Just as this square array entered the range of shooting range, a look of joy flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes and he shouted suddenly: "Click!"

As the words fell, a wave of arrows and muskets sounded, and a piece of gunpowder filled the smoke. On the opposite side, the sound of vocal music suddenly changed in the square formation, and large shields stood up.

With the sound of thunderbolt, most of the arrows returned without success. Even the lead bullets fired by the musket hit the shield and it was difficult for the soldiers behind the shield to hurt them.

After the square formation, Governor George and Count Harry actually rode on a tall horse, wearing military uniforms and using a thousand-mile mirror to watch the battle between the two sides.

Governor George could only hear the expression of grave: "Earl Harry, these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are very brave, which is much stronger than the natives we have seen in the past."

But Count Harry looked as if he was taken for granted, "That's natural, don't forget that it was hundreds of years ago that Marco Polo recorded this eastern country in his travelogues. If this country was really as ignorant as the natives we have seen, how could a splendid civilization be born, creating such gorgeous silk and firing such exquisite porcelain."

As he said that, Count Harry looked confident and said, "No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it is impossible for us to be our opponent."

Whether it is the Netherlands or Portugal, the navies of the two countries have almost never encountered any opponents. The repeated victories have already made these people psychologically conceive of winning.

So after learning that Daliqisi had lost in the sea confrontation, the first thing that came to mind was to join forces with Governor George to mobilize a large number of troops.

During this period, Portugal had already surpassed the Netherlands and vaguely became the most powerful country on the sea, especially its invincible fleet, which was famous throughout the countries.

A squadron was defeated by accident. At least Count Harry could not accept this failure.

If it weren't for Dalichi's defeat that caused the Portuguese fleet's military strength to plummet on the other side, Count Harry would not even plan to unite with the Netherlands and use the power of the Dutch.

Now the coalition forces of the two countries have dispatched as much as 5,000 troops alone, almost emptied the powerful forces accumulated by the two countries in the East over the years.

A rapid sound of horns sounded, and the large shields immediately separated, and a team of chief archers appeared.

There were about a thousand long archers in this pair, and they were always in the middle of the square. Their faces and ears were wrapped in cloth, their shoulders were covered with chains, their wrists were protected by leather ropes and leather blocks, and there were protective leather covers at the joints of their fingers, and short swords and leather bags were hung on their belts. They wore various armors, and some were just an ordinary interlayer tights.

The most eye-catching thing is the longbows on these people. Compared with ordinary longbows, these longbows are very eye-catching, nearly two meters long.

Such a longbow that is far taller than one person is extremely rare in the east, but such a longbow in the west is famous, and it is the Scottish longbow.

The lethality and firing rate of Scottish longbows were extremely amazing. With the battle between Britain and France that year, the Scottish longbows performed extremely amazingly, and the Scottish longbows became famous throughout the Western world.

Although Portugal has average combat power, it is not difficult to spend a lot of money to build a Scottish longbow team with Portugal's strength.

This Scottish longbow team of about a thousand people is one of the thousands of Scottish longbows in the Kingdom of Portugal.

However, Count Harry's conquest of the Ming Dynasty brought this team with him, and regarded it as a killer to decide the outcome of the war.

At this moment, he saw the courage of the Ming soldiers. Earl Harry and Governor George knew very well that their greatest disadvantage was to fight across the ocean. If there were too many casualties and injuries among his soldiers, even if they could win a war, they would have to lose.

If the Ming soldiers were about to collapse at the touch, then Count Harry would not have used the English longbow. However, only looking at the firepower and the closer distance between the two sides, the Ming soldiers showed no signs of chaos, which made Count Harry realize the difficulty of the opponent.

Cheng Yan did not expect that these opponents would be so difficult. Although the muskets or arrows brought some damage to these soldiers, relatively speaking, these injuries were not enough to hurt the muscles and could not stop the coalition phalanx from continuing to move forward.

In the port, Cheng Yan could choose to retreat, but in Qingtian Town, Cheng Yan had the responsibility to defend the territory, either died in battle or escaped at the last minute.

Cheng Yan is not the greedy person who is afraid of death, so he naturally would not choose to escape at the last minute. Now that he just fought, Cheng Yan realized that this enemy, who came from some unknown place, was very difficult.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Yan suddenly drew his sword in his hand, shouted at the soldiers around him with a long roar, "Soldiers, can you dare to follow me to kill the enemy!"

"The Ming Dynasty has thousands of victories, and the Ming Dynasty has thousands of victories!"

