French colonial area, an important military location.
This is a key line of defense, and the retreat route of the Indian rebel army after its success must pass through this place.
If this place is not captured, then the uprising will be considered successful.
The Indian rebels cannot retreat!
The French army has also deployed heavy troops to guard this city. For them, this is a vital material transportation line and will supply frontline strategic materials. No losses are allowed!
With a salute, bright red colors exploded in the sky, and other places in the French colonial area received orders to light salutes in unison.
The French soldiers guarding the city looked up at the fireworks display in broad daylight, full of ridicule, but also a little regretful.
This kind of fireworks from Long Yan is very beautiful.
But that was at night, and the fireworks couldn't be seen clearly during the day.
Some French soldiers secretly said it was a pity.
Some French soldiers laughed at the man who set off the fireworks, saying he was sick in the head.
At this moment, the Indian rebels, who received the order, immediately launched a surprise attack on the city.
Bang!
The bullet penetrated the French soldier's head. Before he could react, he fell heavily to the ground, blood flowing out.
The other soldiers' eyes froze, and they immediately realized that something was wrong and sounded the alarm.
"Enemy attack enemy attack!"
Countless French soldiers immediately prepared to fight.
At this moment, they were stunned as they looked at the sudden appearance of Indian troops from all directions.
They patrol every day and have never seen such an Indian force ambushing around them.
Moreover, these Indians were holding muskets and were extremely well-equipped.
It was even much better than the equipment of their French regular army.
Indian troops dispersedly poured into the city gate from all directions.
The French troops who took the initiative were quickly surrounded.
The musketeers in the French army were massacred by a wave of musketry from the Indian troops before they had time to form their formation.
Because the muskets used are single-shot guns.
Only one bullet can be fired at a time.
Therefore, the formation is particularly critical. The French team likes to line up the musketeers and shoot together to maximize their firepower.
The method of the Indian troops is decentralized.
This method is the fighting method taught to them by Qin Changfeng.
Its basic function is that two people cover each other's teammates' attacks, one reloads and the other fires quickly to reduce the attack interval.
Moreover, it does not reduce the problem that the shooting area of a single-shot gun is not wide enough.
The advantage of fighting like this is that as long as you reload quickly enough.
There are enough bullets, and the theory is that it can attack without interruption.
Under waves of fire, the French troops suffered heavy losses.
In the first actual combat, these Indian troops showed outstanding combat effectiveness, which is inseparable from Qin Changfeng's training.
At this time, the French troops at the gate of the city saw that the situation was not good and immediately shouted: "Close the city gate quickly, we will definitely allow these Indians to capture this place."
But at this moment, no one could listen.
Their commander was absent, and there was a brief commotion.
The Indian rebels took advantage of this opportunity and immediately wiped out these French troops.
Kill into the city.
At this time, the French army, which had experienced a brief dispute, finally organized a manned defense under the command of the army adjutant.
They took advantage of the geographical location and artillery advantages to briefly suppress the Indian rebels.
Battles also broke out in other important military locations in the French colonial area.
At this time, when he heard the sound of gunfire coming from outside, Richard's heart suddenly thumped.
He knew that it was too late for him to know the news.
A long time ago, Fang Dalong had vaguely reminded him that the Indians might have problems recently.
However, Richard didn't believe it at all.
In his opinion, the Indians are still a group of savages who are stuck in the era of eating hair and drinking blood.
Although he has a keen intuition about the jungle.
As for hunting, almost every Indian is a good hunter.
However, the French colonists have proven that the Indians' hunting skills were eventually conquered by strong ships and guns.
They were already slaves of the French, no different from those African slaves.
So Richard never paid much attention to their affairs.
But now Richard was remorseful.
I even wonder why I didn't listen more to Fang Dalong's opinions in the first place.
Now the Indian rebel army has reached his castle.
"Support troops, why haven't you come yet? Do they want to wait for me to die?" Richard roared angrily.
Fang Dalong sneered. The army had been sent to the front line by Richard a long time ago and was now confronting the British army.
Those who can come to rescue Richard's troops are probably fighting the Indian rebels now.
Where are the support troops?
However, in the original plan, Qin Changfeng and Fang Dalong never planned to kill Richard.
He is more useful alive than dead.
This shelling was just to cover Fang Dalong.
Another cannonball fell near Richard's Castle, and the air waves generated by the violent explosion shook the castle.
Richard failed to stand firm and almost fell. Seeing this opportunity, Fang Dalong hurriedly supported Richard and said quickly: "Sir Richard, this place is too dangerous. For your safety, I suggest you retreat immediately!"
Richard hesitated for a moment. There was a lot of artillery fire outside. If he waited here, he might be able to hold on until the support troops arrived.
At this moment, a cannonball hit.
This time, it bombarded the castle directly, but only landed outside the castle gate.
The cannonballs exploded, immediately blowing the French soldiers who were unable to guard the castle into smithereens.
When Richard saw this cruel scene, he was shocked and speechless.
The other officers, who had seen the battlefield, were not too shocked, but their faces were as heavy as iron.
From behind the smoke that had not dissipated, the Indians shouted to kill!
He was the leader of the French Colonial District, and he knew how these Indians were living in the French Colonial District.
And he is one of the culprits that caused their unrest.
If he is caught by them.
Death may just be a luxury.
Fang Dalong looked at Richard, who had dull eyes, and said sadly: "Your Excellency, withdraw. Once the reinforcements arrive, these rebels will be close to death."
"But we have to be alive until the reinforcements arrive."
Richard's dull eyes finally regained some vitality, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, retreat!"
"Take the back door!" Richard hissed.
Fang Dalong helped Richard retreat, followed by almost all the defense commanders in the French colonial area.
As long as it is done in one pot, the French colonial area will be gone!
