The formation of the two armies was completed, and the Ming army occupied an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment.

In Asia in the middle of the seventeenth century, even the Ming Dynasty, which had been in decline step by step, had never lost foreign wars, and now the new Ming Dynasty, which was in full swing, was within its sphere of influence, at its own doorstep, how could it lose to the Xiyi who came from thousands of miles.

Looking at the Ming army in front of him, the fierce aura exuded by the soldiers who had fought for a long time made the proud Caucasian feel a trace of fear.

Wood was a little worried about his two wings, the combat strength of the native soldiers of the Sultanate, and he also knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the Ming army, but as long as he crushed the Ming army's Chinese army before the two wings were defeated, he could avoid defeat and win a big victory.

The Ming army on the opposite side did not look weak, but Wood believed that the impact of the two hundred war elephants was unstoppable, and he only needed to rush the war elephants to disrupt the Ming army's formation, and then the artillery bombardment, the musketeers pressed it, and a few rounds of guns could crush the Ming army.

The Dutch have crossed the seas and have not yet met an enemy that cannot be solved by a few rounds of guns.

Wood realized that he had to strike first, and that he could not let the Ming army attack his two wings first, so he slowly pulled out his pistol, and suddenly pulled the trigger, and the flint sparked, and with a "bang", he immediately shouted: "War elephants attack!" ”

"Moo~" Two hundred elephants, raising their long snouts and making a piercing sound, began to rush forward.

The huge elephant's legs stepped on the ground, and the earth trembled immediately, and the accelerated elephants, like trucks, crashed into the position of the Ming army.

As the elephants advanced, the Dutch musketeers lined up in three rows, and followed forward, and the native soldiers on both wings also slowly swept forward, and they wanted to immediately line up after the elephants disrupted the Ming army's formation, so as not to give the Ming army a chance to re-array.

"Fire!" Li Dingguo saw that the war elephant crashed into the weeds in front of him, like a fierce primeval giant beast, crashing towards the big array, the momentum was really terrifying, and he immediately roared.

When the flag officer of the Chinese army heard this, he raised a yellow flag high and shook it back and forth, and the artillery array on the hillside on the right flank suddenly let out a roar, and the mountain was instantly covered with thick gunsmoke.

On the artillery array, the commander of the Ming army waved the command flag downward, and the gunner holding the torch immediately lit the primer, and the fifty guns lined up in the first line suddenly spewed out a cloud of white smoke, and the gun carriage with two wheels immediately retreated, almost exiting the gun pit, the wheels turned to a high place, and fell heavily into the gun pit with the artillery.

The charging war elephants were rushing forward rapidly, and dozens of shells on the top of the mountain directly rushed out of the gunsmoke, crossed the heads of the Ming army, and shot into the elephant array.

The cannonballs roared like meteorites into the ground, and the mud splashed on the road of the war elephants.

"Moo~" with a miserable long hiss, an iron bullet smashed on the side of the war elephant's back, and the war elephant screamed, and suddenly fell to the ground heavily, smashing the grass and trees and shaking the earth.

Wood sneered, these war elephants plugged their ears with cotton and covered their eyes with cloths, and after they were frightened and frightened, they only charged forward more frantically, tearing apart the Ming army.

War elephants are fast, and they are running wildly between the splashes of dirt and grass.

Li Dingguo saw that the artillery bombardment had no effect, and his face couldn't help but become solemn, but Chen Youlong, who was in command in the front, was calm and calm, his eyes were firmly fixed on the war elephants, and when they rushed forward to 200 steps away from the big formation, the Ming army did not raise their guns to shoot.

Chen Youlong has been fighting in Yungui for a long time, and he knows that these behemoths, with rough skin and thick flesh, bows and arrows, and fire guns, will not be able to knock them down for a while, and they will only be knocked away by these giants if they fight hard.

"Spread out!" Just as these war elephants galloped to the front of the formation one hundred and fifty steps, Chen Youlong suddenly drew his sword and roared angrily.

The guards behind him immediately waved a flag to the left and right continuously, and the Ming soldiers with guns in both hands behind him were relieved, and immediately took the division as a unit, and the soldiers approached the division commander with the flag on both sides, and a gap suddenly appeared between the divisions, and then the soldiers moved quickly, leaving the gap to the behemoth who rushed in.

In a moment, the Ming army's large array changed from an iron plate to a comb, leaving countless gaps.

The giant elephants were under fire, running in terror, and crashed into the Ming army's large array in the blink of an eye, but the scene that Wood was looking forward to did not appear, and the frightened war elephants passed through the gap between the Ming army, and only a few war elephants hit the Ming army, and the huge impact force immediately knocked the Ming soldiers into the air, knocked over the baggage vehicles behind the formation, and scattered rice on the ground.

"Hey!" The giant elephant passed through the gap, Chen Youlong shouted again, the command flag behind him waved back and forth, and the scattered Ming army immediately resumed its formation.

"Rush!" Immediately afterwards, Chen Youlong shouted again, and the Ming soldiers and soldiers pushed forward to meet the Dutch who pressed up amid the sound of drums and flutes.

When the war elephant rushed through the Ming formation, a group of Ming troops behind turned around, chased the war elephant's buttocks, and chased it up.

Wood's face twitched when he saw this, but at this time, he had no time to change his tactics, and the Dutch soldiers who followed the war elephant were already close to the Ming formation.

