The first thousand and 260 chapters of the field before attacking the fortress

When Li Ya and Tang Yaweng were preparing to remodel the ships, Mo Lin was cruising outside with the main fleet, hiding on the side of the second island to train troops, Luo Zuo was desperately strengthening the defense of the entire territory, and at the same time training the new Han Chinese and mercenaries Their combat capabilities, Wu Kejing and Zhao Shuai are in charge of sending intelligence personnel to investigate the entire Newfoundland Island, and plan with Zhao Shuai the route of contact with the Chinese Empire in the future, and how to communicate with the Chinese Empire in the future, and at the same time communicate through telegrams Domestic delivery of steam engines, this is what the two of them discussed with Li Ya.

At this time, the mine-sweeping team had been walking for three days. They were approaching Fort Swift Current. Only by capturing where could they continue to attack the Avala Peninsula and at the same time defend against the enemies from the main island.

Facing the enemy cavalry rushing over, Sao Tianlei was not afraid at all. The guards around him on horses unbolted their guns one after another, adjusted their sabers, and prepared to charge. Be ready to block the enemy for the sky-sweeping mine at any time, and cover the retreat of the sky-sweeping mine.

When the enemy rushed to 300 meters, the guns of the guards rang out, and the sound of crackling fried beans sounded, and a burst of white smoke suddenly rose from the hills. The smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke was very pleasant.

The cavalry on the opposite side fell to the ground in a hurry. They were stunned by the hooves of the horses when they ran fast, and they turned into dead bodies when they ran slowly. The horses fell to the ground one after another. In a panic, he grabbed the reins and wanted to go around, but the result was chaos. Although the British were good at riding and the Newfoundlanders were better at riding, they were not as good as the guards' marksmanship.

The power of the Huaxia 1705 rifle, five bullets can almost form a continuous firepower network, not to mention that they know how to maintain firepower, so the British cavalry suffered bad luck. After seven or eighty people were killed or injured, they turned around and fled. The whole team was 80 meters away. At this moment, the mercenary cavalry brigade behind also came. The sky-sweeping mines did not let them charge, but were ready to attack at any time. They spread out and propped up a three-mile-wide protective net to protect the infantry behind. And the artillery came here.

The troops of both sides arrived after an hour and a half.

Then the artillerymen of both sides smashed each other with shells. The British were so proud that they brought not only solid shell artillery, but also copper-shell artillery. But there are more than 75 guns, except for seven or eight bronze guns that fire solid bullets, all of them are [-]mm copper shell artillery.

Both sides smashed each other with artillery, while forming a team, ready to fight, the cavalry fought and suppressed each other in the hills, flat land, and woods with a radius of five or six miles, but the British had a large population, Inuit, Newfoundlanders, The cavalry kept rushing up, and even the guard team around Tianlei had to shoot to suppress it from time to time.

Half an hour later, the British infantry came up, in a loose formation, hunched over, holding guns, and spread out the three-mile wide frontal attack line. There were not so many people here, and they also spread out. Formation, a thin infantry line two miles wide.

The opponent's bronze cannon began to suppress the infantry. The infantry suffered casualties, but they still marched forward with firm steps. The suppression here was two 75mm artillery. Six British soldiers fell to the ground, howling in pain.

The British army saw it and deployed five or six artillery pieces to suppress it, and the casualties here began to rise.

The members of the mercenary brigade wanted to run backwards, but as soon as they turned around, soldiers from a squadron of the exile brigade behind shot bullets into their chests one after another, and the others dared not run away and could only face the enemy. go up.

The infantry on both sides started firing at 300 meters. Compared to the Newfoundlanders and Inuit who have been trained by the British for a long time, their marksmanship is not very good. The mercenaries here are indeed professional soldiers. This is a profession. The soldiers faced the militia, so the casualties of the British army began to increase under the suppression of artillery fire and volleys of guns.