With a shout, a soldier's eyes flashed with excitement, as if a tiger had left the box, followed Cheng Yan and headed towards the coalition formation ahead.

At this moment, thousands of Scottish longbowmen had already swam in the square formation, and the sound of drumming suddenly became rapid. The soldiers who were originally well-equipped to take out the arrows behind them instantly.

Long arrows broke through the sky, and suddenly the sky was covered with darkness, and rain of arrows actually covered the Ming soldiers rushing towards the formation.

Cheng Yan was suddenly shocked when he was galloping on his horse, and suddenly saw a rain of arrows covering the square formation.

"not good!"

Cheng Yan thought to himself that something was wrong and shouted: "Everyone dispersed, let go quickly!"

At the same time, Cheng Yan immediately turned over, and his whole body suddenly turned from the horse's back to the horse's belly. The sound of arrows entering the body came.

Cheng Yan, whose body was bumpy, felt that the figure that followed him suddenly became sparse. Thunderous wailing sounds came. Even if you didn't have to look at it, just based on your imagination, Cheng Yan could imagine how much harm this wave of arrow rain brought to his men.

Almost nearly a thousand soldiers rushed to the formation, but after a rain of arrows, at least hundreds of soldiers were nailed to the earth by arrows.

Even if the arrow grows much more than ordinary arrows, and if you are nailed to the ground by such arrows, it can be said that unless you have a great life, there will be only one way to die.

With a long neigh, there were no more than ten arrows inserted into Cheng Yan's mount. These arrows entered the body, and the originally galloping war horse could not even rise.

Cheng Yan was directly pierced by an arrow on his shoulder. The moment the war horse fell to the ground, Cheng Yan, who was hidden under the horse's belly, rolled out several meters away with the arrow on his shoulder, which was only a few feet away from Portugal and the Dutch coalition formation.

Holding the arrow inserted on his shoulder, Cheng Yan's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He shouted suddenly and pulled out the arrow, bringing out a piece of flesh and blood.

Cheng Yan's shoulders were covered in blood, and most of his body was stained with blood. In addition, he was in a very embarrassing state, so it seemed that Cheng Yan's condition was very bad now.

Instantly sealing the acupoints on his shoulders, Cheng Yan breathed a little relieved. When he looked up and looked forward, there was a neatly arranged team.

Following Cheng Yan, the soldiers who escaped the rain of arrows by chance were only a few dozen people. As for the other soldiers, they were stunned, looking at their companions lying in disbelief.

A famous companion was pierced through the body by a group of arrows, and nailed to the ground, especially when the arrow penetrated through the body and was nailed to the ground, but he did not die on the spot. He could only scream to vent his pain. This scene was definitely a great impact and test on the will of the soldiers.

Obviously, these soldiers were stunned for a moment. To be precise, they did not expect that there were such terrible arrows in this world.

If it is an arrow such as a bed crossbow or a Baniu crossbow, that's fine. After all, it's very difficult to launch such a terrible arrow, and it's more of a deterrent on the battlefield.

But no one could have thought that such a long arrow was so powerful and had such a fast shooting speed. As an ordinary soldier, perhaps he could not realize the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of long bow, but its lethality was the most intuitive.

Hundreds of companions were killed and injured almost in an instant, and it was reasonable that these soldiers were suppressed. After all, these soldiers were living lives, not puppets that were not afraid of life and death.

The current situation is that dozens of soldiers followed Cheng Yan and rushed to the front of the coalition phalanx. At the same time, there was a fault behind him. Within a distance of at least ten feet, there were no other soldiers except for hundreds of soldiers who fell to the ground and wailed.

dozens of soldiers including Cheng Yan appeared in front of the coalition army. As the commander of the coalition army, they naturally noticed Cheng Yan and others. After all, Cheng Yan and others were so close to the square formation, if they really charge forward, they could add up swords and swords in just a few breaths.

The muskets were aimed at Cheng Yan and others. When they were locked by the musket, Cheng Yan also reacted, narrowed his eyes, and jumped almost like instinct, and swung the long sword in his hand.

"kill!"

If you want to survive, you can only rush forward and fight closely into the phalanx to avoid the threat of muskets and longbows. Otherwise, even if you want to escape, you will definitely not be able to escape the shooting of muskets and longbows.

Cheng Yan reacted very quickly. Even though his shoulder was injured, he jumped across several feet away. With a flash of sword light, he saw several heads flying up and blood sprinkled. More than a dozen coalition soldiers who witnessed this scene were shocked and looked at Cheng Yan, who was like a blood man in fear. Fupin Chinese
