The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 28 Array Evolution
"General, the sentry found the red hair!"

"The red hair is less than five miles away from the mine!"

A scout reported in front of Zhu Hongyu.

Five miles, that is, two and a half kilometers!
This distance is already quite close!
If it was on plain terrain, the two sides would have discovered each other 800 years earlier and were ready to fight.

But the terrain of Luzon Island is not flat!

Especially after leaving the city of Manila, there are mountains and dense forests everywhere.

In such a place, it takes half an hour to walk five miles.

Zhu Hongyu got up from the chair and gave orders.

"Order the whole army, prepare to fight!"

"According to the plan!"

Several Liberation Army generals around him clasped their fists and accepted the order.

"promise!"

……

Capello and his party followed the only road to the mine, just as they were about to arrive at the mine.

Far away, just in the direction of the mine, a phalanx blocked their way.

Mr. Ollibon looked at the phalanx in the distance and couldn't help frowning.

"Mr. Capello, what's going on?"

"Could it be that in the mine of your Scotch family, the miners hold muskets and swords and form a square formation to welcome the guests?"

Oliben felt something was wrong, but he also didn't expect the Chinese miners to riot, and thought it was Capello's deliberate arrangement.

A Spanish soldier said very vigilantly.

"You two honorable gentlemen, please hide behind us, something is wrong!"

Capello's face was gloomy, and he felt that the mine had humiliated the Scotch family in front of Mr. Ollibon.

"Send someone to ask what's going on here?"

Capello told the housekeeper beside him.

He also did not think of the possibility of Chinese rebellion.

The butler took the order, brought two guards from the Scorch family, and swaggered towards the phalanx formed by the Liberation Army sergeants.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't help frowning as he looked at the three of them walking towards their own phalanx swaggeringly.

What are the Spaniards trying to do?
I have brought people out, and the formation is ready to meet the enemy. Isn't it obvious?
Why did you send three people over to die?

If it weren't for the fact that there were only three people on the opposite side, it would be too wasteful to fire a volley of guns, and Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but ordered to fire.

When the three of them approached, before Zhu Hongyu had time to speak, the housekeeper asked in a Chinese that he was not familiar with.

"Where are Master Yada and Michael?"

"Master wants me to ask them, is this the welcome ceremony they prepared? It's just embarrassing my Scorch family."

What surprised the butler was that no one answered his question.

Under the aim of the muzzles of the black holes, the butler felt that something was wrong, but he also did not expect that the Chinese miners who were docile in his eyes in the past were now rebellious.

He snapped.

"You lowly pigs, answer my question!"

"Where are Master Yada and Michael?"

With a cold face, Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and ordered.

"There are two rows and two classes in a row!"

"Aim for the target and fire!"

The housekeeper's face changed drastically when he heard Zhu Hongyu's words.

However, before he could take any action, a total of ten muskets fired in an instant.

There was a burst of gunpowder smoke in front of the recovery army formation, and the butler and two guards of the Scorch family were shot at close range.

The lead bullets pierced through their bodies, and the three of them were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest, and they couldn't die anymore!

Zhu Hongyu went out with a steel knife in his hand, and swung the knife to chop off the heads of the three people. In the three pairs of dead eyes, there was a deep sense of disbelief.

Zhu Hongyu lifted three heads, one after another, and threw them in the direction they came from.

The provocation is obvious!

……

At this scene, Capello and others changed their expressions drastically.

"Damn it, this is not a welcome ceremony! It's those lowly Chinese pigs who rebelled!"

"My God, how could this happen!"

Capello couldn't help shouting angrily.

While roaring, he couldn't help feeling worried.

His son, who had set off for the mine ahead of him, was now presumably in the hands of the rebel miners.

This group of damn miners didn't know what kind of cruel things they would do to his son!

Capello swore that if his son was injured in any way, he would kill all the Chinese in the mine and bury his son with him!

Mr. Oscar couldn't help but frowned.

"Mr. Capello, something like this happened in your Scorch family's mine. It seems that I need to rethink the cooperation between the Governor's Palace and your Scorch family."

"If there is another mutiny in the mine while the cannon is being cast, the consequences are unacceptable to the Governor's Mansion!"

Capello looked straight at Oscar with piercing eyes, and said.

"Mr. Oscar, the matter of cooperation can be discussed later!"

"My son Yada is in the hands of those rebels, and now I need Mr. Oscar's help!"

"Mr. Oscar, please help me put down the rebellion and rescue my son!"

Oscar nodded and said.

"Of course, Mr. Capello!"

"Manila is the Manila of the Spaniards. The lowly Chinese pigs dare to rebel and show their knives to the masters of Manila. All Spaniards living in Manila are obliged to give these Chinese pigs a little bit of a fight!"

With Oscar and Capello reaching a consensus, all the Spanish soldiers in the team and the guards of the Scotch family were used together.

Holding muskets, they lined up in a neat phalanx and pressed towards the phalanx of the Liberation Army in front.

All the Spanish soldiers, including the guards of the Scotch family, raised their heads high and showed pride on their faces.

They were very confident in themselves, and they didn't take the Daming Restoration Army on the opposite side seriously.

In their eyes, the Chinese are very weak. As long as they line up in front of the group of Chinese rebels and fire a round of guns, the Chinese rebels will be defeated.

They can enjoy the victory to the fullest!
"Mr. Oscar, although the rebels on the opposite side are just a mob, they also have muskets, and they are still imitating our Spanish phalanx."

"Although the large phalanx they imitated is incomparable to the real Spanish large phalanx!"

"But their muskets will still cause casualties to our brave boys!"

"Mr. Oscar, please give an order to drive the Chinese pigs in the team to the front, and let those lowly pigs block bullets for the boys."

A Spanish army captain suggested beside Oscar.

The Ming Dynasty Restoration Army used line infantry tactics, with three rows of musketeers in the front and hand-to-hand soldiers with spearmen and swords in the back.

Due to the insufficient firepower density of muskets in the matchlock era, it would not work if all muskets were used in an infantry phalanx.

Therefore, a complete infantry phalanx usually requires a mixture of musketeers and melee soldiers using spears and swords.

And the establishment of the Spanish phalanx is almost the same.

In the early days, the ratio of musketeers to pikemen in the Spanish phalanx was eight to two, and the ratio of pikemen to eight musketeers was two.

Up to now, with the development of firearms, the weight of firearms in the Spanish square has become more and more important.

The proportion of arms in the Spanish phalanx has also evolved into half of musketeers and half of spearmen.
