Chapter 243 Empiricism in Losing the Car and Protecting the Commander

"Oh my God!"

In the binoculars, Andrew caught several swaying figures, running at an eye-popping speed from the hills behind the ruins towards the back of the mountains.

If they placed their only artillery on the top of that hill and fired a 'fire' by surprise, it would obviously be an effective blow to the landing soldiers who had now completed the assembly on the square, but unfortunately, these natives who ran faster than rabbits, their wisdom had not yet evolved to master this kind of warfare technology, and no matter how good the weapon was, in their hands, it was not much different from a pile of rags.

Andrew smiled sarcastically and moved the lens of the telescope to the place where the figures had disappeared, but the smile on his face froze instantly, and after an unconscious grunt, he shouted loudly with all his might: "Enemy attack!" Left front, bow and arrow! ”

It's a pity that his voice, among the noisy soldiers, was not able to reach far. Moreover, even if the commander in the square, hearing his warning, and loudly ordering their soldiers to make evasive actions, there was not much place in the square where these soldiers could hide, and these soldiers, who were basically all 'colored' musketeers, did not even have a pitiful shield, but could only see a black mass like a swarm of mosquitoes, which grew bigger and bigger in their eyes, and finally, 'exposed' their fierce and sharp arrows, which were splashed in most places in the square.

"Bang bang!" This is a soldier without any goal, blindly shooting in a panic, and almost at the same time as the gunshot, there are many soldiers screaming loudly and screaming!

Thanks to Andrew, Andrew's men quickly hid under the steps behind the landing boat, although there were still many arrows coming in their direction, but because they dodged in time, except for a few unlucky ones who were pierced in the big 'legs' of the buttocks, there was no attrition. But Rao was so, and when they were sure that there were no more arrows flying, they stuck out their heads and saw the situation in the square, and their faces, which had been flushed with excitement, were all white.

The square was littered with falling arrows, including on the ruined roofs, in the masonry, and even on some wooden planks! Those soldiers who fled in all directions after seeing the arrows in the air coming, also became the landing sites of these arrows, of course, these still active landing sites, they were lucky, and those who could never move again, their fanaticism, their dreams, including their lives, were all deprived of these merciless arrows at this moment.

Andrew couldn't imagine how many enemies with bows and arrows were hiding behind that mountain bag, but at this time, it was obvious that it was not the time for him to think about it, and if he didn't destroy the enemies behind the valley, God knew how many more such arrows would be 'shot' from behind the valley.

The ships on the sea obviously saw the situation in the square, and the cannons, which had been quiet for a long time, rang out again, but this time, the shells fell towards the mountain behind the houses, and the commanders of each ship, it seems, at this time, have the same idea: "These natives who dare to inflict casualties on the imperial soldiers must pay the price for their arrogance!" ”

With the sound of cannons, Andrew jumped out, "The enemy is behind the valley in the left front, the doctor goes to treat the wounded, and then tells their commander to let the unwounded soldiers, come with us, and destroy these enemies!" ”

The square was still 'chaotic', the wounded were wailing and groaning, the unwounded were looking for a more suitable hiding spot, and their commanders were generally professional soldiers with enough experience in warfare, and immediately after this first blow, there were people who were trying to find out the enemy's position and counterattack.

The behavior of Andrew and his subordinates was quickly noticed, and the military doctor who came with Andrew's order also made them clear about the current situation in an extreme time, leaving some people behind at the moment to take care of the wounded, and immediately a large number of soldiers ran in the direction of Andrew!

Even if those enemies who 'shoot' arrows take advantage of the geographical advantage and hide in a high place to 'shoot' arrows, according to Andrew's estimate, the distance of these arrows thrown 'shot' is only three or four hundred steps, that is to say, running through this square, at most two hundred steps, they can 'exchange' fire with these enemies, Andrew calculated the distance while running, while staring at the mountain where the figure is infested.

It's here, it's almost there! Andrew felt that the sweat on his forehead seemed to flow into his eyes, which made him can't help but want to wipe it with his sleeve, and at this time, there was a sudden movement in the valley, and a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the valley!

"Bang bang!" Some soldiers couldn't help but shoot at the group of cavalry, but Andrew, who was at the front, quickly judged the trajectory of the group of cavalry, and these cavalry were not coming at them, but were fleeing, fleeing in another direction.

"Don't shoot, leave them alone, let's block the valley!"

Andrew didn't know that there was a saying in the Ming Dynasty, called losing the car to protect the commander, but this kind of trick of using a small force to attract the enemy's attention and cover the main force to escape, he has seen a lot, if he can't even identify this point, he will be a captain in vain! Therefore, he was very decisive in ordering those cavalrymen to ignore them.

