Chapter 911: Appetizers

At this moment, the commander of the heavy mortar battalion directly under the independent regiment did not know when he came over.

Looking at the red-clothed cannon being erected by the new army of the imperial court a few hundred steps away, it was as if he saw a pile of gold ingots, and his eyes lit up.

Before the regiment commander could speak to the tiger, he took the lead and said: "Regiment commander, medium and heavy mortars with a range of more than three hundred steps are ready. I promise, as long as you give an order, at most five volleys, all the red-coated cannons of the new army of the imperial court will be turned into scrap metal, so that they will no longer be arrogant......"

Xiang Hu, who was smiling, was afraid that the commander of the heavy artillery battalion would order the artillery to open fire on impulse.

Therefore, as soon as the commander of the artillery battalion finished speaking, Xiang Hu shook his head and denied: "No, now is not the time for your artillery to show its majesty...... I'm afraid that as soon as your artillery battalion fires, it will scare away the thousands of new imperial troops on the opposite side......"

After speaking, Xiang Hu shifted his gaze to the chief of staff and asked with a serious face: "Chief of staff, is there no news from the roundabout troops...... If we don't block the enemy's back road, the enemy's red-coated artillery will open fire......"

Perhaps God sensed the anxiety in the heart of the regiment commander Xiang Hu, and as soon as Xiang Hu's words fell, a wolf smoke rose on a mountain beam behind the new army of the imperial court.

Faced with this situation, while the chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly reported to Xiang Hu: "Regiment commander, the roundabout troops have blocked the retreat of the new army of the imperial court...... Now the enemy in front of us can't fly out of our encirclement even if he puts on his wings...... I suggest that the artillery open fire at once and completely destroy the only red-coated cannon of the enemy that can kill and wound us......"

The voice just fell. The commander of the heavy artillery battalion stared at Xiang Hu with a pair of hot eyes. Wait for Xiang Hu to answer.

Of course, Xiang Hu knew what the other party was thinking. After nodding without the slightest hesitation, he decisively decided......

"Now that the encirclement of this enemy has been completed, there is no point in waiting any longer...... Signals, artillery, immediately open fire. After destroying the enemy's artillery positions, concentrate all the artillery and shell the enemy's gathering places ......"

In a word, no matter how many flowering bombs are consumed. We must defeat and disperse the enemy at the first time...... Only in this way can the musketeers of the three battalions take advantage of the chaos and eliminate them in one fell swoop......"

At the position of the new army of the imperial court, the general soldier of the new army was enjoying the scene of the artillery team setting up red-coated cannons with a smile on his face.

In the eyes of the general soldiers, as long as these red-coated cannons are erected, the result of waiting for the guerrillas in front of them will be devastating.

And as long as the hundreds of elite guerrillas in front of them are eliminated, the rest of the guerrillas will be fat on their lips, and they can eat whatever they want......

But. No matter what happens, there will be a lot of surprises. The battle in front of us is no exception.

Just when the general soldier fantasized about what kind of reward he would receive from the imperial court after the elimination of this guerrilla army.

A piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded over the battlefield......

Of the more than 5,000 officers and men of the New Army under the command of the General Army, more than eighty percent are new recruits.

However, the chief soldier himself is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has fought with the Haw Par Army.

So, he was more familiar than anyone with the screams of mortar shells across the sky.

Familiar with the scream of mortar projectiles, you are familiar with the terrifying power of mortar projectiles.

As a result, as soon as the piercing scream reached the ears of the chief soldier, the chief soldier's face turned pale.

Then, like a frightened rabbit, it suddenly reacted.

Under the equally shocked gaze of several Qian generals around him, he exclaimed loudly: "It's not good, the guerrillas are actually equipped with artillery...... This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against us...... Quickly, order the artillery team to move immediately, the target of the guerrilla artillery fire must be our artillery team......"

Perhaps to prove the general's inference, the exclamations of the general-soldier had not yet ended, and the deafening explosion sounded in the artillery position dozens of paces away.

As more and more flowering shells exploded on the artillery position, in the blink of an eye, more than five red-coated cannons were shrouded in the ease created by the explosion of flowering shells......

"It's over, the general's artillery team is over, the guerrillas, when did the guerrillas equip so many artillery, where did their artillery come from. Who can tell the general, what the hell is going on......" The general of the new army, who was shocked, heartbroken and puzzled, couldn't help but muttered to himself.

However, his question was not answered. Not only that, as soon as his question came out, a slightly frightened cry sounded in his ears: "General, you must move immediately, it's too dangerous here......"

It turned out that a slightly missed flowering bomb exploded when it was less than twenty steps away from everyone.

The head of the guard, who was shocked into a cold sweat, was afraid that his master would encounter some misfortune. As soon as the flowering bomb exploded, it reminded the general soldier loudly.

Subsequently, regardless of whether the chief soldier agreed or not, he directly ordered a few guards to drag the general soldier in the direction away from the artillery position.

By the time the chief soldier broke free from the protection of a few guards and reacted from the shock. The second round of flowering shells fired by the independent regiment had already come to the sky above the artillery positions again with a screeching sound.

After dozens of flowering shells exploded one after another, five or six more red-coated cannons were drowned in artillery fire and gunsmoke.

At this time, there was only one thought in the hearts of the general soldiers, and that was heartache, heartache for those red-coated cannons that were overwhelmed by artillery fire.

Because, to a certain extent, these redcoat cannons are their biggest reliance.

And now, little by little, this dependence is disappearing.

In this case, the chief soldier also can't care about his identity as a third-grade and five-official court. The whole person was like an angry lion, shouting loudly at the guards and subordinates around him......

"What are you still doing? Support the artillery team immediately, and we must rescue the remaining red-coated cannons of the artillery team......"

No matter how fast a person is, he can't fly faster than the speed of the flowering bomb.

Despite the best efforts of the general soldiers to rescue these red-coated cannons. However, in the end, he could only watch as the red-coated cannons were drowned in the fire one after another.

"The artillery team is finished...... Looking at the artillery position that had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, the general soldier's face finally showed a desperate expression from the heart.

There is no doubt that the total annihilation of the artillery corps was definitely an unprecedented blow to him.

However, what he didn't expect was that this unprecedented blow was just the beginning.

After successfully destroying the 20 red-coated cannons of the officers and soldiers, the hundreds of gunners on the artillery positions of the Independent Regiment, under the orders of the commander of the heavy artillery battalion, immediately adjusted the muzzles of their guns and prepared to launch a new round of artillery fire against the enemy in front of them......
