"Santiago!"

"Long live the King!"

……

Without the constant bombardment of shells from behind, the combat effectiveness of the Spanish infantry, as the Spanish commander thought, burst out with greater enthusiasm!

Although the American Field Army has undergone strict training of the infantry on the European line, it has not really been on the battlefield after all, and in the face of the Spanish infantry who charged to the death, it gradually showed its decline, although the battle of the Spanish artillery position quickly ended in the complete victory of the Han Guard, but these dozens of minutes of gap were enough for the Spanish infantry to repel the American Field Army!

The decline of the American Field Army further inspired the Spanish infantry to fight, fiercely pursuing the American Field Army and fighting and retreating, Zhao Dutian knew that it would not be long before these highly-anticipated American Field Army would completely collapse!

At this time, even if Zhao Dutian transferred those American Self-Defense Forces who had just been defeated and returned not long ago, it would not be of much use, there were too many casualties in the previous defeat, and many Indian soldiers were still in a state of trance......

This is already good, after all, Indians rarely see this kind of battlefield with guns and cannons firing volleys, and it is normal for people to have a mental breakdown or something......

However, Zhao Dutian still has the last reserve, well, it should be said that it is Zhao Dutian's own escort team, nearly a thousand Han guards!

Zhao Dutian knew that at this time, even if the artillery positions captured in the rear opened fire again, the sporadic lethality would not be able to stop the Spanish infantry line that had already gained superiority, so he had to teach them an impressive lesson!

Zhao Dutian's escort was transferred to his own artillery position, and these Han Guards who were constantly moving forward were in stark contrast to the retreating American Field Army!

"All of them are replaced with grapeshot shells and ready to fire a salvo!"

Under the shouts of the herald, their artillery stopped firing and began to busily reload to meet the Spanish infantry who were about to hit the artillery position!

After the Spanish commander saw the action of the Han Empire's artillery to reload ammunition, he hurriedly ordered the heralds around him: "Hurry! Hurry up and stop the infantry from continuing the attack, the enemy is preparing shotguns! ”

The commander in a high place can naturally see the overall situation and make timely judgments, but the soldiers in the battlefield cannot see what the artillery positions behind the crowd are doing!

Moreover, in this era, there is no radio, and there is no grass-roots command accurate to the company and platoon level, and it is not easy for the army that charges up in hand-to-hand combat, so it is not easy to make them stop and turn around!

Especially when your side is in an advantageous position, those red-eyed soldiers will not be stopped by a belated herald!

The drawbacks of warfare in this era, the lag in conveying orders!

Zhao Dutian looked at the Spanish infantry who were gradually approaching the melee with his own American Field Army, and shouted: "Open the artillery!" ”

"Your Majesty, there are quite a few of our people ahead......"

"Major, my order is to fire! Do you need me to repeat it again?! ”

The artillery officer no longer hesitated, turned around and ran to the artillery position to give the order!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

Patches of shotguns were sprayed out, enveloping a small number of American Field Army and a large number of Spanish infantry, creating a large blank area!

Subsequently, the Han Guards, who had already been aiming, fired a standard 3-column salvo!

The Spanish infantry, which was charging violently, was suddenly knocked down again, and those Spanish infantry who charged bravely fell to the ground trembling, dripping bright red blood under them!

"The Great Han Guard! Get on the bayonet! Charge! ”

The opening of the cannon was a signal for an attack on all fronts, and after the salvo, the small number of Han Guards, under the orders of the officer, fearlessly rushed towards the Spanish infantry, who were far outnumbered by themselves, but were stunned by the concentrated fire!

"Long live the Han Empire!"

"Kill!"

……

A close-range shotgun salvo, coupled with a 3-column salvo of muskets and a bayonet charge, is an almost inexplicable existence in this era, no matter how stoic the willpower of the troops, they cannot resist this instantaneous firepower output, and are crushed by the bayonet charge that follows!

Faced with this situation, the commander's best thing to do is to send a new reserve force to re-form a line of defense in the rear, to receive the temporarily routed friendly forces, and snipe the enemy troops who are charging with bayonets!

It's a pity that the current Spanish commander, except for dozens of officers and guards around him, can't be transferred alone......

When the Han Guards defeated the Spanish infantry who were stunned by the salvo, the Indians who were reorganized by Zhao Dutian were also sent out.

Bullying the soft and fearing the hard is very simple for the Indians!

The Spanish commander looked at the Spanish infantry, whose last morale had been completely shattered, stepped on his mount in panic, and ordered loudly: "Retreat, the whole army retreat!" ”

It's a pity that the few cavalry units of the Spanish crusade army were exhausted long ago, and most of the people who retreated with him were two-legged, and it seems that there are not many people who can keep up with this Spanish general......

The Spanish commander knew that this crushing defeat would inevitably lead him to a court-martial, but that was better than his life, especially at the hands of the barbaric Indians!

Those Indians don't pay attention to the rules of European warfare, and they torture and kill prisoners, so there should be no pressure on them, just like the Spaniards killed Indian prisoners without any mental burden......

The addition of Indian soldiers made the rout of the Spanish infantry more complete, this is the disadvantage of not having reserves, when all the troops are put into the battlefield, the war is about to end, because any point of defeat will expand indefinitely, and the commander without reserves can often only look at the situation of defeat and helplessness!

"Everyone, stop playing with cannons, pick up your weapons and follow the brothers in front to kill the enemy!" Zhao Xin excitedly urged his soldiers, and took his own weapons, and ran in the direction of the Spaniards, now there is no need for formation, what is needed is the speed of running, and the endurance of long-distance running!

Zhao Dutian looked at the defeated Spanish infantry on the whole line, and said to the herald beside him: "Tell the troops pursuing on the front line, don't let go of a Spaniard!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

The Spanish commander expected it well, Zhao Dutian did not mean to let them go, he would rather his soldiers run and break their legs, but also destroy all the invading Spaniards!

Zhao Dutian, who gave the order, looked at the artillery that was being cooled down, and thought to himself, sure enough, the artillery is powerful!
