On the grasslands on the northern border of Angola, Lin Chaojie held up his telescope and glanced at Arthurburg in the mountains, and his brows were frowned slightly.

Arthur Castle was actually built on a slope, and it was too troublesome to attack.

He also pretended to be insufficient troops and was eager to take Angola, and pretended to be afraid of heavy casualties. How could he fight?

If you rush directly, it will definitely not work. If you act urgently, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

It doesn't seem to be okay to pull the city defense cannon over and fight against others. After all, the ranges of both sides are similar, they have city walls and have a height advantage, so they will not avoid death or injury.

How to fight?

He held up his telescope and glanced for a while, and finally found a way.

This method is also the method used by Zuma to attack Ceuta.

That is to say, pull the city defense cannons to the top of the mountain and blast them towards the city.

Although there are not many hills here, there are still several hills on the left and right sides of Arthurburg.

He just thought for a while, then pointed to the hills and ordered: "Send an order to order the artillery to pull up the hills with a thousand city defense cannons, aim at the cannons in the city, and prepare to bombard them."

In fact, he brought five thousand city defense cannons and five thousand field cannons. However, there are only so many hills here that are suitable for setting up cannons. If all the five thousand city defense cannons are pulled up, they will not be able to squeeze them down.

Besides, Prince Kong Dai also introduced the situation in Arthur Castle in detail. There were only a few dozen city defense cannons in total. They set up thousands of city defense cannons to destroy all their artillery.

A wave of order flags, and 20,000 gunners immediately pulled a thousand city anti-cannons and gun mounts to run towards the hills on both sides. The speed was simply frighteningly fast.

When people did this in front of him, Arthurburg's guard naturally discovered it.

What can he do if he finds out?

He has an army of hundreds of thousands, and the formation is full of artillery. If he dares to send troops out of the city, he will definitely be bombarded by others.

He could only look at the hills on both sides in despair, wanting to cry without tears.

How to fight this battle?

He hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Send the order, prepare to retreat!"

ah?

The messengers were stunned.

Before the fight starts, are you ready to retreat?

However, they were stunned for a moment and then scattered and ran to pass the order.

There was no way, this battle could not be fought at all. Even if they pushed the cannons directly to fight them, they would not last long.

The pressure of 20,000 troops facing hundreds of thousands of troops was really great. The defenders in the city only felt that time seemed to have solidified, and it was so difficult every minute and every second.

The guard in the city stared at the hills on both sides with horror, as if afraid that the shells would suddenly fall.

I don’t know how long it took, but a row of black dots finally appeared on a hill.

People really pulled the cannons to the top of the mountain.

The guard in the city immediately ordered without hesitation: "Hurry, send the order, everyone retreated to the west immediately."

Lin Chaojie was stunned when he saw that the heads on the city wall suddenly shrank.

Their artillery was not bombarded from the front, but from the left and right sides. Is it useful to shrink the arrows behind?

Soon he understood that because the artillery on both sides had flags, the enemy in the city ran away!

What happened to these French people?

Every time they ran faster than rabbits. Not only did the East African Kingdom, but they attacked the French mainland the same. They felt that they could not do it and ran away immediately!

Well, since the person runs away, there is nothing to beat.

He thought for a while and then ordered: "Send an order, the artillery soldiers on the hills on both sides continue to monitor, and the vanguard battalion 100,000 people immediately pushed the chariot and rushed forward."

Although the wooden chariot is not smashed, a round of artillery should still withstand it. If the person retreats in a sheep suit, he can still call the gold and withdraw his troops immediately.

In this way, the forward battalion would not be hit hard by others and suffered heavy casualties.

"Run!"

A wave of order flags, and the 100,000 people in the forefront camp immediately roared and pushed the chariot toward Arthurburg.

It is obvious that the French do not have much fighting spirit. They can’t fight, and they are the first to escape.

They really ran away, and the forward camp rushed to the city wall, but there was still no movement in the city.

The walls of Arthur Castle are not high, and the troops of the Forward Camp just climb onto the top of the chariot and jump up.

The first city in Angola was taken inexplicably, and the battle was really speechless.

