Chapter 171. Just this brutal war

"Long live the Spanish Empire!"

The shouts of the wind suddenly came out of the mouths of the sailors and townsmen, each of whom had a frenzy on their faces, and this kind of team spirit was exactly what was needed in the troops, to dispel fear and panic, to raise the morale of the soldiers, and at the same time to make the enemy on the opposite side feel palpitations and incomprehension.

The thieves of the Ketuf River, who had gradually come to the area of Cape Town, also had a gloomy face, and looked at the clearing of the hill in front of them one by one, a group of people stood in formation, obviously waiting for them, and even made cheering sounds, and they gradually put away the cruel smiles on their faces, because they had a feeling of being insulted, and felt like monkeys!

The cheer was a sign of confidence and affirmation, not a cheer for those who were close to them, for at the sound of the cheer, the three hundred Spanish sailors were also carrying their flintlock pistols and quickly began to disperse in both directions, and they were like a slender line, even in the face of more enemies than themselves, there were still only two rows of people standing in a row, looking at the thieves of the Ketuv River who were walking out of the river beach with excitement on their faces.

They are like guests who have been waiting for a long time, the excitement when they see their favorite food finally served, the unhurried mood is even a little relaxed like an outing, even if they are lined up in two thin rows, it seems that they have eaten the enemy in front of them.

In 1700, the Spanish Empire had entered a stage of decline, which is not an unspeakable secret, but looking at the Spanish kings who reigned during this time on the earth, the mentally handicapped child can only know that the invincible glory of the Spanish Empire has long since disappeared with the flow of time.

This is all caused by those incompetent kings, those nobles who only know how to embezzle and embezzle, the civilians of the Spanish Empire are still full of vitality, and the soldiers of the Spanish Empire are still willing to stand up for the country, because they all have the glorious empire that was once invincible in their hearts, not the Spain that began in 1700 and was ruled by those bureaucrats and retarded kings, the empire that gradually made people mourn and decline!

"In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are our enemies, a group of infidels who do not believe in God!"

Hall slowly moved forward, he reached out and took the Spanish flag in the hand of the guard next to Levi, stood behind Levi like a standard-bearer, held the flag high, looked up at the flag that was fluttering with the sea breeze, puffed out his chest and said loudly, as if taking an oath: "The bell of heaven is ringing in our ears, and the glory from God has become our king on this earth, and we will finally die and ascend to heaven after death." ”

"The rivers of honey and cream, the earth full of gold and treasures, the paradise free from suffering and hunger, belong to the glory that God has given us!"

The sound of the uninterrupted but equally unison, oath-like sound still sounded, and the faces of the sailors and citizens were solemn, looking at the flag held high by Nahall, and their originally exuberant spirits finally calmed down with their voices.

Levi slowly turned his head to look at his group of sailors and citizens, and his face was also a little confident, because they all looked ready for war, and this group of devout Catholics were also mentally prepared for death.

The power of religion on the earth in modern times is still strong, not to mention the Spanish Empire, which claims to be a crusader state, and they teach their citizens to be devout to God, loyal to the king, and cruel to the invading enemy like gunpowder, especially in times of war, in the face of any pagan who does not believe in God, their instinct to judge heresy will awaken.

It has to be said that this is a good thing, religion can at least boost morale and stabilize people's hearts before the war, and Levi understands that the current Catholicism has been domesticated as a state religion by the previous kings of the Spanish Empire, and there is no absolute right like the Holy See in the Middle Ages, and it will not have the slightest impact on the authority of the monarch.

"Let's go to war."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Levi's eyes were still full of firmness and confidence, looking at the more and more Ketufu River thieves who appeared in front of him, he took a deep breath and had already held his scimitar tightly, and there was only a piece of determination in his heart.

Since the water thieves on the opposite side want to finish Cape Town in a wave, then he took this opportunity to let his Cape Town completely enter the footsteps of take-off, a group of medieval rabble, only worthy of his shoes, and only worthy of his empire in the rapid development, as an initial stepping stone!

