Chapter 914: Attack on Canada
September 15, 24th year of Daming Zhongxing. Heavenly sound.' 2
After a transit on the island of Hawaii and more than two months of sailing, thousands of huge ships on the east coast of North America's Big 6 docked at the port and began to unload the war horses on board.
The Port of the Americas was the first stronghold established by the Ming Army Deng6 North America 6, and after reconstruction, it became the Ming Dynasty's 'Port of the Americas'.
The horses neighed, and batch after batch of horses were driven down through the hitch that connected the port to the ship.
In less than a moment, hundreds of horses were on the ground. Read the Chinese website again, the update is the fastest.
The neighing of the down-to-earth war horses became louder and louder, as if they were excited that they had finally broken away from the bumpy and shaking ship and came to the 6th place.
"Place the horses!" Yan Yingyuan smiled and ordered the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers of the Ming army moved the unloaded war horses to the prepared horse farm for resettlement and restoration.
The war horse has just landed, and it can't fight immediately, and it also takes about ten days to cultivate and adapt.
However, no matter what, the arrival of the war horse means that the army can finally form an iron cavalry, the strength of the army will be greatly increased, and the goal of encircling and annihilating the colonial armies of European countries and completely occupying the entire Americas will be easier to achieve.
The number of the first batch of war horses totaled 30,000, and more than 40,000 were originally transported, but thirty percent died in the middle of the way, and only 30,000 finally arrived ashore.
This is already good, after all, it was originally estimated that only sixty percent of them would survive to the Americas, and now there are as many as seven floors, thanks to the sea training before going out, as well as a short rest and transit on Hawaii Island.
30,000 war horses, excluding hauling supplies and the like, can completely allow the Ming army on the American 6 to form at least 20,000 iron cavalry, with 20,000 iron cavalry, and the mobility of the Ming army has been greatly enhanced at once.
"Prepare for battle! Prepare to attack Canada! Yan Yingyuan ordered to the 100,000 Ming army.
October!
After half a month's rest, the war horse was re-fattened and adapted to the environment of the American Big 6, and the 20,000 Ming Army Iron Cavalry was formed.
On October 3, in addition to leaving 50,000 Ming troops to garrison the thirteen states, Yan Yingyuan personally led the remaining 50,000 Ming troops to attack the French colony Canada in the north of the thirteen states, with the obvious intention, that is, to defeat the French and capture the French colony of Canada.
On October 5, after a two-day march, 50,000 Ming troops marched out of New York City and slaughtered on the border between the thirteen states and Canada.
Yan Yingyuan sent many spies to Canada.
It didn't take long for the spies to come back with the news that they had found the French troops defending the border, and about 20,000 French troops were defending the border.
Although he did not want to stimulate the Ming army and refused to form a five-nation alliance army to take the initiative to counterattack the Ming army, the Marquis of Orlan, the governor of France and Canada, never really relaxed his vigilance against the Ming army in the thirteen states, and deployed a full 20,000 French troops on the border to guard against the Ming army at all times.
Because of the last defeat, more than 10,000 troops were lost, even after more than three months of recovery, the number of French troops in Canada at the moment was no longer enough 50,000, and 20,000 were directly placed on the border.
"Attack!" Yan Yingyuan immediately ordered an attack on the French camp.
The 50,000 Ming troops immediately rushed to the French camp on the border.
Because the news was well blocked in advance before the Ming army sent troops, and the troops were advancing quickly, the French army did not know that the Ming army had begun to attack Canada.
As for the French camp, the French soldiers continued to patrol outside the camp as usual, unaware that the Ming army, which they had been guarding against, had broken through the border and was attacking their camp.
When the French soldiers who were patrolling outside the camp were now the Ming army, the Ming soldiers had already been killed to the edge of the French camp.
"God! Ming Army! They are the army of the Ming Empire! Seeing the attacking Ming army, the French soldiers on patrol widened their eyes and were full of fear.
The French soldiers ran towards the camp while shooting, warning the French soldiers in the camp with the sound of gunfire, the attack of the Ming army.
"Bang! Bang! ”
The sound of gunfire woke up the French soldiers in the camp.
The alarm bell of "Dangdang Dang -----" was sounded, and a large number of soldiers of the army rushed out with flint guns in hand, ready to stop the enemy attacking their camp.
The French soldiers relied on the large battalion to defend, and if they faced an enemy with little difference in weaponry, even if there were three or four times as many enemy troops, they would have to pay a great price to attack their large camp.
It's a pity that they are facing the Ming army, even if they rely on the defense of the large battalion to defend, under the attack of the Ming army, it may not be of much use.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The shells exploded in the French camp, killing and wounding a large number of French soldiers in the camp, and the entire French camp was in chaos.
Some of the Ming machine gunners who rushed to the front, when they were still more than 200 meters away from the camp, suddenly lay on the ground and operated machine guns to strafe the French camp.
The bullets from the "Da ----" machine gun pierced the bodies of one French soldier after another.
----The Ming soldiers armed with rifles also aimed at the French soldiers in the large camp and fired intensively.
Under the blow of the dense fire network composed of machine guns and rifles of the Ming army, the French flintlock team that was forming a three-stage attack formation suffered heavy casualties, and fell in pieces, almost as if they were slaughtered.
"God ----" Such a powerful offensive of the Ming army frightened the French soldiers in the large camp stupidly at once.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The French artillery in the camp was also firing at the attacking Ming soldiers.
The shells killed more than a dozen attacking Ming soldiers.
However, these French cannons opened fire, and immediately faced a more fierce counterattack from the Ming artillery.
"Boom, boom, boom----" The entire French artillery array was blown into a sea of fire at once.
In less than a moment, dozens of French artillery pieces were destroyed.
Several artillery pieces of the Ming army continued to bombard the French battalion.
At this time, the Ming soldiers who rushed to the front also entered the French camp, and the dense machine gun and rifle fire continued to shoot the French soldiers in the camp.
In addition to machine guns and rifles, grenades killed French soldiers hiding behind cover.
Compared with such advanced weapons of the Ming army, the French army's flint guns and pound guns were so backward that their large camp defense could not effectively block the Ming army's attack, allowing the Ming army to easily attack the large camp.
The strength of the Ming army broke the will of the French soldiers in an instant.
When 2,000 people were shot, the entire French camp collapsed, leaving nearly 18,000 French soldiers to abandon the camp in fear and continue to break back.
Some of these defeated French soldiers had participated in the last battle, and they were also defeated by the Ming army in the last battle, but many of them eventually escaped the pursuit of the Ming soldiers.
Therefore, this time, as soon as the French soldiers, who had the experience of escaping the last time, broke out of the camp, they threw away the flint guns in their hands and the weight on their bodies, and ran with all their might.
The other French soldiers, seeing their companions' way of escaping, also followed suit, and soon threw away the flint guns in their hands and the weight on their bodies, and began to flee with all their might.
However, it is a great pity that this time they are not as lucky as the last time.
"Boom Rumble----- When they threw away the flint guns in their hands and all the weight on their bodies and fled with all their might, they ran into the pursuit and encirclement of the 20,000 Ming army iron cavalry.
"No-----" The moment he saw the Ming cavalry, many French soldiers who had fled let out a desperate cry.
