Chapter 629: Britain vs. France (2)

"What? There is no grain and grass, there is grain and grass when we fight with the Dutch, and there is no food and grass when we come, are you kidding me? ”

Anderson was very angry, if it weren't for the large number of British Household Cavalry Corps, the French Guard Corps did not have enough weapons and ammunition.

He had already burst through the Ming army in Huizhou City.

Ling Jingyang shrugged his shoulders with him, and told him with a smile that there was grain and grass, but it was all sent to Boluo County, so it was better to give the British another return to the British tonight while the British were not firmly established.

Back to the carbine?

"Your Mingren's words are really strange, I think it's better for you to take the lead tonight, our army is behind, your army can't beat our army to cover your retreat to the city, do you think it's good?"

Anderson was very angry, the wall of Huizhou was obviously so high and thick, it could completely resist the attack of the British cavalry, although he had five heavy machine guns, and in the face of the collective charge of thousands of British cavalry, he was not sure that he could resist it.

Therefore, he still thinks that holding on to Huizhou City for several days will frustrate the spirit of the British, and he is leading the French army to launch a general attack on the British.

Jin Sheng didn't get involved in the argument between the two, and he continued to look at the British military camp outside the city.

"Don't make any noise, there's someone coming from the British barracks."

The crowd followed his gaze, and they didn't know where to find an interpreter.

rode to the city wall and shouted to the Ming soldiers in the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't let go of the arrows, on behalf of the British Empire, I will negotiate with you lords whether Huizhou City can be ceded to the British Empire, as long as you cede Huizhou City to the British Empire, Prince Henry can guarantee your safe departure."

The soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall, staring at each other with big eyes, where did this mountain artillery come from?

Before they started to attack the city, they asked to cede Huizhou City to Yinglun. Anderson listened with pleasure, because in order to confuse the British, Anderson was the only Frenchman on the entire wall.

The French soldiers were fighting in the city, and Anderson lay on his stomach so as not to be seen by the British, but he said to Ling Jing: "Are you so small in the eyes of the British?" ”

Ling Jingyang had an urge to throw Anderson down and make Anderson a prisoner of the British.

He and Jin Sheng glanced at each other, Jin Sheng was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he saw cruelty in Ling Jingyang's eyes.

Ling Jingyang also looked at the French army in the city, divided into several phalanxes, and defended in the east, north and west of the city.

The Ming army was also defending in these three places, and at this time launched an attack on the French army, which was very likely to eat France, but it was more likely that both sides would be defeated, allowing the British to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Ling Jingyang still resisted the urge to throw Anderson down.

"If your country is brave, go out of the city and fight in the English field."

Anderson turned his head and pretended not to look at Ling Jingyang, who only then yelled at the interpreter.

"Ergouzi, where are you from?"

This translator is a pirate who drifts around the sea all the year round, and was sunk by the British fleet during a robbery, and became a prisoner of the British, because he knew some British language, and the British navy did not kill him, so he became a translator, and the translator followed the British as a dog.

Translator and Ling Jingyang said: "This

Generals, British artillery, and rifles, you should have seen it, you can't hold Huizhou City with such a few people, don't think we don't know, you were beaten by the Dutch with a grandson, if it weren't for the arrival of the British Royal Cavalry Regiment and drove away the Dutch, you would have been killed by the Dutch a long time ago, I advise this general to follow the British, right? ”

Listening to this person's nonsense, Jin Sheng was so angry that his beard straightened.

He scolded the translator angrily, you are also with the blood of the Ming people, how can you sell yourself to thieves? Hurry back and talk to the British, it's a mule, it's a horse, pull it out for a walk, the old man is in this Huizhou city, and the British are fighting.

The translator slumped back and reported back to Henry.

When Henry heard this, he was furious, and ordered several generals to go to the nearby villages to see if there were any Ming people?

If there is, he will drive the Ming people in front and let them consume the bows and arrows of the Ming army, and the painter's cavalry regiment will shoot with rifles in the back, and he will not be able to defeat Huizhou City if he does not believe it.

Several of the generals of the Household Cavalry Regiment thought Henry's practice was very shameful, but it seemed that there were only a few hundred British infantry left behind by Edmond and a few infantry from the Cavalry Regiment.

There were no other combat troops for the siege, and the five generals each ran around Huizhou City with 200 cavalry.

After searching for a night, dozens of people with bad legs and feet were licensed, and Henry was so angry that he only cursed

But there was an army, which continued to advance in the northeast direction, and found that the direction of Boluo County was brightly lit, and when it got closer, it was even more crowded, and it seemed that there were many Ming people in the city.

This group of British cavalry, armed with the most advanced rifles, launched an attack on the county town of Boluo with only 200 men.

The scouts of the Ming army outside the city saw that there was an unknown cavalry net on display, and immediately rushed back to the city to report to Zhao Tu.

Zhao Tu followed Ling Jingyang during the day, and only returned to Boluo County in the evening, tired and sore, his right battalion soldiers lost some soldiers and horses after several battles, and there were not many soldiers and horses left, but they were tempered by the war, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.