"Rush!" The soldiers behind him followed him towards the mouth of the valley, and no one paid any attention to the dozens of cavalry that were gradually moving away, allowing their figures to disappear into the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves.

.....．

"Team up, those people haven't caught up!" The galloping horses, the speed slowly slowed down, in front of a Zhuangzi, this gallop, the horses are a little out of strength, a little slow, let the horse drink some water, recover some, so as not to run away from the horse, this is the common sense that everyone who can ride a horse knows.

"Nope!" Tao Zhen jumped down from his horse: "There is no smoke and dust behind, those people didn't catch up!" ”

"I'll just say it!" The young man who asked was relieved, "I also looked carefully just now, those people don't even have horses, they rely on two 'legs', and they want to catch up with four 'legs', but they don't even have a 'door'!" ”

Click! The sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and the two cavalrymen who searched for Zhuangzi 'revealed' their figures, also jumped off their horses, and led their horses to the well: "There is no one in Zhuangzi, they all withdraw to the city!" It seems that the big guys are not slow with their hands and feet! ”

"Team Zheng, have you seen how many people have been 'up' by those swarms of bees we just released?" The cavalryman was running fast, and he was a little curious, but he ran away after lighting the arquebus and scattering his 'legs', and did not bother to see the results of the battle.

"I didn't see it either!" Tao Zhen looked innocent: "I just remember to run away, for fear of being blocked by those people, you all saw that they were all holding muskets, if they were really blocked, everyone's 'life' would not be their own!" ”

"Yes! It's really dangerous, it's just a little bit of effort! The cavalry felt the same way: "But looking at their angry and corrupt appearance, I'm afraid they can't stand it well, thirty swarms of bees, the arrows that 'shoot' out are black and pressing, but it's a pity, those swarms can't be recovered!" ”

"If you can't get it back, don't worry, that's what the craftsman camp does, and they still have a lot of good things there?" Tao Zhen smiled slightly, and at this time, he was a little more down-to-earth: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it, let's go back to the city and let you talk about it, let the horses finish drinking water, let's go quickly!" ”

The two horses ran quickly from the front, and the group of people suddenly became nervous, and when the horses gradually ran closer, they saw clearly the knight's wind character camp uniform 'color', and everyone was relieved, and the knight on the horse obviously saw them, but he didn't stop, just waved at them, and ran through the Zhuangzi and ran behind them.

"Let's go, it's our scout!"

*****

"My lord, where did this gang of thieves come from, and how many people are there?" This is Zhao Gui asking.

"My lord, let our brothers from the horse camp go first, our feet are fast, and we can rush back tomorrow!" It's just Qiu Shi's loud voice 'door' shouting.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Yu Feng's hands pressed in the air, and suddenly the voice in the hall slowly became quieter.

"The thieves are from the sea, there are gunboats, and most of the thieves are armed with muskets, and when it comes to the way of the thieves, Velasco should know better than me!" Yu Feng cast his eyes on Velasco and said slowly, "The thief is the Franco!" ”

"My lord, my subordinates don't know anything about this!" Feeling the unkind eyes of dozens of colleagues around him, Velasco immediately shouted loudly, this basin, it must not be buckled to his head, this is going to die.

"Knowing that it has nothing to do with you, what are you panicking about?" Yu Feng said lightly: "What do you know about the fleet of the Francis in Luzon, and what do we all don't know?" ”

"These thieves, from Luzon?" Velasco swallowed a little hard and asked, a little confused.

"There are four gunboats that occupy our port, and the number of thieves who came ashore is about nearly a thousand, and these soldiers are very powerful, and the Military Affairs Department thinks that they are the fleet of Franc sailors in Luzon!"

"Your Excellency!" Velasco said cautiously: "I'm afraid, it's the military administration department who 'got it' wrong!" ”

"Huh?!"

"In Luzon, the Kingdom of Portugal does not have any fleet stationed, although the ships of the Kingdom of Portugal can dock and supply, but the detachment fleet of Luzon has long been transferred back, and His Majesty the King believes that in the East, the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Portugal have enough strength to protect themselves, except for the army, there is no fleet of the Kingdom in the East!"

"And what do you mean?" Yu Feng looked at him coldly.

"If it's Franco, gunboats and regular soldiers, I'm afraid that these thieves are more likely to come from the Australian 'Gate', and a large part of the soldiers in our training battalion are from there, I estimate that these thieves are also mercenaries recruited in the Australian 'Gate', and then transported to the new city through armed merchant ships!"
