In Tainan, off the coast of Kaohsiung, a broken wooden plank floats on the sea. Two days ago, the navy of the Eight-Nation Coalition escorted a landing force and secretly landed here, but was discovered by Zheng Zhilong's army, and Zheng Jun did not have time to inform Li Huamei, so he fought a fierce naval battle with the Eight-Nation Alliance here.

The final result was that Zheng Zhilong's army was defeated...... Because the Eight-Nation Coalition had the backing of the Industrial Revolution and their navy was numerically superior, Zheng Zhilong's navy, although it fought valiantly, was ultimately unable to prevent the enemy from landing in Kaohsiung.

6,000 firearms units of the Eight-Nation Coalition landed on land smoothly and then began to push northward in a state of decay.

A day later, the city of Tainan fell.

Another day later, the Eight-Nation Coalition came to the Taichung area......

The general in charge of commanding this 6,000-strong firearms unit, named Napoleon Bonaparte, was the emperor of France, a genius commander, she had an unparalleled talent for commanding artillery and musketeers, and was a veritable first commander in Europe, so the first land battle of the Eight-Nation Coalition was handed over to this military genius to be in charge of command.

At this moment, this genius commander is standing on the plains of Taichung, although she is the number one firearms commander in Europe, she is not very old, she is only thirteen years old this year, and she can only be called Lori, wearing a pair of snow-white military pants, a pair of black leather boots under her feet, and a dark blue military uniform on her upper body. Lori's figure is not tall, and she is even shorter than ordinary Lori, with short maroon hair, which looks very energetic.

Opposite Napoleon's 6,000 coalition army was Zheng Zhilong's army of 20,000 pirates.

Little Lori Napoleon brandished a command knife and snorted coldly at the opposing pirate army: "Break through this army from the center in a while." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!" replied by her adjutant. Jean-Andoché Juno, known as Juno the Storm. Storm Juno is a beautiful woman with full silver hair, and her tall figure wears a military uniform exactly like Napoleon's, showing the demeanor of a royal sister, which is in stark contrast to Napoleon the little Lori.

"Oh, Juno!" said Napoleon, in a low voice, "I'm still pretty good at commanding smoothbore spearmen, and I'm a little out of command of the new riflemen." ”

Juno spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't worry, this rabble will not be able to defeat us, just let us get familiar with the command of the riflemen." ”

With the sound of war drums and military horns, the fierce battle on the Taichung Plain began......

Zheng Zhilongjun received a large number of rifles and cannons from Yi Yun. Their equipment wasn't too bad, and they had hired thousands of musketeers from Fuso, so they suffered only a slight loss in terms of profession. At the beginning of the battle, Zheng Zhilong's army achieved considerable results with a numerical advantage, and a large number of riflemen were protected by hand-to-hand combat occupations. Heavy fire from both flanks inflicted considerable casualties on the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Little Lori Napoleon snorted coldly, a dark golden light lit up on her body, and the four big words "Gun Commander" flew above her head, and the fifth-order domination class "Gun Commander" can make the hit rate of all soldiers under her command use guns and cannons increase exponentially.

The dark golden light enveloped the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the morale of the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army was immediately boosted. A fierce return fire began, with bullets and shells fired between the two armies......

"Cannon, fire!"

Cannon hits of the Eight-Nation Alliance. With the help of Napoleon's skills, it became surprisingly accurate, and every shell could accurately hit the most densely populated place in Zheng Zhilong's army, bringing huge casualties to Zheng Zhilong's army, and the key is that the loss of morale was also huge.

And when the cannon of Zheng Zhilong's army returned fire. However, it is not possible to achieve such good results, and it will always deviate from the target location by several meters. After a fierce confrontation, the two sides lay down with corpses all over the ground, but even a fool could see it. The losses of Zheng Zhilong's army were greater than those of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the collapse of the formation was even more serious.

"Juno, it's time for you to go into battle!" Napoleon ordered.

Storm Juno saluted her, her long silver-white hair fluttering in the wind, and she turned and stepped onto a European pure-blood camel, a cavalry force of five hundred men following behind her.

"Let the enemy see, Storm Juno's assault!" Juno ordered loudly.

Five hundred cavalrymen roared together.

The cavalry of five hundred men then circled to the flank of the battlefield, and after a round of artillery bombardment commanded by Napoleon, Juno the Storm took the lead in rushing out, and the five hundred cavalry rushed out together. They showed their profession, and the five hundred people were all third-order "dragoons".

The five hundred horsemen first fired a volley on horseback, putting down a large number of soldiers of Zheng Zhilong's army, and then raised their bayonets and rushed into Zheng Zhilong's rifle formation, the sword light lit up, cutting down countless soldiers.

