The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 590 The British Army Who Knocked Out His Front Teeth
After resting for half an hour, David ordered his troops to prepare to attack the city.

Another British army in charge of reinforcements has also arrived at the designated location.

At this time, Yu also slowly laughed, and stopped completely after a while.Although the clouds in the sky were still thick and gloomy, it made David laugh.

"Look, Karl, God's still on our side. Send the order down and let the artillery fire."

David said triumphantly to the adjutant beside him.

Soon, the British field artillery fired, and David looked at the defenders hiding on the top of the city through the binoculars, and he was even more proud.

"Tell the boys in the artillery to relax and don't shoot out the shells so quickly, or the boys in the infantry will kick their butts." David said with a proud smile while observing the situation at the top of the city with binoculars .

The British artillery is actually only a field artillery for field battles, not suitable for siege.David also knew this in his heart, but his plan was to use cannons to destroy the will and courage of the defenders, and finally use infantry to occupy the city.

Moreover, even with heavy artillery, it would be extremely difficult to transport it over the muddy road in this rainy day.Moreover, the reinforcements from their country did not carry heavy artillery this time.

The only thing that can be called heavy artillery may be the large artillery installed on their warships, but there is no way to dismantle them for use.

On the top of the city, Hei Xiaowu, the garrison officer who was in charge of guarding, complained bitterly to Zhou Ze, the commander of the second regiment of the second army, who was standing at the lookout post on the tower and watching the movements of the British troops below the city with binoculars: "Commander Zhou, The British's artillery fired too fiercely, and many of my brothers were killed or injured. This is not the way to go."

Zhou Ze put down the binoculars, looked at Hei Xiaobudao and said coldly: "Heiwei, you were so scared just after the British fired. If the British fire a few more shots, are you planning to abandon the city and surrender?"

Originally looking at the baby-faced Zhou Ze, Hei Xiaowu, who was born as a local squire, was not very scared, but at this moment, he felt a sudden awe-inspiring attack from the other party, his face tightened immediately, and he hurriedly apologized with a smile: " Commander Zhou, of course it won’t happen. The villain is loyal to the court and His Royal Highness the Regent, so how could he do something like surrender to a foreign race? I just haven’t gone through such a battle, so I came to ask you for advice.”

"Hmph, there is nothing better. Now that I am in charge of guarding Wenzhou City, I will be in charge of everything. The British are just a deterrent before the official siege. There is nothing to be afraid of. Their artillery can't hit this place." Wenzhou City, let your people behave as flustered as possible, and you don’t need to worry about other things." Zhou Ze ordered coldly.

Hei Xiaowu hurriedly agreed, and hurried out of the tower to make arrangements.

He just saw that the burly guard behind the head of the group had put his hand on the handle of the pistol at his waist. If he behaved badly, he might collapse himself on the spot.

Rumor has it that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent in the capital is very murderous, saying that if you kill someone's family, you will kill your whole family. Judging from the appearance of these generals and soldiers, it is true, and it really is the same line.

David looked at the panicked figures running around like headless flies through the binoculars, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at these cowardly guys, they have already been scared by our fierce artillery fire and lost their battles." Courage. I believe we can sit in the city and enjoy a delicious dinner before dark, and the food in Zhongzhou is the most mouth-watering."

"Order the artillery to continue firing for 10 minutes, and the infantry regiment will launch an attack after 10 minutes." David ordered loudly.

The British cannons continued to roar for 10 minutes before finally stopping.

At this time, in the field of vision of David's telescope, the city of Wenzhou was already covered with rubble and corpses, and not even a running figure could be seen.

This made him heartbroken, and he waved his binoculars triumphantly and said, "The enemy has already been terrified by our artillery fire. I believe that as long as we charge two more groups of infantry, no, even one wave can occupy this majestic city." gone."

Wenzhou City can only be regarded as a medium-to-lower city in the Zhongzhou Continent at best, but it is definitely regarded as a heroic city in the distant British Empire.

After all, most of the cities in the British Empire are pitifully small and pitifully low.

"Order the first infantry regiment to attack."

Soon, a regiment on the infantry front that the British army had prepared long ago shouted and rushed towards the city with a gun in hand.

Among them, there were also some dark or tan soldiers, carrying the siege ladder and rushing forward together.

In the absence of heavy artillery, the British had no choice but to adopt this combination of ancient and modern siege methods.

However, these ladder soldiers are all soldiers of other ethnicities, and it is impossible for the noble Germanic nation to do such a thing.

The British soldiers rushed forward, but there was still silence on the top of the city. This made the British soldiers even more believe that the defenders were frightened by their own artillery fire, so they became more courageous and charged. faster.

David watched this scene through the binoculars, and the smile on his face grew wider.

In his opinion, this siege battle went so smoothly and unexpectedly that there was basically no suspense.

But just when the British soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city and were about to climb up with ladders, countless gray figures suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and quickly threw black unknown objects to the bottom of the city.

The sudden change made the British soldiers a little bit unresponsive, and there was a moment of slowness.

Those black unknown objects fell directly into the densely populated British army below the city, and the sound of booming and booming sounded continuously.

Accompanied by a puff of smoke, piles of British soldiers fell to the ground in an instant like mowing grass, and even a few broken arms and limbs were flying in the air.

After the first round of grenades caused huge casualties to the British and a momentary delay in action, the soldiers of the second regiment on the top of the city began to shoot at the bewildered British soldiers below the city with their rifles.

And with the shooting of the National Defense Forces, the defenders also began to attack the British at the same time with the stones on the top of the city, the gold juice used to defend the city, and rolling logs.

The sudden attack caused the enthusiastic swarming British to suffer heavy casualties in a short period of time. A regiment of more than 1000 people suffered nearly half of the casualties.

The British soldiers, who were lucky enough to survive, uttered panic shouts and began to run backwards.

David, who was still waiting to see the success of the first regiment, saw this scene through the binoculars, trembled and almost fell off his horse.
