As soon as the soldiers from both sides came into contact, the famous Spanish Grand Square was defeated in just an instant.
Like the ebbing tide, the Spanish soldiers collapsed very quickly, exposing their broad backs to resist the bayonets of the Liberation Army.
The soldiers of the Liberation Army launched a thrilling chase!
The cry of killing resounded throughout the battlefield!
Ma Xin could not sit still and ordered Zheng Jun to attack.
If he waits any longer, the battlefield will be decided.
"Attack!"
Ma Xin gave an order, whipped the horse under his crotch, and charged forward.
The Zheng army he brought was like two torrents, outflanking each other and rushing towards the rear of the Spaniards.
As Zheng Jun joined the battlefield, the balance of victory completely tipped to the side of the Liberation Army!
"Fight back!"
"Fight back!"
The Spaniards were unwilling to accept defeat, and their officers continued to command the army to resist.
Zhu Hongyu beat the drums himself, the war drums sounded low, and waves of charging horns sounded from all over the battlefield.
The Liberation Army began to cooperate with the Zheng Army who was encircling and outflanking, and launched a full-scale counterattack!
The cry of killing resounded across the battlefield!
The artillery is still roaring!
Surrounded by the Zheng Army and the Guangfu Army, a large number of enemy troops abandoned their armor and turned around to flee.
In the vast wilderness, there are figures of defeated soldiers everywhere!
The Spanish soldiers threw away their muskets and turned around to run. Unfortunately, they could not run as fast as the natives, and in the blink of an eye they were left behind by the natives.
Those mercenaries who are paid to do things are more straightforward. If there is no winner in the war, then they will be paid to do things and be done with it. There is nothing to say.
But now that they have been defeated, they surrender even more simply!
Throwing away the weapon, he knelt down on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and spoke in broken Chinese.
"I surrender, don't kill me!"
"..."
In this era, Chinese is the unquestionable universal language in the entire East Asian Confucian cultural circle.
These mercenaries come from countries such as Annan, Japan, and it is normal for them to speak Chinese.
At this time, Ma Xin personally led the cavalry into the battlefield.
The two hundred cavalrymen of the Zheng army were like sharp swords, killing the Spanish troops who were fleeing across the mountains and plains.
As the cavalry galloped forward, they drew their sabers and slaughtered the defeated troops.
Ma Xin held his saber across his side, and the horse galloped past. The saber became extremely sharp with the speed.
With a pop, the war horse passed by a broken Spanish soldier wearing an officer's uniform, and a human head was thrown away.
The headless corpse fell to the ground!
Two hundred cavalrymen kept galloping and driving among the Spanish troops. The horses passed by, and people were constantly beheaded.
Some people were even split in half by a sharp saber, with internal organs pouring out of the wound and blood spraying out.
The war horse collided with the Spanish soldier, and the Spanish soldier was knocked away.
The man rolled several times in the air and landed on the ground, vomiting blood and looking like he was dead.
A Zheng army soldier was extremely brave. He ran past on horseback and several Spanish soldiers were pierced in a string by their spears.
The cavalry, which came and went like the wind, kept galloping and slashing in the rout. They quickly adjusted their formations, divided and surrounded the Spaniards, and then defeated them one by one.
The cavalry versus the infantry, especially the infantry who have lost their organization and fighting courage after a rout, is simply a one-sided massacre.
Of course, if the enemy was not defeated, Ma Xin would never dare to lead the cavalry to attack the enemy's infantry formation.
It is extremely stupid to use cavalry to attack the tightly formed infantry formation!
A cavalryman is much more valuable than an infantryman.
Including the cost of war horses and training, even if one cavalry can be used in exchange for ten infantry on the battlefield, it will still be a loss of blood.
The real power of cavalry is when it is used to harass the battlefield or to chase down defeated troops after the war!
When the enemy infantry loses organization and resistance, it is the best time for the cavalry to come in and reap the rewards.
The entire battlefield was filled with shouts of death and cheers!
The Liberation Army and the Zheng Army launched charges one after another, constantly harvesting and killing the defeated Spanish troops.
However, not everyone collapsed, there were still some who were resisting.
A group of Spaniards formed a formation, abandoned their muskets, brandished swords and spears, and withstood the volleys of musketry and bayonet charges from the Liberation Army.
They are still resisting and are unwilling to accept the fate of defeat!
"Hold it! Hold it!"
“The glory of God shines upon Spain!”
"We will not lose! Fight for God!"
"..."
Because many of the Spanish soldiers who were thrown into the resistance were devout Catholic believers.
Some people even prayed loudly to God while fighting. With the support of religious beliefs, they continued to fight.
Zhu Hongyu put on armor for himself, mounted the war horse given to him by Ma Xin, and rode toward the Spaniards who were still resisting.
The entire Liberation Army was led by Zhu Hongyu, their morale was greatly boosted, and they launched another charge.
Amid Zhu Hongyu's passionate shouts, the battle became more intense.
The group of Spaniards who were still resisting were quickly wiped out!
The flag representing Zhu Hongyu's identity has been flying high on the front line of the battle from beginning to end.
He leapt into the enemy formation, charging and killing without mercy, slashing with the long knife in his hand, and drank the blood of the enemy!
Even the Zheng army's morale was boosted and they launched a charge towards the Spaniards.
In the successive charges of the Liberation Army and the Zheng Army, the last resistance of the Spaniards was wiped out.
The battlefield turned into a Shura hell!
Countless corpses almost covered the entire battlefield.
From the fighting in the morning until the sun was about to set, this battle was finally over.
Seventy or eighty percent of the white Spanish soldiers were killed, and the rest dropped their weapons and surrendered.
The mountains and plains are full of surrendered prisoners of war!
Zhu Hongyu kicked over an empty powder keg, sat down on it, took off his heavy helmet, and forgot to glance at the direction of the setting sun, feeling deep fatigue well up.
Everywhere on the battlefield was red, I don't know if it was the color of blood or dyed red by the setting sun.
The blood gathered into a stream, flowed on the ground, mixed with the soil, and turned into blood mud.
There are broken limbs and broken corpses everywhere!
A living hell on earth!
Ma Xinshen came to Zhu Hongyu's side one step at a time, found an empty powder keg and sat down, and then spoke.
"We won the battle in St. Jones. In the decisive battle in Luzon, I, the Ming Dynasty, won more than half of it."
"What happens next depends on how the battle goes on Lingayen's side!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.
"It should be fine. Lin Jiayan has Weiyuan City here. No matter how bad things get, there is no problem in protecting himself!"
"The worst thing we can do is work harder here and use up all our strength to capture Manila!"
Zhu Hongyu had already anticipated the Spanish sneak attack on Lingayen.
In other words, Lingayen was the flaw he deliberately exposed to the Spaniards!
Lingayen was on the coast, knowing full well that his sea power was limited and that the Spaniards might threaten Lingayen's safety from the sea. Zhu Hongyu also wanted to focus the military government's operations on Lingayen.
There must be a reason!
He is not stupid, of course he has already planned it!
