Their shields were close to each other, like an impregnable wall, and no matter how the other man's muskets raged, no one was seriously injured or killed, except for two who were slightly injured while moving.

Subsequently, one of the Ming soldiers lit fireworks, and the red fireworks suddenly rose into the air and exploded in the air.

Just waiting a mile away for Zhang Xiao to see this firework, without saying a word, he immediately ordered that Meng Hu lead 2,000 people to the mountain where Lai San'er was to support.

In addition, although the mountain that Chen Jing searched for had not yet sent a signal at this time, Zhang Xiao judged that there must be an ambush, so he ordered Meng Wei to bring 2,000 people to support.

As Zhang Xiao expected, not long after Meng Wei set off, Chen Jing also issued a red fireworks signal.

"Kill!"

A large number of Ming troops screamed and shouted and went up the hill to kill.

On Lai San'er's side, after about twenty soldiers in front formed a shield wall, the eighty soldiers in the back immediately lit the thunderbolts in their hands and threw them towards the Portuguese position.

Thunderbolts, seriously, if you want to throw them accurately, you still need some technical content.

However, for a group of people who practice martial arts, their control of hand power is almost to the point of perfection, and since they are allowed to bring thunderbolts, they must have practiced before, so how far most of them can be thrown, it is all clear.

Whew!

Soon, the first twenty thunderbolts with fire tails made a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed accurately in the musket formation of the Portuguese soldiers.

It was well known that the muskets at that time had low accuracy and slow rate of fire, so it was necessary to gather people together, and then generally divided into three queues, the first row was fired, crouched down to reload, and the second row fired. After the second row is fired, it crouches down to reload, and the third row fires.

So, the formation of the soldiers is very dense.

This directly led to the explosion of the thunderbolt, which swept directly into a large area.

It was very happy.

Twenty thunderbolts exploded, and the firepower on the opposite side was half dumb!

The Ming army threw another twenty.

Thundered!

Now the other side is completely dumbfounded!

Even the Ming army couldn't believe that the Portuguese on the opposite side were so vulnerable.

In fact, the Portuguese in this era really can't keep up with the elite of the Ming Dynasty who are armed to the teeth under Qin Shuhuai's painstaking management.

If there were British soldiers on the other side, I am afraid that the Ming army would not be better off now.

Because the British had now worn the cuirass of the ferroalloy alloy and each soldier was equipped with five black grenades in addition to the arquebus, the world's first grenades - if the Ming army's Thunderbolts were not large grenades.

On the one hand, this can make the British have stronger defensive capabilities, and when encountering this kind of shield tactics of the Ming army, they can be broken by throwing black grenades directly.

It's a pity that the Portuguese don't have this equipment.

In the Portuguese army, ordinary soldiers now wore cotton cuirasses, and their weapons were arquebuses and French swords or spears, only officers wore steel armor, and there were no weapons such as black grenades in the whole army.

In this way, when the Ming army was so dense that they shrank behind the big shield, they were helpless.

The Ming army, on the other hand, could use thunderbolts to inflict heavy casualties on them, who were also gathered in dense groups.

After the army threw two rounds of thunderbolts, countless wails, moans, and screams were heard in the grass ahead, but not a single gunshot was fired other than that.

But it's also a bit weird, you can't say that forty thunderbolts killed the other party, right?

So the Ming army hid behind the shield and carefully observed the surroundings.

At this moment, a Kunlun faction expert shouted in the rear, "There is movement in the grass in the southwest!"

Then, another Wudang faction expert also shouted, "There is a voice in the southeast!"

The senses of these good hands are so sharp that although the sounds coming from those directions are extremely slight, they can still be easily distinguished.

Lai San'er didn't have to think about it to know that the other party was planning to bypass and surround him.

But it is impossible for him to retreat, and if he retreats at this time, it will inevitably cause casualties.

Besides, dealing with these Western red hairs, Lai San'er felt that it was much easier than dealing with the Demon Sect and the Tartar soldiers, was it necessary for him to run?

