Although the Duke of Lorraine and Archbishop Philip sat still, their hearts were already in chaos.
God knows how the evil Zhu Da Devil came up with repeating pistols and flintlock guns that can be loaded quickly and shoot accurately at long range. No one thought that the sneak attack plan that they thought was a great success was on the verge of failure. God knows the powerful How come the Spanish Empire is no match for the mysterious and ancient Shang Fang Kingdom!
I really don’t know what Shang Fang is thinking? Although he was so powerful, why did he shrink to the northwest of the New World for more than two thousand years? The New World was conquered early, and Columbus took care of him when he came. This New World would not fall into the hands of the Duke of Lorraine and Archbishop Philip.
The two leaders were dumbfounded, and the officers below began to discuss in low voices, and then the voices became louder and louder.
"The casualties of the Sixth Brigade have reached 20%..."
"The 11th Brigade is similar. Many companies have lost their combat effectiveness..."
"The loss of the gunners of the 3-pounder gun was too great..."
"There is no way for the infantry to break through the fire net they fired with pistols and flintlocks!"
"At this rate, we won't be able to capture the Inca camp at the river bend. Tomorrow's attack will still fail. We'd better retreat!"
"If we don't retreat, we'll change it to a siege..."
"But we don't have much food rations. We can only last for eight days at most, but these Inca people know how to farm and herd..."
"We can let the rear find a way to transport them. If we can break into their river bend camp and seize their flintlocks and pistols, we may be able to imitate the same weapons!"
"What if the Incas also have reinforcements? We still don't know much about the situation in Texas. There may be more than one Inca camp like River Bend Camp!"
Hearing the German officers mention the Inca reinforcements, the Duke of Lorraine had a very bad premonition in his heart - the Spanish army, possessed by the gods with the Holy Spear, might really lose to the merchants supported by the devil. People.
Of course, this failure was not because the Holy Spear was ineffective, but because the commander-in-chief used his troops too rashly... He still knew too little about the situation in Shang Fang Kingdom! What is their population? How many troops? What is the situation with military industry and handicraft industry? There is almost no definite answer. All his knowledge of the enemy is based on guesses and assumptions.
He doesn't even know how many Incas there are in Texas? When did you enter? How many campsites like River Bend Campground are there?
Maybe the River Bend camp is just one of their border fortresses, and there may be many Inca cities in the hinterland of Texas and New Mexico near the Rocky Mountains... Maybe their reinforcements are already on their way.
Thinking of this, the Duke of Lorraine turned to Cardinal Philip, who was still holding the big golden spear in a daze, and nodded gently: "Your Highness, do you think we should temporarily withdraw to Maria Elizabeth Island?"
Archbishop Philip has been in a state of confusion for a long time. Since this morning, he has been praying very hard to Jesus, asking Jesus to send down his divine power to help his believers defeat the devil's believers... But Jesus just ignored them. he! Could it be that my usage is wrong? This holy spear must be paired with a specific spell to exert its power? But I don’t even know what this spell is? And the mantras I recite have never been effective!
In fact, he is a liar. He, the chief exorcist of the Holy See, does not know how to exorcise demons at all!
This is how to do ah?
But Cardinal Philip could not tell the truth to the Duke of Lorraine. Can he tell the Duke of Lorraine that he actually doesn't know how to use the Holy Spear? In fact, not only does he not know how to use the Holy Spear correctly, he doesn't know how to exorcise demons at all...He, the chief exorcist of the Holy See, is actually a liar who deceives the world because he can't feel any magic or magic at all. Mana!
He won't do it at all!
When he entered St. Paul's Monastery to learn the art of exorcism from the previous chief exorcist of the Holy See, he lied by pressing the Bible... He told the previous chief exorcist that he could feel the magic power. exist! But in fact he felt nothing, he just wanted to climb up! He did not have a strong birth. If he could not become an exorcist of the Holy See, he would have been a low-level priest all his life. And if he becomes a disciple of the chief exorcist, he can climb a ladder to heaven, follow the chief exorcist in and out of the Vatican temple, and become a guest of the kings and dignitaries of European Catholic countries!
