Chapter 50 The Pride of the British Army

The one-night attack made the British Expeditionary Fleet exhausted.

On the sea, the beach was covered with the bodies of red British soldiers. The naval guns had clearly cleaned up all the obstacles protruding from the ground in this sea area, but no matter how hard they tried, they could do nothing to face the Ming army hidden in the trenches.

The sea and beaches severely delayed the soldiers' charge speed, which made the soldiers in red uniforms stand in shallow water like red targets.

Marine Corps Commander Irving didn't understand how fast the Ming soldiers in black uniforms would shoot, and he didn't understand why these soldiers could shoot in any posture.

He clearly saw from the telescope that the soldiers not only could stand and shoot, but more often, they crawled on the ground and shot. They didn't even use the standard loading posture and just fired at will.

The British soldiers standing in the sea cannot lie in the sea because, as long as they do this, the sea water will soak their guns and wet their gunpowder... Therefore, they can only stand straight in the sea to greet each other's dense gun bullets.

The war broke out too suddenly, and Irving knew nothing about his enemies.

"Baron, I think we should also use flowering bullets."

After seeing a shell explode in the crowd from the telescope again, Owen came to the flagship of the Fearless and made his own request to Captain Nelson.

"Col. Irving, stop letting your troops die. Those brave soldiers were killed outside their range, and I don't have the ability to accurately send shells into those narrow trenches."

"Baron, Count Raymond is still in their hands. We should save him. It is related to the glory of Great Britain."

Baron Nelson looked at Colonel Irving and said coldly: "Earl of Raymond has been taken away by the Ming people's warships. Now, the Ming soldiers on the island are guarding their trophy.

And I can't see any hope of victory from you.

As for what the Earl of Raymond is, our king is also a prisoner now, and the Duke of Buckingham is also waiting for trial. Your supportive Duke of the Protector, Mr. Cromwell, has now become the new king in London.

Until now, the glorious Royal Navy has fulfilled its responsibilities, and the land is not our work area, it should be the business of you army.

I think Mr. Cromwell will protect you from victory, just as he did in the Battle of Nezby, you will always win, right?"

Colonel Irving thought for a moment and said, "My last request, Baron, this is my last request. I hope the Navy can help us get as close to the beach as possible, at least, allow me to try again at high tide today."

Baron Nelson smiled silently and said, "Do you want us to send you to the shore with a heavy battleship?"

Owen gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you do this if possible."

"And what? Even if you seized the island and regained the funds and supplies that Mr. Cromwell was desperately needed, how would you transport these things back without the navy?

You should know that there are pirates everywhere in this sea area. The Ming people are pirates, the Spanish are pirates, the Dutch are pirates, and the Portuguese are pirates. Even if you defeat these pirates, I want to ask you again, how should you pass through the territorial waters of the Ottoman Emperor?"

Owen straightened his back and said, "I believe that the support fleet will arrive in India soon. Baron. If you can't use it to send us to the shore, I believe that the Duke of the National Guard will know that because of your timidity, Daei lost a large amount of money and materials that could have improved the domestic environment."

Nelson laughed and said, "As you wish, Colonel, the battleship drew too deep and did not meet your requirements. The Anne and the Fishman will wait for the tide to rise and send you to the shore."

Owen looked at Baron Nelson sincerely and said, "Baron, thank you, we are soldiers, not politicians. We are now facing a powerful and cruel enemy. I only hope to fight for the British Empire, not just for a certain person, whether it is the king or the Duke of Protector."

Nelson sighed a long time, he had already noticed the strong dead aura of Colonel Irving.

"There can't be too many troops on the British warships. In two days, we have killed at least a thousand British people. If we fight like this for three more days, I think we can kill all the British troops.

At that time, we will be on the island, and we will have no shortage of ammunition, so they will have no choice but to do anything to us."

Cloud patterns drive morale while walking in the half-man-high trenches.

"Brothers, as long as we work carefully and don't be greedy for merit, we will hide in the trenches and consume their troops. The final winner must be us, and we just need to endure it..."

The war had been fought for two days and one night. At this time, the Yun clan soldiers had slowly adapted to the battlefield. After all, these people were selected from the army, and entering the army must undergo training from the Fenghuang Mountain Military Academy.

Phoenix Mountain Military Academy may have bastards and gangsters, but there will definitely be no waste!

All those who are not suitable for the army will be eliminated at the Phoenix Mountain Military Academy.

The sea breeze blew from the sea, the waves gently kissed the beach, and also kissed the British corpses who died in battle, just like the cradle of their mother, shaking the corpses...

Two days have passed since the fifteenth day. Although the tide is also rising at noon, it is far less than the one on the evening of the fifteenth day.

Lao Zhou looked at the tide that was higher and higher, picked up his gun and lay on the trenches. Whenever the tide was high, the British would launch a charge, the same every day.

