Chapter 256: Defeat

Rush forward and kill them all!

For the sake of our children and survival, kill them all!

Wave after wave of Iroquois charged, and the dense buckshot could not repel them.

Two hundred yards!

One hundred and eighty yards!

One hundred and sixty yards!

The Iroquois encirclement was gradually shrinking, putting a lot of pressure on the Gurkha legions.

"Steady! Stabilize the formation, don't mess around! ”

In the Gurkha phalanx, the shouts of the non-commissioned officers were incessant.

"The Iroquois attack is crazy this time, and it looks like they won't stop until they destroy us." The adjutant said to Sharma when he saw the Iroquois charging fearlessly, not retreating after being shot a few times, and only falling down when they couldn't support it.

Grabbed the reins in his hand, and stabilized the somewhat restless war horse under his crotch.

"They want to destroy us, but why don't we have such thoughts?" Don't be afraid, just let them rush. Either way, they're flesh and blood, not cyborgs. ”

Despite the pressure now, Sharma doesn't feel like he's going to lose, instead he has a strong belief in the fight.

There is no other reason, weapons are one thing, and the most important thing is the advantage in science and technology.

The Gurkha regiments were very well equipped, and the flintlock pistols were much faster than the arquebus, which allowed them to maintain a steady rate of fire.

At the same time, he has a big killing weapon that is useless, and if he uses it, it will definitely shock the Iroquois.

Yes, in addition to flintlock muskets, bayonets, and cold weapons, the Gurkha regiment also had an earthen bottle grenade. Basically every Gurkha warrior was equipped with six grenades.

The war has been fought for so long and so many times, and this kind of grenade Gurkha regiment has not been used.

As a result, the Iroquois are still unaware of their enemies. There is also such a weapon.

The lethality of bottle grenades is very high, so I don't need to describe this.

During last year's war with the British, the power of this grenade was tested.

And during the winter, the bottle grenade has been improved again, so the power has been improved a lot.

That's where Sharma's confidence lies.

At this point, if you can look down at the sky, you can see it very clearly. On this plain, the phalanx of the Gurkha people was located in the loyalist area of the plain.

The Iroquois, on the other hand, surrounded the Gurkha Corps and charged from all sides.

It can be said that the Gurkha regiment now has enemies on all sides, and there are still many enemies.

"Back out of the row. Grenade ready! Sortie! ”

The Iroquois were crazy, and their constant advance put pressure on the Gurkha Corps.

The problem arose that the Iroquois would not hurt them if they did not exceed a hundred yards. But if you get close to a hundred yards, the Iroquois arrows will come into range and deal damage to the Gurkhas.

Although this kind of damage is not necessarily great, it is not good after all.

So, in the face of the Iroquois, who were already approaching a hundred and twenty yards away, the Gurkha Legion had to deal a heavy blow.

After receiving the order, four teams of fighters in the back row in four directions. They all took out the bottle grenade from behind their backs and ran forward, and after they ran out of the queue, they lit the fuse and continued to run forward.

As they ran out of the air, the musket fire was stopped. Otherwise, you will definitely hurt your own people by mistake.

Ha Luha, the enemy's muskets have stopped, they must be out of ammunition!

Come on!

The Iroquois were very happy to see the gunfire stopped.

They mistakenly believe that their opponents are running out of gunpowder and buckshot. So they seemed excited.

As long as the enemy does not have gunpowder and buckshot, then it is easy to defeat. After all, there are more people on their side than on the other side, and they can earn both of them.

And the other party has been pressing them like this. Isn't it because the musket is sharp?

Well, now that the weapons the other party relies on are muted, how long will it take to kill them if they don't take advantage of the situation?

Come on!

However, to their surprise, although the enemy on the opposite side stopped shooting, many people escaped.

Hmph, hand-to-hand combat, we Iroquois don't fear that.

That's what all the Iroquois were thinking.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't run far before he stopped, and then threw something at his side.

When they had lost them, the enemies turned and ran back.

They were moving fast, and the Iroquois hadn't reacted yet.

By this time, the Iroquois had run within eighty yards.

This distance is already a very dangerous range for the Gurkha Corps.

