"Artillery loading!"

The battle on the side of the Eight Banners was in full swing, and the blocking team of the British who had already fought was miserable.

On this side, Commander Yuan Xiaoming also began to give orders to attack.

Unlike the battles of the Eight Banners, his side was full of infantry.

Therefore, his battle here cannot be the same as that of the Eight Banners.

The first thing he did was to let the artillery start bombarding the British, to see if they could crush the British ranks.

If you can, then the next battle will be much easier.

Sixteen twenty-four-pounder cannons were their formidable weapons.

The British, on the other hand, only had five twelve-pounder guns.

Now the distance between the two sides is 800 meters, and the opponent's artillery can also bombard their own battle formations.

However, considering the accuracy of the artillery of this era, as long as you can keep yourself from being afraid, then this battle is still easy to fight.

With Yuan Xiaoming's order issued, the artillery in the rear began to get busy.

Soon, the gunpowder and shells were loaded, and with the order of the artillery captain, the sixteen guns in turn let out a 'boom!' Rumble! Rumble! 'Sound.

The black shells were pushed out of the chamber and fired above the British battle formation.

"Don't panic! Advance! ”

When the British saw that the Song Empire had fired artillery, they knew that the battle had begun.

At this time, they can't take much care of it.

Rather than standing here and being beaten, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Immediately, the army of the British slowly pressed on.

Rumble!

A black cannonball exploded above the British battle formation, and the shattered iron shot out in all directions below the enemy.

The British people below fell to the ground one after another, and it was really mournful.

Blossom bombs!

It's a flowering bomb!

The faces of the British soldiers changed and became very ugly.

This kind of cannonball, which can burst, was used by Zhao Hongyu last year.

It's just that the Mohicans were used at the time, so they didn't do much harm to the British.

But how terrifying is the power of such shells. But it left an indelible impression on the hearts of the British.

Now that the army of the Song Empire has taken out this terrifying shell again, it is impossible for the British not to be afraid.

At that time last year, Zhao Hongyu's artillery caliber was not so large.

But this year, the artillery has turned into a twenty-four-pounder gun.

The caliber is larger, and the shells will correspondingly become larger.

The larger the shell becomes, the more lethal it is.

This is not a good thing for the British.

Because they are bombarded by flowering shells, the damage will also become more.

Isn't it, sixteen shells exploded. Under its might, almost three or four hundred people have fallen on the side of the British.

If it were in later generations, it would not be surprising that sixteen missiles killed three or four hundred people, but this was in the seventeenth century.

Therefore, a round of artillery bombardment, sixteen flowering shells gave such a big damage, which made the face of the British commander white.

It is known that the army of the Song Empire is not easy to provoke, but today I experienced it for myself, and I realized that this is not only difficult to provoke, but it is simply a killing god.

At that time last year, the Song Empire's army was far from that numbered. As well as such large-caliber artillery.

But now......

Charge!

The commander of the British army finally understood the unspeakable secret of the captain of the blocking squad, and this was only an artillery attack.

When you get closer, you still have muskets.

So, if it's still like this, the phalanx is lined up. If you are slowly advancing towards the enemy.

Then their losses will be even greater.

In this case, it is better to desperately think that the enemy in front of you will charge, and there may be unexpected effects.

Hence the commander of the British army. Only then did he immediately decide at a distance of seven hundred meters and gave the order to charge.

His thinking cannot be said to be wrong.

It can only be said that he has met an enemy that he should not have encountered.

Bang! Bang!

The British charged. On the side of the army of the Song Empire, the musket fire also began immediately.

Under the five-stage shooting, many Britons fell on the way to the charge.

It's lucky to be dead, at least that's what many Britons think.

At least, when you die, you don't have to be scared anymore, do you?

And the living, on the other hand, endure boundless fear, as well as the firing of artillery and muskets.

Those who are seriously injured are even more unlucky, and they have to endure both physical and mental torture.

No sooner had the battle begun than the British charged, bringing the battle to a fever pitch.

On the other hand, the Song Empire is very good-natured, and there is no tension at all.

In their eyes, the charge launched by the British was actually to send them to death.

Their bodies have no way to resist the power of the platoon gun.

The cyan smoke of gunpowder covered the front of the Song Empire's army, and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air.

In just three minutes, the British were shot down by more than a thousand people under the platoon guns, but they only advanced a distance of fifty meters.

