‘Every tactic is not perfect. Even if it was once invincible, it could only remain strong for a certain historical period. With the advancement of military technology, the old tactics will not only fail, but the strong points that were originally proud of may become fatal flaws that lead to failure.’

——Zhao Hao "Tactical Changes in the Era of Alternating Cold and Cold Weapons"

The spearmen in the Spanish phalanx formed a dense formation to fight the impact of the cavalry and stabilize defense. The responsible person was a rifle company with more than half of the troops. The two light and heavy convex guns, combined with well-trained backward shooting, can generate powerful and lasting firepower, enough to suppress all infantry in this era.

In fact, the power of the mezzanine is very impressive. Even the thick plate armor still cannot withstand the projectiles shot by "Muschket"! The biggest problem is that the rate of fire is slow, and the ballistic trajectory of the round projectile is random, and the hit rate is urged to urinate.

Therefore, musketeers must also use dense formations and intensive shooting, and achieve miracles based on large quantities.

But even military strategists of this era know that the biggest disadvantage of dense formations is that they are afraid of artillery bombardment!

However, the artillery of this era is very bulky and cannons cannot be used in field combat. Small cannons that can fight in field are very limited in power and range. Moreover, after one shot, the recoil will push the cannon body back away from the cannon position. Not only will the soldiers have to push it back to its original position, but they also have to re-aim. The resilience period between the two shots is too long! In front of the Spanish formation with sufficient mobility, if there is no more shots, it will enter the range of the heavy musket.

This is the secret of the Spanish phalanx dominating the world!

But they met Zhao Hao today, and Zhao Hao, who had been preparing for this battle for more than two months.

Faced with the Spanish phalanx, which is known as the world's number one, Zhao Gongzi's ancestral phobia of insufficient firepower inevitably broke out. Because he was worried that the field guns were insufficient, he actually removed more than 100 cannons from the warship and arranged them on the position!

You know, the weight of a Yongle cannon car is more than one ton, which is definitely a nightmare for transport personnel!

The original wooden wharf was overwhelmed. The Logistics Department specially built a permanent wharf, installed two Popeye cranes, and paved a high-standard gravel road. It took a lot of effort to transport the naval guns to the position.

All efforts are for this moment, don’t be short of firepower!

Uh. It seems to be a bit too strong...

Hundreds of heavy artillery roared together, and the earth shook again!

The grape bullets and shotguns sprayed out by orange flames were like pear blossoms, instantly covering the first Spanish formation in front of the formation.

The heavy convex raiders in the front row were directly bombed by countless grapes as big as Giant Peak grapes, which were blown to pieces.

The grape bullets were just like passing through a piece of paper, and the castration was not reduced at all. They were behind them, waiting for shooting, and the soldiers in the second row, the third row, the fourth row, and the fifth row of soldiers—all the way through!

Amid the earth-shaking explosion, the spearmen in the formation just blinked and saw the thick musketeers in front of the formation, all turned into flying flesh and blood. The internal organs and broken bones splashed all over the sky, spraying their heads and faces. Many spearmen were hit by broken bones and were seriously injured, but they still gritted their teeth and stood up.

The belief of "Spanish phalanx is invincible in the world" allows them to overcome all fears and enemies and become the masters of the world! With such a little pain, how can they fall down easily?

~~

On the artillery position on the other side of the river.

The fired artillery was pushed back by the damn recoil, which is a technical problem that Zhao Hao cannot solve at present... Hydraulic technology cannot be obtained by tiptoeing.

But the wisdom of the coast guard officers and soldiers is infinite. They piled a small earth slope behind the cannon truck. In this way, after the cannon fires, they will suddenly bring the wheeled cannon truck to the height of the earth slope.

After the recoil is exhausted, the cannon truck rushed downhill under gravity. When it hits the buffered sandbag, it stops and automatically returns to the cannon position.

This not only saves the time for manpower resetting, but also does not require repeated correction of the gun position, and can basically accurately shoot fixed targets in a short period of time.

It can be said that it is very clever, and it can be done as long as there is a shovel. Although it cannot be used on the ship, this method is still highly praised by Zhao Hao, and ordered the gun group who came up with this method to record the first-class collective merit, and the "kinetic energy conversion and reset method" is loaded into the operating script.

Therefore, at least at this time, the coast guard's artillery did not respond to the recurrence!

Soon, the second shot, the third shot... one shot after another, and it seemed that it was firing again and again without stopping!

The entire battlefield was filled with smoke, and nothing could be seen for a moment, only the sound of cannons and screams were endless.

Everyone was stunned. The delegates who accompanied Zhao Hao to watch the battle on the rear observation deck were all stunned.

During the battle in the stream more than two months ago, they were only grateful to the coast guards and the gods who came to earth to rescue them in time.

In the past two months, they have been able to realize that the coast guard officers and soldiers who strictly abide by the "three major disciplines and eight precautions" are completely different from those old-style troops that are no different from bandits. They occasionally have the idea of ​​"whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

But it was not until this moment that they completely surrendered to Zhao Hao. Because absolute power would crush all unrealistic fantasies, people quickly recognize reality...

