The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 488 To Grab The Brit's Tail

While the British mercenaries mobilized reinforcements and continued to enter the battlefield, the second thousand-man team of the Qin Army's firearms troops also arrived at Shangwang Village.

The commanders of both sides quickly put reinforcements into the battle, and gunshots rang out more frequently in this small mountain village that was originally dead and dilapidated.

After the first round of fighting, both sides had a new understanding of each other's strength, and both regarded each other as a difficult enemy from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, the battle became fiercer than ever.As the intensity of the war increased, casualties on both sides also continued to increase rapidly.

The two commanders of the Qin Army were secretly shocked by the combat effectiveness of this British mercenary.

As a result, he became a little more cautious in command. He didn't open up and dare to fight as he did when he wiped out the Japanese pirates and attacked the Dashun Army in the past. Instead, he began to become cautious and cautious at every step.

In contrast, the British mercenary leader David Copperfield and his officers were also extremely depressed.

They have never fought such a depressing battle. In all previous battles, no matter what kind of country or tribe the opponent is, the elite troops will quickly collapse under their incomparably sharp firearms.

They once created a glorious record of using a 100-man firearms force to defeat an opponent's 3000-man elite force.

But this time, their previous glorious records seemed to have become a joke in front of the opposite army with advanced firearms like them.

Qin Jun was under a lot of pressure, and their pressure was also even greater.

At this time, David Copperfield had completely given up his plan to attack the Qin army.

The best chance has been lost, and now that he can escape unscathed, it is already a very good ending.

The mercenary army under him followed him to fight north and south, and traveled to many places in the world. Countless people died under their hands, and the land measured by their footsteps was too vast to calculate.

It can be said that everyone here is a good player, but seeing these former good players being shot down one by one in front of him, his heart feels like bleeding.

He is not cherishing the lives of these people, but because it is because of these people that he, an originally wanted criminal, can have a place in the upper class of the British Empire, and he can be seen by those proud and arrogant nobles. his worth.

Without this mercenary force, his value would be greatly reduced, and he would even face the end of being abandoned or even dying.

Naturally, this was something he didn't want to see.

And not only David Copperfield himself, but even the soldiers under him who were defiant have become cautious from their previous self-confidence, even with a trace of fear.

After all, the advantage they were most proud of had been completely lost.

Naturally, they can no longer become arrogant and arrogant. What they are most concerned about now is when can they retreat?Can you keep your own life when you retreat.

As for the sneak attack mission before, let it go to hell.

"John, listen, the enemy in front of us is very tricky. Their weapons are as advanced and terrifying as ours, so our previous mission must be temporarily abandoned.

Now we need to retreat, and you need to take your soldiers to cover our retreat, understand? "

David Copperfield felt his own scalp burn as a bullet flew over the low wall where he was hiding.

He hurriedly lowered his body and whispered to the black John next to him.

This devil who has always killed people without blinking an eye, and who can go to the dragon's lake and tiger's lair for the sake of profit, has the heart to retreat at this moment.

When the black John heard this, his face immediately turned darker, although others could hardly see it.

He said dissatisfiedly: "David, you are asking me to die. The enemy in front of us is not the rabble before. You know it. This is very difficult to do."

David Copperfield stared at the black John with gloomy eyes and was silent for a moment, before finally saying: "John, your share can be increased by half in the future. I will do what I say."

The black John shook his head and said, "One percent, otherwise, I can't successfully cover your retreat."

A murderous intent flashed deep in David Copperfield's eyes, but then disappeared, nodded and said, "I promise you, I hope you can come back alive, my dear John."

After my request was met, the black John smiled proudly: "David, I will not let you down, I will let our enemies see how powerful I am John. I will blow their heads with the gun in my hand .”

Just as the British mercenaries were about to retreat, the two commanders who arrived first from the Qin army were also discussing tactics.

"The enemy's weapons are indeed advanced beyond our imagination. However, from the exchange of fire just now, we can see that the enemy's muskets are similar to ours in terms of range, accuracy and shooting speed, so if we continue to fight like this, It is very likely that it will end in a stalemate.

The general's request to us is to stick to this group of enemies and not let them escape, otherwise, once the tiger is released, the consequences will be disastrous. "

"That's right, and according to the general's previous judgment, this group of enemies is planning to launch a sneak attack when our army is unprepared. Now that their traces have been exposed, the sneak attack will definitely not be possible. Therefore, they are very likely to be preparing to retreat now. We must Make a move to get through this village to catch them by the tail and not let them escape."

"In this way, you take your thousand-man team and continue to shoot at the enemy head-on to attract the enemy's firepower and attention. I will take my men and horses and detour from the east of the village to see if we can outflank the enemy. Behind you. Also, the dozen or so light mortars are left for you to command, I believe they will be able to teach those damn Brits some painful lessons, let them know that this land is not something they can come to if they want."

After the two commanders agreed, they quickly started to act.

The 800 Musketeers of the second thousand-man team quickly began to outflank the British mercenaries from the east side of Shangwang Village.

The remaining 200 artillerymen also began to build artillery positions, adjusted the shooting angle, and prepared to start the first round of test firing.

According to the previous battles, several places where the enemy's firepower is relatively dense have been roughly estimated.

After roughly visual inspection, the artillery commander quickly issued an order to adjust the shooting angle to the artillerymen under him.

After the adjustment of the shooting elements, the commander ordered to fire.

As the artillery commander's saber slashed down, more than a dozen shells rose into the air, pierced through the air, made a sharp cry in the air, and fell towards the head of the British mercenary position.
