Chapter 47: On the Offensive

"Well done, kill three birds with one stone, you guys did a good job!" Zhao Dutian praised the artillerymen who operated the 3-pounder field guns with a happy face, and the opposite side could kill 3 people at once without discharging a dense phalanx, and there was a wounded person along the way, and the professional ability of these gunners was absolutely passable!

Those gunners heard the praise of their boss, and they worked harder, and the efficiency of the gunners who cleaned the chamber and reloaded the ammunition was improved a little bit......

As the sparkling arquebus was inserted into the fire door of the field gun, the 3-pounder gun shook backwards, and an iron bullet roared towards the Spanish infantry group that was charging here......

Zhao Dutian watched the people on the opposite side gradually approach, and after giving an order to keep the fire, he came to the middle of the infantry hidden behind the tree, his eyes staring at the distance between the opposite charging team and his side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The charging Cocopa and Spaniards could naturally see heads poking out of the woods, but they didn't think that in central California, there would be anyone to stop them and others from attacking!

When the opponent approached a distance of 30 meters, Zhao Dutian drew his sword and pointed diagonally at the charging enemy and shouted: "Prepare ~~~"

The line infantry around him shouted to prepare and spread the order to the entire team!

The Spaniards and Cocopa who were charging suddenly saw hundreds of gun barrels sticking out of the woods!

Major Torasleya, who was following in the center of the charge, instantly widened his eyes and shouted, "Stop!" Give me a stop, a line, a line!! ”

Zhao Dutian waved his long sword and shouted, "Fire!! ”

As the line infantry beside Zhao Dutian pulled the trigger, the soldiers in the distance also pulled the trigger when they heard the gunshot, and for a while, the gunshots became one!

The Cocopa and Spanish infantrymen who rushed to the front row were directly hit by the large lead bullet and fell backwards, as if they were knocked away, and many people even crashed into their teammates behind them under the kinetic energy of the lead bullet!

The Spaniards and Cocopa charged like wheat harvesters, and they were swept down in large swaths!

The distance of firing was too close, Zhao Dutian shouted from the other party to enter 30 meters, and when he really fired, the Spaniards and Cocopa people who ran and charged had even rushed to a distance of more than 10 meters!

Within seconds of the musket salvo, the only 3-pounder cannon ready for grapeballs fired a killing weapon!

The Spaniard's charge was once again wiped out......

Major Toraslea was already stunned, and the Spanish infantry were also stunned, and the visual impact of kneeling down in an instant completely crushed the courage of these Spanish colonial troops!

And the reaction of the Kocopa people was even more crisp, and the living people directly screamed and turned around and ran away......

Zhao Dutian then shouted: "Get on the bayonet, charge!" ”

The line infantry who heard it next to him also shouted: "Get on the bayonet, charge!" ”

A shout of charging spread throughout the whole army, and these Han tribe line infantry wearing black military uniforms and boat-shaped hats, which was not much different from the clothing of the Spanish infantry, directly defeated the frightened Spanish infantry with bayonets!

Major Torasleya could not stop the demoralized Spanish infantry from holding the line, and the only thing he could do was to run with the rout......

The Spanish infantry of the brigade was caught up by the Han army in black uniform, and they were killed with bayonets, or they surrendered to their knees to save their lives!

Colonel Elance soon learned of the defeat of Major Torasroya's forces and Kokopa's allies, but the defeat of Major Toraslya did not represent the defeat of the entire Spanish army!

Colonel Alance had already organized his men and horses, lined up in a neat line, and stood in the way of the pursuit of the Han tribesmen's army with bayonets and flintlock pistols!

The Spanish infantry, lined up, raised their muskets and aimed at the front, and the scattered routs could retreat to the rear through the gaps between each horizontal line, and if the Han army dared to follow these routs and rush up, they would be greeted by a dense volley of muskets!

Zhao Dutian naturally knew the pattern of modern firearms warfare, and after he saw the Spaniards lining up in a neat musket queue, he ordered the pursuit to be stopped, and organized men and horses to re-list the horizontal phalanx that was conducive to musket salvos!

Colonel Alance looked in disbelief at the army on the other side wearing black uniforms, which was indistinguishable from his own infantry, and if it weren't for the iconic tease eagle with the battle flag holding a tree branch, he would not have dared to connect the army of the Han tribe among the Indian tribes with this army that was no different from the European countries......

Well, the Spaniards have never looked carefully at the military flag of the Han tribe, so they have always mistakenly thought that it was an eagle holding a branch, not a pigeon holding an olive branch......

Of course, Zhao Dutian planned to make a pigeon battle flag after he had a better tailor, but recently, he was busy with military expansion, and the battle flag naturally fell, and he still used the rough battle flag before......

The Spaniards were not as rigid as the English, and they dared to walk with musket volleys without changing their faces, and they preferred to be the defenders, shooting them with muskets when they walked in unison on the opposite side!

However, Zhao Dutian didn't seem to be trying his line infantry to resist several rounds of salvos like the British lobster soldiers, and he transferred his 3-pounder gun......

Colonel Alan looked at the field cannon speechlessly, could this Han tribe say that it had entered the era of the industrial revolution?

Nima, Lao Tzu is not facing backward barbarian tribes at all, but a fierce opponent with the same weapons as the European countries!

It's really a dog, I knew that I was going to fight a real war, even if the logistical pressure was great, I would come with artillery!

Colonel Alance was left with regret and shock in his heart......

"Bombard me at the infantry column on the opposite side, as fast as you can!" Zhao Dutian ordered the artillery.

"Yes, my lord!"

Rumble!

An iron bullet missed......

Rumble!

An iron bullet missed......

Zhao Dutian glared at the artilleryman with an ugly face, he was quite accurate just now, why can't he hit anyone now?

The artilleryman saw that Zhao Dutian's face was not good, and hurriedly explained: "It was a test firing just now, and it will definitely be hit in the next round!" ”

Rumble!

Finally into the Spanish infantry column!

It's not easy, because the fourth shell is crooked again......

The breech guns of this era are really cheating daddy!

Although the hit rate of the cannon on the opposite side belonged to the level of looking at the face, the iron bullet that entered the infantry line and swept down a piece greatly hit the morale of the Spanish infantry!