This time, they felt extremely intuitive, clear and shockingly that the power of heaven and earth mastered by the coast guard forces can be completely destroyed and stormed the world, establish a Chinese regime overseas, and defend its security!

They were excitedly shouting "Luzon Dangxing" and "Mountains and Rivers Away Zhao". Unfortunately, Zhao Hao's ears were buzzing and he could not hear anything.

~~

When the sea breeze blew away the thick smoke, the Spanish in the two square formations behind were thrillingly discovered that the first square formation of more than one thousand people, only more than one hundred people were still standing.

In just a few rounds of artillery fire, nearly 900 Spanish officers and soldiers were taken away...

Such terrible lethality is completely unheard of. The Spanish phalanx is like hitting a stone with an egg, completely vulnerable!

This scene was so unreal that it made the Spaniard feel like a nightmare. The officers and soldiers of the latter two square formations did not realize that some solid shells fell into their formation, like huge rocks rolling through the mountains and forests, leaving long traces of flesh and blood...

The Spanish officers and soldiers who survived the first formation were even more stunned. They were covered with broken limbs and blood, as if they were in a slaughterhouse.

At this time, the spear in his hand was no longer a weapon to kill the enemy, but a crutch that supported their bodies and was not defeated by fear.

"O my God..." Franco, the chief priest behind the formation, rode on the horse, and felt the saddle was wet. It turned out that he was urinated without realizing it.

He was not a coward, otherwise he would not have crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to preach in the Philippines. But he was knocked down by the fear of the moment.

"It and its messengers were all thrown from heaven to the ground..." Father Franco held the cross in his hand, and said in a nervous voice:

"So this giant dragon is the ancient snake, also known as the devil or Satan..."

Colonel Soldo was not much better. Under the black shawl, his hand holding a slender sword was trembling. He had also participated in the Holy coalition forces in Europe that resisted the pagans.

But compared with these terrifying Ming people, the Ottomans were no different from the indigenous people who threw stones...

Boom boom boom, there was another round of volleys across the river, and only a few standing soldiers were left in the first formation.

They finally collapsed completely, and turned around and ran away while crying, but their feet were weak and weak. They had no strength? After being tripped by the broken limbs all over the ground, they fell and rolled and crawled in a pool of blood, and made a creepy sound of crying and laughing in their mouths, as if they were broken.

At this time, the Ming people saw that grape bullets and shotguns could not cause substantial damage to the two square arrays, so they replaced the solid shells and adjusted the artillery firing angle to seek a longer range.

Soon, the landing point of the shell extended to the two square arrays behind.

The Spanish officers and soldiers were frightened. They were eager for honor and were not afraid of death in battle, but no one wanted to be slaughtered like mowed grass!

It is only because behind each square formation, there is a military police officer leading six military police to supervise the formation, and those who escaped before the formation can kill them, so they can barely maintain the formation.

There were constant shells falling into the formation, and each shell could take away the lives of seven or eight soldiers...

The second formation leader Gonzalez came to Colonel Soldo and loudly reminded him to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.

"We were ambushed by the enemy, and the terrain was too bad for us!" Gonzalez shouted with red eyes: "Otherwise, the second, the third formation will follow in the footsteps of the first formation!"

Soldo nodded with difficulty and had to swallow the bitter fruit.

"The whole army turned around half a circle!" Gonzalez immediately turned around and shouted at the command.

All Spanish officers and soldiers were as if they were amnesty and immediately turned backwards, and the back formation turned into front formation!

"Go ahead!" Gonzalez shouted again.

The Spaniards never retreat and are always moving forward!

It's just that sometimes it's just moving towards the path when it comes...

~~

The Spaniards turned into the wind, threw down more than a thousand corpses, and soon left the range of artillery fire.

Mr. Zhao gave a pop, took off a pair of earplugs of Eucommia Gluten, and said to Jin Ke: "Some people say that one of the important indicators is the performance of this army when it leaves the battlefield."

"Yes, the difference between retreat and escape can reflect the organization and resilience of an army." Jin Ke also gave a pop and opened a bottle of Yilan soda for the young master: "This is the inner temperament of an army, something in the category of 'element, energy, and spirit'. From this point of view, the Spanish army is indeed much stronger than the Ming army."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, it's not as good as the Qi family's army, nor even our Marines."

Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing, and took a sip of the lychee-flavored soda with a rich bubble and said: "What do you mean, are we stronger than the Qi family army?"

"Of course." Jin Ke said as if he had a look of course: "What are the conditions for the Qi family army? What are our conditions? They are far from each other. We have been in the army for so many years, and we can't be better than the blue ones. We should go home to grow sweet potatoes."

"Hahaha, OK! Brother Jin, who has always been cautious, may not be wrong to say this." Zhao Hao smiled when he heard this, but his smile was a little tight. He raised the soda bottle to the northeast and said:

"I hope Wuda and the others can prove that you are right."
