One hundred and forty-three, the battle
The heavy rain was clear, the air was exceptionally fresh, although the ground was slippery and very muddy, but the British army still began to attack the city of Devana, losing the barrier of heavy rain, the city of Devana seemed to be a delicate little girl, completely exposed in front of the terrible British, outside the city in the muddy mud, the cavalry spread out into a wild goose formation, the musketeers lined up in two phalanxes, together to the front, and there were several cannons prepared behind, the people on the city wall couldn't help but change color when they saw such a posture, "They actually brought cannons!" ”
On this day, Charlie finally set out, no longer commanding in the camp, but riding a horse to the scene, he took a telescope, looked at the Tianzhu people who were a little flustered on the city wall, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "In the face of these people, it is really best to deal with them in the most direct way." Now it begins, our war has just begun. Heralds, musketeers cover, cavalry sortie! ”
The North African cavalrymen in white robes lazily grabbed the reins of their horses, and at this time the horn sounded, which meant the attack, and everyone put away their lazy appearance, and began to draw their scimitars like crescents from their waists, whistling and whistling their mouths, and rushing towards the city of Devana, the musketeers stepped on goose steps, divided into three rows, squatted in turn, shot, retreated, and then repeatedly, although the density of the muskets was not too compact, but it was enough to suppress the fire on the city of Devana.
Prince Zhanxi stood on the turret of the lookout, looking at the attack scene of the British army, so that when the weather is fine, the battle of more than 5,000 people is very prominent and shocking, Rao is Prince Zhanxi has some preparations, at this time his face is also a little pale, I don't know what to do, he first ordered everyone to start defending, "The British cavalry can't go up the city wall, don't worry, everyone protect yourself, and then start to counterattack from the hidden place of the wall battlement!" ”
After the order went down, the commotion on the city wall calmed down, although everyone was shocked by the British posture, at first a little panicked, but at this time they had begun to prepare for defense in an orderly manner, as well as preparing defensive items such as rolling stones and logs, preparing for the enemy to attack the city, the musketeers began to shoot back, "bang bang" The city wall was so lively, the sound of muskets rang out one after another, and the city of Duwana also encountered the same situation as Xue Pan and others, that was to face the lack of ammunition and guns, and after a while, someone came to report: "Your Royal Highness the Prince!" We don't have enough ammunition, and if we continue to fight like this, we won't have more than three days, and we will be completely out of ammunition! ”
In the past, Prince Zhanxi would order to reduce the use of muskets at this time to ensure that the muskets could be used in the next battle, but at this time, he had already received news from Xue Pan and knew that his past few days were the most critical time, "Don't think about these, but," Prince Zhanxi originally wanted to order the firing of muskets at all costs, but he thought about it in a blink of an eye, "Reduce one-third of the firepower, and our musketeers will rest!" ”
As the native soldiers of the same clan but driven by the British, they began to approach the city wall at this time with the help of the fire of the British musketeers, and the firepower of the city defenders began to decrease sharply, and the clerk standing next to Charles saw that the fire spots on the city wall were not as frequent as before, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Their ammunition is not enough, even if they are cunning and treacherous, it is impossible for the ignorant Tianzhu people to make ammunition by themselves, this is absolutely impossible!" They are now out of ammunition! Lord Charlie, our chance has come! ”
"Don't be in a hurry," said Charlie slowly, "they can't give up so quickly, and then we will see if our faithful servants and soldiers are willing to climb the walls of Duvana, and if they are willing to slay their men with their swords." ”
The native army slowly approached the city of Duwana and began to attack the city, obviously both sides did not regard each other as compatriots, regardless of everything to fight, because the musketeers outside the city completely suppressed the city wall, the British drove the native people began to slowly climb the city wall, at this time suddenly the muskets on the city wall roared, the original resting musketeers at this time full firepower, bang for a while, countless soldiers dumpled down the city of Duwana, the rest of the Indian soldiers who were not hit were terrified, A shout all fled from the ladder, and they couldn't wait to leave the city wall of Duvana, and for a while the city of Duvana was in chaos, and several non-commissioned officers were desperately drinking, but it had no effect. When the clerk in the distance saw this scene, his face seemed to have eaten stool, "These damn Tianzhu people are so treacherous!" ”
"It doesn't matter," Charlie said slowly, "Pass the order, shoot a few of the Tianzhu people who retreated without orders, and then let them attack the city, they do have a shortage of ammunition, although it is not very deadly, but we can speed up the speed of these shortages, and then let the Tianzhu people attack the city, as long as they waste the ammunition in the city, then it will be a success." ”
Charlie's strategy is somewhat like some shameless traitors in China using knives and guns to drive the common people to attack the city and use it to consume the supplies for defending the city, but Charlie will not have any moral guilt, and the enforcers drive the native soldiers back under the city walls and start another round of attacks. This time, even if the prince of Zhanxi repeated his old tricks, he could no longer stop the soldiers who were like a tide hitting the city wall, and anxious beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, at this time he thought of the three tips given by Xue Pan, before the turmoil in the city, he had completely guessed that the prince of Zhanxi could deal with it so quickly, and he opened the second bag given by Xue Pan at this time, "Persistence?" ”
"Persistence is victory!" Prince Zhanxi repeated this sentence strangely, "It seems that this Lord Xue wants us to persevere so that we can continue to win!" ”
Prince Jhansi gritted his teeth and ordered the guards on the side, "Blow my golden horn!" For the sake of us and for the sake of the city of Duvana, I will personally go up to the city wall to supervise the battle! ”
Prince Zhanxi appeared on the city wall, although he was still protected by Tuantuan, but Rao was like this, and he had already given the defenders of the city a lot of chicken blood, "For His Royal Highness!" For the sake of Chamsi Bang! ”
The combat effectiveness of Devana City was beyond Charlie's expectations, "The combat effectiveness of these people is very high," Charlie shook his head, he was going to put the cannon to use, but at this time, the herald came over and told the clerk, and the clerk hurriedly said, "The patrol has come back to tell you something important!" ”
