Battalion Commander Edward Stafford was only halfway through his shouts when a gunshot was heard. Then another gunshot rang out.

At the sound of gunfire, the two British soldiers sank at once. At this time, the position of the British was very troublesome, they were in the deepest water, and it was very inconvenient to move, and at this time they were live targets. And their posture is also very inconvenient to shoot back, even if they are reluctant to shoot, it will be difficult to ensure the accuracy of shooting because of the irregular action.

In addition to this, they have a big problem, which is that they cannot reload their guns in this environment. That is, after a shot, the gun in their hands really became a burning stick. Now, they can only roughly judge that the shooter is hiding behind a reed over there, and at this time, the most reasonable thing for them to do should be to aim their guns at that side, but not to shoot easily, to maintain a deterrent to that side, and at the same time to retreat quickly, or to rush over quickly.

But in the midst of this chaos, the British did not immediately make the wisest decision. They slammed and shot at the reeds on the other side. There was a burst of random shooting, but no one knows what it was doing. After a while, another shot rang out from the reeds on the other side, and another British soldier fell in response. The British quickly turned to that side and raised their guns in that direction, and then the shots did not ring - just now they had fired a volley in a panic, and as a result, they had run out of bullets in their guns. Now that they can't reload, they're almost empty-handed now.

"Bang" fired another shot from the other side, and by this time, the British were still unable to fight back.

"Rush, rush over and tackle them with bayonets!" Stamford shouted.

It is true that the morale of the British is not comparable to that of guys like "black dogs". Still with their guns in hand, they walked towards the reeds.

And the fighters of the guerrilla group over there had already seen the plight of the British at this time, and simply no longer hid behind the reeds, but stood up openly, shot at the British, then loaded the bullets in front of the British, then shot in front of the British, and then in front of the British......

Advancing in the water and mud, every step was difficult, but there were few people in the guerrilla group and many people in the British, although the guerrillas were shot several rounds at close range, and in the process, many British people suddenly fell into the quagmire, resulting in great losses, but the British lobster soldiers with iron heads still rushed up.

The British walked where the water was shallow, and they were about to go ashore. The shameless Irishmen naturally finished the last shot, turned around and ran, and the British naturally chased after them, and then chased for a while, and in front of them there was another piece of water, and far above the water, you could see a small boat—several Irish partisans, rowing this boat farther and farther.

"Quick, reload! Shoot! "Battalion Commander Edward Stafford is going mad.

But it took some time to load, and by the time they had loaded their bullets, the boat had long since rounded up to another reed and disappeared from behind.

"Damn Traitor...... After pouring out all the foul language imaginable, Battalion Commander Edward Stafford now has a problem to face, what to do next?

Keep moving? The water in front of us is bigger and deeper than the one just now. Make a detour? I don't know where those rebels are hiding in this swamp, where are they going? Get back? Aren't these people under his command shot by the Irish for nothing?

What's more, how to go back? Returning from the same route? I didn't think it when I rushed over just now, but now when I look back, I find that there are still five or six comrades on the same road, and only one head is left on the water, shouting "For the sake of the United Kingdom, pull brothers"! Go back the same way, do you want to leave a few more on the same road?

But it's not a thing to stay here.

Just when the battalion commander of Edward Stafford was helpless, he remembered the shouting "Sir...... Chief Stafford ......"

Battalion Commander Edward Stafford raised his binoculars and looked over the other side, and saw a group of black-skinned dogs, waving at them.

Each black-skinned dog has a bundle of reeds in his hand. The black-skinned dogs threw the bundle of reeds into the water, and after stepping on them for a few steps, they dropped the second bundle of reeds, and then stepped on them again, and slowly came this way. The O'Kelly who took the lead was still shouting, "Sir, don't worry, we're here to save you...... so angry that the Battalion Commander Sterford almost fainted.

It took the black-skinned dogs about half an hour to finally pave the road. Captain O'Kelly hunched his waist and trotted all the way to Camp Commander Edward Stafford, bowed, and said, "Sir, how did you get here?" I'll ......."

Before O'Kelly could finish speaking, Stafford slapped him in the face and smacked him up.

