Chapter Forty-Eight: Defeat Comes Like a Mountain

PS: The second update is here! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation tickets and dream tickets!

"Ready! Put! As the small red flag in the commander's hand waved down vigorously, the 24 Thor 75mm field guns that had been waiting for a long time let out a roar!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The muzzle of the cannon was shining, accompanied by a loud sound, and the shells weighing five kilograms flew towards the target in the distance under the action of kinetic energy.

A violent explosion rang out in the ranks of the Indigenous Alliance, and countless natives were blown into the air. Five-kilogram shells, loaded with one kilogram of gunpowder. Although it is the first to do, it adopts a new production method and manufactures granular gunpowder, which effectively improves the performance of gunpowder. A kilogram of ** explosion is absolutely fatal for an indigenous person without any protection!

The prefabricated fragments of the cannonballs were scattered, harvesting the lives of the natives. Compared to a 60-mm mortar, a 75-mm field gun was much more powerful. The only pity is that the rate of fire is too low. The Flying Fish Army's Thor 75mm field gun can now only achieve a rate of fire of one shot a minute!

"Damn, those Chinese have even more powerful artillery!" Seeing that the warriors of his tribe were killed, Santos, the patriarch of the Rosa tribe, had a very ugly face. However, now that we have decided to fight with the Chinese, there is nothing else to say now, so we can only hope that the indigenous coalition will win!

"The divisions fire at maximum rate of fire! No need to save shells and bullets! Long Yufei put down the telescope in his hand and gave an order. The indigenous coalition forces were unreserved, and threw all their troops into the attack, which undoubtedly put great pressure on the Flying Fish Army. If tens of thousands of people were gathered together, there would be no end in sight. This time, the total number of troops invested by the indigenous coalition army is as high as 100,000 people, and even if the 10,000 or 20,000 people who were wiped out by the Flying Fish Army are deducted, the remaining indigenous army is as many as more than 80,000 people. For the Flying Fish Army, which has a total strength of less than 10,000, it is indeed a great test!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "Compared to the powerful 75mm field guns, the Thunderbolt 60mm mortar, which has a faster rate of fire, is undoubtedly the main weapon against the indigenous coalition forces. Although the power of the mortar is not as great as that of the field artillery, the rate of fire reaches 5 rounds per minute, which is five times that of the field artillery! Hundreds of mortars opened fire at maximum rate of fire, and the shells fired inflicted heavy casualties on the indigenous coalition forces.

The Exocet rifles in the hands of the ordinary soldiers of the Exocet Army also began to fire wildly. The soldiers were like machines, firing bullets as fast as they could, so that they could eliminate as many natives as possible. As everyone knows, the natives have already started their last efforts, and the Flying Fish Army must hold on, otherwise, all the previous efforts of the Flying Fish Army will be in vain!

"Come on! Give it to me! Break through the Chinese defenses and kill the Chinese with your bows and spears! The patriarchs of the indigenous tribes are also shouting wildly. Although there are constantly indigenous soldiers being killed, they don't care about these at all, what they care about is the result of the worst of the worst, whether the indigenous coalition can win the last, this is the most important thing!

The barbed wire fence set up by the Exocet Army played a big role. The vast majority of the indigenous people were kept out of the barbed wire. And this is the time when the soldiers of the Flying Fish Army are killing these natives in a frenzy. The remaining natives crowded in the gap between the barbed wire fences are also the focus of the Flying Fish Army's infantry and artillery, and almost every gap is already full of corpses!

At this time in the battle, whether it was the Flying Fish Army or the Indigenous Alliance, they had already fought to the extreme. For everyone, persistence is the most important thing, and whoever can persist to the bottom will be able to win. However, the Exocet Army obviously wants to take advantage. The natives are more than a hundred meters away from the soldiers of the Flying Fish Army, and with the rudimentary weapons in their hands, they cannot threaten the soldiers of the Flying Fish Army at all, and the rifles in the hands of the soldiers of the Flying Fish Army can easily kill all of these natives!

The huge casualties not only did not make the natives frightened, but instead inspired their bestial nature. Compared to civilized peoples, these uncivilized natives behaved more closely than wild beasts in many cases. The death of their companions made these natives even more fierce. However, even so, in the face of the well-equipped Exocet, the natives were almost completely in a state of passive beating!

Before the advent of machine guns, superiority in strength was still important on the battlefield. The Native Coalition was more than ten times stronger than the Exocet, even though the Exocet were prepared before the battle began. However, no one could have predicted what accidents would happen on the battlefield.

