The war between Ming Qi will inevitably start in Lincheng first, which is something that both sides know very well. Therefore, Xian Bisong is very attentive to the management of Lincheng. For him, Lincheng's defense system is a mini version of Changning County. How well Lincheng is fighting is still of great reference value for the defense of the entire Changning County.

But what Xian Bisong never expected was that it was not the elite troops of the Ming army coming to attack Lincheng, but a group of blonde and blue-eyed guys from the Western Continent.

Qin Li set out to the Western Continent to find reinforcements for Qi. The reinforcements were indeed coming, but the final result was not satisfactory. These people have now become enemies of Qi. I think they are just a mute who eats yellow lotus and cannot say what they have to do.

This offensive and defensive battle attracted the attention of senior officials of Ming and Qi.

Xian Bisong did not think that Lincheng could last for a long time under the attack of the Ming army. Lincheng's geographical location was too special. It was explored in the territory of the Ming people on three sides, like a peninsula floating outside. The Ming people could not allow such a place to exist, and it was not cost-effective to give Lincheng more support, because the ending of this place was actually destined.

Speaking of which, it was Benitez's attack alone, but of course it was not the case. The wild dog transferred a total of twenty artillery guns, and Li Xiaoya's cavalry battalion also came to the vicinity, which had prevented the Qi army from having any other backup. As reinforcements from Benitez's troops, the wild dog also transferred Che Zhe's Xinning Camp to the vicinity.

Even the wild dog himself arrived near the battlefield to watch the battle nearby. He didn't care how tight the Qi people's defense was, but he cared more about the combat effectiveness of this Western Continent army.

Wild dogs have experienced many battles and have fought a variety of battles, but this is the first time he has encountered such an opponent who has built dense bunkers like now. However, a large part of the change in the war pattern is forced to be caused by changes in the Ming Dynasty.

The spear and the shield are always competing with each other. Now, the Ming Dynasty is going to give it a try. It is the point that its own spear is stronger or the turtle shell made by the Qi people is stronger.

Although Xian Bisong does not have gunpowder weapons like Ming Type 1, he has crossbow arrows, crossbow machines, and long-range attack weapons that can be hidden in the bunkers. These bunkers do not practice one at will, but after careful calculations, they can echo each other and cover each other. There is no blind spot at all.

There is really no other good way to do such a defense system besides a hard attack.

Benitez looked up at the sky and felt the cold falling on his face. The snowflakes floating down seemed to add countless tragic and bleakness to the upcoming battle.

For him, this battle is not only about winning, but also about being beautiful. The most direct way for soldiers to win respect on the battlefield is to win victory. Today may cause considerable casualties, but from another perspective, the casualties paid today are also for fewer casualties in the future.

There are not only these five thousand people under my command, but another five thousand people will arrive one after another. If you want to get the respect and recognition of the wise people, and do not use yourself as a disposable consumable in future battles, you must show your value today.

He had already made this clear and clear to his officers.

The Ming army said that they would live to death, but for him, they would be killed and then born. In fact, the wild dogs were right. They were actually the people who were abandoned by Mattus, or the Grand Duke of Mattus, who simply believed that these people had no hope of going back. The value of existence may be that the Ming people could support him to a greater extent.

But even if Benitez realized this, he still had to fight for Mattus to the end, because he did not want Mattus to fail, and his family was on that piece of land. If Mattus failed, as an important general under his command, where would the hair be attached?

Only when Grand Duke Mattus wins can his family get better treatment, and only when he survives and wins one victory after another can Grand Duke Mattus pay more attention to his existence and thus benefit his family.

He threw in a thousand infans at one time. The soldiers in armor were now gently tapping the big shield with the weapons in their hands, making a low roar, but opposite, there was a quietness. The gray buildings seemed to be graves, and there was no movement at all, but Benitez naturally knew how many murderous intents were hidden on the calm water surface. The drawings from the Ming intelligence agency clearly formed the arrangement of the opponent.

It is precisely because of the clear drawings at a glance that he was very moved that if he didn't know these, he would suffer greater casualties. But with these, he had more targeted arrangements.

