To say that death is terrible for some people, and to do it even more when you know that you are going to die will only make people more frightening.

"Stupid, charge." Above the city tower, the crown prince Li Yuanlong watched the soldiers below die one by one under the guns of the mercenaries, and even hundreds of people paid the price of their lives for every breath, it is impossible to say that he is not distressed, but if he charges, there is no turning back. That is the case, and the thought should be about how to achieve victory. Undoubtedly, in the face of an enemy with only a few hundred, how to rush over and have a melee combat to reduce the use of the opponent's firearms is what needs to be done urgently.

Perhaps in order to confirm the prince's words, Li Shaozhong, the commander of the city, happened to give the order to attack the whole army at this moment. While constantly shouting the slogan of the charge, he also shouted to the people around him demagogically: "They only have 800 people, as long as we can rush to their side, the victory will be ours, rush, the person who kills one enemy will be promoted to the third rank, and the reward will be 100 taels of silver!" ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, especially Li Shaozhong also killed a few soldiers who wanted to retreat, and under the shock, the other Jiaozhi soldiers gritted their teeth and strode forward.

Yes, once they rush up, the muskets in the hands of the mercenaries will not be so effective, and that is when they will kill the enemy.

"Retreat!" Seeing that the enemy finally woke up, he knew that the charge was coming. The commanders of the 5th and 6th battalions gave the order to withdraw almost simultaneously, and at the same time, the guns in their hands continued to spray flames and bullets.

There were constantly Jiaozhi soldiers who fell on the way to charge, but because one side was attacking with all their strength and the other side was retreating limitedly, the distance between the two sides was slowly narrowing as the people who continued to die slowly narrowed.

"One platoon turns on the burst mode, and I get all the bullets out quickly. The second platoon and the third platoon are ready to drop bombs. Seeing that the distance between the two sides had been reduced from 400 meters before to less than 100 meters now, and even soon it was only 60 or 70 meters, and this distance was still rapidly shortening, the commander of the fifth battalion and the commander of the sixth battalion issued new military orders.

Facing the charge of tens of thousands of people with 800 people, it is impossible to say that there is no fear in the bottom of my heart, after all, so many people rushed over, and the momentum alone was very terrifying, but fortunately, the usual training worked. Yang Chendong, who had long expected that he would often use less to more, was particularly focused on courage when training them, and the lone hero became the example and goal that all soldiers yearn for.

In addition, when they were engaged in the battle, the two battalion commanders said that once anyone fell off the chain, they would face the consequences of direct expulsion from the army. After all, the sixth young master is watching from behind? As a member of the auxiliaries, it is rare to be so noticed, if you really retreat because of timidity, or even run away, that face will really be lost to your grandmother's house.

It was under such encouragement, although there was still some fear in his heart, but not a single soldier retreated, but listened to the orders of the two battalion commanders, shooting and dropping bombs, everything seemed to be in order.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the mercenaries, the eyes of the cross-toed soldiers who rushed to the front showed excitement, and in their opinion, victory was just around the corner. It only takes a few tens of meters to advance, as long as they can stick to the mercenaries, the role of the opponent's musket is very limited, and that is the time for them to act prestigiously. The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel!

As the cross-toed soldiers were trying to move forward, as if to see the light of day, hundreds of tossed objects flew over their heads.

Those things seemed to have eyes, and they landed in the ranks of the Cochin Army rushing forward, and then the next moment, a series of violent and deafening loud noises were heard one after another, and correspondingly, the Cochin soldiers were constantly blown away.

A grenade can be called a small melee artillery, and once it falls in the crowd, its power is moved to the ground within a radius of three meters. Pity those who rushed the fastest, and the Cochin soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly swallowed by the power of this gunpowder.

"Da Da Da..."

The eight-one bars of the two auxiliary platoons turned on the burst mode, and in that instant, the bullets swept like rain, and some of the Jiaozhi soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit by the grenades became live targets, and one by one they were hit by bullets and fell to the ground.

"Grenades, throw!" The sound of explosions was incessant, and while the corpses were flying, the ground was also blown out of one pit after another.

"Run." I don't know which Jiaozhi soldier was the first to shout such a sentence, and the Jiaozhi army, which was still coming with great momentum, finally began to retreat. Especially when some soldiers find that the distance of the attack is limited for those things that can be thrown on the ground to cause explosions, they are even happier to run one by one. The original wave of violent impact was suppressed by the bullet.

"Chase and fight." Seeing the opportunity, the 5th and 6th battalion commanders put away their grenades, raised their guns one by one, and knocked down the slow Jiaozhi soldiers who were running behind them to the ground one by one.

