"Use the Dragon Flame Cannon to attack Dragon Flame's troops and don't care about anything else."
Kent said crazily.
The officers under him were slightly startled when they heard this order.
"General, our troops are currently fighting with the troops of the Dragon Flame Army. At this time, attacking with the Dragon Flame Cannon may injure our people."
"Can't we wait for our troops to move some distance away and then bombard them with the Dragon Flame Cannon?"
Kent said coldly: "No, let's take advantage of it now. Most of the forwards are Indians. Their casualties are in exchange for victory in the entire battle. The speed must be fast and never give Long Yan's army a chance to fight back!" "
The officer who contradicted him hesitated, but finally decided to carry out Kent's order.
After their troops started fighting with the Longyan Army, the other side adopted a close-quarters fighting style to render the French army's long-range attack weapons ineffective.
They all knew that the reason why Long Yanjun did this was to delay time.
Wait until their support troops arrive.
At that time, the Longyan Army will be even more difficult to deal with.
After thinking of this, the officer ordered in a deep voice: "Artillerymen, prepare, face to face and fire!"
The artilleryman was slightly startled when he heard the order.
It was still dark, so if they fired directly, their artillery attack would most likely hurt their own troops.
Troops from France were wounded.
But orders cannot be disobeyed.
They immediately adjusted the fort and aimed the Dragon Flame Cannon at the French troops who were fighting fiercely, and also aimed at the Dragon Flame troops.
Bang!
The artillery shells drew arcs in the air at extremely high speeds and landed on the battlefield with a rumble.
Qin Changfeng was slightly startled when he saw the sudden explosion on the battlefield.
Both units were engaging in close combat, and it was impossible to launch an artillery attack.
But where did this explosion come from?
The French army did not enter the mine trap set by Longyan Army.
Qin Changfeng saw the flames rising above the battlefield in the distance, flashing past very quickly.
His pupils suddenly shrank. Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, the French army guard didn't care at all about the soldiers who were currently fighting.
To fire directly is to let your troops act as cannon fodder and targets.
Qin Changfeng clenched his fists. He was furious at the choice made by the French general and shouted in a deep voice: "Order, withdraw the troops and stop fighting with the French army."
"On top of the musketeers, cover the retreat!"
"Yes, General!"
Qin Changfeng is not a French general. He will not waste the lives of his soldiers in vain. Withdrawing the troops now is a helpless act, but it is definitely not a cowardly act.
Long Yan's musket team quickly charged forward. It was only after Long Yan's musket production was improved by Liu Zheng that the range and power were greatly improved.
More importantly, Liu Zheng's redesigned musket is no longer a single-shot rifle.
But it can achieve seven consecutive shots.
But every shot requires reloading.
The musketeers' bullets flew through the darkness.
Although it was dark night, they were wearing military uniforms of different colors and the unique metal badges of the French army, making it easy for them to reveal their identity even in the dark night.
The military uniforms of the Long Yan Army were also changed to green by Liu Zheng. Their military uniforms also have some patterns of flowers and plants. Sometimes they squat in the grass and you can't even see people if you don't look carefully.
The Longyan Musketeer's hit rate is not low in the dark.
Gunfire broke out everywhere, and the French army had to endure both their own artillery fire and the fire from the Dragon Flame Musketeers.
Under such circumstances, I dare not continue the pursuit.
In this situation, Long Yanjun was able to get rid of the entangled attack of the French army.
Through the telescope, Kent saw the Longyan Army retreating on the battlefield ahead, and said angrily: "These are a group of cowards!"
"Pass my order, dispatch the cavalry, and pursue the victory. You must not let Long Yan's troops escape."
"We must take this position before dawn!"
"yes!"
The French army dispatched cavalry. Under the high-speed movement of the cavalry, the hit rate of the muskets plummeted.
Because it shoots from the side, it is almost difficult for the Dragon Flame Musketeer to capture the opponent's movement direction.
After the French cavalry was dispatched, they dispersed.
Because of their previous experience, these cavalry units already knew how to attack in order to avoid the intensive firing of muskets.
They used a circling approach and charged in surprise.
This unexpected wave of raids directly caused heavy losses to the musketeers of the Long Yan Army.
However, the Long Yan Musketeers completed the withdrawal mission of Long Yan's large army.
By being familiar with the terrain, Long Yanjun's troops retreated while fighting, and had reached the commanding heights of the terrain.
And here Qin Changfeng placed all the dragon flame cannons that could be temporarily mobilized.
Kent laughed out loud when he saw the Longyan Army being defeated steadily by his own troops.
As the French cavalry deepened, Kent once again ordered: "Attack the entire army and defeat the Longyan Army in one fell swoop!"
French troops poured into the battlefield in large numbers.
Qin Changfeng saw the French troops chasing after the victory, his face was extremely cold and devoid of any emotion.
The adjutant under him saw the French army coming in large numbers like locusts, as if they were going to devour them. Looking at Qin Changfeng beside him, he remained indifferent and said anxiously: "General, if you don't attack the French army, we will kill them." !”
Qin Changfeng muttered silently: "Wait another hundred meters!"
"Now is not the time!"
The distance of one hundred meters came in an instant.
The French troops quickly came over and the Longyan Army was already out of the battle.
The adjutant clenched his hands so hard that his palms became sweaty. He looked at Qin Changfeng anxiously.
"General, the French troops are coming."
Qin Changfeng looked at the battlefield and the French army that was approaching, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously rose.
Now the French troops are concentrated within a distance of two hundred meters, and within this distance, they are within the range of the Dragon Flame Cannon.
"Fire the artillery and shoot all the shells for me. Don't let any French troops go!"
"Fire!" the adjutant shouted anxiously!
The artillery rumbled, and the Dragon Flame Cannon directly bombarded the French army.
Seeing the shells pouring everywhere, these French troops were completely panicked.
Under the heavy fire, they had no way to escape.
He saw a sea of fire suddenly erupting in front of him.
Kent's pupils were dilated, and he didn't know when he dropped the telescope in his hand.
After fighting the Long Yan Army, he ignored one thing.
It was because of this incident that he suffered today's disastrous defeat!
He forgot that the dragon flame cannons used by their French army came from dragon flames.
Long Yan also has more advanced artillery than them, and knows better how to use more artillery to create an undefeated advantage.
Now Kent finally understood the horror of fighting against the Dragon Flame Army.
This vanguard force has a total of five thousand people, and I am afraid that there will be only one out of ten.
The first ray of dawn shone on the land that had experienced artillery fire. Kent looked over and saw that the ground was already littered with corpses.