He reached out and wiped the snow on his face, and Benitez nodded at the officer beside him: "Let's start!"

The roar of artillery officially kicked off the battle of Lincheng.

Amid the rumbling explosion, fire suddenly rose and smoke was pouring. The muscles on Benitez's face twitched. When he was in Yangang, he was a member of the bombing. The fear and helplessness were not something that the parties involved could not understand. Now that the role has changed, he has become the perpetrator, but the rumbling explosion still made him feel scared.

At that time, there were not so many artillery bombardment at the same time. More importantly, it seemed that the explosion here was stronger than that in Yangang.

The earth was trembling, and the bunkers in the distance seemed to be shaking. Benitez hoped that they would overturn the next moment, but to his disappointment, the gray buildings that looked shaky were always standing. Through the telescope, the greatest result he saw was that a shell landed on the roof of a tall bunker and blew a crossbow on it away.

There was no one in sight. The Qi people were hiding in the solid bunkers and quietly waiting for his soldiers to rush forward.

In the past wars, whether it was Qi, Ming, or the soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty, they liked the most to line up in neatly and oppressively to fight the enemy. However, in the past two years, when gunpowder weapons developed rapidly, attacking in such a formation would be equivalent to suicide, and naturally, the formation of scattered soldiers appeared.

Benitez's men, after experiencing a battle with gunpowder weapons in Yangang, have now changed their combat mode and advanced forward in a sparse formation.

They chased the trajectory of the shells and bravely launched a fierce attack ahead.

On the wall of Lincheng, when the Qi general Zhang Tianai saw that the artillery fire of the Ming army did not cause much damage to the bunkers and the losses were almost negligible, he excitedly slapped the wall and said, "This strategy is effective, which can minimize the Ming army's firepower advantage, forcing them to fight with us in the end. Hahaha, in this way, we are not afraid of them. Come on, fight with hand and blades, go in, and red swords come out, who is afraid of whom!"

"General Zhang, should we open fire with our cannons and give the other party a surprise?" A general shouted beside him.

"Can you fight to the opponent's central army?" Zhang Tianai asked.

"No." The general said a little embarrassedly.

"That's all, our gunpowder is limited, so don't waste it. It's used when it's used to keep it on the blade." Zhang Tianai immediately shook his head. In the fierce artillery fire, soldiers from the Western Continent hugged, held their shields, and trotted forward. This required a strong trust in the artillery, because any shell fell among them would cause them great casualties.

Benitez's subordinates naturally had no trust in the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, but this was Benitez's hard order. After repeatedly understanding the strategies and tactics of the Qi people and the weapons and equipment of the Qi army, Benitez believed that only in this way could his casualties be better reduced.

The Ming army showed them the regular weapons of the Qi army such as thunder fire and crossbow machines, and their lethality was naturally unquestionable.

Go forward, go forward again.

Finally, the Qi army's counterattack arrived.

When we advanced about 500 meters away from the Qi army's position, countless fireballs soared into the air behind some castles, crossed the bunkers and smashed towards the attacking team.

Benitez actually admires the generals of the Qi army very much. If he hadn't seen the drawings drawn after the Air Force reconnaissance, he would never have thought that the other party's thunder fire was set up like this.

After the bunker, large pits were dug out, and iron plates were cast on the pits to form herringbone-shaped moving lids. When the Ming army's artillery fire bombarded, these lids blocked the pits. When the attack was about to start, pull away the lids and the thunder fire placed under these pits could attack the enemy.

Looking at the fireballs flying in the sky, Benitez looked at the artillery.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Ming army's artillery fire moved the target, and the shells fell to the locations of the thunderbolt cannons with a whistling sound.

This is the power of reconnaissance, because the Air Force has drawn the locations of these thunderbolt fires in advance, and the artillery soldiers have already made all preparations before shooting, and they are waiting for this moment.

A Thunderbolt Fire just fired the first rain-like bomb and fell down immediately. Only half of the bombs fell into the pit, and the Thunderbolt Fire was naturally scrapped.
