Pierre and Paul were paralyzed on the ground, looking at the reversal of the battle ahead with incredible eyes. Countless Irish people rushed into the British army like crazy, and the war quickly fell from the firearms age to the cold weapon age.
Opposite them was the tired union leader White, who was panting hard and about to vomit blood. He had just rushed into the fire and kicked out two guys who were about to commit suicide.
White's eyebrows and hair were all burnt, and he was breathing heavily with one hand on his waist and his waist bent at a full ninety degrees.
"You... you... you underestimate us... us... Oh God, I'm so exhausted!"
"If I run...slower...you two really can't be saved...you just...don't believe us!"
With a pop, White sat softly on the ground. The bloody battle just now had completely drained all his energy.
"You don't know those young people. As long as you can prove that you are sincerely helping us Irish people, how can they refuse to save us? What's more, you have sent so many arms and supplies..."
"Leave quickly... Don't say anything and leave quickly... Our compatriots are protecting you with their lives, so leave quickly..."
Pierre looked at the loud battle roar in the distance and said with lingering fear, "War... will return to its original appearance in the end, with lives fighting for each other!"
He is right. Before World War I and even during World War II, hand-to-hand combat was a common form on the battlefield. Especially in the era when heavy machine guns were not popular, whether or not they could engage in hand-to-hand combat was indeed important to verify the strength of an army. index.
The damage caused by muskets is indeed great, but after all, there is still a shooting density. As long as the attacking army is willing to sacrifice human life, and as long as the entire army is brave and unafraid of death, then rushing through the area controlled by the bullet rain and leaving a certain amount of corpses can end the battle. Quickly dragged into the quagmire of hand-to-hand combat.
In this kind of face-to-face fighting, the bayonet is sometimes not as useful as a wide variety of medieval weapons. Just like the new Chinese army at the moment, many veterans have given up using bayonets for melee combat and have chosen weapons that can cut and cut with appropriate strength. The engineer shovel is much more useful than the bayonet in chaotic battles.
These Irish people inspired by Al-Shabaab had actually been lurking in the suburbs of Dublin for a long time. From the moment the mercenaries provoked the riot, Al-Shabaab, which had always been on high alert, immediately ordered its elite men to assemble on standby.
In fact, before Max came on board the ship to negotiate, thousands of people organized by the Shabab were already ready to fight. These were the Irish with the strongest will to resist the British. They had long been waiting for the opportunity to revolt.
After so many years of preparation, these Irish people have accumulated some weapons, and the rest are equipped with their best cold weapons, including more than ten styles of machetes.
The raging flames of war had made these rebels unable to hold on any longer. When the order to attack was given, they rushed towards the British like tigers that were ready to go down the mountain.
They were completely a group of lunatics, and everyone was fighting with their lives for lives. Some rebels even had bayonets in their chests, but they still rolled and fought on the ground with the British soldiers in their arms. Their teeth and fingers became weapons.
The desperate rebels disrupted the British army's formation. Except for the officers' pistols, which could still be used, all the other soldiers could only rely on bayonets to fight the enemy.
However, the British army only had 800 people at full strength, including the number lost in the battle just now. The total number of British troops at this moment was only just over 700, while the attacking Irish rebels numbered more than 2,000.
The battle suddenly became one-sided. When Major Feier saw that the situation had deteriorated to this point, he quickly organized his soldiers to break out. At this moment, he had no power to recover. Now his only hope was the thousands of follow-up reinforcements that were coming from outside the city.
Of course, there is also the navy. At this time, Major Fell has also forgotten all the unhappiness between the army and the navy. He hopes that the Royal Navy warships will appear on the sea at this moment. As long as the cannons start bombing, no matter how many thugs there are, they can suppress them. .
"Gather... retreat to the west... stabilize the position with me as the center..."
At this moment, a low explosion suddenly came from the north of the pier. Max, who was fighting hard, laughed, "Our compatriots are attacking the fort! The few defenders are not enough for us! Seize the fort, the British The navy would not dare to enter the bay..."
"Ireland must win! Attack..."
Pierre and Paul now felt relieved. The British fort was located in the north and had been attacked by the rebels.
Although the fort is heavily fortified, it is a fortress that defends the open sea after all. The defense on land still depends on the army. Previously, Major Fell had removed part of the fort's defenders to cover their attack from the flanks. At this moment, the Beigang fort is defending The weakest moment.
"Let's go, everyone get on the boat, the time the Irish have bought for us with their lives cannot be lost!"
More than forty surviving mercenaries gathered around the two commanders bloody, and even the two Vikings who had just left with the mission came back.
"Sir, don't you support them? Although the Irish have the upper hand at the moment, but when the main force of the British army outside the city arrives, these rebels will suffer a big loss!"
After just one night of bloody battle, these mercenaries and the Irish had already established a comradeship. The mercenaries were really unwilling to do the embarrassing thing of leaving the battlefield early.
But White shook his head, "Leave quickly, you can't be exposed! We died so many people to cover you, we can't die in vain... Although I don't know exactly what agreement the Al-Shabaab reached with your senior leaders, but I know it must be for us." good!"
"Let's go, let's go quickly! If we delay it any longer, you will harm us! Before the British warships can outflank the retreat, you should leave quickly! Let's go quickly!"
Listening to White's roar, the mercenaries present felt as uncomfortable as growing grass. At this time, Pierre gave the final order.
"Get in the boat! This is an order... catch up with our cargo ship as quickly as possible! Didn't you see that the urging signal has been sent from the distance? Time is running out, hurry up..."
That's right, at this time, King Yi was jumping on his feet and ordering the cargo ship to approach the dock. All the sailors also saw the change in the situation. They marveled at the miracle and took action quickly.
The light signal urging people to board the ship flashed over and over again, and the cargo ship ventured forward in the narrow channel, just to grab a few more minutes.
The weeping mercenaries carried the injured Paul and surrounded Pierre on the four grates and began to quickly leave the dock. There was no telling how many hard-blooded men were weeping silently while struggling to shake the oar.
White on the shore wiped the sweat from his face, smiled and waved, "Thank you! Brother!"
"Let's go back and fight! Kill a few more British guys!"
Ten minutes later, the mercenaries finally began to board the ship, and at this time cheers came from the Beigang Fort, and the rebels quickly captured the fort with a tenfold advantage in strength.
Immediately afterwards, the muzzle of the fort began to rotate, and it fired towards the northeastern sea. The sound of the cannons rumbled and the flames shot into the sky.
Wing King slapped the railing and shouted, "Quick, quick, quick... the fort must have discovered the British navy, and they are blocking it... hurry up! Now!"
