This time, the Spanish army on Corregido Island finally entered the battle, the battery near the west side of Corregido Island bombarded the Galileo Battery, the maximum range was fired, and waves of shells fell on the west side of the Galileo Battery, just on the road of the Ming army's elite cavalry charge, and the ferocious artillery fire cut off the line of the Ming army's elite cavalry charge.

This is something that Xia Wanchun didn't expect, this is still a full three miles away from the west coast, and he didn't expect that all the shells on Corregido Island would hit here!

I have to say that the Westerners have been using artillery for a longer time than the Ming Dynasty, especially the accumulation of artillery technology, which is slightly stronger than the Ming Empire, and now the main technology of the Ming Empire has been upgraded, but there are some shortcomings for the use of artillery technology, for example, the current Spanish artillery position, the Spaniards have been operating Luzon Island for more than 100 years, and the forts on Corregido Island and the Bataan Peninsula have been built for more than 50 years. Set the corresponding shooting data, when the war broke out, only need to adjust the corresponding shooting elements according to the target, you can accurately hit the target, at least can greatly improve the speed and accuracy of shooting, at least now the artillery of the Ming Empire has just begun to popularize, and the application is not as extensive as the Spaniards.

Xia Wanchun's elite cavalry suffered a big loss, under the bombardment of artillery fire, the casualties were not small, and the Spanish army, with the assistance of the defenders of the Galileo battery, really drove the Ming army's elite cavalry back again!

Xia Wanchun faintly regretted that he was a little too big, three thousand elite cavalry, it was not impossible to defeat the Spanish army of the fort, but the price to pay was too great, if you wanted to do it in a short time, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army would be greatly injured, this is the most elite cavalry of the Ming Empire, and it must not be buried like this.

"Hey!"

Xia Wanchun waved his horsewhip fiercely and shouted fiercely: "Order, the cavalry temporarily retreats to rest, and is ready to attack again!" ”

"Lord Xia, slow down!"

The cavalry guerrilla Qi Kai on the side hurriedly said: "My lord, we are about to attack now, our cavalry casualties are too great, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

"So what do you say? If we can't take the Bataan Peninsula quickly, as soon as the sky dawns, Spanish reinforcements will arrive, and we won't have any more time! ”

"My lord, what are you afraid of?"

Qi Kai said urgently: "Now the largest Das battery has fallen into our hands, the main Spanish force is cowering in the Galileo battery, not daring to come out, we only need to send hundreds of elite cavalry to defend the Galileo battery, watch these people, and then mobilize the elite cavalry and special operations battalion to attack other batteries, before dawn can take down all the other batteries, then there will only be one Galileo battery left, can't turn the sky, at least we can't prevent the troops behind us from landing, before dusk tomorrow, at the latest early in the morning after tomorrow, The whole Bataan Peninsula will fall into our hands, and if you want to hurry, you won't be able to reach it, and there is no need to stumble on the Galileo Fort......"

Xia Wanchun suddenly realized, it seems that he is still too young, and he has committed the taboo of impatience, and it is definitely a thankless task to fight the Spanish army in the Galileo Fort, it is better to attack the other three batteries!

"Order, order Xue Guangdu to lead a cavalry battalion to hold the Galileo battery, contain the Spanish army, and the other troops will divide into three ways to attack the other eight batteries, inform Liu Yucheng, and mobilize special forces to assist in the attack!"

Xia Wanchun turned around and began to attack the other eight forts.

Qi Kai is right, now the main force of the Spanish army is all cowering in the Galileo battery, and the artillery of the remaining eight batteries together is only a few hundred, so there is no way to resist the attack of the Tianxiong army's elite cavalry, not to mention the current Tianxiong army's elite cavalry and the strength of the special combat battalion to help.

Before the sky was dark, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army captured eight forts in one go, and now there are ten forts on the Bataan Peninsula, only the Galileo fort is still in the hands of the Spaniards.

Bosque was shocked and angry, but there was nothing he could do to support? Now where is his strength enough to support other batteries, not to mention galloping to help other batteries, I am afraid that just rushed down the battery, it will be killed by the cavalry left behind by the Ming army, there is no geographical advantage, the Spanish army can not compete with the Tianxiong army elite cavalry, the Tianxiong army elite cavalry in Xue Guangdu led the tiger eye, has been staring at the Galileo battery, as long as the Spaniards rush down, they will kill the Spaniards as soon as possible, and then attack the Galileo battery by the way.

The strength of more than 1,000 people, who were pinned down by the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army, could only hold on to the Galileo battery and wait for reinforcements.

Finally, when the sky was showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, the Spanish fleet rushed to the inner side of the Bataan Peninsula, and the Spanish reinforcements began to land.

"Bosque, how's it going?"

Colonel Luke, the general of the reinforcements, asked.

"How? What else? ”

Bosque was about to cry, and replied astringently: "Look for yourself, there are ten batteries on the Bataan Peninsula, and now only this one Galileo battery remains, and the remaining nine batteries are all lost, and more than half of the two or three thousand garrisons are now killed and wounded, and only more than one thousand people remain......"

Luke was shocked and shouted, "What? In just one day, you lost nine batteries? You! Why are you so useless! Once the Bataan Peninsula is lost, then our entire Spanish army will be in danger......"

"Nonsense, doesn't Lao Tzu know?"

Bosque said angrily: "You guys are here quickly, I have sent someone to ask for help since yesterday afternoon, and you are only late now!" You can race against the turtles at any speed! What's more, I'm facing the attack of 3,000 elite cavalry, a fleet and an elite infantry alone, and our war can't withstand even if it's heroic. ”

While Bosque was venting his anger, on the sea, the Second Fleet was once again thinking about attacking the Galileo battery, and hundreds of shells were fired at the Galileo battery!

"I'm dropping God!"

Luke was shocked, the reinforcements he brought were resting in place, such a cannonball came over, and there was nowhere to run!

"Quick, quick, hidden, hidden!"

Luke exclaimed.

One by one, the Spanish soldiers rolled up from the ground, dodged one after another, and one shell after another fell on the fort, and in an instant, the fort was shrouded in flames and smoke, and the Ming army gathered its forces again and began the siege of the Galileo battery!
