The first thousand two hundred and fifty-six chapters hope that the Ming people will fight a little
Koquela was an excellent military general. He had experienced many wars, participated in the Europa War, fought against the Dutch, French, Prussian, Portuguese, and fought against the Ottomans.
It can be said that he has his own unique insights into the military, so he was sent to this chaotic Nanyang to be the governor.
There is no peace here in Nanyang, and many forces are mixed. If you fuck me today, I will fuck you to death tomorrow.
Moreover, the pirates here are famous in the West. Who do people who engage in maritime trade know the power of pirates in the South China Sea, especially the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong, who is even more well-known.
That's why Zhu Youxiao sent Zheng Zhilong to the Netherlands. People who didn't have a name could not suppress the people in the west. After all, the people in the west knew too little about me, Daming, and we had to send someone who was familiar with them.
Koquera made a lot of contributions to being the Governor of Luzon, at least he really made a lot of contributions to stabilizing the surrounding security. It can be said that the security of the line from Mexico to Luzon and then to Spain has made great progress in the years when Koquera was the Governor of Luzon.
Such a governor is a very strong person, so he offended many people during his tenure as governor, so he was found to convict him for a while and went in for a while. Now he has just been released, and he just happened to find someone to fight and release his inner anger.
Now the Ming people pirates are coming to him, and this is really a channel for him to vent.
So after he knew that his fleet had been broken, he did not feel that the sky had collapsed, because even if the fleet of Ming people and pirates was strong, he could still fly ashore.
As long as these Ming pirates dare to go to land, I will let you know why our Spanish soldiers can gallop in Europe for many years and can press the Portuguese under their bodies and trample hard!
Koquera stood behind and watched the Maurice formation formed by Spanish soldiers who were preparing to take over the enemy. He felt that the kung fu of these Spanish soldiers he had practiced during this period was not in vain. Look at how neat the Maurice formation, how perfect and how powerful it is.
While Spain was still working hard to cultivate the Spanish phalanx in this era, Coquera had already studied the Morris phalanx countless times.
Because he had fought with the Netherlands, the Dutch used the Morris phalanx to fight his Spanish phalanx. As a result, he fought with the Dutch that time, which inspired Koquera's research on the Morris phalanx used by the Dutch.
The Dutch who fought against him at that time were much weaker than the Spanish soldiers he led in terms of weapons, equipment and personnel, but he was even more incomparable to fighting with him. This is strange.
As a result, after research, he actually discovered the advantages of this Morris phalanx.
Their Spanish quadratic formation is a combination of a mixed unit of spears and a coercion gun. The entire one is a mixed formation of a dense square spear array with infantry as the core and a small square array of multiple people in the four corners.
The entire square formation consists of at least a combination of hundreds of people and at most a combination of thousands of people. This depends on the number of troops led by generals on the battlefield.
After such a square array is combined, it is generally arranged in the front and back of the chessboard style, covering each other, and forming a joint front. The Spanish army is generally arranged on two lines, with artillery in the middle or two wings, and the cavalry is arranged on both wings or behind the front line to support and break the attack and combat at any time.
The Morris phalanx is actually something that the Dutch improved against the Spanish phalanx. After studying the traditional Spanish phalanx, the Dutch felt that this was not suitable for all combat methods, because the Spanish phalanx was defensive in all directions, considering that enemies were attacking from all directions, so that the Spanish phalanx could attack enemies from all sides.
Although this phalanx takes into account the overall situation, it is too bulky, and the dense formation can easily cause inconvenience to move. Moreover, the line of fire of the mezzanine troops is too narrow. Although the method of laying muskets at four corners strengthens all-round combat capabilities, it is too easy to cause waste of firepower. The person who needs to hand over only one side attacks, at least there are two sides that cannot exchange fire with the enemy.
So the Dutch improved the Morris phalanx after repeated research. This phalanx strengthened the maneuverability of the phalanx and also strengthened the firepower output channel. It reduced the depth of the Spanish phalanx, and was still used to arrange artillery and spearmen in the middle, but the melee gun troops were arranged on the two wings of the spearmen, so that the depth of the musket team could be reduced, but the lateral width was increased, the firepower range was extended, and the firepower was partially strengthened, and the muskets were independent. If the situation was advanced to the spearmen, the melee battle began to retreat to the two wings, which was more maneuverable, and the number of muskets was greatly increased, and the ability to output was greatly improved.
Koquila felt like she was treasured at first sight. When she encountered an enemy on a narrow passage, her combat effectiveness was far superior to that of the Spanish phalanx.
So Koquila's confidence comes from here. Think about how the Ming pirates who didn't even know what the battle formation was, could fight with themselves under this square formation that had been tempered by many years of war.
Do those Ming people understand what the art of war is? Do they know what the great battle formation is?
It’s not that Koquila looks down on these wise people, but that he doesn’t allow his strength.
Koquela was waiting, and he was waiting for the Ming rabble Ulala to rush up, hitting his Morris square formation and then being beaten to the point of bleeding. That must be very interesting.
"Governor General, how do you think those Ming people will die later? I wonder why my subordinates are suddenly curious." A lieutenant colonel standing next to Koquera looked at the fierce Spanish soldiers in front of him and suddenly asked sarcastically.
Koquila smiled. He didn't know how those Ming people would die, but he knew that those Ming people would definitely seek death by themselves.
When they are beaten by themselves, they can know that we, the Spaniards, are invincible.
I saw Koquila pull out his monocool telescope and sneer at the attack route of Mingren in the west and said, "Then we have to see how these Mingren want to die. I hope they can add more fun to my boring life."
Having not fought for a long time, Koquela felt that his hands were really itchy. Now these Ming people are the tools for him to satisfy his cravings.
