On the plains northwest of Manila, half-man-tall weeds have been trampled to form a natural battlefield. At both ends of this battlefield, two extremely large armies are ready to start war at any time. ※ ※

"General, although the other party claims to be 300,000, but because the battlefield is limited, the other party only lined up the most elite 200,000. Five miles behind, there are still 100,000 old and weak soldiers!" A small school stalker flew to report.

"Take it again!" Zhou Long waved his hand after hearing this. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, so the information about the other party could not be left behind for a moment.

"No!" The explorer received the order and left. However, as soon as the explorer left, the second explorer arrived immediately. With the report of these explorers, all the information on the battlefield gathered in Zhou Long's hands, and almost all the situation on the battlefield evolved in his heart.

The 300,000 troops of the tribal alliance were not all in battle, and the same was true for Zhou Long's 120,000 troops. In comparison, Zhou Long could only give out half of his strength, including 20,000 Japanese troops on the left, 20,000 Korean troops on the right, and 10,000 grassland cavalry were in the center as the main force. Originally, the terrain of Luzon was not suitable for cavalry attacks, so the grassland people did not bring war horses this time. However, as the situation changed, Zhou Long specially transported more than 10,000 war horses to let the grassland people exert their strongest combat power. In addition, all the firearm troops were also in battle, the artillery position was on the left wing of the army, and the other thousand musketeers were also on the left wing.

Compared with Zhou Long's army, the 200,000 Alliance Army on the opposite side seemed very loose, and it could even be said that there was no formation at all. There was a very obvious dividing line between the 200,000 people. On the left is the He and the Alliance army, while on the right is the Yilu Alliance, and within the two Alliance armies. It is also divided into dozens of small teams according to the tribes. Generally speaking, the number of people is the first and the number of people is the second.

Zhou Long was not surprised by the looseness of these alliance troops, because he had long learned from the dwarf blacks that the situation of war on Luzon Island. Because they still exist in the form of tribes, although the tribes fought frequently, they had not evolved into real wars. Simply put, the war form of these tribes was still at the level of group fights. Not to mention the regular Tang army, even the affiliated troops of Japan could easily deal with it. Of course, the premise must be face-to-face plain wars, rather than wars in the tropical jungle.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Long showed weakness to the other party in the previous contact war, and then led the army to appear on the plain with great fanfare. As a result, the other party was indeed deceived. He actually gathered all the troops and prepared to fight them to the death here.

Thinking of the scheming he had spent before, Zhou Long couldn't help but smile a little proudly. At this time, Hu Li stepped forward and said, "General, the army is ready. Can you start the attack?"

Looking at the bloodthirsty tiger power, Zhou Long smiled and said, "It's true that you can attack, but the one who takes the lead is not the tiger general." Zhou Long said this, his face was full of orders. "Transfer this general's order, the artillery will prepare to fire!"

With Zhou Long's order, the commander standing on the high place immediately waved the order flag and issued orders to the artillery positions on the left. The artillery commander who had been unable to wait saw the order here and immediately roared: "Prepare~, ignite!"

At the commander's order, the artillery behind dozens of artillery immediately ignited the lead with the torches in their hands. With a deafening roar, a row of hot projectiles flew out of the muzzle. The distance between the Alliance and the artillery was less than two miles away, just within the range of the artillery, and 200,000 troops gathered together, even if they had their eyes closed, they could hit the target.

The leaders of the tribal coalition were the patriarchs of two alliances. In fact, it was the first time they participated in such a large-scale war. In the past, when fighting with other tribes, a battle of thousands of people was generally good. Only when the war of extermination would a army of tens of thousands of people be dispatched. However, this time it was different. They had to face the army of outsiders. Through previous slave transactions, they knew that the other party was not only well-equipped, but also experienced. For example, a team of more than a dozen slave-catching teams could destroy a tribe of hundreds, let alone these regular troops.

It is also known that although the two alliances are several times the number of opponents, they dare not take the initiative to attack. In addition, they still have a layer of mind, that is, they hope that another tribal alliance will attack first, and then fight to the death with the outsiders on the opposite side, preferably to defeat both sides. At that time, they may have the ability to destroy themselves, allies and enemies, and then occupy the entire Luzon.

However, just as the two tribal alliances were playing their own small abacus, the cannons under Zhou Long's order had already opened fire. When the hot projectiles shot into the alliance army like black lightning, many unlucky soldiers were beaten by iron bullets weighing more than ten pounds without even having time to scream.

