Three days later, the weather was clear.

Early in the morning, Sun Dingzong ordered his soldiers to attack the British army in the city of Bombay according to the original plan.

Yes, without any temptation, Sun Dingzong ordered a general attack on the British army.

"Fire!"

With Sun Dingzong's order, the artillery on the side of the Great Zhou poured artillery fire into the British fortifications as if they didn't want money.

Although the British army was outnumbered, Nold, not to be outdone, ordered his own artillery to fight back.

For a time, the positions of both sides were filled with the sound of artillery fire.

"All the troops are attacking!"

After three rounds of artillery fire, Sun Dingzong pressed all his forces and began to attack the British positions.

It is said that all the troops are actually only 15,000 soldiers of the firearms battalion.

Among the 40,000 people in the Western Route Army, there were 10,000 firearms battalions, and later Sun Dingzong brought all the 5,000 firearms battalions under his command from Delhi, so there was a firearms battalion of 15,000 people.

Even if there are only 15,000 people, compared with the British army, the Great Zhou side still has some relative advantages in terms of troops.

But in the end, Sun Dingzong's side was the attacker, so he really launched an attack, and Sun Dingzong's advantage was actually not very big.

But Sun Dingzong has his own methods.

Although the remaining 40,000 horses were not soldiers of the firearms battalion, they could still throw grenades.

Of course, it was not stupid to approach the British position directly to throw, if this is the case, how many men and horses will not be enough to be shot.

Sun Dingzong's plan was to let the soldiers of the firearms battalion under his command drag the main force of the British army, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers returned to the British army through the flank.

In the case that the main force of the British army was pinned down by the Great Zhou Firearms Battalion, relying on these 40,000 soldiers, it is very likely that they will be able to those Bombay cities.

Even if they can't, they can disperse the forces of the British army, which creates an opportunity for the firearms battalion.

Through the binoculars, Sun Dingzong saw that his 40,000 soldiers had successfully returned to the rear of the British army, and he was about to come to the city of Mumbai, but he didn't want Nend to be prepared for this. A thousand soldiers had long been arranged to lie in ambush on the walls.

After waiting for the soldiers on the side of Da Zhou to approach, the more than 1,000 soldiers on the city wall immediately came out to fight back.

With a burst of gunfire, in less than a pillar of incense, three or four hundred corpses fell on Da Zhou's side.

Seeing that the British army has made sufficient preparations, if they continue to storm the city of Mumbai, it is difficult to say whether they will take the city of Lower Mumbai or not, but the soldiers who attacked the city must have suffered heavy casualties.

So without even hesitating, Sun Dingzong ordered the soldiers under the city to retreat.

On the Bombay side, Noldh saw everything clearly, but did not order the British to pursue him.

Now there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in the city of Mumbai, and the main force is pinned down by the firearms battalion of the Great Zhou. If the British army in the city was ordered to pursue at this time, in case this was just Sun Dingzong's strategy, after the British army left the city, Sun Dingzong would send people to attack the city, then the result would not be good.

Nold's other day had seen the power of the grenade, and the condescending shooting of the British troops on the city walls made the grenade not exert much power.

But once outside the city, the power of the grenade will be highlighted, and what will the British army do to stop it at that time?

So with this in mind, it's not surprising why Nend didn't order the British to pursue.

On the positions outside the city, the battle between the two sides was fierce, and the roaring guns covered everything.

It seems that looking at the situation on the position, Sun Dingzong ordered the adjutant general: "Select five hundred good men from the soldiers who have returned as bombardiers to cover the attack of the firearms battalion!" ”

"Yes, General!"

With the 500 bombardiers on the Great Zhou side in place, the casualties on the British side began to increase, and soon the battle line on the Great Zhou side advanced by hundreds of paces.

On the walls of Mumbai, Nold's brow furrowed slightly when he saw the situation on the battlefield.

The staff officer suggested on the side: "General, in my opinion, the general should not give an order to let the soldiers return to the city. Mumbai is backed by a city wall, which can effectively avoid casualties of our army.

Besides, the soldiers shot condescendingly, and the casualties on the side of Da Zhou would definitely increase a lot. ”

"No way!" Nold shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten how Calcutta ended up in the hands of Da Zhou?" ”

Seeing Nold's words, the staff officer could only obediently shut up, and could only watch as the British soldiers outside the city fell to the ground one after another.

In the evening, the gunfire on the position finally disappeared, leaving only the pungent smell of fireworks.

After dinner, General Sun Dingzong's middle and high-level generals summoned him and said, "The old man plans to sneak attack the British position on the opposite side tonight. ”

"General, I'm afraid it won't work. Through today's one-day battle, the last general can see that the British army in front of him is far from being comparable to the British troops we have come into contact with before.

Compared with the British troops we have been in contact with before, the current British army is more warlike and more heroic. Besides, through stealing the city during the day, the last general still felt that the commander of the British army was not a master who was easy to fool, and he would definitely take precautions against our army. The adjutant general said with some concern.

"There's no need to worry about that!" Sun Dingzong said with a smile: "The old man is not really going to attack the British position tonight, but like this...... As long as the soldiers can stir up tonight so that the British army can't sleep! ”

Seeing Sun Dingzong say this, everyone suddenly realized, and complimented with a smile: "It's still a wise general!" ”

Sun Dingzong was not complacent, and ordered: "Inform me to select 5,000 soldiers from the battalion to attack the British position, remember that grenades can be made vigorously, don't save ammunition for the old man."

Also, once the British army pursues, immediately pull the troops back for the old man. ”

"The general can rest assured that the last general and others know what to do!" Several generals patted their chests and reassured.

"That's fine, hurry up and go down and make arrangements!"

After speaking, Sun Dingzong sent everyone out of the account......

That night, Zhang An, the commander of Jianningwei in Yunnan, led 5,000 soldiers under his command to the trenches of the British position, and did not stop until they were more than 200 steps away from the British position.

"Brothers, make it hard for Lao Tzu for a while, and make sure that those Yingyi can't sleep!"

"General rest assured, brothers understand what to do!"

After speaking, the soldiers under Zhang An's command scattered one by one and gradually approached the British position.

Although the general had ordered that the grenades could still be used as strong as they were, they were still far away from the British positions, and they would not just consume their ammunition.

When he approached about thirty paces from the British position, Zhang An, who was hiding in the trench, was the first to put the grenade towards the British position.

As the first explosions sounded, the rest of the soldiers began to drop bombs on the British positions......