In this way, if they want to rush to the front of the Song Empire, they will engage in hand-to-hand combat with each other.

The price paid is definitely not light.

But at this point, it's not so easy to change.

They had no choice but to bite the nail on the head and continue to charge.

If they retreat now, leaving their backs to the enemy, they will be greeted with even more brutal slaughter.

Yes, slaughter.

The British know this very well in their hearts.

Now they're having a hard time riding tigers.

No matter what method they choose, they will definitely not pay too lightly.

Of course, if you surrender, maybe things will be easier.

But the problem is that the commander doesn't want to surrender, so there is nothing they can do about these little shrimps under them-

Dividing Line –

"Count the days, the legions attacking the British colonies now should be about to reach Virginia. I really can't believe that Pennsylvania can be conquered so easily, and I don't know if they are too weak or we are too strong. ”

On the Maryland side, when there was a big battle between the army of the Song Empire and the army of Virginia, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan and Zhang Tie were on the Manhattan side. I was drinking milk tea in the open-air garden of my castle.

Now, Zhao Hongyu no longer has to do everything himself like last year. There is no longer a need to risk even a war yourself, as you did last year.

It can be said that Zhao Hongyu has now laid a good foundation, and now all he has to do is wait for the blossoming and harvesting.

It's just that this harvest can be very long, which is beyond his control.

"It is not surprising that Pennsylvania is a temporary occupation of land occupied by the British, and it is entirely to be expected that they will have a shaky foundation somewhere, so we will conquer it quickly. If you want to blame, you can only blame the British for not being able to do it. and greedy enough. ”

Wang Shan took the call and said.

"They know that we are next to that land, but they want to occupy that land, and this is not greed. Don't they know what to say, and this will cause us to rebound? Wang Shan said that the British came with disdain and contempt. Moreover, the British also colluded with pirates and caused us trouble, causing pirate attacks in the summer. I really don't know what to say about the British. ”

Zhang Tie sat aside and didn't make a sound, but it could be seen from the expression on his face that he agreed very much with what Wang Shan said.

"It's pretty idiotic. They let the pirates attack us. They have great benefits in success or failure, and the British are so good at playing this hand that it seems that this tradition has been around since then. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded.

Britain is an island nation, and its policy is to sow discord.

The European continent began in the XVII and XVIII centuries. The war has never stopped, and there is no shortage of British figures at work.

Because Britain will only benefit if Europe is in chaos.

If Europe is not chaotic, there is no benefit to the British.

This is already the policy of the British.

Even if it's in the Hereafter. The British have been pursuing this policy as the government's governing philosophy.

Napoleon!

World War I!

World war ii!

Basically, the origin of war in the world realm. All because of the British.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the British are the-stirring sticks in the world.

They don't do much good things, but they can't do bad things.

How could Zhao Hongyu not know.

Judging by the piracy incident, the British have now had such signs.

If it is placed in the future generations, Zhao Hongyu may not have a way.

But in this era where whoever has the big fist can speak, Zhao Hongyu feels that he should let the British know that not all countries can play with it.

"We don't have so much experience to pay attention to these things now, but we must keep in mind the troubles that the British have given us, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we must return them well."

Wang Shan and Zhang Tie nodded yes.

"Your Highness, you say that we attack the British colonies like this, how will the British side react?"

Zhang Tie asked at this time.

"What else can I react to, it must be like thunder." , Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu replied. "You have to know that Britain is a dick country now, and they are now relying on the American colonies to fill the empty treasury, and now that we have seized their colonies in the Americas, they will definitely not be in a good mood."

Wang Shan smiled and said: "If they are uncomfortable or unhappy, my heart will be uncomfortable or unhappy, and making them uncomfortable is the foundation of my happiness." But don't we have to worry that the British are likely to send a fleet to attack us? ”

Thinking of the British fleet, Wang Shan still had to cautiously remind Zhao Hongyu.

Hearing Wang Shan talk about the British fleet, Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the British are far from being as powerful as they were a hundred years later, with the six or seven hundred warships they have now, do you think we need to take it seriously." ”

Now that the heavy warships in Manhattan have been launched, and the copycat Dutch commercial and war dual-purpose warships have also begun sea trials, it can be said that Zhao Hongyu has the confidence to say such things. (To be continued.) )
