Fontaine's troops have more than 5,000 people. Of course, these are not only soldiers from foreign legions, but also pure French people, but they are now under the command of Fontaine.

In the foreign legion, as long as it is an officer, it is the French. In other words, France has extremely strict control over foreign legion. This time, after the French captured Mexico City, it experienced some small battles, and the Mexican Juarez government ran to El Paso.

That should be difficult to deal with. Now, to the northwest, there is a new empire, a country established by the Chinese, and that... is definitely a bad country!

This is how Fang Dan understood this military operation. In his eyes, the revolutionary army and the Chinese were all a group of unsprouted pustules. He had not beaten these individuals before. He had dealt with the revolutionaries in Europe in 1848. As for those yellow-skinned guys in the East, would they still have to deal with them?

You know, even in Crimea, he did not let the Russians ask for help!

"Brothers! Do you need more rest?!"

Although Fang Dan's opponent was definitely very trash, he was not an idiot. After landing that night, he immediately asked his subordinates to rest because it was night battles, and after all, they came by boat. Everyone was all in the army, and the bumps on the sea were amazing.

"No! We don't need it!"

After a night of rest, the French young men were in high spirits!

"Very good!" Fang Dan was very happy. "The scout told me that there was a hill about 5 kilometers west of us. The bastards who were beaten away by us were now piled up there! Now those guys are likely to fight with their own dicks! Maybe it's for some food."

"Hahaha……"

I have to say that Fang Dan’s joke is right, although it is a little vulgar.

"Can we make them so leisurely?"

"Of course not!"

"Yes! Then, let's kill them now! Let's kill those pigs!"

“Oh oh oh!”

"go ahead!"

Under the sunlight reflected by Fontane's command knife, the 5,000 French Expeditionary Force and foreign legions began to enter the small hill west of Juma Town!

On a hill about 5 kilometers west of Yuma Town, more than 400 soldiers from the First Army and the Third Army were sweating profusely.

Needless to say, this is the classic tactic of His Majesty Clint Li I, digging trenches!

Originally, the trenches had already started digging last night, but our cultural instructors felt that such a trenches were not good enough and they had to dig some more.

Why?

Yang Weili’s reason is very simple, that is, the mountain is different now!

Simply put, it is a landform on the edge of a desert, and the mountains in this place show another characteristic. There is not much vegetation here, the soil is also very thin, and there are more weathered stones.

What if the opponent uses cannons to bombard such a landform?

Perhaps the cannons are not powerful now, but the shells hit the stone to form sputtering, which doubled the power. So, the guy Yang Weili was very smart. He guessed that at this point, he called on everyone to dig more trenches, which were on the back of the hill!

In military terms, this is called a backscene, but no one seems to have used it yet. However, learning about war in war is something that we Chinese are better at.

"Did you say this thing work?"

"How can I know? But, the enemy has not come here anyway, so I am idle."

There are still many words like this, most of which are skeptical about this fresh trench.

"I said to Comrade Yang, are you really sure?" In this case, Song Yulong's main reason is that he is not sure about the war he will face next.

"What doubts do we have about the tactics of His Majesty, our great emperor? Moreover, we are still holding weapons designed by His Majesty the great emperor, how could we fail?" Yang Weili basically said this set of words.

To be honest, just this tactic, that is, digging trenches is not very new. Yang Weiley also saw it in some military books when he was in the UK. Of course, they were all foreign works, but after he came to the New Tang Empire in the United States, he found that the emperor's move was still good, and he was based on local materials and was very effective in reducing casualties.

So now, according to the actual situation, the opponent is coming in a fierce manner, so we cannot stick to the rules and have to make some changes. But the reason is not available here. To be honest, Yang Weiley doesn't know whether the trench dug on the back slope is good or not, but if you don't dig, then the result needs to be discussed.

So he had to take advantage of His Majesty’s personality worship. To say that he was a wanderer overseas, he actually didn’t have much awe for His Majesty.

The soldiers of the Empire were working hard, but where did the French army go?

"Look! Those guys are here!"

Finally, the scouts on the top of the hill saw the shadow of the enemy, but this is 'could'...

