The Marine Corps, which belongs to the Navy, is one of the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. Although the number is not large, it is like an extremely sharp blade. No matter where it is thrown, it is a team that can stab a big hole in Tianzi. Their equipment is also at the forefront among all the Ming army. The Marine Corps, such as the Ming Type 1, was also the first to equip the Marine Corps. Although the 5,000 naval Marine Corps, only one thousand people were the first to equip this type.

Weapons, but looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty, they have paid great attention to them. Gunpowder weapons such as grenades that can be produced on a large scale are as much as they need. Small artillery such as mortars are even more favored by the navy and marines. Among the general troops, a formal combat soldier of a battalion of 5,000 people is equipped with up to fifteen to twenty mortars, but the 5,000 naval marines are more than twice as many.

The current Navy and Marine Corps is a team of hot and cold weapons coexisting.

Qin Feng stood under the flying sun and moon flag of the Great Ming Dynasty, looking coldly at the interception troops of the Tiger Dynasty standing not far ahead. The opponent lined up along a gentle slope, with about 10,000 people, extending from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope. At the top, dozens of throwing instruments were spread on it, and more powerful crossbows were densely spread on the gentle slope.

Danxi is attacking Ancheng, trying to open the gateway to Manila City and then occupy Manila City. Manila City is the core of Manila Island Country, with a population of hundreds of thousands. It can be said that the huge wealth of this island country is basically concentrated in this place. Now, with Chen Ci's order, a large number of surrounding populations have retreated to Manila City, causing the population in the city to skyrocket. If Dance really conquered Manila City, he did have the capital to struggle to dyingly.

Chen Ci is setting up the defense of Manila City. Although the possibility of Danxi conquering Manila City is very small, Qin Feng is unwilling to let Danxi's troops arrive at the core area of ​​Manila. Wherever the soldiers pass, everything will be destroyed, which will cause a devastating blow to Manila's economy.

This is what Qin Feng didn't want to see. Next, the Ming Dynasty and Qi will fight a war to dominate the world. All countries in the Manila waters will become one of the huge momentums of the Ming Dynasty's powerful logistics engine. He retains strong production capacity and will relieve a lot of pressure on the Ming Dynasty.

Manila is one of the few countries in this sea area that can produce a large amount of food.

The guards of Qin Feng were a thousand infantry equipped with Ming Type 1, and the left and right wings were fully armed cold weapons teams of 1,500 people, each of which were 1,500. The three square formations formed a reverse-shaped team. Behind the central army, there was a team of protection and logistics consisting of one thousand people.

The Navy and Marine Corps were equipped with a large number of weapons such as Thunderbolt Fire and Forcing Vehicles, equipped with a large number of bullets, shells and various armored weapons to supplement supplies. As the best-equipped team in the Ming Dynasty, their dependence on logistics is also quite serious.

"Attack!" Qin Feng said to Guan Zhen, the head of the navy and marine corps who were accompanying him: "The main force of Danxi is attacking Ancheng fiercely. Ancheng is small, and it may not be able to resist it for long. We must catch up with Danxi's tail before they capture Ancheng."

"Affect the order." Guan Zhen, the first general who came from the first Fiery Death Camp and was also one of the first generals to join the Navy Marine Corps, responded loudly.

He walked forward with great strides to the forefront of the team and waved the flag in his hand.

The rushing carts immediately emerged from the crowd. Beside them, there were the modified thunderbolt fires, and among them were dozens of mortars.

The enemy wanted to defend, but Qin Feng forced them to take the initiative to attack him. After the war had entered the age of hot weapons, there was no corresponding means of checks and balances. It was difficult for cold weapons to defend the places attacked by hot weapons.

As they reached the edge of the opponent's throwing machine and the crossbow range, the Ming army paused. The artillery began to assemble their mortars in a busy manner. In a short time, the dark and cold gun bodies of the mortars were revealed in front of everyone. After the gunners were ready to shoot, they looked at the artillery commander together.

"Fire the cannon!" Two words burst out coldly from the mouth of the artillery commander.

Dozens of shells flew out of the cannon in an instant, and with a sharp roar, they flew towards the gentle slope in the distance.

Above the ridge, he was immediately overwhelmed by a piece of smoke and thunder and explosions.

This is the huge gap between hot and cold weapons. Others can strike you at the distance you cannot reach, but you can only watch. The throwing weapons of the Tiger Dynasty standing on the ridges are very mighty from afar, but once they enter the actual combat, they are embarrassed to find that they cannot reach the Ming army in the distance.

