C533 SAFE (1/2)
The efforts of the 30 snipers were of great use, but their strength was far from enough in the pursuit of the tens of thousands of people. When the artillery of the Manchu soldiers joined in the battle, the number of casualties began to skyrocket.
After all, the fleeing soldiers only had two legs. No matter how much they ran, they could not outrun the speed of the cannons.
Soon, casualties spread among the snipers. Ye Qiu watched as the locust tree and grass hut, which were hundreds of years old, were blasted away. A hat that was unique to the new army, flew out from the smoke and dust.
”Damnit …” Since there was no point in sacrificing them, the brothers could only retreat … The brothers of the Green Camp have increased their speed … ” One of the snipers jumped out from his hiding place and fired while retreating with the rebel soldiers. The heavily injured players had no choice but to give up.
”Wuwuwu …” Brothers, I'm sorry... When I get back, I will kill more Purging Demons to avenge all of you … ” Countless soldiers looked at the struggling brothers in the pool of blood behind them, crying their hearts out.
”Hurry up and leave, it's too dangerous right now …” Ye Qiu and the others dragged the fallen soldiers and retreated to the east. At this time, from the easternmost area of the sea, another wave of gunshots rang out. The French warships had finally adjusted their positions and began bombarding the Industrial Zones.
The cannons were destined to be the kings in this era's war. The two frigate s did not carry much ammunition, but at the same time, there were at least fifty cannons firing at the same time.
”Madman, you are all madmen …” The western merchant boat hurriedly took up anchor to dodge the attack, but no matter how fast they were, they would not be able to escape. Whether it was the Asian or the Europeans, they had all become targets of abuse under the attacks of the flowering bomb.
”Evacuation... ”Everyone, evacuate...” The wharf was filled with people crawling about randomly. The new army struggled and dodged amidst the gunfire, evacuating the trapped people one by one.
However, the biggest loophole of the Industrial Zones was the coastal area. Because Xiao Letian had not gotten the time to arm the pier just now, the shore defense cannon had not even hit the foundation of the wall. It was completely helpless against the enemy's artillery attack.
Not only did the shore defense cannons not exist, there were only two field gun, which were military sample sent by the American Carnegie Steel Company. They were prepared to be copied in the future in the military factory and there were only dozens of artillery shells, so it was impossible for them to fight against two frigate.
At this distance, there was no need to aim at all. After two rounds of bombardment, the Industrial Zones was already surrounded by black smoke.
It had only been two years since the Qing Ting had agreed to build the Tanggu Industrial Special Zone, and it was not even completed yet. All the buildings were at the stage of laying the foundations, and facing the French warships, the people of the Special Zone had no choice but to hide.
Fortunately, there were a lot of reinforced concrete structures here that could provide people with a place to hide. Thus, there weren't too many casualties.
The attack from the French pirates reminded Ye Qiu and the others that they couldn't delay any longer. If they could save even one, they would save the rest. The rest of the wounded could only leave it to fate.
The wounded soldiers of the Green Camp knew that they did not have long to live. They waved their arms and shouted to their comrades who had lived together with them before, ”Let's go, don't worry about us … ”Life and death are both life and death. Our path has come to an end …” Live well! ”
Ye Qiu and the others finally came out. They were protecting the last group of rebel soldiers as they rushed into the trench. At this moment, the King's Manor was already occupied by the cleaning troops.
, whose mouth was swollen like a sausage, rode his horse over joyfully. Seeing the mess on the ground, he took out his whip and whipped his subordinates.
”Trash, they are all trash … This is the result of your battle? This is your battle result? Just a little bit? What is the use of the court for... Charge up and trample these traitors to death! ”
Maylor brought his subordinates and rushed towards the wounded soldiers, the bowl-sized hooves trampling on the ground making a rumbling noise.
”Lowly citizens. Lowly citizens. All of them are lowly citizens … stomp them to death! ” Maylor who had a hideous face had completely transformed into the God of Slaughter of Hell, with a herd of horse hooves rushing towards the injured under his command.
”Maylor, your ancestor …” Green Battalion was flung into the air and then smashed to the ground by the horse's head. Soon after, a wave of horse hooves stomped on him and the horse turned into a pool of red meat paste.
”Bastard …” They are all animals! ” The Forces nouvelles soldiers in the trench was filled with righteous indignation. Seeing their compatriots die tragically, this grief and indignation could not be described with words.
Pow pow pow pow pow! Spear fire flew over, but it was all too late. Under the trampling of over a hundred war horses, not a single injured soldier survived, and they were all turned into dust.
Maylor turned his horse and rode away from the sniper's line of sight, he fiercely cursed, ”This is what happens to traitors … Men, go to the TIANJIN Wei and transfer the files to me. I have killed all the bastards of the Da Gu Kou's cannon. All the males and females have been killed and they have all been sold as slaves … ”Go, do it immediately!”
Maylor laughed sinisterly as he glared at the battle trenches from afar like a venomous snake. ”Now that even the foreign invaders have started to fight, I want to see how long you guys can continue to fight for, pei …”
Maylor withdrew his troops, while at the same time, the gunshots above the ocean became even louder. Not long later, Tie Toutuo brought a large group of Western Engineers and retreated to the trench area, since this place was protected by a tall concrete wall, making it the safest place.
