African Nationhood

Chapter 316 Spring Festival Offensive (Part ) Happy New Year to all my book friends!
  "boom!"

The violent explosion caused fluctuations in the air, and even though it was dozens of meters away, one could still feel the violent fluctuations in the air.

Yellow smoke billowed from the explosion site, and the choking smell spread along the wind.

"Keep your breath tight and don't inhale this poisonous smoke!"

Picric acid is bad at this point. It easily produces toxic gases when it explodes.

After everyone held their breath and pushed through, they saw clearly that the city wall over there had been blown down, with a gap of more than 3 meters.

From the gap in the city wall, you can clearly see the shacks and a few stone buildings in the city, but strangely, the city wall was blown down.

It was strange that no natives came to check on the situation.

Ye Shilong heard the sound of gun bolts being pulled in his ears. He stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers from moving blindly, "Wait a minute, the Portuguese haven't attacked yet."

They have already launched an attack here, but there is no movement there yet.

Ye Shilong couldn't help but think, weren't those Portuguese killed by the indigenous people in the middle of the night?

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, Ye Shilong finally relaxed when he finally heard the rumble of gunfire from the north.

He had just planned to send someone to Portugal to check the situation.

This time the Portuguese came to kill the Obindu people and they brought front-loading cannons. This old-fashioned front-loading cannon greatly slowed down their marching speed.

Now that the Portuguese had begun the bombardment, he could safely launch an attack.

"Chen Hua, please order one class to be the vanguard, and then let the brothers in after making sure it's safe."

Chen Hua, who had scars on his face, was unambiguous, "Follow me, Squadron 1, Company 1, and attack according to the 'three-three system'."

As Chen Hua's order was issued, soldiers from one company to another quickly formed a formation.

At the front were the two soldiers led by the deputy leader of squad 1, in the middle were the two soldiers led by the team leader, and at the back were the two soldiers led by the squad leader. Chen Hua followed in the third echelon. The three echelons formed three waves of attacks. .

Before entering the gap, the three people in front skillfully threw two grenades near the gap.

After the rumble, there were screams of "ah, ah".

As expected, the enemy was very cunning and set up an ambush near the gap.

Chen Hua stopped the 1st shift deputy who was about to rush, "Don't worry, two more!"

The 1st shift deputy nodded and threw two more coins in, this time a little further.

"Boom~ah~"

The soldiers are more alert now. Since the enemy is cunning, I will give you a few more grenades. Anyway, I brought more this time.

After throwing two more bombs in, there was no scream after the explosion.

Only then did the 1st shift deputy cautiously poke his head over to check what was going on inside.

There was flat land inside the gap, but there were a few more craters, and several indigenous people died nearby.

The 1st squad deputy checked around to make sure there was no ambush. The three-man team quickly rushed through the gap, and then the three of them quickly lowered themselves and started to be on guard with their guns drawn!
  The next two three-person teams also quickly passed through the gap. After careful observation and found no abnormalities around them, Chen Hua reported to the outside of the gap: "The gap is safe!"

After Ye Shilong passed the gap, he took a look at the scene and found that there were many dead indigenous people here, nearly ten people.

There were also bows, arrows and javelins scattered around. These indigenous people were dressed similarly to those they encountered at the Nanhua Company.

It seems that it should be the town's patrol team. They patrolled the area and just happened to catch up with the Nanhua Army's bombing of the city wall.

It's your unlucky fate to encounter us. If we hadn't had the grenade developed by Mr. Shi, we would probably have lost a few lives here.

……

"Okay, now it's up to the brothers to make their own fortunes. The company not only provides everyone with powerful equipment, but also teaches everyone how to save their lives.

Now it's time for everyone to work hard to repay the company. As for whether they can earn their lives in exchange for a future, it's your own destiny. It's up to you! "

More than a thousand Nanhua soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

"The three-by-three system of marching, advancing layer by layer, alternately covering the attack, and taking into account the tactics of attacking the enemy on one side and surrounding both sides. Do you remember this?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Ye Shilong gave an order, and 1100 Nanhua soldiers were divided into nearly 400 groups. They advanced alternately to cover each other and went to clear up the enemy.

Ye Shilong stood there and watched his guards set up a machine gun position and began to carry ammunition.

Hearing the rumbling sound of cannons, he couldn't help but murmur softly: "These Portuguese are really ink. They haven't breached the city gate after so long?"

