Chapter 25 Night Attack (2)(1/2)

Gil'an was so amused and crying about this.

What courage did these Ming troops recklessly launch a sneak attack on the Spanish army?

Do these Ming people really think that they can attack the Spanish army with heavy rain like the Philippine natives attacking Mingcheng by heavy rain?

If it was the past, the heavy rain made the army's firearms unable to be used, so launching a raid can indeed turn defeat into victory.

But I led a field army equipped with flintlock smoothbore guns!

"It seems that I overestimated these wise men." Gil'an smiled bitterly, then suddenly looked cold and said,

"Order the musketeers to assemble, and the spears cover the front and the two wings."

With Gil'an's orders, the Spanish soldiers in the nearby camp gathered urgently.

A large number of Spanish musketeers, under the command of the lieutenant, walked out of the camp with their flintlock smoothbore rifles.

They gathered in front of the main tent, the canvas tent was isolated from the rain, and the Spanish musketeers calmly filled with gunpowder.

And beside them, a Spanish spearman in a bracelet wearing plate armor was guarding them.

Thunder rolls in,

The fighting sounded more and more intense. Finally, the Spanish forefront troops could not resist the defeat and retreated.

Hundreds of Ming soldiers rushed over from the outside of the camp in the heavy rain.

At this moment, it was only a few dozen steps away from the musket team led by Gil'an.

With these dozens of steps, the musket team was able to load and fire once, and Jill was thinking silently.

"Order the spearmen to remove the guards and surround the enemy's wings." Gil'an suddenly issued such an order, which made the adjutant scream.

"Col. This does not comply with the field battle regulations." The adjutant looked at Jillan incredibly, who suddenly changed his combat orders in front of him.

"Prince, I don't need you to teach me the field battle regulations." Gil'an scolded.

The spearmen who had not yet gathered on both sides rushed towards the wings of the Ming army in panic.

Gil'an suddenly remembered something very important when he did this.

The Spanish artillery is still in the hills,

Because the artillery was too heavy, six scattered artillery and dozens of artillery soldiers were all on the hill not far away.

If the Ming army dares to attack their camps, they will inevitably attack the artillery soldiers on the hills.

So he must now wipe out the invading Ming army and immediately support Qiudi.

With the cumbersome loading, the musketeers could not quickly annihilate this Ming army. The spearmen must be surrounded by two wings in order to annihilate the Ming army in the shortest time.

With a round of shooting of musketeers, it should be able to scare these wise people, right?

Jillan looked at the Ming army step by step, and Jill breathed a sigh of relief.

But in an instant, Jillan's face that had just relaxed was frozen.

Lightning flashes,

With the lightning, Jieran seemed to see the Ming soldiers rushing towards him holding the big sword and spear that were not expected, as if they were holding the big sword and spear in their hands.

It's a musket!

"Boom!"

A thick thunder and lightning streaked across the night sky,

Sparks bloom in the rain...

The Spanish soldier's eyes widened in horror.

Several bullet holes appeared on their bodies inexplicably, and blood and rain gathered down.

Jillan was stunned,

The Spanish musketeers present were also stunned.

Why can the Ming army use muskets on rainy days?

"Oh no," Jillan's face turned pale.

The first association of Shenji Camp is naturally the one who attacks the Spanish musketeers' defense line.

These days, the Fireworks Department worked overtime and then made more than 20 self-generated muskets.

Now the Ming army has more than forty self-produced muskets,

When attacking the Spanish musketeers' defense line, more than 30 self-generated muskets were successfully launched.

In an instant, more than 20 Spanish musketeers overturned the first queue.

"Kill!"

Liu Yu, who was rushing to the front, shouted,

Behind the First Association, the long sword soldiers who had already prepared swarmed out and rushed towards the musketeers with chaos in the formation.

"Kill a Folang Jiman and reward 20 taels of silver." Liu Yu shouted.

"kill!"

"Kill these red barbarians." For a moment, the Ming army's killing sound was shocked, and its momentum even overshadowed the rumbling thunder. Even the Spanish spearmen surrounding him were frightened.

Under the command of Gil'an, the Spanish musketeers gathered more than fifty people. The Ming army shot and killed about twenty musketeers for the first time.

With the cover of Shenji Camp, Liu Quan personally led 50 long sword soldiers less than twenty steps away from the Spanish musketeers.

The Spanish musketeers who had already been prepared for a round of volleys were already panicked and lost the cover of the spearmen.

At this moment, the Spanish musketeers who had loaded the ammunition had to open fire at the Ming soldiers indiscriminately.

The Ming army rushed towards the musketeers with a vine shield. Although eight or nine Ming soldiers were shot in the face and fell to the ground in the torso, the musketeers' threat was nothing more than that.

"No, hurry, grenade!" Gil'an shouted.

"Col. It's too heavy for the grenade fuse leads used by the grenades cannot be ignited." The adjutant reminded.

"I lost, the musketeers company was gone." Jill'an's mind was blank at this time.

The Spanish musketeers had already fled around.

Although musketeers at this time could also use bayonets to stuff them into the gun and fight with the Ming army in close combat, with the Ming army's fierce technique, these musketeers soon collapsed and fled everywhere.

The musketeers themselves rely on flintlock guns to shoot invading enemy troops under the protection of the spearmen. If the enemy forces take the first round of shooting and kill them, they will be close to the musketeers.

The spearmen blocked the opponent's attack, and the musketeers under the protection of the spearmen quickly loaded ammunition again to shoot and kill the enemy again.

Jillan miscalculated,

He did not expect that Liu Yu deliberately did not show off the Shenji Camp during the war in the city today, which caused Jier's wife to mistakenly believe that the Ming army only had a coercion gun, and that the Ming army could not use firearms to fight the enemy on rainy days.

The arrogant Jillan immediately ordered the spearmen to siege him,

The Spanish musketeers who lost the protection of the spearmen were beaten by the Shenji Battalion led by Liu Yu for a time difference. They fired before the Spanish musketeers had loaded them. The long sword soldiers led by Liu Quan behind them were only twenty steps away from the musketeers.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At such a close distance, I naturally suffered a great loss in the face of the impact of the Ming army.

For the Ming army, the musketeer, who was the most threatening, was killed by the Ming army under Liu Yu's forbearance and Jier's conceit.

Gil'an was still stunned on the side, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"How could these Orientals have flintlock guns, who sold them, Portuguese, English…"

"Also, why didn't they use it when facing the attack of the native Philippine attack today?" Gil'an's mouth twitched and he said incoherently.

"School officer, the Ming people rushed over." The adjutant beside him pulled the commander who was shocked by a round of shooting in the Ming army, and he was stunned.

Commanding the company of grenadiers who were left behind, said:

"You are here to cover and stop the enemy from continuing to attack."

The grenade commander on the side nodded.

Commanding his subordinates to form a line of defense,

To talk about grenades,

It is a kind of Western military characteristic.

Choose the best arm strength in the army,

Responsible for throwing explosives such as grenades. The so-called grenade is a hollow metal spherical body that is filled with black gunpowder.

It has a good effect on siege battles and resisting the impact of the opponent's cavalry.

However, this type of military also has limitations, such as rainy days.

The heavy rain extinguished the fire rope,

They can't use their specialty skills.

Southeast Asia is abnormally humid, especially when heavy rains,

Both the Ming army and the Spanish had strict moisture-proof specifications for gunpowder.
