Chapter 736 Annihilation
Shao Tingda was not as miserable as Chen Mu imagined.

Since Heiyunlong's cavalry appeared on the battlefield, it almost destroyed the morale of the Spanish phalanx with an overwhelming advantage.

When a large number of routs appeared in the battle, more flag troops on the northern and eastern fronts were thrown into the musket fire on the western front, and the legionnaires of the western army hidden in the forest withdrew from the battlefield at some point, the battle was coming to an end.

All that's left is to hunt down and kill the fleeing enemies and gather the surrendered troops.

"General, I found it! This should be their chief of three hundred households!"

On the battlefield where corpses were strewn across the field, Hei Yunlong rode his horse back from the southeast bridge and wiped his battle sword with a linen shirt collar torn from some unlucky Western soldier.

Hearing the Banner Army shouting, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Banner Army who was holding a sword in his hand while carrying a heavy red feather pendant with a gold-rimmed helmet and a red belt, and slowly nodded.

"Move it to the car. And tell him that the 300-man formation of the Western Army is called a company, and the general is called a company commander. Chen Shuai decided, don't call it nonsense, what are three hundred households?"

Hei Yunlong said this to the dismounted cavalry entourage carrying sabers and spears, only at this point can he slightly pull the stiff muscles on his face to pull out a smile, and look to the south. The camp that originally belonged to the Spaniards is now The 朙 character flag has been inserted.

The Ming army got a lot of good things there. The chief general Shao Tingda and hundreds of soldiers from the former army fleet were counting the goods harvested in this battle, and Almansa, the former governor of this land, was dealing with Herrera for the Ming army. The company's captured merchants accompanying the army.

Behind Hei Yunlong, several carriages loaded with the corpses of Spanish mixed-race officers were obtained from the camp.

Farther away, the place where the battle broke out most fiercely was also Shao Bianjiao's preset battlefield. Most of the dead soldiers of the Ming army were there, and some banner troops were counting and restraining themselves.

Shao Bianjiao was not there, and he led four hundred households who could continue to fight to set up defenses in the forest to prevent the retreating Spaniards from counterattacking again, and sent scouts to the west to find out where they were going.

Although Herrera's body has been found, the Spanish company in the forest has a large number of troops, and 700 people still have the power to fight, so people dare not relax their vigilance.

What's more, the Ming army also had to take the official road to the west. After suffering the loss of this battle, Shao Tingda ordered to find out the danger as soon as possible, and retrieve the artillery and long weapons left in the west.

Artillery must follow the official path. The artillery vehicles of the Ming army are not compatible with the artillery vehicles of the Western army. It is too troublesome to repair if it is damaged.

Hei Yunlong outside the camp got off his horse and glanced back at the carriage piled up with corpses. It was so simple that it could only prevent the horses from overturning the eyebrow-level wooden fence. Arrange the dead soldiers in three rows.

Hei Yunlong turned his head away slightly and couldn't bear to watch, they were able to defeat a legion from the most powerful country on the other side of the ocean, but at this moment, they didn't even have a mat to cover the bodies of their fallen soldiers.

"37, including Herrera, the bodies of 37 generals were found, President..."

Hei Yunlong's words stopped abruptly when he entered the military tent, because the atmosphere inside was very strange.

The camp that originally belonged to Herrera was very large, and there were four other people besides the two guards who stood by with swords.

Moved the table and chairs that were originally placed on the side of the tent to the center and sat upright, and pressed Shao Tingda, the commander of the golden lion regiment, in the center of the agarwood binoculars breastplate.

Sitting in the second seat on the left, the right hand rests on the table with its elbow, the red and black stripes under the armor are padded with shoulder pads, and the left hand is wrapped with bandages and two fingers are missing .

There are two masters and servants standing next to the table covered with military sketches. The leader is tall but thin, wearing fluffy earth-colored trousers with knee-length padding, and a pair of high-waisted brown leather boots. With an exaggerated ruff collar on the shirt, this is Herrera's military merchant.

And a young servant with a simple abacus next to the merchant.

Abacus entered Europe and originated from Pope Sylvester II in the [-]th and [-]th centuries. He was considered a very inclusive and talented scholar. He learned a lot of knowledge from Christian countries and promoted Christianity in Europe. * Teach the country the incoming abacus.

After his death, he was judged as an evil pope and a depraved monk. A century later, the Crusades, which lasted for 200 years, began.

However, when the abacus entered Central Asia from the Silk Road, the Chinese did not know how to use the abacus to calculate the square root. In addition, the generations in the transmission process were not as good as the next generation. Up to now, the abacus in Europe still only uses it to calculate addition and subtraction.

This shortcoming from the east does not hinder the love of abacus among Europeans. In this era, all businessmen use it to calculate, but the traditional addition and subtraction algorithm can no longer meet the growing trade needs of the Mediterranean. European mathematicians are thinking about it. It is imminent to find a way to solve this problem and create new and more efficient algorithms.

What made Hei Yunlong's words cut off in his throat was precisely because of the four people in the coach's tent. In his consciousness, at this time, this Western merchant should have had all his goods taken away and left here in despair.

All the goods are already the trophies of the Ming army. If you make a profit in a business, you will be compensated, right?

What's weird now is that the three people in charge are all laughing, and laughing happily, which makes Hei Yunlong wonder if he should tell the information.

The merchant accompanying the army first smiled at Heiyunlong who had entered the camp, and said in Spanish: "It can be seen that you are an outstanding cavalry regiment commander in the Ming Dynasty. The humble merchant pays high respect to you. Congratulations on leading the cavalry around you." winning or losing this war.”

"I hope you will allow me to introduce myself hastily. I am Ander. I am from the Fugger family in Germany. I own territories in Peru and New Spain and manage all the industries in the New World."

Hei Yunlong was at a loss, he could understand Spanish, but Ender spoke too fast, with a false smile on his face that made it hard to guess the intention, and many uncommon words that he couldn't understand. I understood this guy's last name, but I didn't even understand the sentence about his name.

"Fugeer, what a good name."

He nodded slightly, and after saying a word, he turned to Shao Tingda again to salute, he hesitated to say: "Shao Shuai, the corpses of the generals of the Western Army have been restrained and placed outside the camp gate."

Shao Tingda didn't have any objection to Hei Yunlong's taking Ander's surname as Fu Ge'er, and he heard it that way, seeing Hei Yunlong glanced at Fu Ge'er, he waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's not a secret, let's continue. "

Hei Yunlong nodded and said: "A total of 37 corpses of generals, counting two surrendered and one prisoner, a total of forty, there should not be many generals left in the Western Army."

"Forty?"

Before Shao Tingda could speak, Almansa stood up first, shook his head and said: "Wrong, wrong, only eight officers and eight company leaders are officers in the 29 permanent establishments of the Legion, and three company leaders are still alive. Too much, I'm afraid the general has confused a knight with an officer."

As he spoke, he got up and imitated Shao Tingda's hands and said, "General, I'll go and see and identify them."
