Chapter 1330 We are all sharpshooters

After the Spanish army occupied the Yin capital, they used this place as their base and continued to attack the villages of Xinshang Company.

At the same time, the British and French colonists who were defeated by Xinshang Company earlier saw the Spanish army making progress on the southern line and came again from the east, gradually eroding the living space of Xinshang Company.

A year after the third encirclement and suppression began, Xinshang Company had lost all the land on the central plain east of the Rocky Mountains, and to the south, the Yindu and Zhouhe River basins. It could only retreat to the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada Mountains, relying on complex terrain to fight guerrillas with the colonists.

At this time, in the Yin Capital, Spanish troops gathered, and ten thousand people gathered here.

Out of the experience and lessons of the last time, the Spanish army did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. After Colonel Malilude occupied Yindu, he built fortifications here to store grain, wait for other troops to clear the nearby Shang army, and then steadily advance.

"This group of damn kids is really tenacious, but facing the empire's iron wall siege, they will definitely be able to be wiped out this time!" Major Marilud stood in front of the map and formulated a combat plan with his subordinates. "Have you replenished the food and weapons?"

"His major, the supply ship has arrived in California Bay. In another month, we will be able to prepare enough supplies to continue the attack!"

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Marilud immediately reminded: "Those who are cunning and will definitely continue to attack our transport team. We must be more vigilant! Do you understand?"

"Yes! Please rest assured that we have increased our escort team and established strongholds on the transportation line to ensure that the killers cannot take away a piece of food and a pound of gunpowder!" The officer hurriedly saluted.

Mariluth nodded with satisfaction, "Your Excellency the Governor wrote me a letter, not wanting Kingsoft to fall into the hands of Britain and France, so we must launch an attack as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Many officers saluted.

At this time, on the road forty miles south of Yindu City, a team of more than a hundred Spanish troops were driving slaves and escorting grain trucks to Yindu.

The Spanish army is now 500 miles deep into Xinshang Company, and the villages along the way are destroyed. Their food and material supplies are transported by fleets to the Bay of California, from Shanghe to Shangkou Town, and then travel more than 200 miles by land to Yindu.

Therefore, this route became the route for Shang army soldiers to focus on ambushing.

In order to restrain the Spanish attack, the security forces broke into pieces and destroyed the Spanish army's transportation lines in the Spanish occupied area. Several consecutive attacks made it difficult for the Spanish to replenish supplies. At the same time, they also needed to divide their troops to defend the towns in the occupied area, which led to the Spanish army temporarily stopping the northward advance.

However, after the Spaniards suffered several attacks and were robbed of several batches of food, Major Marilud passed by and learned the news from the escaped soldiers, and roughly learned about the situation of the Shang army attacking the grain team.

Because the Spanish army cleared out near Yindu, the Shang army was unable to maintain large units and operated in the occupied areas.

A team of thousands of people is easily discovered by the Spanish army and becomes the target of pursuit and extermination. Therefore, the Shang army fighting guerrillas in the occupied areas are scattered into multiple shares, with no more than a hundred people per share.

Combining this feature, Major Malilude increased the escort of the transport team and increased the escort's strength to a hundred people.

In this way, even if the transport team is attacked, the number of Spanish troops will be equivalent to the number of attackers and will not be at a disadvantage.

In addition, he also stationed two hundred soldiers every fifty miles on the transportation line to build a stronghold to rest the transport team, and immediately reinforcements were made when the transport team was attacked.

After making these response strategies, the Spanish transport team was indeed much safer. Since then, the Shang army has launched many attacks, but they all ended in failure.

At this time in the woods, Zhao Tai saw the Spanish transport team leave the stronghold and continue on the road. He hurriedly left with a musket and went to a valley to report.

"Brail coach, the enemy's grain transport team has left the stronghold and is coming here!" Zhao Tai ran to Sun Li and lay down.

Sun Li showed joy, "Okay! It hasn't opened for more than a month. I will definitely eat them this time!"

After the Spaniards added guards and established multiple strongholds along the road, Sun Li's team of troops ended in failure several times.

Because the number of Spanish guards increased and well-equipped, the Shang army had no advantage when ambushing, and often halfway through the attack, the enemy troops in the stronghold would come to reinforce, so that the ambushing Shang army could only retreat in a hurry.

"Hi coach, can this time work?" Zhao Tai and others were puzzled.

The failure of several consecutive ambushes made everyone feel a little down.

Sun Li said seriously: "We have new guns from the court, so we will definitely do it! When the enemy enters the ambush circle later, they will obey my orders and hit his officer first. When they meet someone wearing plate armor, they will hit him in the face and limbs, so that they can quickly lose their combat effectiveness!"

After hearing this, everyone cheered up, nodded, and then scattered back to mobilize the soldiers in their team before the war, and explain the key points of post-war combat.

Soon, the Spanish transport team came slowly.

Soldiers wearing breastplate, Cheng Liang's iron helmet, and carrying flintlock muskets walked on both sides of the road, guarding the transport vehicles in the middle.

At this time, Sun Li picked up the musket and aimed directly at the Spanish officer riding on the horse in front of the team.

Suddenly, Sun Li pulled the trigger, and with a click, the hammer hit the scythe, and the sparks were broken out. The gun chamber suddenly made a "bang" sound, and the gun rod suddenly shook backwards.

At this time, gunpowder exploded in the gun chamber, red flames, scorching hot air, huge chamber pressure, pushing the conical bullet, and the significantly rotating rifle fired out at a high speed.

The thrust of the gunpowder explosion gave the bullet an extremely fast speed, and the rotating rifle made the messenger's bullet come out of the rifle and rotated it and hit the target directly with a straight ray.

With a "puff", the projectile entered his body and thought, the officer riding on the horse rose a cloud of blood and screamed and fell off his horse.

The gunshots were signals, and the security guards lying on both sides immediately pulled the trigger.

They were soon surprised to find that their shooting was extremely accurate, and the enemies fell to the ground one by one under their own guns.

In the first round of shooting, the Spaniards fell a little, and the remaining Spain was panicked and hid behind the vehicles and lie on the ground to fight back. However, their muskets could not hit the Shang army a hundred steps away.

The Spanish muskets were completely unpredictable, but the Shang soldiers held the muskets and aimed at the Spanish army to shoot.

With a "bang", a Spanish officer appeared from behind the vehicle and wanted to observe, but his face was smashed by a projectile and he died tragically on the spot.

This made the Spaniards frightened...
