Chapter 354: It turned out to be scary
In the opinion of Marshal Thomas, their British army had muskets in their hands, and it was no problem to defeat these Yan troops who fought with cold weapons.
However, Thomas searched for a long time, but could not find a landing on the coastline that he was very satisfied with.
Because, the artillery on their ship can't hit far at all, and the firing range is only five or six hundred meters.
Those coastlines that are suitable for landing. They didn't even get to shore and started running aground.
Where they ran aground, there were still five or six hundred meters from the shore! Their artillery came from here, right on the shoreline, and didn't that just reach their own people?
Of course, if it is the longest range, it can still be fired on the slopes of the coastline, but in this way, it is uncertain, and not every shell fired can reach the maximum range.
Therefore, it is possible for them to hit the enemy in artillery battles, and it is also possible to hit their own people.
However, the places where the ship could be brought too close to the shore were all stone cliffs, which were not suitable for their soldiers to land at all.
There is no way, if the artillery can't help, it can't help! The soldiers have muskets in their hands, as long as they can rush ashore, it is a one-sided massacre, and there is no need to be too afraid.
So, after breakfast, in the morning they lowered their small boats from their big boats, pulled the boats of soldiers, and approached the shoreline.
A boatload of soldiers rowed desperately, and the boat quickly approached the shore.
Marshal Thomas and several generals next to him stood on the bow of the ship with monoculars and observed.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and their soldiers were already on the shore. One by one, the soldiers disembarked from the small boats and slowly walked towards the shore in the shallow water on the beach.
The whole process, without any danger.
Boatloads of soldiers came to the shore, all gathered there, and no one rushed towards the shore at will.
They knew that there would definitely be Yan soldiers waiting for them on those hillsides on the shore. Therefore, they waited until a certain number of people dared to rush forward together.
Soon, two or three thousand British soldiers were gathered along the coastline. They lined up, carrying firearms, and marched alternately in two rows.
Their guns were very difficult to reload, so they had to shoot in two rows, one row and the other in turns.
The beach here, just over 200 meters from the shore on those small slopes. There are small hills above, and now, they can't see any Yan army.
As a result, they advanced very easily, and they knew that the Yan army's bow and arrow could not shoot two hundred meters at all.
However, when they had walked twenty or thirty meters, they suddenly saw a human head peeking out of the small hill above.
Then, something shocked them happened, and they all raised their guns one by one and aimed at them.
"Bumper Bumper ......"
The gunfire suddenly rang out, and one by one the British soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
The British warriors were a little scared, because they knew that the muskets in their hands would not shoot that far.
But the muskets in people's hands can easily kill them, which is too scary.
At this moment, Thomas and the other generals standing on the bow of the ship were shocked, they never dreamed that the Yan army would also have firearms.
"What's going on, Fake? Doesn't that mean these damn yellow-skinned monkeys can't make firebolts, otherwise what would they ask us to do?"
Thomas screamed.
A general behind him hurriedly said: "Marshal, I guess that the firearms in the hands of these Yan troops may have captured us, haven't they fought with our army for a long time? ”
Thomas nodded, then ordered:
"Chuan Ben Shuai ordered, let our people rush up for me as fast as possible, and kill all those Yan soldiers. ”
Marshal Thomas's order was quickly conveyed, and the heralds standing on the high place hurriedly waved their small flags desperately.
The British warriors who had already come ashore had no choice but to rush forward with a roar.
However, at this time, something happened that made them vomit blood.
On the slopes of the coastline, there was a roar of cannons.
Then, hundreds of Divine Dragon cannonballs flew into the sky and smashed directly at them?
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Explosions rang out on the coast, and many British soldiers were blown into the sky.
There are also many British soldiers who were directly blown into parts and flew into the sky.
"Fake, what's going on? How come these Yan soldiers still have artillery, my God, their shells still explode, my God, what kind of cannon is this? Can any of you tell me what kind of cannon this is? Why has Ben Shuai never seen it?"
Thomas screamed there again, this time not in shock, but in horror.
One of the generals behind him hurriedly said:
"Marshal, our intelligence is wrong, hurry up and let our ships open fire and cover our soldiers to retreat, or they will all die on the shore. ”
"Yes, yes, yes......"
The commander of Thomas hurriedly ordered: "Command the commander, let us open fire and cover our soldiers to retreat." The whole army retreats, the whole army retreats, hurry up and ......"
The herald standard-bearers who stood on the high place were busy, and the small flags in their hands kept waving.
Then the cannon on their ship also began to sound, rumbling against the shore.
Large fiery red iron balls smashed towards the shoreline. However, few of them could directly hit the positions of the Yan army, and most of them smashed to the coast, but they killed many British soldiers.
"I rely on ......"
At this moment, whether it was Wang Yujie or other wolf friends, they were all shocked.
It's not that they are shocked that the cannons on the ships of Great Britain are too awesome, but they don't think that these damn foreign devils are simply scaring people by engaging in these cannons.
The rumbling cannon rang out, and what came out was a big fiery red iron ball.
This is your sister's. If they had known that they were fighting this kind of thing, their ship had been a fart before, and they would have had to do it with the dragon cannon on the ship.
Wang Yujie decisively ordered: "Quick, pass on my order, let our ships come over as quickly as possible, surround all these British ships for me, bomb them all, and don't let them run away." Damn, I actually did these things to scare Lao Tzu. ”
Sky Wolf hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted inside, conveying Wang Yujie's order.
