C2865 Sedans wall (1/2)
”Get the brothers of knife drawing team to leave! Slow down the tempo of your attack... The cannon fire is about to begin! ”
Sima Yun looked at Bing Tai and the others who were about to go insane from their killing, and quickly gave the order. The killing formation finally slowed down.
At this moment, the sound of muffled thunder suddenly came from behind the battle formation. The sky was filled with the sounds of artillery shells shooting as they whizzed past the top of everyone's heads.
The endless stream of French cavalry s in front of him were blown down, and all that could be seen was the smoke of explosions everywhere. Only then did he see the advanced state of the Prussian artillery, and the speed at which they loaded and reloaded.
The most important thing was that these cannonballs were all triggers. The artillery did not need to calculate the distance to replace the fuses.
Such a fast reaction speed was completely the nemesis of the cavalry. After wave after wave of artillery barrages, French cavalry who were crazily slaughtering just now suffered heavy casualties. Finally, they had no choice but to return to Sedan City.
McMahon had organized over seven thousand cavalrymen to fight back. After a bloody battle, he had returned less than four thousand.
There was no time to worry about the casualties of the cavalrymen, and just as the second round of cannons started, Prussian army's attack started once again. This time, a total of 30,000 raiders charged forward like ants that covered the sky.
Sai Dang City's retaliation could be said to be fierce. The heavy machine gun caused heavy casualties, but no matter how strong the firepower was, it was unable to suppress Prussian's madness.
Very quickly, the city walls were filled with soldiers shooting upwards. The firepower at the top of the city walls was actually being suppressed.
None of the French troops could raise their heads. Bullets were whizzing past their heads, and these soldiers were curled up in a corner of the city wall, in a panic.
”Fight!” ”Get up and fight …” The military officer swung his rifle butt and smashed the timid soldiers. The bullets flew past him and struck the stone walls, causing it to fly into the air!
”Fight!” If we don't fight, none of us will be able to survive! ”Attack …” A string of bullets flew up to the top of the city wall. The officer, who had been cheering up his morale, was shot through the chest, causing his body to tumble down.
Under the cover of the firepower of their comrades, the miners charged forward in droves. Packs of explosives were piled up at the base of the wall. They pulled the fuse and ran.
This was not just an assault of one or two places, but the complete breakthrough of the most outer fortress of Sedan City!
Boom … Boom! Boom! Huge explosions rang out one after another, and the city walls of Sedan City were suddenly in danger!
”He broke through!” He broke through … The city wall collapsed … ”
No matter how strong the city walls were, they couldn't withstand the explosion of so many explosives. Very quickly, six huge holes were blasted in the walls outside the city, the excitement making Prussian army mad as he charged upwards.
The French soldiers lying on the ground on the city walls were awakened by the shouts. When they opened their eyes, they saw the world was blood-red, and the blood on their foreheads was like a waterfall that flooded into their eyes. All of the scenes were blood-red and distorted.
The huge shockwave from the explosion caused serious casualties on the city wall. Many of his comrades were killed by the blast, and even he was bleeding from his mouth and nose.
The soldier struggled to stand up and saw that the huge hole beside him was like the edge of a cliff. Prussian army, who had swarmed forward, swarmed in like a flood through the hole in the dike.
The soldier forced a smile and pulled the bolt on his rifle to reload the bullet. He did not even need to aim and simply pulled the trigger. After the gunfire sounded out, a soldier among the crowd fell to the ground and cried out miserably.
Then, he pulled the bolt on the rifle again and pulled the trigger. The wounded French Army stood alone on the edge of the cliff as they fired downwards!
