Seeing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty coming in like a torrent from the opposite side, the Spanish general almost screamed when he reacted.
Suddenly, a crackling sound was heard, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke filled the air. Dozens of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were carrying extremely thick shields fell down on the spot.
Even if there is a shield to block it, the effectiveness of the shield is greatly reduced when faced with the bombardment of fire cannons at close range.
Fortunately, at this time, the Ming Dynasty also responded in kind.
The use of firecrackers is almost an old tradition of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Taizu relied on a large proportion of firearms in the army to compete with the Mongolian and Yuan armies. In the Ming army, the proportion of firearms was quite high.
Under the guidance of Chu Yi, the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty naturally improved the various firearms in the Ming Army. The fire blunderbuss used almost uniformly in the Ming Army today were developed by Chu Yi's guidance and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.
pistol.
Although Chu Yi was not able to develop more advanced firearms due to various conditions, the Ming Dynasty's firearms are definitely among the best in the world.
Amidst the roaring sound of bang bang, a large number of Spanish soldiers lined up neatly on the opposite side suddenly fell.
Compared with the Ming army, which was equipped with a certain number of shield bearers for defense, the Spanish army did not have many shield bearers.
Under such circumstances, facing those deadly fire cannons, no one can resist with just flesh and blood.
The two sides shoot at each other, which is almost a competition of perseverance, but relatively speaking, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are sharper, and there is a shield as protection. Even if the shield is not very useful, at least psychologically it is more powerful than the Ming Dynasty.
The Spanish soldiers had no stronger resistance at all.
What's more important is that Daming is on the offensive side and has an absolute psychological advantage. Even if the damage is slightly greater, he can still accept it psychologically.
The Spanish side was the one under attack. Not long ago, its own fleet was destroyed outside the port. This was definitely a heavy blow to the Spanish soldiers.
It is conceivable that the morale of these soldiers is definitely low. It is already quite good if they did not mutiny and escape.
The ground shook slightly, and another group of Ming soldiers were seen rushing up from behind.
At first, they were able to hold off the Ming soldiers with a certain numerical advantage, but when they saw another group of Ming soldiers coming, these Spanish soldiers suddenly panicked.
The most terrifying thing was that when the row of Ming soldiers in front slowly separated, they saw squatting tiger cannons being pushed up one after another.
These Tiger Crouching Cannons have been improved to a certain extent, and their power has definitely increased a lot compared to before. The barrels are thickened and lengthened, and with newly installed wheels, it can be said that these Tiger Crouching Cannons are no longer Tiger Crouching Cannons, but the military
The sergeant still calls this powerful cannon the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
More than a dozen squatting tiger cannons were pushed up, and along with the flames spurting out from each cannon, broken iron and gravel flew everywhere.
Almost instantly, a large area of the Spanish queue a few feet ahead was cleared.
The screams and wails suddenly increased more than ten times compared to before.
If the exchange of fire between the two sides was brutal, at least they could bear it psychologically, but under the bombardment of the Crouching Tiger Artillery, few people could bear the tragic scene.
This horrific and miserable scene suddenly caused the psychological defense of the Spanish soldiers under attack to collapse.
When the second wave of squatting tiger artillery was unleashed again, the remaining hundreds of Spanish soldiers on the opposite side turned around and fled.
If it's really a hard fight against firepower, everyone just depends on their luck. If you shoot me, I will shoot you as well, but now.
The Ming Dynasty actually put cannons on the front line. Is this bullying them because they don't have cannons?
The most important thing is that the power of the cannon is so terrifying. When one cannon is fired, it almost sweeps across a large area.
"No escape, no one is allowed to escape, stop for me..."
A general couldn't help but roar loudly when he saw his soldiers and horses collapsed. However, this general found sadly that none of the soldiers passing by him stopped.
It can be seen from the frightened and panicked faces of these soldiers that these soldiers were really frightened. Even if he could restrain these soldiers, they would probably all be disabled.
In the Ming army, a general stroked his beard, looked coldly at the crumbling Spanish soldiers on the opposite side, and sneered: "Barbarians are barbarians, they are really vulnerable."
As he spoke, the bearded general could be heard waving his hands and saying: "Commanders, follow me and charge. Anyone who captures the opponent's general will be promoted to one rank and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
Immediately, a group of soldiers followed the bearded general and chased the collapsed Spanish soldiers.