Lao Zhou raised the gun, and the soldiers around him also raised the gun, looking at the enemy who was about to climb from the sight of the sightings through the mountain.

"There is no situation on both sides?"

When Lao Zhou saw Lao Chang coming, he asked in a low voice.

"No problem, the British did not choose to climb cliffs or climb mountains. I have already assigned wolf smoke on both sides. If the British climbed up there, news would come."

"When I go back, I'm not at ease with those guys. Without you, I'm not at ease with me in front of me, so you can't feel at ease."

Lao Chang nodded and left with a gun.

The waves rolled up the British corpses and kept pushing towards the shore, and the strong corpse stinking was blown up by the sea breeze.

Lao Zhou was very familiar with this smell. He had smelled it in Xuchang, Xuzhou, Jinan, and Beijing. Looking back at the boys who were vomiting, Lao Zhou shouted: "Inhale hard and suck the stinky corpse in. In this way, Black and White Impermanence will treat you as a dead person, and maybe you will be let go."

On the sea, the Anne and the Fishman had already hung up their sails. Under the strong sea breeze, all the sails were filled with wind. The heavy force pressed the bow into the sea, and then raised their heads suddenly and rushed straight towards the shore.

"Fire the gun, fire the gun."

Yunwen, who had been monitoring the British army's movements, saw something wrong with the two ships, and immediately shouted at the messenger.

The messenger waved the flag, and Yunzhen, on the artillery position, immediately ordered the firing of artillery.

At the same time, dense roar of artillery fire came from the sea, and densely packed shells poured down to the coast like raindrops. Lao Zhou and others saw large pieces of shells falling down, quickly sticking to the wooden boards beside the trench, rolling their eyes one by one to see the landing points of the shells.

I felt very uncomfortable to die. I saw the heavy rain-like shells hitting my side, and the tall coconut trees on the shore were broken by chain bombs and collapsed with a bang. More shells fell from the sky. With a loud bang, they smashed into the wet sand, and then a stream of blue smoke rose.

Seeing his unlucky companion hit the bones of the cannonballs that were lucky enough to fall into the trench, a young soldier stood up in the dense rain of bullets for some reason, and shouted and jumped out of the trench and ran backwards.

A fist-sized shell passed through his chest. At one moment, a big hole suddenly appeared in his chest. The body fell to the ground and was soon ravaged by other shells. Humanoid.

Old Zhou shouted: "Don't move, don't move, the shells can't hit you, you can't hit you."

His voice seemed extremely powerless in the roar of artillery fire. Fortunately, there was only one idiot who turned around and ran away. The rest of them pressed their faces tightly against the trenches and narrowed their bodies as much as possible, hoping that these shells would not hit them.

Lao Zhou took the risk of looking up, and he immediately found in horror that two huge three-masted warships had entered the shallow sea area, and the bottom of the ship plowed in the shallow sea and rushed towards him straight.

At this moment, he could even hear the squeaking sound of the three-masted ship being about to disintegrate.

The tall bow had already rushed to the beach, and then there were dense sounds of musket firing from the ship, and more gunpowder bullets were thrown at them with sparks.

Old Zhou decisively lay on the trench with a gun and fired quickly.

Gunpowder made the beach mess, with splashing sand everywhere, and black smoke almost obscured the view, and the two huge warships also crossed over at the last moment, becoming two tall turrets.

Conquering from a high point, the Yun clan soldiers were shot one after another. After Lao Zhou waved his flag and asked Yun Town for a round of artillery cover, he quickly took the remaining Yun clan soldiers to evacuate the first line of defense.

When evacuating, the body can be left without a gun, but it must be taken away. This is a strict order.

Yun Wen clenched his left fist tightly, his palms were wet. His eyes didn't dare to leave the telescope for a moment, for fear of relaxing for a moment, and then he saw the Yun clan soldiers who were defeated like a mountain.

Fortunately, Yun Fang and Lao Zhou still maintained the situation and lay on the second line of defense, holding a gun and waiting for the British behind the warship to come out.

As it was out of the range of the flintlock, the gunfire sounds on the British warships disappeared, and only the gun windows were still spitting out black shells.

Suddenly, a melodious sound of bagpipes sounded from behind the warship. Soon, Yunwen, Lao Zhou, Yunfang and others saw a grand scene that they had never seen before in their lives...

One by one, the British soldiers wearing scarlet cloaks and tall hats decorated with brass and feathers, slowly advanced under the orders of the officers and the accompaniment of the military band.

Although Lao Zhou and others had already started shooting and killed many people, the British had no feeling. No matter the fall of their comrades or the explosion of the flowering bullets beside them, they could not make any expression change on the faces of these war machines.

Walking along the way, people die all the way...
