Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Chapter 124 Frustration in the First Battle

Spain suffered successive setbacks and lost nearly half of its troops, but now the total strength of both sides is equal.

Although the Baoan Army has two more musketeers and is equipped with the most advanced Suifu guns, the Spanish Army has several artillery, which is enough to make up for the lack of power of the matchlock guns.

However, Diego Longquillo also knew that the Baoan Army would definitely not be a match for the Baoan Army if they fought head-on, but it would definitely not work if they were unable to defend the camp.

The defeats in the past few days had originally caused the morale of the army to be low. Now that they can no longer defend the camp, the morale will undoubtedly be even lower.

In addition, the newly reorganized troops themselves have many hidden dangers. If they really cannot leave the camp, it is likely to cause a mutiny in the army after a fight.

Therefore, it is necessary for the entire army to go to war, but how to fight and how long to fight are very particular.

The armies of both sides have already set up their formations, and the war is about to break out.

Hou Yao stood behind the military formation and looked at the opponent's military formation with a telescope. He was shocked when eighteen dark artillery pieces came into view.

The biggest feature of the spear formation is that the formation is dense. If it is not dense, the power of the spear formation cannot be exerted at all.

If such a dense military formation was bombarded by artillery, the losses would be huge.

So before the battle started, there was an emergency change of formation.

Fortunately, Hou Yao ordered quickly.

As soon as the Baoan Army's formation changed into a loose formation, the Spanish Army's artillery fired.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

Eighteen artillery shells flew in, and several wails suddenly sounded in the Baoan army.

Hou Yao was horrified to see it. Fortunately, it was still a solid bullet. What if it was a shell bullet?

The opponent's artillery has already fired a salvo. This kind of primitive artillery takes a long time to change the shells, so we can't let them continue to fire.

"All troops attack, advance and shoot."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Bao'an army marched towards the Spanish army's formation with neat steps.

"Bah bah bah bah bah bah..."

"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah..."

The sound of muskets from both sides rang out almost simultaneously.This time the Spaniards learned the lesson, and the Luzon soldiers in the front row all took a wooden shield wrapped in leather and quilts.

Although they were all made overnight, the casualty rate was reduced a lot.

The fire suppression of Sangan's matchlock soldiers is also very important, and it can also cause some casualties to the Bao'an army.

In comparison, the Baoan Army's fire suppression was definitely stronger. Wuqian's Suifa Lancers used forward shooting tactics, causing a lot of damage to the Spanish Army.

Seeing that the army was about to press 50 meters into the Spanish army's formation, suddenly the Spanish army retreated and placed eighteen cannons in front of the formation.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

Eighteen artillery pieces adjusted to horizontal firing immediately caused a large number of casualties to the Baoan Army, and there was also a brief chaos in the military formation.

The Spanish army launched a charge at the right time, and the armies of both sides began their first hand-to-hand combat.

The Baoan Army's formation was in chaos, giving them the opportunity to attack the formation from both wings.

At this point, the Japanese pirates' combat power has been fully demonstrated.In this kind of dense melee, the small Japanese pirates can sneak around in the chaos and make sneak attacks.

For a time, the Baoan Army suffered a large number of casualties on both wings, and it took a long time to slowly stabilize its position.

Both wings of the Baoan Army completed their small formation assembly to resist the Japanese attack.

Once the "Seven Stars Gongyue" formation is assembled, it still has the advantage of a small army melee.

The Baoan Army had already suffered heavy losses on the two flanks, and the Chinese Army wanted to make up for it, advancing and firing to suppress the Spanish Army for thirty steps.

The Spanish central army finally couldn't resist and collapsed completely. After nearly a hundred Spanish soldiers died, Diego Ronquillo finally gave the order to withdraw the troops.

Since the two wings were restrained, the Baoan Army was unable to pursue them and could only watch as they calmly retreated into the camp.

Hou Yao could only order to withdraw his troops. The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and both sides suffered huge casualties.

It seems that it is quite difficult to eat them all in one go.

After the war, the number of casualties was counted, and it turned out that there were more than 60.00 casualties, [-]% of which were caused by Japanese troops.

This was really a new grudge before the old grudge was resolved. Hou Yao swore silently in his heart that Li Jingfeng would pay with his blood.

At the same time, he also had a new understanding of the Spanish army's combat power.

Of course, the Spanish army suffered more casualties than the Baoan army, with more than five thousand casualties.

Diego Longquillo was still frightened after losing so many people in one battle. The frontal firepower of the Baoan Army was simply unable to resist.

If it weren't for the eighteen artillery pieces that caused a brief chaos in the military formation on the opposite side, the Japanese army would have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In today's battle, I'm afraid I will be completely defeated.

……

As soon as he heard that the war was over, Ji Wenjun came to the military camp in the name of a labor force. First, he visited the injured soldiers and then went to the wounded barracks.

The wounded soldiers all said that they were just bitten by mosquitoes, and it was not a big deal if they were bitten by mosquitoes.

There was even a seriously injured soldier. Ji Wenjun personally helped him tighten the bandage. The guy actually wanted to sit up in a dying illness, struggling desperately to sit up and thank him.

Ji Wenjun was so frightened that he hurriedly held him down and calmed down his excitement with some kind words.

The soldier was moved to tears by the princess's actions, and the soldiers around him also felt the same way.

