The French army who invaded Guotou Village never expected that this group of Chinese would launch a counter-charge, and at that moment all the French troops were stunned.

"I had hallucinations? Without artillery support, they dared to launch a counter-charge against the French army? What did they rely on? Did they mobilize a group of ordinary people in patched trousers? Hahaha......"

"Shooting...... Repel these barbarians..."With the officer's order, the three hundred French troops stopped their work, leaned against the low wall that had just been formed, and began to fire at the charging crowd.

The French army that Chu Zhao faced was not the Prussian soldiers that Xiao Lotian faced, under Molière's strict orders, the muskets carried by the expeditionary force were all the most advanced rear-loading needle-piercing rifles, coupled with the excellent individual soldiers of the French soldiers, this rifle shot accurately and ruthlessly.

Bang Bang Bang ...... In the dense gunfire, the charging army formation suddenly collapsed as if it had been hit by an invisible heavy hammer, and the battlefield was full of wails.

"Fire back...... Throw a grenade to blow them up...... What are you shaking like a shit, shoot to death and go back......"

"Acceleration acceleration, alternate cover...... Damn, if I take the people to fight again in my life, I'll just kill myself......"

It was already very difficult for Chu Zhao to control the strength of a company of more than 1,000 militias, and it seemed very reasonable to break up ordinary soldiers and fill them up as squad leaders and platoon leaders, but there was no running-in between the soldiers and the generals, and the fight was all kinds of awkwardness.

Cross-cover fire in the charge will not be used, the rhythm of the band attack will not be well mastered, and the accuracy of the shot will not be ...... Fighting with such a soldier, Chu Zhao and Luo Monkey had only one feeling in their hearts, and that was pain.

Fortunately, this is just a wave of feints, their purpose is only to cover the water ghosts lurking, and it doesn't matter if they can break through the enemy's defense line or not.

After three volleys of French troops, the crowd of charging people dropped hundreds of corpses, but the forward also approached fifty meters of the French army, and at this time it was up to the grenade warfare that the new army was best at. I heard the roar of 'throwing grenades' in the crowd, followed by hundreds of black iron bumps flying over.

The French commander was really experienced, and the "hidden ......" roared, and all the soldiers shrank behind the low wall, curling up their bodies as much as possible to reduce the surface of the bomb.

Boom Boom Boom ...... After a grenade explosion, the number of French casualties suddenly soared, and the commander of the rear fleet even saw the red lobster being blown up in mid-air.

"Damn, these barbarians really have two hits...... Artillery crews prepare, provide fire cover to our army brothers ... Damn bastards, go to hell......"

As soon as the two cruisers saw that they were being bullied, they began to shoot frantically without saying a word, reloading their ammunition, and in the blink of an eye, the charging position was filled with smoke.

Unbeknownst to anyone, it was this round of shelling that allowed the four water ghosts to successfully approach the battleship. Originally, according to the clear sea area of Kunigami Village, the closer the water ghost got to the battleship, the higher the chance of being discovered. But this round of salvo, the vibration of the cannon rippled countless fine lines on the sea, and Chu Zhao's counterattack also attracted the attention of the lookout.

The water ghost finally approached a hundred meters of the battleship, and this was also the place where the water shook the most, and no one knew that the Grim Reaper had lurked under the distortion of light and shadow.

At this time, the charge on the battlefield was no longer impulsive, and the remaining soldiers hid behind rocks, or simply crawled in the craters to shoot at the enemy, desperately buying time.

In the rumbling cannonball, in the salvo of crackling muskets, the soldiers who were desperately struggling against the enemy's artillery fire rolled on the position like mud monkeys, and the cannonballs in the sky exploded and the rifles on the ground were strafing, and the people who charged this time were extremely aggrieved.

"Hold on a little longer, brethren...... There's nothing terrible about dying, it's better to die in battle than to be killed and captured, our good days have just begun, and now whoever dares to make a move on us, we'll beat the damn ......"

Chu Zhao and Luo Monkey not only have to fight now, but they also have to observe the morale of the soldiers at any time, they know very well that the current militia is fighting with a breath of anger in their chests, although the explosive power is very strong for a while, but the reliability of this kind of fighting with anger is definitely not comparable to the battle of a hundred battles and the elite soldiers fighting by relying on iron-blooded military discipline.

Chu Zhao had already felt the abnormal change in the emotions of the soldiers around him, their firing frequency was chaotic, the aim of their grenade throwing was also shifted, and even the young young man around him even began to breathe rapidly.

The precursors of collapse have already occurred, and it is impossible for a keen commander not to perceive them.

"Hold on, brothers, hold on...... Guotou Village is gone, if we retreat, Beishan will fall, and Beishan will fall if Beishan falls, and the entire Ryukyus will not be able to hold it, and taking a step back is a family country..."

Just when Chu Zhao and Luo Monkey were anxious and helpless, a crisp female voice like a yellow bird suddenly came from the trench, and Cai Mao's youngest daughter Cai Bixuan suddenly shouted in the trench in Ryukyu native language.