So Philip was tempted by the devil in his heart, lied according to the Bible, and became a disciple of the chief exorcist. And after becoming the disciple of the chief exorcist, he had to lie all the time... because no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't feel any magic fluctuations!
No talent!
However, he learned theoretical knowledge very well and always got good marks in written examinations. Moreover, he is very good at observing people's opinions and flattering others. He can always coax those powerful people, especially female powerful people, to look at him differently. So he was successfully promoted in the exorcism system of the Holy See. Although he brought back books from China such as "Yuanjun" and "Yuanchen" that were not good for the monarchy, he also gained the favor of Leopold. , became a cardinal...and then a chancellor of the Inquisition and chief exorcist of the Holy See!
But he still can't feel the existence of supernatural magic... so he can only live by lying to others.
It's actually no big deal to deceive those dignitaries. Those dirty souls will go to hell whether they are tempted by the devil or not. But this time he delayed the important events of the Spanish Empire and the House of God... He originally thought that as long as the Holy Spear was in the Duke of Lorraine's army, the Duke would be able to defeat the Incas. In the records related to the Holy Spear, as long as you have the Holy Spear, you can achieve a miraculous victory, and there is no need to chant the mantra to activate the magic power contained in the Holy Spear.
But now he knows that he was wrong!
The enemy of the European monarchs who had the Holy Spear before was not the devil, it was a war between mortals... So the party with the Holy Spear could win as long as it received a little divine blessing.
But now, there is really a devil behind the enemy!
A useless holy spear is obviously not enough... So now he is almost a Catholic sinner and going to hell!
Thinking of this, Cardinal Philip felt ashamed, sad and scared, and actually cried out.
His crying frightened the Duke of Lorraine and a group of German officers around him - why was this bastard crying? Did God give him some revelation? About to be defeated? Or is it the end of the world?
Thinking of this, they didn't know what to say. They could only watch Cardinal Philip crying there. I don’t know how long I cried. When the sky was getting a little brighter, the group of people who were already drowsy and almost fell asleep suddenly heard a crisp gunshot!
Then there was a second sound, a third sound... until it was all loud!
What frightened everyone was that the gunfire did not come from the Hebend Camp, but from the woods to the west of the Spanish Royal Army Camp!
Of course, the Duke of Lorraine would not forget to place a cordon on his side... Although this area is known as grassland, the forest is quite dense, but there are some quite fertile grasslands between the forest and on both sides of the river. So the Duke of Lorraine sent some skirmishers into the woods to serve as a guard.
They must have encountered the Shang army who came to support them, so they got into a fight in the woods!
Thinking of this, the Duke of Lorraine, who had been drowsy just now, suddenly woke up, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "The enemy is attacking! Sound the rally call and prepare to fight!"
Before he finished speaking, many people suddenly shouted at the Inca camp in Hewan: "The man in white horse and red robe holding a golden spear is the Great Khan of Spain..."
...
In the forest, a gun battle just ended!
This was nothing more than a small-scale battle between the vanguard and the enemy's security forces. Since the vanguard cavalry of the Yin family's Khan tribe are all equipped with revolvers, breastplates, scimitars, and grenades, and they are the most courageous Yin family warriors, they have conducted countless night attacks and sneak attacks in the past few years. He did a lot of work, so he knocked down all his opponents without much effort.
Hearing that the gunshots no longer sounded, Ce Ling Dun Dobu, who was leading eight thousand Yin family warriors marching on a forest road, also breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to issue an order for the entire army to attack and advance, he vaguely heard someone using a gun. shouted in Mongolian.
Celing Dunduobu quickly asked his left and right: "What are you shouting? Did you hear it?"
"It seems...the man with the white horse, red robe, and golden spear is the Spanish Khan?"
There are really people with sharp ears around Celing Dunduobu.
"The Great Khan of Spain?" Ceringdon Dob was stunned, "Leopold I came to Texas?"
