Chapter 84: Stepping into the World Stage III
Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Mondola is a soldier of the American Field Army, who, after watching 4 days of artillery bombardment, finally received the order to attack!
As a veteran who had participated in the siege and annihilation of the Spanish crusade, Mondora was full of confidence in this attack!
The elites of those chaser units were so powerful that they turned those Spaniards into shrunken turtles one by one!
The most important thing is that he knows that they don't have to climb the troublesome ladder this time, because the city wall has collapsed under the bombardment for many days, and the city gate is long gone!
It seems like it's only a matter of time before the city is broken!
However, what Mondora didn't know was that Garcia had already set up a number of barricades and bunkers in the city, and every house had been used to attack the city, which was no longer a sign of victory in this day and age!
The Spaniards were confronted by a barbaric Indian army, and in the general belief that the Spanish soldiers were very resistant to surrendering to the Indians for fear of being scalped by the barbaric and unreasonable Indian soldiers!
They didn't know that the Han Empire had long since banned this barbaric method and forcibly indoctrinated the soldiers of the army!
After all, in this era when communication is basically based on words, the spread of information is too slow, let alone the transmission of information between two hostile forces!
Even if someone says it, someone has to believe it, right?
Who wants to put their lives on those rumors?
For example, most Spaniards do not know until today that most of the Indian army already had muskets, and there were also large-caliber cannons that even the Spanish army did not have!
That siege cannon is almost as powerful as a naval gun!
Under the cover of the muskets of the hunters, Mondola followed the countless comrades in front of him, barely maintained a dense line, and rushed towards the city gate!
This part of Mondora is responsible for the attack on the city gate, which is relatively lucky, after all, the road of the city gate is much stronger than the gaps in the city wall that have been blown down!
"Rush! Long live the Han Empire, long live freedom! ”
Listening to the shouts of the surrounding crowd, Mondora pursed his lips disdainfully, he had been in the American Field Army for a long time, and he was naturally more impressed by the system of the Han Empire.
He had seen with his own eyes that two Indian soldiers, because they were eating in public, complained loudly that the Han Guards were a group of princes, and the next day they were pulled out by the gendarmerie, locked up in a small black room for several days, and were also recorded as a major demerit, and the most cruel thing was that the two soldiers were placed in the first row in that battle against the Spanish crusade!
After the war, Mondola also made a special trip to look for these two people, and finally saw only two corpses that had been honeycombed by lead bullets......
However, this siege should be easy, those Spaniards are no longer good!
Just as Mondola was rushing forward with the crowd, a dense volley of muskets suddenly sounded in front of him, and he knew that the exchange of fire had begun ahead!
"Quick, keep up, get your bayonets and cold weapons ready, you'll probably need hand-to-hand combat in a while!"
After hearing the shouts of the commander of his company, Mondola licked his slightly dry lips, not like the recruit next to him, holding a flintlock pistol in one hand and a machete in the other, he knew very well that if he did this, he would not be able to shoot at all when he was in a hurry, so it was better to hold the flintlock pistol alone, anyway, there were so many people around, at that time, after firing the gun, throw it on the ground, and then pull out the knife and hurry!
Yes, Mondora, like most Indian soldiers, was not very accustomed to bayonets and carried a cold weapon with him!
Mondora's cold weapon is a battle axe!
The muskets became more and more numerous, and when they reached the apex, they suddenly became scarce and replaced by shouts of killing, and Mondola knew that it was the troops in front that had rushed into the city gates!
It didn't take long for Mondola to enter the ruined city gates, and on sandbags and sundries, Spaniards in yellow uniforms and American field troops in black uniforms were lying down everywhere!
In order to seize the front in the city, Zhao Dutian used the American Field Army in the first wave, which was already doomed to become cannon fodder anyway, and Zhao Dutian was not afraid of losses!
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was busy charging, Mondora lowered his head and groped around on a decent-looking Spaniard corpse, and Mondora, who had fought with the Spaniards, could see at a glance that this dead body was a Spanish captain officer!
That's a big deal!
Sure enough, the Spanish officers in the colonial city were wealthy, and Mondola immediately found a pocket watch with exquisite workmanship, which was a rarity in the Han Empire!
Zhao Dutian, who pays attention to military production, does not pay much attention to this kind of pocket watch that has little military significance, and does not produce much, only a small amount is used for officers to time!
Mondola kissed her cousin with joy on her face, just such a rare thing, traded privately in the Han Empire, and exchanged for a golden Zhao Datou, more than enough!
Mondola quickly stuffed the pocket watch into her pocket with her hands and feet, subconsciously looked around, and continued to run forward with the flow of people!
In fact, Mondora just paused at a corpse and quickly bent down to take out his pocket watch, and the whole process only took a few minutes, so it did not attract the reprimand of the officers, and those soldiers who were also Indians were not surprised by this situation, no one would report it at such a time!
Besides, those of them who are soldiers, who fights without carrying some booty and private goods?
As long as you don't delay the battle, even the officers rarely care about these things, which is why Mondola stopped searching after touching a pocket watch, and it was okay to stop for a minute or two, if you searched for corpses everywhere at this moment of attack, just wait for the officers to hang up!
Since entering the city, the sound of muskets has not stopped, and Mondora has long been accustomed to this environment, and even thinks that it is much better to keep running with the crowd like this than to charge on the battlefield with artillery and muskets!
At least, Mondora hadn't met a single enemy until now!
At that moment, Mondora passed through a Gothic two-story building, and several windows on it that had been closed suddenly opened, and no less than 10 muskets stretched out!