The two sides approached 150 meters, and they both lay down on the ground and fired at each other. The exile squadron here passed through the defense line of the mercenary squadron, and advanced bravely, pushing the front line to 100 meters. Then the mercenary squadron began to advance, and the two alternated. Under cover, the British army dropped 200 people in less than an hour and a half and began to retreat.

Sweeping Thunder immediately released the cavalry squadron of the mercenary brigade to pursue, and the cavalry squadron of the Han Chinese brigade wiped out the scattered enemy soldiers in all directions.

When it was dark, most of the sweeping mines had advanced to a distance of one kilometer from Swift Callent, and the British army fled into the fort one after another.

After waiting for half an hour, the third brigade of the overseer brigade escorted the luggage and logistics, and the slave and captive team came nearby and had a meeting to set up camp.

The sky-sweeping mines made the mercenary squadron and the exile squadron conduct a tentative attack from both sides of the fortress, but the enemy's firepower on the wall was too strong, leaving more than 30 corpses and a dozen wounded and retreated.

"Sir, the battlefield has been cleaned up. We have captured 25 enemy horses, eight bronze cannons, twelve 75mm cannons, three hundred shells, 450 barrels of gunpowder barrels, and twelve carts of enemy grain, totaling 350 jin. , captured 280 enemies, killed 450 enemies, and captured [-] enemy guns."

After hearing this, Sweeper was very satisfied. It was enough to defeat a small army of the enemy with so many captures. Most of the enemies were Inuit and Newfoundland. It seemed that there were a lot of people, more than 2000 mighty people. Because of the distance on my side, the cavalry troops advanced faster, and the infantry troops followed five miles behind, barely able to keep up. This resulted in not many troops at the beginning, and the modern British had already begun to learn from the Chinese Empire. Combat methods, so the line of soldiers drawn is relatively long. In fact, not many people are involved in the battle, and the artillery is the one that does the most damage to your side.

Listening to the losses on your side, invest a squadron of exile brigade, a squadron of mercenary brigade, a squadron of cavalry squadron, your own guard squad, scout squad from cavalry brigade, and artillery squad , and [-] slave soldiers transporting artillery shells, a total of [-] people, the enemy is no more than such a force, it can be said that it is equivalent to a drum.

But on my own side, 220 five people were directly killed and 150 were injured. The scout team captured three people and injured 25 people. The overall casualties were higher than the enemy. This is still not counted. Casualties were not small, as they were outnumbered against superior enemy forces.

Six guns attacked more than 20 other guns, and one gun and one battery were lost, and other artillery also suffered casualties.

As the troops formed a siege around Fort Swift Current, some other troops began to defend and investigate the surrounding area. After the siege troops tried it out once, Sweeping Thunder thought about how to quickly capture the castle, and there was an assistant behind him. The Gubisburg of the castle, the location is corrected, and it is stuck on the main road of traffic. This one is stuck on the main road of traffic and the main road to the sea, and there is a port castle on the other side.

Chapter 260, Flesh Town

It is obviously impossible to capture this place. With the current strength, even if everyone is piled up, it is impossible. The British have been operating for decades.

Look at the castle on the hill. Dozens of cannons on the castle are facing all directions. A dozen old-fashioned 34-pound cannons block the port. The port is narrow. It is difficult to compete with the British 34-pounder gun.

The firepower of the entire castle enveloped the small town and port below. The small town radiated around the foot of the castle in an arc-shaped fan, blocking the way to the other side, and also blocking the way to Gubisburg. The sea here is a harbor more than ten miles wide.

The artillery over there can take advantage of the geographical environment to shoot farther than ordinary and the same artillery, and there is a small town blocking it. To attack the castle, you must attack the small town. The small town is within the firepower coverage of dozens of artillery on the castle wall. .

And even if you break through the small town and go up the mountain, the mountain road is winding and winding, and there is only one road leading to it. The firepower on the city wall has almost no dead ends, and if you rush below the city wall, you will be hit by the flanking firepower of Lingbao.

