Fontaine's troops, more than 5,000 men, of course, were not only soldiers of the Foreign Legion, but also pure French, but now they were all under Fontaine's command.

In the Foreign Legion, as long as there is an officer, it is French, that is, the French control of the Foreign Legion is extremely strict, and this time, after the French army captured Mexico City, it experienced some small battles, and the Mexican government of Juarez ran to El Paso.

That shouldn't be easy to deal with, and now, to the northwest, is a new empire, a country built by the Chinese, that ...... Definitely a bad country!

Fontaine's understanding of this military operation is like this, in his eyes, what revolutionary army, what Chinese, are a group of pustules without planting, he has not beaten these individuals before, he dealt with the revolutionaries in Europe in 1848, as for those yellow-skinned guys in the East, do you still need to deal with them?

You know, even in Crimea, he didn't let those Russians please him!

"Brothers! Do you guys need more rest?! ”

Although Fontaine's opponent is definitely rubbish, he is not an idiot, after landing that night, he immediately let his men rest, because after all, it is a night battle, and after all, it is a boat, everyone is an army, and the turbulence on the sea is terrible.

"Nope! We don't need to! ”

After a night's rest, the French boys were in good spirits!

"Good!" Fontaine was very happy. "The scout told me that there was a hill about 5 kilometers to the west, and that the bastards we had beaten away were now piling up there! Now those guys are likely to fight with their own dicks! Maybe it's to compete for some food. ”

"Hahaha......"

I have to say. Fontaine's joke is good, though a little vulgar.

"Can we make them so laid-back?"

"Of course not!"

"That's right! So, let's go kill them now! Let's kill those pigs! ”

"Oooo

"Forward!"

Under the sunlight reflected by Fontaine's command knife, the 5,000-strong French Expeditionary Force and the Foreign Legion began to march towards the hill west of Yuma!

On a hill about 5 kilometers west of Yuma Town, more than 400 soldiers of the First and Third Armies were sweating there.

Needless to say. That's Clint. The classic tactics of Emperor Li I, digging trenches!

Originally. By the time of last night, the trenches had already begun to be dug, but our comrades who were cultural instructors felt that such trenches were not enough. You'll have to dig some more.

Why?

Yang Willy's reason is very simple, that is, the current mountain is different!

To put it simply, it is a landscape on the edge of a desert, and the mountains of this place take on a different character, with little vegetation, thin soil, and more weathered stones.

Such a landscape, if the opponent bombards with artillery. So what to do?

Maybe the current cannon is not very powerful, but when the cannonball hits the stone and sputters, the power is multiplied. Thereupon. Yang Willy is a very smart guy, he estimated this, so he called on everyone to dig more trenches, these trenches are on the back of the mountain!

In military terms, this is called an anticline, but it doesn't seem to be used yet. But. Learning war in the midst of war is something that we Chinese are better at.

"Do you think this thing works?"

"How do I know? But. Anyway, the enemy didn't come, and being idle is also idle. ”

There are quite a few words like this, and most of them are skeptical of this fresh trench.

"I said Comrade Yang, are you really sure?" Regarding this situation, Song Yulong actually has no bottom about the next war.

"Our great emperor's tactics, so what is there to doubt? Moreover, we are still holding the weapons designed by the Great Emperor Xià, how can we fail? "Willy Yang is basically this set of words.

To tell the truth, this method of warfare, that is, digging trenches, is not too new, Yang Willy was also seen in some military books and strategies when he was in the UK, of course, those are all foreign works, but however, after he came to the New Tang Empire in the United States, he found that the hand of this emperor is still good, and it is very effective in reducing the number of casualties.

So now, according to the reality, the opponent is menacing, we can't stick to the rules, we have to make some changes. But there is no reason here, to be honest, he Yang Willy doesn't know whether this trench dug on the anticline is good or not, but if he doesn't dig it, the result will be needless to say.

So, he had to take advantage of the personality cult of the emperor's majesty, to say that he was an overseas traveler, in fact, he didn't have much awe for the emperor's majesty.

The Imperial soldiers were toiling on their side, but where did the French go on their side?

"Look! Those guys are coming! ”

Finally, the scout on the top of the hill saw the shadow of the enemy, but this one was 'countable'......

