Of course, Mirage Wuyuan was not idle either. He asked his men to restore the order of his baggage troops, count the losses, and asked his own artillery to reload the cannons and prepare for a new round of battle.
Unfortunately, the rate of fire of the muzzleloader guns was really impressive, and the rear team suffered heavy losses and serious confusion, so these tasks wasted a lot of time for the Mirage Army.
By the time Mirage Wuyuan was ready again, his existing military strength actually had no obvious advantage.
He didn't know that the troops in front of him had increased from more than 400 to nearly 600, nor did he know that the opponent's firepower had more than doubled!
With the second machine gun, the Datang Group's troops can be said to be completely invincible. The attack by the Mirage Army is just a matter of death and does not pose a substantial threat at all.
Now, the only thing that can cause trouble for Datang Group is the dozen Cyric muzzle-loading cannons held in Mirage Wuyuan's hands.
And these threats obviously will not exist for long-sooner or later, telegraph machines will land on the shore. Once the shore contacts the fleet, Mirage Wuyuan's artillery position will definitely not be preserved.
However, Mirage Wuyuan is not without support. He has already sent a messenger asking for help earlier. The friendly troops of Mirage stationed further away are expected to arrive within a few hours for reinforcements.
As long as the reinforcements arrive, Mirage Wuyuan is confident to launch another attack and drive the evil enemy force in front of him into the sea!

As for the enemy forces at sea, we can leave them to those bastards in the Navy. Anyway, Mirage's navy is the best in the world. Although it is annoying, it still has strength.
When the navy fleet arrives, they can defeat the enemy in front of them. This is the common sense of the Mirage Army. Their navy has never been defeated after becoming the top four in the Endless Sea!
Zheng Guo's navy, which was once close in strength, did not even dare to leave the military port due to continuous defeats.
The fleets of the Yangmu Kingdom and the Talon Kingdom can only beg for mercy under the power of the Mirage Navy Fleet on the west side of the Endless Sea!
Therefore, Mirage Wuyuan never thought that he might lose. What he thought about was how to contain the landing enemies as much as possible and catch them all in one fell swoop!
This was much more interesting than going into the mountains to encircle and suppress those Zheng State survivors, and it would also allow him to add to his military exploits.
"Entire the team! Prepare to attack!" Finally, after waiting for a long time without waiting for a new round of enemy shelling, Mirage Wuyuan couldn't help it anymore.
He guessed that although the enemy's artillery was powerful, its reloading was cumbersome and its rate of fire was extremely low - this was also in line with objective laws, wasn't it? If a powerful weapon has no flaws, then it is really unreasonable, right?
Since the opponent's weapon has a flaw in the rate of fire, taking advantage of this flaw to launch an attack has naturally become Mirage Wuyuan's first choice.
He even thought for a time that the enemy's weapons might be the type that were powerful but required a long time to prepare.
Therefore, he continued to speculate whether he could survive the opponent's continuous firepower and wait for the opponent to run out of bullets before rushing forward to defeat the opponent!
In this way, he commanded the troops to launch another attack. After a volley of artillery fire, another battalion of soldiers from the Mirage Army crossed the bushes with flintlock guns and rushed towards the beach where the Datang Group landed.
On the beach, the 1st Battalion Commander watched excitedly as the signal corpsmen took apart the moisture-proof oil paper and began to piece together the loose parts one by one.
Due to size issues, the foot-operated generator has been improved to a hand-operated generator. In order to ensure the stability of power generation, usually three soldiers shook the generator together to maintain power supply to the telegraph machine.
In fact, there is a simpler and more convenient way - to connect the telegraph machine directly to the car. This is also the latest technology launched by Datang Group.
Remember the Rolls-Royce at the Expo that had a battery and a radio installed? If you can power a radio, you can power a telegraph. There is no difference.
As a newly born brand-new technology, it was naturally first applied to the military field. With the new invention of batteries, the power supply for the army immediately became much more convenient.
Unfortunately, the first car that landed was soaked in water and paralyzed in the sea. No one cares about it yet, so the telegraph machine can only be powered by a hand-cranked generator.
Finally, almost two hours after the landing was launched, the Datang Group troops on the beach finally made contact with the fleet behind them.
Just as the 1st Battalion Commander was excitedly preparing to call for his own artillery support, the enemy's second charge began.
The solid shell landed on the beach again, still inaccurate, but it looked very scary.
The flying iron ball hit the sand, bounced up, and shattered a landing boat that had not had time to be pushed back into the sea.
The shell penetrated directly through the hull of the boat, leaving a hole in it. The wood was smashed to pieces, and the flying sawdust injured two sailors, but there was no danger to their lives.