Hey, what is this, why is it so smoking?

At this time, someone noticed that something was not quite right, and they found that the things that were rolling in the air and being thrown by the enemy were emitting green smoke.

Unfortunately, the Iroquois don't have time to think about it.

Peng!

Pemba! Peng!

They exploded right above their heads, shattered glass and small lead particles from the bottles shooting out around them.

The sound of a whizzing crack continued to sound, and then before the Iroquois could react, they fell to the ground one by one.

After a short while, the Iroquois warriors who rushed to the front could not stand up.

For a time, a large blank space appeared in the Iroquois charging team. It makes people look very weird and shocking.

Some of the Iroquois who were affected by the explosion of the bottle bomb died instantly. Some people were seriously injured and unconscious, while others did not lose consciousness, and they were still conscious.

It is a pity that it is this sobriety that has caused them to suffer untold suffering.

The power of the bottle grenade was so powerful that the Iroquois were either killed or injured by the blast, and these guys were inevitably hurt.

In particular, this grenade bomb exploded above their heads.

In an instant, the smoke cleared, and the entire battlefield was filled with the wails of the Iroquois.

And the Iroquois who were still on the offensive. The troops behind were stupefied by such a situation.

They all stopped their tracks, as if they had forgotten to continue the attack.

They all stood there stupidly, staring at their companions in front of them dumbfounded.

In particular, the heart-rending wails of their companions are even more sad to listen to in their ears.

"Shoot!"

Just as the Iroquois were stunned, the enemy attacked again.

The Iroquois who had rushed within a hundred yards were suddenly back within two hundred yards after being attacked by a bottle grenade.

You know, they can rush to within a hundred yards, what a sacrifice.

That's tens of thousands of lives.

But now it's too late to say anything, and it's a failure.

What kind of weapon did the enemy use when he fell to the ground? Why is it so powerful?

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to think about it anymore, and now their opponents attacked again.

Hey! Ooh!

In the direction of the Gurkha Corps, a neat trumpet sounded.

Then the stopped muskets began firing again.

By this time, the two sides had been engaged for half an hour, and the Iroquois side had lost more than 10,000 men.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Iroquois, and although they still maintain an advantage in numbers, no one can say that this advantage can be maintained forever.

Not to mention. The enemy also used a weapon they had never seen before, and it was extremely powerful.

Therefore, the Iroquois with high fighting spirit gradually woke up from their madness at this moment.

The enemy is just too strong. If it goes on like this, then they will definitely all be here.

Such thoughts all arose in the minds of the Iroquois.

They began to retreat.

Woohoo!

The gunfire of the Gurkha legion was even more so on the Iroquois. It adds a lot of pressure.

Run!

Thundered!

I don't know who shouted, and then the Iroquois army began to break down.

These people ran in all directions, not in one direction at all.

"Your Excellency. The enemy is scattered, east, west, north and south, in which direction do we pursue? ”

Seeing that the Iroquois were beginning to break up, the adjutant asked Sharma.

"Don't worry about the ones in the south, they are running to find death over there, and we can naturally kill them when we return to the army. To the east is the sea, and if we can't run far, we will first chase the enemy in the east, solve them, and then chase the enemy in the north counterclockwise. ”

At such a time, it is clear that the division of troops is inappropriate.

And he now has no extra forces to distribute, so he can only pick one enemy to pursue.

But this is not a big problem for Sharma and them.

The Iroquois had fought them this time, and Sharma believed that they would never have the courage to fight them again.

Therefore, if these Iroquois have a little time for Sharma, then they can be dealt with.

"Really, it looks like it's going to take some time for these Iroquois to get rid of them. How I wanted to get rid of them all at once and go to Quebec for some rest. ”

Sharma said helplessly to the adjutant beside him.

"I want to rest too, we've been out for a long time. But our mission is to destroy these Iroquois, and we won't be able to accomplish it without destroying them. ”

After listening to the adjutant's words, Sharma sighed helplessly.

What else can you do, keep the pursuit.

With the order to pursue, the Gurkha legions began to pursue the Iroquois who wanted to flee east. (To be continued.) )
