Chapter 905: Attacking the Thirteen States of North America (2)

Not to live up to the panic of the British, Yan Yingyuan and other Ming troops immediately shifted their attention to the thirteen North American states of the British after occupying the west coast and central part of North America.

Conquering the thirteen states of Britain and North America, and then advancing north and south to completely occupy the North American continent, was the early strategy set by the Ming Dynasty.

According to this strategy, Yan Yingyuan left 40,000 Ming troops to garrison various strongholds, while the remaining 60,000 Ming troops attacked the thirteen states of Britain and North America under his personal command.

"Hehe, English barbarians, after the Battle of Malacca that year, Da Ming did not immediately counterattack you, but it doesn't mean that Da Ming will let you go like that, now, you start to meet Da Ming's revenge!" Yan Yingyuan said with a murderous smile.

In fact, the current thirteen states of North America are not only the original thirteen states, because the British defeated the French and included the Mississippi River in France into the sphere of influence of the thirteen states, so the current thirteen states of North America actually include about eighty percent of the Atlantic coast east of the Mississippi River.

In April, Yan Yingyuan led the Ming army to destroy several British surveillance positions on the west bank of the Mississippi River, and began a large-scale river crossing to attack the territory of the thirteen North American states.

"Boom, boom, boom-----"

------Under the powerful artillery fire and machine gun fire of the Ming army, the British colonial troops on the east bank could not even get close to the river to block the landing of the Ming army, and they were also killed and wounded by the artillery of the Ming army.

A large number of Ming soldiers crossed the river on a large scale on improvised rafts.

"God, they're too strong!" A general of the British colonial army said with a pale face when he watched his soldiers being killed under the fire of the Ming army on the other side.

The Ming army had not even landed here, showing such great strength, and he could be sure that once the Ming army landed, they would not be able to resist the Ming army's attack.

"Quick, rush up, stop them, can't let them cross the river!" The British general shouted.

The only thing that could stop the Ming army was the big river in front of them, and they couldn't let the Ming army cross the river like this no matter what.

A group of British soldiers braved the artillery fire of the Ming army and rushed forward, intending to shoot the Ming soldiers on the raft with the flintlock pistols in their hands to prevent the Ming soldiers from landing.

Unfortunately, this group of British soldiers had just rushed out, and before they could rush to the river, they were killed by the machine guns of the Ming army on the opposite bank.

----When more than 20 British soldiers were shot, the remaining British soldiers were so frightened that they didn't dare to come forward anymore, because they didn't go up to stop the Ming army from crossing the river, but went up to slaughter the Ming army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The British artillery was also out of range of the Ming machine guns and fired at the river.

More than two dozen shells exploded on the surface of the river, blowing up a column of water.

A raft carrying more than a dozen Ming soldiers was directly hit, the raft was blown up, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers on it were overturned and thrown down the river, of which no less than six Ming soldiers were directly killed, and the remaining Ming soldiers struggled in the river.

Another raft was also blown apart by a cannonball, although the raft was not directly hit or overturned, but the exploded water column swept the three Ming soldiers on the raft into the river.

"Calculate the location and destroy the British artillery as soon as possible!" Yan Yingyuan ordered to the artillery battalion.

The general of the Ming artillery battalion immediately roughly calculated the specific location of the British artillery according to the direction in which the British artillery had been fired just now.

No less than fifty cannons aimed at the approximate direction of the British artillery firing just now.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! After a while, the cannon was fired a second time.

More than 20 shells exploded on the surface of the river, and although none of the shells hit the rafts directly, two rafts were overturned by the exploded water columns, and nearly 30 Ming soldiers fell into the water.

However, this round of shelling also completely exposed the specific location of the British artillery.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom -----" dozens of Ming artillery artillery fired at the place where the British artillery was.

"Boom, Boom, Boom ----" two consecutive rounds of bombardment, and more than 20 British artillery pieces were completely destroyed.

“no!” Seeing that more than 20 of their cannons were destroyed in an instant, and hundreds of gunners were killed, the British generals shouted unacceptably.

The weapons gap is simply too great.

The British flintlock pistols and twelve-pounder guns may be the most advanced weapons in Europe, but in the face of the Ming five-round rifles and machine guns that can be operated by one person, the British army's weapons are too backward.

"Bang!" The first raft with a dozen Ming soldiers on board docked.

More and more rafts carrying Ming soldiers docked.

Ming soldiers began to land on the west bank and launched an attack on more than 10,000 British troops on the west bank.

Some British soldiers stood up and planned to kill several Ming soldiers who had landed with flintlock muskets, but unfortunately they had just stood up and were immediately shot by the rifles of the Ming soldiers.

"Smack! Syllable! Dozens -----of gunshots rang out, and seven or eight British soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

"Stop them!" There were British generals shouting.

According to the perception of the British army, it generally takes a certain amount of time for a musket to be loaded just after firing, even if it is loaded quickly.

The British general planned to shoot and kill the dozens of Ming soldiers who had just landed when they had just opened fire.

However, the Ming soldiers were not as good as the British imagined.

The rifles of the Ming soldiers came with a five-round magazine, and it was only a matter of pulling the bolt to change the ammunition, and it did not take more than two seconds before and after.

Therefore, when hundreds of British soldiers were ordered to stand up, the Ming soldiers had already completed the action of pulling the bolt to change the ammunition.

"Smack! Syllable! "----The Ming soldiers shot at the British soldiers who stood up, directly killing and wounding nearly 20 British soldiers.

Of course, there were hundreds of British soldiers standing up, and even though nearly 20 were killed and wounded, most of them were not hit.

"Bang bang bang -----" The British soldiers finally had to shoot at the triggers of the flintlock pistols of the Ming soldiers.

Dozens of lead bullets were discharged from flintlock pistols in the hands of British soldiers.

Eight Ming soldiers were shot, one of whom was shot five times and died instantly.

However, the Ming soldiers also finished pulling the bolt again, and more Ming soldiers who landed later also shot at these British soldiers who stood up, and even the Ming soldiers who landed later brought a few machine guns and fired at these British soldiers who stood up together.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack-----"

"Da ------"

All but one or two who were lucky enough to have the remaining British soldiers who stood up were shot.

The British general's heart was dripping blood, and he exchanged the casualties of more than 100 soldiers for the casualties of less than 10 Ming soldiers, and such a battle could not be fought at all.

More and more Ming soldiers landed on the landing, and when the number of Ming soldiers who landed exceeded 300, the Ming soldiers began to put on bayonets and attack the British defensive positions.

The British dug trenches, and all the British soldiers hid in the trenches.

----The artillery group of the Ming army on the east bank has been pouring shells into the British positions, and the corpses and stumps of British soldiers have been thrown out of the trenches.

Even if the British troops were hiding in the trenches, although the rifles and machine guns of the Ming soldiers could not hit them for a while, the British troops in the trenches were not only facing the threat of artillery shells, but also the grenades of the Ming soldiers.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "A dozen grenades were thrown into the first trench, and the two dozen or so remnants of the British soldiers inside were all blown away.

Fear spreads among all the British troops, and such a battle really can't be fought.

"God, if this continues, we all have to die!" The British general said with fear in his eyes.

“go! go! go! Fall back! Fall back! The British general ordered.