This is just a microcosm of the port. The two sides are not just fighting in one place, but in most places, the Ming side has the upper hand and is rapidly advancing into the port.
Except for a few places guarded by heavy troops, it was almost a one-sided scene.
When the news of the loss of places reached the ears of General Levi and General Sidwen, the faces of these generals became extremely gloomy and ugly.
In their opinion, with the many soldiers and horses under their command, they were no match for the Ming fleet at sea, so they accepted it. However, if the Ming soldiers wanted to land, it would be up to them to see if they would agree.
It can be seen that these generals are still very confident in the combat effectiveness of their soldiers, but the facts show that the Ming Dynasty is not only powerful and invincible in the navy, but also incomparably powerful in infantry.
Several generals looked towards General Levi and General Sidwen.
Even a fool can realize that the port may not be able to be defended. After all, news of the loss of important areas everywhere has come. Anyone with a certain understanding of troop formations can see that the Spanish side is already in decline.
, exhausted.
Even if there were heavy troops confronting the Ming Dynasty in several other places, they could not change the outcome of the port being lost.
"General Levi, what should we do?"
General Levi's eyes were red, and he said with a ferocious look: "If you want to go to the military court, just run away. Even if I die in the Strait of Gibraltar, I will never do anything like this."
A deserter."
After saying this, General Levi strode towards the Spanish soldiers' position in front, leaving behind several generals who looked at him with complicated expressions.
One of the generals looked at General Levi's awe-inspiring look and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Madman, you want to die, don't drag everyone with you!"
"Yes, he wants to die himself, and he actually wants to drag us into the water!"
"Stop talking so much, let's run away quickly before Ming Ren comes to kill us."
"Even the Grand Duke himself escaped, why are we not allowed to escape? The Grand Duke can escape, and so can we."
In the blink of an eye, several generals turned their backs on General Levi and left, leaving only Si Dewen with a complicated expression.
As a veteran general, Si Dewen can be said to have a very high prestige in the army. If General Levi is the representative of the young men in the Spanish army, then Si Dewen is the representative of those veteran generals.
Hearing a soft sigh, Sidwen strode forward and even followed General Levi's footsteps. It was obvious that Sidwen made his own choice and did not desert like those generals.
When General Levi saw Si Dewen, he was slightly startled, with a look of surprise on his face.
In fact, General Levi also knew in his heart that the possibility of those generals staying to die was almost slim. Even General Levi had not thought that the generals could stay, so when he saw Si Dewen
, General Levi would have such a big reaction.
Noticing General Levi's expression, Si Dewen smiled slightly and said: "Levi, I will advance and retreat with you."
After saluting General Sidney, General Levi sighed and said slowly: "Long live the king, long live Spain!"
Si Dewen shouted in a deep voice: "Long live the king, long live Spain!"
Facing the Ming infantry with powerful weapons such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon, it would be difficult for the Spanish side to withstand them by relying solely on firecrackers or even bows and arrows.
Even if they temporarily blocked the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with their numerical advantage, as the Crouching Tiger Cannon was pushed up, with just a few shots, the entire team collapsed on the spot. No one had the courage to stand in front of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
With.
In a pool of blood, General Levi and General Sidwen also suffered heavy losses from Chaos Run's shelling.
Leaning on the soldier's body, General Levi, whose face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, tried hard to say to General Sidwen: "Si Dewen, thank you!"
Sidwen's chest was sunken, and blood was pouring from his mouth, but a bright light flashed in his eyes. He stared at General Levi and said slowly: "This general only wants to be clear in his heart!"
Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps coming slowly, General Levi, who was already on his deathbed, turned his head with difficulty and looked at the visitor.
I saw several figures striding over, and the person leading them was none other than Yu Dayou.
They are no strangers to Yu Dayou, General Levi, and General Si Dewen. Although they have not had any face-to-face conversations, they have had several confrontations before. With the help of telescopes, they can still recognize each other.
Yu Dayou looked at the two Spanish generals who fell in a pool of blood and nodded slightly. Just looking at the injuries on the two men, he knew that they must have been hit by the Crouching Tiger Cannon head-on. If they did not lose their lives on the spot, they would have already
It can be considered very lucky.
Standing in front of the two of them, Yu Dayou looked at them and suddenly gave a military salute to express his admiration for them.
