173 Greetings for the Spaniards
"For the king, kill!"
The leading grassroots noble officer waved his command knife and took the brunt of the attack, and rushed forward with his soldiers.
Under the leadership of these officers, the Spanish soldiers behind them would not dare to disobey the orders no matter how afraid they were, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law when they turned back!
In the Spanish Army, if officers and storm soldiers watch the show, it is a very serious crime, with almost no possibility of commutation and pardon.
Not to mention the upper class of the Spanish Kingdom, even ordinary people, in this era, it is impossible to understand the behavior of civilian soldiers who dare to abandon noble officers. Generally speaking, both sides change positions only if they change positions!
After seeing the enemy's surprise, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion immediately retreated into the buildings on both sides of the street and the fortifications of the barricades behind them, preparing to give the Spanish soldiers a big gift.
Old-style curved guns such as mortars with too close range also stopped firing and moved backwards.
For a moment, the sound of cannons on the battlefield stopped, which made the Spanish soldiers who were charging look overjoyed.
The reason why they were willing to participate in this war was just to make a living, because in the corrupt Spanish army at this time, only soldiers who went to war could get free food!
Yes, the Spanish Army soldiers have to pay for their daily living expenses!
This system was originally intended to give soldiers more freedom and save some trouble for the Spanish government, without having to establish an overly large logistics agency to be responsible for the food issues of a large number of soldiers during peacetime.
The Spanish government just pays money, and buys what the soldiers want to eat, which seems to be able to indirectly promote the prosperity of the market economy.
In theory, everything seems so beautiful, but after any good policy is implemented, it will immediately become the root cause of public resentment!
The life of a country is never based on the various legal measures promulgated by the country, but on the implementation of various policies.
If there are policies and countermeasures at the top, how could a government team in such a country not embezzle state property and oppress and exploit the people?
This is why many countries have established a bureaucratic system similar to "self-inspection" throughout history.
But many times, inspection agencies will become more serious corruption departments, providing protection for corrupt officials to accept more bribes.
Because of this, it is really difficult for a country to completely eradicate the problem of corruption, unless all government management agencies are manipulated by absolutely fair and fair artificial intelligence systems, like in science fiction films.
It is also necessary to ensure that the ruling class will not leave backdoors in the artificial intelligence system and tamper with the procedures without authorization to seek benefits for themselves and their relatives and friends.
For example, in the territory controlled by the Li Wei regime, although many laws and regulations seem very "backward", it is no exaggeration to be called a reversal in the eyes of the public intellectuals of the 21st century, but the cities and villages under the Li Wei regime are in order, everyone has work to do, and there is a busy scene everywhere.
There is no crowd like gangsters on the street (all of them were caught in labor camps for renovation)!
This is the result of adequate execution!
Because of the terrible administrative enlightenment capabilities of the comprehensive war system, most senior officials have done their best to do practical things and actively searched for people who are in the limelight. Most of the policies of the Li Wei regime have been implemented at the grassroots level. How could the entire society not be busy?
However, most of the policy labor force of the Li Wei regime comes from labor laborers, so the value of the private wealth reserve is very low, and the market economy is never prosperous.
Of course, it is the war period, and Li Wei can only do this in order to save as much financial expense as possible.
You should know that the vast majority of the labor force responsible for the logistics of Li Wei's army are workers in labor camps without any salary, eating the cheapest food, suppressing labor costs to the lowest limit.
This ensures that Li Wei can continue to launch wars in a strong manner, and even purchase a large amount of arms and industrial raw materials to expand the army and enhance industrial productivity.
The Spanish soldiers rushing into the main road of the city with their bayonets, feeling that the whole battle became easier, and the Li Wei rebels on the opposite side seemed to be retreating?
Just as they were rushing forward with excitement, no one noticed that there were large pieces of rags on both sides of the streets they passed by, and the sound of a fuse burning sound came!
The sounds on the battlefield were so noisy that most Spanish soldiers did not hear this sound at all. Even if the remaining Spanish soldiers heard it, they would not think about that for a while, because they were following their officers to rush forward, looking for the enemy to kill!
Then, it's...
Boom boom boom boom...
The debris covered on both sides of the street are all large-equivalent special powder kegs. The reason why they are specially made is that in addition to black gunpowder, there are also various small objects with terrible lethality at high speed flying.
A series of explosions completely covered the Spanish Army soldiers rushing in, and the thick smoke covered the Spanish soldiers' vision, and the smell of choking smoke was everywhere.
In fact, due to the power of black gunpowder, except for the Spanish soldiers near both sides of the street, few Spanish officers and soldiers stayed in the middle of the road were injured or even killed, but their spiritual will was hit by a horrific blow, and the thick smoke further increased the chaos.
The large number of Spanish soldiers who were still rushing forward before were completely panicked.
At this moment, a large number of bullets suddenly shot out from the buildings and barricades on both sides.
Due to a large amount of gunpowder, these bullets have no accurate heads, but the guard infantry does not need any accurate heads. Anyway, Spanish officers and soldiers are almost crowded and rushed in. They may even hit the human body with just one shot.
These bullets made the panicked Spanish officers and soldiers continue to scream and fall down, which is equivalent to the last straw that crushed the camel. The Spanish soldiers finally couldn't hold on, or were unwilling to stay here and kill him!
The Spanish soldiers fleeing back in a mess, and the guard infantry who saw the Spanish soldiers' offensive collapsed, shot a large number of flowering bullets at the crowd, killing the enemy as much as possible!
In order to shoot accurately, many mortars placed within the effective range of Spanish soldiers' muskets to fire!
