Although there are more than 70,000 soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance on the defensive position of the Five Nations Alliance Army outside the West Gate of Panama, these more than 70,000 soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army cannot even form a three-stage dense formation under the threat of the Ming army's field artillery. Heavenly Sound『『.』 2

In order to avoid their own artillery shells from hurting their own soldiers, when the attacking Ming soldiers were about to attack the defense area of the Five Nations Alliance in front of them, the Ming artillery battalion began to extend the artillery bombardment.

Although the defenses that were immediately attacked by the Ming army were no longer threatened by artillery, a large number of grenades flew in the sky.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The dense explosion of grenades is even more threatening than artillery shelling.

Facing the front line of the Ming soldiers' attack, a large number of soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance were blown away.

"Bang! Bang! "There was a flint shot, and in the end, there were still some soldiers of the Five-Nation Alliance who pulled the trigger of the flint gun at the attacking Ming soldiers, and shot sparse lead bullets at the Ming soldiers, rewarding a few Ming soldiers.

But immediately, these soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance, who hooked the flint guns, were also shot by Ming rifle or machine gun bullets.

In the face of the dense firepower network composed of rifles and machine guns of the Ming army, coupled with the auxiliary attack method of hand grenades, even if the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance were much more numerous than the attacking Ming army, they could not stop the attack of the Ming army.

The Ming army continued to break through and advance in the huge defensive area composed of the five-nation alliance until the west gate of Panama City, and the ultimate goal was to attack Panama City from the west gate of Panama City to achieve the central flowering strategy centered on Panama City.

The defense outside the West Gate is about a thousand meters deep from the West Gate of Panama City.

The Ming army had already penetrated the outermost part of the defense of the five-nation alliance, and as long as it broke through a distance of more than 1,000 meters inward, it would be able to kill in front of the West Gate of Panama.

"Humph! European barbarians think that they can't resist the attack of our Ming army by relying on their large numbers? What a delusion! In the artillery camp position, Yan Yingyuan looked at the defensive position of the Five Nations Alliance Army after the army had begun to attack, put down the binoculars in his hand, and sneered.

From the very beginning, the minds of the five countries, including Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal, were clear, that is, to rely on the absolute superiority of the number to defeat the Ming army, but they could not imagine that relying on the advanced level of the Ming army's current weapons, where could they still be compared with their backward flint guns and pound guns, which could not be made up by quantity at all.

Perhaps the Duke of William, the commander of the British army, and the Marquis of Orlan, the commander of the French army, fought face-to-face with the Ming army more than once, but they only recognized the strength of the Ming army, but they also did not fully understand how strong the Ming army was.

In fact, even if the Ming army did not have the help of artillery, relying on the intensive fire of rifles and machine guns, and the assistance of grenades, it could still crisscross at will within the huge defense of the Five Nations Alliance Army.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack----"

"Da Da Da -----"

The dense network of rifles and machine guns constantly swept and killed the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army in front of the offensive line, even if some of the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army were not killed at the first time, they were able to shoot at the attacking Ming soldiers and kill some Ming soldiers.

However, the casualties on both sides were not proportional at all, and often the alliance army of the five countries was killed by one or two hundred people, and the Ming army did not necessarily die a single person.

As the Ming army continued to attack inward, it got closer to Panama City.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom -----" The other artillery of the Five Nations Alliance Army suddenly opened fire on the attacking Ming soldiers.

These cannons came directly from Panama City, and it was impossible for the Ming artillery battalion to be destroyed at a distance of 3,000 meters from Panama City.

These cannons also numbered two hundred pieces.

The shells continued to kill and injure the attacking Ming soldiers, which can be regarded as giving the Ming troops on the offensive some real casualties.

Unfortunately, even if there was continuous artillery bombardment, the Ming army still continued to attack in the direction of the west gate of Panama City, and the artillery of these five-nation alliance armies could not stop the attack of the Ming soldiers in addition to causing some casualties to the Ming army, and could not even limit the degree of attack of the Ming soldiers.

If it is said that the Five Nations Alliance Army was killed by the Ming army just now, and the Ming army was killing one person, then now under the threat of two hundred cannons in Panama City, the Five Nations Alliance Army will die forty or fifty people, and the Ming army will die one, but such casualties are also disproportionate.

Soon, the Ming army had broken through the defensive depth of the five-nation alliance army beyond the west gate of Panama, and at most 500 meters deep, the Ming army would be able to attack under the west gate of Panama City and attack Panama City.

"Suspend the shelling and move the artillery forward by five hundred meters!" The position of the Ming army's artillery camp, Yan Yingyuan ordered.

At present, the artillery camp can only bombard Panama City to a defensive depth of 1,000 meters, and it will not be able to bomb Panama City, but if it is moved 500 meters, it will be different, and half of Panama City will be enveloped.

The soldiers of the Ming artillery battalion began to push the cannons and slowly moved forward.

The artillery battalion of the Ming army suddenly stopped shelling, and the Five Nations Alliance Army immediately lost its suppression, and the soldiers began to form a three-stage dense formation to block the attack of the Ming soldiers, and even the Five Nations Alliance Army in the defensive positions on the left and right sides began to move closer to the West Gate.

In addition to the nearly 70,000 soldiers in the city, the remaining 300,000 or so soldiers of the more than 360,000 Five-Nation Alliance Army were distributed outside the four gates of Panama, east, west, north and south to form a defensive depth. Now the Ming army is attacking from the west, and the five-nation alliance armies in the southeast and southeast directions have also begun to send soldiers to support Ximen.

It is a pity that the range of rifle and machine gun bullets of the Ming army is much farther than that of the flint lead bullet in the hands of the five-nation alliance army, and the power and firepower are also too great, and it is not at all that the five-nation alliance army can stop it by relying on numbers.

Under the blow of the dense network of machine guns and rifles of the Ming army, the five-nation alliance army, which formed a three-stage dense formation, suffered many more casualties and more serious casualties than simply being bombed by the Ming army's artillery.

No, a group of thousands of Five-Nation Alliance troops formed a three-stage formation blocked the Ming army's attack in front of it, holding flint guns, wanting to wait for the Ming army to enter the firing range and shoot at the Ming army.

However, the Ming army was still more than 300 meters away, and they had already taken the lead in shooting at them intensively.

"Da ----" seven or eight machine gun mounts on the ground spit out one after another fire snakes.

A large number of Ming soldiers also raised their rifles and opened fire.

Dense bullets shoot over, poof! Burst! Burst! Penetrating the bodies of one after another soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army, blood splattered, and the corpses fell in pieces, almost in just a few breaths, this formation formed a three-stage attack dense formation, and the thousands of Five Nations Alliance Army soldiers who were blocking the front of the Ming army were killed and wounded, and the corpses fell one piece, and the remaining half also collapsed in an instant, unable to maintain the three-stage attack dense formation.
