Chapter 680 The Might of the Rifled Gun

No artillery, just infantry armed with muskets.

Francisco's confidence grew again, and he gave the order to fight.

The Spanish phalanx is also well-known in Europe and has defeated many powerful enemies.Entering Asia is even more invincible. Just an expeditionary force of more than 200 people easily defeated the local indigenous army.

For the impression of the Ming Dynasty army, the Spaniards are still stuck in the descriptions of missionaries decades ago.

They believed that the Ming army was still a medieval army and could only fight with the help of cities.Even the barbaric Tatars who used bows and arrows were defeated by the Ming army with great effort.

Therefore, when the Ming army's two-wing phalanx opened fire, Francisco sneered.

this distance?It is more than 300 meters long. Although the Ming army is also equipped with muskets, it seems that they don't know anything about it.

But the next scene surprised Francisco and the Spaniards in the phalanx.

Blossoming blood spattered, and the Spaniards were hit and fell to the ground one by one in disbelief.But the Ming army's two-wing phalanx stopped at this distance, rotating row after row, and the muskets kept ringing.

The screams sounded right next to Francisco's ears, and a companion clutched his chest, with blood gushing between his fingers, and fell to the ground slumped.

There was severe pain in the abdomen, and Francisco lowered his head, a blood hole appeared in his sight, bleeding out gurglingly.

how can that be? !
The rush of blood quickly took away his strength, his thoughts and will, and he fell powerlessly with his eyes wide open.

The Minigun, um, is now the Sixth Type of Apocalypse. Although it is not easy to manufacture and the cost is high, its power is astonishing.

In the live ammunition shooting experiment, the Apocalypse VI has a killing distance of up to 700 meters, and it has a good hit accuracy within 400 meters.

This is the power of the rifled gun, and so far, there is still room for improvement in the sixth form of the apocalypse, and there is also room for improvement in power.

Qi Shiguang squinted his eyes. He knew the sharpness of the Six Forms of Apocalypse better, but it was shocking enough to demonstrate it on the battlefield.

If the army can change all their outfits, wouldn't they be invincible all over the world?This kind of power, even without artillery, has little effect.

A musket, even a flintlock, has an effective range of about [-] meters, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.Once the Six Forms of Apocalypse came out, the power increased by more than several times. Facing the old-fashioned muskets, it has the advantage of crushing.

Rows of Spaniards were knocked down, and the Ming army's phalanx remained motionless, pouring bullets at the enemy.This is a one-sided massacre, and the enemy has no power to parry.

Finally, the Spaniards collapsed, and the battle formation with more than half of the casualties fell apart in fear. All discipline and rigor disappeared in the face of death.

Screaming and howling, the Spaniard dropped his companions, turned around and fled towards Manila City, not even daring to turn his head.In their hearts, the Ming army has become a monster, which cannot be resisted by manpower.

The Ming army's phalanx began to move, gunshots continued, and they shot the enemy from behind without mercy.

Before the action, the soldiers of the Ming army received education and knew the blood debt owed by the Spaniards.The psychology of resentment and revenge, coupled with the emperor's secret decree, the Ming army will no longer keep prisoners.

Of course, if the Spanish in Manila surrendered, the elderly, women, and children would be left to wait for the Spanish ransom.

As for the Spanish soldiers and strong men, they were punished by beheading for their crimes.

As I said before, the emperor not only wants to pay with blood, but also wants to let all the Western Yi know the principles of the Ming Empire, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to suffer from Lu Song.

Two hundred Ming troops equipped with the Sixth Type of Apocalypse chased down the Spaniards in a forward shooting formation, knocking them down one by one from behind.

From 300 meters to 800 meters, the shooting never stopped.The own officers are observing the effect of the shooting, evaluating the data of the range, accuracy, power and other aspects of the Six Types of Apocalypse.

Obviously, in the eyes of the emperor, the Apocalypse VI as a rifled gun can reduce the total weight of the gun, the caliber can also be reduced, the bullets are reduced, it is easier for soldiers to carry, and the power will not drop too much.

You know, the full gun of the Apocalypse VI weighs nine catties, has a caliber of 18 mm, and each bullet weighs 33 grams.This is quite different from the firearms of later generations.

The emperor is also based on his memory, hoping that the Six Forms of Apocalypse will be what future generations will look like.Of course, he did not act arbitrarily, and the solution was handed over to the military.

As long as the army feels good, then he doesn't have to force it.The law of historical development must always adapt to the situation at that time, and it may not be a good thing to go too far.

Like this rifled gun, the Emperor does not intend to equip troops anytime soon.Even if the rifling machine is improved, the work efficiency is greatly improved, and it has the ability to produce on a large scale.

The addition of flintlock guns and bayonets, together with field artillery and rockets, has made the Ming army ahead of other armies in the world, standing in a majestic formation without fear of any opponent.

Waiting for three to fifty years, the armies of other countries will also be equipped with flintlock guns and bayonets, narrowing the gap with the Ming army in terms of weapons, and then allocating rifled guns, they will still beat them and still lead them decades.

As long as the military strength can be maintained for decades, the emperor's strategic layout can be completed.With the explosive population of Ming Dynasty and the strategic location of expansion, who can easily defeat Ming Dynasty?

At that time, the Ming Empire will really become a giant, with a vast territory and billions of people.Such a size is daunting enough.

The Spaniards' rout, or rather disastrous defeat, was a total surprise to Philippine Governor Luis das Marina.

"How could this be?" Dasmarina simply couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that he was defeated after only two hours out of the city, and there were even less than 200 soldiers left.

"Ming people have muskets with great power and long range..." A Spanish officer was still in shock, and described to the governor the process of the battle, or the disastrous defeat without a battle.

Before Das Marina could respond, a Spanish soldier ran over and presented a letter, "Master Governor, this is a letter from the Ming army to persuade you to surrender."

Dasmarina opened the letter and read it, then threw it aside casually, walked up to the city wall with a gloomy face, and watched the situation outside the city.

The Ming army had already driven to the city, and stopped outside the range of the artillery on the city.The rocket launchers are being arranged, pointing obliquely at the city of Manila.

The city of Manila is very small. To be precise, it is a castle or a fort, which is only equivalent to a village-level fortress of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Thousands of marines are besieging the city, and the city of Manila will soon be tightly surrounded.

"Send someone to negotiate with the Ming army." Dasmarina thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Whether it's compensation or other demands, we can negotiate."