Then, the gunshots on the flanks became intensive, and a group of Mirage soldiers rushed out of the bushes, and were immediately shot back by the submachine guns equipped by Datang Group soldiers.
The firepower of the two sides was not at the same level at all. Although the Mirage soldiers were considered brave, they could only hold out for a few seconds when faced with bullets like raindrops.
More and more Datang Group security forces are coming ashore, and their firepower is naturally becoming more and more powerful. The submachine gun specially assigned to the squad leader is flexible and has become a more reliable firepower pillar than the Maxim heavy machine gun.
With the cooperation of rifles, the Mirage soldiers' charge attempt was not even halfway through the first charge when they were swept back to their starting position by bullets.
They had no choice but to catch the Datang Group soldiers off guard in the first raid. At the same time, they faced the 2nd Battalion who did not have many weapons, so they took advantage.
But this time, what stood in front of them were some troops from the 1st and 3rd Battalions, all serious infantrymen. Of course, the Mirage troops had no chance at all.
This time they didn't even see clearly where the enemy who fought them back was, and they were defeated without even firing a few shots.
"Asshole! What's going on? Why did you come back so quickly?" Mirage Wuyuan, who was riding on the horse, became angry. He stared at his officers and cursed: "This is unreasonable! I, the warrior of Mirage Kingdom, have all lost my face by you." Got it!"
"Sir, sir... the other party's weapons are weird, and we were beaten so hard that we couldn't even handle them!" The Mirage officer who led the charge explained with a sad face.
Just kidding, the French army at Verdun in 1916 couldn't do it, let alone the mirage goblins holding flintlock guns. You know, the French army that year still had their courage, but they had not yet learned the signature French military salute...
More than 100 corpses were hastily abandoned, and this charge failed again and again. Compared with the last time, the soldiers of the Mirage Kingdom did not even see the beach this time and failed to kill a single Datang Group soldier.
Seeing that his attacks were not as good as the last, Mirage Wuyuan was also anxious. He didn't know when the enemy would attack his troops with that terrifying artillery fire again, so he could only bite the bullet and try to attack again.
Anyway, he felt that follow-up reinforcements would definitely arrive. As long as he pinned the enemy to death on the beach, victory would belong to Mirage.
"Charge again! Don't retreat!" Mirage Wuyuan looked down at the officers on horseback angrily, and issued a death order: "The third battalion will follow up! The whole army is pressing forward! Those who retreat will die!"
He pointed his sword forward and roared aggressively: "Attack!"
As if in response to his order, the sharp sound that ripped through the air appeared again, shattering all Mirage Wuyuan's illusions.
A new round of bombardment by the Datang Group's navy began. The sudden roar made all the noisy sounds disappear. After a moment of silence, a terrifying explosion burst out among the crowd.
For a moment, the soldiers of the Mirage Kingdom fell on their backs, their broken limbs and broken arms flying everywhere, and the cries and screams were mixed together, dotting the hell on earth in front of them.
The Mirage army, which was about to launch a charge, had just assembled. Although they were not in neat formation, they had not made any protective preparations.
Under the sudden bombardment, these Mirage soldiers who had no similar experience suffered heavy losses and fell directly into collapse.
On the smoke-filled battlefield, Mirage Wuyuan staggered up from behind his fallen horse. His ears could no longer hear the sound, leaving only a buzzing sound.
He saw his subordinates walking up to him with blood on their faces, and he also saw someone sitting motionless on the ground next to the stacked corpses.
All this happened too fast and suddenly. Mirage Wuyuan, who was thinking about attacking just a second ago, now all he can think about is getting out of this damn place.
Almost out of instinct, Mirage Wuyuan reached out and pushed away the bloody guy in front of him, took a step forward and ran away from the battlefield.
In order to escape for his life, he ignored the burning pain on his face and did not look for the lost saber. He even ignored his subordinates.
I don't know how much time passed, but another round of artillery fell near the Mirage army. The intensive artillery fire devoured countless lives and also caused the complete collapse of Mirage Wuyuan's troops.
The remaining mirage army fled like headless flies, with no discipline at all. As long as they could still walk on their own, they were like Mirage Wuyuan, running into the distance without looking back.
On the beach, the commander of the 1st Battalion, who did not know that the Mirage Army had collapsed, stood next to the telegraph machine, enjoying the scream of the artillery shells overhead, and ordered: "Fire another salvo! It's so enjoyable!" Hey hey hey.”
The signal soldier glanced at his commander and could only shake his head and continue his work. But while sending the telegram, I complained in my heart: "You said you smiled so obscenely, does the leader know?"
