Become a feudal king from today - #929 - Chapter 941: Fighting

“Captain Gao, lead the troops in a detour from the north. Captain Li, lead the troops in a detour from the south.” On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides were exchanging fire fiercely. Pan Chang judged the battlefield situation and called two of his men. Captain.

They were ordered to lead five thousand soldiers each to outflank the Folangji.

After receiving his order, the two captains immediately ordered the generals and soldiers to outflank the two flanks of the frontal battlefield.

In order to respond to the Marines’ attack, the Folangji soldiers pressed all the Folangji soldiers on the frontal battlefield, and ordered the indigenous troops to defend on both wings.

In comparison, the two wings are naturally the weakest point.

“Bang bang bang…”

Not long after, in addition to the gunfire from the frontal battlefield, intensive gunfire also came from the battlefields on both sides.

Since the native troops were only equipped with a small number of flintlock muskets, most of them also carried swords.

The battlefield on both wings was basically covered by the gunfire of Qin-style rifles.

In order to break through the defense line of the indigenous army, the Marines, under the cover of their companions, flexibly shuttled between buildings and advanced.

The soldiers occupying the roof took advantage of their view and repeatedly shot exposed indigenous soldiers.

The indigenous soldiers hiding in the buildings were often greeted by grenades thrown in by the Marines.

For a time, the entire battlefield on both wings was filled with smoke.

The French soldiers had not seen the tactics of the Marines, so how could the indigenous troops in Luzon have seen them?

Most of them work for the Folangji people just to make a living, and they are not loyal to the Folangji people.

Contact with the Marines resulted in heavy casualties, and the native soldiers were immediately frightened.

Facing the advance of the Marines, their front was continuously compressed.

“asshole!”

The offensive on both wings of Dasong’s army naturally did not escape Valenza’s eyes.

But he could only watch as the indigenous army shrank in defeat.

Ferrero gave him too few Franco soldiers.

Even with the same number, they may not be the opponents of Dasong’s army.

How can a mere 8,000 people deal with a Dasong army of more than 20,000 people?

Although the indigenous troops are numerous in number, their role is obviously not more than building momentum.

When fighting with a favorable wind, they can take care of some remnant enemies, but when facing a headwind, they are like stray dogs with their tails tucked between their legs.

He was thinking about how to turn the tide of the battle when suddenly gunfire erupted directly in front of him, accompanied by continuous explosions.

On a roof less than fifty meters away from him, a French soldier stood up to reload, but suddenly he covered his chest, fell down, and rolled to the ground.

In the alley in front of the death soldiers, French soldiers kept rushing out of the alley, trying to retreat.

But before reaching the place, they were shot dead in the street.

“Colonel, I can’t stand it anymore. The firepower of Dasong’s army is too fierce. Their soldiers are as flexible as monkeys. They can shoot in any position and can even reload while running. This is crazy.” A Buddhist monk Under the cover of the soldiers, the aircraft officer hurriedly retreated to Balenza, his eyes frightened.

He acknowledged that muzzle-loading rifled guns were more powerful and their accuracy had been greatly improved.

Because of this, they were able to hold off Dasong’s army on the frontal battlefield until now, instead of being defeated at the first touch like the indigenous army.

However, the muskets that made them so satisfied were once again dwarfed by Dasong’s army.

During the shooting, many of his soldiers had to expose their bodies in order to reload, which resulted in many casualties.

Of course, there is another fatal point: their reloading speed is too slow.

Not only did this make their firepower seem insufficient, sometimes Dasong soldiers even used the time they had to reload to move forward.

“We must resist even if we can’t. Behind us is Governor Ferrero. For the honor of Franco and the honor of the Westerners, even if there is only one person left, we must fight to the end.” Valenza shouted to the officer, ” Glenn, lead your soldiers to hold the front for me now.”

“Yes, Colonel.” Glenn opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Senior officers like Ferrero and Valenza had been comfortable in Luzon for too long.

So much so that I haven’t been to the battlefield in person for a long time.

He gave an order casually, but he had no idea how cruel the battle the soldiers on the front line would face.

He was not cowardly in risking his return, but had a premonition that his soldiers would not be able to hold on any longer.

The so-called honor cannot convince the soldiers in the face of a desperate war.

However, he must obey orders.

When Glenn returned to the forward position despite the hail of bullets, he saw the corpses of Franco soldiers all over the ground, and many wounded soldiers howling miserably.

The soldiers who could still fight were struggling to maintain the front line.

In order to prevent Dasong soldiers from advancing forward, special soldiers were responsible for investigating the situation on the streets.

Once the Dasong soldiers rushed forward, the soldiers hiding in the alley rushed out of the alley and fired.

“Captain, what did the colonel say?” When Glenn came back, a second lieutenant officer immediately asked.

“Colonel, let us hold on.” Glenn said with difficulty.

The officer’s eyes dimmed immediately. He and his soldiers had reached their limit.

They have never experienced such a cruel war.

In just one hour, more than two thousand soldiers were killed.

No matter how they defended themselves, the Dasong soldiers were always able to break through their lines.

Even suffering casualties did not weaken their will to attack.

In his opinion, the training and discipline of these Dasong soldiers surpassed even those of the British soldiers.

What’s more, they are still using better muskets than they are, and a grenade similar to that thrown by grenadiers.

But the grenadiers in the past threw grenades similar to explosive bombs, which were obviously not as lightweight as the grenades used by the opponent.

“Boom, boom, boom…” The two were talking, when suddenly several flames shot up from the alley thirty meters away from them.

More than a dozen Franco soldiers fell down amid screams.

Glenn and the officers suddenly changed their expressions. This was a signal that Dasong’s army was about to advance again.

Other Falangji soldiers also realized this.

The soldiers in the alley rushed towards the alley to replace the dead and wounded soldiers.

Armed with muskets, they rushed out of the alley.

Sure enough, on the front street, fifty or sixty Dasong soldiers were rushing towards their position.

Seeing the Franco soldiers aiming at them, these soldiers rolled forward on the spot, or rolled in other directions, or they just lay down on the ground, raised their muskets and shot at them.

The flexible movements of the Dasong soldiers caused most of the bullets of the Folangji soldiers to miss.

Some Dasong soldiers were also hit and fell to the ground.

However, at this stall, they paid even greater casualties.

After one wave of shooting, Dasong soldiers changed their bullets very quickly and immediately launched a second wave of shooting.

Other Folangji soldiers who rushed from the alley to the alley entrance were shot dead by Dasong soldiers before they could shoot.

As Dasong soldiers approached the alley, some soldiers threw grenades deeper into the alley.

After an explosion, the alley was filled with corpses of Franco soldiers.