Someone immediately said to the left and right: "Master Hou, this is a great achievement! It is comparable to the time when the Grand Master was captured alive in Tumubao..."
"Ahem!" Cering Dunduobu coughed quickly when he heard this and glared at the man, "What are you talking about? We have arrived in the New World, why do we still remember Tumu Fort?" He paused, "Give me the order, Just say that the one with the white horse, red robe, and golden spear is the Spanish Khan... Anyone who catches the Spanish Khan will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and hundreds of households sealed!"
"yes!"
As the soldiers surrounding Sering Dunduobu shouted loudly, "The man with the white horse, red robe, and golden spear is the Spanish Khan" and "Catch the Spanish Khan, reward tens of thousands of gold, and seal hundreds of households". Soon it sounded in the woods.
The morale of this Yin family cavalry, which was already a little tired after lurking in the woods for a day and marching all night, suddenly reached its peak!
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to get better, Celing Dunduobu took out his revolver and fired a shot into the sky, and then shouted loudly: "Yin family warriors, charge with me... The Holy Saint Bless us!”
"The Holy Blessing! Charge!"
Amidst the shouts, all the Yin family cavalry drew their revolvers and then, in groups of a hundred households (leaders), under the dim light of the early morning, they rode through the dense forest towards the Spanish Royal Army. The camp pounced.
At the same moment, Ce Lingtai Ji had also got on his horse and rushed out of the camp with more than two thousand Baiyin warriors under his command. They rushed towards the Spanish Royal Army's camp hundreds of steps away. Also shouting: "The man with the white horse, red robe, and golden spear is the Great Khan of Spain!"
And Cardinal Philip, who owned a white horse, wore a cardinal's red robe, and carried a gold-covered spear, did not know at this time that he had become the target of the devil - he could not understand Mongolian, And he was not the Spanish Khan, he was just a pious cardinal who felt guilty and wanted to make up for his mistakes.
So when he found that his camp was attacked by the enemy and the exhausted Spanish soldiers were falling into chaos, he bravely mounted a big white horse, raised a big golden spear, and took his own guards with him. Running around the camp of the Spanish Royal Army, shouting loudly as he ran: "Spanish warriors, the door to heaven has been opened, God bless every warrior who fights for Him!"
His encouragement really had a certain effect. Wherever he rode his horse, the tired, hesitant, and fearful Indo-European warriors who wanted to escape regained their spirits and mustered up their courage. , began to line up with guns under the command of the officers.
But no matter how he shouted, his target was exposed!
Celingdunduobu's troops who had just rushed out of the woods, and Celingtaiji's troops who had rushed out of the camp, all saw the big shining golden spear - that must be the Spanish Great Khan!
As long as we catch him, the Yin family's Khan tribe will be victorious!
So there was no need for anyone to give orders. All the Yin cavalry on the battlefield rushed toward Bishop Philip. Where they encountered the Spanish Royal Army, they were not willing to fight, so they just used revolvers and grenades to clear the way.
Dozens of cavalrymen from the Hundred Household Team swarmed forward and charged unstoppably towards the unprepared red archbishop. This Archbishop Philip has no experience in killing enemies in battle in the past, but this is his first time on the battlefield!
In the end, I didn't pay any attention, so I just used the big golden spear to boost morale. After a while, I realized something was wrong - why could my ears be filled with the sound of horse hooves and the shouts of devil believers? He quickly looked up and realized something was wrong... The devil believers seemed to be coming to snatch his holy spear!
But how should the divine power of this holy spear be used?
Nope! What mantra should be recited? There is no instruction manual either...
Archbishop Philip was extremely anxious, but he couldn't use his magic power, so he had to carry the holy spear and gallop on horseback, trying to break out of the encirclement of the devil believers. While rushing back, he muttered: "Jesus, Jesus, show up quickly! No!" If it doesn't show up, the Holy Spear will be snatched away by the devil! You should tell me how to use this spear. If you don't tell me, the spear will be gone..."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
As soon as he said this, he heard a burst of gunfire, and the horse under his crotch suddenly sank and fell down. Then the horse raised its butt and threw him out...
