"Has Guo Xing arrived at the west gate?" Shi Dakai asked, standing at a temporary headquarters on the east wall.
What he was most worried about was that all the remaining British troops in the city had fled, and of course the wealth in the city had been transferred.
"Reporting to the Holy King, I just saw the fireworks signal set off by the west gate. It should have been taken down."
"But Holy King, Guo Xing's men don't have many troops. I don't know if they can stop the British's defeat."
"If he can't stop him, then he is not Guo Xing... He ordered the army to hurry up and advance. Stop whining." Shi Dakai said with some displeasure.
"Yes, Holy King." The general following Shi Dakai raised his hands and retreated.
During the war, Shi Dakai always seemed a little cold-blooded and ruthless. Whether it was towards the enemy or his own people.
This is why he became the military god of the Taiping Army.
The East Gate was still in the hands of the British at this time. Mainly the defenders from the east had gathered there.
The Holy Army who attacked the east gate also suffered heavy casualties.
Burmese military camp outside the east gate.
Galloya is meeting with a liaison officer of the Holy Army.
"Your Majesty, the Holy King hopes that you can have people attack the east gate with us from outside the city and remove this nail as soon as possible. Otherwise, the British in the city may escape. The Holy King said that if we don't have enough in hand by then,
If they take prisoners, the British may use naval guns to raze this group of cities to the ground," the envoy said.
According to the original plan, after the city was broken, the fighting in the city would be handed over to the Holy Army, and the Burmese army would not need to take action.
The city will be handed over to the Burmese army only after the Holy Army has plundered the property in the city.
However, the current situation is that the British troops and Bengali servants stationed at the east gate are resisting too tenaciously. They are holding back the Holy Army's pace.
There were also a large number of Holy Army entangled by the reinforcements coming from the city.
Therefore, Shi Dakai could not allocate enough manpower to attack the east gate.
As time goes by, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to the coalition forces between the Holy Army and Myanmar.
According to Galloya's idea, he naturally hopes that Shi Dakai will fight to the death with the British army in the city.
Don't think that they will help each other if they become a coalition.
Shi Dakai is also plotting against Galloya.
His willingness to hand over the city of Dhaka to Garaya was certainly not out of kindness.
In fact, Shi Dakai also had the intention of letting the Burmese people fight with the British army.
Because the strongest thing the British have is their navy.
The Myanmar army occupies coastal areas.
Therefore, if the British want to fight back, the Burmese will definitely bear the brunt.
In this case, Shi Dakai only needs to defend the British from the middle reaches of the Ganges from the west.
Under the current circumstances, Shi Dakai does not need an entrance to the sea. He does not have so many resources to develop a navy.
And even if the navy is developed, it cannot get out of the Bay of Bengal. The entire Bay of Bengal is occupied by the British.
Under the current circumstances, it is enough for the Holy Army to develop an inland water division for defense.
Galloya is not a fool, of course he knows this.
However, areas such as Manipur and Meghalaya in the north of Bangladesh have long been occupied by the Holy Army.
They can now only occupy the granite plains of the lower Ganges.
However, Galloya knew that although this area was difficult to defend, it was the most fertile area.
He felt that he was capable of defending this place, and another reason was that the Renaissance Army had promised to help them build a fort to protect the port.
Although he could not build a navy at once, he could only keep the British at sea.
As time goes by, the British will compromise.
Because the British can't afford to go early if there is no profit. As long as the expenditure of fighting is greater than the benefits of occupying this place, the British will retreat.
"Tell the Holy King that we will attack immediately and take down the east gate together." After careful consideration, Galloya still sent out troops in a unified manner.
Because prolonging the time will also do him no good.
If these British people are not blocked here, then it is really possible that, as Shi Dakai said, the British army will use naval guns to destroy the city.
If that happens, your losses will be huge.
The buildings in this city are still very valuable, especially several fortress-like palaces.
Galloya plans to use this place as his palace in the future.
Garaya plans to shift the center of Burma to the west in the future.
The current capital is too close to China.
As a vassal state, Garoa always feels constrained.
Just like many children don't want to live too close to their parents when they grow up.
They feel freer the further away from their parents they are.
Galoa does have plans to move the capital here in the future.
At the east gate of Dhaka, the Burmese army that had retreated far away suddenly surged over like a tide.
The city gate and the defenders on the city wall were attacked from two sides. This time they finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Hilton's mansion in the city.
"General, the west gate was suddenly occupied by a group of rebels. Before that, the north gate and south gate were also occupied by rebels."
"Our troops are fighting street battles with the rebels in the city. But their numbers are larger, and the situation is very unfavorable for us."
"What, how many rebels are there in Ximen?"
