The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 46 Artillery and Deception

The formation of the recovery army was shaken, and people were panicked.

No one, including Zhu Hongyu, could have imagined that the Spaniards had artillery!
They can shoot at the Spanish muskets without fear, but in the face of artillery, even if it is just a small cannon that can be transported into the mountains.

I can't help but my legs are weak.

Even Zhu Hongyu's complexion changed, he didn't expect the Spaniards to have cannons!

Looking at the mess thrown out by the shells in the woods behind him, his expression was very ugly.

The Spaniards transported all the artillery into the mountains, it seems that they are very determined to destroy themselves!

At the same time, Zhu Hongyu was dissatisfied with the standard of scouts of the Liberation Army.

The Spaniards transported the artillery into the mountains, and he didn't know anything about such important news!
Zhu Hongyu felt that after this battle was over, it was necessary for him to train an elite scout!
Because of inaccurate battlefield intelligence, it is very likely to lead to defeat!
Just like this time, although he knew that the Spaniards had ambushes, he didn't know that the Spaniards had artillery!
……

Seeing that the formation of the Liberation Army was shaken, Kayal continued to order.

"Fire! Keep firing!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!
Four consecutive gunshots were fired, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke rose. Four fist-sized iron balls shot out from the muzzle amidst the flames and gunpowder smoke, and shot towards the formation of the Liberation Army.

Zhu Hongyu's complexion changed, and he ordered.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat quickly!"

At the same time, a large number of Spanish soldiers rushed out from the woods on both sides of the road, trying to surround the recovery army led by Zhu Hongyu himself.

The first cannon fire was Kayal's signal to the ambush.

The sound of the cannon sounded, and the ambushes attacked!
However, the Liberation Army had already been prepared for this. Although they were caught off guard by the artillery and panicked, but with Zhu Hongyu as the backbone, they stabilized quickly.

The Spaniards surrounded them on three sides!

The Liberation Army began to retreat in an orderly manner!

Seeing this scene, Kayal proudly said to Yada beside him.

"Master Yada, didn't the rebels defeat you last time by bluffing and luring the enemy deep?"

"Look, today I will use their methods to defeat them!"

"In the words of the Chinese, it is to treat the body of the person with the way of the person!"

Yada looked excited, nodded vigorously, and said.

"Catch that rebel leader, you must catch that rebel leader!"

"I'll chop off his fingers, his limbs, and finally his head!"

Kayal nodded and naturally did not refuse.

The situation on the battlefield continued to develop. The retreating Liberation Army highlighted the encirclement, but the Spaniards were still chasing after them.

The second round of shelling by the Spaniards started, and a total of five shells flew in the direction of the Liberation Army.

Four of the shells emptied and passed over the heads of the Liberation Army.

Only one shell landed ahead of time, tumbling and spinning, bouncing on the ground, and flying towards the formation of the Liberation Army.

Click!Click!
There was a crisp bone cracking sound, and the thighs of several people were broken where the shells passed.

It even tore one person's body from the waist and abdomen, spraying blood and internal organs everywhere!

Fortunately, only this shell hit!
But after being hit by a shell once, the formation of the Liberation Army was completely chaotic, from an orderly retreat to a rout.

Even Zhu Hongyu couldn't stabilize the situation anymore!

The threat that artillery can pose on the battlefield is too great!
The Liberation Army was running ahead, and the Spaniards were still chasing after them.

Hundreds of Spanish soldiers and more native servants gathered in a mighty torrent, rushing towards the defeated soldiers of the Restoration Army.

……

Kayal almost sent all the troops to pursue Zhu Hongyu and others.

Beside him and Yada, there were only 30 guards left, and more than ten people responsible for guarding the mine.

At this moment, Wang Youcai and his party rushed out of the mine.

Immediately, he began to fight against the Spaniards guarding outside the mine.

Both sides fired in formation, and after a fierce volley of guns, each had casualties, and the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke and wailing.

Wang Youcai personally led the team and rushed towards the Spaniards, ready to start a hand-to-hand fight.

The two sides collided together, and the battle entered a fierce battle from the very beginning.

The tall and strong Liberation Army still had an advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and the Spaniards were pushed back again and again.

The Spaniards guarding the mine turned and fled, trying to join the guards around Cayaljada.

When Wang Youcai and the others saw the scene of the Liberation Army being defeated after being bombarded on the battlefield, they were all anxious.

Wang Youcai shouted loudly.

"Brothers, the general came to rescue us from an ambush!"

"For the sake of the recovery army, for the sake of the general, we must take down the red-haired general and turn the tide of battle!"

"The future of the Liberation Army rests on our shoulders!"

"Kill!!"

Under the leadership of Wang Youcai, more than 30 people around him bravely charged towards Kayal and others.

They wield swords and spears in their hands, and their morale is like a rainbow.

Even in the face of the enemy's neat row of guns, and people kept falling to the ground, none of them retreated.

The general led his troops to rescue them at the risk of defeat, and then fell into an ambush.

How could they spare their lives in order to save the war situation? !
Facing the Liberation Army who was killed like a madman, Kayal showed panic on his face.

He didn't expect that the group of field mice in the mine would dare to rush out to fight back!

If he had known this earlier, he would have kept more guards by his side!

But it was too late to say anything now, he could only order the guards around him to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

After firing a round of guns, it must be too late to reload, so they can only bayonet the muskets, or charge with spears.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided and began a bloody fight!

With all his strength, Wang Youcai slashed at the red hair standing in front of him.

The sharp steel knife sank into Hong Mao's head, and blood and brains splashed out.

He wiped the sticky blood and brains on his face, his expression remained unchanged, and he shouted to kill.

"Kill!"

"Follow me! Go, don't stop!"

The steel knife in his hand slashed repeatedly, almost no one could stop him.

His hard life as a miner has helped him build a good body. The muscles on his body may look inconspicuous, but they all contain powerful strength.

"Kill!"

A red-haired soldier retreated a few steps after being slashed by him with a knife, his tiger's mouth was already cracked, and his face turned pale.

Due to the size gap between the two sides, in hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Liberation Army were completely pressing down on the Spaniards!
But the Spaniards are professional soldiers, and their fighting skills surpass those of the soldiers of the Restoration Army.

Although they were being suppressed and beaten, once they caught the opportunity, the soldiers of the Liberation Army who fought against them would either die or be injured.

The battlefield was filled with corpses and wounded soldiers from both sides, and there were constant screams and wailing.

But Wang Youcai and others continued to move forward, as if they were unstoppable.

……

On the other side, the Spaniards pursued the Restoration Army and entered the ambush circle of the Restoration Army.

"kill!"

"Kill those lowly Chinese pigs!"

"The glory of God shines on Spain forever!"

"..."

The Spaniards were still chasing, closely chasing after the Liberation Army, shouting to kill.

From time to time, someone will stop and release a round of guns!
Some of the Liberation Army fleeing ahead will fall to the ground!
