- night
The moonlight casts a silvery glow
There were dots of silver light on the sea, and four Galen ships broke through the sea and sailed slowly towards the west coast.
The British have never relaxed their vigilance on the east side, so they are well aware of the movements of the four Galen ships.
In the past month, the four ships have been cruising in the sea without doing anything extraordinary.
Originally, the British thought that tonight would be the same as usual, but when the other side was just preventing them from crossing the sea, the four Galen ships turned sideways and opened fire.
Boom boom boom!
The flames on Galen¡¯s ship kept flashing, and over the British camp on the shore, ¡®Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ¡¯ The sound kept ringing, and the scalp of those who listened was numb.
Although the largest gun on Galen's ship is only a 12-pound cannon, Zhao Hongyu can get explosive shells if he can't hold it off.
These explosive bombs were shot into the sky above the British camp, they would break apart and then shoot downwards. Its power covers an astonishingly wide area, and basically all simple buildings and people within its killing range will be destroyed in an instant.
The poor British lost many soldiers in one fell swoop without any precautions.
Although some of them were on guard, Zhao Hongyu and the others did not land, but opened fire at sea.
The simple fences built by logging trees and the tents in the camp were horrifically bombarded by 64 artillery pieces from four ships.
(Note: The Galen ship Zhao Hongyu obtained has 16 guns and a single deck.)
"Let's bombard for half an hour first. We have enough ammunition. After clearing unnecessary obstacles, we can land on the shore." Zhao Hongyu stood on the bow of the ship, watching the British camp opposite being under constant fire. He shouted as he was knocked over.
"Okay, chief, give me half an hour first." Wang Shan, who was standing behind him, responded and immediately conveyed the order to Song Hu, Lamuel and Chel. indivual.
On the deck behind Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan, Somali gangsters were standing in neat rows.
On their bodies, they were dressed in neat 18th-century European soldier uniforms. Red military uniform, white button-down, black trousers and black leather boots.
No matter how you look at it, it all reveals a spirit of energy.
It looks much better than just wearing big green pants a month ago.
This is not because Zhao Hongyu likes to prank, but when he invested, the copycat scientific research institution also upgraded the function of clothing. Therefore, this kind of clothing that only appeared in the 18th century appeared in Zhao Hongyu's group in 1620.
Although he was a bit dumbfounded by this, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was always better than just wearing underpants. So I accepted this fact and purchased these 18th century military uniforms to equip the genetic people.
After these genetic people put on these clothes on the ship, don't tell me they really felt a lot more energetic.
"It's a pity that it's summer now, so they can't wear the black cylindrical bearskin hats because the weather is too hot. It doesn't matter if you wear this kind of clothes, but you will be shit if you wear that hat.
Zhao Hongyu is also wearing a red military uniform, with a white button on his chest, black pants and a pair of black leather boots. There is a gold-inlaid thin sword hanging on his waist. Compared with ordinary genetic people, he has a pair of golden epaulettes on his shoulders to symbolize his identity.
Is this considered a transition from the 17th century to the 18th century?
No, it¡¯s just some changes in clothing.
Wang Shan is also dressed in this way, making him look like the same person. At the same time, there is a vertical golden epaulette on his shoulder without tassels.
People like this kind of clothing gene very much. After all, they also like to dress themselves up and look energetic. Even those dull genetic people had a look of pride on their faces when they wore such clothes.
"Do you think that if we people appear on the European continent, those country bumpkins will be shocked when they see our military appearance." After Wang Shan conveyed Zhao Hongyu's order, he turned around and chatted with Zhao Hongyu.
Now the bombardment of the British camp on the other side has just begun, there is still half an hour to go.
"That's for sure. Europeans like this kind of fancy stuff now. If our military appearance appears on the European continent, they will immediately kneel down and lick it. Of course I am talking about those noble ladies."
Zhao Hongyu is now ¡®a strong man and a strong horse¡¯, and his mentality is much more relaxed than before.
Don¡¯t look at the British and his vassal tribes across the way, which total a thousand people, but these people are in front of Zhao Hongyu.?They are all local chickens and dogs.
Although he only has more than 1,200 soldiers, they are all elite fighters.
With the addition of shotguns and artillery, doesn¡¯t he believe that he can¡¯t kill these bastards?
If this doesn¡¯t work, then Zhao Hongyu is really weak.
