On the battlefield, machine guns fired and bullets flew everywhere.
This wave of attacks came so suddenly, but were so ferocious and cruel that they caught the US military off guard. The US soldiers attacked without preparation, reaping the lives of one US soldier after another. The US military was fatally struck by one blow. The soldier fell to the ground and never stood up again, but the American soldiers who were still rushing forward were frightened and had deep fear in their hearts.
"Hit me hard, hit me hard."
Zuo Zongtang saw the American soldiers falling to the ground one by one, and his heart was filled with joy. It felt as if the pores all over his body were opened, breathing the purest fresh air. Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Peng Yulin and others were also extremely excited. , they looked at the fallen American troops and wished they could grab a gun and shoot them.
The entire army was already boiling with excitement.
However, the US military encountered a nightmare. They looked at the weapons used by Li Zhen's army and the muzzles of the guns that kept spitting out fiery snakes, and they could only howl and scream.
"Run away quickly."
A shout rang out from the crowd.
After this cry came out, the shaky military morale could no longer be maintained. It was like a crack in the dike was washed out by the flood, and the flood destroyed the dike in an instant.
At this moment, all the military spirit of the US military was poured out, leaving not a trace left.
One by one, the American troops began to retreat, fearing that they would be killed.
No matter how these soldiers fled, there were always soldiers left behind who were mercilessly killed by the bullets fired.
Li Zhen had more than a hundred machine guns under his command. These machine guns were constantly attacking and could fire more than a hundred bullets in the blink of an eye. Under the high-density shooting, the American soldiers could not stop them at all.
Zuo Zongtang saw that the US military was in disarray, so he seized the opportunity and shouted: "Blow the trumpet and start charging."
"Beep, beep,!!!"
The loud charge horn sounded in the army.
When the Charge reverberated in the air, all the soldiers hiding behind the sandbags rushed out, as did the soldiers holding machine guns. They all rushed in front, shooting and shooting as they ran.
Zheng Zaoru looked excited and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this battle is a complete victory."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "We did win the first battle."
At this moment, Li Zhen's heart was relieved. Although Li Zhen had made complete preparations, the final result had not come out, so he was always a little uneasy.
Now, the overall situation has been decided.
Amor looked at the soldiers who were retreating, and his heart was filled with despair. He did not expect that this battle would be lost so miserably. He was defeated before he could even cause large-scale casualties to Li Zhen's army. Such a result was too unexpected. Quite unexpected.
Lost.
Really defeated.
Amor sighed: "It's not my fault, it's because Li Zhen's weapons are too powerful." Amor also saw the weapons used by Li Zhen's soldiers through the telescope. This weapon was too overbearing, and his soldiers could not even There is no way to stop it. With such a ferocious weapon, the opponent is simply invincible when used for strafing and charging. Let alone Amor's soldiers, even if we look at the entire United States, it is difficult to find an army that can withstand such a weapon.
The soldiers running towards him yelled, shouting for Amor to retreat.
However, Amor stood motionless on the ground and had no intention of retreating. Amor looked at the defeated army, shook his head, sighed softly, and said: "Li Zhen's army came from the sea and has already controlled Even if we try to escape from the port out to sea, we can’t get out, we can’t escape, we can’t escape.”
The soldier pulled Amor and said: "If you are alive, you will have a chance."
"No chance."
Amor broke free from the soldier's pull and threw away the gun in his hand. With a clang, Amor pulled out the weapon from his waist and pulled it on his neck. With a pop, warm and bright red blood spurted out like a spring.
Amor's neck was cut open, and he opened his mouth to moan and roar. He seemed to be still missing and unwilling, but his body quickly softened, and he fell to the ground and twitched a few times before losing his breath.
Amor died, but no soldiers mourned him, and no one stopped to collect his body.
Because all the soldiers were busy running for their lives, especially the fleeing soldiers who ran over quickly, inevitably causing damage to Amol's body. At first, the US soldiers would avoid stepping on Amor's body, but they ran When there were more people, it was always inevitable. Under the continuous trampling, Amor's body was soon trampled to pieces.
The American soldiers fled, scattered, were killed, and surrendered. They were completely defeated.
After Li Zhen collected his troops, he did not return to the port for the time being and stopped to rest where he was.
After repeated pursuits, the soldiers were exhausted.
Li Zhen summoned Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Zheng Zaoru and others together and said seriously: "This defeat of the US military is one step closer to defeating the US military on Taiwan Island, but it is only a beginning and far from an achievement. , I hope that all people, whether they are generals or small soldiers, can stay alert, keep a cool head, restrain the soldiers, and let the soldiers become soldiers who protect their homes and the country, not soldiers who harass the people."
Li Zhen's eyes fell on Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, because these two were the leaders of the army.
Zuo Zongtang said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely restrain the soldiers."
Zeng Guofan said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, no soldier will harass the people."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Everyone can say good things, but I hope you can implement it and truly restrain the soldiers." After a pause, Li Zhen looked at Zheng Zaoru and said: "Mr. Zheng, the US military has been defeated. Some of them were captured, but many American soldiers escaped. You immediately sent soldiers to post notices to inform all the people on Penghu Island that anyone who sees American soldiers should not fight and report the news to us immediately. Our The soldiers went to arrest people to avoid casualties."
"yes."
Zheng Zaoru nodded in agreement.
"Report,."
A loud shout came from a distance, and the soldier who reported the news ran over quickly. After stopping, he bent over and gasped for air. After resting for a while, the soldier recovered slightly and immediately said: "Your Majesty, another fleet has arrived at sea, and the flag shows that it is British. Now, our warships are confronting the other side's warships. Please lead your troops back, Your Majesty."
"The British fleet."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression on his face.
At this time, why did the British army get involved?
Li Zhen knew that the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay. He immediately said: "You go back to deliver the message and let the people behind stabilize the situation. I will immediately lead the army to the port."
"yes."
The soldiers who reported the news ran away, and Li Zhen also ordered the army to assemble and set off back to the port. Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang also had solemn expressions on their faces, because the current situation had become complicated again. Originally, they only had to face the US military That's it. Now a country's army has suddenly been added, adding a lot of variables to the situation.
