When I translated the strange people on the other side, which were the cruel reality of the legendary 'Xuange Battalion', to General Grant and others, their reactions were all wonderful.

A second ago, it was still General Grant with a haughty and disdainful look.

The next second, his face was full of paleness and fear; No doubt, he remembered George Yilu and Charlie Yilu, the tragic end of these predecessors who met these people and wiped out their entire army outside Yangcheng.

Soon, however, General Grant's face and expression became agitated and even hysterical.

He no longer paid attention to his gentlemanly image, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and roared wildly in his mouth:

"Quick, quick, quick, go and get those damned artillery units to come as fast as they can; Set up your position and call all the shells over.

What about the Xuange camp, today is the time for their complete destruction.

Come to think of it, if we send back the news of the destruction of the 'Xuange Camp', I am afraid that it will shake the whole of Europa, and Her Majesty will award us a medal. ”

In the midst of such a roar, a colonel hurriedly turned around and prepared to climb over his war horse and urge the artillerymen to come.

It's just that the action of stepping the left foot into the saddle is also completed after three consecutive times; It shows their mood, and it's not so easy.

His Excellency Montauban and other high-ranking members of the French army had some schadenfreude and some expectation on their faces, but more solemnity, which was wonderful anyway......

At the urging of the officers with boots and horsewhips.

The artillery unit of the Yin army, with a total of 15 guns, soon arrived at the battlefield.

Under the high-pitched orders of the officers' mouths, the veterans of the Yin army who had experienced the Crimean War and had quite good experience and quality.

In a very short time, they completed the deployment and arrangement of all the cannons; There was no pause at all, and the official shelling began.

Except for the first few shells tested, they were basically missed.

After that, the shells that beckoned past were basically quite accurate, and almost all of them were shrouded in the small ring position.

Let a violent explosion rise in it.

A group of gunners of the Yin Army carried out General Grant's order to use all the shells well; They were frantically reloading and firing.

Even in the back, the men who carried the ammunition took off their military uniforms and shirts and carried the shells bare-chested.

In such a situation, the ferocious shelling lifted the soft soil of the wheat field to a high pitch, causing the stubble to burn and emit thick black smoke.

It was also at this time that some relaxed smiles appeared on the faces of General Grant and the others.

Because they simply could not imagine how there could be any living creatures after such a small circular position was subjected to such a baptism of intense and heavy artillery fire.

Anyway, no matter how powerful the people in the legendary Xuange Camp are, as long as they still belong to the category of human beings, it is impossible for them to survive.

It's just that in the face of the full confidence of these big people, I don't know why, and some of them don't agree with such a statement.

If you want to find a reason for my persistence:

That is, from beginning to end, the battle flag of the 'Xuange Battalion' was fluttering on the opposite position.

Except for a few more holes on the flag, which were punctured by flying shrapnel, magically there was no loss; The blood-red flag was fluttering all the time, like a burning fire.

And the concrete results are exactly the same as I expected in my heart.

After about 10 minutes of shelling, although the artillery shells had not been completely exhausted, the barrels were so hot that they could not continue firing because of the rapid rate of fire.

The Yin artillery stopped, and they had to cool down before they could fire.

However, at the current level of shelling, General Grant thinks that it is enough.

Because through the smoke of gunpowder, which has not yet completely dissipated, when you look towards the small circular position, you can see that there are bomb craters everywhere.

There was a ring-shaped trench, and a strange firearm with six pipes.

At this moment, all of them have completely disappeared.

It seems that the personnel of the Xuange Battalion who were originally hiding in it, as well as their strange weapons, were torn apart by the ferocious artillery fire, or buried in the ground.

Seeing such a situation, General Grant, who had once again regained his gentlemanly demeanor, turned his head to Lord Montauban and proposed:

"Your Excellency, it's better to let the infantry attack, no! I guess let them go up and clean up the battlefield.

You French army from the left, our Yin army from the center and the right, and the interesting trophies, as well as the corpses of the Xuange battalion, and the honor of defeating them, we can divide them equally. ”

"Of course you can~" His Excellency Montauban happily agreed.

Then, with a somewhat exaggerated expression and tone, he even said in his mouth: "Damn, I didn't eat lunch for these guys, and now I feel like I can eat a cow."

If I'm not mistaken, the military cook prepared some fresh chicken and beef.

I wonder if there is such an honor to invite General Grant to a belated lunch? ”

"It's a great honor that I have a nice bottle of red wine there, and I hope to give it to His Excellency Montauban." When General Grant heard this, he replied.

So, under their orders, one hundred French troops and two hundred Yin troops were sent from three directions, left, center, and right.

With the bayonet in his hand, he headed for a position where there should be no living people, and moved forward with a relaxed face.

But when the soldier who walked in front entered the position of one hundred and fifty meters; Theoretically, it was no longer possible to have a living person's position, and first there was a faint roar.

In the midst of such a roar, one figure after another unbelievably emerged from under the ground, carrying a head of mud and sand.

In their hands, they all picked up a strange rifle that could load five bullets, not to mention, the key was the strange six-tube firearm, which was carried out by two people.

There are three in total, and there are a lot of them.

Then, when the barrel of the weapon began to turn, another massacre began.

Even when he saw these people and terrifying weapons, it seemed to grow out of the soil, General Durant in the rear just ignored the image and shouted the order 'retreat~' at the top of his voice.

But at this point, it was too late.

As in the previous cavalry attack, one soldier after another was easily and quickly put to the ground under the fierce fire snake whipping in the process of retreating.

The only thing that was slightly different from the last time was that the left direction of the French attack did not know why, only five or six rifles were firing.

The rest of the firepower, including three strange weapons, all beckoned to the Yin Army.

Therefore, in this attack, only thirty or forty of the two hundred Yin troops escaped, but seventy or eighty of the 100 French troops escaped.

"Open the artillery, keep firing, blow them up~"

This was the only reaction of General Grant of the Yin Army after the attack failed; As he uttered such a sentence, he glanced deeply at Lord Montauban, his eyes full of suspicion.

In the time that followed, I should have been frightened by the huge casualties in the previous two attacks.

Except for the artillery, which constantly poured shells at that small circular position, the Yin-French coalition army never launched any direct attack.

Instead, more infantry was mobilized to surround that small position; It seems that the intention is to use such a siege method to besiege the 'Xuange Battalion' here.

After 7 p.m., it was completely dark.

In the darkness of the night, where you couldn't see your fingers, even the artillery fire stopped; The Baliqiao battlefield, which had been noisy for a day, finally quieted down.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that suddenly there was a huge sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing outside, which broke the peace.

After hurriedly running out of the tent, I learned from the mouths of the others that the people of the 'Xuange Battalion' had just broken through the encirclement on the right on their horses.

However, the three hundred cavalry of the coalition army have already chased after them, and they should be able to stay.

I'm still scoffing at this statement.

Because in front of the last Eastern knights in these legends, the cavalry of the Yin Law Alliance is not even an apprentice compared to them......

PS: I originally wanted to write from a different angle and change the taste for everyone, but I recently caught a cold, and my brain was a mess of paste, and I felt like I was writing a mess, so let's go back to normal writing tomorrow.
