On the chaotic battlefield, the Oriental Horses wearing red cotton armor showed their fangs in London for the first time.

They formed a wall formation and crushed everything in front of them while treading.

Whether it is the feather arrows shot from the longbow or the spears like standing up, they cannot cause any harm to them.

Baron Charles' troops always thought they had a clear enough understanding of this elite unit from the Ming Dynasty, their weapons, their combat abilities and the terrifying aspects.

But in fact, they still know very little.

This is a strange cavalry, neither the feudal Western European knights they are familiar with, nor very similar to the new Spanish cavalry they have heard of.

The cavalry drums would form a neat array of walls as if they were blocked by the sound of the cavalry drums, which scared the infantry spearmen so much that they quickly pressed their heads in front of the longbowmen in the military music. The next moment they were greeted by the cavalry taking out flintlock guns and shooting at them, and then slowly retreated.

The infantry front had just changed a little, so they would walk in a neat way, charge in small steps, stab the infantry who turned around to death with extremely long cavalry spears, and then leave with ease.

Once the infantry tried to step forward, a row of Ming cavalry covered in European plate armor would rush through the gap, like shells hitting everyone, wielding the axes belonging to the Irish people and swaying bloody storms in the formation.

It's strange that the barefoot Irish people in the past carried the same axe and were chased by the less elite British troops in Ireland, without a single enemy.

But now, the red-haired barbarians in the eyes of the British army put on a set of plate armor costing at least three pounds, picked up the ancestral broken axe to form a battle formation, smashed the army formation and shouted "Advance! Back!" and rushed back and forth, but in the reverse eye, it opened the British army's dense army into a big hole.

Usually, when the army is declining and behind for an entire era, war cannot be dominated by weapons, and talents who use weapons are more important.

But in Europe in this era, except for a few countries, it really has to be the only way to do weapons.

Because everyone basically does not have training, and their limited tactics are not as powerful as possible to equip the equipment advantage, the three thousand shirtless Irish tribe warriors can't beat a hundred English dismounted knights.

On the other hand, although it is almost possible, it is easy to attack and defensive. Hundreds of English infantry gathered together can not defeat 200 Irish heavy infantry.

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing all directions.

England's longbowers were once the decisive force that dominated the battlefield. Cheap often means quantity, and quantity means strength.

They have spontaneous simple training, and every adult man needs to practice archery, and when these people are called up, only one word is needed - discipline.

There is no need to prepare armor for them, no need to create weapons for them, just a knife.

Then they would cut a long wooden strip of purple shirt into a long bow, and if they didn't have a long wooden strip, they would just find another long wooden strip.

During the battle period, you will stand in a row and don’t care about anything. The shooting angle, shooting strength, and distance calculation are all things that the young noble captain needs to worry about, and the long bower is enough to be obedient.

The captain asked him to pull the bow and pull the bow. If he asked him to pull half the bow, he would pull half the bow. Just watch the people next to him. The captain raised the higher his hand and raised the higher his hand. Then a little nobleman looked at the side of the team. As long as the entire team was uniform, the range, strength, and accuracy were not a problem.

And usually a good archer is a good player in melee combat as long as he has a hand-to-hand weapon.

After all, no matter whether it is the East, the West, Africa or the New World, as long as you are a man who can drive a full bow, it is not a problem to swing your arms and hammer three deer.

But the longbowers who were urgently recruited in London did not have the right melee weapons.

While the brave spearmen were still making their last desperate resistance, these longbowmen suffered only one impact and then collapsed towards the Tower of London.

It led a large number of infantry to give up the besieged position and began to flee to the west.

Compared with the Ailan soldiers who actually fought on the field, Ying Ming's Dongyang Banner Army was very relaxed. He seized the opportunity and rushed back and forth. He didn't have the chance and would not take risks. He just fired back and forth with cavalry guns. The more powerful ones were to cause fire and thunder and thrown into the formation without a few steps.

What they threw at this time was not the original palm thunder of the Eastern Military Palace. Those refined iron-shelled grenades were used almost the same as before when Puli besieged the city. Later grenades were all produced in Puli around the first month of the 12th year of Wanli.

People use firecrackers to dip twenty or thirty iron beads in the middle of the cannon with thick paper shells. The explosion is not stable. Sometimes the iron beads can be blown out without leaving one, and sometimes only a few can be blown out, but the cost is cheap and it is mass-produced by Puli.

There were so many people who were thrown out by the Dongyang Flag Army outside the Tower of London that they could find opportunities outside.

The seriousness is extremely limited, but it is very scary.

The flying projectiles, a large amount of gunpowder and a loud bang, constitute the root cause of the complete defeat of the defenders.

The defenders had no idea what was going on. They followed others, and many people rushed to the south gate of the Tower of London and the small bridge on the lawn. More people lost their lives to the west after finding the gate closed.

Earl Charles on the high wall was furious when he saw this, especially when he saw Wei Jinzhong's soldiers rushing out of the London Bridge at this time, he immediately ordered the cannons in the city to launch a bombardment at them, but it was difficult to hit the distance, so it made big holes in the walls of the houses and shops on the bridge.

However, several circumferential cannons placed on the city played a role. The shells hit the Ailan soldiers' marching route, killing several plate-armed soldiers, causing their high morale to be slightly weakened under the fierce rush.

However, this cannot prevent the defenders outside the Tower of London from disintegrating because they cannot turn the cannons and thrust the anxious front between the enemy and us.

In this situation, Baron Charles watched the Ming army rush to storm the defenders who had lost their will to fight, and gathered with the previously besieged troops, and then left.

Immediately after the defenders in the city opened the door and tried to let the defeated troops after the Ming army attacked into the city. In a blink of an eye, the Ming army came back from the west. This time, it was not a cavalry, and the brisk group of troops swept across like a mat.

Some troops tried to rush into the city under the city gate, while some troops rushed over the city walls and rushed towards the London Bridge.

The defenders could barely block the troops outside the city gates by fighting hard. Not long after, the troops came and went quickly. The horses took away a large number of bodies from the London Bridge and disappeared from the view of the Tower of London at a much faster speed than when they came.