It was already evening, but fortunately, the sky was very long in the low latitudes.

Hum? Why did those French troops come so late?

Soon, Yang Willie climbed to the top of the mountain, then took a telescope and understood.

cannon!

The French army was not a fool. These people removed the cannons from the warship and slowly advanced to the foot of the mountain!

He did not give it to the foreign commander of Fang Dan for free. This guy is also a man who is old. Although he inspired all his subordinates, he did not let them die.

The French army now has obvious advantages. They are numerous and have a sudden attack. However, the opponent now has a terrain advantage. It is not easy to capture a mountain these days. But, however, our French army has artillery.

It has been a year since the French army entered Mexico City, and this time allowed them to do something. Didn’t Napoleon III issue a manifesto to declare war when the American Empire was founded?

Yes. This guy took it seriously, so he asked the French army in Mexico to change many captured merchant ships and turn them into warships.

This trick... Li Mengyang has also used it before, and it is easy to modify the boat these days.

So, now Fang Dan got these cannons down again, so the speed was naturally very slow, but the results were also good.

With 20 cannons, the firepower is already very impressive. Just like the opponent's hill, the French army has such strong artillery support, it should be said that it will be taken down in minutes!

"Arson!" Sure enough, Fang Dan was full of confidence. With his sword swing, 20 cannons began to roar!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Retreat!" When Yang Weili saw this situation, what else can I say? Run!

Boom! Boom!

The hill was shaking with fierce artillery fire, but at this time, the 400 people from the First Army and the Third Army were basically in the trenches on the back slope.

It's okay!

Of course it's okay. Where can artillery in this era be able to hit the backscene surface? It's very accurate. Even the French army, which is famous for its cannons, would be impossible.

Boom! Boom!

Fang Dan took the telescope and looked up the mountain. He saw that it was a piece of dust flying with rocks everywhere, which was so spectacular.

But he also discovered a problem, that is, it seemed that his enemies were gone.

"Turning turtle!"

Fang Dan laughed and scolded. He no longer took his opponent seriously at all, and then waved his sword.

"go ahead!"

"Go in step!"

"go ahead!"

With the call, the formation of the French army began to change. The first one to fight was the French foreign legion. These guys were actually soldiers of war and were also the ones that Fontaine trusted the most.

Of course, he did not send all his subordinates out. A regiment of foreign troops and a regiment of French troops had a total of about 2,000 people. They lined up and launched a charge to the unknown hill!

Of course, if the charge of this era is called charge...

"Comrades!" The investigation ward left behind naturally called for people.

"Comrades! Let's enter the position!" Yang Weili ordered the 400 people in the Revolutionary Army and acted quickly without vaguely.

Why are you so obedient?

Because of the fierce shelling just now, no one was killed or injured, which was simply amazing!

Willie Yang knew that one of his bold ideas played an important role, which was a reasonable use of the trenches. To be honest, this was completely forced out, and the opponent was too strong.

The current strength comparison is 5,000 vs. 400!

Have a chance to hold the position?

It's a slap! It's a slap!

There were only one roster of officers, waving command knives and shouting commands, and 2,000 people rushed up the mountain slowly.

"Comrades! Let it be closer!"

Willie Yang is reminding everyone, but in fact...

"We all understand comrades instructors."

"That's right!"

Yes, the Revolutionary Army is so familiar with this combat mode!

Yang Weili has seen the training of the Revolutionary Army, and he has the feeling from this training, 'It seems that the Revolutionary Army is training in response to the tactics of this era...'

However, the French army has almost rushed, so don’t think too much at this time.

"Comrades! Shoot!"

"Open fire!"

Bang bang! Bang bang bang!

The platoon position of more than 400 people suddenly burst out with rapid force after the opponent left. The rows of bullets shot out seemed to be the sickle of the god of death!

Swish...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A layer of oil sweat was covered with on his head in an instant, because after seeing a piece of white smoke rising from the opposite side of his subordinates, a large area fell down!

He has been through the battlefield for a long time and has seen similar scenes, but now this one is too neat. Could it be...

Have we met a great guy?? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
