C2833 A bloody battle had broken out! (1/2)
sini was not a Shiqiao uplands after all, only a three-meter stone wall that was left behind during the Middle Ages.
Parallel trenches, interconnected trenches, bunkers for storing ammunition, the commander's lookout... Layers after layers of defensive webs had completely annihilated the once arrogant Austria Noble Regiment!
But since no one in the Chinese, including the Prussian staff, could tell that the French had made a surprise attack, the Chinese had been drinking merrily in the early hours of the night, and it was clear that they had not set up any fortifications.
With a medieval stone wall and a shallow ditch that barely touched his knees, he wanted to block ten thousand armed French Guard cavalry? This was simply a dream!
After paying the price of three thousand casualties, the biggest pile of explosives was ignited by the Death Soldiers.
Boom … An earth-shattering explosion shook the world. The pillar of smoke that was more than ten meters high was blasted open a five-meter wide hole in the city wall.
This huge gap had already collapsed all the way to the base, and the slope formed by the crushed rocks and dirt was just enough for the cavalry to break through!
More than fifty Chinese soldiers were killed on the city walls, their corpses along with the crushed stones and soil were buried in sini!
At that moment, there was a short three seconds of silence on the battlefield, followed by the excited roars of thousands of French soldiers like wild beasts!
”The city is broken!” The city was broken! ”Let's kill our way in …”
In Xiao Letian's eyes, the scene in front of him was like a dam draining water. The torrent of French cavalry s desperately rushed towards the five meter wide gap, and the Chinese soldier s on both sides of the gap in the wall shot downwards like they were hunting rabbits.
He didn't need to aim at all. At this moment, any random bolt could kill a French soldier, but there were just too many enemies. One person could charge into ten people.
Boom … Boom … Another two loud sounds rang out, and the walls of the east and north side of Sony Town were also blasted apart. This time, the French would no longer have to pounce on the city, and could only desperately rush into the town through the three gaps.
”Everyone retreat to the city wall... Top Building... ”We won't retreat, we won't retreat!” The last of the townspeople and soldiers on the street backed away as they fired.
This was a small town with a long history. After several hundred years of construction, the buildings here were all made of two or three storeys of stone. It was not a problem to hide three to four thousand people, let alone one or two thousand people.
The French cavalry who had rushed into the town was instantly stunned. They had originally thought that they would have to fight hand-to-hand, but who would have thought that they would be welcomed by the empty streets.
Suddenly there was a shout from above their heads, ”Shoot!” Beat these grandsons to death! ”Fire …”
Pah pah pah … There was the sound of glass shattering everywhere. Countless windows on the second and third floors were smashed open, and rifles were extended out, aiming at these cavalrymen and pulling the triggers.
Pah pah pah … The bullets killed French cavalry at a close distance. The imperial guards could not avoid the bullets rain above their heads and were knocked to the ground one after another.
”Counterattack …” The enemy is above us... ”Shoot …” In the chaos, the French opened fire hastily. However, without the protection of the houses, their counterattack could not cause much casualties.
”Damnit …” Get off your horse and rush in... Kill them all! ”
The French army, which had suffered heavy casualties, were furious. They jumped off their warhorses and kicked open the door, then began to clean the rooms one by one with their sabers in one hand and their pistols in another.
At this point in the battle, they could no longer borrow the strength of their horses. When they rushed into the house, they saw that the stairs leading to the second floor were piled with furniture. Rifle after rifle was aimed at them from the stairs.
”Fire …” ”Fire …” The soldiers who were guarding the upper levels of the houses began firing from above, causing this group of cavalrymen to wail and howl!
At this time, Alfred was also being escorted by his personal guards into the town.