In the land of the mercenary army, Yang Chendong took the telescope to see all this, and there was a sense of relief on his face.

Just now, he had already made plans to send several other auxiliary battalions and even the main battalion of Leng Feng, after all, once he really let the Jiaozhi soldiers rush in front of him, the consequences would be unimaginable, and such a loss was also something he didn't want to see.

Fortunately, the auxiliaries of the two battalions did not disappoint him, withstood the pressure in the early stage, and won the final victory.

Of course, in the face of such an attack, Yang Chendong actually had a better way, for example, he could casually get a few powerful cannons from the big warehouse. Presumably, when the real cannonball goes off, the opponent's attack will be instantly disintegrated. But he still didn't do that, he wasn't worried about how to explain the sudden appearance of the artillery, after all, the cold fronts had long regarded him as a god, and everything he did didn't need to be explained to anyone. What he was worried about was, once the cannon was used this time, what about that time?

When they are not on the battlefield, what should these mercenaries do when they want to attack the city, or even carry out an operation to destroy the country?

You can't have artillery every time. In the absence of chariots, not to mention the fact that it is difficult to transport such a thing, it is said that once such a treasure falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be fatal.

Of course, it is also appropriate to use artillery, after all, the cold front in the future will still be equipped with a certain amount of artillery. It's just that even if you want to use it, you have to use it on the blade.

Besides, on the battlefield where the fire was being exchanged, as the mercenaries retreated, the auxiliaries of the two battalions began to counter-charge, although their pace was not very fast, but because the enemy was still within the firing range of the eighty-one bar, when they fired every shot, there would still be enemies who were hit and fell to the ground.

"Open the gates and let them in." On the top of the city tower in the west, seeing that the defeated Jiaozhi army was being slaughtered under his nose, King Le Li had already turned pale with a pale face. He suddenly found that he seemed to be really old, and he began to be afraid in his heart, which he had never experienced when he was young, even in the face of the powerful Ming Dynasty, he still made his voice and dared to wrestle his wrist.

But now, in the face of the seemingly invulnerable mercenaries, when there are less than a thousand people who can easily repel his army of 30,000, he really doesn't know what to do at this moment.

Above the castle tower, the archers began to shoot arrows continuously, although they were far from shooting the mercenaries who were still four hundred meters away, but at least they had to make an appearance, indicating that they had the ability to fight back.

The east gate was opened early, so that General Li Shaozhong and their defeated troops could enter the city smoothly. Although they are defeated, they are still Jiaozhi soldiers after all, not to mention, in the face of such an opponent, who can not be defeated?

After the soldiers poured into the city gates, they didn't have time to pay attention to the wounded soldier who had not been shot and died, and the city gate was quickly closed. They were afraid that the mercenaries would take the opportunity to attack the city directly, but in fact, the auxiliaries of the two battalions had already retreated. In this battle, they killed at least thousands of people, successfully completed the task, and made a contribution.

When the fifth battalion commander and the sixth battalion commander returned to the barracks, they were naturally praised by Yang Chendong, and stated that these combat exploits would be recorded, and they would only be commended when the right opportunity was given.

The two battalion commanders immediately received countless envious glances. Although several other battalion commanders are also jealous, they also know that these two battalion commanders still have some ability, and this kind of courage is admirable just to say that they do not move in the face of dozens of times the pressure of the enemy.

As for the merits, there are so many enemies, are you afraid that there will be no battles to fight in the future? As long as you are strong, gold will always shine.

After the first battle, it was almost night. Yang Chendong had no intention of launching a night attack, not that he didn't have such ability, but that the current Jiaozhi was not worth it at all. Therefore, except for the soldiers who were left to guard the camp as necessary, the rest of the soldiers rested early after dinner.

Others can rest, but Yang Chendong can't, he still has too many things to do.

For example, the second battalion commander Chen Bo came with news that they successfully completed the task and killed nearly 5,000 people including General Lati of the Lancang Kingdom's reinforcements, and the other 95,000 Lancang soldiers and more than 1,000 Jiaozhi soldiers in Yinglou City all became prisoners in their hands.

The first step was successfully completed, and Chen Bo asked for instructions on what to do next. In this regard, Yang Chendong said the order, and the tiger mang on the side was responsible for recording.

"Inform Hanoi City to send 20,000 intellectual youths from Chichicheng City, of which 2,000 people will be left in Yinglou City to carry out preaching activities, and the rest will help Camp Commander Chen to press the captives back. Inform the navy to be ready to take the prisoners to the castle at any time. ”
