Dragon Sea Empire

Captain Velasco's troops included a detachment of Colonial Volunteer Cavalry.Originally, on the terrain of Luzon Island, where the water network is criss-crossed, it is not suitable for cavalry combat. This small cavalry team is only used for reconnaissance and security.

Now this cavalry team was sent to the forefront as a vanguard, and just after running out of the swamp, they found a large group of fleeing physiological people.In fact, these people are not members of Yin Feng's team, they are all fugitives who took a detour from other paths.These people fled toward the Badanyan Sea with a glimmer of hope, expecting a miracle to happen by the sea.The unorganized and undisciplined refugees along the way have been killed and injured by the aborigines, and their escape road is paved with the dead bodies; countless desperate people hanged themselves or committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river.

There are a total of 20 cavalry, most of whom are veteran cavalry retired from the Spanish army. The horses they ride are all Andalusian breeds brought from America with great difficulty—this is one of the oldest and purest horse breeds in the world. The title of the world's top war horse has been the first choice for top war horses since the Phoenician and ancient Greek times.

The war horses are all wearing light armor, and the veteran cavalry are all wearing full armor, holding spears and long swords hanging from their waists.After they found the fugitives, they quickly chased after them, and mercilessly began to continuously assassinate and hit the crowd.The sticks in the hands of the Chinese could not hurt the Spanish cavalry at all, and the crowd quickly became extremely chaotic.The fleeing people caught up with Yin Feng's team, and as a result, the whole team was thrown into chaos.

The Spanish cavalry controlled the speed of the horses just right, with each horse riding side by side with a distance of about 5 meters, and 20 cavalry drove the large group of Chinese refugees towards the mountain pass like sheep.

About 1500 meters behind the cavalry, which is half a league away from the Spanish unit, the Spanish infantry is forming a formation.

"Boom!" A cavalryman knocked down a Chinese who was approaching with a revolver flint gun.A group of brave Chinese launched a counterattack, brandishing clubs and turning back to the Spanish cavalry.The Spanish cavalry reined in their horses, drew out the revolver specially designed for cavalry, and fired two rounds in a row-each of them was equipped with two cavalry pistols.Several of the bravest Chinese sacrificed at gunpoint and horseshoes, the momentum of the Chinese attack was suppressed, and the Spanish cavalry urged the horses to drive away the crowd again.

The idea of ​​the cavalry leader is to drive the crowd to the mountain pass, and completely stir up the Chinese team at the narrow mountain pass, and then there will be a massacre when the Spanish infantry arrives.The extremely arrogant cavalry didn't worry about getting out of the way of the Chinese around, and confidently believed that the Chinese had no weapons that could harm them.

However, the closer you get to the North Pass, the more intense the resistance of the physiological people; moreover, it is obvious that the resistance of the other party began to be organized. The sharpened bamboo spears pointed in the direction of the cavalry's impact.The Spanish cavalry did not hesitate. One of them raised his spear, and the rest of the cavalry moved closer to him, forming a small triangular charge formation. Immediately, they increased their horse speed, lowered their spears, and rushed straight to the row of simple Chinese bamboos. gun array.They didn't pay attention to the Chinese team, which was pitifully thin in depth and ridiculously simple in weapons. With the many spears growing out of their hands, the Spaniards were confident that they would crush this team of Chinese in a single encounter.

The cavalry charged faster and faster, getting closer to the Chinese bamboo spear array.

200 steps, 150 steps, 100 steps!

Suddenly there was a conch horn, which was long and far-reaching, and the hustle and bustle of the surrounding crowd suddenly fell silent, and the Chinese bamboo spear formation suddenly retreated, turning around and running backwards desperately.The Spanish cavalry subconsciously reined in their horses and accelerated their galloping speed, laughing at the cowardly Chinese in their hearts.

The Chinese holding bamboo spears suddenly spread out to both sides. At this moment, the Spanish cavalry had rushed 50 steps away from them, and within a few seconds they could rush to the range of stabbing with spears.However, where the Chinese were out of the way, on the road in the middle of the crowd, 60 light arquebus guns with slow-burning matchlocks were facing the Spanish cavalry.A tall young Chinese stood on the side of the salvo, with a grim smile on his face.The cavalry who rushed to the front were only less than 20 steps away from him!With a wave of the Japanese sword in his hand, he issued a password.

The leader of the Spanish cavalry reined in his horse urgently, "God!" He screamed, before he crossed himself, "Boom!" There was a gunshot, and the gunpowder smoke filled the surroundings immediately, and the Spanish who rushed to the front The cavalry also shrouded in.

All the Chinese people around stopped running, staring blankly at the smoke clearing away.I saw that only 3 of the Spanish cavalry who were showing off their might just now were still sitting on their horses, and the rest fell to the ground together with their horses.Some wounded horses whined long and hard, trying to stand up; several Spanish cavalrymen were dying and screaming on the ground, and one man was crushed by a dead horse and was struggling to get out.The distance is too close, and the power of the matchlock gun within 30 steps can be fully exerted!

Yin Feng raised his hand and shot dead a Spaniard who was still riding a horse with his revolver pistol. He was about to turn his horse's head and escape.The gunshots woke up the surrounding Chinese. With a shout, they rushed forward, dragged one of the surviving Spaniards off the horse, stabbed the other off the horse with a bamboo spear, and then killed the others along with the others lying on the ground. It became a meat sauce.

