1974: Combat effectiveness of the Western Army
The powerful crossbows in the bunker began to fire. The crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms shot out from the shooting window of the bunker with a strong whistling sound. The sharp spearhead and powerful power easily penetrated, smashing the giant shields held by the Western soldiers, and then piercing through their bodies.
The powerful crossbows of the Qi people were also imitating the Ming people's crossbow mechanism. They used the mechanical skeletons to greatly increase the firing rate, posing a great threat to the Western Army in attack. Compared with the crossbows with a more dense firing rate, the power of the crossbows is far from being compared with the powerful crossbows, and the casualties caused to the Western Army are smaller.
With the casualties, the Western soldiers ran forward faster. The strong crossbows were placed at a higher position, which caused the problem of shooting angle. As long as they charged into his dead corner, they could avoid these god of death's sickles.
However, it is obvious that their idea will not take effect in front of these bunker groups carefully constructed by the Qi people. These bunkers echo each other and have no dead corners at all. The castles where half of the fortresses buried underground just make up for those areas that cannot be called because of the shooting angle.
Benitez frowned, the muscles in the corners of his eyes pounded, but the hand holding the sword was still as stable as a rock, and the drums rumbling, and the loud drums that encouraged the soldiers to attack became louder and louder.
His eyes always fell on some of the special soldiers. As long as these soldiers approached the bunkers and launched an attack, they could immediately get back.
When the others died, he was not moved at all, but as long as such a soldier fell down, his heart would suck invisibly. Fortunately, these special soldiers were always under the protection of other soldiers. These protections seemed to be unknown to outsiders, and only they themselves understood the rules.
A soldier jumped and rolled on the ground several times, pressing his body against the outer wall of a bunker, gasping for breath, Benitez's gaze immediately fell on him.
After gasping for a few loud breaths, the soldier took out what Benitez was most looking forward to, which was a glass bottle. The mouth of the bottle was tightly stuffed with a strip of paper and stretched out his feet. He pulled over a piece of burning wood and lit the hanging cloth strip. Seeing the strip of cloth burning for a while, he suddenly stood up and threw the glass bottle in his hand into the shooting hole.
At first glance, he was a veteran trained man. The bottle was accurately penetrated through the hole. As soon as he threw it into the hole, the sound of explosion suddenly came, and a flame and thick smoke ejected from the hole. The bunker immediately screamed. The soldier immediately stood up straight, took out a bottle from his arms, and threw it in.
"It's done!" Benitez waved his hand excitedly. Now he also understood that these bunker groups of Qi people were an organic whole, one by one, and each one formed a cover for another. As long as one was broken, one of the others would immediately appear. Using this blind spot and then hit another, just like a domino, it would fall down one after another.
“Beautiful job!”
Before Benitez's excitement had passed, a feather arrow flew over from another bunker and shot the soldier who had just made military achievements under the bunker.
Benitez's smile suddenly solidified.
But the form on the battlefield was as expected by Benitez. A gap was opened on the complete closure, and a flaw was immediately revealed. His subordinates were veterans who had been tested for a long time and were extremely sensitive to grasping the change in the form on the battlefield. Soon, they found the location of the flaw.
After finding the enemy's pain, of course, I couldn't let it go. I grabbed the dog in the water, pressed it and beat it. Soon, a raging fire ignited in the second bunker. The gap became bigger and bigger.
"Second wave, attack!" Benitez pulled out the long sword around his waist and pointed straight forward.
The second wave of soldiers immediately rushed out shouting.
Above the city, Zhang Tianai's face changed slightly. The Ming army's artillery did not pose any major threat to the bunker, but these blonde and blue-eyed guys made the fire ignite from the inside. He didn't know what kind of fire it was, but it could actually make the entire bunker burn in a short time. He watched the ignited soldiers screaming from the hole, jumping out of the top of the bunker, rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames, but the fire became more and more prosperous. Even though the soldiers were no longer moving, the fire was still burning.
"Beat the drum and prepare for close combat!" he said in a deep voice.
The sound of drums sounded above the city wall, and teams of soldiers emerged from the castle and jumped out of the trench. Shields hit the ground hard, and spears were raised, and short sword soldiers squatted behind the spear soldiers.
The Western Army roared and rushed up. Similar to the Qi army, they were also shield soldiers in front of them, but their shields were much taller than those of the Qi army. The shield soldiers held all the heavy weapons and more of them. Behind these large shield soldiers were spearmen.
