Thinking of this, Borzigit Celing looked left and right. The five battalions of Yin family warriors were standing with him behind the parapet on the west side of the camp, watching the "fireworks" in the sky with a smile Or watching the Spaniards smash down the west gate of their camp with cannons—they were two fairly strong wooden doors, but they still couldn't stand the bombardment.
After three or four rounds fired by the Spanish cannon, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the two thick and large wooden doors finally failed to withstand the hammering of the shells and fell to the ground.
And the moment the gate fell to the ground was when the Yin family warriors attacked, Borzigit Celing took a yellow dragon flag with a red background from a Yin family warrior beside him, and jumped onto the one in front of him. Then he waved the flag vigorously and shouted loudly: "Yin family warriors, go forward!"
The Yin family warriors standing behind the parapet also shouted loudly: "Go forward! Kill the enemy!"
Borzigit Celing jumped off the parapet, and then, holding a big flag, he walked out of the camp first!
Behind him, about [-] Yin family warriors also climbed over the wall without hesitation, followed Borzigit Celing, pushed open the gate on the wooden fence in front, and then walked up from the trench Just walked through the reserved passage, and ran directly outside the camp!
After leaving the camp, these Yin family warriors didn't form any horizontal or column lines, but just pulled out two loose lines of skirmishers, and then walked towards the array facing the Spanish imperial army.
This scene directly stunned the Spanish royal soldiers on the opposite side.
What kind of play is this?Why does it look almost like being sent to death?There are so few people, and they don’t form a team, and they are musketeers and archers (everyone is wearing a scimitar), and they come up loosely... No wonder Pizarro used more than 200 people to destroy the Inca Empire. , these barbarians who believe in the devil really don't know how to fight!
"The 3-pound gun... turn the muzzle and aim at those believers of the devil!"
The German officer in command of the artillery reacted immediately, and quickly directed the 3-pound guns that were bombarding the camp gate just now to turn their muzzles at the Incas who were walking fast.
The Duke of Lorraine, who was watching the battle from behind the battle line, was also stunned by this scene. He laughed out loud after a while, and said to Archbishop Philip next to him, "Your Highness, we have encountered a group of fools who can't fight at all... We have already Victory!"
As soon as his words fell, the 3-pound guns in front had adjusted their direction and roared again!
Chapter 864 The devil is coming, Jesus help!
"Boom boom boom..."
With a roar, twenty or thirty artillery shells whizzed past the two rows of loose Yin family warriors... and missed, and these Yin family warriors seemed to be unaware that they had become enemies. As if shelling the target, he still walked calmly, not only moving forward slowly.
Seeing this scene, all the Spaniards showed expressions of disbelief.
What medicine did these Incas take wrongly?It's so leisurely to be bombarded!Is this an apparition of the Holy Spear, or were the Incas simply fools?
"Boom boom boom!"
The shelling continues!
Another volley of three-pound guns was fired, and as usual, the bullets still missed... Uh, the distance is still relatively far! The aim of the 3-pounder smoothbore gun is like that.
However, as long as these Incas get closer, they will know how powerful the Spanish cannons are!
But just as the Incas were seven hundred yards to the left of the Royal Spanish guns, they stopped abruptly.
Then more than half of the Incas actually squatted down and stopped moving forward.The rest of the Incas with flintlock guns were holding their guns, bent over, and approached the Spanish artillery in a looser formation.
What is this for?
Even an experienced veteran like the Duke of Lorraine is now confused by the mysterious operation of the Incas.So he didn't immediately order the cavalry and fusiliers to attack the squatting Incas, but raised his binoculars to see what happened.
The current time is about five or six o'clock in the morning, and the sky is almost bright, so the Duke of Lorraine can see very clearly through the telescope.
He found that the Incas, who were advancing with their waists bent, stopped advancing when they reached about [-] yards in front of the Spanish Royal Army's artillery group, but raised their muskets and started shooting in a kneeling position.
