Chapter 67: I can't think of a chapter name
"Bang"
The sudden gunfire alarmed people on both sides of the strait, and the noisy quarrels disappeared. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The British major looked at the big hole in his chest, and covered his chest with his hands in vain, but he didn't see the column of blood spurting out of his back.
The two sides of the strait were silent, and everyone's eyes were on the figure who slowly knelt down and lay down, and a violent storm began to brew!
"Bang Bang Bang"
Smoke rose from both sides of the strait at the same time, and it felt like the prelude to the goblins in the Journey to the West that I watched when I was a child. Countless lead bullets mingled in the air in the smoke, and you came and went. Those who were hit were all unlucky, because the smoke cut off the shooter's vision, and everyone was blind.
Our position is on the side, the rain of bullets basically does not come to us, the team members seized the opportunity to practice using the flintlock pistol, I lent the gun to Mao Qiang, so that he can also familiarize himself, after this battle, he will definitely be able to pick up one.
Thinking of the controversy about the first shot of Lexington in the previous historical materials, I want to laugh a little, now I don't have to guess, it was my brother!
The biggest difference between the militia and the regular army is the ability to withstand casualties, and within half an hour of the exchange of fire, people began to sneak around in the militia.
The weakening gunfire on the opposite bank boosted the morale of the British troops, and they began to march across the stone bridge. The smoke gradually cleared, and the militia retreated as the dense British battle formations began to advance and retreat.
"The Yankees are too cowardly, aren't they?"
Looking at the militia that disappeared in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yitao was dumbfounded.
"They weren't Americans, in fact, most of their ancestors were refugees, criminals, bankrupts from Britain and other European countries."
Mao Qiang came over with a flintlock pistol and educated us as dirt buns.
"As far as you know, PhD students are amazing!"
I snatched my rifle back and slapped him on the head, the kid always thought that all of us were illiterate except him.
I saw that the British had advanced to the middle of the bridge, raised my gun and aimed it at an unlucky guy in the front row, and fired it.
"Bang"
The soldier next to the unlucky guy fell in response, this shot really hit randomly.
"Brother You, your marksmanship is simply amazing! I've just hit for half a day and missed one! ”
Mao Qiang looked at me with admiration, I lowered my head slightly, and my face was a little hot.
"They're there!"
The British soldiers spotted us, and a junior officer in the front row whistled and waved a small red flag pointed at us.
"Get down!"
I pressed Mao Qiang to the ground, and the bullets rained down on the stone fence by the river.
I slowly came out to observe, and the British soldiers in the front row turned around after shooting, and the soldiers in the back walked out with their loaded rifles raised.
"Get out of here!"
"Bang Bang"
We bowed our heads and prostrated away from the riverbank, lead bullets flying over our heads.
Having lost the block, the British cheered into Concord, and the big picture seemed to be decided.
The wolf-like Red Shirts were led by the officers to search for the minds of the militia troops, and the officers all had a note in their hands with their names densely written, and the British soldiers kicked open the doors of the houses one by one. One by one, the "criminals" with their hands tied behind were concentrated in the square by the British troops.
"According to the King's orders, the rebellion in the colonies is illegal and rebellious, and I will exercise the mission entrusted to me by the King and the Constitution to declare you to death!"
After a simple trial, the fate of the "criminals" was thus decided.
The gallows in the square had long since been dismantled, the "criminals" stood facing the wall, and the redshirts stood with their rifles raised.
We hid on the roof of the church, and the people below us had no ability or obligation to save them.
"I'll go, your colleague was served by Lian Pot!"
I pulled Mao Qiang to the edge of the roof and pointed to the four people who were tied up and struggling. Mao Qiang was afraid of heights, his eyes were closed as soon as he got on the roof, and his legs trembled.
"I said, open your eyes and take a look, maybe it's the last one" Jiang Yitao stretched Mao Qiang's eyes open with two fingers, making Mao Qiang snort in fright. I hurriedly covered Mao Qiang's mouth, it was still too late.
The Redshirts below looked up at us, their loaded rifles aimed at us.
"Hehe, you go on, just as if we don't exist."
I waved my hand and slowly crawled back, and the four newcomers below saw us and shouted excitedly.
"Help us"
"They're going to kill us, help"
“.........”
"Fire!"
The wooden planks and glass of the church crackled open, the roof could no longer be used for people, and the windows entered the attic, and the people below were buzzing, and the British army had entered the church.
"Bang"
We shot a few of the British soldiers who were coming up in a row, and then put their bayonets into their guns and prepared for hand-to-hand combat, but the staircase in the attic at the top of the church was so narrow that the British could not take advantage of their numerical superiority, and we stabbed one to death when they came up.
"Do you think they are stupid, they don't know how to set fires, but they can be sent to death"
As soon as the chicken finished speaking, we smelled the carbon monoxide emitted by the wood that was not completely burned, and we choked and coughed.
"Ahem, you crow's mouth!"
We poured out the water from the kettle and wet the chicken's clothes, then tore it into strips of rags and put them on their noses.
"Why my clothes?" The chicken was shivering with cold and resentful.
"What's the matter, maybe the people below just listened to your advice"
Jiang Yitao patted him on the head and slapped his towering hairstyle down before stopping.
"If you have time to ink, you might as well think of a way, ahem, we'll die if we go on like this"
Wang Li grabbed my arm and didn't let go.
"There's no way, you can only break in! I'll take the lead, and the battle team will follow! ”
I threw down my rifle, picked up Mao Qiang's saber and rushed down, and the British troops below were in full formation, and when they saw me coming forward, they opened fire, breaking the planks of the staircase to pieces. I didn't plan to walk down the hallway, so I jumped right down the guardrail.
When he landed, he rolled to remove his strength, and at the same time rolled into the dense crowd, and the saber in his hand was waved impenetrable!
With severed arms and legs flying everywhere and blood flowing freely on the floor, the church is expected to be visited again, and the stench of the blood-soaked floor will not disappear for several years.
The rifles of the British army, which were more than one meter long, became a burden in the dense crowd and were restricted everywhere.
British soldiers can shoot at the enemy without blinking, but they can't face the brutal cold weapon combat. After killing all the players in the attic, the British army collapsed.
"Devil! They are the devil! ”
"I'm going home!"
A British soldier with a broken arm was the first to run out of the church, and the soldiers behind were chased out like ducks.
"Don't chase, it's dangerous outside, extinguish the fire first, pay attention to hide well!"
Liu Yang, who was covered in blood, wanted to chase out of the gate, but I grabbed and pulled him into the church, and just after entering, the dense rain of bullets smashed the gate, and the British troops left behind outside lined up, and the dense firepower was comparable to machine guns!
The unbridled British showed their prestige, striking us with three shots, and when bullet holes began to appear in the walls of the church, there were fewer and fewer places for us to hide.