The man clasped his shield and rushed over. The spearmen of Qi army poked the spear in his hand in silence, and the sound of silence continued to sound. The big shields were all thick wood with iron sheets on the outside. The gun was poked out and penetrated the iron sheets on the outside. However, the wood inside was made of unknown material, and the spear head was pierced half an inch, but it was not pierced.
However, the tall Western soldiers squeezed over with their shields desperately. The spears were bent and snapped, and then they broke. Some of the shields were completely broken with a loud bang due to the desperate squeeze.
The Western Army soldiers who rushed closer wielded the huge battle axe in their hands and chopped them hard on the Qi army's shield. With a loud bang, some of the shields were broken, and some were smashed into sunken inward. The originally strong shield formation suddenly disintegrated.
As soon as the shield formation dispersed, the Western Army spearmen behind immediately rushed up, losing the shield formation and long weapons. Under the attack of the Western Army, which was already tall and powerful, they were immediately struggling and were killed step by step back.
Further away, wild dogs rode on war horses, holding a telescope and looking at the battlefield in the distance.
"Benitez's subordinates are still very powerful. Wang Yun, if you fight with Benitez's troops in the field, do you have the confidence to win?" The wild dog glanced at Wang Yun and asked.
Wang Yun hesitated for a moment, and nodded fiercely: "Yes!"
The wild dog burst into laughter: "Just blow it, it would be good if you can tie him."
Wang Yun said suddenly: "Don't I want to destroy my own power? The Qi army on the opposite side is also an extremely elite force. It is extremely difficult to easily break through the opponent's defense line."
"It is not a shame to admit that others are better than ourselves. Back then, we were in the Luoying Mountains and were chased by the Qin people many times, but we absorbed each other's strengths for ourselves, and finally drove them to the point of laughing. Only when we laughed to the end did we laugh the best." The old god of wild dog said authentically.
"The general is really good." Wang Yun immediately flattered.
"I have a fart level, this is what the boss said." The wild dog laughed.
"I'm just a little surprised. The combat effectiveness of these Western troops is very good. Why are we beaten to the point of being beaten in Manila?" Wang Yun said in a little puzzled manner.
"There is a saying that is called the sin of non-war." The wild dog smiled, "If we were in such a situation, we would still lose. Think about it, thousands of miles away from our hometown, the only way out, the warships were completely destroyed by us, there was no way to go to heaven, no way to enter the ground, no food or drink, and looked around. They were all enemies, are you panic?"
"Pan!" Wang Yun said honestly.
"So, it is precisely because of this that our Majesty has not the intention of fighting the guys who traveled thousands of miles to the West Continent! Even those who landed, didn't we take various strategies to make them use it for us?" said the Wild Dog: "You read the newspaper too, right? I didn't understand it, but Wu Ling told me carefully, and then I realized that the rabbit was anxious and biting people. I really wanted to kill them all, but they didn't fight us to the end. The two flanking troops of the Grand Duke Stensen fought with our army. To be honest, we didn't take any advantage! Mattus and Stensen were both grand dukes of the Tiger Dynasty. How could they get far? Benitez is a general under Mattus, and you also saw his level. Whether it is combat power or reaction ability on the battlefield, they are the best choice!"
"It's good now!" Wang Yun smiled and said, "On the Western Continent, you will probably bite your dog immediately. You will be furious. Here, these brave and warlike Western soldiers are used by us. How great is this! In this world, our Ming Dynasty is the strongest, and our Ming Dynasty Emperor is the most wisest."
"That's the reason." The wild dog patted Wang Yun's shoulder vigorously, slapped Wang Yun's body into a crooked state. "This is called a soldier who defeats others without fighting. This is the highest level of military use. Yoyo, look, the Qi people launched a counterattack, that fire man is so brave!"
Wang Yun immediately raised his telescope. In his sight, a bunker was burning with a raging fire. The fire that spurted out from the hole was daunting. On the top of the fort, a Qi general who was on fire was still holding a bow and arrow to shoot at the Western soldiers under the fort. The archery technique was extremely accurate, one arrow was one. His bow was burning, and the feather arrow was burning. Finally, the feather string broke, and the Qi general also fell from the top of the fort.
"Good guy!" The wild dog praised, "It's a pity that it's our enemy."
Wang Yun also sighed: "No wonder His Majesty said that the battle with Qi will take several years. At first I didn't agree. After watching this battle today, I truly realized that the battle to destroy Qi is far less simple than we imagined."