"What?" said the Duke of Lorraine, startled, to himself. "Muskets against cannons... Are they crazy? Don't they know there are shotguns?"
At this moment, the situation on the front line changed again.
The crouching Inca musketeers were already firing.The muzzle flames of about two hundred muskets flashed one after another!
"The distance is so far... At this distance, even a rifled gun is not easy to hit!" When the Duke of Lorraine said this, more than [-] artillerymen on the Spanish artillery position had already been hit.One by one, they trembled and fell to the ground as if they had been electrocuted!
Some of them were not killed immediately, but had cork bullets drilled into their bodies or broke bones in their arms and legs... That was a piercing pain!
In pain, they fell to the ground, rolling and screaming, shouting the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
"Why are you shooting so accurately?" The Duke of Lorraine gasped when he saw the loss of his own artillery.
However, until now, he still didn't think how powerful those Incas who were squatting and shooting were... Aren't they just snipers, the Spanish Royal Army also had snipers.Although the marksmanship is not as good as theirs, and the effective range is not that far, but there are a lot of them!As long as more skirmishers are sent up to shoot at them, they should be driven away quickly.
In addition, the rifled guns used by snipers are very troublesome to reload. Usually, it is time to retreat after one shot, and it is impossible to complete reloading at the front line.It is estimated that they should retreat before the Spanish sharpshooter goes up.
Thinking of this, it aimed its telescope at the Inca snipers who had stood up.But I saw these snipers loading bullets... and they moved very quickly, and they were loaded in a while!
Looking at the speed at which they loaded and the tools they used (no hammer), it seemed that they were not holding rifled guns, but smoothbore guns!
How can this be?
Before the Duke of Lorraine could react, the Incas who had finished loading had already raised their muskets, aimed at the Spanish artillery and fired again!
The distance was still [-] yards, and the hit rate was less than [-]%. After a burst of clear gunshots, the Spaniards shot down seventeen or eight gunners again!
"How is this possible?" The Duke of Lorraine was a little confused.
How can musketeers kill artillery like this?How can a rifled gun be reloaded so fast?Can it be difficult for them to use rifled guns or smoothbore guns?
But the accuracy is too high, right?
"Boom..."
At this time, the 3-pound regiment guns finally fired back, but not all of them fired. Among the more than 30 3-pound guns, only 21 fired.But even if the twenty or so 3-pound guns fired were not very accurate-how accurate could a solid bullet from a smoothbore gun be to hit scattered infantry hundreds of yards away?Even if it is accurate, it won’t work. Solid bullets don’t explode. They rely on an iron lump to hit people. When encountering a dense team, they can bump into a few. If they hit scattered enemies, even if they hit them, they will kill one. The power is about the same as a rifled gun.Although the shot can hit a large piece, but four hundred yards is too far, and the shot of the 3-pound gun cannot reach it.
Twenty or so 3-pound guns were fired, and one or two of the Incas on the opposite side seemed to have died, but the remaining 400 small guns had already finished loading again in a hurry, and then all the rifled guns were raised. Got up, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the Spanish artillery more than [-] yards away, followed by another burst of crackling gunners, and then the Spanish gunners lay down fifteen or sixteen more!
The spirit of the Spanish artillery finally collapsed. They lost more than 50 people in a short period of time. The artillery positions were full of people who were dead or about to die. , the smell of blood and the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed together to form the most terrifying breath of death.
I don't know who came first and shouted: "Devils! They are devils... run away!"
Then all the gunners who could still run dropped their cannons and turned around and ran, shouting as they ran: "Devils! Devils! The Incas are all devils..."
"Damn it, a bunch of cowards!"
Seeing that his artillery position had collapsed, the Duke of Lorraine couldn't help cursing, but he also knew that it would be impossible for the 3-pound gun to shoot at the possibly enchanted flintlock in the hands of the Incas.Fortunately, he still has a lot of infantry and cavalry to use!