When more and more natives died outside the barbed wire, and their corpses had piled up into a thick layer, the remaining natives crossed the barbed wire with the help of the corpses of their companions, thinking of attacking the defense line of the Exoces. The short distance of more than 100 meters only takes more than 20 seconds for the natives who run fast.

At the beginning, only a small number of natives broke through the barbed wire fence and began to launch the most rearly charged defense line of the Flying Fish Army, and their fate was not to be shot by the soldiers of the Flying Fish Army on May Day. But as more and more natives cross the barbed wire, the pressure on the Exelds increases!

"Grenade! Throw! "When some of the natives approached the Exocet, some of the Exocet troops began to use grenades, indicating that the Aboriginal coalition was very close to the Exocet's defenses. Next, the Exocet will also start to suffer casualties!

"Commander, it's too threatening here, you have to go to the back!" Niu Meng, the commander of the First Brigade of the Flying Fish Army, said to Long Yufei seriously.

"No, you don't! I believe that the Indigenous Coalition has reached the end of its power, and they are about to run out of it! Long Yufei said stubbornly. Although the indigenous coalition forces have already rushed to the front of the Exoces' defenses. But the huge casualties paid before were enough to make these natives collapse. All the Flying Fish need now is to persevere, and, to give these natives the last blow!

"But your safety is more important! If you have any accidents, how can I explain to the big boss and so many people in Flying Fish City? Niu Meng persuaded him!

"I don't care! Huzi, order the reserves, launch an attack! It's up to them to defeat the natives completely! Long Yufei gave the order. This is the reserve he specially prepared for this battle, and it is also the secret weapon of the Exocet. Long Yufei believes that the appearance of the reserve will be the straw that will crush the indigenous coalition army!

"Yes, Commander!" Huzi nodded, and quickly ran to the back to deliver the order!

Two minutes later, from behind the Exoces, there was a thunderous sound.

"Dada! Dada! "A group of horsemen on tall horses appeared in everyone's sight, and these horsemen rode on horses, raised their sabers in their hands, and shone in the light of the sun!

"Kill!" The cavalry shouted slogans and quickly charged towards the indigenous coalition.

Cavalry is Long Yufei's most powerful killer weapon. When he was assigning horses to the artillery battalion of the Exocet, he had the idea of forming cavalry. Mindanao is not a place where horses are produced, and naturally there is no cavalry. Through Antonio, Long Yufei not only purchased hundreds of horses, but also purchased more than 300 war horses, and formed two cavalry companies. In this battle against the natives, these two cavalry companies were the last reserves of the Exocet.

Two cavalry companies fought their way through both flanks of the battlefield to avoid being accidentally wounded by their own guns. It was the first time for many natives to see the charge of the cavalry, and when the cavalry was charging at high speed, they only needed to gently wave the saber in their hands to easily cut off the heads of the natives.

One by one, the heads were cut off, and blood spurted out of the severed necks like fountains. Because of the speed of the war horse's charge, after many natives were cut off by their heads, the whole person still maintained the appearance of charging forward, until he ran out of the ground a few meters before falling to the ground!

There were not many cavalry in the two companies, only more than 300 people, but their appearance had an immeasurable impact on this battle. The cavalry used the speed and impact of the war horses to wantonly intersperse and kill among the indigenous troops, and the natives could not resist it at all. They were either hacked to death by the cavalry, or trampled to death directly by the war horses, and there was no enemy at all!

"Damn! Cavalry! Those Chinese actually formed cavalry! We're done, we can't beat those Chinese! "The patriarch of the Tuan tribe, Kema, had a dead face.

The faces of the other patriarchs were also quite ugly. In Mindanao, there was never a cavalry presence. Although they knew about this kind of troops, they never thought that the Flying Fish Army would have cavalry.

In the previous battles, the indigenous coalition forces were already under tremendous pressure in the face of the powerful firepower of the Exoces. A large number of native soldiers died under the guns of the Exoces, but they still struggled to hold on. Although it has reached the end of the crossbow, it does not seem to be collapsing. The appearance of the cavalry of the Flying Fish Army became the last straw that broke the camel's back. After the indigenous soldiers found that these cavalry came and went like the wind and were simply invincible, the natives collapsed!

Escape! Run as fast as you can! This became the only thought on the minds of the surviving indigenous soldiers. Instead of charging at the Exoces' lines, they turned and fled. As more and more native soldiers began to flee, the collapse of the indigenous coalition happened!

At the moment on the battlefield, there are still tens of thousands of natives. However, they no longer have the slightest fighting spirit, and everyone is scrambling to escape. The Flying Fish Army, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit. After a lot of hard fighting, it's time for them to harvest!
