open sea

Chapter 733
If it weren't for the continuous gunpowder, Shao Bianjiao could clearly see the knights coming from the north.

If it weren't for the continuous sound of guns, Shao Bianjiao could also hear the warning shouts from the three centurions in the north.

But he didn't see anything, he didn't hear anything, and it was too late when he found out.

Everything happened too fast, and the left wing of the Banner Army, who was concentrating on attacking the Spanish phalanx, found that the cavalry was approaching and it was too late to take any effective precautions.

A few people instinctively spread out to try to avoid the cavalry charge.

But before taking two steps, the knight on horseback just turned the horse's head slightly, and exerted a slight force on the elbow holding the heavy spear. He eats better than others, grows stronger than people, and spends half his life learning how to train quickly. The war machine that kills one or some people can accurately insert the trembling spearhead into the unarmored face, neck, buttocks, inner thighs.

In fact, no matter where it is stabbed, even if it is close to a thick breastplate, it can't withstand the spearhead of a Western European knight like a big awl. The ridged iron spearhead will not leave a slender penetrating wound when it hits any position. Instead, a big blood pit was dug out, the person was stabbed and turned over, and the well-made heavy spear continued to attack the next enemy.

Some people install the thorns on the bird guns as quickly as possible. They are people with excellent psychological quality and excellent learning ability-the Beiyang Infantry Exercise Code says that as long as a few people hold long guns with thorns and put them in an array, they will be careless. It's good to stand up. Horses that have not undergone long-term collision training are afraid, and they dare not hit the thorns.

But they forget one premise or don't know how to distinguish it: horses that have not been trained for a long time.

One after another, the bannermen flew backwards after being hit by the armored horses. Thirteen mixed-race neo-noble knights rampaged from the left flank of the battle line. Sword, rampage invincible.

Hundreds of steps behind them are more than [-] Spanish light cavalry returning to help. Charged, which is why their speed lags behind by a large margin.

They started to slow down five hundred steps away from the banner army, keeping their horses running along the gap made by the knights at a speed slightly faster than that of humans cantering. It is a kind of borrowing force. A sharp weapon can cause considerable damage without using too much force at this speed. After stabbing a person to the ground, use the power of a galloping horse to lift the tail end of the lance upward, and wait for the mount to gallop. When passing by the side of the gunman, pull out the lance along the way, and then stab the next enemy.

Some people also use double-headed spears, and change hands after stabbing at the front. However, if the light lances they use are not used well, they will break like special spears used in martial arts, and they are much more dangerous than special spears—broken It is very likely to aim at your chest or face.

The heavy knight's charge, which had ruled the European battlefield for hundreds of years, brought disaster to the cavalry of the Shaobian Jiao tribe, which had been leading the world's mainstream infantry for 100 years by accident.

The Spanish Legion is the most proud fighter in Europe. They rule the New World and they are invincible. This is the temperament shared by Spanish fighters fighting in every corner of the world, and they are vigorous.

When the heroic knights trampled over the left banner army and crushed a centurion formation, the light cavalry who followed followed shuttled outside the broken front, assassinated the single banner army, and further squeezed the formation.

Herrera's remnants, who were fired three times by the Ming army and knocked out nearly 300 people, approached at the same time. It is true that they showed signs of defeat just now, and it is also true that their morale has been greatly boosted and they are ready to fight.

Spain is a deformed and powerful country. There are only two cornerstones of its prosperity. One is the continuous silver in the Americas, and the other is the legion that defends the country.

Europe's attitude towards Spain can be seen from the French. After 200 years, when the French mention the Spaniards, they will laugh or even utter bad words. "Spanish" has become a synonym for vulgarity and stupidity.

But now, on the contrary, only the Spaniards scold the French, and the French learn everything from Spain, whether military or cultural, they have no reservations.

When the formation was slightly squeezed, Herrera's subordinates' Fran cannons, which had not been fired, finally exerted their due power. The flying catty stone bombs crossed the grass and bombarded the chaotic Ming army on the flanks. and go.

These cavalry were creating opportunities for Herrera's artillery.

On the left is the elite cavalry attacking surgingly, and on the front are the roaring shells and the Spanish phalanx marching forward.

The Ming army should have been defeated long ago, and it should have been defeated the moment the Spanish knights rushed into the line.

But they didn't.

A row of blunderbusses shot at the cavalry galloping on horseback from behind the chaotic left wing. The three centurions, which were supposed to defend against the cavalry in the north, adjusted their formation and fired at the Spanish cavalry from their sides.

After the three hundred households who faced the enemy directly, the three hundred households serving as the reserve team loaded the thorns on the bird guns after launching a volley at the cavalry. Initiate a white-blade charge.

These peasant children are not proud, even though they come from the most extensive empire in the world, even though the loyal emperor ruled thousands of miles of land, even though their ancestors once led a powerful fleet to conquer the ocean.

No one is proud of the heritage they were born with.

They charged because Baihu was flying the triangular satin-embellished dragon flag.

They went to death just because they wanted to be worthy of wearing the dark blue dark pattern Beiyang military uniform.

In their hometown, many people will never see people with metal buttons on their robes in their lifetime. That is the skirt that only officials and wives have.

Buttons like that, six of them in and out of their uniforms, brass!

"Stab the horse's chest, chop the horse's legs!"

There is only one chance in a person's life to insert the muzzle of the blunderbuss into the thorn. The bird blunderbuss stands in front of the body with its foot on the butt, and the end of the thorn is aimed at the armored cavalry galloping forward.

It doesn't mean that everyone will die, but after the collision, no matter whether the horse is still alive or not, the person who was hit will not be able to stand up, and may not be able to stand up again in this life.

But when Shao Bianjiao ordered this in the chaotic army formation, the Beiyang Banner Army, which has been training for more than a year and has engraved obedience into its habits, did so.

The cavaliers and horses, who had been trained hundreds of times, were not afraid of these gadgets, so they slammed straight into the wall. The knight on the horse swept the heavy spear across the crowd and swung the wall away, but the thorns still pierced into the chest of the horse.

The military shovel swung at the horse's leg, which was not protected by iron armor, and the heavily armored knight fell off the horse.

Although it seems that a knight who is fully armed in plate armor seems to be inconvenient to move around, there is thick plate armor inside the plate armor to absorb shock. A knight who has been trained strictly since childhood can not only wear these things proficiently in foot combat, but also After falling off the horse, there is a lion dance.

If he will.

Of course, there must be a chance, at least this knight has no chance.

The subordinates of Baihu on the left wing were trampled to death and injured half of them by these knights. They slammed the flagpole heavily on the knight who was about to get up. Said he was hurt.

Even shrugging the shoulders seemed to be smiling.

The next moment he couldn't laugh anymore, and raised his head, the Baihu flagpole had been inserted upside down on the ground, and the pistol was on the helmet.

boom!
　Good morning!
