Zhao Ming dispatched troops overnight, and two thousand guards quickly rushed to the Acropolis, and then set off overnight. The scout sent him to the right Qiangu Site.

The Youqianhusou is located east of the mouth of the Tamsui River. It is the only remaining stronghold of the Ming army on the east bank of Tamsui.

The stronghold was left without giving up because the stronghold was on the right wing of Tamsui Port, which could protect Tamsui Port, prevent enemy attacks from land, and encircle the right wing and rear of Tamsui Port. In addition, the Ming army maintained a stronghold on the east coast of Tamsui, so it left a foothold to facilitate the Ming army's counterattack.

On the sea not far from Youqianhusou, five Spanish warships were anchored, and more than a thousand Spanish were riding on small boats and landing in batches.

After the Spanish fleet commander Franco, after landing ashore, he frowned slightly as he looked at the soldiers who were slowly landing.

His target this time was Tamsui Port, where Spain was preparing to occupy Tamsui Port and build a fort near the harbor to control the nearby Chinese and force them to accept the rule of the Spanish Empire.

To this end, he planned to first capture the Chinese fortress of the right-wing Chinese in Tamsui Port, then detour the connection between Tamsui Port and Tamsui Acropolis, and attack the gunboats on the water and land to capture Tamsui Port.

At this time, he was watching the soldiers landing, but a team of Spanish soldiers came over in a hurry.

The leading lieutenant came to Franco, turned over and dismounted, and saluted and reported: "Commander, we found that there were Chinese people leaving the city to rescue the Tamsui Acropolis. It is estimated that the number of people is more than 2,000!"

Franco showed a look of surprise on his face, but he didn't expect that a Chinese would dare to come and reinforce.

Franco sneered: "These Chinese people are so brave that they dare to come to rescue them. It's good that they can see the power of the Spanish soldiers and defeat them all."

In the past two years, the Spaniards have often fought with the Ming army, but they found that these Ming army were actually farmers, with poor combat effectiveness and were no match for Spanish soldiers in the field. They could only hide in the tun castle to defend.

In the wild, unless you meet tens of thousands of Chinese people, the Spanish are not afraid at all.

At this time, Zhao Ming led two thousand guards and dared to go to the Youqianhusou overnight. After the garrison in the city confirmed the reinforcements, he cheered, "It is the governor who led the troops to aid!"

The garrison troops who climbed the fort wall to prepare for defense saw the torch outside the city. Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Ming who came to support him. He was moved. The officials of the garrison troops hurried out to greet him and invited Zhao Ming into the city.

Zhao Ming did not let the army enter the city, but ordered the soldiers to camp outside the fort, waiting for the arrival of the Spanish, and ordered people to make equipment and prepare for the decisive battle.

This made the garrisons a little worried. They knew that the Spaniards were powerful and were afraid that the war soldiers would not be the opponents of the Spaniards in the wild.

That night, because reinforcements arrived, the Spaniards did not directly pounce on Soicun City after landing.

At dawn, after breakfast, the soldiers formed an army under the city.

The two thousand soldiers who followed Zhao Ming to fight today were Zhao Ming's guards, and they were elite soldiers in the Ming army in Donghai.

Zhao Ming rode a horse under the central army's flag, and the soldiers quickly formed a battle formation. There were not many people, but the front, back, left and right squadrons were clearly formed, and the flags were waving.

More than two thousand Ming soldiers arranged their formations according to their duties, with distinctive armor, long spears like forests, ripples, ripples, and shimmering cars and horses, and a stern slaughter.

The Ming sabre, shield and spear were in front, the muskets were behind, and the cavalry were running in front of the formation, raising a piece of dust.

At this time, a cavalry rushed to the central army, and the cavalry turned over and dismounted, "Report to the governor, nearly a thousand Western barbarians, five miles away!"

Not long after, several military formations appeared on the ground in the distance, the armor of the heavily armored spearmen in the formation and the spears in their hands shone silver under the oblique sunlight.

On the war horse, Zhao Ming took out a thousand-mile mirror to watch, and saw three Western barbarian formations, and the soldiers were neatly arranged and slowly advancing forward.

These Western-Japanese square formations, the spearmen in the middle, form a four-phalange array, and the spears are erected like a forest. At the four corners of the spear array, there are four small musket square formations, making the entire square formation look like a moving castle.