It can be said that as long as the manpower is sufficient, the castle can be guarded forever without the need for many troops.

Because it is said that there is a mountain spring in the castle, the daily water output is enough for 800 people to drink and use, and there is a water storage pool on it, there is enough food, the British are like pine trees that are going to winter, they move everything inside, if the troops are not too strong There is a lot, enough for them to guard for two years. Even if 2000 people are arranged, the amount of water is not enough. If you can be more frugal, it is enough for them to guard for half a year.

This is a tortoise shell with a firepower hedgehog, but when it encountered the New Qin Empire Army, even the hardest tortoise shell would be smashed to pieces.

Skysweeper calculated all the inputs that could open the enemy's tortoise shell. The previous two squadrons' tentative attacks, coupled with the previous firefight with the enemy's reinforcements in Gubisburg, lost at least one of his mercenary squadrons. The squadron has also lost less than half of its strength, and the cavalry squadron has also lost half of its squadron. How to fight?

He looked up at the enemy town and castle two kilometers away, then turned to a messenger beside him and said, "Let the overseer brigade draw out two squadrons, each squadron will hold 150 slaves, and give them weapons, artillery squadron Suppress the formation, the Han Chinese cavalry squadron supervise the formation, let the slaves charge for me, before tonight, we must break through the part of the town next to the enemy's port, the killing does not need to be much, I don't care how many casualties, let the slaves charge and survive The ones who died will be taken as captives and sent to the rear, and those who die may have a bad life."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to look at the map. The messenger ran down the hill and rode to deliver the order.

After a while, mobilized, nearly 1000 troops moved towards the enemy. It took half an hour to pass through the area blocked by enemy fire, and stopped 500 meters from the town. Then the slaves wore leather armor, biting daggers, hanging Holding a waist knife and holding the flintlock guns captured by the enemy in his hand, he dispersed the team and began to charge towards the small town on the enemy's side.

The 300 people charged on two sides. For a while, under the firepower supported by the artillery squad, the town was full of smoke, the flames shot up into the sky, and the gunshots continued. Now, the Inuit used bows and arrows, matchlock guns, and swords to fight with slaves.

The first time it failed, it only wiped out the enemy's stragglers 300 meters above the enemy, and was shot back by the artillery fire in the enemy's small town, killing and injuring nearly five or 60 people. Charged, a slave wanted to escape, and was immediately shot to death.

The slave knew that he could not turn around, so he rushed forward desperately. 300 people killed and wounded nearly 100 enemies on both fronts, and lost more than 100 people themselves. But fortunately, they pushed the enemy back to 150 meters away from the town on the front of Kuan Sanli. meter front.

The Han officer who was in charge of commanding the battle immediately mobilized the artillery team, and asked the returned slaves to press the artillery on the enemy at a distance of 300 meters. The artillery was eight captured bronze cannons, four on each side. The remaining slaves continued to charge under the fire of the four cannons.

There were more than 100 dead and injured slaves and overseers, and the two sides still maintained a strength of nearly 300. This time, they fought against the enemy's firepower and quickly rushed to the edge of the town at a distance of 50 meters. Under the suppression of the artillery, the two sides entered at the edge of the town. At the point of hand-to-hand combat, many British immigrants and tribal fighters poured out of the town, the number was more than here, there were nearly 600 people, and soon the enemy forced the overseer team and slaves back to the starting point.

The artillery in the town even blew up two of the eight bronze cannons. If it weren't for the charge of the four supervisors behind, the position at a distance of 300 meters might have fallen. people.

But in the end the enemy withdrew back to the town.

This time, the Han commander brought in another 30 slaves, a squadron of supervisors. Of the original slaves, only more than [-] were left alive. The slaves left in the town and outside the town were all captured by the enemy.

More than 100 people were killed or injured in the last supervisory squadron, and the remnants retreated to the camp two kilometers away from the starting point.
