Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 937

[Chapter 937]

“Captain, they are digging a trench.”

Town of Holland.

Zhao Xu’s order was issued, and when the marines began to dig trenches, the officer beside Jon said a little uneasy.

He has stayed in many colonies and participated in many battles with the natives of the colonies.

But never a native army ever mastered their methods of fighting.

It is precisely for this reason that they are full of contempt for the natives of the colony and do not regard them as the same kind.

Therefore, he was deeply shocked after seeing the Dasong army digging standard trench fortifications.

This kind of shock is probably the same as when the navy saw the Dasong steamship.

“I’m not blind, I can see.” Jon looked 500 meters away.

This is exactly the starting position for the digging of the trench by the army of Dasong.

He thought the same as the officer, but he couldn’t show any surprise at this time.

Because it will shake the morale of the militia.

“Even moles can dig burrows. They are just learning from us. But you all know that the native army will disperse like birds and beasts whenever they encounter setbacks, so don’t worry about it.” Jon said loudly on purpose.

Stick to Hedland, this is Oliver’s order to him.

If he doesn’t implement it, he will be shot even if he goes back.

But he didn’t understand how difficult this task was until he saw more than 20,000 troops.

Right now, they only have 3,000 rifled guns, if they resist this large army with superior equipment than them.

Now, he can only fight this battle as a soldier.

For the next three days, he could only watch helplessly as the trenches of the Dasong army got closer and closer to the town of Holland.

From 500 meters to 300 meters, then from 300 meters to 50 meters, and even close to 30 meters in some places.

And this position almost made them feel very uncomfortable.

During this period, in order to prevent the opponent from digging trenches, he sent death row prisoners to launch three charges.

But these death row prisoners were shot to death before they rushed to the trench.

“Pan Chang, it’s time to launch an attack.” Zhao Xu said to Pan Chang seeing that the trench position had taken shape.

He didn’t have much time to waste on the Australian mainland.

This time, his visit to the Australian mainland is more of a symbolic meaning.

That is, he set foot on this continent himself, and will take over here in the future.

After taking over the entire Australian continent, he will give the continent a new name.

The same goes for other colonies captured.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Pan Chang nodded, and then he gave the order to attack.

Due to the lightness and simplicity of the pack, no field guns and artillery were carried.

So this battle can only rely on grenades, which is one of the reasons for digging trenches.

After his order was issued, the Marines in the front trench immediately threw the grenade they had prepared.

After throwing one, they picked up the other from the front and threw it.

In a short time, each grenadier threw six grenades.

These grenades flew into the air like migratory locusts, rushing towards the trenches of the Britons.

“Boom boom boom…” In

an instant, the trench in front of the British was covered in flames.

At the same time, a clear scream came from the Briton’s trench.

“Is this the grenade of Dasong’s army?” Jon’s back was soaked in cold sweat.

He learned from the information sent that the Dae Song Army possessed such firearms.

But seeing it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.

Once, they also had grenadiers in Britain.

But the grenades they throw are huge, and they have to choose strong men in the army.

Even so, the grenade can be thrown about 30 meters at most.

But now, Dasong soldiers threw such a grenade over with ease.

“Captain, the soldiers in the front trench suffered heavy casualties. Half of them were dead, and 30% were injured and unable to fight.” At this moment, an officer whose face was scratched by shrapnel ran over and said anxiously.

When Jon heard this, his heart became even colder.

The British regular army is in the front trench.

“Kill!”

As soon as the officer’s voice fell, suddenly there was a loud cry of killing on the battlefield.

It turned out that the Marines crawled out of the trench and rushed towards the Britons’ trench.

They knew very well the power of the wave of grenades just now, and they wanted to take advantage of the gap to kill and injure a large number of soldiers in the front row of trenches to charge.

When the frontal Marine soldiers launched a charge.

The marine soldiers on both sides aimed their guns at the trenches of the British, and shot immediately as soon as the British soldiers showed their heads.

They are covering the charge of the front soldiers.

The series of tactical actions of the Great Song army made Jon unable to react at all.

Even the British soldiers in the trench did not respond.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Dasong soldiers crossed a distance of 30 meters, or even 50 meters in just eight or nine seconds, jumped into their trenches, and tore a hole in their trench defenses.

Although many soldiers were trying to shoot, they were suppressed by the cover of Dasong soldiers.

While dodging shots, it is difficult to accurately target the charging soldiers of the other side.

This made their lack of firepower even worse.

And when more and more soldiers jumped into their trenches, something even more tragic happened.

More grenades flew in the sky.

Dasong soldiers held muskets and killed all directions like rhinos rushing towards them.

At this time, their rifled guns were even more clumsy.

When the soldiers were unable to load the bullets due to nervousness, the muskets of the Dasong soldiers kept firing as if they did not need to be loaded.

For a time, casualties rapidly expanded.

“Block them, stop them now,” Jon yelled.

He had the officer order the prisoners in the trench to rush over and fight Daesong soldiers in the trench.

It caused the British residents in the town to rush forward and fight.

Not long after, a large number of Britons poured in from all directions of the trench, and the battlefield became a mess.

“Launch an all-out attack!”

Zhao Xu and Pan Chang have been watching the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu said coldly.

He has no sympathy for any of the British inhabitants because they are invaders.

The only difference between them and the British soldiers is that the British soldiers cause massacres all over the world.

And they provide it with ammunition supplies in the rear.

Since they feel at ease in carrying out massacres all over the world, why should he have the kindness of a woman.

What’s more, they are all felons and their descendants.

Now, the British have transported a large number of young and strong back to Tianzhu to arm them.

If they are given a chance to enter the Great Song, they will definitely not be lenient when they start a massacre.

Thinking of this, he added, “Don’t show mercy, since you are a sharp sword, let the enemy see how sharp you are.”

Pan Chang nodded, waved his hand fiercely, and the messenger immediately went to the trench.

Not long after, soldiers from all over the Marine Corps rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the town of Holland.