"Cavalry! Let the frontline cavalry charge!" The experienced Duke of Lorraine made a decisive decision and immediately gave the order for the cavalry to charge.In fact, some of his cavalry have been following those 3-pound guns, waiting for the Inca cavalry to be bombarded by the cannons and rushing out of the camp to fight back. Horseback riding and archery is the main method of warfare, but these people came to snipe with skirmishers... Oh, there are hundreds of thousands of archers squatting behind and don't know what to do?Just use cavalry to solve it together!
With the sound of a charging horn, the two battalions of Spanish "leather jacket" cavalry who had already formed their formation immediately drew their flintlock pistols and began to charge forward.
The so-called leather jacket cavalry is actually a kind of New Spanish cavalry wearing a thick buckskin jacket that can defend against Indian bows and arrows, and holding a Moorish shield. It is mainly deployed in the north of New Spain to resist those who are not very obedient. Nor could the safari Indian tribes be wiped out by the smallpox virus.The main members are all of mixed Indo-European blood. In order to get a chance to climb up, they became the vanguard of New Spain's invasion and expansion.
Because they have fought against the hunting Indians in the north for a long time, they are the Spanish imperial army who know the Indian savages best.Although they have seen that the Incas are too "un-Indian", the habit they have developed over the years still makes them use the old method of "printing" to "print Yin".That is to stare at the limp feather arrows shot by the Indians and rush up to shoot a round of flintlock pistols, and then rush up to fight hand-to-hand with sabers or spears.
But the Yin family was not an Inca after all, and the snipers of the Yin family who had just finished firing their bullets saw the cavalry approaching them, and ran away without saying a word.And those "archers" who were squatting behind immediately stood up and formed two dense horizontal lines at the fastest speed, and then trotted all the way to meet the running snipers, as if they wanted to meet those soldiers. people.But in fact……
In fact, the experienced Duke of Lorraine didn't know what he wanted to do.
Although these Inca archers and their snipers totaled nearly [-], they were not equipped with long-handled weapons such as spears, and there seemed to be no bayonets on the small number of rifled guns... What kind of "skins" did they plan to use? Jacket" cavalry?With machetes and bows?
But those Inca warriors standing in two rows didn't take down their bows and arrows or draw out their scimitars. Are they going to meet the cavalry attack with bare hands?
Just when the Duke of Lorraine was at a loss, those "bare-handed" Incas had joined the Inca snipers, and only saw one of the Inca soldiers holding a large red flag waved the flag vigorously a few times, and then all the Incas He stopped advancing, and then organized the formation as quickly as possible, and finally took a kneeling position in the front row, and a standing posture in the back row. The snipers with long guns were in the third row and were busy reloading.
What is this for?
Not only the Duke of Lorraine couldn't understand, even the Spanish "leather jacket" cavalry who charged with their flintlock pistols on horseback were a little confused-are these Incas fools?
But confusion does not affect their charge!
More than [-] war horses lined up in two rows, and the scene of running wildly with their hooves spread out is quite bluffing. More than [-] horse hooves smashed on the ground with a sound like rolling thunder. The tall war horses lined up like a moving wall of dirt. The walls, the enemies who are about to stand in front of them will be crushed!
Under normal circumstances, when the Indian warriors saw this scene, they almost collapsed-they didn't know how to deal with the cavalry who launched a group charge with muskets at all, so they could only run away.
But those "Inca archers" were not afraid at all, and they didn't run away. They just kept kneeling, standing, or reloading in a calm manner.Suddenly, the red flag was flattened abruptly.Then I saw the two rows of half-kneeling or standing "Inca Archers" put their right hands into the hem of their robes, and then pulled out a strange-looking pistol!
"Is this a pistol? The Inca archers wanted to use pistols against cavalry? But shouldn't archers use bows and arrows?" The Duke of Lorraine just had a few questions in his mind, and he had already seen a burst of flickering guns through the binoculars Mouth flames and smoke away.
The pistol of the "Inca Archer" opened fire at a distance of seventy or eighty yards from the "leather jacket" cavalry... At this distance, even a long-barreled musket can hit, let alone a pistol.So the Duke of Lorraine, who saw the muzzle flame, was not only not nervous, but also laughed: "Hahaha..."
