- Rush up and kill them all!
For the sake of our children and survival, kill them all!
Wave after wave of Iroquois launched a charge, and the dense lead bullets could not repel them.
Two hundred yards!
One hundred and eighty yards!
One hundred and sixty yards!
The encirclement of the Iroquois gradually narrowed, putting great pressure on the Gurkha Regiment.
"Steady! Steady the formation, don't mess up!"
In the Gurkha phalanx, the shouts of the non-commissioned officers could be heard endlessly.
"The Iroquois attack this time is crazy. It seems they won't give up until we are wiped out." Seeing the fearless charge of those Iroquois people, who did not retreat even after being shot several times, The adjutant told Sharma that he would fall down only when he could no longer hold on any longer.
He tightened the reins in his hands and stabilized the war horse, which was a little restless under his crotch.
Sharma said: "They want to eliminate us, but we don't have such an idea. Don't be afraid, just let them charge. No matter what, they are flesh and blood, not robots with steel and iron bones."
Although he is under great pressure now, Sharma does not feel that he will fail. On the contrary, he has strong confidence in this battle.
There is no other reason. Weapons are one thing, and the most important thing is the technological advantage.
The equipment of the Gurkha Regiment is very complete. The speed of the flintlock gun is much faster than that of the matchlock gun, which allows them to maintain a stable shooting speed.
At the same time, he also has a big killer weapon that is useless. If it is used, it will definitely shock the Iroquois.
Yes, in addition to flintlocks, bayonets and cold weapons, the Gurkha Regiment also has a homemade wine bottle grenade. Basically every Gurkha warrior is equipped with six grenades.
The war has been going on for so long and so many times, but the Gurkha Regiment has not yet used this kind of grenade.
Therefore, the Iroquois did not yet know that their enemy possessed such a weapon.
The destructive power of the wine bottle grenade is very high, and there is no need to describe this point.
Last year¡¯s war with the British, the power of this grenade was tested.
And during the winter, the wine bottle grenade was improved again, so its power was greatly improved.
This is where Sharma¡¯s confidence lies.
If you can look down from the sky at this time, you can see it very clearly. On this plain, the Gurkha phalanx was located exactly in the loyal zone of the plain.
The Iroquois surrounded the Gurkha regiment and launched charges from all directions.
It can be said that the Gurkha Regiment now has enemies on all sides, and there are still many enemies.
"Line up the rear, prepare grenades! Attack!"
The Iroquois were crazy and their constant advance put pressure on the Gurkha regiment.
So there was a problem, if it was no more than a hundred yards then the Iroquois bows and arrows would not cause them harm. But if it gets closer than a hundred yards, the Iroquois arrows will enter the attack range and cause damage to the Gurkha regiment.
Although this kind of harm may not be great, it is not good after all.
Therefore, facing the Iroquois who were already approaching 120 yards away, the Gurkha Regiment had to deal heavy losses.
After receiving the order, the soldiers in the back row of the four teams in four directions took out bottle grenades from their backs and ran forward. After they ran out of the queue, they lit the fuse and continued running forward.
Since they ran out, the musket shooting was stopped, otherwise they would definitely injure their own people.
Haha, the enemy's muskets have stopped, they must be out of ammunition!
Go!
The Iroquois were very happy to see the gunfire stop.
They mistakenly thought that their opponents had run out of gunpowder and lead bullets, so they became excited.
As long as the enemy does not have gunpowder and lead bullets, it is easy to defeat. After all, there are more people on their side than the other side, so both of them can make a profit by fighting for one.
And the other party keeps suppressing them to fight, isn't it because of the sharpness of the muskets?
It¡¯s okay now. The weapon the opponent relies on has misfired. Why don¡¯t we take advantage of the situation and kill them now?
Go!
But what made them a little strange was that although the enemies on the opposite side stopped shooting, many people ran out.
Huh, close combat, we Iroquois are not afraid of these.
¡°This is what all the Iroquois thought.
Unfortunately, the other party stopped before running very far, and then threw something towards him.
After throwing away these things, the enemies turned around and ran back.
They moved so quickly that the Iroquois had not yet reacted.
By this time the Iroquois had come within eighty yards.
This distance is already a very dangerous range for the Gurkha Regiment.