……

The Portuguese were also very depressed. The 6-pound cannon they brought was too weak.

The city walls of the Ovendu people are all made of stones. Although they are not thick, they are very strong.

Unless their cannons can hit the same part of the city wall multiple times in a row, it will be difficult to blast through the city wall in a short time.

"What happened to those yellow-skinned monkeys? Why did they hear a loud noise and a few weak explosions, but then there was no movement?"

The Portuguese officer leading the team asked, and his adjutant shrugged, "Who knows, anyway, our shelling has attracted all the Obindu people in the town." Hearing what the adjutant said, the Portuguese officer who led the team asked. The officer smiled silently.

At the city gate opposite them, there were already many black people prying eyes on them.

Others of the Owindu men showed their heads and tried to aim their flintlocks at them.

The distance is more than 500 meters, and the flintlock gun can hit it.

There is nothing to fear from the natives, all that is left is to wait slowly.

"It doesn't matter, we have enough artillery shells anyway, and if we bombard them slowly, we can always blast open their walls!"

These Portuguese people would not have thought that the South China Army they were talking about was killing people in the town and collecting the spoils of war.

The Portuguese took it for granted that there were constant explosions in the town.

Those yellow-skinned monkeys are also using cannonballs, but I don’t know how powerful the yellow-skinned monkeys’ cannonballs are.

An hour and a half later, the Portuguese were still trying to bombard the city wall with artillery, but were shocked to find someone waving a flag above the city gate.

That, that is the flag of Nanhua Company: the word rice on a red background and the ugly monster lion.

How is this going?

"Stop the shelling!"

After the bombardment stopped, a Chinese man with scars on his face was revealed on the gatehouse above the city gate.

While waving the flag, he shouted loudly in English: "Mr. Matilda, on behalf of Nanhua Company, I invite you to enter the city."

"What, you have captured the town of Byrondo?"

"Yes, please come in!"

As soon as Chen Hua's voice fell, the city gate below slowly opened, and then a group of Nanhua soldiers holding rifles stood in the gate tower.

Their expressions were difficult to see clearly under the shadow of the tower.

But it can be imagined that their expressions must be very cold. If they attack the town first, they will definitely kill a lot of people.

"This is incredible!"

The adjutant's surprise was palpable, but Captain Matilda had no time to be surprised.

"Mr. Matilda, please hurry up to the square in the center of the town. We have gathered the remaining Ovendu people in the town there."

Although the Portuguese were reluctant to believe it, the cold reality proved that they really despised the Chinese.

The fighting power of these Nanhua soldiers is indeed extraordinary!
  "Sir, can you tell me how you entered the town first?"

Chen Hua shook his head, "No comment!"

……

When the Portuguese arrived at the square in the center of the town, a large number of indigenous people gathered here.

The faces of these natives were filled with panic and fear, and Captain Matilda was in an even worse mood.

They failed to break through the city gate before the yellow-skinned monkey, so according to the agreement, they would not have a share of the spoils this time.

Byrondo Town is the richest town among the Ovendu people, but all the goods here have been taken away by the South Chinese soldiers.

Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to challenge these Nanhua soldiers.

Otherwise, these people would probably be as miserable as the indigenous people he saw on the road when he came here!

When he walked to the square, he saw the Maxim heavy machine gun next to the South Chinese leader, and Matilda sighed.

The weapons of these Nanhua soldiers are so sophisticated!
  Captain Matilda walked up to Ye Shilong and said with a sincere face: "Mr. Ye, please forgive me for being rude, your army is really powerful!

Now that the town has been occupied by you, what do you want to do next? "

Ye Shilong chuckled: "Although we have occupied the town, it is up to you to decide how to deal with these indigenous people!"

Captain Matilda looked at the natives and sneered, "Kill them all, of course, otherwise today's work will be in vain."

Ye Shilong nodded immediately, "I think so too, so in order to let your army get the spoils of war, I will leave this matter to your army.

After this is done, a quarter of the town's property will be yours. "

Captain Matilda was overjoyed when she heard what Ye Shilong said, "Really? Great, we will do a good job!"

……

After a fire that annihilated everything, the town of Byrondo on the Biye Plateau disappeared.

The once powerful Owendu people also suffered a devastating blow, and many Owendu settlements disappeared into the dense forest!

With the disappearance of these Ofindu people, the road from Biye Plateau to Benguela Port ushered in a long and wide convoy of cattle, sheep and horses, as well as the sand and dust brought by these livestock...
