Lu Ying's strategy is actually the most effective way to deal with the French now. The dark night makes the French naval guns lose their targets, and also traps the landing French troops in small defensive positions one after another.
If these harassing dead soldiers succeed, they will not only cause huge casualties to the French army, but also prevent them from resting all night, thus reducing their combat effectiveness.
As for the new army and militia groups, they can hide in the mountains to carry out guerrilla warfare during the day. After taking a rest, they can repeat such harassment tactics when night falls.
In just three days, this group of French troops who landed will become completely exhausted. It is hard to say whether they will have very little ammunition left in their hands by then. Persistence, what Ryukyu needs now is patience and persistence.
The strategy was a good one, but Lu Yingshao had miscalculated an important part. He forgot that there were countless pairs of eyes hating them in the darkness, and many people were looking forward to the Ryukyu soldiers.
Those people are the Manchu and Qing craftsmen led by Gong Cheng, Chang Sanhao, Sun Ximei, Stubborn Donkey and others. These people from all walks of life recruited by the Manchu Qing with huge sums of money have been lurking in Ryukyu for nearly a year. They are familiar with the mountains and rivers here. Very familiar.
Late at night can stop the French army, but for them the battle has just begun.
During the daytime battle, Sun Ximei and the others did not play a big role. They only set off a few smoke points in the chaotic crowd and marked a few targets for the warship bombardment on the sea. But when darkness fell, they His identity played a big role.
How the soldiers and civilians in the deep mountains were returned to the army, how the dead soldiers were selected, and the lurking routes they all investigated closely. How could these die-hard henchmen under Gong Cheng cause the foreign father to suffer, so they lurked one after another Go to the city and speak out at the most critical moments.
The most feared thing in the war is the betrayal of such traitors. More than half of the soldiers in the entire operation died due to their betrayal. Moreover, as long as there are gun battles and explosions in one or two places in the entire city, all the French troops will be on alert and launch sneak attacks. The plan is now completely ruined.
"Fuck your ancestors... Who is the traitor? Who is it..." The soldier with grenades on his body shouted angrily, and the French rifle on the opposite side opened fire desperately. The bullets hit him and turned him around twice. The last sound There was a roar and no bones left.
The French were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat. They threw burning wooden torches and other items out of the position, and even set fire to the houses downwind for lighting. The city where the flames were extinguished became bright again.
Everyone underestimated the will of these dead soldiers to fight. Since the sneak attack failed, it became an open attack. Everyone shouted slogans of revenge and launched a suicidal attack on the French.
They did not bring rifles, pistols or bullets. The only weapons they had were bundles of explosives and strings of grenades, and of course their will to die.
"Revenge, revenge, revenge..." Boom boom boom, roar after explosion sounded, and the soldiers and civilians in the rear were all stunned.
Lu Ying jumped out from the hiding place, "Retreat, the plan has been exposed, don't risk your death anymore..." Before he could finish shouting, there was an explosion and flames shooting into the sky at the end of the long street.
"Holy shit." Lu Ying cursed and rushed forward first with Spencer in his hand. "Attack, cover our brothers with fire... Even if you die, you won't die in vain."
He finally understood that without his own fire cover, all those dead soldiers would probably die outside the French position.
"Come on." Soldiers rushed out like a tide in the darkness, and the sound of gunshots suddenly sounded like a heavy rain on a summer night.
The French army's low wall was hit by bullets and fragments flew. The mutilated naked girl's body was torn into pieces by the hail of bullets, and blood and minced meat sprayed on the face of the French army nearby.
The attack of the new army immediately disrupted the rhythm of the French counterattack, and the last surviving soldiers finally seized the opportunity to attack. They pulled the delay fuse of the explosive pack and crawled forward dragging their injured legs. Crawling forward desperately.
Not far away, the dead-eyed girl was looking at him. Her broken neck gave her face a strange angle. Her pale face and unwilling eyes were telling her tragic experience.
"Girl, soul, don't go far away. Wait for brother for a while...I will avenge you, and then you will have a companion on the road to hell...Girl, when the time comes, you will tell me who you are...I would rather be a Taiping dog in the next life." Don’t be a person in troubled times anymore.”
The girl smiled, and in the eyes of the struggling dead soldier, the girl's face actually showed a smile. "Well done, we will leave with a smile even if we die. My brother has avenged you... We will have no regrets. We will be together when the time comes." Reincarnate, we will be companions in the next life."
"God, there's a madman here... Fire quickly." The bear captain who broke the girl's neck saw the crawling dead soldier at the moment of his counterattack. There was actually a smile on his blood-stained face. The damn Chinese guy is actually laughing, he is a lunatic...
