Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 790

[Chapter 790 Evil]

“Kill!”

Without any fear on his face, Wang Qiao picked up his bayonet and began to fight with the mercenary general.

The bayonet hit each other, and he felt that the Western Turks were stronger than the powerful soldiers.

However, the royal army has always paid attention to food and training, they are strong, and they are also worthwhile.

The two fought back and forth for five or six rounds in the narrow trench.

Wang Qiao deliberately showed a flaw, and the mercenary general made an upward movement and flew the rifled gun in Wang Qiao’s hand.

At this moment, Wang Qiao rushed forward, threw the mercenary general to the ground, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and counted on the mercenary general’s chest.

The mercenary general cursed loudly, but Wang Qiao couldn’t understand the opponent’s bird language at all, and stabbed him so hard that the opponent died.

At the same time, the soldiers who followed him almost cleaned up the enemy soldiers in the trench.

He glanced at the corpses of the enemy soldiers on the ground, and shouted: “Pile up the corpses on the corridor.”

Under his order, some soldiers first threw a few grenades into the corridor.

Then the soldiers lifted up the enemy soldiers and threw them towards the corridor, blocking the corridor for a while.

“Brothers, their attack is weak, hold on and we will win.” Wang Qiao shouted.

A few times ago, the soldiers rushing up from the ditch behind were red-eyed, all looking desperate.

But after repeated fights, the morale of the soldiers who rushed up obviously declined.

The soldiers rushing over this time were obviously not so determined.

Obviously, although they did not win the first trench in the morning’s struggle, they caused many more casualties to the opponent than they did.

According to his estimation, their casualty ratio reached at least ten to one, or even twenty to one.

That is to say, if one soldier of the palace is injured or injured, ten soldiers of the other side will be injured or injured.

After Wangqiao occupied the trench, more Wangfu soldiers rushed from the beach to consolidate the first trench defense line.

at the same time.

In the eighth ditch on the river bank, Wang Xie and Luther were extremely angry.

Under their eyelids, the first trench, which was originally impregnable, was occupied by the opponent.

Now, the first trench is not only useless to them, but also provides defense for Yanzhou soldiers.

Passing the first ditch, they continued to advance towards the second ditch.

“Damn it, go and take back the first trench.” Luther cursed.

Five thousand of his mercenaries were killed and wounded yesterday.

Another three or four thousand people were lost in this morning’s battle.

They paid such a high price, but they only persisted for one morning, and the first trench was taken away by the opponent.

For him, this is simply a shame.

It’s just that he also vaguely understood that the quality of the opponent’s firearms and soldiers was much better than that of the powerful army.

Even their mercenaries are slightly inferior.

Because less than 20% of the more than 20,000 mercenaries are Western natives, and the rest are native soldiers from the Eastern lands.

During training, these native soldiers were treated differently from their western natives.

Therefore, they are not as strong as King Yan’s soldiers. In hand-to-hand combat, soldiers from the western lands can still fight back and forth with King Yan’s soldiers.

They are rarely able to win in the hands of King Yan’s soldiers.

Of course, in his opinion, the most important thing is the gun, the gap in the gun.

Although the flintlock has a range of 200 meters, the opponent’s musket has a longer range, and is often suppressed outside the range.

Coupled with the blooming bombs thrown by the opponent, they were suppressed and could not fully play.

“You three, lead the reserve team!” Wang Xie was equally anxious.

Hearing this, he gave orders to the three generals around him.

After Luther arrived in Wu State, in addition to teaching them some tactics, he also carried out some westernization reforms on their army.

One of them is to leave the reserve team when fighting.

These reserve teams do not participate in the battle, but rest in the rear, recharge their batteries, and send them immediately when the going is tight.

“Yes, General Wang.” Received Wang Xie’s order.

Each of the three generals led 2,000 people to attack the first ditch in three ways.

Soldiers in different trenches did not hold muskets, but a long knife in each hand.

The contention for trenches is more about hand-to-hand combat, and it is better to hold a gun than a knife.

There is more than one corridor in the middle of the trench, and they each touch the first trench from the corridor.

Seeing that the end of the corridor was blocked, they climbed up from the second ditch and jumped into the first ditch to fight.

But just as they climbed over the ditch, the soldiers of the royal family on the beach pulled the trigger.

One by one, the powerful soldiers were hit and fell on the trench.

There were also powerful soldiers who jumped into the first ditch, but the soldiers of the Wangfu had been waiting for it for a long time and immediately made a beehive.

On the hot air balloon, the three of Lu Chang saw that the first trench was gradually being controlled, and immediately threw the news down.

“Let the second batch of soldiers cross the river.” Zhao Xu ordered after seeing what Lu Chang had written.

Chang Wei had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately ordered the troop carrier to carry the soldiers to the south bank.

Immediately, Jiangbei’s boats headed towards the south bank of the river again, covering the entire river.

At this moment, the south bank was caught in a battle with the soldiers of the palace, and it was powerless to stop these troop carriers from landing.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the second batch of soldiers from the Wangfu boarded the beach.

They were more orderly than the first batch of soldiers.

Because the first batch of soldiers blocked the enemy’s counterattack, they won the whole team time.

The arrival of the second batch of soldiers immediately reversed the number of soldiers on the battlefield.

Soldiers, led by their respective generals, enter their respective positions and cooperate with the first batch of soldiers to attack.

However, as soon as they landed, the situation in Niutautan changed.

They saw the powerful troops and mercenaries in the trenches in the back row continue to withdraw.

As observed by the soldiers of the palace.

Wang Xie and Luther were indeed retreating.

After leaving more than 10,000 soldiers, the remaining 80,000 soldiers went to Jinling one after another.

“This is a small partial setback, but it doesn’t mean we’ve lost.” Luther said to the gloomy Wang Xie.

He was comforting him to prevent these powerful generals from losing confidence.

After a pause, he said: “Our troops in Jinling City are much stronger than here. The value of this battle is only to consume the opponent’s troops. In the second trench, they will no longer have the support of warships, and we still have to fight.” There are a lot of field artillery.”

In the Battle of Niutautan, he realized that he would be bombarded by the opponent’s sailing warships, so he left the field artillery and their field artillery in the second trench fortification to avoid being destroyed by the opponent.

Moreover, there is a river about 30 meters wide in front of the second trench, called Yuntai River.

This will effectively stop the attack of King Yan’s army.

Wang Xie nodded. This was only the first battle in the Jiangnan War.

In the future they may play ten or twenty more games.

If they fight game after game, sooner or later they will be able to drag King Yan down.

“As long as you keep King Yan in check, King Yan will die when our fleet and army from the Western Lands arrive.” Luther said again, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

The fact that the powerful clans mustered up the courage to fight against King Yan is partly the reason for this commitment.

Of course, that promise was a hoax.

If the clans really hold on, this promise might come true.

But if they can’t hold on, they will only deploy their troops in more important colonies.
