Chapter 1286 Charge Horn
Philip looked at the battlefield, and the Spanish legions were fighting according to his instructions, and the progress was relatively smooth.
This made Commander Philip a little proud, and at this moment, the security forces interspersed south along the battlefield and appeared near the Spanish command post.
Zhao Tai led his subordinates through a forest. The lights were brightly lit in front of them, and people shouted and neighed, which was obviously the enemy's base camp.
Zhao Tai squatted in the dark and said excitedly: "I found it."
Several soldiers were alerted, the deputy team and the backbone of the team gathered around him, "What should I do now?"
Zhao Tai held the musket tightly and observed the enemy camp. He found that there were many people and many officers in the camp. "What else can I do? Go and report to the brigade commander. Once we bring it here, we will win the battle."
A soldier hurried to report the message, and at this moment, a team of Spanish cavalry came outside the camp.
Outside the Spanish command post, there were horse-rejected piles, sandbags piled up behind them, cannons were installed in fortifications, and sentries were leisurely and leisurely with weapons on their backs.
At this time, the sentry saw the arrival of the cavalry, quickly moved away and stood attentively to salute. An officer immediately turned over and dismounted and asked, "Where is the Commander?"
The sentry saluted immediately, "Report to the captain, the commander is in the command."
When the officer heard this, he immediately went to the command center, picked up the tent directly, and reported to Commander Philip, who was about to rest, "Commander, our army bypassed the city and surrounded and chased northwards, and met a army of Qianren!"
Commander Philip Frowned slightly, "Did you send troops to obstruct the pursuit in the city?"
"Master, they are well-equipped and sharply fought. They ate my outpost, and then avoid us and penetrated southwards." The captain officer replied in a deep voice.
"Walking south?" Philip was in disbelief and walked to the map and asked, "How many people are there?"
"About a thousand people, I don't know if there are any behind them!" The captain saluted solemnly: "Master, will they come to the headquarters?"
Philip's heart was shocked. Most of the 30,000 Spanish troops had been sent out, and only more than a thousand people were left in the command post.
Where did this Qianren army come from? Is Qianren pretending to retreat, actually trying to take his headquarters?
"Master, for your safety, I suggest that the headquarters be transferred immediately!" the captain suggested.
Philip was pacing back and forth in the tent, with some doubts in his heart, but he suddenly sneered, "Hmph, with the combat power of the Qian people in Yindu City, it is a whim to attack this place. He sent the order to strengthen the defense, and then let Captain Marilud transfer two thousand soldiers back to the rescue, and the rest of the troops continued to move forward according to the plan. They were too naive to attack the command post of this commander."
At this time, Zhao Tai lay outside the Spanish command post, but the soldiers beside him suddenly exclaimed: "Look at the team!"
When Zhao Tai heard the sound, he saw several Spanish officers coming out of the barracks and shouting loudly. The originally careless Spanish soldiers immediately returned to their positions and alerted with guns.
Meanwhile, several Spanish soldiers rolled over their horses, as if they were about to leave the command post.
This made Zhao Tai frown. Everything happened after the previous officer entered, and the Spanish command post changed, making him wonder what news the Spanish might have received.
"Can't wait, come with me!" Zhao Tai made a quick decision, carried a musket, and quickly ambushed on both sides of the road outside the camp gate.
At this time, the Spanish sentry moved away from the horse-rejecting pile, and several Spanish messengers immediately ran out on horseback.
"Call me!" Zhao Tai raised the musket and shouted loudly.
A "bang" sounded, and the Spanish cavalry fell off their horses.
The moment he fired, the soldiers lying on both sides threw grenades and shot together. The explosions made people howling and neighing, and several cavalrymen were instantly fucked.
The sudden change shocked the Spanish in the command post. The Spanish in the camp shouted loudly, immediately entered the fortification with muskets and began to fire guns into the darkness.
In the command center, Commander Philip was shocked when he heard the voice, and he couldn't help but sigh that Gan Chaoren was cunning and actually attacked his command post.
"Commander, the soldiers who sent out to pass the orders were attacked by the enemy. What should we do now?" An officer broke in and reported.
Commander Philip was calm and composed, with a general look, and said calmly: "Don't be nervous, keep the camp. Captain Marilud saw the scene here and would send soldiers to reinforce."
Commander Philip's confidence comes from his understanding of the strength of fighting for more than half a month.
He felt that with the strength of the Xinshang Company, he did not have the ability to attack his command center.
However, Commander Philip miscalculated and was not the ordinary Shang army, but the veterans who had retired from Chaozhou.
The colonial army in the Governor of New Spain had no problem fighting indigenous people in Yinzhou, and could also bully the merchant army with its equipment advantage, but compared with the army that had been fighting, they were not enough.
At this time, Zhao Tai attacked the cavalry who reported the news and exchanged fire with the Spanish army in the camp on the front. The Spanish were not sure about the situation outside and fired muskets indiscriminately.
Zhou Bin, who was rushing to the sky, heard the gunshots and immediately changed his course of marching. "A team went to support Zhao Tai and restrain the enemy. The rest of the brothers followed me to flank the flanks."
The fierce frontal firefight attracted the attention of the enemy on the battlefield, causing Marilude, who was besieging Liu Jiqiu, to frown slightly. He was closest to the command post and first discovered that the command post was attacked, but it did not attract attention.
Because the Spanish army was firing when they heard the gunshots, they only heard the sound of other muskets sporadically. The only thing that puzzled him was that the sound of muskets he had never heard before, unlike muskets equipped by the Shang army.
Just as he was confused, Zhou Bin had already deviated to the flank of the enemy's command post, and at this time, the Spaniards had been attracted to the front.
Zhou Bin was not hesitating. The Shang army could not stand the war until now. If they all evacuated, it would be meaningless to capture the command post.
"Blow the charge!" Zhou Bin immediately called, "Hu Zun cannon and grenades lead the way, brothers follow me to kill in."
After the military order, a soldier stood up and raised his head to blew the horn of charge.
The Spanish were not familiar with the sound of a passionate and sharp trumpet, but after that, it would become a demonic sound that made all colonists frightened and collapsed when they heard it.
"Kill!" At the moment when the horn sounded, Zhou Bin jumped up, and the soldiers behind him immediately picked up muskets and launched a powerful attack on the enemy camp.