Three square formations came slowly, and there were artillery outside the formation, which was really both offensive and defensive.

Franco rode a horse in the middle of the square formation and saw the Ming army lined up in the distance. Seeing that the Ming army was neatly clad, it was completely different from the Ming army she met before, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhao Ming looked at the Spanish phalanx for a while, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

At this time, the Spanish army stopped one mile away from the Ming army, and seemed to have no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

Seeing that they did not move, Zhao Ming made a wait-and-see statement, immediately waved his hand and ordered decisively, "The front army attacked!"

After the military order came, the sound of the horn suddenly rose. Nearly five hundred soldiers of the front army escorted the shield cart and pressed the Spanish.

When Zhao Ming observed the Spanish phalanx, he had to admire the Spanish phalanx, which was indeed powerful.

The musketeers stand in four corners and cannons to shoot the enemy at a long range with the advantage of range of muskets and artillery. Before the enemy can rush over, they will suffer heavy casualties. When the enemy rushes over, they will face a spear formation that is as hard as a hedgehog, which can be said to be defeated.

The Spanish square formation can be said to be the nemesis of the cold weapon army, but Zhao Ming looked at it for a while and glanced at him with his forward gaze, and then he saw the shortcomings of the Spanish square formation.

Like any infantry and military formation, the Spanish formation is too thick and heavy. If there are cavalry, they will not rush to the formation and will surround them directly and wait until the flaws are revealed.

In addition, musketeers were divided into four strands. Although they could take care of all directions, they caused insufficient firepower on either side. If the musketeers were pressed up with horizontal formations and fired at gunpoint, the Spanish musketeers would definitely not be the opponent, and their spearmen would become targets.

Zhao Ming's cavalry was still in training, so he chose the second method, asking the soldiers to push the shield cart and get close to the Spanish phalanx, and then the musketeers shot from behind the shield cart and shot the Spanish musketeers and spearmen.

At this time, the five hundred Ming soldiers pushed the shield cart up, with the shield cart in front, the comb and the flintlock gunman behind, Franco opposite him sneered and waved, "Fire the cannon!"

The Spaniards unleashed a bronze cannon and ten cannons appeared on both wings of the front square formation, with five cannons on both sides, roaring at the same time.

"Bang bang bang" a few cannons, and the cannons retreated violently. When the smoke of gunpowder rose, the shells brought smoke from the gunpowder and roared out from the gunpowder, directly hitting the front army of the Ming army.

The shells fell to the ground, splashing a bunch of soil, hitting the shield cart. The shield cart exploded, and the wood chips splashed. The sword shield and the musketeer behind the cart fell down.

Seeing that Zhao Ming's muscles were twitching on his face, the Ming army also had cannons, but they were not airtight Fran cannons with very close range. This distance could not hit the Spanish square formation, while the Spanish cannons could shoot at the Ming army.

At this distance, the Ming army could only passively be shot. The Ming army soldiers continued to advance with shield chariots and continued to fall to the ground under the shelling.

"Murder shooting!" When the Ming army attacked the shelling and entered the range of the musket, Franco ordered again.

With a whistle, the two corners of the front of the square formation immediately burst into smoke from the sound of "bang bang bang" guns, and the bullets roared towards the Ming army.

At this time, in the advancing Ming army, Fran machine cannons and flintlock riflesmen pressed forward and fought back, and smoke also rose from the formation, but the firepower was obviously not as good as that of the Spanish, and the Ming soldiers kept falling on the road.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming looked gloomy and waited for the soldiers to advance to fifty steps, waiting for the contrailer to join the shooting, forming a firepower advantage.

Fifty steps arrived soon, the shield car stopped, and the contrailer immediately raised the musket, and the "bang bang" sounded, and the Ming army's front instantly filled with smoke.

Zhao Ming hurriedly picked up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile to check the results, but found that there were very few Spanish soldiers falling to the ground in front of the smoke, while the Ming army was constantly knocked down by muskets.

The Spanish muskets were powerful, and they penetrated the Ming army shield chariot and injured the Ming army bird gunner behind. The Ming army bird gunner was small, but it was difficult to penetrate the spearmen wearing heavy armored outer edges.

Zhao Ming's muscles swelled on his face, and immediately waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Send the order for the front army to retreat!"
