Chapter 930: The Decisive Battle of Panama (5)
In the other two directions, there were also the troops of the Five Nations Alliance Army that formed a three-stage attack dense formation and slowly flanked towards the place where the Ming army was, and these soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army also held flintlock muskets, but they were subjected to the same fate as the Five Nations Alliance Army in front of them just now.
Under the blow of the dense fire network composed of rifles and machine guns of the Ming army, the corpses fell in pieces, and the dense team of three shots was instantly disintegrated.
Finding that the three-stage attack dense formation not only could not stop the Ming army's attack, but even caused more casualties among its own soldiers, the five-nation alliance army immediately gave up the three-stage attack dense formation.
However, in this way, the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army immediately entered a dead end, because the flintlock pistols in their hands were slow to reload, had a short range, and did not form a three-stage strike dense array, so they did not have much combat effectiveness at all, and they were also unable to stop the attack of the Ming army. Forming a three-stage attack array, it was like gathering to slaughter the Ming army, and it was even more impossible to stop the Ming army's attack.
The Ming army was so unstoppable that it was killing a bloody road, constantly attacking the west gate of Panama City, even if two hundred cannons in Panama City continued to bombard the attacking Ming army, but the speed of these two hundred cannons to replace the shells was too slow, and it was not enough to intercept the attack of the Ming army.
Directly in front of the Ming army's attack, the soldiers of the Five-Nation Coalition Army were defeated and retreated.
Seeing that the Ming army was getting closer and closer to the West Gate, even if a large number of soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army were supported from the southeast and southeast directions, the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army in the outer area of the West Gate soon exceeded 120,000 people, and the Ming army was surrounded by soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army on three sides, and the Five Nations Alliance Army could attack the attacking Ming army from three sides.
It's a pity that the Ming army is like a sharp sword, constantly piercing their defenses, unstoppable.
"Forward, stop these Ming troops!" Many generals of the Five-Nation Alliance roared angrily and ordered their soldiers to flank the Ming army on three sides to intercept the Ming army's attack, but they only ushered in a powerful blow from the Ming army's rifle and machine gun fire network, and they were killed and wounded.
No matter how the Five-Nation Alliance Army intercepted, how it flanked, and how many people there were, as long as it was within the range of the Ming army's rifles and machine guns, they would be hit by the powerful firepower of the Ming army, and they would suffer heavy casualties.
Many of the generals of the Five Nations Alliance opened their mouths wide, and they seemed to have gradually realized that the number of people did not seem to be the conditions that could help them defeat the Ming army, and they were completely miscalculated.
At the head of Cheng, Duke William and other top leaders of the Five Nations Alliance watched the Ming army's overwhelming attack, and their faces turned black and extremely angry.
"Wrong? Are we wrong? Duke William and others also began to slowly realize the strength of the Ming army, and it seemed that they could no longer defeat it by relying on numbers alone.
The guns of the Ming army were much more advanced than theirs, and the huge gap in weapons was like an unbridgeable chasm, which could not be filled by numbers at all.
In fact, as early as in several battles with the Ming army, at least Duke William and Marquis Ollang should have had some awareness, they should have already vaguely known in their hearts that the Ming army is not an army that can win by numbers, even if the number of their five-nation alliance army is more than nine times that of the Ming army at this moment, but this is still not a condition for them to defeat the Ming army.
Unfortunately, the Duke of William and the Marquis of Orlang were vaguely aware of this early on.
But they only vaguely realized in their hearts that they didn't want to admit it at all, or they didn't want to believe it at all, so they always thought that the numerical advantage could defeat the Ming army.
At this moment, at least Duke William knew that he was wrong, and this big battle might have been lost from the beginning.
"Da -----" suddenly swept a shuttle of bullets onto the city wall, sending bricks and stones flying.
Duke William subconsciously turned his head to dodge, and although the bullet did not hit him, some of the coalition generals around him died in three.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! Blood splattered from the bodies of the three coalition generals who had been hit, and the three coalition generals stared at each other and fell to the ground unwillingly.
"Lord Duke, be careful!" There were British guards rushing towards Duke William.
It turned out that the Ming army had broken through more than 600 meters of defense depth and killed only about 400 meters away from the wall of Panama's West Gate, which was already within the killing range of the Ming army's rifles and machine guns, and it was no longer safe on the city wall.
Coalition soldiers escorted Duke William and other high-ranking coalition soldiers from the city walls to the city, hiding from the bullets of the Ming army.
"Kill----"
"Poof! Burst! Poof----- "Soldiers of the Five-Nation Alliance, who were constantly blocking the front of the Ming army's attack, were killed by bullets.
The soldiers of the Ming army became more and more courageous the more they fought, even if the artillery of the Five Nations Alliance continued to fire at them, it still could not stop their attack speed, and it still could not save the end of the Five Nations Alliance soldiers who continued to retreat under their attacks.
400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters----------
The Ming army quickly killed under the wall of the west gate of Panama City, and at this time, more than 30,000 Ming troops had all entered the depth of the defensive position of the Five Nations Alliance, which means that at this moment, the Five Nations Alliance Army could completely block the rear of the Ming army in this attack and attack the Ming army on all sides.
In fact, the Five Nation Coalition did just that.
I saw that a group of soldiers of the Five-Nation Alliance had already stopped the rear of more than 30,000 Ming troops, and together with the other five-nation coalition troops from three directions, they were flanking the Ming army on all sides.
It's a pity that the Ming army is like a flock of tigers in a flock of sheep, no matter how many sheep there are, sheep are still sheep, tigers are still tigers, and it is impossible for sheep to defeat tigers.
"Dadada----"
"Poof! Burst! Poof----- "As soon as the soldiers of the five-nation coalition army on all sides enter the range of the Ming army's rifles and machine guns, their lives are not guaranteed, and the bullets of the Ming army may result in their lives at any time, and they want to rush into the crowd of the Ming army, there is no possibility at all, because the Ming army's firepower network is too powerful, and the Ming army is only sent up to the Ming army to be slaughtered.
In particular, the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance who were in front of the Ming army's attack were the worst, and now the Ming army was still 200 meters away from being killed under the city wall, and the bullets of the Ming army were completely able to pass through their heads and continue to hit the city wall.
One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters------
When the Ming soldiers attacked only 100 meters away from Panama City, the soldiers of the Five-Nation Alliance, who were in front of the Ming army's attack, could not bear it anymore and fled to the north and south, completely giving way to the road.
The Ming army smashed under the walls of the west gate of Panama City and began to attack Panama City.
"Bang! Bang! Bang----- "The soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance on the city wall suddenly stood up in a row and fired at the Ming soldiers below the city, shooting a row of lead bullets.
