Chapter 81 Wind General
A Spanish company had 25 to 300 soldiers, but no one knew how many people were following him and running forward. They did not shout foolishly, but just carried weapons and moved forward quickly step by step.
The loud noise from the stone shooting cannon frightened Fu Yuan so much that his face was about to stand up. His legs and armor skirt were hit by the barrier wall, and he almost rolled and crawled behind the barrier wall in the middle.
After leaning behind the wall for a while, listening to the huge stone bullets hitting the canyon path, bouncing and rolling until there was no sound, then he let out a long sigh, touched his body and turned his head to shout left and right, "Is anyone hurt? Is anyone hurt?"
The flag army was undulating and reported safety from the safety of the flag army, and no one died or were injured.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Yuan heard the footsteps of thousands of people echoing in the canyon.
"Prepare to defend!"
In fact, when the Spanish were preparing to attack, many flag troops under Fu Yuan were dozing against the wall, but at this moment they all woke up. When they heard the military orders, they grabbed the weapons around them and ran towards the trenches, with the muddy and wet trenches, and extended the bird guns out of the shooting hole.
Even if he is ten steps away, he can't see anything.
Fu Yuan opened his eyes wide and looked forward with all his might, as if he was hoping to discover the attacking enemy troops as soon as possible, but in fact he could not see anything.
When the Ming army picked up the Western Army shells in the evening, they refused to hang the bells immediately. It was difficult to get these bells from the hands of the Black Cloud Dragon, but it did not have any effect at this time.
The generals and officials who were familiar with the celestial phenomena of the two armies could recognize that there was probably a sudden rain tonight, and the wind blew the horse bells and kept ringing, so it was impossible to identify where the enemy was going based on this.
"Tell the general and General Shao that the Western Army has attacked, have the cannons been wiped out, and have the cannons installed four hundred steps of medicine, and the cannon cart is pushed forward!"
The Ming army's artillery was also wrapped with gunpowder. At first, a hundred households in Nanyang used to prevent the problem of more gunpowder in the panic in the war, so they imitated the bird gunpowder cartridges with paper. Later, the gunpowder maker in the warehouse found that ordinary paper was prone to moisture, so they changed to wrap it with oil paper.
Gunpowder, wood, and shells are wrapped together and stuffed into the barrel. When firing, the package is poked through the lead outlet, and the lead is poured into the lead medicine to ignite the fire.
This method was further refined to different ranges of different gunpowder when Chen Mu was training in Beiyang, and prepared in advance the amount of medicine for each range, as well as the difference between solid bullets and loose tubes.
Fu Yuan was not ready to fire the enemy when he attacked four hundred steps, and he was waiting.
With the squeaking sound of the wooden carriage pushing the artillery forward by the artillery flag army, Fu Yuan suddenly laughed and said to the left and right: "We are afraid of taking the five general flag arrows, they are more afraid than us."
The flag army was afraid of the enemies in the dark. Perhaps they were afraid of not the Spaniards, but the Spaniards in the dark. The darkness made them more afraid than the Spaniards.
There is nothing scary about the Spanish.
The flag army took the general flag arrows encapsulated in wooden shooting drums for a while. Fu Yuan patted the general flag arrows with dragon patterns and smiled: "Isn't it just a tomorrow? Let's invite Feng Xiang to see where they are going!"
The flag army could not understand what he said, but it did not affect others' understanding - because the guerrilla general of the Eastern Military Office of the Ming Dynasty immediately picked up the tube and put it on the barrier wall to release a large firework.
Without the Divine Power Arrow, otherwise the lighting effect of something that can fly a thousand steps is better.
The general flag arrows spiraled in the air and exploded in the sky for more than 200 steps. The instant light emitted by the flag army barely saw the shadow of a spear in the distance.
There was no sight of people at all. The spears of 500 steps were brushed out of the square formation. The moment the fire light came on, it was easy for people to ignore the rows of musketeers and sword and shield soldiers in front of the spearmen.
It is easier to ignore the indigenous people who are moving in the dark on the slopes near the mountain walls on both sides of the road, the scattered soldiers mixed with mercenaries and down-and-out knights. They are Bernard's carefully selected attackers.
The square formation soldiers are the main force, but no one will naively think that the spear square formation is suitable for attacking.
Fu Yuan took this opportunity to dispatch the flag army. Shao Tingda's troops were awakened by the sound of cannons. The flag army, who had just spent a while to sleep in his clothes, was ready to go, and led by hundreds of households in various departments and rushed to the front line.
The marching flag military torches reflected a two-mile fire dragon between the camp and the intersection of Nangu Road. On the other side of the port, the cavalry of the Black Cloud Dragon tribe stood quietly in the cotton field outside the camp, waiting for the order of attack. The galloping general's personal soldiers arrived and immediately passed the order: "General Black, please check the command of the command!"
The Black Cloud Dragon, who was ready to rub his hands, saw the warrant and said nothing. He nodded to the messenger, turned around and waved to his subordinates to disband.
The handwriting is just one sentence: The war horses return to the stables, and the horses return to the camp.
As for Chen Mu, he had already led his personal soldiers to the front line.
His journey was not yet halfway through, and the second Ming army's artillery fire had been heard from the valley road, and the sound of the cannons was mixed with bird guns. The battlefield was already in full swing.
The lead balls were like raindrops to penetrate the grass covered outside the barrier wall, and the sound of the lead balls hitting the wood was mixed in the middle, which was the sound of the projectiles piercing through the canopy.
Fu Yuan, who was crouching on the side behind the wall, held a gun in his hand and raised the palm leaves blocking the fallen palm leaves at the front of the hat helmet, grinning and muttering: "The Western Yi guns are so far away - don't panic! The enemy is still two hundred steps away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of bird guns shooting from the edge of his right wing came from. Although the Ming army's bird gun was first imitated from Portugal and was not much different from the Spanish combs and the sound was relatively similar, it was still very easy to distinguish.
The Western Army fired very neatly but did not deliberately pursue the rhythm. It was released in rows and rows, with a long and short interval. In order to ensure the continuous firepower, the Beiyang Banner military wheels fired, even the same row would be divided into several formations and released one after another, so it was not so neat, but each row was the same interval, so it would not stop when the gun was fired.
"Which Ministry of Households is that!"
Before Fu Yuan could blame him, he heard more left-wing flag troops setting off guns, which made him suspicious.
It is not surprising that a hundred households fired guns in panic. The left and right wings fired guns almost at the same time. The sound was very neat. It was not that the flag army launched a panic attack. Something bad must have happened.
Relying on the gap in the barrier wall to become a female wall, he pretended to look at the wings, and saw the right wing emitted musket lights alternately from the place where the position was very close to. It was obvious that the enemy had touched within fifty steps in front of the formation, and the situation on the left wing was even worse, and someone had already approached within thirty steps.
"Report! General, there are enemy raiders approaching a hundred steps on the right wing, and they are only discovered when they step on the caltrops. A hundred households are coming to report. The right wing is about to prepare for the battle. Please send reinforcements to block the gap!"

"I already know, tell the right wing general that reinforcements will arrive soon."
Fu Yuan nodded with his lips and said, "The news made his face numb and scared. If it weren't for the gravel road on both wings laying iron straits, his two-wing flag army would have already been fighting with the enemy."
The reinforcements had arrived, and Fu Yuan's pupils reflected the flag holding a torch at the entrance of the valley. It was Shao Tingda who was leading his troops to come.
