Mage Joan

The Asa soldiers behind the trenches, under the command of the squad instructor, kept throwing grenades to bomb any red figures that appeared in the field of vision.

At the same time, the first-line and second-line officers and soldiers who had been withdrawn before also reinstalled their gas cylinders and magazines, and returned to their positions one after another, raising the "wind gun" beside the Assa comrades. On the breast wall, aim at the enemy army who is advancing hard with artillery fire on the opposite side and shoot revenge bullets!

After the first two lines of defense, Fei Zhen’s army has paid tragic casualties. It is already the end of the force. I wanted to take the last breath to attack the top of the mountain. I didn’t expect it but was hit by unprecedented violent resistance. The rain of guns and bullets continued to pour on his head, thoroughly. Destroyed their fighting spirit.

The three thousand Feijin officers and soldiers who took part in the attack on the highlands have long lost the image of the uniform and majestic army at the beginning of the battle. After paying more than half of the casualties, they finally collapsed. Regardless of the officers' threats and curses, they dropped their rifles and turned their heads and fled down the mountain.

The road to the top of the mountain was blocked by dead bodies, and blood gurgled down the ridge like a stream.

Audrey saw the enemy's retreat through the binoculars and immediately ordered a counterattack!

There is also a reserve team in the hands of the colonel that has not yet entered the battle, it is more than a thousand volunteers from the Kingdom of Canaan.

These Canaanese veterans are all true "child soldiers" of Audrey. The reason why they traveled far and wide to join the war in the New World is because of the noble ideal of helping the colonial people get rid of the oppression of the suzerain country and seek independence and liberation. At the same time, they also A more important and noble mission full of chivalry spirit is "Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Canaanite People"!

For these Canaan veterans, there is no question of "worth" for throwing their heads and sprinkling blood for the princess, but whether they are worthy of the glory.

Audrey gave an order, and the Canaan volunteers immediately urged the horse to jump out of the trench, using a bayonet-mounted rifle as a lance, chasing the fleeing Feizhen officers and soldiers, and launching a fierce counter-charge.

The iron hooves of the war horse shook the hills, and Qianqi was like a violent wind, chasing and hitting the enemy's ass.

The infantrymen of the Continental Army also obeyed the command of the colonel, suspended shooting, took up their rifles, jumped out of the trenches, and joined the ranks of hunting down the enemy.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a cavalry reserve battalion next to Bannister Winthrop.

Originally, his troops were also famous for their cavalry raids, but the cavalry of this battalion obviously couldn't stop the Continental Army, which was rushing from the hillside like a mudslide, and had to endure the unwillingness to order the entire army to retreat.

The **** pursuit continued until the sun set, and pursued as long as thirty miles away. Along the way, hundreds of Feizhen officers and soldiers were killed and captured. Audrey ordered the troops to be collected and cleaned the battlefield. Afterwards, the prisoners of war were escorted across the river and returned to Delin Township calmly.

On September 15, 1627, the battle fought at Delin River Bay lasted from noon to night, and the dust finally settled.

It has been two years since the outbreak of the War of Independence. The Bannister Cavalry Brigade, which has been invincible in the past two years, has fallen into the trap carefully designed by Princess Canaan and Colonel Audrey Rosenthal Zion of the Continental Army Cavalry. In the end, it was a complete defeat, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

The invincible "Bloody Prince" in the past was forced to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat on the battlefield of the New World for the first time.

Bannister Winthrop tried his best to collect the defeated troops and counted the number of them. The three thousand men and horses at the time of departure are now less than 800, and most of them are dying and languid.

Relying only on the remaining forces and such low morale, no matter how unwilling to be reconciled, Little Winthrop could only admit that he was unable to return to the sky. He hurriedly gathered the remaining parts, turned and retreated north, and went to General Thomas Convalley, who was stationed at the base camp. .

At this time, neither side of the war had realized that the "Battle of Delin Bay" would become a landmark event. This small-scale battle was not limited to the southern battlefield, but also heralded the "War of Independence". "The overall process will also usher in a major turning point.

…

After the battle in Delrin Bay, General Convalley, who was having dinner, received the bad news from the front line that night. He immediately lost his appetite, dropped his knife and fork and left the restaurant, and shut himself in the office to smoke a pipe. , For an entire hour, the brows were not stretched.

Thomas Convalley and Bannister Winthrop are 20 years apart, and there are big differences in their military command concepts to their style of dealing with people. The relationship has always been not harmonious.

Kang Huali is an old-school aristocratic military officer who advocates steady and steady combat on the battlefield, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

In social life, he pays attention to aristocratic dignity and cares about maintaining his own gentlemanship. Even if he does not speak bad words to the enemy on the battlefield, if the enemy will come by courtesy, he will treat the opponent with the same standard of courtesy. The prisoners of war will not rush to extinction.

Little Winthrop, who was also a nobleman, was a young, frivolous and reckless faction. He commanded battles every time he took a slant, and often used methods such as sneak attacks and ambushes that were not "upright" in the eyes of General Kang Huali. The atrocities of slaughtering prisoners of war are even more notorious. Even Feizhen’s domestic newspapers have called him by name more than once and criticized him as a "killer."

What annoyed General Convalley even more was that Little Winthrop relied on being the governor’s son, entangled with a large number of junior officers in the military, and despised his older boss, even at the young officers’ club table. The Shanghai criticized Kang Huali for indecision, hypocrisy, and just a "pedantic mediocrity."

General Kang Huali also knew that he could not command the second generation of the official, but at any rate the two sides were in a nominal relationship between superiors and superiors. Little Winthrop actually secretly said bad things about his boss...Young man, you are too mad!

In the face of your Excellency, General Convalley has been holding back this breath until today when he received a frontline battle report that he learned that Little Winthrop’s cavalry brigade was killed by the rebels and lost its armor and armor, leaving only three thousand men and horses. Less than eight hundred, there is also a hint of gloating pleasure in addition to anger.

The self-proclaimed "Bloody Prince" of military genius was defeated horribly by the rebels put together by a group of farmers, not to mention the fact that the enemy's commander was still a young girl, it was really embarrassing!

Soon after, the follow-up report came, revealing more details of the battle of the river bend.

After General Kang Huali finished watching, his forehead was so angry that he wished to send the military police to grab the little Winthrop and slap him in the face with two big slaps!

Knowing that the enemy’s forces are twice as powerful as his own, he chose a highland formation surrounded by water on three sides and put on a posture of stumbling with you. Little Winthrop unexpectedly sent troops to charge on the high ground. Don't treat the enemy as a human being-this is more than just underestimating the enemy, it's the death of Te Niang at all!
