"Success!"
Yang Yuchun was overjoyed.
The pontoon bridge was built.
It will be a matter of time at best to capture this small city in front of us.
As long as this channel in and out of the Ganges can be ensured to be smooth, it is only a matter of time before the entire Ganges Basin becomes available.
Such a great achievement.
The emperor will definitely call him back to Zhongdu when the time comes.
Maybe he can be made a father-in-law or something.
Thinking of this, Yang Yuchun felt hot in his heart.
These 10,000 lobster soldiers in front of us will definitely be eaten.
After this battle is won, we can even sweep northward and build a naval force capable of fighting in the Ganges River Basin as soon as possible. By the way, the emperor's order has already come, and we don't know what kind of warships the Indian Ocean Fleet will send.
Combat.
Just when Yang Yunchun was thinking about it.
One of the battalions that rushed over in the first wave had already crossed the moat.
He is rushing towards the bottom of the city wall.
The next step is to complete the blasting of the front of the city wall under the cover of artillery fire!
This way.
This city will fall into the hands of the Ming army.
Yang Yuchun really didn't understand why these British people wanted to come here to die?
At this moment, the large-caliber mortars deployed by the British in the city threw a large number of explosive shells filled with more than ten kilograms of black powder in front of the city wall.
Boom boom boom!!
A huge sound rang out.
The soldiers of the Ming army who rushed at the front were quickly covered in blood and flesh under such bombardment, and suffered heavy casualties!
Yang Yuchun couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, the spirit has been weakened. After all, the British are holding on to a city with a certain bastion structure. It is normal to fight for months. Let's withdraw and organize it first. Send two companies to guard the pontoon bridge, and then prepare with firepower.
Then we’ll attack again.”
Luo Dingshan also nodded: "Don't rush, save the life of the sergeant."
Yang Yuchun sighed and wanted to put down the telescope in his hand. It is not easy to fight a tough battle. Calcutta is a big city, and it is also a bastion defense circle surrounded by rings. It is a permanent defense system built by the British in the past two years. If you want to
Laying such a group of bastions would really cost people their lives.
Just when the retreat bugle was about to sound.
Qian Daji, the supervisor on the front line of the battle, was still fighting the final battle. He had a pistol in his left hand and a saber in his right hand. His shouts with a Zhejiang accent resounded throughout the entire front line: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! If we advance, we will not retreat! I'll wait thousands of miles to come.
How can it be blocked by an earthen city?"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! If you advance, never retreat!"
Qian Daji shouted and took the lead, and the surrounding soldiers were immediately inspired. They jumped up from the trenches and rushed forward along the erected pontoon bridge.
More ladders were put up on the city wall.
More officers climbed up the ladder first, and the soldiers followed.
Those warriors who couldn't squeeze onto the ladder picked up the cannonballs that were about to explode and threw them towards the moat!
At the back, everyone was watching all this with their binoculars dumbfounded.
The second wave of Ming army's attacking team also covered their heads and rushed onto the pontoon despite the constant incoming shells.
For the staff officers sitting in the clean and tidy general staff office making plans, or for the generals who hold the lives and deaths of thousands of people in their hands.
Recklessness, impulsiveness, and recklessness are the worst qualities.
But for the middle and lower-level officers who are fighting on the front line, this fearless and indomitable spirit is the most valuable combat power!
The troops with such soldiers and officers are elite elite.
In the eyes of everyone's expectations, the warriors of the Ming Army have climbed up to the wall!
The first one to board was Qian Daji's brigade. He was not tall. He was a typical southern man.
But when he rushed into the head of the city, those big lobster soldiers might be scared, and no one rushed to fight.
That is the opportunity for this moment, more Ming Army has been on the city wall, and some people hold pistols.
Some people lift the grenade, and some people wield the cold samurai knife. The first one who comes up is the officer!
"Kill!"
"Stand!"
"Ula ..."
After a short silence, the shouting and killing sounded, and the tragic combat city wall unfolded!
The melee combat of the two sides fought quite fiercely.
The bayonet sees red.
Blood flowing pestle.
Arthur Welsley does not think his soldiers' soldiers will be so vulnerable ..
Or.
Before that, the small -scale conflicts between the two sides could not verify the combat effectiveness under large -scale operations.
And now it seems.
The coalition forces of the Indian Fan of the Daming Empire.
The combat power is terrible !!
Especially the weapons they use.
"General, what should we do now?"
A officer asked in panic.
"Withdraw! Let's retreat!"
"Cover?"
"City is not important, what is important is people!"
Arthur said.
The officer froze slightly.
Arthur seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, "Our battle is not worthless, even if it is defeated, it is very, very valuable!"
"Because. We saw our opponent !!"
"There is a saying in their Chinese soldiers, what is called?" Arthur thought hard and thought, and then said, "Oh, yes, it is called as long as you can understand yourself and your opponents, you can stand up to the invincible place!
"
"This is" knowing and knowing that he knows one another ", the general," said the officer.
Arthur looked at the officer unexpectedly.
"General, the Chinese classics have been very popular in Europe in recent years. After all, they are the world's largest empire!" The officer who came from London this year smiled slightly and said.
Arthur Walls nodded.
He also heard.
In Europe, "China Hot" has occurred now.
Everything in China seems to be advanced.
Their complex blocks make Europeans even feel inferior.
Because China was a closed empire a few years ago.
After just a few years, it has become a country leading in Europe. This is the case in just a few years. What about them for thirty or fifty years?
Maybe
They will completely rule this world.