"Don't be afraid, hold on a little longer, it's already fifteen minutes, and the uncle and brother who have dived will succeed...... The French did not find out ......"

Of course, the Ryukyu native French couldn't understand it, and it was Cai Bixuan's reminder that stabilized the morale on the battlefield that was about to collapse.

Thanks to Cai Bi's inspiration, countless people on the battlefield shouted the Ryukyu native language, and finally it was only merged into one word, "Five minutes...... Five minutes...... Hold on for five minutes..."

"Four minutes...... Four minutes ...... Hold on for four minutes..."

Hope is always the best motivating tool, and all the young people on the battlefield suddenly forgot their fears, and the shouts of killing suddenly intensified. The French on the other side didn't know what the Ryukyuan people were shouting, and the Chinese interpreter accompanying the army was even more dumbfounded and couldn't understand anything.

"This, this, this...... Is this a god that the Ryukyuan people believe in? It should be, barbarians, of course they believe in some strange gods, it must be..."

The battle was full of shouts of slaughter, and the attention of the French was all focused here, the marines were firing at the low wall, the guns on the battleships were firing incessantly, and even the decks were crowded with sailors. But no one noticed that in the depths of the rippling blue water, several water ghosts with thin bamboo pipes were approaching them.

These four people are indeed good at breath-holding in Guotou Village, they only used the bamboo pipe to change the gas four times in the past 20 minutes, and even if they were to change the air, they only used the bamboo pipe to lightly touch the water surface, and then quickly sank to the bottom of the sea more than three meters and quietly swam towards the battleship.

The two wooden boxes were stuffed with granulated high explosives, each of which weighed 25 kilograms, and if so many explosives could be successfully detonated, let alone a wooden battleship, it would be able to blow up even if it was covered with a layer of iron armor.

The underwater world is deep and wonderful, and all kinds of sea creatures seem to feel the murderous aura, and they scatter and flee in fear when they see the water ghosts approaching.

The two groups of water ghosts finally approached the bottom of the battleship, and when they looked up from this angle, they all became extremely dreamy, the sunlight was torn into patches of light by the fine ripples on the surface of the sea, and the long shadow of the battleship fell into the bottom of the water, and you could see the dividing line between light and shadow.

Suddenly, the sea flashed red, and the fish were suddenly frightened away, and the four knew that it was the guns on the battleship that fired again, and the folks on the shore did not know that a few more people were killed.

With anger in their eyes and a desire for revenge in their hearts, the four of them reached out and pointed to the bottom of the ship, and quickly divided their targets. Two of them swam straight for the Breaker, while the other two swam straight for the Quickwalker.

At this time, the time given to them was running out, on the one hand, the battle situation was urgent, and on the other hand, the breath in their chests was about to run out.

The two water spirits did not dare to slack off, one held up the wooden box and raised his hands to the bottom of the boat, while the other pinched the long iron nail and picked up the hammer and began to smash it upward.

This is the most primitive mine, and every step is inseparable from the manipulation of manpower.

The bilge of the battleship is usually a storage room, a freshwater tank and the like, and there are very few people here, but now it is very coincidental, since it is past noon, the cooks on the battleship have already begun to prepare food, and they are carrying sausages and bacon from the bilge up again and again.

"Wait...... Listen... What is that sound?" asked a clever sailor, pointing suddenly under a pile of wine crates.

"Isn't it a big mouse?haha, there's fresh meat added to the soup today...... "The two sailors pounced, but the expected rat didn't appear, and the dull thump never stopped.

A few sailors, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly burst out and screamed, "There is someone in the sea...... Someone under the boat ......, "These chefs have never run so fast in their lives, and their voices have never been so high."

This is the Quickwalker, the first battleship to discover the existence of water ghosts.

Soon the whole Quickwalker was in an uproar from the inside out, and when the people on deck heard the news that there were water ghosts at the bottom of the sea, the sailors on the side of the ship jumped down without saying a word.

The Wave Breaker didn't know what was wrong, they waved desperately at their comrades more than fifty meters away, but they couldn't hear anything clearly.

By this time the Swift Walker had already begun to fight underwater, and the two water ghosts now found themselves surrounded by only two nails, and the hull was surrounded by white waves of water after diving, and the hideous French sailors took out the daggers at their waists and rushed towards them.

The two water spirits looked at each other without hesitation, one of them stayed behind to continue nailing, while the other pulled out the harpoon that had been sawn off at his waist and protected it from his brother's left and right.

This is pure cold weapon warfare, and no matter how good a foreign gun you have at the bottom of the sea, you can only rely on your own hands and weapons in your hands.

Sure enough, it was an inch long and an inch strong, and I saw a two-foot-long harpoon stabbing past, and the sailor who rushed to the front was poked out of three blood holes in his chest, and streams of blood gushed upward, and bubbles bubbled out of the soldier's mouth.
