228 Captured

When Wu Jie and the others began to rectify, Decai and Wu Chao also came with information that they also encountered the impact of rolling wood, and the loss was not small, so they hoped to suspend the siege of the city and wait until the reorganization was completed, and then make a decision.

In this regard, Wu Jie naturally agreed, he had already passed the time when he didn't use his brains to just fight, at this time, the opponent's target was close at hand, and he couldn't run, so why rush to let the team suffer greater losses and forcibly attack the city!

It was not until the afternoon that Wu Jie and his men moved the garrison back fifty zhang away, and dug several trenches four or five feet deep and one or two zhang wide in the direction of the front line as a buffer zone for the next roll of wood.

However, this day's siege of the city was also in vain, and seeing that the time was about to enter the night again, everyone could only wait until the next day to fight again.

The third day was early in the morning, this time Wu Jie and they were also smart, the last time they tried to attack, while suffering a little, it also made Wu Jie and them try out something: that is, the opponent's long-range firepower, under Wu Jie's three-point flowering offensive, there was a problem of not being dense enough.

Therefore, as soon as they came up this time, Wu Jie and the others were ready to make a big move, and at once they put the five platoons in their hands and attacked in scattered queues along the walls around the cottage.

And the natives on the opposite side, after yesterday's rolling log attack, easily repelled Wu Jie and their first siege, so they were even more confident that they could drive away this group of unknown enemies, and at this time they were also waiting for the arrival of the invaders below!

The first wave of the offensive was so strong and swift that Wu Jie not only pressed down more than half of the soldiers in his hands, but also started the Franc machine gun that had been built.

Accompanied by "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! From time to time, three or four pounds of solid iron bullets were used on the fence wall of the opposite cottage, making potholes the size of a basin, and even some old rotten walls and trees were broken into two sections and split under the devastating shells.

However, with the roar of the Franco's cannons, it was obvious that the bows and arrows in the hands of the indigenous warriors on the opposite side were not as accurate and dense as yesterday, and the formation of the skirmish lines this time forced the other side to divide their troops to guard the walls of the camps.

When the team climbed to the height of 2/3 of the hill, the opposite side once again threw down the round giant logs. This time, the prepared team members, taking advantage of the fact that the initial speed of the giant wood was not fast, saw the gap exposed between the rolling logs, and quickly gathered towards one of the gaps, and most of them dodged the attack of the first batch of rolling logs.

Occasionally, a few unlucky warriors, seeing that they couldn't run out of the attack range of the rolling log, immediately followed the slope, swung the wooden shield in their hands horizontally, inserted the upper end of the side into the ground, and the dagger in their hands pressed against the lower end, and the whole person retracted into the wooden shield, allowing the rolling wood to run over from the body, and after the rolling log passed, he quickly got up from under the shield and quickly retreated to a safe place.

Because of this scene, the natives on the wall of the cottage saw it, and they were already shocked by the roar of the cannons, and they were even more panicked at this time. The original combat power was ten, but under the magical actions of these two ignorant natives who seemed to be like heaven and man, there were only five or six points left.

In the process of fighting with the natives, Wu Jie has long realized that firearms have a great effect on these ignorant natives, and the brave natives will always hold their heads and run under the sudden sound of muskets. Cover was a terrifying thing for them to be terrified by the fact that they were so loud that they could not see anything coming, and that their companions fell.

This is also the reason why Wu Jiexin worked hard to bring people to carry hundreds of pounds of Franc machine guns here.

In fact, this batch of artillery did not live up to Wu Jie's expectations of them, although in itself, the power of these Franc cannons was not the most powerful in Hongtang. But in the eyes of these natives, every roar is accompanied by the destruction of the wall, or a piece of land in the wall, which is unimaginable to the ignorant natives.

The original intention was just to formally test the real combat power of the face clan, and Wu Jie, who had already been repelled by the natives, did not expect that just a charge, a team of special combat soldiers had already approached the wall of the cottage.

"Well, well done!" Wu Jie was on the front below, observing the progress on the battlefield with a telescope, and couldn't help shouting with joy.

The next step is to see if the players can grasp the opportunity to climb over the wall and take a stronghold in one fell swoop. The resistance was unexpectedly weak, and even at the most difficult moment of the siege of the city, when the long ladder was set up on the wall more than a foot high and climbed up with their bare hands, few indigenous warriors came out to shoot or stab down, and finally allowed the team to occupy a favorable terrain without danger.

After having a foothold, it is not easy to drive down the soldiers of the special operations battalion, not to mention that the team members generally found that the fighting spirit of this group of natives was extremely low, and many of them were fleeing around the cottage with their wives and children, and some even knelt on the ground tremblingly, muttering something to themselves.

It was only then that the soldiers of the special operations battalion discovered that in this cottage, which was not too small, it was a mess at this time, and the potholes and ruins bombarded by the Franco's machine guns could be seen everywhere. There is no way, although Hong Tang has paid great attention to the aiming technology of firearms, but due to the power of the gunpowder formula in this era, and the current artillery cannot guarantee complete sealing and other restrictions, when the artillery fires, it can only barely limit the shelling to a range that is not too large, but if you want to be as accurate as the meter in the previous life, it is simply a fantasy joke.

However, it was the deterrence and destructive power of these shells that fell in the cottage due to deviations that made many indigenous warriors frightened, and no longer cared about defending their tribes against incoming enemies, but instead ran back to their respective homes to see if their relatives were ill!

In this way, under such a fierce battle, Wu Jie and Decai's three battalions took down this clan cottage without experiencing too many fierce battles. Moreover, they also easily captured more than 800 tribesmen, and every indigenous person they captured basically looked at the team members with fearful eyes.

When Wu Jie and the others entered the cottage, they saw the hundreds of rolling logs still piled up in the open space in the village, and they couldn't help but be glad that this group of natives was not strong enough to fight, otherwise, if they really wanted to attack this cottage, they would really have to pay a lot of price!