Everyone kowtows to the princess to express gratitude. This is a blessing that requires several lifetimes of cultivation to receive such care from the princess.

Outside the wounded barracks, those who were not injured felt extremely regretful when they found out. Why were they not injured?Otherwise, I would have had close contact with the princess just now.

Being able to smell the fairy spirit on the princess will definitely prolong your life and enjoy endless benefits.

After coming out of the wounded barracks, Ji Wenjun took people to the Chinese army's tent again.

In the Chinese military camp, Hou Yaola leaned on the bed with her head hunched, feeling extremely depressed, lamenting her bad luck in her heart.

Zhuo Liang had a complete victory against the Spanish army twice before, with almost no losses.

Why did these people completely change their faces when it was their turn to take command?

No matter what reasons and excuses there are, one cannot deny the fact that his commanding ability is far inferior to Zhu Liangao.

Ji Wenjun and Yu Xiuer walked in from the door.

Seeing Hou Yao's angry look, she felt a little distressed. Yu Xiuer walked to Hou Yao's side and softly comforted:

"Ms. sir, didn't you interrogate the prisoners just now? We didn't know that the Po navy and the Japanese army were annexed by the barbarians. It's not your fault. In fact, you have commanded it very well."

Hou Yao sighed:

"It's just that a lot of people were injured, so I feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, I know."

Ji Wenjun said with a straight face:

"There is no immortality in a war. General Zhu just took advantage of the enemy's underestimation and omission to win two battles. Now that the enemy is on guard, it will naturally be difficult to fight. You sit up, my lord, and take a look. What do you look like? How can you become a pillar of the country if you can't stand a little setback?"

The corners of Hou Yao's eyes twitched. There were no outsiders now. This girl must be crazy for daring to talk to herself like this.

"Who is the pillar of the country? I am just a seventh-grade official, so I am the pillar of the country. The world of your Ji family is none of my business."

Ji Wenjun was short of breath for a moment. A county magistrate, or a magistrate in a remote area, is indeed not a pillar of the country.But of course she couldn't just admit defeat.

"You are my master's man. If you become the consort in the future, you will have your share in this world. How can you say it is none of your business?"

Hou Yao smiled contemptuously, and then glanced at Yu Xiuer:

"Who said I want to be a prince-in-law? My dream is to become the man of One Piece. Who wants to get involved in your family's troubles?"

Yu Xiuer's pretty face turned red after being spoken to, while Ji Wenjun said with a bitter look on his face:

"You... you treat others..., you... you are still not a man, how can you say such things?"

Hou Yao rolled his eyes:

"Wait a minute, don't rely on me. I am the victim. It was you who did evil things to me. I was forced by your power, so don't rely on me."

"You..., you..., good, good Hou Yao, after all, it was the owner who paid by mistake..."

"Wait a minute, please explain clearly what the wrong payment is. I didn't do anything. Don't think of wrongly accusing me..., oh..."

Hou Yao was still making excuses shamelessly, but was suddenly bitten on the face by Ji Wenjun.

Ever since he was a child, he had never suffered such a loss. Hou Yao couldn't be bitten in vain, so he immediately turned around and pinned Ji Wenjun under him and bit him back:

If you dare to bite my face, I will bite your mouth. I bite...

Yu Xiuer was anxious and at a loss what to do next to her:

"Ms., princess, you..., if you have something to say, don't... move your mouth, this..."

I wanted to pull the two people apart, but seeing that the two of them had bitten off each other's clothes, do you still want to pull them apart?

Ji Wenjun had very few clothes left on his body. He suddenly stood up and shouted angrily:

"You only bully little women like me. If you have the ability, try bullying Sister Xiu'er."

How could Hou Yao bear such excitement? He shouted:

"Just try it."

After saying that, he immediately stood up and hugged Yu Xiuer, pushing her down on the bed. Ji Wenjun also turned over and held her down.

Yu Xiuer never expected that the two of them would suddenly target her.

She was extremely panicked, but the princess was pressing on her, and she didn't dare to resist vigorously, for fear of hurting the princess.

Hou Yao took the opportunity to move his hands up and down, taking off her coat in three or two strokes, and then took off her pants.

"Ah——" Yu Xiuer was so horrified that she no longer held back her hand. A pair of flexible jade legs rolled up her legs and caught Hou Yao who was about to do something evil.

Hou Yao quickly apologized:

"Put it down... put your legs down, put your legs down... You are going to strangle me..."

Yu Xiuer crossed her hands, pushed the princess to the end of the bed with a gentle push, then rolled over and threw Hou Yao over.

"Mr...Mr. Gong, I'm sorry, you...just go and fight by yourselves. I...I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, he picked up the clothes and pants on the ground, ran to the side, put them on, and then ran out of the barracks.

Ji Wenjun snorted coldly:

"It's really useless. You can't defeat Sister Xiu'er with my help. What else can you say? Apart from bullying a weak woman like me, what else can you do?"

Hou Yao said with an angry expression:

"She has third-level skills. It doesn't matter if I can't control her. What do you have? You dare to talk to me like this, so why should I bully you?"

"Come on, I'm afraid of you. It doesn't matter who bullies whom. Let you try Sister Xiu'er's new trick, Xishi Huansha from "The Secret Book of Great Weapons"..."

"What? In "The Secret Book of Great Weapons", women can also practice it...?"
