"Maybe we should fight Akito first to let them see our power!"
"In this way, we can negotiate with Akito!"
Everyone looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
He was a man with a dark build, narrow cheeks, but very lively eyes.
His name is Lone Wolf. He once followed Colonel Robin into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Liberation Army. He is a Pampanga warrior with extremely rich escape experience!
He was there when the Spaniards first entered the mountains to encircle and suppress the Liberation Army!
He basically participated in several wars that followed!
As a result, after so many wars, the battlefields were littered with corpses, but he was stunned that nothing happened.
Escape experience is quite rich!
…
After leaving Zhenyuan City, Li Guangyuan also dismounted.
Instead of continuing on horseback, he marched on two legs with the soldiers of the Liberation Army.
The Liberation Army now has one or two hundred horses, some of which were given to Zhu Hongyu by Zheng Jun, and the rest were captured from the Spanish after the surrender of Manila.
What Li Guangyuan is holding is a tall, shiny, and muscular Indian fold-eared horse.
It was the mount of Governor Barossa. After it was captured by the Liberation Army, Zhu Hongyu rewarded it to Li Guangyuan.
This horse's appearance, shoulder height, explosive power, and load-bearing capacity are all very good. The only flaw is that it is too delicate and difficult to maintain.
They have to eat eggs for every meal and feed them special fodder, and their ability to adapt to the climate is not very good.
If one of them fails, he will die!
It's fine for displaying at home, but if it's used on the battlefield, it's far less practical than a Mongolian horse that's sturdy and durable.
At least the Mongolian horses, which are strong and durable, can eat grass instead of horse feed and run thousands of miles in battle.
On the battlefield, the most that a broken-eared horse can do is charge head-on.
Many flexible cavalry tactics cannot be used!
This is also the reason why the West was able to develop the wall-type cavalry charge tactic.
Because of tactics such as long-distance raids, harassing and flying kites, their horses cannot do it!
In the distance, a cavalryman from the Liberation Army rushed back and came to Li Guangyuan to report.
"Urgent military information, urgent military information, an indigenous army was found five miles ahead!"
Hearing this, Li Guangyuan, who was leading the horse, suddenly showed a solemn look on his face and ordered.
"The entire army is on alert and ready to engage the enemy!"
The Liberation Army adjusted its formation on the spot and quickly changed from a marching formation to a formation for engaging the enemy.
In just a few minutes, the well-trained Liberation Army formed a three-row infantry array without any confusion.
The soldiers pointed their guns forward and were ready to fire.
Several field artillery were placed behind the infantry array, and the artillerymen loaded the artillery skillfully.
Except for the Liberation Army who lined up to shoot and prepare to engage the enemy, the remaining Liberation Army formed an array around the artillery position to protect the safety of the artillery position.
Li Guangyuan put on his plate armor, got on his horse, and looked towards the direction of the indigenous army.
Gradually, a dense black shadow appeared at the end of the horizon.
The natives were naked to the waist, shouting at the top of their lungs, and like a wave, they rushed toward the Liberation Army array with great momentum.
These natives have no combat experience and do not understand that charging requires skills.
At the beginning, you should walk at most quickly, and then change from brisk walking to trotting after you get within a certain range of the enemy.
When the two sides are tens of meters apart, it's time to charge with all your strength!
Only in this way can we ensure that we have enough physical strength to face the enemy in battle.
Like the charging method of the Pampanga natives, they charged with all their strength from a long distance.
It does look amazing!
But when they ran a few hundred meters at full sprint speed and rushed in front of the Liberation Army, how many of them had the physical strength to fight?
"Prepare to engage the enemy!"
"Prepare to engage the enemy!
"
The Liberation Army responded quickly, and the Musketeers slightly adjusted their formation.
Each musket is aimed forward!
"fire!"
When the Pampanga natives rushed four hundred meters in front of the Liberation Army's formation, the Liberation-1 field artillery in the artillery position opened fire.
The dull sound of artillery sounded, and dense clouds of shotshells fell towards the formation of the Liberation Army as if they were free.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The shotgun carries terrifying kinetic energy and penetrates the human body easily.
There were bursts of blood mist!
The battlefield is filled with smoke and the smell of blood is overwhelming.
Boom! Boom!
The next moment, the Liberation Army's artillery fired again.
Amidst the dull sound of cannons, another round of shotgun blasts swept towards the Pampanga people.
Finally, after two rounds of shelling, the Pampanga people rushed into the area thirty meters in front of the Liberation Army's formation.
Li Guangyuan swung down the command knife he raised high.
"put!"
Three rows of Liberation Army soldiers pulled the trigger together.
boom!
The sound of hundreds of muskets firing in unison even drowned out the roar of the artillery.
The lead bullets were fired densely at the enemy in front of him!
A large piece of the Pampanga people in the front row fell down like wheat.
In the thick smoke, countless people fell to the ground!
Screams and wails sounded one after another!
The next moment, the grenadiers in the array threw wooden handle grenades one after another.
The grenades cut across arcs and fell towards the Pampanga people.
The wooden-handled grenade landed in the crowd of Pampanga people and exploded with a loud bang.
Debris swept around, taking away lives one after another.
Fire and smoke engulfed everything, and within a certain range of the grenade's impact point, no one was alive in an instant.
The next moment, the loud and piercing sound of the charge horn resounded across the battlefield.
Tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tack...
After firing volleys at close range, the Liberation Army launched a bayonet charge.
"kill!"
Amidst the shouts of killing, the sharp bayonets formed a wall of knives and advanced forward.
At this moment, the lone wolf leading the charge in the crowd felt a familiar feeling again.
That's right, that kind of feeling that always occurs before defeat comes to mind again.
Before the lone wolf had time to respond, facing the neat bayonet charge of the Liberation Army, the Pampanga natives who had been so aggressive just now collapsed!
Throw away your weapons, turn around and run away!
Thousands of Pampanga natives were being chased by hundreds of liberation troops, howling and screaming.
Exposing their backs to the bayonets of the Liberation Army!
Obviously their number was several times that of the Liberation Army, but no one dared to turn around and resist.
In the endless wilderness, countless Pampanga natives were running helplessly.
The expressions on every face are full of fear and fear from the bottom of their hearts!
Li Guangyuan shouted loudly.
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
"..."
The Liberation Army began to pursue the defeated Pampanga natives.
Pampanga's defeated troops were everywhere in the mountains and plains.
Due to the exhaustion of their physical strength during the initial charge, many Pampanga soldiers could not even escape.
After running a few steps, he collapsed on the ground helplessly, with an expression on his face full of fear!
However, before he could raise his hands to surrender, the next moment, a bayonet pierced his throat.
Li Guangyuan got on his horse, drew out his command sword, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and charged towards the Pampanga natives amidst the roar of the war horse.
