Ming Army General Huang Shaoming, who was in charge of commanding the Dutch mercenaries, saw that the British troops were running forward, and the drums that followed became more and more intensive, so he decisively ordered in advance: "Shoot!"
then.
The Dutch mercenary standing at the front suddenly squatted down and began to target the first row of British soldiers.
The Dutch mercenaries behind them stood there and fired.
The last mercenary stayed low and was even ready to rush forward and shoot at any time.
boom!
With the first sound.
There were continuous gunshots from behind.
Many English soldiers fell to the ground as a result.
Even more than half of the British soldiers running in the first row fell down, like waves of wheat tossed by the strong wind.
The British soldiers behind were stunned!
Although they were a well-trained army with a high degree of organization, they were still shocked when they saw so many casualties and casualties in the front row, and then a sense of instinctive fear appeared in their hearts.
Among the Dutch mercenaries on Daming's side, in each three-person group, the only soldier who did not fire in the first round of shooting, and who was lying low, immediately shot after the two soldiers in the same group in front of him fired. He ran to the side, raised his head, aimed at a British soldier, and shot him.
The reason for running to the side is naturally because smokeless gunpowder has not been implemented yet.
After the soldier fired, the two Dutch soldiers in his group also followed and pulled the bolt of the gun, becoming second and third.
The whole process was completed in an instant, forming a very careful cooperation.
Under such circumstances, shooting continued, and British soldiers kept falling to the ground.
The British soldiers could not maintain a dense formation when they could shoot continuously with high accuracy and at a range far higher than their own. The British soldiers at the front were killed when they saw a large number of their comrades around them. Finally, when I was alone under someone else's gun, I could no longer bear the threat of death psychologically, so I suddenly lost my courage, and instinctively fled back, and some even abandoned them directly. Own flintlock.
As a result, the British soldiers behind also became frightened and fled.
Seeing this, Huang Shaoguan decisively ordered: "Blow the charge horn!"
Toot toot!
Toot toot!
As the charge horn sounded, the Dutch mercenaries on the Ming army's side immediately continued to rush forward in groups of three.
The reason why they are still in groups of three is naturally so that they can be each other's eyes on each other's left and right sides during the charge to cover them.
However, the training of the Dutch mercenaries is still lacking in this area, so that the three-three formation is not good enough, and sometimes in order to maintain this formation, they limit their charging speed. Compared with their ancestors, For the Ming army, the degree of cooperation was much worse.
This meant that when the main force of the Ming army behind heard the charge and rushed up, they directly surpassed them and even fought against the fleeing British army.
Medna saw with his own eyes the Ming Dynasty soldier He Lian rushing to the front, and then two more people followed him like a gust of wind!
And they shoot very quickly, as fast as a cobra.
In the blink of an eye, Medina discovered that the Ming army soldier He Lian and his comrades had killed the British soldiers they were anchoring, and they were also able to provide cover for the other side while advancing quickly, killing those who had the courage to take the opportunity to sneak attack on him. British officers and soldiers who were in the same group of comrades.
Roncharer also saw this scene, and because of this, his hand holding the telescope was trembling: "It's terrible! These Dutch people in front of me are scary enough, but these Easterners are even scarier than them! We are more terrible than them." They are at least a hundred years behind! They are simply invincible devils! I can't figure out how to deal with such tactics! Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly!"
Ronchal turned his horse's head hastily, not caring about the officers and soldiers under his command.
But at this moment, Ronshall suddenly felt as if someone had hit him hard on the back.
Not long after, Ronshaler felt severe pain in his back, and then fell off the horse with his whole body weak.
The Ming army soldiers not far away from him had already retracted the rifles they had just fired at Ronshal, and rushed forward with their comrades.
Another British naval commander, Crogg, was stabbed to death by the charging Ming army while retreating, and then fell to the ground unwillingly.
On the British side, after seeing coaches Roncharer and Kroger fall off their horses, their morale was even more shattered. They no longer had any will to resist and ran around in even more confusion.
As a result, the Dutch mercenaries unleashed a powerful fighting force and began to chase the British troops regardless of their formation.
Some Dutch mercenaries even chased hundreds of British troops alone.
At this time, these Dutch mercenaries showed great courage, and even seemed to be braver than the Ming army.
Medina was also chasing dozens of British soldiers at this time. He finally ended the pursuit after the British soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for mercy because they could not run away and were stabbed to death one by one. and collapsed to the ground.
However, as soon as he collapsed to the ground, Medna realized how crazy he had just been, and couldn't help but grin.
As a result, the city of King's Lynn was successfully captured by the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Mingzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty who was responsible for commanding all the landing officers and soldiers who would eventually reach the northern suburbs of London, also came ashore next and rode a steam chariot into King's Lynn City.
The rest of the Ming army had already entered the city.
After Medina entered the city, he saw He Lian, the main soldier of the Ming army, who was leaning in front of a stone step. He quickly changed his murderous aura, put on a flattering smile, and congratulated him. Lian ran over, knelt on one knee in front of He Lian, took the initiative to take out a Mingzao cigarette from his pocket, and holding a Mingzao match, asked He Lian, asking in Chinese as if he was stuck: "Master , would you like one?"
He Lian glanced at Madna and saw that his white face was covered with blood. He looked quite ferocious, but his blue eyes were full of flattery. The cigarette in his hand was also his favorite brand. , but he smiled and nodded.
As if he had received divine favor, Medna hurriedly lit a cigarette for He Lian and said: "I just saw you and other heavenly soldiers charging. You are called fast, your marksmanship is accurate, and your reaction is agile. I admire you so much! I just don’t know how you are so powerful. It’s like you have eyes on your comrades, knowing when your comrades need support at any time.”
He Lian smiled, exhaled smoke and said, "If you fight too many battles, you will get used to it!"
Medna nodded, and then said flatteringly: "Yes, no matter what, today I can see what the most skilled army in the world is!"
