Chapter 251: The British Army Who Knocked Out His Front Teeth

After resting for half an hour, David ordered his troops to prepare for the siege.

Another British force in charge of reinforcements had also arrived at the designated position.

At this time, the rain also slowly laughed, and after a while, it stopped completely. Although the clouds in the sky were still thick and overcast, it already made David laugh.

"Look, Carl, God is still on our side. Pass the order down and let the artillery start firing. ”

David said triumphantly to the adjutant on the side.

Soon, the British field artillery exploded, and David looked through the telescope at the defenders of the city in confusion, and his heart was even more proud.

"Tell the artillery boys, relax, don't run out of shells so quickly, or the infantry boys should kick their ass." David said with a smug smile as he observed the situation at the head of the city with a telescope.

The artillery of the British was actually only a field artillery for field battles, and was not suitable for siege cities. David knew this in his heart, but his plan was to defeat the will and courage of the defenders with artillery, and finally use infantry to occupy the city.

Moreover, even with heavy artillery, it would be extremely difficult to transport it on such a rainy day on a muddy road. Moreover, the reinforcements from their country did not carry heavy artillery.

The only ones that could be called heavy artillery were the large guns installed on their ships, but they couldn't be removed and used.

At the head of the city, Hei Xiaowu, the original garrison officer in charge of guarding, complained bitterly to Zhou Ze, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Second Army, who was standing at the lookout post of the city tower and observing the movements of the British army under the city with a telescope: "Commander Zhou, this British artillery is too fierce, and my brothers have been killed and wounded a lot. It's not the way to go. ”

Zhou Ze put down the binoculars, looked at Hei Xiaowudao and said coldly: "Black garrison, you are scared like this just after the British opened fire, if the British shoot a few more cannons, do you plan to abandon the city and surrender?" ”

Originally, looking at the baby-faced Zhou Ze, Hei Xiaowu, who was born as a local squire, was not very afraid, but at this moment, he felt that an awe-inspiring killing force suddenly burst out from the other party's body, and his face suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Head Zhou, of course this will not be." The villain is loyal to the court and His Royal Highness the Regent, how can he do something to surrender to a foreign race? I just didn't go through such a battle, and I came to you for an idea. ”

"Hmph, there's no better. Now that I'm in charge of guarding Wenzhou City, I'm in charge of everything. The British set of this set was just a deterrent of artillery fire before the official siege, and there was nothing to be afraid of. Their cannons can't beat this Wenzhou City, just let your people try to be as flustered as possible, and you don't have to worry about other things. Zhou Ze ordered in a cold voice.

Hei Xiaowu hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went out of the city tower to make arrangements.

He just saw that the burly guard behind the regimental commander had his hand on the handle of the pistol on his waist, and if he didn't behave well, he might collapse himself on the spot.

It is rumored that His Royal Highness the regent in the capital is very murderous, saying that if you destroy the whole family, you will destroy the whole family.

David looked through the binoculars at the panicked figures running around like headless flies on the top of the city, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at these cowardly fellows, who have been frightened by our fierce artillery fire and lost the courage to fight. I'm sure we'll be able to sit down in the city and enjoy a delicious dinner before dark, and the food in Zhongzhou is the most mouth-watering. ”

"The artillery was ordered to continue firing for ten minutes, and after ten minutes the infantry regiment attacked." David commanded loudly.

The British's artillery continued to roar for ten minutes before finally stopping.

At this time, in the field of vision of David's telescope, the head of Wenzhou City was already full of rubble, corpses were all over the ground, and there was not even a running figure in sight.

This made him feel a big chunk in his heart, and he waved his binoculars proudly and said, "The enemy has been frightened by our artillery fire. I believe that if we have two more infantry charges, no, even one wave, we will be able to occupy this majestic city. ”

Wenzhou City can only be regarded as a medium-sized city in the Zhongzhou Continent at most, but it is definitely a kind of heroic city in the distant British Empire.

After all, most of the cities in the British Empire were pitifully small and low.

"Order the 1st Infantry Regiment to begin the attack."

Soon, a regiment on the infantry line that the British had prepared for a long time shouted and rushed towards the city with guns in hand.

In the midst of them, there were some soldiers with dark skin or brown skin, carrying siege ladders and rushing forward together.

In the absence of heavy artillery, the British had no choice but to adopt this combination of ancient and modern siege methods.

However, these ladder soldiers were soldiers of other races, and it was impossible for the noble Germanic people to do such a thing.

The shouters of the British soldiers rushed forward, but the city was still quiet, which made the British soldiers believe that the defenders were frightened by their own artillery fire, so they became more and more courageous and charged faster.

David watched this scene in the telescope, and the smile on his face grew even bigger.

In his opinion, this siege battle was simply smooth and unexpected, and there was basically no suspense.

But just as the British soldiers rushed to the city and were about to climb up the ladder, countless gray figures suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and quickly threw black unknown objects into the city.

The sudden change of life made the British soldiers a little unresponsive, and there was a moment of sluggishness.

Those black unidentified objects fell straight into the dense British army under the city, and the roaring sound continued to sound.

With a puff of smoke, piles of British soldiers were instantly lowered to the ground like mowing grass, and even a small number of severed arms and stumps flew in the air.

After the first round of grenades inflicted heavy casualties on the British and a momentary delay in movement, the soldiers of the second regiment at the head of the city began to shoot at the bewildered British soldiers below the city with rifles.

And with the fire of the Wehrmacht, those garrisons also began to attack the British at the same time, accompanied by stones at the head of the city, gold juice used to defend the city, rolling logs, etc.

The sudden attack caused the British who were swarming in high spirits to suffer heavy casualties in a short period of time, and almost half of the more than 1,000 people in a regiment suffered casualties.

The British soldiers, who were lucky enough not to die, let out a panicked cry and began to flee backwards.

David, who had been waiting to see the achievements of the First Regiment, saw this scene from the telescope, his body shook and he almost fell off his horse.
