Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 542 Reborn
In the valley five or six miles south of Greenville, more than [-] soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion and soldiers of the Apache tribe were waiting in line.

"Dong dong dong dong", suddenly, there was a burst of majestic drumming on the mountain where the coach Cao Wenzhao was located, followed by a wave of command flags.

This is to order the first army to attack the city!
Seeing this, Zhang Huanchuan immediately drew his sword without hesitation and shouted, "Shield array."

"Drink", the thousands of Apache tribe soldiers who were originally standing with shields immediately gathered together to form row after row of shield formations.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Huanchuan shouted again: "Ladder."

"Drink", thousands of Apache tribe soldiers who were neatly lined up next to the ladder immediately raised a hundred ladders.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Huanchuan swung his knife and shouted without hesitation: "Step on the drums and move forward."

"Tat T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T A T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T H T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T A T H T T T T T T H A T T T T T T A T T T H T T T A T T T A T T T A T H T A T H T A TAN TAT T T T T T H T T T T T T A T T T A T T T A T T A T T T A T T A T H T A T H A ."

The drumbeat was not urgent, and what Lingqi sent was not an order to charge, but a steady advance.

Although Zhang Huanchuan didn't know why he pushed forward like this, he still led his soldiers out of the valley in a shield formation, and stepped towards the enemy's castle in unison.

The military order is like a mountain, he never asks why, he will only follow the military order, even if there is a mountain of swords and flames ahead, he will not hesitate to lead his troops to step on it.

At this time, on the top of the mountain, Cao Wenzhao was staring in the direction of the enemy's castle with a telescope.

Of course he wasn't ordering indiscriminately.

Because all the turrets in the enemy's castle have been destroyed, it is the best choice to march forward in formation.

If you let your men and horses rush up in a skirmish formation, it will be quite exhausting, and you will be out of breath when attacking the city.

Of course, the enemy may still have a fort hidden in the dark that has not been destroyed, so he will hold up the telescope and stare at the enemy's castle. Once the enemy fires, he will not hesitate to order the artillery to continue the bombardment.

If the enemy really still has artillery, the infantry may suffer a little loss, but it's better than spending a few days going back to deliver the shells.

Sometimes the time on the battlefield is exchanged for human life, so you can't have so many scruples in war.

Fortunately, the enemy's artillery had been completely destroyed, and the infantry were all within a mile of the city wall, and there was not a single shell fired from the castle.

At this time, it is no longer possible to move forward slowly, because the enemy is a matchlock gun loaded in the front, and they are flintlock guns that can quickly change bullets. The faster the muskets shoot, the better it is for them.

Cao Wenzhao roughly estimated the distance between the infantry of the First Army and the city wall, and then decisively ordered: "Drum, charge."

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom."

The drumbeat immediately became like a gust of wind and rain.

Zhang Huanchuan immediately shouted without hesitation: "Come on!"

"Come on!" There was a roar, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the city wall immediately.

"Papa, papa", there was a burst of sparse gunshots on the city wall.

However, it is not very useful, because their front row is a shield wall, and everyone is wearing black iron armor.

"Papa, papa, papa", a burst of gunfire rang out, and the counterattack of the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion caused screams from the city wall.

Soon, the ladder climbed up the city wall, and the soldiers of the Apache tribe held up their shields and climbed up without hesitation.

In an instant, a pile of stones fell from the city wall.

Still, it didn't help much.

Because the colonists on the city wall didn't dare to show their heads, they just threw the stones around, and they didn't hit a few people at all.

Soon, the soldiers of the Apache tribe rushed to the city wall, and there was a hand-to-hand battle, which surprised the colonists.

They really didn't expect that after only a few months of seeing each other, these natives were completely different as if they had been completely reborn.

Not only are their weapons better than theirs, but their close combat is completely different from before.

In the past, these natives just swarmed up without any rules, and their weapons were not as good as them, so it was not too easy for them to kill.

Now, these natives not only have complete swords, shields, guns and armor, but also cooperate with each other.

They have no way to deal with other people's iron shields, but behind their iron shields there are continuous spears poking out, and every stab is a hole!

These colonists were not regular troops, and they could bully and bully the natives with outdated weapons. When others had better weapons than them and fought more skillfully than them, they couldn't resist.

Soon, the colonists on the city wall were killed and ran away, and the soldiers of the Apache tribe poured into the castle like a tide.

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Hengchuan immediately led the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion to charge up the city wall.

At this time, more than half of the colonists in the city were dead or injured.

The soldiers of the Apache tribe became more and more courageous as they fought, but the expressions of the colonists became more and more terrified.

Finally, a white flag stretched out from the window of the main castle. The colonists quickly left their opponents and retreated to the main castle. They gathered together and looked at the soldiers of the Apache tribe with fear on their faces.

Seeing this, Zhang Hengchuan immediately shouted, "Stop."

The soldiers of the Apache tribe who had swarmed up immediately retreated and surrounded the main castle.

Why didn't you lay down your arms after surrendering?
Zhang Hengchuan quickly stepped down the city wall, quickly came to the main castle, and shouted at the terrified colonists: "Put down your weapons."

Uh, people don't understand at all.

After thinking for a while, he simply picked up a broken knife on the ground, and then shouted again: "Put down the weapon."

Immediately afterwards, he threw the broken knife in his hand to the ground.

At this moment, the colonists finally understood, and they didn't know who threw the weapon first. Soon, the weapon was thrown all over the place.

Seeing this, Zhang Hengchuan waved his hands and said, "It's tied."

The soldiers of the Apache tribe immediately pulled out the ropes and rushed up, tying up the colonists tightly.

The battle ended so far, and both sides suffered casualties. However, the soldiers of the Apache tribe were only injured over a hundred, and not many were killed in battle. Most of the colonists in the castle were killed or injured, and more than 200 were killed.

This result has been quite good.

Cao Wenzhao originally thought that the soldiers of the Apache tribe who participated in the siege battle for the first time would suffer heavy casualties. Unexpectedly, these soldiers of the Apache tribe were so brave and good at fighting, with such a casualty ratio.

Fortunately, fortunately, if the casualties of the soldiers of the Apache tribe are too large, this battle will really be difficult to fight.

After all, the colonists had more than one castle. If they fought all the way, they might not be able to capture a dozen of these castles.

This siege was originally a war of attrition. If the consumption was too great, they would be unsustainable.

This Greenville has finally been won, which direction will it go next?

Cao Wenzhao thought for a while, and then ordered: "Send the order, order the detectives to quickly investigate in the southeast direction."

He wanted to see the situation before talking.

Because there is an enemy castle beside the coast more than [-] miles away to the southeast, and there is only one castle in the middle.

And the east army led by the emperor has [-] aegis ships and [-] dragon teeth warships, and it must be very simple to take down a coastal castle.

He reckoned that at this moment, the army of the Eastern Route might have taken down the castle that was less than three hundred miles away from them.

If that was the case, there would be no need for him to march southeast, just go north.
