Chapter 120: Bomb for half an hour first
night
The moonlight shines with a silver glow
The sea was dotted with silver light, and the four Galen ships broke through the sea and slowly sailed towards the west shore.
The British had not let their guard down on the eastern flank, so they were well aware of the movements of the four Galen ships.
For the past month, the four ships have been cruising in the sea, and they have not done anything out of the ordinary.
Originally, the British thought that tonight would be the same as usual, and the other side was just preparing for them to cross the sea, but the four Galen ships turned to the side and opened fire.
Boom Boom!
The Galen ship flickered with fire and 'whoosh' over the British camp on the shore! Sou! Sou! The sound kept ringing, and the scalp of the listener was numb.
Although the largest gun on Galen's ship was only a 12-pounder gun, it couldn't hold Zhao Hongyu to get a flowering shell.
The projectiles were fired into the air above the British camp, shattering and then firing down into the canopy. The sheer extent of its power is staggering, and almost all improvised structures and people that are within its radius will be destroyed in an instant.
The poor British, just like that, unsuspectingly, lost a lot of soldiers at once.
Although some of them were on guard, Zhao Hongyu did not land, but opened fire at sea.
The improvised fences built by felling trees and the tents in the camp were bombarded by the bombardment of 64 guns from four ships.
(Note: The Galen ship that Zhao Hongyu obtained had 16 guns and a single deck.) )
"Let's talk about it for half an hour, we have enough ammo. After clearing the unnecessary obstacles, land on the shore. Zhao Hongyu said loudly as he stood at the bow of the ship and watched the British camp on the opposite side constantly being overturned under artillery fire.
"Good leader, let's go for half an hour." After Wang Shan, who was standing behind him, answered, he immediately conveyed this order and conveyed it to Song Hu, Lamur and Chel.
On the deck behind Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan, the Somali blacks stood there in a neat line.
On their bodies, they are dressed in neat 18th-century European soldier attire. Red military uniform, white breasts, black trousers, and black leather boots.
No matter how you look at it, it reveals a sense of spirit.
It's much more durable than a month ago when I was just wearing big green pants.
It's not that Zhao Hongyu likes to spoof, but when he invested, the copycat scientific research institution even upgraded the function of clothing, so this kind of clothing that would only appear in the 18th century appeared in Zhao Hongyu's group in 1620.
Although he couldn't laugh or cry about this, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was always better than wearing only pants. So I accepted this fact, and bought these 18th-century military uniforms and equipped them with the genetics.
After these genetic people ship these costumes, don't you really talk about it...... That's a lot more energetic.
Unfortunately, because it was summer, they couldn't wear black cylindrical bearskin hats because the weather was too hot. It's okay to wear this kind of clothes, but if you wear that hat, you'll.
Zhao Hongyu is also wearing a red military uniform, with a white breasted button on his chest, black pants and a pair of black leather boots. He carried a gold-encrusted sword around his waist, and compared to ordinary genetic people, he had a pair of golden epaulettes on his shoulders to symbolize his identity.
Is this a transition from the 17th century to the 18th century?
No, it's just a slight change in clothing.
Wang Shan is also like this, making his whole person look like that. At the same time on his shoulder is a vertical golden epaulette, without tassels.
People like this kind of clothing gene very much, after all, they also like to dress themselves up a little spiritually. Even those people with wooden genes showed a proud look on their faces when they wore such clothes. …,
"You said that if we people appeared on the European continent, would those turtles be shocked when they saw our military appearance?" After Wang Shan conveyed Zhao Hongyu's order, he turned around and chatted with Zhao Hongyu.
Now the bombardment of the British camp on the other side has only just begun, and there is still some time left in half an hour.
"That's for sure, Europeans love this kind of bells and whistles right now. If our military appearance appears on the continent, they will immediately have to kneel and lick, and of course I'm talking about the noble ladies. ”
Zhao Hongyu is now 'strong and strong', and his mentality is much more relaxed than before.
Don't look at the British and his vassal tribes on the other side, there are thousands of people combined, but these people are all chickens and dogs in front of Zhao Hongyu.
Although he only had more than 1,200 soldiers, they were all elite soldiers.
Coupled with shotguns and artillery, he can't believe that he can't kill these turtles?
If this doesn't work, then he, Zhao Hongyu, is really weak.
