The muffled sound of trumpets rang and forth across the battlefield, and the long echo echoed through the canyon and struck everyone's heart.

When the five phalanxes of the Western Army were the first to enter the firing range, they supported the forks of the heavy arquebuses in front of them one hundred and fifty paces away, and fired a volley of gunpowder smoke with the military order.

The heavy heavy musket has unparalleled lethality, although the caliber and size of each hand-made musket vary from place to place, the weight of the projectile is generally between five coins and one tael, and the power of the heavy musket can easily penetrate the wooden shield in front of the Ming army across the position distance, and wound or even kill the Ming army's bird gunners wearing armor behind them.

With only one volley, Shao Tingda saw at least three banner soldiers in front of his phalanx fall to the ground, but the muskets of the Ming army were not strong at this distance.

But fortunately, the Western Army is still moving forward.

Except for the two phalanxes of about 100 heavy musketeers each standing on the right flank of the Chinese army, the rest of the front military formations were still steadily advancing, and several phalanxes stood a hundred paces away, scattering in front of the Ming army with ordinary arquebuses and a small number of flintlock pistols in their hands.

"Don't panic, let's wait for them to go a little further, give them a few small flag arrows, and don't shoot the birdmen!"

Several round long wooden cylinders were erected on the shield, and more than ten small flag arrows were shot at the enemy from various positions in front of the formation, and in the eyes of Chen Mu on the rear general's platform, in an instant, a puff of gunpowder smoke burst out from all parts of the enemy's phalanx.

However, the small flag and arrow shooting did not interrupt the deployment of the Western Army, and even when the attention of the Chinese army was completely attracted by the phalanx corps that was constantly bursting with gunsmoke, a large number of foot soldiers on both flanks of the enemy were slowly moving forward with knights and light cavalry, as if they wanted to strangle the Chinese army in a flanking formation that attacked at the same time.

"Artillery ready, put!"

Zhen Shuo's cannon roared again, and the solid iron bullet in the air shook a hundred paces away from the phalanx that was scattering with musketeers, and the ten-pound iron bullet cleanly smashed through the chest of the musketeer in front, and then destroyed the shoulder of the musketeer who was charging behind him, and the arquebus was hit and flew diagonally into the sky.

The landed iron bullets continued to roll, seemingly effortlessly breaking the legs of the four spearmen in the rolling path, causing the soldiers behind them to dodge the cannonballs left and right before finally stopping at the end of the blood.

At the same time, the cavalry on the left flank of the Western Army had not yet made any moves, and the mercenaries with long swords on their shoulders and wielding phalanx halberds had been outflanked from the flank under the leadership of the vanguard musketeers.

On the right flank of the Western Army, the knights in heavy armor were much more daring, they rode in groups of three or five with huge cavalry spears, followed by their own light horses, pacing forward, and there were often dozens of levies in front of them, even in the New World, the habit of the nobles to use peasant soldiers on the battlefield in the past remained unchanged.

It was nothing more than their peasant soldiers who changed from Spanish peasants to New Spanish peasants.

Shao Tingda did not increase the defensive force for the left flank, there was originally Fu Yuan and his 300 banner army there, and there were 900 horse troops under the command of Heiyunlong behind, and the strength was relatively strong, which should be able to withstand the first impact of the enemy.

Fu Yuan pursed his lips as he looked at the large army of the Western Army approaching in the distance, swallowed his saliva slowly, raised his hand and said: "The tiger squats and the cannon is scattered, the sword and shield hand comes forward, and the bird gun team prepares." ”

He saw that the soldiers in front of those knights were equipped with a lot of bows and crossbows, and his own hands were also pressed on the hilt of his sword, and the soldiers of the three hundred households under his command were slowly assembled and ready to fight.

The left flank of the Ming army began to move, and the Spanish army on the right flank also increased its speed, the heavily armored knights pushed forward from the right side, and the large number of light cavalry was divided into two formations, one followed and the other suddenly stabbed diagonally towards the central army.

The galloping Spanish light cavalry with spears under its ribs, suddenly increased speed at a distance of no more than 200 paces, passed through the area where the Western army and the Ming army fired at each other, and rushed towards Shao Tingda's department, and at the same time, the four phalanxes of the Chinese army in addition to the musketeers, a large number of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers also moved forward quickly.

"Bird Hands Ready!"

Shao Tingda gave the order here, and the hundred households who commanded the sword and shield hand spearmen shouted: "The sword hand is up!" ”

In the military formation, the sword and shield spears on the left and right of the bird guns stepped forward, the sword and shield hands put the tiger head round shield in front of them, and the waist knife was raised above the head to pose a momentum, and the infantry behind them handed out the hard spears of the five army formations obliquely from the gap in the front row, and the thick spear tail was against the thigh of the lunge, forming a forest of spears.

When the light cavalry approached a hundred paces, the speed of the horse had been increased, galloping like the wind, and the horse's hooves were kicked like thunder, and they were covered in front of the Ming army in a roar, and the galloping foot captured the spirit of the three armies.

However, they seemed to notice the two trenches and the spear thorns in front of the Ming army's bird spurs, and the cavalry team that had formed a cone formation suddenly became chaotic, and some of the riders who saw the spears in the back wanted to turn but were caught left and right, and the cavalry in front did not want to turn but were carried to the side by the war horses.

The charge of the cavalry immediately slowed down, and at this moment, with the order of the birds, a row of birds was in the direction behind the trench, and a salvo knocked over several of the galloping horsemen.

However, most of the cavalry were carried by horses into the trenches, some of them crashed into the spears to stop the momentum or fell off their horses, and the more cavalry easily crossed the two low trenches and rushed into the infantry line from the flank.

The sword and shield men with their swords were all short, and let the spears of Rulin behind them come out to assassinate the enemy horsemen, and they rolled between the hooves of their horses, raising their swords to slash at everything they saw.

The battle on the left flank started at the same time, and when a large number of levies formed a phalanx and approached Fu Yuan's department, the Ming army had successively beaten out the small flag arrows, the general flag arrows, and the bird guns.

The sprayed scattered seeds were like flowers of death blooming from the muzzle of the cannon, and a large piece of lead bullet was smashed into the Western military formation, and the moment the smoke dissipated, it even made people feel that the entire phalanx was beaten into a blur of flesh and blood by this volley of tiger squat artillery.

Heiyunlong was anxious to listen to the battle of the front army in the rear of the left flank, and rode the horse restlessly and kept circling in place, and finally heard the order from Chen Mu on the general platform in the sound of horses' hooves, he raised his long knife and shouted: "The horse army is on the horse, and each hundred households press the enemy formation from the side to squeeze in the middle to guard against the enemy cavalry." ”

As soon as the military order sounded, one by one the horsemen in full gear turned over and rode up on the left side with their spears upside down, but it was right
