Chapter 1044

Chen Wei poked his head out and looked at the trench deeper than his height. When the red eyed soldier was about to jump down, he suddenly made a stop sign.

On command, the soldiers immediately, in fact, the generals of the Chinese Empire were more flexible on the battlefield than they were.

"No, they're going to surround us here." Eric said.

Simon said, "fools know what they're doing. There's no other choice. Now we have to attack."

"No, we will pay heavy casualties. You can see the weapons they can shoot continuously." Eric argued: "retreat to Jakarta and then go to India. In Calcutta, the Allied forces are waiting for us. They have cavalry and field guns. At least they can fight against the Chinese Empire."

Simon didn't listen to Eric's advice at all, because in his opinion, Eric didn't play to his satisfaction.

He said, "I am the consul of Manila, and now I order you to attack!"

Simon yelled at the officers as he spoke.

At Simon's command, the officers went out of the temporary command post in the trench, and they returned to their own ranks. The Dutch officers who led the aboriginal army first launched the attack.

Each of these Aboriginal soldiers had a bench and stepped on it. They climbed up the trench and used the captive rifles to shoot at the imperial soldiers who were attacking in the front.

In an instant, the whole battlefield was full of gunfire, and the bullets of the Dutch army flew to the imperial soldiers like raindrops.

Facing the attacking Dutch army, the imperial soldiers all fell on the ground to shoot. The loading characteristics of the Chinese rifles made this posture hinder their shooting at all.

The Dutch soldiers are different. They have a very long barrel of the rifle. After the paper shell bullet is torn open, it is poured into the barrel, and they have to stand up and tamp it with a strip.

In such a gap, the indigenous soldiers trained in the Netherlands became the targets of machine guns.

"Daddada..."

The tongues of machine guns returned fire to the Dutch Aboriginal soldiers who climbed up the trench, and the aboriginal soldiers kept falling in the dense rain of bullets.

The first group of Aboriginal soldiers to climb up soon fell under the muzzle of the machine gun.

Simon and Eric saw this scene, and they became more and more afraid of machine guns, because they knew that they could not fight machine guns now.

Despite the failure of the first attack, Simon was not reconciled. In his opinion, the life of these aborigines was worthless, so he called out, "what are you still doing? All the aborigines rush up. Who can take a Chinese rifle back? I'll give him a hundred gold bars!"

Under the heavy reward, the aboriginal soldiers, who were afraid, clambered up the trench, but they found that this time they were facing more fierce fire.

It turned out that after discovering the possibility of Dutch soldiers breaking through, Liu Chen immediately sent a reserve team of regiment to reinforce a regiment, which greatly increased the firepower of a regiment.

"Daddada..."

The machine gun fire became more intense, and the aboriginal soldiers soon suffered the same defeat as them.

Under the bombing, more than 3000 Aboriginal soldiers were killed by machine guns, and Simon could no longer keep calm.

Fear began to spread in his heart, and he called out, "now, all retreat!"

The Dutch soldiers were scared out of their wits. They followed Simon and immediately fled to Manila.

In the Bashi river around Manila City, there are Dutch armed merchant ships. As long as they board the merchant ships, they can escape the enemy's encirclement along the Bashi River and enter the sea.

At the beginning of the collapse, the remaining soldiers in the trench rushed to Manila city.

See this scene, Liu Chen immediately ordered to chase.

One ran, another chased. The imperial soldiers in dark green uniform drove the Dutch soldiers in Khaki Uniform into the city like ducks.

During the pursuit, the soldiers of the Empire stopped shooting from time to time, and the Dutch soldiers fell down.

Eric frowned. He looked back at the skillful imperial soldiers and thought about how to control the convenient loading guns of the imperial soldiers.

While he was thinking, the figure of Bashi river appeared in front of them, but the soldiers of the Empire were getting closer and closer.

Looking at the obstacles set in advance in front of the Bashi River, Eric suddenly thought of something. He said, "Simon, we have to block their attack to get on the boat smoothly."

Having said that, he immediately led a group of Dutch soldiers to hide behind the obstacles, and ordered them to stand in three rows. The first group of soldiers were responsible for shooting, while the second and third rows were responsible for loading ammunition.

Every time the soldiers in the first row shoot, the soldiers in the second row will hand over their guns, the soldiers in the third row will hand over their guns to the second row, and the soldiers in the second row will hand over their empty guns to the third row for loading.

"I'm really confused. How can I think of fire hedgehog shooting now?" Murmured Eric.