But his laughter stopped abruptly, for there was another flash of muzzle flash and smoke—the pistols fired again without being loaded!
This is a repeating pistol?
The Duke of Lorraine's question will soon be answered, because he saw the third burst of muzzle flashes flashing, followed by the fourth, fifth, and sixth...about 1 guns The revolvers continued to "boom" for six rounds, firing more than [-] rounds of cork bullets-these revolvers were not smoothbore pistols, but rifled pistols that used cork bullets!
Although their barrels are relatively short, the effective range cannot be compared with long-barreled rifled rifles, but they are not comparable to smoothbore pistols that are difficult to hit the target ten steps away, at least not worse than ordinary flintlock muskets .Therefore, the effect of these tens of thousands of cork bullets is comparable to the salvo of tens of thousands of flintlock muskets!
The 1 or so Spanish "leather jacket" cavalry hit more than [-] bullets overwhelmingly!
When the smoke cleared on the battlefield, more than 90.00% of the cavalry were knocked to the ground with their horses and men, or their horses fell down, and they were beaten from cavalry to infantry. It's empty.There was a large area of dead people and dead horses, and some people and horses who were not completely dead let out heart-piercing wailing!
There are also thirty or forty "leather jacket" cavalrymen who probably have accumulated great virtue in their previous lives, and they have avoided all the bullets perfectly, and now there are both men and horses.But they also completely lost the courage to fight. They all turned their horses around and opened their throats like crazy while running away, shouting: "The devil! The devil is coming! Jesus, save me...Jesus, come and save us!"
And the only answer to them was the gunshot of "呯呯呯"!
The "Inca snipers" who were just busy reloading came to the front line again, and began to use their precise marksmanship to cover the retreat of the "archers" who did not shoot arrows but only shot - they had to retreat to reload!
The six-round revolver "boom" is fun, but reloading is a long time.
Seeing those cavalrymen who managed to escape from the "devil" were knocked off their horses one by one from behind, an atmosphere of fear and frustration spread among the Spanish imperial army.
There really are devils!And the devil is not only powerful, but also very cruel.Now the only way to defeat the devil is to invite Jesus to come down to earth, so everyone turned their heads to look at the cardinal holding the "Holy Spear"—now it's time for him to "invite the Lord Jesus"!
Chapter 865 The man with the white horse and red robe holding the golden spear is the Great Khan of Spain!
Cardinal Philip saw the expectant eyes of the big guys, and knew that he couldn't be a "shrinking head bishop"—he came all the way with the army with a big golden spear on his shoulders, didn't he just want to subdue demons?Now the devil himself (Zhu Heqi) has not come, but his "magic power" has arrived in the New World!
The pistols in the hands of the Incas, which can fire several bullets in a row, do not need to be investigated. They must have been made by the devil Zhu Heqi himself with "natural magic" or "supernatural magic"!
And on the battlefield in the Colorado River Bend, the only thing that can restrain the magic of the Great Devil Zhu is the Holy Spear Longinus Lance!
If Cardinal Philip, who holds the Holy Spear, is counseled now, he will not only lose a war, but lose the entire New World, at least the belief in God in New Spain.
Because this war was originally fought in the name of the battle of faith between God and the devil-if the people of God's family lose, would the Indians in the New World still be willing to follow Catholicism?
These Indians are different from European white skins. They have not converted to Catholicism for a long time, that is, more than 100 years, and their interests with Catholicism are not deeply tied.Those who join the religion are like "fifth-class Indians", while those who do not join the religion are "sixth-class Indians are not considered people".The difference between joining a religion or not is actually getting a "kill-free treatment".Even if they have souls after joining the religion, even the Spanish emperor can't just play with them.If you don't join the religion, you don't have a soul, you don't count as a person, and if you kill it, you will kill it for nothing.