The Spanish sailors had already finished their formation, and three hundred men were lined up in a thin line, which in the traditional thinking of the Middle Ages, such a thin battle line was suicide, because as long as hand-to-hand combat occurred after contact, the line of only two men would be broken in an instant, causing the entire line of defense to tear apart, causing an incredible rout.

Even with more than 400 people behind as cover, the faces of the thieves of the Ketufu River were already full of hideousness, especially when they looked at the thin two rows of lines, and they all felt the need to laugh out loud.

Even those few hundred commanders, who were the real commanders, felt that they were really very lucky, and they had encountered unbelievably stupid guys, and they actually put their troops in such a front that could be easily torn apart by a single charge, and they felt that if they led their troops forward quickly, these stupid guys would collapse on their own, and they would be captured if they didn't even dare to resist!

And they did just that, as they quickly lined up in a dense array on the river beach, the centurions were also satisfied to see that after their short training, they were finally able to line up the water thieves who looked much neater, and they also launched the signal to attack.

"Let that group of guys know that they have provoked our Ketuf River thieves!"

Slowly spit thick phlegm to the side, the hundred-man long face was already hideous, the scimitar in his hand had already drawn out the scabbard, glanced at Kit, who was silent on the side, the cruel smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more high, and he roared loudly: "The order of the swamp baron, everything we have robbed, all belong to us, if you can grab it, it will be yours!" ”

"Kill those bitches!"

The group of water thieves had already laughed and walked forward quickly, but in this way, their originally untidy queue was shaking more and more, and even looked a little messy, there were not many phalanxes at all, which made the group of water thieves feel quite uncomfortable!

The role of the phalanx is to form a whole, and quickly supplement and increase the number of personnel within a certain range to form combat effectiveness, but this is the time to practice, if the phalanx is not practiced well, it will become a kind of fetter to bind the combat personnel, especially a group of water thieves gathered like a rabble, and they sneered at this so-called phalanx, if it wasn't for the swamp baron asking them to practice, they wouldn't have estimated their companions at all.

Victory, rush forward, with a bloody and ferocious nature, cut down the enemy, crush the enemy's formation, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue. But if you encounter a tough enemy, then quickly retreat and hide in a place where the group of enemies can't catch up with you.

These are the tactics of the water thieves, simple, practical and ridiculous, they are quite effective against the group of civilian merchant ships and mercenaries, but they never thought that if it were not for the help of mysterious forces, they would use this tactic against the already extremely rotten river patrol team, and they were all pressed to the mouth of the swamp by the pot-bellied river patrol officers and hanged, and even if the swamp itself was breached, they would all be hung on the gallows and hanged!

"They're really lagging behind."

Hall exhaled slowly, he was still holding the Spanish flag above his head, but he stood beside Levi, watching the group of water thieves slowly pressing over, and there was a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth: "A group of backward barbarians." ”

"Our gunners are going to laugh." The corners of Levi's mouth also brought a mocking smile, because the eight 7-pounder guns that had already prepared the brazier and iron tongs had already pointed the muzzle of the black hole in front of the fixed gun mount, and one by one the round solid iron balls were sent in, and the truncated fire rope at the fire door had also extended to the side of the red fire tongs, and it could be ignited directly while waiting for Levi's order.

But the modern combat system is definitely not like the Middle Ages, fighting in a mess, slowly raising his scimitar, and Levi's voice has already appeared in the ears of the Spanish sailors, clear and loud: "Everyone prepare." ”

"Gun on the shoulder, aim."

The brief order had already appeared in everyone's ears, and just as Levi was staring at the distance in front of him as the Cuttuf River thief was getting closer and closer, his eyes slowly swept over the fort next to him, and he seemed to see Wilmot also looking at his face, but the scimitar in his hand also swung down fiercely, and the scimitar also slashed heavily in front of him, as if his voice appeared in everyone's ears like a thunderbolt: "Fire!" ”

"Fire!"

Wilmot's order was also given on the hill battery, and it was the same order for the bronze falcon cannons that had been prepared, and for the Spanish sailors stationed on the battery, for their first shot was not directed at the warships still docked in the distance of the Yuqiao River, but at the dense piles of the traditional dense phalanxes on the river beach, and were beginning to charge and run towards this side, the Ketuv River bandits!