"General, their number is not large, only about a thousand. But they occupied the city gate and set up several barricades on the streets."
"Our men rushed several times, but could not break through their defense line."
"In addition, General, Governor Ramsay has ordered you to lead the British soldiers in the city to evacuate Dhaka at this critical moment." The reporting general continued.
At this time, another soldier came to report that the East Gate had been breached by the enemy.
Now the enemies are pouring into the city.
This finally made Hilton decide to leave.
"Let Colonel Sparrow lead the 20,000 militiamen to the front and slowly withdraw our people."
"There is nothing to fear from the rebels at the west gate. Just recruit the noble guards in the city to break through their position," Hilton said.
After all, there are only a thousand people at Ximen. At this time, the nobles in the city can completely take advantage of their desire to survive.
Let them send people to the front and use the cover of these cannon fodder to break through the rebel defense lines.
The 20,000 newly recruited slave troops under Sparrow have never been put to use.
Hilton sent these people out at this time just to delay time.
After all, there are 20,000 people. If the organization is good, even if these rebels are allowed to come and kill them, it will take half a day to kill them!
The east gate city was destroyed, but Galloya still kept his word. He just guarded the east gate and did not let the soldiers enter the city.
It was agreed that the holy army would take the money, but it would be unclear if the Burmese army entered the city together at this time.
The key is that after breaking the city, Galloya may not be able to control his soldiers.
When the time comes, Galloya won't be able to collect the things stolen by the soldiers below, which might lead to a mutiny.
Galloya will continue to cooperate with the Holy Army in the future. Because they have a common enemy - the British army, although there will definitely be competition between the Holy Army and the Burmese army on this land in the future.
But now both parties must abide by the principle of cooperation.
Here the two of them can't find any other allies except each other.
Shi Dakai kept urging his soldiers from the rear to advance towards the West City.
Even 10,000 reserve soldiers transporting logistics supplies were sent into the city to search for property.
After the city is broken, Shi Dakai has one day. During this period, the property in the city will be plundered by the Holy Army.
West Gate, the blocking position of the Holy Army.
Guo Xing has repelled several waves of British troops.
However, these British troops should have just come from nearby areas to support them.
There are not many of them, and the intensity of Guo Xing's musket fire can completely repel these people.
But this time a large group of people came.
At the head of the group were the guards of the Bengal nobles.
Many of them still carry cold weapons.
But at this time, these people were driven by the British army and were charging towards the Holy Army's position.
"Hit me, hit me hard!" Guo Xing ordered.
There were a lot of people coming this time. And with the British troops driving them from behind, there was no way for these people to turn back.
So Guo Xing ordered the shooting when these people entered the maximum shooting range. Because the shooting distance was a bit far, the soldiers of the Holy Army slightly raised their muzzles when shooting.
The rifled guns produced by the revived military already have scales on them.
At this time, the ruler has been stretched to the highest level.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..." Gunfire sounded.
The Bengal noble guards who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another.
But the remaining Bengalis still charged.
"Bang..." A Bangladeshi who turned around and tried to escape was shot down by the British army behind him.
"Those who retreat, die!" the British army shouted to the Mengala people in front.
After all, the British had colonized here for a long time, and the Bengalis were still more afraid of the British, so under such high pressure, the remaining Bengalis charged faster.
Guo Xing felt the pressure coming from the other side.
The soldiers were shooting hard, but they could not stop the enemy's charge.
At this time, only two rotating machine guns could contain the crowd charging on the street.
"Get grenades ready." Guo Xing suddenly remembered that the soldiers carried a large number of grenades.
These grenades were never used in the encounter just now.
Now in this narrow street, facing those Bengalis armed with cold weapons. This weapon seems to be just right.
The grenades sold by the Renaissance Army are much easier to use than the Thunderbolts made by the Holy Army in the past.
And with the wooden handle, it can be thrown further after being reduced in size.
The barricade position was not wide horizontally, so Guo Xing's troops at this time were not as stretched as imagined.
He deployed three rows of infantry at the front of the barricade, with rifles and bayonets attached to form the first line of defense.
At the same time, these people are also responsible for killing those people who were not killed by the grenades.
Behind them were three rows of improvised grenadiers. All the grenades in the army were concentrated on them.
They will take turns throwing grenades forward, creating a three-shot grenade.
Finally, a group of Bengalis were driven over by the British army regardless of their unwillingness.
"Throw!" The first wave of grenades was thrown out.
Then there were continuous explosions.
Those Bengalis who were bombed fell on their backs.
The remaining people were stunned for a moment.
Some people wanted to escape, but the British troops behind them were equally murderous.
Some people think that if they rush forward, they will die anyway.
