Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 174
Countless soldiers woke up from their sleep, and when they rushed out of their beds with guns, the Spaniards had reached the outside of the tent.
“Prepare…” The old man who was in charge of the order was pulled by the voice of the soldier, and all the soldiers stood in a row.
Then they raised their muskets at the British soldiers who were running in a panic.
“Fire!”
Colonel Fidel roared and gave the order.
“Fire…”
Orders travel far and wide in the silent morning.
bang bang bang…
This attack was a bit too sudden and completely exceeded Burton’s expectations. In his mind, the Spaniards just wanted to use them to explore the way, but they found nothing at the moment, so the Spaniards started, completely looking for No reason.
The Spaniards attacked along the river from the north. Although their camps belonged to the highlands, they were easy to defend and difficult to attack in terms of geographical location.
There was a cliff behind them, and the only way they could retreat was a waterfall. A place where the road is rugged and not covered by the jungle is tantamount to a living target.
“Throw the bomb!”
The Spanish soldiers took out the bombs from the box in an orderly manner, ignited the leads, and threw them towards the direction of the camp.
In the monolithic and dust splashes, the order is a little more chaotic.
“Everyone stays calm and finds cover by themselves to fight back!”
Burton hid behind a tree and was beaten so hard that he couldn’t hold his head up. At a time when everyone was slumbering, the soldiers couldn’t find their officers, and many of them hurried without even putting on their clothes. Find cover.
It is a very stupid act to find a bunker to fight back by yourself, because the muskets of this era are slow to load, have low precision, and have no orderly firing in rows. Not so much.
The soldiers in front pushed them up, and a chaotic self-fighting attack did knock down a lot of Spaniards, but in the subsequent firepower vacuum, many people were killed.
“Everyone speeds up and forms a queue!”
Burton drew soldiers from the south of the camp, then urged two simple fire formations to return fire.
The sound of gunshots was incessant in the camp, disturbing the names of many birds and beasts. Thousands of birds were flying in the entire jungle, and the beasts roared one after another.
“Help! I was shot, my leg…”
“Quick, pull him back…”
After a soldier fell on a wooden frame clutching his legs, bullets flew from his head like a scythe of death.
“shooting!”
They formed a fierce fire to fight back, and at this moment, two soldiers rushed up and dragged the wounded and screaming soldiers back.
But this was only a short counter-attack. More soldiers were directly killed by bullets. Burton glanced at the number of soldiers. As far as he could see, there were less than 100 soldiers.
In the short half-hour confrontation, more than 20 soldiers had fallen under the enemy’s guns and attacks.
The fierce firepower of the Spaniards made Burton realize a problem, that is, the number of enemies is completely wrong, and the Spanish reinforcements have arrived!
“Betke, where did the people you bring go!”
This camp is not big, the smoke of the exchange of fire is full of smoke, mixed with the splash of mud and shrapnel, and the camp is in chaos.
Fidel looked at the stalemate and was a little dissatisfied. He felt that with his own numbers, he should defeat these enemies in a short period of time, but the British were not as weak as he imagined, and they have resisted until now.
“Pull the cannon out for me!”
He stood on the high ground, overlooking the entire battle situation, as if staying out of the way.
The four soldiers marched forward from under the hillside, dragging a cannon that they had removed from the ship, and this time it was the trump card.
Because of their rush, they didn’t carry too much, just one door, but now it’s enough to control the battle.
“Load up ammo!”
The adjutant commanded, and then adjusted the angle of the cannon, about 300 meters, to ensure that it would not fall on the top of their own people.
“Fire!”
boom!
The lead was ignited, and a sixteen-pound iron bullet gushed out, resounding through the sky.
click…
The wooden camp was as fragile as paper from the shells, and the tumbling iron bullets knocked down a wooden post, causing the soldiers above to fall and overwhelm more soldiers.
“Watch out for avoidance!”
A soldier stared at the collapsed post and shouted in despair because he had no room to hide.
“They have cannons! Be careful to avoid…”
Soldiers relied on simple firewood piles for cover, but the enemy advanced layer by layer, making their space even smaller.
At this time, Wilson was breathing under the wooden low wall. They had been on the front line. In the British counterattack, he lost ten sailors, and even his own hat disappeared in the bullets. .
Many Spaniards began to compress forward with the help of the cover of firepower, because they knew that the hand-to-hand battle was about to begin, and the British had no more gunpowder.
“charge!”
A new round of charging orders has been issued. The terrain and obstacles in the camp are too complicated. They want to completely drive the British out of the camp.
The Spanish soldiers, mixed with pirates, began to run, and they needed to reach a new shooting location.
“Everyone is ready to reload!”
Burton watched the rushing crowd without blinking, even though he already knew he was running out of ammunition.
The first fire echelon composed of thirty soldiers stood there, watching the approaching crowd, without panic, they were the most elite British Royal Navy soldiers.
The tents in the middle of the camp had long since formed an open space due to the shooting of bullets and artillery strikes. Those Spaniards lined up neatly and then stopped at a distance of less than twenty meters.
“Everyone stop charging and raise their guns!”
Even though they had seen the British raise their muskets, they did not panic and obeyed the command.
The dark muzzle is pointed at the Spaniards, and the best fire range has been reached at this moment.
“Fire!”
Burton shouted.
bang bang bang…
Intensive gunfire ~www.mtlnovel.com~ accompanied by a lot of gunpowder smoke, bullets hit the flesh and blood, and one third of the Spanish charging soldiers fell instantly, but they did not flinch at all, and the follow-up people filled up vacant seats, and stared at the Brits.
“Prepare… to fire!”
The commanding officer raised his machete and gave orders with a roar.
But this sound was hidden in the explosion of the artillery.
bang bang bang…
More gunshots and gun smoke echoed in the air, and Burton’s men suffered heavy casualties, but they did not flinch.
After losing the obstacle, this is the most naked head-to-head confrontation in this era, lining up to be shot, and this comes from this.
