Sanchez couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

Why, why are these Ming troops so well equipped, and why are the muskets they use so long that they can line up to shoot at a hundred steps away?

This is completely inconsistent with the message conveyed by the missionaries.

Sanchez was still shocked, and the Ming army launched a new round of attack.

Under the cover of the two-wing musketeers, the central army's long spear formation advanced forward and met with the Spanish front army.

Although the Spaniards had tens of thousands of people, they were unable to exert their number advantage because of their narrow space. They could only invest a small part of their troops when fighting with the Ming army. This allowed the Ming army to form a situation where they fought with less and more.

Soon Sanchez discovered that the armored army of the Ming army was even more terrifying than the musketeer.

The thousand-man army was covered in iron armor, holding long spears in hand and moving forward in unison amid the call.

The Spanish soldiers who stepped forward to block the enemy were all penetrated by a spear and felt cold.

Originally, Sanchez thought the armor of the soldiers under his command was already very well-established, but now it seems that he cannot resist the Ming army's spear's piercing.

"It's Alexander's Formation!"

Sanchez tried hard to recall the formation from his mind, and finally realized it. Isn’t this the Alexander Spear Formation?

But how could anyone in the Ming army understand Alexander's formation? Is it just a coincidence?

Sanchez roared: "Rise the shield, raise the shield. The Javeliner fights back!"

The best way to deal with Alexander's spear formation is to form a shield formation to block the opponent's advancement, and then use a javelin to fight back.

It is not easy for Sanchez to come up with these in a short period of time.

Spanish soldiers followed the orders.

The orders of the Governor were now regarded as life-saving straw by the soldiers, who raised their shields at the fastest speed and formed a shield wall.

This has some effect. Although some shields are stabbed by spears, it has somewhat delayed the speed of the Ming army's spearmen's advancement.

At the same time, javeliners hiding behind the shield wall also threw javelins into the Ming army formation.

Casualties began to occur in the Ming army formation. Although iron armor can ensure that soldiers are not damaged by arrows and swords, it is impossible to ensure that the javelin will not be pierced. However, the formation of the Ming army is very guaranteed. Every time a soldier falls, another soldier will make up for it in time.

Now they are only one step away from opening the gap in the Spanish striker's formation, and they must not be discouraged at this time.

"Architecture team, prepare for jump attack!"

Seeing that the Spanish army was densely formed, Qi Wen decided to use a jump attack.

Compared with direct shelling, jump attacks can kill and injure the enemy to a greater extent.

He had only used it once before in the bandit suppression, and the effect was still very good.

The artillery team immediately followed the execution, loaded ammunition, and ignited the lead.

In an instant, dozens of shells were fired into the Spanish army. The shells did not explode immediately, but instead bombed one on the ground and then exploded.

The exploded fragments burst into pieces and the Spanish soldiers fell to the ground.

There are broken limbs and broken arms and internal organs everywhere.

The wailing sounds and the terrified screams gathered together, reminding people of the slaughterhouse.

Qi Wen couldn't help but be overjoyed. The formation of the Spanish army was completely chaotic after this bombardment, and it was the time to take them down in one go.

"Transfer my order and the whole army will assault!"

The Ming army commander blew the flag and the formation immediately changed. The musketeers on both wings retreated to the back, and two troops holding long swords filled their vacancy.

Both armies were around a thousand people, and the long swords they held were even taller than their own height.

This is the Modao made by Ning Xiu, who gave all his strength to the craftsmen.

Modao was originally a type of Tang sword. It was a standard weapon of the Anxi Tang army during the heyday of the Anxi Protectorate.

Whether it is against the Turks or the Nine Hus in the Western Regions, Modao is invincible. Those Hu troops often fall into defeat as soon as they confront Modao.

It is said that the Modao is powerful and can be cut off by people and horses in the waist.

It is precisely because Modao is so powerful that it has become a killer weapon for infantry to restrain cavalry.

Later, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed and the Modao was lost for a while. The Japanese Japanese sword was an imitation Modao, but it was much smaller in size and power.

Ning Xiu ordered the Ming Dynasty craftsmen to restore Mo Dao based on the Mo Dao pictures in later generations, and finally made Mo Dao two months ago.

After some experiments, Ning Xiu was convinced that the power of the Modao was enough to change the situation of the battle, so he ordered the craftsmen to make it with all their might, and finally made two thousand Modaoes.

This thing is really too expensive. Even though Ning Xiu is rich now, with his financial resources, he can only make two thousand first. It is impossible to equip the entire army.

The Spanish obviously did not understand the power of this weapon, and they still stood there stupidly to defend.

"Enter!"

Accompanied by the sound of drums, Mo Daoshi began to advance forward, forming a semicircular formation with the spearmen of the central army.

"Enter!"

Mo Daozhe's travel speed increased and he soon came to the same line as the spearman.

"kill!"

They waved the sword in their hands, drew a big arc and then killed them.

Those Spanish soldiers who hadn't understood what was going on were instantly cut in half and flesh and blood flew across the board.

"Run, run!"

Someone shouted first, and the Spanish soldiers began to flee with abandoned armor.

Once a defeat occurs, it is impossible to recover, and it will be useless even if Sanchez ordered the judges to kill dozens of people.

The Spanish soldiers fled desperately, scattering the already messy formation even more.

Of course, the Ming army's Mo Daoshi would not miss such an excellent opportunity. Every time they waved a knife, they killed a person, and the escaped Spanish soldiers fell in pools of blood.

"No, no!"

Sanchez watched a Ming army's hand walk to him. The high-ranking Mo sword was swinging. Sanchez felt a chill in his neck, and then there was endless darkness.

Three months later, Manila.

Ning Xiu sat upright in the Manila Governor's Manila's Governor's Manila, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"After checking, there were 30 million taels of silver in Manila's warehouses, 1 million taels of gold, and countless pearls, corals, and spices."

Ning Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

"Thirty million taels of silver are really a lot."

You should know that the annual income of the Ming Dynasty is only two to three million taels, and 30 million taels of silver is equivalent to the tax amount of the Ming Dynasty in the tenth year.

"Sir, there must be silver mines in Luzon. My subordinates ask the Lord to order people to take over these silver mines."

Ning Xiu shook his head: "As far as I know, Luzon does not produce silver, most of this silver comes from America."

"America?"

Qi Wen was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Dare you ask, sir, where is America?"

Ning Xiu thought for a moment and said, "On the other side of the world, it is very far away from us. There are countless silver mines there, and the amount of silver deposited is hundreds and thousands of times that of Manila's silver stock." Ning Xiu paused for a moment and said, "But America is too far away from us. If you want silver, there is a closer place."

"Where is it?" Qi Wen asked expectantly.
