Chapter 694: Victory
"Tick-tick, tick-tock..."
Just when the 'rebellious' Moors were cooperating with the people led by the Crown Prince to suppress the rebellious Spanish Christians, on the battlefield outside the city, a loud bugle sounded that made all the Ming soldiers' blood boil.
The sound suddenly broke through the roar of guns and artillery, floating above the smoke-filled battlefield, and could be clearly heard even in the city.
Needless to say, this is the final decisive moment for the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force!
"The whole army charges and kills!!!"
As the charge horn sounded, which represented the final decisive battle, the Ming army soldiers who had been in an orderly manner, using blunderbuss and artillery to harvest the enemy's heads in a leisurely manner, suddenly had a happy look on their faces, and a blood color of extreme excitement. In an instant
He climbed up onto his face that was slightly blackened by gunpowder smoke.
Then, with a sonar call from the generals at all levels, the originally neat five-stage "line up to shoot" formation immediately transformed into countless mandarin duck formations with hundreds of troops as units, facing the Spanish army on the opposite side, which had collapsed.
The remnants of the army killed him.
Even the gunners who were originally operating the breech-loading naval guns behind the formation now lost their cannons and joined in the final charge.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A decisive charge does not mean that it must be a hand-to-hand battle. During the charge of the Yulin Guards and the Shenji Battalion soldiers, the crisp roar of firecrackers was still ringing, but it was not as neat as the previous 'line up to shoot'
Just make it the same.
Speaking of which, unlike the traditional charge, with the gradual completion of the military reform of the Ming Dynasty, and under the influence of the "seeds" of the Yulin Guards, the current Ming army no longer just rushes forward to kill as it did in the past.
.
Especially for troops like the Yulin Guards and the Shenji Battalion that have completed full firearms use, even for the final decisive charge, in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, the charge speed must be maintained to be able to reload bullets while traveling.
And compared with the past, the Yulin Guards and the Shenji Battalion will not directly rush into the enemy's military formation and fight with the enemy hand-to-hand, but will use grenades and firecrackers for the final decisive blow.
The portable swords they are equipped with are mostly used as tools for cutting off enemy heads.
Of course, in the process of charging, sometimes it is really inconvenient, such as the distance is too close. In order to avoid accidentally injuring teammates with firearms, this sword will also be used as a supplementary tool to kill the enemy.
"Pfft!!!"
With a soft sound, the Qi Dao, which represents one of the highest craftsmanship of folding and forging in the Ming Dynasty, turned into a silver light and flashed past the hand of Qi Zhenzong, a descendant of the Qi family.
After the sword flash, a Spanish soldier wearing plate armor seemed to have no effect at all, and he was directly cut into two pieces with his sword. The blood spurted out, and then
He was splashed all over his face without hesitation.
In an instant, Qi Zhenzong, who was covered in blood, immediately transformed into a blood-soaked Shura, frightening the already demoralized Spanish troops around him to tremble with fear.
"thump!"
Just as Qi Zhenzong raised his bloody sword again, a series of sounds of knees falling to the ground were heard, and the Spanish soldiers around him couldn't help but scream and dropped their spears.
He knelt down with his hands raised.
As for why there are no gunmen, I'm sorry, that was the key target. Before the Ming army launched the general offensive, they were almost wiped out.
"whispering sound!"
After a cold snort of disdain, Qi Zhenzong did not continue to slash with the sword in his hand. Instead, he led his personal guards past these surrendered troops and continued to chase the remaining defeated troops under the blood-red sunset.
…
"Hahahaha, I finally lived up to the military order of the Marquis, so happy!"
Seeing the large amounts of broken wood and boards floating in front of them, Chen Lin, Deng Zilong and other officers of the Royal Navy could not help but cheer loudly.
Just as Wang Bing led the Yulin Guards and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to launch the final charge, the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty had already completed the task of annihilating the enemy.
The Spanish "Invincible" fleet led by Alonso Perez was now reduced to pieces of wood and floating in the Bay of Cadiz, where the Guadalquivir River estuary is.
At this point, except for the ships in the New World and other colonies, Spain's home fleet is basically completely destroyed at this moment. There is no longer any maritime power in Spain that can pose a potential threat to the Ming army!
"General, shall we save these Xiyi ghosts?"
After laughing, looking at the surviving Spanish Navy soldiers struggling in the sea, all the generals turned their attention to the commander-in-chief, Chen Lin.
"Forget it, let's rescue them all. These Spanish navy officers are also bloody men!"
Nodding in appreciation, Chen Lin, an experienced killer, did not order the surviving Spanish navy to be shot, but instead ordered the Royal Navy to start rescuing people.
Speaking of which, in order to prevent the Spanish navy from taking the opportunity to escape when the situation was bad, Deng Zilong specially led people to outflank the enemy and cut off the enemy's retreat.
What they didn't expect was that with Alonso Perez personally leading the charge, none of the Spanish fleet retreated this time. They all fought until the last moment, until the battleship sank or collapsed.
Therefore, even though they were very angry about the Spaniards' massacre of Han people in Luzon, and even though the Spanish navy's selfless charge caused certain casualties to themselves, they still won the respect of Chen Lin and other soldiers.
Therefore, after the naval battle, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty Royal Navy "named" the surviving Spanish navy in the sea. They used their bravery to win themselves the respect that soldiers deserve.
However, as the saying goes, a raging soldier will make a den of raging enemies! Compared with the Spanish navy, which was led by veteran Alonso Perez, who was extremely brave and fought to the last moment, the army led by Duke Lerma was even more powerful.
The performance seemed very unsatisfactory.
After Wang Bing led the army to launch the final decisive charge, Duke Lerma, as the commander-in-chief, not only did not play the leading role like Alonso Perez, but was the first to flee the battlefield.
Therefore, when the coach is the first to flee for his life, who will fight to the death?
Therefore, compared to the naval battle of the Royal Navy, the final battle between the Habayashi Guards and the Shenji Battalion was much easier.
"Damn, he ran pretty fast. The Shenji Battalion is left to collect the prisoners, and we will clean the battlefield tomorrow. The rest will follow me back to the city first!"
After listening to the screams coming from the city and looking at the already late morning sky, Wang Bing gave up on pursuing the defeated Spanish troops and turned around with the Yulin Guards to fight back to Seville.
city.