Originally, they wanted to shoot the chaotic Ming army immediately after the war elephants rushed to the Ming formation, but now they can only shoot at the Ming army.

"Boom, boom!" On the battlefield, suddenly the sound of artillery rumbled.

The whole large formation of the Ming army began to push forward, and at the same time the large array of the Dutch also advanced.

The shells fell in the open area between the two armies, splashing the dirt, and some of the shells fell into the forward queue, directly knocking over the soldiers of both sides lined up in a neat row.

Li Dingguo observed the battlefield with a clairvoyant scope, the enemy's left and right flanks put on a defensive posture, and the Dutch who rushed forward in the middle formed several three-row vertical formations, lined up in neat queues, braving artillery fire to push the Ming army flat, and the Ming army did the same, slowly advancing in the enemy's artillery fire, the shells fell in the formation, and the soldiers still held their guns in both hands and advanced forward.

"Command the cavalry, knock out the Heyi artillery array!" Li Dingguo saw that the artillery hidden by the Dutch suddenly opened fire, and the shells entered the Ming formation, and several gaps immediately appeared in the line of the infantry army.

Although the Ming soldiers were still calmly lined up to meet the attack, the artillery bombardment of Heyi undoubtedly caused some panic in the Ming army's formation.

The Ming army had many cards, but Heyi was almost all left, and the artillery bombarded the infantry formation, and then the platoon guns routed the Ming army.

Although the artillery of the Ming army is also bombarding Heyi's infantry formation, since the Ming army has sufficient troops and cavalry, why not use it?

Li Dingguo gave an order, and the cavalry of the Ming army guarding the slope of the right flank immediately divided a thousand people, roared around the infantry battlefield, and killed the Heyi artillery array with white smoke.

At this time, the infantry of the two armies quickly approached, and the distance between the two sides was drawn to within one hundred and fifty paces in the waist-high weeds, but no one in either army fired first.

Suddenly, the advancing Heyi and the Ming army stopped almost at the same time, and the Ming army lined up in a line, raising their own muskets, and the Dutch on the opposite side also raised their muskets.

The commanders of both sides waved their flags almost simultaneously, the whistles and drums in the army sounded at the same time, and the "bang-bang" gunfire rang out. On the infantry lines of the two armies, a long smoke ribbon immediately filled the air, and a large number of soldiers were shot at the same time and fell to the ground.

"Second team, up!" The generals of the Ming army shouted, and the first row of gunners immediately retreated, nervously reloading ammunition.

In the second row, the musketeers, while raising their guns to shoot, the third-row musketeers, already holding their guns in both hands, were ready to take their place.

The soldiers on both sides, just a hundred paces apart, stood and fired at each other, and shot each other in a row.

It takes a lot of courage and rigorous training, and it is clear that these qualities are all present in the Ming Army.

Under the platoon of guns, the soldiers on both sides kept falling to the ground, and when the three rounds of guns passed, the Dutch finished playing with the three-plate axe, but immediately panicked.

The Ming army on the opposite side did not collapse under their platoon of guns as the enemy they had encountered, but in the same way, the Dutch fell to the ground one after another.

The Dutch crisscrossed the world, relying on gunboats at sea and platoon guns on land, and they had not yet encountered a problem that could not be solved by a few rounds of platoon guns, but when they met today, the platoon guns had been fired more than three rounds, but the opponent still did not flee, but became more and more courageous the more they fought, and they were immediately stunned.

The Dutch's combat strength was still good, although they found that the platoon guns were ineffective, but they still shot in a row, but the soldiers of the Sultanate on both flanks had a lot of employment.

Under the bombardment of the Ming army's three-wheeled platoons and artillery, these native soldiers who rushed forward were immediately defeated and retreated.

"Kill!" Liu Wenxiu and Yu Youming, who were on both wings, roared almost at the same time, and the Ming soldiers immediately inserted spurs on the fire guns, or drew their swords, like a flood beast, shouting and swept towards the two wings of the Dutch.

At the same time, more than 1,000 cavalry of the Ming army roared and rushed to Heyi's artillery array, and the cavalry bombarded with three-eyed guns, knocking down the gunners, and some had to rush up to sabre and slash and kill, more than 100 Dutch and more than 300 native soldiers, who were immediately killed and scattered and fled.

At this time, the two flanks of the Dutch were routed by the Ming army, and the middle platoon of guns lost the support of artillery.

No matter how Wood transferred his troops and commanded him, in front of the Ming army, which had an absolute advantage, he played the three-plate axe without effect, which indicated that he would definitely fail and could not recover the defeat.

Less than 2,000 musketeers, under the shelling of the Ming army, people were constantly smashed into pulp, and the Dutch were surprised to find that the Ming army's platoon gun shooting and infantry artillery coordination were more skilled than them, so they could not fight.

While the Ming army was firing in order, retreating and loading, the Dutch had a vacancy due to the loss of personnel, and the three platoons of firing were chaotic.

"Up!" Seeing that the two wings had swept over, the Ming army suddenly changed its shooting strategy in the middle, and began to shoot from the side, and as the distance narrowed, the Dutch casualties increased again, and they faced the Ming army pressed in a neat array, and finally the morale of the army collapsed.

At this time, no one listened to Wood's command anymore, and in the face of the unstoppable murderous aura of the Ming army and the momentum of a landslide, the frightened Dutch scrambled to flee for their lives, but at this time, the Ming troops on both wings had outflanked them like pincers······
