After all, Syni is not the Stone Bridge Highlands. There is only a three-meter stone wall left over from the Middle Ages. However, the Stone Bridge Highlands back then had three-dimensional fortifications carefully arranged by the Chinese.
Parallel trenches, interconnected communication trenches, bunkers and fortifications for storing ammunition, commanders' lookout posts...layers of defense nets overturned those killed by the arrogant Austrian noble divisions!
However, since no one from the Chinese, including the Prussian staff, had judged the sudden attack by the French, the Chinese were still drinking and having fun in the first half of the night, which shows that they had not built fortifications before.
Relying on a medieval stone wall and a ditch as shallow as your knees, you want to block 10,000 French Guards cavalry armed to the teeth? This is simply a dream!
After paying the price of three thousand casualties, the largest pile of weapons was ignited by the dead soldiers. The captain who died with a dream of glory finally broke through the southern city wall of Syuni!
Boom... The earth-shattering explosion shook the sky and the earth. The plume of smoke reaching into the sky was more than ten meters high, and a five-meter gap was blown out of the city wall.
This huge gap collapsed all the way to the foundation, and the slope formed by gravel and soil was just right for the cavalry to break through!
More than fifty Chinese defenders on the city wall were killed in action, and their bodies were buried in Syni along with gravel and soil!
At that moment, there was a brief silence of three seconds on the battlefield, followed by thousands of French troops roaring with excitement like wild beasts!
"The city is broken! The city is broken! Fight in..."
In Xiao Letian's eyes, the scene at this moment was like a dam releasing water. The torrent of French cavalry desperately crowded up to the five-meter-wide gap. The Chinese soldiers on both sides of the gap in the city wall were like hunting rabbits. Shoot down.
There is no need to aim at all. At this moment, just pulling the bolt of the gun can kill a French soldier. However, there are too many enemies. After killing one person, ten people can rush in.
Boom...boom...there were two more loud noises, and the city walls on the east and north sides of the town of Syny were also blown open. Now the French no longer had to attack the city, and they rushed towards the town along the three gaps. rush.
"Everyone retreats to the city wall... to the upper floors of the building... and holds on to it!" The last townspeople and soldiers on the street retreated to higher ground while shooting.
This is a medieval town with a long history. After hundreds of years of construction, the buildings here are all very stylish two-story or three-story stone houses. It can hide not only one or two thousand people, but also three or four thousand. People are not a problem either.
The French cavalry who rushed into the town were immediately confused. Originally, they thought they would have to fight with real swords and guns when they entered, but they did not expect to be greeted by empty streets.
Suddenly there was a roar above their heads: "Shoot! Kill these grandsons! Open fire..."
Bang bang bang... There was the sound of broken glass everywhere. Countless windows on the second and third floors were smashed open. Rifles stretched out and aimed at these cavalrymen and pulled the triggers.
Bang bang bang... Bullets were hunting the French cavalry at close range. These Guardsmen could not escape the rain of bullets above their heads, and they were knocked to the ground one after another.
"Counterattack...the enemy is shooting...on our heads..." The French army opened fire hastily in the chaos, but without the cover of houses, their counterattack could not cause many casualties at all.
"Damn it... dismount and rush in... kill them all!"
The French troops who suffered heavy casualties were so angry that they jumped off their horses and kicked open the door. They held a saber in one hand and a pistol in the other and began to clean the rooms one by one.
At this point in the war, they couldn't borrow the power of war horses. As soon as they rushed into the house, they saw that the stairs leading to the second floor were filled with furniture, and rifles were aimed at them at the top of the stairs.
"Fire...fire..." The soldiers guarding the upper floors of the house fired condescendingly, making the cavalry howl like ghosts!
At this time, Alfred also rushed into the town under the protection of his personal guards. When he saw this posture, he became anxious!
"Idiot! Where is the gun you are carrying! Blow it up for me..."
"Brave soldiers, our strength is several times that of the enemy. We cannot fail! Even if we risk our lives, we must capture Xiao Letian..."
Boom...boom...a monotonous and dull explosion sounded in the town. The taverns, hotels, butcher shops, and residential buildings that resisted fierce resistance began to collapse. The Chinese and Belgian soldiers who held on finally suffered large-scale casualties.
"Don't be afraid...keep shooting...brothers, keep holding on! The enemy's power is limited...I don't believe they can blow up the entire city!"
In the darkness, Hyoutaro was shouting for battle. The more complicated the street fighting was, the more the Bato team showed its power!
The Bato team, composed of countless Fuso warriors, launched a counterattack against the French army with the sword specially approved by the head of state!
Countless samurai discarded their weapons and jumped out of the windows on the second floor, slashing at the French troops who were stuck in a dead end with their sharp swords like a forest.
The emphasis on cold weapons is that one inch is longer and one inch stronger. Some Japanese swords are one-third longer than the French sabers. In the bloody battle between the two sides, the sword-drawing team had the upper hand!
Ah...Hyoutaro let out a tiger roar, and the sword slashed from top to bottom, and the cavalry in front of him was disemboweled, including both men and horses!
Human and horse blood spurted all over his body. At this moment, Hyoutaro had turned into a murderer and led his men to massacre the French troops in the alley!
"Baga! Who dares to sneak attack on the head of state! Bastard... let me see who dares to do harm to my father! Kill them all... kill them all..."
More than fifty soldiers with swords cut more than thirty French cavalry in the alley into pieces in one attack. At this moment, Hyoutaro was obviously a little crazy about killing.
It has been many years since he personally killed anyone. As a senior commander, his job these years has been to command, command, and command again!
He had almost forgotten the pleasure of killing someone with his own hands! And today's killing made him roar with joy!
He was so obsessed with blood that he actually wanted to lead his men to counterattack from the alley to the main street, but before he could rush out of the alley, he was held back by Nohira who came to support him.
"Hurry back and defend! Your boy is dying... Look how many enemies there are!"
After a quick glance, he saw that more than 300 cavalrymen were charging towards them in a dense formation on the main street. Hyoutaro finally calmed down, spitted out bloody spit, and returned to the house.
The big hands of comrades stretched out from among the messy furniture on the stairs, and they dragged the Ba Dao team members up from the gaps in the furniture.
At this moment, the door was completely smashed with a sudden bang, and the furious French cavalry actually rushed in on their war horses.
"Despicable rats... do you think there is nothing we can do? Burn you to death..."
A large barrel of kerosene was smashed on the stairs, and a torch was thrown directly up!
"It's broken...the enemy wants to prevent fire...what should I do?"
Hyoutaro and Noheita looked at the smoke-filled stairwell, gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, "Damn it... tear down the stairs... abandon the first floor and let them burn it..."
"Break open the roof, we are ready to move at any time!"
