Below the hill, the colonists' artillery lined up.

At this time, the officer in charge ordered the flag to wave downwards, and the artillery immediately lit the lead of the artillery, and the flames penetrated into the cannon chamber with a "swish" sound.

With a sound of "Boom!", each artillery suddenly retreated, and the muzzles rose, and a ball of white smoke and shells roared at the mountain positions.

"Bang bang bang" loudly, and the shells hit hard, splashing mud, and the earth and rocks flew into the sky and fell down, hitting the soldiers in the trench.

In Yindu City, Ren Ren of the Jiang family watched the mountain being bombarded with a serious expression and said to everyone around him: "The vanguard of the Spanish began to attack."

Zhao Ming put on a pergola in his hand and looked out, "General, should you send your brothers out to restrain the enemy?"

Jiang Jiaren nodded slightly, "This suggestion is OK. It is best to let Ji Qiu drag it until the afternoon and then retreat into the reverse slope position."

"Okay!" Zhao Ming responded happily, and then greeted: "Old Zhou, Zhai Chuan, you guys will lead the team out and restrain the enemy from attacking the mountain!"

"As for the order!" Two officers held their fists and took the order, went downstairs to prepare.

At this time, the shelling continued. Liu Jiqiu led a thousand soldiers and hid behind the shelter and did not dare to show his head.

Captain Marilude from the mountain was watching the results of the shelling with a telescope.

Soon after, the artillery fired several rounds, the surface fortifications on the hill were damaged, and the circular wall was not seen. Captain Marilud immediately put down his telescope and turned his head and ordered: "The infantry company is ready to attack."

At this time, hundreds of colonists who were arraying in the mountains had inspected their equipment and were ready to attack the mountain.

Captain Marilud waved his hand and the Spanish colonists' army advanced towards the hill under the cover of artillery fire.

The soldiers in charge of observing the position of the Shang army on the top of the mountain found that the enemy began to attack the mountain, then slipped down the trench, came to Liu Jiqiu, and said anxiously: "General, the enemy's infantry began to attack the mountain."

When Liu Jiqiu heard this, he quickly poked his head out and saw the Spaniards starting to attack the mountain.

Hundreds of Spanish troops, under the cover of artillery, climbed towards the mountain. Liu Jiqiu immediately ordered, "Brothers, the enemy is going to attack the mountain and prepare for battle."

The soldiers hiding in the bunker and in the trench immediately took muskets and bows and arrows, lay on the fortifications, staring at the approaching enemies.

Xinshang Company lacks firearms and long-range weapons, and cannot injure the enemy from a long distance. It can only watch the enemy approach slowly and wait until they enter the range before they attack.

Liu Jiqiu lay behind the cover, staring at the dark enemy, raised his left hand, and when the enemy entered the range, he suddenly waved it and shouted loudly: "The musketeer will fight me."

"Bang bang bang" The musketeer behind the bunker pulled the trigger, and the muzzle smoke rose, spraying out gun flames, and bullets shot straight at the enemy group.

The Spaniard in plate armor was hit by bullets, sparks splashed everywhere, his body stumbled slightly, and the person was hit on his thigh, screaming and kneeling on the ground.

"Roll!" Seeing the musketeers on the hill fire, the Spanish officer raised his short-barrel flintlock and shouted loudly.

At this time, the Spaniards, who had reached a hundred steps in front of the touchdown, immediately divided into two teams, hundreds of musketeers, stopped, half-squatted and raised the musket, pointed the muzzle at the top of the hill, and shot back. Hundreds of other people continued to charge forward under the cover of musketeers and artillery.

The Spanish musketeers were divided into three teams and took turns shooting. The smoke of gunpowder was filled with gunpowder and the bullets roared towards the top of the mountain, killing the Shang soldiers and not getting up.

Several soldiers wanted to shoot, but as soon as they leaned out, they were hit by muskets and screamed and rolled into the trench.

