East Factory Governor

Chapter 803 Come and be happy
When these Portuguese soldiers saw that the Ming army had arrived, they chose to surrender without saying a word.

Only the officer still wanted to resist.

In fact, if he is smart enough, he should run away when he is discovered by the Ming army, so that the entire army will not be wiped out.

But the rigid chivalry told him that he had promised the governor to stick to this hill, even if he died, he must die here.

It can be seen that the ridicule of chivalry in "Don Quixote" is not groundless, and this spirit is still affecting Europeans until this era-but you can't deny that perhaps it is this spirit that guides them to expand their territories and create a golden era. What about the age of great navigation?

Meng Hu was annoyed that he came here in vain, when he saw that there was someone who was not open, he grinned on the spot, then pulled out his treasured sword and jumped over, slashing his throat with one knife.

The officer stood up.

The battle is over.

Lai San'er's troops only suffered more than fifty casualties, but basically wiped out 400 of the opponent's troops!

One to eight, sounds like an unbelievable casualty ratio, but if you look closely at each step, it is so normal.

Who made you wear cotton armor, who made you form a dense array, who made you meet a Ming army with two thunderbolts and a strong crossbow?

In addition, who gave you the courage to fight hand-to-hand with others if you disagree?
……

Chen Jing's side was similar, and before Meng Wei's troops arrived, they had already defeated the opponent.

But the creeping army on his side ran fast, and ran away when there were more than 200 people left. Chen Jing and Meng Wei had to chase and kill them. After chasing for three or four miles, they came back and wiped out more than 100 people.

The Ming army was victorious, and morale was overwhelming.

Cooperating with the red-haired ghosts who are so ungrateful, I really don't understand how they dare to travel all the way here to become uncles.

Based on this calculation, isn't my Ming Dynasty invincible?

It feels like Lao Tzu is number one in the world.

After a short rest, the army moved on.

Now Nelson has just over [-] people in his hands, all nestled in the Governor's Mansion and preparing to defend it to the death.

So Zhang Xiao's army drove straight in and easily reached the Governor's Mansion.

The Governor's Mansion is a castle-like building common in Europe. With the Governor's mansion as the center, various buildings spread out around it. The outside is a solid stone wall. There are round archery towers at the four corners of the city wall. Crossbowmen, musketeers, and artillery.

But it was late at night.

After Zhang Xiao ordered the whole army to surround the castle, he rested in place, and then buried the pot with an open fire to cook.

Piles of bonfires were lit outside the city, stretching across a large area, and the Ming army set up camp without any scruples, eating and drinking.

Arrogant to the limit.

The bonfire went up and down, dotted with dots, as if beckoning to the prowling army at the top of the city.

Come and be merry!

The creeping troops stationed in the city could only stare blankly.

Dare to have a good time?

Nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses are waiting for you, and you only have two thousand people. Who is happy and who is happy?

When the Ming army was cooking, there was a small episode.

A creeping army came from the south to reinforce the Governor's Mansion, about 800 people, and all of them were heavy cavalry, which can be said to be the main force of the main force of the creeping army.

When they saw sparks everywhere around the castle where the Governor's Mansion was located in the dark night, they immediately thought that the Ming army had arrived.

The commander of this creeping army is very smart, thinking that if this is the case, then he can ambush here, and then kill them by surprise when they attack the city.

So he ordered his subordinates to retreat five miles immediately, and when they reached a forest, the whole army dismounted and hid in place, and then waited and watched.

The place where he ambush is at least six or seven miles away from the castle of the governor's mansion, and it is dark again, so it can be said to be very safe.

But even if the commander was killed, the Ming army had already discovered them two quarters of an hour ago.

Westerners would not have imagined that the alert range of the Ming army in combat could reach more than ten miles in radius.Note that this is the warning area, which means that not only will patrols be carried out within a radius of ten miles, but it is also full of open posts and hidden sentries.

Why did the Ming army set such a perverted alert range?

The answer is that fighting against the Devil's Cult and the Tartars slowly formed such a marching code.

Thinking about how many masters of the Devil's Cult and the Tartars were back then, and how fast they acted, if we want to prevent them, don't we have to expand the scope of vigilance?
The benefits of such a large alert area are obvious, but it is obviously impossible to switch to ordinary troops.

Think about it, how big is the radius of ten miles, and how much manpower would it take to search every place?Soldiers still need to rest?

But there is no problem with the martial arts coalition. In the army, there are not only Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who are rats who like to run around, but also a large number of masters with light kung fu. Three to 400 people can understand the whole area within a radius of ten miles.

At night, they may not be able to find someone who is deliberately hiding, but if it is a few people walking normally, they will definitely not be able to escape their eyes - not to mention that it is eight hundred cavalry, if they cannot find it, they can only say that they are negligent duty.

At night, after midnight.

Except for about a hundred soldiers who remained on guard, the rest of the cavalry fell asleep leaning against a tree.

Suddenly, a creeping soldier yelled Ula Ula, waking everyone up.

When they stood up and prepared to fight, countless fires suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Then, with the sound of "chi chi chi", these fire points presented a parabola in the night sky and flew towards them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Huge explosions continued to sound, shaking the leaves rustling and falling one after another, as if it had rained.

Many cavalry were killed and wounded in a state of complete ignorance, and wailing was everywhere for a while.

However, the equipment of the Portuguese heavy cavalry is still good. They wear steel armor all over their bodies, and the arm guards, shoulder pads and leg guards are all covered with steel armor. Difficult to kill, resulting in greatly reduced power.

A round of indiscriminate bombing appeared to be very powerful, but in fact only seventy or eighty cavalrymen were killed or disabled.

However, after such an explosion, almost all the horses of the Portuguese cavalry were frightened, and when they went crazy, they ran around and kicked, unable to ride at all.

Without horses, this group of well-trained cavalry became infantry.

"kill!"

On the side of the Ming army, after a round of Thunderbolt bombing, they immediately launched a charge, taking advantage of the chaos and shock of the opponent.

The Ming army from all directions surrounded this group of cavalry, rushing up like a frenzy.

Portuguese heavy cavalry, although heavy armor and body defense ability is extremely strong, but without horses, one of the disadvantages of thick steel armor is doubled-that thing is too bulky!

As a result of being bulky, one is slow movement, and the other is physical exertion.

And what are the advantages of the martial arts coalition?
Coquettish moves, flexible routines, lightning-fast shots!
This is really the right time for a man surnamed Zheng to marry a man surnamed He!

All sects were happy to play.

Look at my Emei tiger walking, there is a poem to praise it: suddenly my hair stands on end and my foot is stamped, the cliff rock cracks and the sand walks away!Hey, Hong Maozi, come and chase me.

I, Wudang Tiyun Zong, are not in vain, if you touch me, red-haired boy, I will be considered a loser!
I am Shaolin...

I am Huashan...

I am Kunlun...

The Portuguese heavy cavalry was first beaten around by the martial arts coalition forces, and when their physical strength was almost exhausted, the martial arts coalition forces began to slaughter.

Strong armor is not really invulnerable, and it is impossible for them to cover their whole body with armor. For example, the terrible neck and other parts can only use cotton armor.

And there were as many as 2000 martial arts coalition forces who came to besiege. The result of this battle can be imagined.