Hey, what is this thing? Why is it smoking like smoke?
At this time, someone discovered something was wrong. They discovered that the things that were rolling in the air and being thrown by the enemy were emitting green smoke.
"It's a pity that the Iroquois have no time to think about this problem.
Peng!
Peng Peng! Peng!
Those exploded just above their heads, and the broken glass and small lead particles in the bottle were sprayed to the surroundings below.
The sound of whooshing through the air continued to sound, and then the Iroquois fell to the ground one by one before they could react.
After a while, the Iroquois warriors who were at the front were unable to stand up.
For a time, there was a large blank area for the Iroquois charging team. It looks very strange and shocking.
Some of the Iroquois who were affected by the explosion of the bottle bomb died on the spot. Some people were seriously injured and lost consciousness, while others did not lose consciousness and were still quite conscious.
¡°It¡¯s a pity that it was this awakening that caused them immense pain.
The bottle grenade was very powerful. Basically, those Iroquois within the range of the explosion were either killed or injured. These guys were inevitably injured.
Especially, this kind of grenade bomb exploded above their heads.
In an instant, the smoke dissipated, and the entire battlefield was filled with the wails of the Iroquois.
And the Iroquois who were still attacking were frightened by this situation.
They all stopped in their tracks, as if they had forgotten to continue the attack.
They all stood there stupidly, staring at their companions in front of them with their mouths open.
Especially the heart-rending wails of his companions were even more sad to hear in their ears.
"Shoot!"
While the Iroquois were stunned, the enemy launched another attack.
The Iroquois who originally rushed within a hundred yards, but after being attacked by bottle grenades, suddenly returned to outside the range of two hundred yards.
You know, they can rush within a hundred yards, what a sacrifice they have to make.
That¡¯s tens of thousands of lives.
But it¡¯s too late to say anything now, and the success has been wasted.
What weapon did the enemy use when he fell to the ground? Why is it so powerful?
Unfortunately, they had no time to think about this problem, and now their opponents launched another attack.
Hey! Oops!
In the direction of the Gurkha Regiment, uniform chants sounded.
Then, the stopped musket started shooting again.
By this time, the two sides had been fighting for half an hour, and the Iroquois side had already lost more than 10,000 people.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Iroquois. Although they still maintain an advantage in numbers, no one can say that this advantage can be maintained forever.
What¡¯s more, the enemy also used a weapon they had never seen before, and it was extremely powerful.
Therefore, the Iroquois, who were highly motivated to fight, were gradually waking up from their madness at this moment.
The enemy is really too powerful. If the situation continues like this, then all of them will definitely be here.
Such thoughts all arise in the minds of the Iroquois people invariably.
They started to back off.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The gunfire of the Gurkha Regiment was loud, which added a lot of pressure to the Iroquois.
Run!
???????????????????? Boom!
I don¡¯t know who shouted, and then the Iroquois army began to disperse.
These people run awayHe was running in all directions, not running in one direction at all.
"My lord, the enemy is scattered in the east, west, north and south. In which direction should we pursue the enemy?"
Seeing the Iroquois begin to disperse, the adjutant asked Sharma.
"Don't worry about the ones in the south. They are looking for death when they run that way. We can naturally kill them when we return to the army. There is the sea to the east, and those who can't run far. We will chase the enemies in the east first, deal with them, and then chase them counterclockwise to the north. That¡¯s the enemy.¡±
At such a time, it is obviously inappropriate to divide the troops.
And he now has no extra troops to allocate, so he can only choose one enemy to pursue.
But this is no longer a big problem for Sharma and others.
After the Iroquois fought with them this time, Sharma believed that they would never have the courage to fight them again.
Therefore, these Iroquois can be solved as long as they give Sharma a little time.
"Really, it seems that it will take some time to eliminate these Iroquois. How much I want to deal with them all at once, and then go to Quebec to have a good rest."
Sharma said helplessly to the adjutant beside him.
"I also want to rest. We have been out for a long time. But our mission is to eliminate these Iroquois. If we do not eliminate them, we will not be able to complete the mission."
After hearing what the adjutant said, Sharma sighed helplessly.
What else can be done? Keep pursuing.
As the order to pursue was issued, the Gurkha Regiment began to pursue the Iroquois who wanted to flee east. (To be continued.