Lin Chaojie couldn't help but curl his lips, and then ordered loudly: "Import General Zhang quickly that the cavalry can set off."

He thought about it again, but dismounted and wrote a battle report, and ordered people to rush to the dock of the Congo River Bridge.

Although this battle was a bit inexplicable, they had finally taken Arthurburg and the news was still to be reported.

When Taichang received the battle report, he looked weird.

What happened to these French people? How can they fight this battle without fighting spirit?

He was really worried that Lin Chaojie's 500,000 chariots scared Luanda's defenders away.

Fortunately, Tirina is not so bad.

He heard that Arthurburg had lost his life and did not run away immediately.

Because the guards of Fort Arthur only reported to them by hundreds of thousands of troops, and Luanda had 200,000 defenders, he might not be unable to defend them.

While he ordered people to strengthen the city defense, he ordered scouts to investigate and wanted to determine how many people there were.

As a result, the scout sent out but none of them came back. The next day, the guards of Fort Arthur came with more than a hundred cavalrymen.

This guy even got rid of the horse by him!

White foam was already flowing from the corners of the mouths of those war horses, which was obviously not possible.

Seeing this, Tirena immediately ran down the wall, leaned forward and said sternly: "Why are you doing so urgently? Where are your men?"

The guard of Fort Arthur was so scared that he quickly explained: "General, I can't run without running. The enemy is all chariot soldiers. Our subordinates can't run at all. If I don't run by horses, they will be caught by them."

All are soldiers!

Are they the East African soldiers again?

Tirena thought for a while, then asked coldly: "How many people do they have? Do you count them clearly?"

The guard of Arthur Castle said weakly: "I can't count this, but it should be about 500,000 in size.

Five hundred thousand?

This number is really a bit embarrassing.

If he wants to defend Luanda, he will probably be able to defend it.

The problem is that if someone surrounds and doesn’t attack, it will be troublesome. He doesn’t have any warships and cannot get enough supplies from the waterway. How long can the 200,000 people last?

The food in the city is enough for them to eat for several months.

What to do now?

They were obviously chasing the defenders of Fort Arthur to rush towards Luanda, and Fort Arthur is only more than 300 kilometers away from Luanda. At the speed of their chariots, they would probably rush over in three more days.

He frowned and pondered for a while, but ordered someone to call the messenger in charge of the Netherlands' contact.

At this moment, Prince Hendrick had already gone back to Cape Town, and the Duke of Richelieu made concessions and gave them half price, which was to exchange for the transformation materials for 500 sailing ships for 10,000 sailing ships.

He had sent a batch of materials to others, and the remaining materials were still being prepared. At least he sent a warship and left a messenger here.

Tirena did not hide it, and said to the messenger directly: "The 500,000 troops of the Kingdom of West Africa have already been fought from the north, and the number of troops under my command can be at most to defend Luanda. I can't take care of other places at all.

You immediately rushed back and told Earl Moritz and Duke of Weimar, send troops to rescue you quickly. If the entire Angola is lost, it is useless for me to just guard Luanda. The copper mine and rubber trees are not in Luanda."

Hearing this, the messenger quickly bowed and bowed, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Tirena looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It seems too late to gather people from other places here.

He could only order people to go to various cities to inform all the defenders to arrive at the port city south of Luanda as soon as possible. When reinforcements from the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden and Denmark arrive, they will rush over together, and they should be able to defeat the soldiers of the West African Kingdom.

Lin Chaojie was originally trying hard to rush towards Luanda according to the tactics set in advance. He really didn't expect that these French people not only had bad fighting spirit, but also couldn't escape.

He rushed to catch up with the defenders of Fort Arthur after only one day.

As a result, he was in vain for nearly 20,000 prisoners. It has to be said that this was an unexpected surprise. After all, one prisoner is one hundred taels, and the twenty thousand prisoners are also two million taels.

Next is the performance time.

After he led his army to Luanda, he gathered all the artillery and chariots to the east of Luanda City, as if he wanted to attack, but he was a little hesitant.

This hesitation took a day.

Tirena was stunned by him.

What's going on with these guys?