It's already evening, but it's okay, after all, it's a long day in the low latitudes.

Well? Why did the French come so late?

Soon, Yang Willy climbed to the top of the mountain, and then took a look at the binoculars and understood.

Cannon!

The French were not fools, the men dismantled the cannons from the warship, and slowly advanced to the foot of the mountain!

Fontaine, the commander of the Foreign Legion, he didn't give it for nothing, this guy is also an old fighter, although he inspired his subordinates, but he didn't let them die.

The French army now has a clear advantage, they are numerous, and they are still attacking suddenly, but the opponent now has the advantage of terrain, and it is not easy to capture a mountain this year. But however, our French army has artillery.

The French army has entered Mexico City until now. It's been a year, and that's time for them to do something, when the American Empire was founded. Didn't Napoleon III issue a proclamation declaring war?

Yes, this guy was serious, so he asked the French army in Mexico to convert many captured merchant ships into warships.

This trick...... Li Mengyang has also used it before, and the ship is very easy to change this year.

Thereupon. Now Fontaine is going to get these cannons down again, and that's it. Naturally, the speed is slow, but the results are good.

20 cannons, this firepower is already very impressive, just the opponent's hill now. The French army has such strong artillery support, it should be said that it will be taken in minutes!

"Shelling!" Sure enough, Fontaine was full of confidence, and his 20 cannons began to roar!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

"Withdraw!" As soon as Yang Willy saw this situation, what else did he say, run!

Bang! Bang!

The hill was shaken by the fierce artillery fire, but at this time, the 400 or so men of the First Army and the Third Army were basically in the trenches on the anti-slope.

All right!

Of course it's fine. Where can the artillery of this era hit something on the anticline, the accuracy is very poor, even if it is the French army, which is famous for its cannons. That can't be helped.

Bang! Bang!

Fontaine took the telescope and looked up the mountain, and saw that it was a dusty and rocky patch, which was not spectacular.

But he also found a problem, and that was that it seemed that his enemies were gone.

"Shrunken turtle!"

Fontaine scolded with a smile, he didn't look at his opponent at all now. Then command the sword skirt uàn seal

"Forward!"

"Let's go!"

"Forward!"

With the sound of the order, the formation of the French army began to change. The first to fight was the French Foreign Legion, a group of soldiers who were actually the best soldiers of a hundred battles and the most trusted by Fontaine.

Of course, he didn't send all his men out, a regiment of foreign troops, plus a regiment of French troops, a total of almost 2,000 men, they lined up and charged the unknown hill!

Of course, if the charge of this era is called a charge......

"Comrades!" The remaining reconnaissance posts naturally had to be called.

"Comrades! Let's get into position! Yang Weili gave an order, and the 400 members of the revolutionary army were unambiguous and acted quickly.

Why are you so obedient?

Because of the ferocious shelling just now, no one was killed or injured, this is simply amazing!

Yang Willy knew that one of his bold ideas played an important role, this was a reasonable use of the trench, to be honest, it was completely forced out, the opponent was too strong.

Now the strength comparison is, 5000 to 400!

Is there a chance to hold the ground?

Boom! Boom!

In a row, the platoon, the officers brandished their command knives and shouted passwords, and 2,000 people slowly rushed up the mountain.

"Comrades! Come closer! Come closer! ”

Yang Willy is reminding everyone, but in fact......

"Comrade instructor, we all understand."

"That's right!"

Yes, the revolutionary army is simply too familiar with this mode of battle!

Yang Weili had seen the training of the revolutionary army, and he had this feeling from this training, 'It seems that the revolutionary army is training for the tactics of this era......

However, the French army has almost rushed, so don't think about it at this time.

"Comrades! Shoot! ”

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

The platoon gun position composed of more than 400 people, after the opponent left, suddenly burst out with rapid force, and the rows of bullets fired out seemed to be the scythe of death!

Whew...... Ahh......hh

Fontaine's head was covered with a layer of sweat in an instant, because he saw his men fall down in a large area after a cloud of white smoke rose from the opposite side!

It's not that he hasn't seen similar scenes after a long time on the battlefield, but the current one is too neat, this is not ......

Did we meet a great guy?! (To be continued)

PS: Thank you! Black car really thanks!