"Hehe", Wang Shanyin smiled, "That's right, let's wear this dress and change our spirit too much, and it will definitely shock those European ladies." It's a pity that we can't go there now. Licking his dry lips, his face full of lewd smiles.
Looking at the smile on Wang Shan's face, Zhao Hongyu also laughed.
"You guy, can't you think of anything else in your head?" , Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and pointed at him and nodded, "Are you going to find a woman by your side, or go to the British captives to find a girl." ”
Wang Shan shook his head: "My vision is not so bad, although these British women are okay, they don't meet my requirements." In the future, you must be the founder of an empire, how can I also be a duke, how can I find such a woman. ”
Yo ho!
Listening to Wang Shan's words, Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but be happy.
"I can't see that your kid's vision is quite high, but I don't object, if you have a chance in the future, it will depend on your kid's means." , Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan with a smile.
In all fairness, Wang Shan's dream is not unrealistic.
Zhao Hongyu is also quite supportive, after all, it is not the Chinese people who he wants to harm, and it is not a big deal for those European noblewomen to be harmed by him.
Half an hour was up quickly, and the four boats were also docked.
After half an hour of shelling, the British camp had been completely destroyed, leaving only the wreckage and ruins of one place.
At the same time, in the open space near the shore, it was also cared for by artillery fire. A blank space was cleared for Zhao Hongyu and they were prepared for their landing.
Lowering the deck, the soldiers walked down the Galen ship in a neat queue.
Disheveled! Disheveled! Disheveled!
Soon, the marines on the four ships had landed.
In addition to the 120 sailors left on each ship, the landing operation totaled 800 marines.
The shelling had stopped, and the wails of the British camp continued.
However, Zhao Hongyu did not have a pity expression on his face, and he did not have a good impression of the British.
"Forward!"
The team of 800 people, Wang Shan and Song Hu, as well as Lamour and Chelsea, each led 200 people.
In each team, the Chinese and Somalis are mixed, so as to avoid dominance.
The soldiers took their flintlock pistols in their hands in unison, loaded their bayonets, and pressed in a neat line towards the British camp.
The natives on the opposite side are coming, everyone is arrayed!
In the shelling of the first half hour, the British commander Davide was hit by a shell and died on the spot, but he had just seen gold in the morning and died in the evening.
It can be seen that he really has no fate with gold. …,
Instead, they went to the commander, which confused the British.
As the saying goes, the snake can't be without a head, and the commander is hiccuping, how can this battle be fought without a commander.
Fortunately, the British were only slightly confused, and soon a junior officer took control of the situation.
As long as there are officials who stand up, then the soldiers will naturally obey orders.
But compared to the well-behaved British, the Indians, who came with the army, were in chaos.
Some Indians simply slapped their butts and ran away during the first few rounds of shelling. Others hid on distant hills, waiting for the worst results.
Because they also saw that the opponent of the British this time seemed to be very difficult.
They also have ships of the sea, as well as sharp weapons.
So, now they have to choose carefully.
In case these enemies are more powerful than the British, this area and Virginia will not all belong to people in the future.
Even if you choose a master, you have to choose a great one.
The British did not know what to do, and the Indians, who were now vassals under their command, had begun to have other plans in their minds.
In fact, the Indians can't be blamed for this, who let the Indians in Virginia learn from the British that they don't do anything if they don't do good.
Originally, they were also very simple and simple, but unfortunately they were damaged by the British.
Four teams of phalanxes, Zhao Hongyu They also listed the phalanx.
Because the flintlock muskets were equipped with bayonets, this gave them an increase in combat effectiveness, and the use of phalanx tactics was also based on the tactics of 18th Europe.
Since this phalanx was still popular in the 18th century, he must have had a point.
Although they were arranged in a phalanx, the soldiers also followed the line of linear tactics.
Wave ahead, take turns shooting!
In the blazing British camp, the hastily organized British soldiers scattered and charged.
Bang! Bang!
The genetics in the first row fired a volley, and the British soldiers who rushed over shouting and killing fell to the ground one after another, and then the genetics soldiers in the third row of the second row and the fifth row of the fourth row instantly advanced a distance of about ten meters before stopping.
The soldiers in the first row became the last row and began to reload their ammunition.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The queue went on and on, rolling forward like a wave, and the Brits couldn't charge at all.
And the British soldiers who fell to the ground, when the gene people passed by, the gene people would use bayonets to come up and solve their pain...... (To be continued.)
