Chapter 81: The Wind General

A Spanish company had 25 to 300 soldiers, but at this time no one knew how many of them were running towards the front line, and they did not shout stupidly, but just carried their weapons and advanced quickly step by step.

The loud sound of the stone cannon from a distance frightened Fu Yuan so much that the hairs on his face stood on end, and his leg armor skirt was hit by the barrier wall, and he almost rolled and climbed into the middle of the barrier.

Leaning against the wall for a long time, listening to the huge stone projectiles crashing, bouncing, and rolling in the canyon road until there was no more sound, then he let out a long breath, touched his body, turned his head to the left and right, and shouted: "Is anyone hurt, is anyone hurt?" ”

There were rumors of the ups and downs of the flag army to report safety, and no one died or was injured because of it.

Immediately following Fu Yuan, he heard the footsteps of thousands of people echoing in the canyon.

"Prepare to defend!"

In fact, when the Spaniards were preparing to attack, many of Fu Yuan's banner troops were napping against the barrier wall, but at this time, all of them woke up, and when they heard the military order, they grabbed the weapons around them and ran to the trenches, dripping with muddy and wet trenches, and stretched out the bird guns to shoot holes.

Even ten paces away, Black Goo Rumble couldn't see anything.

Fu Yuan's eyes widened and he tried his best to look forward, as if he hoped to detect the attacking enemy army as soon as possible, but in fact, he couldn't see anything.

When the Ming army picked up the Western army shells in the evening, they hung bells on the horses, and it was difficult to get these bells from the hands of the Black Cloud Dragon, but at this time it did not have the slightest effect.

The generals of the two armies, who were familiar with the celestial phenomena, could recognize that there was probably a shower tonight, and the wind was blowing so that the Maluan bell rang incessantly, and it was impossible to identify where the enemy was going.

"Tell Da Shuai and General Shao that the Western Army is attacking, is the cannon polished, loaded with 400 steps of medicine, and the artillery cart is pushed to the front!"

The artillery of the Ming army also used gunpowder packs, at first a hundred households in Nanyang in order to prevent the problem of more gunpowder and less gunpowder in the panic of the war, they imitated the gunpowder cartridge of the bird gun and wrapped it in paper, and later the gunpowder craftsman in the warehouse found that the ordinary paper was easy to get damp, so he changed to wrap it with oil paper.

Gunpowder, skids, and shells are wrapped together and stuffed into the barrel, and when fired, the package is punctured through the fuse, and the primer is poured in and ignited.

This method was further refined to load different gunpowder at different firing ranges when Chen Mu was training in Beiyang, and prepared in advance to deal with the amount of ammunition at each firing range, as well as the distinction between solid bullets and loose cylinders.

Fu Yuan was not prepared to fire artillery when the enemy army attacked 400 paces, he was waiting.

With the creaking sound of the wooden cart in front of the artillery flag army, Fu Yuan suddenly laughed, and said to the left and right: "Take five general flag arrows, we are afraid, they are more afraid than us." ”

The Banner Army was afraid of the enemy in the dark, and perhaps it was not the Spaniards who were afraid of them, but the Spaniards in the dark, and the darkness terrified them much more than the Spaniards.

There is nothing to fear about the Spaniards.

The flag army took the general flag arrow encapsulated in a wooden barrel from time to time, and Fu Yuan patted the general flag arrow carved with a dragon pattern and smiled: "Isn't it just a light on Ming'er, let's invite a wind to come and see where they go!" ”

He couldn't understand the words of the banner army, but it didn't affect the understanding of others-because the guerrilla general of the Ming Oriental Military Government followed closely and set off a big firework on the barrier wall.

There are no Shenwei Trap Arrows, otherwise the kind of thing that can fly a thousand steps is better illuminated.

The general flag arrow swirled in the air and burst out more than 200 steps, and the light emitted in an instant made the flag army barely see the shadow of a spear in the distance.

There was no one to be seen at all, and the Zhangwu spears that were brushed hundreds of paces away stood straight and straight in the phalanx, and the moment the fire lit up, it was easy to ignore the rows of musketeers and sword and shield soldiers in front of the spearmen.

It's easier to overlook the dark mix of natives, mercenaries, and down-and-out knights on the slopes near the mountain walls on either side of the road, who are Bernal's hand-picked warriors.

The phalanx is the main force, but no one will be naïve to think that the spear phalanx is suitable for storming.

Fu Yuan took this opportunity to dispatch the flag army, and the resting Shao Tingda department was awakened by the sound of artillery, and the flag army, which only took a moment to sleep in clothes, was ready to go to the front line under the leadership of hundreds of households.

On the other side of the port, the cavalry of the Black Cloud Dragon Department led the horses and stood quietly in the cotton field outside the camp, waiting for the order to attack. ”

The black cloud dragon who was gearing up didn't say anything after reading the warrant, bowed his head to the herald, turned around and waved to his subordinates to disband.

The warrant is only one sentence: the war horse is returned to the stable, and the horse army is returned to the camp.

As for Chen Mu, he had already led his own soldiers and horses to the front line.

He was not more than halfway through the road, and the second artillery salvo of the Ming army had been heard from the valley road, and the sound of the cannon was mixed with the sound of birds, and the battlefield had been turned into a mess.

The lead pellets rained down through the turf outside the barrier wall, mixed with the sound of the lead pellets hitting the wood, which was the sound of the projectiles piercing through the canopy.

Fu Yuan, who was crouching sideways behind the wall, held the gun in one hand and raised it in the other hand to block the palm leaves that were blocking the front of the helmet to cover the falling palm leaves, bared his teeth and muttered quietly: "Xiyi's gun is really far away - don't panic!" The enemy is still 200 paces away! ”

As soon as his words fell, the sound of bird guns shooting in rounds came from the edge of the right wing, although the Ming army's bird guns were first imitated from Portugal, and they were not much different from Spanish arquebuses, and the sound was relatively similar, but they were still very easy to distinguish.

The Western Army muskets were fired very neatly but not deliberately in pursuit of rhythm, and were released in a row and scattered, with short intervals; In order to ensure the continuity of firepower, the Beiyang Flag Army will be divided into several formations and released one after another, even if the same platoon is not so neat, but each platoon and each formation are spaced at the same interval, and the guns will not stop.

"Which hundred-household department is that!"

Before Fu Yuan could blame, he heard more bannermen on the left flank put their guns down, which made him suspicious.

It is not surprising that a hundred households panicked, the left and right wings released their guns almost at the same time, and the voice was very neat, not that the flag army attacked in a panic, something bad must have happened.

Relying on the gap in the barrier wall to form a female wall, he pretended to have the courage to look at the two wings, and saw that the right flank was very close to the position, and the light of muskets alternately appeared, and it was obvious that the enemy had already touched within fifty paces of the formation, and the situation on the left flank was even worse, and someone was already approaching within thirty paces.

"Report! General, there are enemy guerrillas approaching a hundred steps on the right flank, and the thistle terrestris was discovered when he stepped on it, and a hundred small households came to report, the right flank is ready to engage in battle, please send reinforcements to plug the gap! ”

"I already know, tell the generals of the right wing, reinforcements will arrive soon."

Fu Yuan pursed his lips and nodded, this news made his face numb and a little afraid, if it weren't for the iron thistles paved on the gravel road on both wings, at this moment, his two-wing banner army would probably have fought with the enemy.

Reinforcements had already arrived, and Fu Yuan's pupils reflected the flag army holding torches in Taniguchi, which was Shao Tingda leading his troops to rush over.