But the "kill-free treatment" must be based on superiority in force.If the devil's family wins the battle of faith, it proves that the devil's force is stronger than that of the god's family at least in the North American continent... Who else would be willing to be a fifth-class Indian?Wouldn't it be nice to turn to the devil and be an "equal person" in the Aztecs?Moreover, there are the advantages of dividing the land, dividing the land, and exempting land rent.
Knowing his heavy responsibility, Cardinal Philip no longer hesitated, immediately raised his holy spear, and shouted: "God bless us! Amen!"
The Duke of Lorraine immediately drew out his sword, raised the tip of the sword up high, and shouted: "God bless! Amen!"
Archbishop Philip immediately added another sentence: "God bless, we will win! Amen!"
The Duke of Lorraine immediately looked around, and the German officers who followed him were able to pretend. They all imitated the appearance of the Duke, drew out their own swords, pointed to the sky, and shouted: "God bless us! Amen! "
Archbishop Philip saw that the atmosphere was getting a little better, so he drove his horse towards the front of the infantry formation, shouting as he walked, "God bless! Amen!"
Then the Duke of Lorraine and his officers and guards shouted together: "God bless! Amen!"
As they walked along the way, the Spanish imperial army near the place they passed all knelt on one knee and shouted: "God bless!"
The religious atmosphere and morale soared all of a sudden.
At the same time, Churchill's troops on the other side of the Colorado River were still setting off "fireworks" over the Yin's camp at the river bend.Although the lethality is not worth mentioning, it is still very scary to look at, just like God using magic to attack the camp of the devil's family in the sky!
The morale, which had been depressed just now because of the heavy damage to the artillery and cavalry, was immediately encouraged to the highest level.
And Borzigit Celing, who had already retreated to the camp, was also startled by the Spaniard who suddenly exploded, and hurriedly led a group of hundreds of households to the back of the parapet on the west side of the camp, holding a telescope to observe from afar Woke up.
This observation saw that the Spanish soldiers were kneeling down to an old man holding a golden spear, wearing a red robe, and riding a big horse!
"Celing Taiji, what did you see?"
Nearby, a hundred households of the Yin family who were close to Ceringtaiji saw Ceringtaiji frown slightly, and immediately asked questions.
Ceringtaiji put down the binoculars, frowned and said, "It seems that the Great Khan of Spain has come!"
"What? The Great Khan of Spain?"
"Cering Taiji, which one is the Great Khan of Spain?"
A group of hundreds of Yin family members on the side were all excited, and they all took out their precious binoculars and began to look around.
"The one riding a white horse, wearing a red robe, and holding a big golden spear in his hand must be their sweat!" Tseringtaiji raised his hand and pointed at Archbishop Philip, "Look, where is he, where is he from?" Kneeling to him, and screaming, it should be shouting long live in the mountains, who else could he be if he is not profusely sweating?"
This analysis makes sense!
Except that Genghis Khan doesn't wear the big red robe, isn't he similar to this Philip? , don't you also hold a Sulu ingot spear, is there someone worshiping it everywhere?
"That's right, there are people worshiping everywhere!"
"He must be the Great Khan of Spain!"
This group of Yin family members had never seen a cardinal at all, and a bishop should be similar to a great lama. He should have a magic weapon in his hand. What is holding a big golden gun?Who would shoot to death without listening to the teaching?
"Cering Taiji, the Great Khan of Spain is a big fish!"
"That's right. I heard that the Spanish Empire has a lot of gold and silver. If we catch their sweat, how can we exchange millions of silver dollars for indemnity?"
All the Yin family members knew that Spain was rich, so they immediately began to think about the compensation!
Celingtaiji laughed: "Millions of silver dollars are not enough, and we have to cede the land! I have to cede the prairie to Dameng...ah, it's to my Yin family sweat!" He looked back The group of hundreds of households around said with a smile: "In the past two years, we have fought against some savage tribes who have nothing to offer. At most, we can only catch a few women and children, and rob some horses. We will not make a lot of money. This time we can be regarded as encountering big The fish are caught, we must take good care of them, and we cannot let them escape."
