Chapter 46: Artillery and Deception
The formation of the Restoration Army was shaken and people were in panic.
Everyone, including Zhu Hongyu, could not have thought that the Spaniards actually had artillery!
They were able to shoot against the Spanish musket without fear, but when faced with artillery, even if it was just a small cannon that could be transported into the mountains.
I can't help but my legs are weak.
Even Zhu Hongyu's expression changed, but he didn't expect that the Spaniards actually had artillery!
Looking at the mess of the shells in the woods behind him, his face looked very bad.
The Spaniards transported all the artillery into the mountains. It seems that they are determined to wipe out themselves!
At the same time, Zhu Hongyu was dissatisfied with the level of the scouts of the Restoration Army.
The Spaniards transported the artillery into the mountain, and he didn't know anything about such important news!
Zhu Hongyu felt that after the battle ended, it was necessary to train an elite scout!
Because the inaccurate battlefield intelligence is very likely to lead to defeat!
Just like this time, although he knew that the Spaniards had ambush, he didn't know that the Spaniards had artillery!
...
Seeing that the formation of the Restoration Army was shaken, Kayar continued to order.
"Fire the fire! Keep firing!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four consecutive cannons sounded, and a large number of gunpowders rose up. Four iron balls the size of fists shot out from the muzzle in the flames and gunpowders, shooting towards the direction of the Light Restoration Army array.
Zhu Hongyu's face changed and he ordered.
"withdraw!"
"Retreat quickly!"
At the same time, a large number of Spanish soldiers emerged from the forests on both sides of the road, trying to surround the part of the Restoration Army led by Zhu Hongyu himself.
The first cannon sound was the signal that Kayal gave to the ambush.
The cannon sounded, and the ambush attacked!
However, the Restoration Army was already prepared for this. Although it was caught off guard by artillery and a little panicked, Zhu Hongyu, the backbone, quickly stabilized.
The Spanish surrounded him from three sides!
The Restoration Army began to retreat in an orderly manner!
Seeing this scene, Kayar said proudly to Yada beside him.
"Young Master Yada, didn't the rebels defeat you by using the method of cheating and luring the enemy into depth last time?"
"Look, today I will use their methods to defeat them!"
"In Chinese terms, it means treating others with the same way!"
Yada nodded vigorously with excitement and said.
"If you catch that rebel leader, you must catch the rebel leader!"
"I'm going to cut off his fingers, cut off his limbs, and finally cut off his head!"
Kayar nodded, naturally not refusing.
The situation on the battlefield continued to develop, and the retreating Restoration Army emerged from the siege, but the Spaniards were still pursuing behind.
The Spanish's second round of artillery bombardment started, and five rounds of artillery shells flew towards the direction of the Restoration Army.
Four of the shells were shot out and passed over the head of the Restoration Army.
Only one shell landed on the ground in advance, rolled and rotated, bounced on the ground, and flew towards the array of the Restoration Army.
Crack! Crack!
A crisp sound of bone cracks sounded, and the thighs of several people were broken wherever the shells passed.
He even tore his body from his waist and abdomen, and blood and internal organs were sprayed everywhere!
Fortunately, only this shell hit!
But after being hit by the shell once, the array of the Restoration Army was completely in chaos, and it changed from an orderly retreat to a fleeing.
Even Zhu Hongyu can't hold on to the situation anymore!
The threat that artillery can pose on the battlefield is too great!
The Restoration Army was running in front, while the Spaniards were still chasing behind.
Hundreds of Spanish soldiers and more indigenous servants gathered into a vast torrent, rushing towards the defeated troops of the Restoration Army.
...
Kayar sent almost all the troops to pursue Zhu Hongyu and others.
Beside him and Yada, there were only twenty or thirty guards, as well as more than ten people responsible for guarding the mine.
At this moment, Wang Youcai and his group rushed out of the mine.
He immediately started fighting with the Spaniards guarding outside the mine.
Both sides lined up to shoot, and after a fierce raft of gunfire, each suffered casualties, and smoke and wailed on the battlefield.
Wang Youcai personally led the team and rushed towards the Spaniards, preparing to start a hand-to-hand battle.
The two sides collided together, and the battle began to heat up.
The tall and strong Resurrection Army still took advantage of the hand-to-hand combat, and the Spaniards were suppressed and retreated repeatedly.
The Spaniards guarding the mine turned around and ran away, trying to meet with the guards beside Kayaryada.
Wang Youcai and others saw the scene of the battleground where the Restoration Army was defeated and fell like a mountain after being shelled. They were all anxious.
Wang Youcai shouted loudly.
"Brothers, the general is here to save us and ambush!"
"In order to restore the army and for the general, we must take down the Red-haired general and save the situation of the battle!"
"The future of the Restoration Army is on our shoulders!"
"Kill!!"
Under the leadership of Wang Youcai, more than 30 people around him launched a charge towards Kayar and others without fear of death.
They waved the swords and spears in their hands, and their morale was like a rainbow.
Even when facing the enemy's neatly queuing guns and people kept falling to the ground, none of them retreated.
The general led his troops to rescue them at the risk of defeat, and then fell into an ambush.
How can they cherish their lives in order to save the situation of the war?!
Facing the Restoration Army, which was like a mad demon, Cayar showed panic on his face.
He didn't expect that the group of ground mice in the mine would dare to rush out and fight back!
If he had known this, he would have left more guards around him!
But now it is too late to say anything, so he can only order the guards around him to prepare for a hand-to-hand combat.
After they finished a round of gun roulettes, it was definitely too late to load them, so they could only bayonets or erect spears to charge.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided and began a bloody battle!
Wang Youcai used all his strength and slashed at the red hair that was blocking him with one knife.
The sharp steel knife sank into the red-haired head, and blood and brain splattered.
He wiped the sticky blood on his face, his expression remained unchanged, and he shouted to kill him.
"Kill!"
"Everyone comes with me! Go, don't stop!"
The steel knives in his hand slashed and almost no one could stop him.
His miserable career as a miner has made him a good body, and his muscles look inconspicuous, but they all contain powerful power.
"Kill!"
A red-haired soldier was slashed by him and took several steps back. The tiger's mouth was already shattered and his face turned pale.
Due to the difference in body shape between the two sides, in hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Restoration Army were completely suppressing the Spanish!
But the Spaniards are all professional soldiers, and their fighting skills are better than those of the Restoration Army soldiers.
Although they were being beaten up, once they were caught by them, the soldiers of the Resurrection Army who were fighting against them would be either dead or injured.
The battlefield was filled with corpses and wounded soldiers from both sides, screaming and wailing.
But Wang Youcai and others were still moving forward, as if they were unstoppable.
...
On the other hand, the Spanish pursued the Restoration Army and had entered the ambush circle of the Restoration Army.
"kill!"
"Kill all those lowly Chinese pigs!"
"The glory of God will shine on Spain forever!"
“…”
The Spaniards were still chasing, chasing behind the Restoration Army, shouting loudly.
From time to time, someone will stop and set a round of guns!
Someone who escaped from the front would fall to the ground!
Chapter completed!