When he learned that a cavalry unit was rushing towards Boluo County, he ordered the city gate to be closed, and the residents in the city prohibited the noise, and asked his powerful subordinates to rush to Huizhou City to report to Ling Jingyang.

He led his troops to garrison on the city wall, and two hundred British cavalry killed under the city, seeing that the city gate was closed, he held a rifle and shot at the city wall, and as soon as the gun rang out, Zhao Tu immediately realized that this group of cavalry was either British or Dutch.

I also remembered that the remnants of the Dutch army retreated to Wuhua County, it is very likely that this group of people is the British cavalry, he and his subordinates ordered not to show their heads, this group of cavalry did not bring siege equipment, let them consume weapons and ammunition outside the city, and those who dared to climb up would be beaten back.

The soldiers of the right battalion, the Dutch, had fought and had long been accustomed to this kind of army with rifles, and under the leadership of Zhao Tu, everyone was leisurely in the city.

Anyway, the British cavalry outside the city did not have ladders, battering rams and other weapons, so they could only shout outside the city.

Just when everyone was at ease, dozens of grenades suddenly flew up from under the city wall, and these grenades bombarded the city wall violently.

Zhao Tu was terrified, not only did the grenades explode on the city wall, but more grenades fell into the city, killing many people.

The people in the city were so frightened that they screamed and scurried around the city, and suddenly there was a great disorder.

Zhao Tu was so angry in his heart, why didn't he expect the British to use grenades?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He regretted that he did not resist the British in the range of the bow and arrow, the British saw that the grenade attack was very effective, and continued to throw mines and grenades on the city wall, they did not bring many grenades, after throwing grenades, hundreds of dead and wounded to the Ming soldiers and civilians in the city, but they were still helpless in the face of the city wall.

This group of cavalry withdrew to the headquarters in the second half of the night, and reported to Henry that there were a large number of Ming people in Boluo County, Henry's eyes were bright, this was a mouthful of sweetness, and he ordered the troops to abandon Huizhou City, and the whole army advanced towards Boluo County.

The Royal Cavalry Regiment gave up spending the night under the city of Huizhou, packed their weapons and ammunition, and prepared to march to Boluo County.

Zhao Tu's subordinates rushed to Huizhou City in the second half of the night to ask Ling Jingyang for help, but when they arrived in Huizhou City, they found that it was surrounded by British cavalry.

They charged the city several times, but they were all knocked to the ground by the British with rifles, there was really no way, this group of cavalry of the right battalion mustered up the courage and charged towards Huizhou City.

On the way to the charge, he shouted: "Boluo is in danger, save Bolo." ”

The sound was very loud, and the Ming soldiers and civilians in the city heard it, but the sound did not last long, and this group of loyal Ming soldiers were all killed by the British cavalry.

Ling Jingyang and Jin Sheng also heard the news, Ling Jingyang immediately found Anderson, and said to Anderson: "The British may attack Boluo County, Boluo County has a large amount of grain and grass for our army, as well as civilians and weapons and ammunition, and the British captured Boluo County, and we are waiting to be starved to death by the British." ”

Anderson also knew that the matter was urgent, and spoke to Ling Jingyang.

"And what do you want?"

"The British will not give up this opportunity, now that the sky is almost dawn, the British are all cavalry, and they will soon launch an attack on Boluo County, why don't we attack now, what do you think?"

Ling Jingyang understood the importance of Boluo County very well, and he decided to fight to the death, leading the entire city to launch an attack tonight, and dragging the British cavalry to death.

Anderson was very dissatisfied with Ling Jingyang's putting grain and grass in Boluo County. "Speaking of which, you still want the army to attack, do you want us to take the lead?"

"If you don't take the lead this time, you won't have a big chance to take the lead in the future, and your heavy weapons will also become the spoils of the British, tonight I will lead the army to attack the British army from the west gate, and you will lead the army to attack the British army from the north gate, and destroy the British army after dawn."

Anderson frowned, his chest rising and falling, he was disgusted by this general named Ling Jingyang Mingjun. I also dislike Jin Sheng, the old fox of officialdom.

But he hated the British even more, and finally he agreed to Ling Jingyang, but he changed the direction of the attack, the French army attacked from the west gate, and Ling Jingyang led the army to attack from the north gate, and met at the county town of Boluo after dawn.

Ling Jingyang told him not to meet in Boluo County, and to beat the British severely tonight until they were wiped out, even if they could not be eliminated, they would be torn apart, so that there could be no formed troops.

Anderson had a Maxim machine gun, but he was still afraid of cavalry charges, and he said to Ling Jingyang: "Do you know how strong the impact of the British cavalry is? ”

Ling Jingyang didn't want to waste time, and quickly popped out the advantages and disadvantages of the Maxim machine gun.

"No matter how strong the British cavalry is, it is not as strong as the Makqin machine gun, Lao Tzu has seen the Makqin machine gun, your Makqin machine gun is water-cooled, the barrel is hot, and it must be cooled down with cold water, and there is a main shooter and a secondary shooter, isn't it?"
