The large fixed-size loose cylinder was clumsily stuffed into the muzzle of the tiger squat cannon by the new recruits of Ya Nian, and the two Shuntian banner soldiers stuffed the medicine line into the tail of the cannon, and the other Shuntian banner army raised the fire pole in turn and lit it, and let out an earth-shattering roar outside the Spanish wooden village.

Hundreds of scattered seeds were blasted into the air in an instant, drawing a parabola at the highest point and falling into the camp and outside the camp like hail from the sky, and a miserable scream was released.

The Tiger Squat Cannon is useless for construction, even if it is the most rudimentary wooden barracks, the barracks built of thick logs are still not destroyed by the Tiger Squat Cannon, a firearm used to kill and injure people, and even if the scattered sons hit the wall, they can only be deeply embedded in the wall.

As for the soldiers wearing high helmets and chain mail or plate armor on the camp, the ability of the tiger squat cannon to cause chaos to them is obviously greater than the lethal ability, and the unlucky ones are smashed with a blue nose and swollen face or smashed through the forehead on the spot, and most of them are only very seriously frightened and slightly injured.

The real power of the Tiger Squat Cannon is suppression, and it is also a disaster that brings destruction to the unarmored enemy.

For example, the soldiers in the battalion who were shirtless to transport weapons to defend the city, transport artillery shells, and carry logs, flying stones fell quickly from a very high height, and the lethality was no less than that of a gun shot from a hundred paces away.

The Bamen Tiger squatted in the first volley, three unlucky Spanish soldiers were killed on the spot, and more than 30 soldiers guarding the northwest direction were injured to varying degrees, and eleven of them could no longer participate in the battle.

The battalion's company commander was a retired captain who had fought against the Ottomans, who had crossed the ocean with a sword a few years earlier, and had obtained gold in South America to buy a full set of black Milanese plate armor.

However, he was not accustomed to wearing the helmet covered with armor every day, but with his sensitivity to battle, he took off a pair of high-topped helmets from the soldiers' heads and buckled them on their heads when he saw the unknown army staking strange light artillery outside the camp.

Originally, no one thought that the shells would hit themselves, in the imagination of normal people, the artillery would bombard the Muzhai Gate first, and according to the caliber of the light artillery carried by that army, the Muzhai Gate could not hold one shot, let alone eight artillery.

Although the captain did not believe that such a cannon with a very large caliber and a very thin bore wall could shoot a cannonball without exploding, as a professional Spanish officer, he still gave the order to his soldiers to prepare for a white-knuckle battle after the gate was breached.

He put on his helmet only to lead his troops to fight his way out of the two remaining cavalrymen in the wooden village - the Governor must know the news that the navy of which country has landed in New Spain.

It saved his life.

Who would have thought that someone would shoot shotgun at the walled city! This howitzer is too curved!

Occasionally, shotshots were used in the European War, but no one would have placed the howitzers fired so close together and hit such a concentrated target.

This will cause the shotshots to collide in the air and fall on the enemy with little power.

Three scatters landed on the captain's high-topped helmet, two of which had collided with the others in the air as they fell, but only one, for the captain, was like being hit on the top of his head by a small hammer, making him almost faint.

When he took off his helmet a little dazed, the edge of the high-top helmet had been smashed out of the depression, and the sticky feeling on the side of his forehead was running down the ends of his hair, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but the experienced captain did not waste time looking at it.

His next action was to skillfully take off the plate armor gloves, tear the sleeves of his shirt and scribble them on his head, and at the same time did not forget to shout to the village: "The wounded soldiers rely on the wall to bandage their wounds on the spot, everyone look for cover and don't panic, they have no means to break the city!" ”

At this moment, the captain heard a wounded soldier shouting in a struggle: "It's the Chinese Empire, the Ming Army!" It's the Ming Army! ”

Ming Army.

These two words have a much greater impact on morale than the simultaneous firing of eight tiger squat cannons.

Not many of the soldiers of New Spain actually saw the Ming army, but no one did not know that there was a Ming army in the other direction of the world.

Those who had seen the Ming army were dead.

The battles of the Philippine Islands and Guam wiped out four aboriginal legions, two half-blood legions, and one Spanish legion in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and two convoys and a treasure convoy were missing.

Even the attacks of the musketeers, who continued to shoot at the natives, were halted by news from the Ming army.

The captain saw the most ungodly men kissing the cross.

Blood flowed from his forehead and blinded his right eye, and at some point the monk with his cross and flagpole had ascended to the top of the city, and walked up to the captain with a blank face.

"The Spaniards will never surrender!"

Captain: "??? ”

"The Spaniards will never surrender!"

The monks are strong-willed, and even in old and new Spain, no one is more determined than them, because they are the guardians of secrets.

All New Espanyols knew that their quest for North America was disorderly, as the North faced more risks than the South, and the brave explorations of the adventurers also stemmed from several legends.

Florida has immortal springs, South Carolina has a diamond mountain, Texas has the kingdom of Gran Quila, and Arizona has seven cities full of wealth.

This is called 3G, i.e. for gold, gods, and glory.

Behind the legend, the kingdom needed a large number of adventurers to spontaneously protect the hegemony of the Gulf of Mexico and compete with the French for the eastern front of North America - the country's finances had collapsed, and the Christian League was facing an aggressive invasion by the Ottomans, and Philip had no spare resources to explore North America, but they needed America.

Anyone in any country who sets foot on this land is willing to perpetuate these legends because it is beneficial to them.

Everyone.

The captain knew that he could not surrender, not that he was not like, but that even if they surrendered, those aborigines would not leave them alive.

If they had children, some of the natives would raise their children and add them to their tribes after sacrificial rituals, but they had no children.

The attack on the village did not work, and the captain did not think that they could face the onslaught of the aborigines and at the same time guard against the attack of the Ming army.

"Cheer up, just one"

Ma Gui's subordinates did not have a school shooting, they did not have professional artillery, and only one of the banner troops who operated the tiger squat was from Shuntian, who had barely received some training in ballistics on Kuwu Island.

There were many banner soldiers like him under Ma Gui's command, but most of them were transferred to the Japanese battlefield by the imperial court in the year when the news was cut off, and most of those who were lucky enough to follow Ma Gui froze to death and starved to death in the northern ice field, even if they did not die and were disabled, they remained in Shuihu Peak.

There is only one Shuntian Banner Army left, which can be called a little understanding of artillery.

Even so, when the Tiger Squat Cannon was reloaded for the second time and bombarded the wall, it still beat the soldiers on the wall so that they did not dare to raise their heads, although they did not hurt a few people.

But Ma Gui faced in the direction of the aborigines, and his raised right arm slowly pushed in the direction of Muzhai.

When the Spanish soldiers were suppressed by the tiger squat cannon and could not return fire outside the camp, and the aborigines poured towards the wooden village like a tide, Ma Gui turned his head and said to the soldiers of the Jurchen Korean formation who did not have a deployment order: "I will cut down a few trees and take out a small hollow core." ”

"The natives here are very useful, let's see if we can drive them to continue fighting south."
