Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1094
“Boom boom…”
A dense burst of bullets hit the bulging sand in front of San Yuzhu, which represented the response of the coalition officer.
“Really toast, not eat or drink fine wine.” Chang Yuzhu spit out the sand in his mouth and shouted, “Kill them for me!”
His voice fell, and the machine gun on the sand pond spit out flames again, and the rain of bullets instantly covered the trench. At the same time, the mortar unit no longer had any concerns, and shot one shell after another at the trench not far away.
The thunder on the battleship frowned, and he asked San Yuzhu to do the trick to persuade him to surrender. It would be the best result for him to win Calcutta without any effort, but now it seems impossible.
“The whole army strikes!” Lei Ming gave the order coldly. Since the coalition forces are stubborn, he is increasing his attacking chips.
At his order, groups of soldiers got off the battleship, and the dense troop carriers rushed to the coast.
Put down the soldiers who landed, and the battleship group will leave the port of Calcutta. After landing, these soldiers will cooperate with them to seize the port so that they can unload the field guns on the ship.
And this time there is still a large number of supplies on the battleship. Occupying the dock means they have a supply base.
At the same time, the coalition soldiers were being crushed by the fierce firepower of the empire.
Butlin shrank in the dirt cave and his face was pale. The shooting was his order just now. He was afraid that the imperial propaganda would completely collapse the chaotic military spirit.
It was just the result of his order in exchange, but he was not happy at all.
He has experienced wars of all sizes in Europe, but he has never encountered such fierce artillery.
The artillery shells used by the Empire are all powerful explosive shells, and this kind of shells will explode as long as they touch the ground, and they are also very accurate.
The soldiers of the coalition are all from Europe, and they still stay in the previous array shooting, solid bullet stage, it is difficult for them to adapt to this kind of shells.
If there is no trench protection, I am afraid that the soldiers of the coalition army would have been scattered long ago.
He was thinking. At this moment, there was a commotion. An officer rushed into the dirt cave and shouted, “The grape man surrendered!”
Butlin heard this from head to toe. Although he is the commander of the coalition forces, he can only command the British red shirts. There is no way for him to directly command the armies of other countries. He can only look at their command if he disobeys. official.
Panicked, Butlin braved the danger of being hit by a cannonball and showed his head from the trench to look towards the Portuguese guard position. Sure enough, at this time, the Portuguese army officer was holding a white flag and leading the soldiers out of the trench.
In this coalition, the Portuguese have the least soldiers and have the least interest in Asia, so the morale of the Portuguese soldiers is also the lowest.
A trace of despair flashed in his eyes, and Butlin murmured: “The coalition is over.” Because once someone surrenders, the heart of the coalition must be shaken by the whole.
As he thought, as the Portuguese soldiers walked out of the trench, soldiers continued to climb out of the trench to join their team.
These soldiers are French, Dutch, Spanish and British.
On the sea, the coalition soldier with the white flag thrown down his weapon and raised his hands was seen by thunder. He suddenly laughed, “Hey, from these surrendered soldiers, you can see that the coalition is just a strong support. Give them a little pressure and it will be easy to win Kolkata.”
Liu Chen stood by Thunder’s side. This time, he cooperated with Thunder. He said: “As long as you launch an assault, they will be finished. Now that the soldiers of the coalition are like this, the mercenaries recruited by the United Kingdom must have no intention of fighting. , And the coalition’s looting of food and grass will inevitably make these mercenaries dissatisfied. They are all from the clan near Kolkata.”
“I think so too, now it’s time to end this farce.” The thunderous expression became firm, and then let the messenger send his instructions.
On the beach, San Yuzhu first got the news. He said to the trumpeter: “Blow the charge!”
“Dididi…”
The melodious trumpet resounded across the battlefield in an instant.
I heard the trumpet. At this time, the imperial soldiers got up from the ground and screamed and rushed to the trench position of the coalition forces.
There was a shout of killing resounding on the battlefield, and Butlin’s heart tightened, which meant that the Empire launched the final offensive.
is the same as the bayonet fight after the arrays fire each other. This will determine the victory or defeat on the battlefield.
“Brothers, fight with them!”
While the imperial soldiers charged, the artillery stopped, and Butlin shouted and led the British soldiers into the trench from the dirt hole.
Now his only hope is to arouse the courage of allied soldiers to fight through the brave combat of the British army.
It’s just that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Imperial soldiers.
When he just rushed out of the dirt hole, suddenly sticks fell from the sky, and these sticks exploded after landing.
The British soldiers who entered the trench were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
And just when they were blown up in a daze, the imperial soldiers suddenly appeared on the edge of the trench, raised their muskets and shot at the remaining soldiers.
Facing the imperial soldiers coming in like a tide, the soldiers in the trench finally despair.
The mercenaries collapsed first. The Indian soldiers dropped their muskets and fled to Calcutta behind the trench positions.
They didn’t want to kill these brutal British people.
The mercenaries occupy most of the seemingly huge coalition forces, and the rush of so many mercenaries has a great impact on the morale of the coalition soldiers.
“This battle can’t be fought anymore. If it is fought, it will be killed. I want to go home! I want to go home!”
A soldier’s desperate cry suddenly sounded in the Spanish position.
With this voice, more and more Spanish soldiers became agitated, not because they were not brave enough, but because they did not see the hope of victory in this war.
Even if they repel the Imperial soldiers, how can they~~The Imperial warships are on the sea, and their navy cannot break through the blockade.
In the hysterical atmosphere, the Spanish soldiers finally couldn’t bear it. When one soldier dropped his musket and raised his hands, the remaining Spanish soldiers climbed up the trench and surrendered, followed by the Dutch and the French.
“Fifty thousand European coalition forces, a total of 30,000 people in the four countries, and we have 20,000 people, after deducting casualties, now we only have more than 10,000 people. There is no hope, General, surrender.”
A British official said to Butlin in a pleading tone that this time the empire had 30,000 soldiers on the battlefield.
Plus the empire has more advanced weapons than them, they have no chance of winning.
Watching the imperial soldiers continue to seize their trenches with absolute superiority, Butrin closed his eyes in despair.
For a long time, he said slowly: “surrender, if I can return to Europe, I am willing to bear the blame. You can’t blame you for this failure, but our weapons and equipment are seriously behind the enemy!”)!!