Before the throwing machines and stone bombs were thrown out, they were overturned by the Ming army's mortar shells one by one. The soldiers next to them were blown up all over the ground, and the slope tops were in chaos for a while.

After a round of bombing, the ballistics of the shells began to gradually shorten, and the targets of the bombardment became the Tiger Mansions standing in arrays. For the artillerymen, their favorite thing was this infantry phalanx lined up in dense formations. Once the shells were gone, the harvest would be full. If their formations scattered and ran all over the ground, the results would be much smaller.

Thompson hoped that the Ming people would take the initiative to launch an attack so that he could kill the enemy with favorable terrain, but he obviously did not understand the current war model. Although he had also seen the sharpness of the Ming army artillery at sea, he did not see such a ferocious cannon in the Ming army formation opposite.

His hope was realized, and the Ming people did take the initiative to attack, but such an attack was definitely not what he wanted. He found in great pain that even the battle on land seemed to have fallen into the same end as at sea, that is, the enemy could always cause significant damage to his side at a very long distance.

He had to order his troops to attack the enemy, standing here stupidly and letting the enemy bombard him. Perhaps the enemy's infantry array would not move for a moment, and his army would be scattered. Leaving the built-up position to charge towards the enemy means that he has lost his geographical advantage and will no longer be able to obtain the strong long-range weapons behind him.

The two evils were the least. The army of the Tiger Dynasty shouted and launched an attack on the Ming army amid the fierce fighting drums. Thompson rushed to the front of the team with a shield and an axe in the other. This was the standard battle of the Tiger Dynasty army. The fierce generals charged forward, and the soldiers behind the substitute opened the charge channel.

A long time ago, the generals of the Ming army did the same. Whether it was the tigress Yu Xiu'e, the wild dog, the monk, or even the Yang Zhi, they were keen to charge forward with knives, but after the weapons such as artillery and rifles appeared, they had to change their habit. Although the enemy did not have such weapons, they saw the danger of the general charging forward with such a general. If they accidentally died, the entire army would have a big problem.

Seeing the tiger army rushing up, the Ming army artillery teams immediately began to retreat, and the rushing chariots slowly retreated, covering the artillery team retreating into the military formation behind them.

Thompson's attack target was very clear, and it was the Ming army with the inverted shape. Going deep into the tiger's den and taking the enemy leader directly is the easiest way of fighting, and usually the most effective way of fighting. For the two wings, he sent two troops as his cover, as long as he could hold the enemy on both wings.

The mortars retreating into the Ming army formation were still ringing slowly. For the curved mortars, the densely arranged Ming soldiers in front of them had no effect on them.

One by one, the shells fell into the charge of the Tiger Army soldiers, constantly overturning and exploding. The long charge distance was soon covered with the bodies of the storm soldiers, either dead or injured.

The Tiger Army consciously dispersed the dense formations, and no one directed them to do so, but they subconsciously believed that this would be safer. If these people could go back alive, they would immediately know how to deal with such a situation when facing such an attack from the Ming army next time.

The Ming army's lineup was still neatly standing. At the front were rows of large shields. Between the gaps between the large shields, crossbow machines poked their heads out. The soldiers holding shields squatted down, with large shields on their shoulders, while soldiers holding Ming Style 1 placed guns on the shield. Behind them were more soldiers standing with guns.

The enemy's formation was much more chaotic by the mortars, and the Thunderbolt Fire also roared at the right time. Compared to the power of the mortars, the Thunderbolt Fire's intimidation meant a stronger sense of intimidation. Countless stone bombs fell from the sky, forcing the enemy to make continuous adjustments.

The crisp gunshots of the Ming Dynasty Style 1 finally rang out. The running tiger soldiers were as if they were hit hard by a sledgehammer on their chests, and many people fell down to the sky.

The dense gunfire continued to sound. After a row of shooting was completed, they immediately retreated and the people behind them would make up for it immediately.

Thompson had red eyes, buried his body behind the giant shield, stepped on his legs and ran forward desperately. He could feel that the number of soldiers around him was decreasing rapidly. At this time, he just wanted to run to the enemy quickly, use his big axe to split the enemy's shield formation, and then kill to the central army's flag, and chop down their flag.

"He is a hero and his luck is quite good." He Rentu, who was beside Qin Feng, suddenly laughed, "Look at him running in the front, there is no bullet that can pile him down."

"Brave people will have good luck." Qin Feng said humorously: "Mr. He wants to meet the masters of the Western Continent?"

"Unless he can kill us." He Rentu smiled and said, "I won't do it if I rush up like this. God knows what the guys with guns will do behind them. If anyone is not very accurate in shooting skills and hit me, it will be a big loss."