"The general's enemy's firepower is too strong." The soldiers hid behind the cover and did not dare to show their heads.

Seeing that the mountain musketeer was completely suppressed, the Spaniard's firepower was too strong, Liu Jiqiu gritted his teeth and said, "If you persist, you can't withdraw so quickly."

At this time, he poked his head out, and a projectile hit the bunker in front of him, splashing mud. He quickly lowered his head. When he looked up again, the Spaniards were approaching a line of defense, and the soldiers of the Shang army, both musketeers and archers, were suppressed by the enemy's musketeers' guns.

There was a soldier who couldn't help but hold the bow and arrow. As soon as he stood up and prepared to shoot the approaching enemy, he was hit by a projectile in his chest and fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, Liu Jiqiu ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly withdraw your defense, put the enemy up, and then fight against each other in a short time, so that their muskets cannot play their advantage."

The messenger quickly conveyed the order, and the soldiers hiding behind the bunker hurriedly hurriedly retreated along the trench, and retreated behind the second bunker.

This was the Spanish attacking force, which smoothly crossed the trench and over the earth wall, occupying the first line of defense.

Captain Marilude at the foot of the mountain saw the infantry attacking the first line of defense of the Shang army, and smiled on his face, "The powerful firepower of the imperial army is actually something these barbarians can resist. I will take down all the outer positions outside Yindu before Commander Philip arrives, and even break through Yindu."

At this time, when he was proud, gunfire suddenly burst into flames on the top of the mountain and smoke filled the gunpowder. The soldiers who retreated to the second defense suddenly opened fire, fired arrows, and then shouted and rushed back from three directions.

The distance between the first defense and the second defense is only fifty or sixty steps. The soldiers of the Shang army who retreated to the second defense can directly shoot and kill the Spaniards who attacked the first defense from a high point.

At this time, the Spanish musketeers were still at the 100 steps away from the first defense and did not follow up. The Shang army on the second defense was not suppressed by the fire. They stood up and shot, and shot arrows.

For a moment, the projectiles shot from the muskets were poured densely at the enemy, and the rain of arrows shot by the archers fell from the sky like a dense net.

The Spanish army, which had just entered the defense, was shot up by projectiles and arrows, and they fell to the ground one after another.

"Brothers, kill me!" Liu Jiqiu was the first to jump out of the bunker, thrust the bayonet, and shouted loudly into the enemy group.

A thousand Shang soldiers on the top of the mountain were divided into three groups, one followed Liu Jiqiu from the front and rushed into the enemy group, and the other two surrounded from the left and right wings, and actually wanted to eat the enemy troops rushing into the first defense.

At the foot of the mountain, Captain Marilud was shocked to see this scene.

However, the Spanish army was with nearly a thousand Shangs, so that the Spanish artillery and musket team could not attack.

At this time, the two armies that were stirring up the hills were fighting fiercely. The soldiers stabbed each other with bayonets, smashed the butts, hugged each other, and their heads were bleeding and their brains burst.

Seeing this, Captain Marilud hurriedly issued an order, "Quick! Reinforce the troops on the hill."

At this time, the Spanish army at the foot of the mountain was preparing for reinforcements. The gate of Yindu City suddenly opened. Two teams of nearly a thousand Shang soldiers rushed out of the city and surrounded the two wings of the mountain.

In this way, the Spanish troops who were preparing for reinforcements at the foot of the mountain did not dare to rush up the mountain. The Spanish who attacked the mountain had no support and were driven down by the Shang army in a short while.

Liu Jiqiu stood on the top of the mountain, carrying a musket, and blood dripped from the bayonet. He looked down on the hillside, and the colonists who were rolling and climbing down the mountain couldn't help but raise the musket and cheered loudly: "Aoah~"

The soldiers of the Shang army who regained their defense also raised their weapons and shouted excitedly: "Haha, we won! We won! Aoah..."
