C2834 Broken City Bloodbath 2 (1/2)

This is how it is in Europe. Although people living in poverty tend to build houses out of wood and thatch, people who have only a little bit of condition are willing to build houses out of stone.

A small town like sini, from the Middle Ages all the way until now, had basically been upgraded from a thatched cottage in history to a small stone building.

The French were on the ground floor, so as long as the soldiers on the second floor destroyed the stairs, the fire would not be able to go on for a long time. Once the floor on the second floor was in danger, the defending soldiers could also move through the skylight.

The most important thing was that the leader had ordered to persevere for half an hour, and Sima Yun had doubled the amount of time he spent previously, which was one hour!

No one knew what would happen in an hour, but the Chinese Army was unconditionally obedient to their leader. No one would ask what would happen in an hour, they were only tenacious, resisting, and as silent and calm as a machine!

However, there were still more than 600 people who did not manage to escape. The remaining citizens of sini and Little Qian were not that calm.

Facing more and more French troops, the timid soldiers and civilians fell into despair. Some were crying while others were screaming hysterically!

”My God! There are more and more enemies, at least ten to twenty thousand! ”

”Surrender, we don't want to die …” ”I want to leave this place, let me go, I want to leave this place …”

”Scram!” The disheartened soldier turned around and wanted to escape down the stairs, but the Chinese soldier guard kicked him back. ”Scram!

How could the soldiers of the Belgium understand Chinese? He did not even know what these people were talking about.

Taking advantage of the soldiers being caught off guard, the defenceless soldier actually ran into a window and jumped straight down.

”I surrender …” I won't fight anymore, I'm from Belgium, not your enemy … ”

With a swoosh and a flash of white light, the last half of the retreating soldier's words were cut off from his neck by the French cavalry weapon before he could finish his words.

”Did you see that? This was the result of being a coward! If you want to live, then fight... Is your gun a poker? ”

”People don't have weapons, can't you just smash down the furniture? A bunch of cowards! ”

The Chinese soldiers were enraged. They swung their guns at these cowards who could only cry and howl. ”Stand up!” Resistance! Those who don't want to die, fight back! ”Quick, quick, quick …”

Sheep who had never fought before were no match for these ferocious veterans. Under their punches and kicks, these people finally joined the battle.

All the furniture in the room was thrown out. Soldiers with trembling hands pulled the safety catch and fired, but no one knew if they hit the target or not!

The normal night battles had suddenly turned into a stalemate!

No matter what, the French cavalry could not break through the Chinese defense line, the stairs of these buildings were all blocked or destroyed!

To break through such a line of defense, there were only two methods. One was to have the engineers blow up or use cannons to bombard them, and the other was to set them on fire!

There were definitely no more cannons, and there were only a limited amount of explosives. More importantly, the entire French cavalry's target was Xiao Letian and not these ordinary soldiers.

Hence, at that moment, the most intense part of the battle was at the southern city wall. Because the watchtower was right here, and because this was the highest point of the battle, Alfred instinctively thought that Xiao Letian would be here.