It turned into minced meat. The more lucky ones were rubbed by the shells, and the bones were broken. The people did not realize that they were injured at first. It was not until after a while that they felt the severe pain on their bodies. Suddenly, there were wailing on the battlefield, and the sound of crying at their father and mother was endless.

This round of artillery was just the beginning, and the fifty cannons did not fire all of them, but were divided into two rounds. After the first round of artillery, the second round of artillery also began immediately. Although the lethality of solid bullets was limited, and if one shell was lucky, it would not kill at most several people. However, this psychological deterrence was too great. After all, these Luzon natives would never have thought that there were such weapons that fell from the sky, and the way of killing people was still so cruel.

The two groups of artillery fired in turn, creating a continuous sound of artillery, which also put the other party under greater psychological pressure. In addition, the tribal alliance army was originally scattered natives and had no discipline at all, so after several rounds of artillery attacks, the 200,000 troops were already in chaos.

"Prairie Cavalry, rush!" With the order of Hu Li, ten thousand grassland cavalry under his leadership were like a black torrent. In addition, the Japanese and Sanhans on the left and right wings also began to rush forward, but few people found that there was a special force holding muskets in the Japanese team.

There were no horses on Luzon Island. The natives in the Alliance Army were also very surprised when they saw the grassland cavalry, and at the same time they were a little scared of this unknown creature, which was one of the reasons why they dared not take the lead in attacking. Now they were in a mess by artillery, and they saw the opponent's army rushing towards this huge animal, which made them even more frightened. Even those teams that were not bombarded began to cause chaos.

The cavalry had the fastest speed. Within two miles of distance, they rushed over in just a few breaths. Under the leadership of Huli, ten thousand grassland cavalry exerted their maximum combat power, waving their sabers and smirking into the Alliance. These murderous grassland demons had no idea what kindness was. The sharp steel swords passed through the enemy's neck, and heads rose into the sky, with blood spurting everywhere, dyeing their black armor into a dark red.

As soon as they came into contact, the alliance army was broken into a hole by the tiger-powered grassland cavalry. Then the cavalry of ten thousand people was like a sharp arrow, killing from the front to the back of the formation, and then all the cavalry circled and turned around and killed. As a result, these natives who had no experience in dealing with cavalry had no way to stop them, and could only let these cavalry rush their army into a distortion.

However, what made the two alliance leaders feel lucky was that after contacting each other's army, the weapon that roared like thunder just now finally stopped, which made them breathe a sigh of relief. After all, they were also within the range of artillery attacks, and no one knew whether the iron lump would fall on their heads? Now that the artillery fire stopped, this made them feel a sense of security.

However, the two patriarchs were obviously too happy. The chaos caused by the cavalry was even greater than that of artillery. After all, no matter how sharp the artillery was, it was limited in number and had little coverage. Many teams were not affected too much, but the cavalry was different. Every time they had an impact, they would at least bring thousands of casualties.

In addition, the troops on the left and right wings of Zhou Long also began to fight with the Alliance Army. Although the Japanese and the Three Korean troops were not as good as Li Yan's direct Han troops, after changing clothes and training by Zhou Long and others, their combat effectiveness was greatly improved. At least it was very easy to deal with such undisciplined indigenous people in the South.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Long's 50,000 troops attacked the 200,000 tribal alliance army and even one-sided massacre. However, this situation did not surprise Zhou Long. He had long known that these natives had no discipline. If they were to fight with a storm, it would be okay, but if they were defeated at the beginning, they would fall into chaos next.

It was precisely because he seized the opponent's weakness that Zhou Long used artillery to shock the enemy, and then used grassland cavalry to attack. As a result, when the troops on both wings contacted the opponent, the Alliance Army was almost in a state of fighting on their own, and many people even began to escape.

Faced with this situation, the patriarchs of the two alliances also knew that something was wrong, so they immediately ordered the heads of each tribe to restrain the soldiers, and at the same time, they also let their direct guards drive some tribes forward with force, striving to block the opponent's offensive.

However, their efforts soon became futile, because the musket team hidden in the Japanese army finally opened fire, and rows of muskets fired in turn, and hundreds of natives were shot and fell to the ground each time. The local soldiers were also very afraid of such a weapon that could squirt smoke and escaped from the musket shooting. So wherever the musket team rushed, the natives began to flee everywhere.