The captain just wanted to shoot, but the hail of bullets from the opposite side pushed him back. The extremely frightened captain had no choice but to pull out his pistol without raising his head and shoot blindly in the direction of the dead soldier.
A bear-like hand covered with long hair held a pistol and stretched it out to shoot at the low wall, firing rapidly without caring about accuracy.
"Shoot, don't just look around, for the sake of God, shoot..." The surrounding French troops followed suit and started shooting blindly.
Lu Ying and the soldiers in the distance were going crazy now. Their Spencers were beating fast and dense. Everyone was nervously staring at the dead soldier struggling to move forward, with tears in his eyes.
"Have a good trip, brother...we're raising your parents for you...blow up these fucking beasts."
There is no sound in the ears of the brave dead man, and there is no other scenery in his eyes. The flame of revenge fills his body, and even the bullet hits his body without any pain.
"Madman, this Chinese is mad..." Captain Xiong looked up and took a look. He was frightened at that time. He had never seen such a ferocious face in his life. It was not an expression that humans could have.
Fuck France and the Emperor, I have to live. The captain turned around and ran back, but he didn't expect that as soon as he leaned over, he was hit by a big horse.
"Damn..." The captain cursed and looked back. At that time, he felt a chill coming up from his lower back and straight into his mind.
"Ghost...Ghost." The captain discovered with horror that his left ankle was actually hooked by a hand. The pale and pale woman's hand was the hand of the female corpse.
"God, please save me, there are zombies, there are zombies, oooooooo..." Captain Xiong cried as miserably as a child. He struggled desperately and kicked helplessly with his legs, but that hand was like It grabbed him like an iron hook.
"Revenge, brothers..." At this moment, a tall figure suddenly jumped out from behind the low wall. The fuse on his chest had burned to the end, and five kilograms of granular explosives suddenly exploded in mid-air. , the fire and air waves suddenly swallowed up everything.
"No..." This was the last sentence in the lives of those French soldiers. The last scene before Captain Xiong died was the woman's pale head rushing towards him quickly, followed by the blackness of all consciousness in front of his eyes. Completely disappeared.
After the war, the story of a female ghost's revenge began to spread in Ryukyu. In the story, the woman who died of humiliation and the brave soldier fulfilled their wish, drank the bowl of Mengpo soup together, and were reincarnated into the human world together. Some even A medium who can channel spirits once saw the two of them with his eyes open, and swore that the two of them were married and lived an extremely wealthy life.
And many veterans know that people will become stiff within a few hours after death. At that time, if the wrists of the corpse are bent, they cannot be broken apart by human power. In addition, the explosive pack is about to explode, and the panicked captain cannot pull it out. It is also normal for the legs to ache.
But facts remain facts. People still like dramas where good and evil are rewarded. They are more willing to let the girls and warriors who died tragically have a beautiful new life. This is kindness and not superstition.
Naturally, those who survive will have to worry about things after the war. Now the enemy and we have no time to worry about such a small episode. The French were completely angry under this wave of suicide attacks.
"French warriors...don't be passive...attack the enemy. We also have the courage to fight at night...attack, attack." The French major who once conquered the Old Summer Palace drew his command sword and waved it in mid-air. A group of fiery lobster soldiers gathered around him.
"Charge, kill these despicable sneak attackers..." Once the veterans got angry, the combat power was simply not something that the improvised new battalion could withstand. The frantic French army walked as fast as flying, regardless of the rain of bullets coming towards them. , no matter how great the sacrifice is, it cannot stop them.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies collided fiercely, their sharp bayonets flying up and down, and their dying roars shook the world.
"Kill the barbarians, long live France, long live the Emperor..."
"Revenge, Asia is ours, the white ghosts should die..."
"God, let our cannons speak. The warriors throw flares. We French warriors also have the courage to fight to the death..."
"Come on with the knife, hurry up, hurry up...speed up and be careful of the enemy's artillery on the sea..."
This was the most primitive fight. The French army were all veterans. They quickly formed a small circular formation of five or six people on the battlefield, leaning on their backs and fighting with the bayonets of the new battalion of soldiers.
Most of Lu Ying's soldiers were newly recruited militiamen. Except for their superior numbers, they were indeed inferior to the French army. The bayonet battle only lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the new battalion could no longer withstand it. They Their feet began to slowly push back, and the ground was covered with corpses.
"Damn it, this battle can't be fought like this...Brothers retreat, retreat into the mountains immediately..."
At this moment, several muffled thunder sounds suddenly came from the sea, followed by a strange scream in the sky. Lu Ying and the French captain roared almost at the same time.
"Lie down quickly... take cover..." Before he could finish his words, there was only a loud explosion, and the entire block was enveloped in fire and thick smoke.