So he immediately shouted, "Form a quadrangle!"

Rub rub!

Everyone gathered in the middle and formed a square with their shields, so that they would not be afraid to shoot from that angle.

When the Portuguese army thought that it had "quietly" surrounded its opponent, it found that the opponent had already surrounded itself with a shield.

The only way for the creeping army to break these shields is to bombard.

The cannon was there, but it was already halfway up the mountain, which was originally intended to be used when the Ming army passed on the main road below the mountain.

Now I want to transport thousands of pounds of cannons to the mountain, but I don't know that I will have to wait for the Year of the Monkey.

The commander of the creeping army was already thundering at this time, he drew his sword, and ordered everyone to rush forward and engage the opponent in hand-to-hand combat.

Although he had suffered heavy losses just now, he still had more than 300 men in his hands, and the other side was only about 100 people, so he didn't think that melee combat would be a loss.

So more than 300 creeping troops came up in one go.

The Ming army was happy all of a sudden.

Is that a good idea to fight with us in melee combat?

When more than 300 creeping troops surrounded them from all directions, the Ming army smashed out all the thunderbolts that could be smashed out.

Boom! Boom!

I felt that the earth under the ground was also shaking, and the earth really shook the mountains.

Leaf after leaf fell of Portuguese soldiers and mercenaries like autumn winds.

Their charging formation was easily blown up.

Then, three powerful crossbows in a row were powerful, whizzing and reaping.

There are 300 arrows in a hundred strong crossbows, and even if they are fired in a hurry, it is impossible for the arrows to hit, but at least fifty or sixty people have been shot down - close, the strong crossbows are so ferocious.

When the creeping army reached the Ming army, there were only more than 150 people left.

Lai San'er roared, "Kill the red-haired ghost! Kill one and reward one or two silver!"

This product is purely hot-blooded, because Qin Shuhuai doesn't stipulate how much silver is rewarded for killing a person, so this money is properly paid for by him, the "Dingbei Uncle".

But Lai San'er didn't care, what he wanted was to wipe out all these red-haired ghosts before reinforcements came up.

Why?

Purely to set the prestige of Beibo, believe it or not?

And it shows that the soldiers are grinning happily when they see that there is still a lot of money to make.

Then kill it!

Lai San'er took the lead bravely, and with a swing of the long sword, separated a spear that had been stabbed, and then turned his wrist and lifted the sword, directly sealing the opponent's throat with a sword.

He has obtained the simplified version of the Yijin Sutra and the Jiuyang Divine Skill passed down by Qin Shuhuai, and now he has reached the fifth rank of Xiaocheng Realm, and he is an out-and-out master in the rivers and lakes.

Dealing with these ordinary creeps is like chopping melons and vegetables.

In the course of the battle, the soldiers of the Ming army also found that there were also many good hands among the red-haired devils on the opposite side, some were proficient in Western swordsmanship, and they were also quite powerful when they were used, and some were proficient in the art of spears, although they were different from the Central Plains spear martial arts, but they also had a power that should not be underestimated.

But on the whole, the martial arts of the Westerners were far less prosperous than those of the Ming Dynasty, and with the soldiers who would be stationed here, what masters were there? If there were masters, they would inevitably be arranged to protect the Governor in the Governor's Palace.

In addition, the Ming army wore three-layer armor, while most of the creeping troops were cotton armor, which was originally superior in martial arts, and the equipment was several levels behind, so that the gap between the fifty troops could be ignored at all.

Lai San'er took a few good hands from the Wudang faction and the Kunlun faction to select the good hands in the opponent's array to kill, and it didn't take long to kill all the good hands of the other party.

Within half an hour of the battle, more than 150 creeping troops on the opposite side were slaughtered.

Especially the mercenaries from the local area, as soon as they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately jumped and ran.

When Meng Hu arrived with an army of two thousand, there were only twenty or thirty Portuguese soldiers left on the battlefield.
