Chapter 50 The Pride of the British Army

Chapter 50: The Pride of the British Army

A day and night of attacks exhausted the British Expeditionary Fleet.

On the sea, the beach was covered with red corpses of British soldiers. The naval guns had clearly cleared away all the obstacles protruding from the ground in this sea area. However, no matter how hard they tried, they faced The Ming army hidden in the trenches was helpless.

The sea water and the beach seriously slowed down the charging speed of the soldiers. This made the soldiers wearing red uniforms stand in the shallow water like red targets.

Marine Commander Irving did not understand how those Ming soldiers wearing black military uniforms could shoot so fast, let alone why these soldiers could shoot from any posture.

He clearly saw from the telescope that the soldiers were not only able to stand and shoot, but more often than not, they were lying on the ground and shooting. They did not even use the standard reloading posture. Just shoot randomly.

The British soldiers standing in the seawater could not lie down in the seawater, because as long as they did so, the seawater would soak their guns and wet their gunpowder... Therefore, they could only Standing upright in the sea water to meet the opponent's intensive bullets.

The war broke out too suddenly, and Owen knew nothing about his enemy.

"Baron, I think we should also use explosive shells."

After once again seeing a shell explode in the crowd through the telescope, Owen came to the Dreadnought flagship On board, he made his request to Captain Nelson.

"Colonel Owen, stop letting your men die. Those brave soldiers were killed outside their range, and I don't have the ability to accurately send the shells into those few "Baron, Earl Raymond is still in their hands. We should save him. This is related to the glory of Britain."

Baron Nelson, look at it. Colonel Owen said coldly: "Earl Raymond has been taken away by Ming warships. Now, the Ming people on the island are guarding their trophies.

And I see from you There is no hope of victory.

As for Earl Raymond, our King is also a prisoner now. The Duke of Buckingham is also awaiting trial. The Lord Protector Cromwell you support. Mr. Er is now the new king in London.

Up to now, the glorious Royal Navy has completed its duties, and land is not our job. This should be yours. These army matters.

I think Mr. Cromwell will give you victory, just as he did at Nezby. You will always win, won't you? ”

Colonel Owen thought for a moment and said: "My last request, Baron, this is my last request. I hope the Navy can help us get as close to the beach as possible, and at least allow me to try again when the tide is high today. ”

Baron Nelson smiled silently and said: "Do you want us to use a heavy battleship to send you to the shore?"

Irving gritted his teeth and said: "If possible, I hope you do this."

"Then what? Even if you capture the island and the funds and supplies that Mr. Cromwell urgently needs, how are you going to transport these things back without the navy?

You should know that there are pirates everywhere in this sea area. The Ming people are pirates, the Spanish are pirates, the Dutch are pirates, and the Portuguese are also pirates. Even if you defeat these pirates, I have to ask again You, how are you going to pass through the territorial waters of the Ottoman Empire?"

Irving straightened his back and said: "I believe that a support fleet will arrive in India soon, Baron, if you can't send us there? On the shore, I believe that the Lord Protector will know that because of your cowardice, Great Britain has lost a large amount of money and materials that could have improved the domestic environment."

Nelson laughed and said: "If you do this, you will not be able to do it. As you wish, Colonel, the battleship's draft is too deep to meet your requirements. The Anne and the Fishman will take you to the shore when the tide rises."

Irving looked at Baron Nelson sincerely. Said: "Baron, thank you. We are soldiers, not politicians. What we are facing now is a powerful and ferocious enemy. I only hope to fight for the British Empire, not just for a certain person, whether it is the king or the Lord Protector."

Nelson let out a long sigh. He had already noticed the strong aura of death on Colonel Owen's body.

"The British cannot have too many ground troops on their battleships. In two days, we have killed at least a thousand British people. If we fight like this for three more days, I think we can defeat the British."

By then, we will be on the island, with food and drink, and no shortage of ammunition, and they will have nothing to do with us."

Moire is in a trench that is half a man high. Walking inside to boost morale.

"Brothers, as long as we work carefully and don't be greedy for credit, we will hide in the trenches and consume their troops. The final winner must be us. We just need to be patient a little longer..."

The Phoenix Mountain Military Academy may produce bastards and hooligans, but it will never produce trash!

Anyone who is not suitable for the army will be eliminated at Phoenix Mountain Military Academy.

The sea breeze blows from the sea, and the waves gently kiss the beach, and also kiss the corpses of the British soldiers who died in the battle, shaking the corpses like a mother's cradle...

Lao Zhou watched the tide getting higher and higher, holding up his gun and lying on the trench. Every time the tide came up, the British would launch a charge.Feng, it’s the same every day.

Lao Zhou raised his gun, and the soldiers around him also raised their guns, looking at the enemy who was about to climb up through Wangshan from the crosshair position.