"Everyone cut off all the horse meat for dry food, and all captured weapons and equipment must be handed over to us!" Yin Feng announced loudly to the crowd.

These scattered Chinese who escaped did not know him, and someone asked cautiously, "Brothers, who are you?"

Before Yin Feng could speak, Mai Xiaoliu on the side shouted excitedly: "We are the musketeers of the owner of Xinxing!"

……

After the Spanish infantry lined up, they waited in place for a long time, but there was no trace of the cavalry vanguard.Captain Biragon was leading the carriages of the baggage train behind, and was dragging several bronze cannons through the swamp with great difficulty.Captain Velasco, who was the leader of the infantry, sent to inform him that there seemed to be something wrong with the cavalry scouts.

The Chinese teams in the distance are walking towards the mountain pass one after another, and there is no trace of the cavalry at all.Captain Biragon and a group of Spanish officers felt that something was wrong, and they became cautious in their actions, and did not take any action until the troops arrived.This move actually gave the Chinese fleeing team ample time to pass through the mountain pass.

"Are you sure you heard musket fire?" Captain Biragon asked Captain Velasco.

"That's right, the distance is less than 1 league. It should come from the vicinity of the mountain pass. It definitely cannot be the sound of the cavalry's revolving flintlock lance."

Biragon's face twitched, remembering his experience of escaping death by the Bashi River, and said through gritted teeth: "It must be them! Damn heretics!"

"who is it?"

"It's the anthropomorphic musketry that slaughtered Captain Gaspar's entire platoon."

Captain Velasco knew about this, and said disapprovingly, "Really? Then our cavalry may have suffered? Could it be that they have such a strong combat effectiveness? Then why didn't they show up during the siege?"

Captain Biragon shook his head: "We still don't know the true identity of this team of biological musketeers. According to Monk Flores, this team of musketeers is commanded by a mysterious European."

Velasco took a deep breath: "What? God bless, is this possible?" He looked around and asked suspiciously: "By the way, where did this monk who was almost burned to a whole lamb go?"

Captain Velasco came from an upper-class noble family in Madrid, the capital of Spain, and had little respect for ordinary Catholic priests.Captain Biragon squinted at him, and said angrily: "The respected monk volunteered to go to the aboriginal tribe in Dalun Mountain, and entered from the valley in the east; he will encourage those aboriginal tribes to attack those who fled into the mountain Physiological people. This saves us a lot of trouble."

……

Now Yin Feng was running back and forth at the North Pass, desperately trying to organize the refugees to evacuate through the pass as quickly as possible.Entering from the mountain pass, it is a gradually widening valley, and about 100 meters ahead is the exit of the valley: a gentle hillside.Going up from here and climbing over a few ridges or valleys, you can connect with the middle section of the path where Yin Feng smuggled into Manila.

Yin Feng climbed onto the cart left by the Spaniards at the mountain pass and looked out of the mountain, very worried that the Spanish army would suddenly launch an attack.At the exit of the valley behind him, according to his request, Lu Shitou, Kutre and Lin Xiao organized 600 people to dig trenches and build a parapet there.The arquebus or flintlock guns owned by Yin Feng and others are musket-loading muskets, which can only be loaded standing up, so they can only build parapet fortifications.Coutere is an expert in this area. Except for the sailor of Xinxing, although everyone is very displeased with this rigid foreigner, they can only follow Yin Feng's command for the sake of Yin Feng's face.

In order to ensure that all people can reach the Badalan Beach smoothly, Yin Feng decided to guard this mountain pass.

In front of the temporary fortification, a group of pirate gang brothers lit a bonfire and were cutting and drying horse meat-the best Andalusian horses had all been killed and were about to become dry food for everyone.Two Andalusian horses were only slightly injured, and when they were stabbed to death by the pirate brothers with bamboo spears, Yin Feng was really distressed: What a purebred Andalusian horse!In the time and space before Yin Feng traveled, the price of each of these horses could reach more than hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars.

The team organized by Yin Feng and Lu Shitou included about 2700 people who joined in the middle. In addition to the countless Chinese refugees who rushed to the mountain pass one after another, this sparse team actually dragged out for five or six miles.

Yin Feng kept yelling at the crowd: "Come on, old men and old men, the Ganla people will follow behind!"

However, the crowd is still moving, moving slowly, because everyone is indeed too tired, and the old and the young have not eaten anything for several days and nights, and some of them are injured.Besides, the mountain pass was indeed too narrow, and the time it took for the brigade to pass was so slow that Yin Feng was furious.

A large group of people came supporting each other, they were all dressed up as craftsmen in short clothes, and several of them were traumatized; inside, a middle-aged man raised his head and asked in Zhangzhou Haicheng dialect: "Brother, you are the one who brought people to kill you." Is it related to the Greek cavalry?"

Yin Feng jumped off the cart, cupped his hands and saluted, "I'm right here, Yin Feng, the owner of the Xinxing ship."

A group of more than 30 people knelt down together: "Benefactor! Our Haicheng Zhao family kowtows to you!" After saying that, everyone touched their heads to the ground and kowtowed heavily!