Although the appearance of rifle has basically eliminated the cavalry, as long as it is used properly, the cavalry can still play some role. In fact, there were still cavalry units active until World War II, and this is the reason.

Zheng Zhihu was furious and led a hand-to-hand combat unit to meet him, but he was shot in the waist by Storm Juno with his raised hand, and desperately rescued him left and right.

Napoleon took advantage of the storm Juno to break up the formation of Zheng Zhilong's army, and ordered the rifle to charge, and more than 5,000 troops of the Eight-Nation Coalition rushed forward while firing, and the soldiers of both armies suffered great losses. However, under the influence of Napoleon's "gun commander" skill, the Eight-Nation Alliance, which had a higher hit rate, took advantage of it, and in the gun battles of exchanging lives for lives, it was often possible to exchange one life for three or four lives, Zheng Zhilong finally failed to win, the battle line collapsed, and the pirate soldiers finally turned around and fled, leaving behind five or six thousand corpses.

Napoleon counted the losses, and the losses of the Eight-Nation Coalition in this battle were as high as 1,500 people, which was really not small.

When both sides are used to re-fire each other, the lives of soldiers are so worthless......

Xiao Lori snorted coldly and said: "Zheng Zhilong's army relied on the thousands of firecrackers hired from Fusang, in this battle, our army has basically killed all these firecrackers, and the rest are hand-to-hand soldiers from Zheng Zhilong's headquarters, what is there? ”

The Eight-Nation Alliance hurriedly stepped forward, and after walking for more than ten miles, someone suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Zheng Zhilong's reinforcements are coming from the sea, it should be the army of the Lord of Shanghai who came from the Shanghai Oasis, our navy is preventing the enemy from landing, please advance north as soon as possible." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Lori's face remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "The navies of our eight countries are no worse than each other, and I think their reinforcements will not be able to land." ”

"This ......" The herald's face was a little ugly: "The enemy army has a very terrifying big iron ship...... Cough...... The navy has already been locked in a bitter battle, which is why the naval officers have called me to inform you that you should march as soon as possible, and that the victory or defeat will be decided by land, and even if the other side lands, it will be too late. ”

"What? our navy is in a bitter battle?" said Napoleon, who could not believe his ears.

The herald said bitterly: "In short, please speed up the occupation of Taiwan...... Navy...... I can't hold it anymore......"

"Got it, I'll speed it up. Napoleon hurriedly ordered the whole army: "The whole army will accelerate its advance to the north and take Taipei City as quickly as possible." ”

Under Napoleon's order, the remaining 4,500 soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance desperately advanced northward, and after a long time, they finally saw Taipei City in the distance in front of them, and the soldiers were in good spirits.

At this time, Storm Juno suddenly pointed to the sea to the north and shouted: "Look, the naval battle continues......"

Little Lori turned her head to look at the sea, only to see that there was indeed a fierce battle on the sea, dozens of the most advanced galleons in Western Europe, besieging a big black iron ship, the big iron ship was hung with the golden dragon flag of the royal family of the Great Meng Kingdom, which was obviously the reinforcements sent by the prince of Shanghai. The ship was enormous, many times larger than the largest warship in Europe. It's made entirely of iron, and I don't know how it moves.

The black iron ship was equipped with an incomparably terrifying cannon, the muzzle of which was at least five or six times thicker than that of the Europeans, and every time the cannon was fired, it would let out a roar like a landslide and a crack, and the European warship hit by this terrifying cannon would sink to the bottom of the sea in an instant.

There are also ten secondary guns on the big iron ship, although the secondary guns are twice as thick as the European cannons, and the most terrifying thing is that this kind of secondary guns can actually fire continuously, and it keeps spitting out anger, turning the European warships next to it into flames one after another.

But the European artillery hit the top of the black iron ship, and the shells would only be bounced back, and they could not penetrate armor at all. Several warships approached, trying to jump in hand-to-hand combat and capture the opponent's large iron ship, but the opponent also had a strange burst of fire, spitting out bullets that were so dense that they couldn't see clearly, tearing the navy soldiers who tried to jump past to shreds.

"The Navy really can't hold on. Napoleon was taken aback: "The army must hurry." ”

At this time, under the cover of the barrage of the big iron ship, an iron transport ship of the Great Meng Country finally came to the shore, this kind of transport ship has a big belly, its belly is stranded on the beach, and then a door is cut on it, and there is something like a bridge that stretches from the belly of the transport ship to the beach.

Then Napoleon saw a strange cart coming out of the belly of the transport, like an iron box, made of iron from beginning to end, and it was not the tires that supported its movement, but a strange kind of tracks. On the head of the cart was a repeating fire bolt similar to that found on a large iron ship. Directly in front of the cart is a long tube sticking out, which looks like ...... It seems to be a cannon barrel.

Napoleon wondered, "What is this?" (To be continued.) )