"Hehe", Wang Shan smiled yinly, "That's right, our spirits have changed so much when we put on these clothes, it will definitely shock those European ladies. It's a pity, we can't go there now .", licking his dry lips, his face full of a lewd smile.
Looking at the smile on Wang Shan¡¯s face, Zhao Hongyu also laughed.
"You guy, can't you think of something else in your mind?" Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and pointed at him, "Do you want to find a woman by your side, or go to the British prisoners to find a bitch?" Bar."
Wang Shan shook his head: "My taste is not that bad. Although these British women are okay, they do not meet my requirements. From now on, leader, you must be the founder of an empire. I am also a duke after all. How can I Looking for this kind of woman."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
After hearing what Wang Shan said, Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but feel happy.
"I can't tell that you have a very high vision, but I don't object. If there is a chance in the future, it will depend on your methods." Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan with a smile.
To be fair, Wang Shan¡¯s dream is not unrealistic.
Zhao Hongyu is also quite supportive. After all, the people he wants to harm are not Chinese people. It is not a big deal if those European ladies are harmed by him.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the four ships also docked.
After half an hour of shelling, the British camp was basically completely destroyed, leaving only the ruins of a place.
At the same time, the open space near the shore was also taken care of by artillery fire. A blank area was cleared for Zhao Hongyu and others to prepare for their landing.
After lowering the deck, the soldiers walked off the Galen ship in neat lines.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Soon, the marines on the four ships completed the landing.
In addition to the 120 sailors left on each ship, there were a total of 800 Marines involved in the landing operations.
The shelling has stopped, and wailing sounds continue to be heard from the British camp.
¡°But there was no expression of pity on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s face, and he had no good impression of the British.
"go ahead!"
A team of 800 people, including Wang Shan, Song Hu, Lamour and Chelsea, each leads 200 people.
In every team, Chinese and Somalis are mixed, so as to avoid a dominant family.
The soldiers all took their flintlock rifles in their hands, then mounted their bayonets and lined up in neat lines to press towards the British camp.
The natives from the opposite side are coming, everyone forms an array!
During the shelling that lasted just half an hour, the British commander David was hit by a shell and died suddenly on the spot. Unfortunately, he had just seen gold in the morning and died like this in the evening.
It can be seen that he and gold really have no fate at all.
Instead, he went to the commander, which caused the British to become confused.
As the saying goes, a snake can't survive without a head. The commander has lost his shit. How can we fight this war without a commander?
Fortunately, the British were only slightly confused, and soon a low-level officer took control of the situation.
As long as an official stands up, the soldiers will naturally obey the order.
But compared to the well-behaved British, the Indians from the vassal tribes who came with the army were in chaos.
Some Indians simply slapped their butts and ran away during the first few rounds of shelling. Some people hid on the hills in the distance, waiting for the final result.
Because they have also seen that the British opponent this time seems to be very difficult.
They also have ships and sharp weapons.
So, now they have to choose carefully.
¡°If these enemies are more powerful than the British, this area and the Virginia area will not all belong to others in the future.
Even if you choose a master, you should choose a powerful one.
The British still don¡¯t know that the Indians who are now vassal to them have already begun to have other plans in their hearts.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Indians. The Indians in Virginia learned from the British that they would not do anything if it was not beneficial.??
Originally they were very simple and honest, but unfortunately they were led astray by the British.
There are four phalanx formations, and Zhao Hongyu and the others also listed the phalanx formations.
Because the flintlock guns were equipped with bayonets, their combat effectiveness was improved. The use of phalanx tactics was also based on the European tactics of the 18th century.
Since this kind of square formation was still popular in the 18th century, he must have his reasons.
Although arranged in a square formation, the soldiers also moved forward in a linear tactical formation.
Advance in waves and take turns shooting!
In the burning British camp, the hastily organized British soldiers launched a charge in disarray.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom!
The genetic soldiers in the first row fired a volley, shouting and charging the British soldiers who fell to the ground one after another. Then the genetic soldiers in the second row, third row and fourth row and fifth row instantly advanced a distance of about ten meters. Then he stopped.
The soldiers in the first row became the last row and began to load ammunition.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom! Boom!
The queue circulated back and forth in this way, rolling forward like a wave to attack, and the British were unable to charge at all.
As for the British soldiers who fell on the ground, when the Gene Man passed by, the Gene Man would hit them hard with bayonets to relieve their pain (To be continued.
