Chapter 77: Can We Win Four?
With a sword, Galen picked the bayonet of the Briton at the front, and kicked the British soldier in the chest of the empty door, and then, with a sweep, slashed the Briton who followed immediately with the bayonet!
At this moment, a bayonet burst from Galen's side, and Galen had to let go of his hands holding the giant sword in order to save his life, and his whole body fell backwards, avoiding this thrust. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Taking advantage of the fact that the Briton had no focus, the bayonet was confiscated, and Galen, who was sitting on the ground, punched the Briton in front of him, and the unstable center of gravity stepped down the vital point!
The Briton immediately clamped his legs and fell to the ground with a pair of cross-eyed eyes......
It's a pity that the British soldiers in the back are not vegetarians, and the two bayonets stabbed at Galen, who didn't get up and lost his weapon, one after the other!
Galen knew that he was going to die this time, but he calmed down, he bought so much time, Jiawen and Zhao Xin should be able to escape and ascend to heaven, hey, this world is always fighting, when is it a head......
Just as Galen was about to close his eyes, a spear pierced into the chest of the Briton who was about to stab the bayonet into Galen's body, and Galen watched the Briton fall in front of his eyes vomiting blood!
Galen, who was saved, picked up the British's bayonet flintlock pistol, and stood up with a loud roar, and finally the British line infantryman, looking at Gavin and Galen in horror, actually escaped!
Galen and Gawen stabbed the Britons who fell to the ground one by one, took 4 flintlock pistols, and rushed to Zhao Xin's side, Galen said as he walked: "Gawen, I didn't see it, the marksmanship is on par with Zhao Xin, what?" Did you have an epiphany on the battlefield? ”
"Hehe, there are too many people to kill, the natural level has improved, this battlefield of pit people, as long as we can survive, we can all become martial arts masters!"
"Haha, okay, the three of us brothers will live until the day we become martial arts masters!"
In the laughter of surviving, the three of them retreated to the group of soldiers who retreated, and followed the flow of people to the third line of defense set up by Guan Yu, which was also the last line of defense of the Han Empire's army!
It's not that Guan Yu doesn't want to set up more defensive lines, but his troops are already insufficient......
If he wants to block the nearly 20,000 completely firearms of the British army, even if there are fortifications, Guan Yu has to deploy a large number of troops to resist, and it turns out that even if there are more troops than the enemy, he still can't stop it......
Guan Yu, who was defeated in the first battle, has clearly seen the essence of firearms warfare, in the face of firearms army, no matter what formation, no matter courage, the role has been greatly weakened, only in the shortest possible time, the output of firepower is the king!
Admiral Gordo defeated the main force of the Han Empire in a battle, pursued and killed ten miles, and the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the number of people who fled back to the third line of defense was less than 10,000 people......
With the addition of the original 10,000 soldiers of the third line of defense, the total strength of the entire defense line is only 20,000......
The difference in numbers with the British army on the other side is really not big......
Guan Yu had lost confidence in defeating the British army......
The only thing that could delay the advance of the British army was probably the time it took to transport logistical ammunition......
Although the British army was victorious in this battle, the consumption of ammunition was still very large, especially the shells, which were extremely consumed in the previous bombardment of smashing the fortifications!
Without a few days of replenishment, the British Legion will not attack again!
Without the gaps in the artillery, the British infantry will attack and pay several times the casualties!
In the third line of defense, Zhao Xin bandaged the wound on his leg, this time he was lucky, the lead bullet did not hit the bone, and went straight through the flesh, so it was only a minor injury, far from the point of amputation.
Galen's team, now there are only 3 of them left, and the superiors have no intention of replenishing the soldiers to this team, in fact, Galen has been looking for a long time and has not found his original company leader, I'm afraid he has ......
The soldiers who retreated were simply regrouped, and Galen's group was assigned to several other remnants of the broken up formation, and Galen, as the squad leader, was honored to become the team leader......
Most of the soldiers who fled from the rout discarded their weapons, and those like Galen who came back with 4 flintlock pistols can be treated as heroes!
Even Guan Yu knows about the 3 heroes under his command!
If it weren't for the wartime now, I'm afraid that the three Galen would have been promoted and raised a salary long ago!
It's a pity that in this situation shrouded in the cloud of failure, Guan Yu didn't have the heart to promote any rising star at all......
However, the 3 Galen people are not without rewards, these 3 people and the remnants of the additional soldiers were assigned to a position close to the command headquarters, and they became Guan Yu's guards with honor, and the captured flintlock pistols were not recovered!
Zhao Xin couldn't put down this flintlock pistol that was not lit by an arquebus, and even hugged it when he slept......
When night fell, Zhao Xin held the flintlock pistol, lay on the hay-paved floor, looked at the stars in the sky, and asked, "You say, will those Britons really snatch our wives and kill all our men as those officers say?" ”
Galen shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that the emperor of the Han Empire gave us gold coins, gave us food, and trained us how to be a soldier, and we should fight for it, which is like taking the benefits of others, naturally we have to do the right thing, hehe." ”
"Hehe, Brother Lun, every time you say something makes me feel stupid, but it is always so reasonable that I can't refute it."
Zhao Xin sighed, agreeing with Galen's point of view.
Jiawen bit the dog's tail grass and said disdainfully: "Zhao Xin, you don't have to worry about the Britons snatching your wife, because you can't marry a wife in your life, and the most suitable thing for you to do is to go to Guigong to sell chrysanthemums, haha." ”
"Your Jiawen, do you have a wife? An older bachelor is still with me ~ Ba, do you know what it means to laugh at fifty steps and laugh at one hundred steps? ”
Galen saw that the two of them were arguing again, and hurriedly said as a peacemaker: "Alas, alas, what are you two arguing about......"
Zhao Xin and Jiawen shouted to Galen at the same time: "Shut up, you don't have a wife, you are not qualified to speak!" ”
When Galen heard this, he was depressed, and what they said was the truth......
Coming to this world is either to be a soldier or to fight, how can you have time to marry a daughter-in-law, and if you have a need, you will go to the kiln to release your passion, besides, the three of them are precarious, and they can't hurt other girls to be widowed, right?
In the quarrel between Zhao Xin and Jiawen, Galen fell into thinking about the future of his life...... (To be continued.) )
