was only a hundred and ten paces away from the Ming army's position, and he could attack the Ming army's position with a wave of impact!

As everyone knows, the closer the cavalry is to the Ming army's position, the more powerful the Ming army's firepower is, and the front of the Tianxiong army's position, bullets raining down, constantly rushing towards the Spanish cavalry, after all, the Spanish cavalry still can't withstand the huge pressure!

In just a few minutes, the Ming army inflicted more than 400 casualties on the Spanish cavalry, one blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion, and now the morale of the Spanish cavalry has reached the verge of exhaustion!

"Withdraw!"

The Spanish cavalry retreated to the rear like a frenzy!