"Bastard, you say, where did you just go? Are you deliberately framing us in collusion with traitors? ”

While scolding, the Stamford battalion commander pulled out his command knife and pointed it at O'Kelly with the tip of the knife, so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, "You...... Yours...... Conscience...... Broken...... Broken! I...... I ......"

O'Kelly suddenly weakened his legs, and fell to his knees: "Sir, my loyalty to the United Kingdom can be witnessed by God!" I swear by the salvation of my soul, that if I collude with the traitors to frame the Chief, I will send my family to hell......"

"Bastard! So you say, where did you just go? What are you doing? If you can't say it, Lao Tzu will cut you! ”

"Sir, just now we met a couple of rebels over here, and they shot at us, and we shot back, and then they ran. We'll chase after us, and we'll chase them wherever we go......" Captain O'Kelly said, pointing to the place where the British had just been launched, "Sir, you don't know how cunning those rebels are, they have a boat hiding over there!" They got into the boat and ran this way at once. The water was so deep that we didn't dare to go down, so we remembered that we had just passed by a reed, and we would cut some reeds over there, bundle them together, and then spread them on top, and maybe we would be able to get by. Sir...... Where did the rebels go? ”

"Bastard, why are you moving so slowly!" Stafford put away his command knife and gave O'Kelly another slap in the face.

"Yes, yes, what the commander said is that these people under the lowly rank are too slow, too slow......"

O'Kelly said with a smile on his face.

Then he looked at the wider water on the other side, and said, "Sir, there is really no way to cross this water without boats." Why don't you retreat and go back first, and come back next time you bring a boat? ”

"Smack!" Annoyed and angry, Stafford immediately slapped Olivey in the face again, directly beating him to the ground on the mud.

"Bastard! If you don't kill all the rebels, I'll ...... I will not quit! Stafford roared.

As soon as he heard this, Orichy, who was still sitting on the ground, immediately jumped up, clenched his fists, and said with righteous indignation, without hesitation, without hesitation, and with righteousness and solemnity, he said firmly, "What the chief said is that we will not withdraw our troops until we kill all the traitors." ”

After saying this, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "But soon it will be dark, it is very cold in the swamp, and it is not good for the chiefs to catch a cold, so it is better to go back first, and we will come back tomorrow to kill them all......"

"Hmm!" Battalion Commander Stafford nodded, then whispered, "Go back!" ”

With that, Stafford led a group of British soldiers on the way back, and in his ears there was a shout from behind Orikai, "Go back with the commander today, and we will kill all these rebels later......"

At this time, the British soldiers who originally had their heads exposed and shouted for help to them had now sunk under the surface of the water one by one.

Stafford walked back, his heart was full of remorse and anger, he led his army into the swamp today, he wanted to do a miracle, but he didn't want to, he lost more than twenty people, and thirty or forty dogs, but he didn't kill even a single traitor, this ...... This time I went back, how to explain it? Even if the family has a little influence, their family is only a small nobleman after all...... Stafford could already imagine himself being forced to retire and then become a disgrace to his family.

"Sir, sir......" The Olikai leaned over with a shy smile on his face.

"What for?" Stafford was upset.

"The chief took the initiative to attack today and killed hundreds of rebels in one fell swoop, he is really heroic and invincible!" Orikai said with a flattering face.

"What did you say?" Stafford turned and glared at the black-skinned dog.

"Sir, that's what we've all seen." Orichie said without changing his face. Then he lowered his voice again; "Sir, only if you win, you will have more bonuses, which is good for everyone...... Isn't everyone coming out for the sake of good? ”

Stafford stared into O'Live's eyes for a long time, and after a long moment he said, "Good, you're good." ”

Stafford wasn't afraid that Orikai would threaten him or anything else in the future, an Irishman—no, an Irish black-skinned dog, no matter how much he barked at an English nobleman, no one would believe him. Moreover, a dog dares to bark at its owner, no matter what the content of its barking is, just barking itself is a capital offense. Stafford believes that a dog as smart as Orikai must understand this.

As for the British soldiers under him, they are all just civilians, as long as there are bonus pounds, at most Stamford himself plus a little, it should be able to gag their mouths.

"Just where is the seizure?" Stafford asked.

"Seizure? It's a lowly place here. "It's just that there are things that need your help from the sir......"