"Is everything okay on both sides?"

Lao Zhou asked in a low voice when he saw Lao Chang coming over.

"No problem. The British did not choose to climb the cliff or climb over the mountain. I have already deployed wolf smoke on both sides. If the British climb up from that side, news will come."

"Go back, I'm not worried about those boys. Without you to help me watch the way back, I'm not worried about the fact that there's me in the front. Don't worry too."

Lao Chang nodded and held up the gun. Gone.

The waves carried the British corpses and pushed them to the shore. At the same time, there was a strong corpse smell blown up by the sea wind.

Old Zhou was very familiar with this smell. He had smelled it in Xuchang, Xuzhou, Jinan, and the capital. Looking back at the boys who were vomiting, Old Zhou shouted: " Breathe in hard and suck in all the corpse odor. Then Black and White will treat you as a dead person and maybe let you go."

On the sea, the Annie and the Murloc have already hung up. The sails were full, and under the strong sea breeze, all the sails were filled with wind. The heavy force pressed the bow of the ship into the sea, then it suddenly raised its head and rushed straight towards the shore.

"Fire the guns, fire the guns."

After Yunwen, who had been monitoring the movements of the British army, saw the strange behavior of the two ships, he immediately shouted to the messenger.

The messenger waved the flag, and Yunzhen, who was on the artillery position, immediately ordered the artillery fire.

At the same time, the sound of dense artillery roars was also heard on the sea, and various artillery shells rained down on the coast. Lao Zhou and others saw large pieces of artillery shells falling and quickly followed them. They stared at the planks on the edge of the trench, rolling their eyes to see where the shells would land.

It felt very uncomfortable to wait for death. Seeing the torrential rain of shells hitting all around me, the tall coconut trees on the shore were broken by the chain bombs and collapsed. There were more shells falling from the sky. With a sound, it smashed into the wet sand, and then a puff of green smoke came out.

Seeing with my own eyes that his unlucky comrades were smashed to pieces by shells that luckily fell into the trenches, a young soldier somehow stood up in the dense rain of bullets, shouted and jumped out of the trenches to fight towards the soldiers. Run after.

A fist-sized cannonball passed through his chest. At that moment, a big hole suddenly appeared in his chest. The body fell to the ground and was quickly ravaged by other cannonballs. .humanoid.

Lao Zhou yelled: "Don't move, don't move, the shells can't hit you, they can't hit you."

His voice was extremely weak amidst the roar of the artillery fire. Fortunately, there was only one idiot who turned around and ran away. The others all pressed their faces tightly against the trenches, minimizing their bodies as much as possible, hoping that these shells would not hit them.

Lao Zhou took the risk to raise his head, and he immediately discovered to his horror that two huge three-masted warships had alreadyEntering the shallow sea, the bottom of the boat plowed through the waves and rushed straight towards him.

At this moment he could even hear the creaking sound of the three-masted ship about to disintegrate.

The tall bow of the ship had washed up on the beach. Immediately, there was the sound of intensive musket firing from the ship, and more gunpowder bombs were thrown at them with sparks.

Lao Zhou decisively lay down on the trench with his gun in his hand, and fired quickly.

The gunpowder made a mess on the beach, with splashing sand everywhere. The black smoke almost obscured the view, and the two huge warships actually came sideways at the last moment and became two tall ships. The fort.

Condescendingly, the Yun clan soldiers were shot one after another. After Lao Zhou waved his flag and asked Yun Zhen for a round of artillery cover, he quickly evacuated the first line of defense with the remaining Yun clan soldiers.

When evacuating, you don’t have to take the body with you, but you must take the gun with you. This is a strict order.

Yun Wen clenched his left fist tightly, his palm was wet, and he did not dare to take his eyes away from the telescope for a moment, lest if he relaxed for a moment, he would see the Yun clan's troops being defeated like a mountain.

Fortunately for Yunfang, Lao Zhou still maintained the situation, lying on the second line of defense with a gun in his hand, waiting for the British behind the battleship to come out.

As it was out of the range of the flintlock guns, the gunfire on the British battleship disappeared, and only the black cannonballs continued to spit out the gun windows.

Suddenly, a melodious bagpipe sound sounded from behind the battleship. Soon, Yun Wen, Lao Zhou, Yun Fang and others saw a grand scene that they had never seen before in their lives...

Although Lao Zhou and others had started shooting and killed many people, the British did not feel anything. Whether it was the fall of their comrades or the explosion of exploding bombs beside them, they could not let them go. There is no expression change on the faces of these war machines.

People died along the way...

After reaching the fighting distance, they uniformly raised the musket and fired a volley, and then completed the complex heavy tasks with a calm attitude in the hail of bullets. Install the program and wait for the commander's next order...
