The black fifth-rank official uniform on Li Pan's body had been completely dyed purple with blood. When they ravaged the two thousand French troops in the western suburbs of Paris, they felt that the French troops were weak and vulnerable.
But what is certain now is that it was a complete illusion. At that time, the battle was just because of haste, and both sides did not understand that the Qin army relied on its advanced weapons and caught the two thousand French troops off guard.
France has been engaged in constant foreign wars in recent years. Although the people at home have been in dire straits due to successive years of war, in general, the French army, tempered by years of war, is definitely not as good as imagined. On the contrary, their combat effectiveness is very strong.
Vanrit pursued in a hurry and did not bring any artillery, but the height of Louviers was only four meters, and he could climb up with a short ladder;
The four thousand French army not only had muskets, but also bows and arrows. Rows of bullets and bursts of arrow rain covered the city. The Qin army also suffered heavy casualties. Li Pan and the others no longer cared about pretending to be ambassadors. They all joined in the bloody battle at the top of the city.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Regardless of casualties, the French army pressed down on the city in rows, firing continuously to suppress the Qin army at the top of the city. The whistling bullets hit the top of the city, sparks flew, gravel flew everywhere, and the smoke filled the sight of both sides. It became very blurry, and there were shadows above and below the city.
"Poof!" With a sound, Wan Gui next to Li Pan just threw down a thunderbolt, and was hit in the head by a bullet. The bullet from the slide gun was round, and Wan Gui's forehead was completely shot out. A big hole came out, covered in blood and flesh.
boom! Boom boom...
Explosions continued to be heard from below the city, deafening, covering up Li's heart-wrenching screams. He hugged Wan Gui's fallen body, and the blood on Wan Gui's head dripped all over him.
Among his ten brothers, four of them, including Wan Gui, had already fallen. They were still laughing before the battle and had no idea that this battle would be so tragic.
The corpses of the French soldiers under the city have been pushed up two feet high, making the already low city wall even shorter. It seems that they can climb up with just their hands. Fang Ge and the others have no bullets, thunder, or rockets left. There is not much, so we can only use it as sparingly as possible.
The weapons captured during the capture of Louviers were all used at this time. The black powder was made into small explosive packets. After being lit, they were thrown wherever there were crowds of people in the city. There were loud explosions, causing dust to fly everywhere. The French soldiers who were gathered together were blown away and their limbs were broken. everywhere.
But even this did not make the French army retreat. They attacked the city from three sides. Guns of fire rushed up, there were rows of bullets, and a shower of arrows suppressed the city. The French army, red-eyed, could be said to be rushing forward one after another.
Li Pan wiped the blood from his face. He hurriedly put down Wan Gui's body, picked up a heavy sword, and slashed it out, "Go to hell, you son of a bitch!" in his roar. With a pop, an enemy who had just emerged was struck in the face with a sword, leaving a frightening wound. He screamed and fell down the city.
Boom! A bullet hit the battlements, and gravel splashed onto Li Pan's face, leaving a bloody gash. However, he ignored it at all. Seeing more and more enemies gathering under the city, he picked up an explosive pack and shouted: "Lu Xin, hurry up!" Lu Xin, who was next to him, pulled out the torch beside him and lit the fuse for him. Li Pan hid behind the battlements, his eyes fixed on the fuse of the explosive pack until the fuse was about to burn out. Then he threw it down hard.
boom!
There was another loud noise, and the top of the city trembled. A burst of soil was blown up to the top of the city, mixed with severed limbs and even livers. The smoke was billowing and the fishy wind was lingering... .
Fan Lite, who was outside the city, felt his heart twitching as he watched the brutal bloody battle. He had wanted to order a suspension of the siege several times, but there were not many Qin troops at the top of the city, and they looked shaky, as if they could attack at any time.'
However, God seemed to be playing tricks on him again and again. The aggressive French army was severely defeated by the Qin army again and again. The city was crumbling but it remained stubborn.
There were more and more corpses piling up under the city, and the blood had gathered into a thin stream, gurgling.
One more fierce attack, one more attack, and maybe we can break the city. Fan Lite had always thought this way, but his hopes were dashed time and time again. By the time he had to order a pause in the attack, the four thousand French army had already suffered more than 400 casualties;
Just imagine how much blood there is in four hundred people. If four hundred corpses were piled up, it would be enough to pile up a hill.
After Fan Lite suspended the siege, the sky quickly darkened.
A bright and cold moon shines on the Seine Sea and on the distant foreign land. The rumbling gunfire subsides, the crazy shouts of killing dissipate, the explosion of fire goes out, and the tragic fierce battle comes to an end;
Under the city of Louviers, wild wolves howled, insects chirped, and the injured let out horrifying moans. The night wind was cold and ghostly, and the battlefield littered with corpses looked particularly desolate under the moonlight.
For the Qin army at the top of the city, they no longer cared about being homesick or sentimental. The enemy just suspended the attack, not that it had been completely repulsed.
Fang Ge counted the number of people and found that thirty-two people died in this battle and forty-three were injured, seventeen of whom were seriously injured and had lost their combat effectiveness;
He only had one hundred and fifty people in total, which was equivalent to a loss of half.
Before the war, they never expected the French army to be so desperate, and now Fang Ge and the others were running out of options.
As a commander, Li Pan was furious with the death of four of his subordinates. While chewing the hard-to-swallow bread, he said: "Commander Fang, the enemy probably won't attack the city overnight tonight. Why don't we give these... Son of a bitch, back and forth.”
Fang Ge took two gulps of cold water, swallowed the bread stuck in his throat, and then asked: "What else do you want to do?"
"We are attacking the camp in the middle of the night. The enemy knows that we have few people, so they may not think that we dare to attack the camp..."
Li Pangang stopped when he said this, because there was a faint sound of horse hoofbeats outside the city. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be Fan Lite who sent people to patrol the city to monitor the movements of the Qin army in the city. Then, go A sneak attack seems to be very difficult.
Another chief, Huang Gaoyuan, said: "I didn't expect the enemy to be so desperate. We only have four rockets left. The Thunder Thunder is basically used up and there are not many bullets left. If the enemy attacks again tomorrow, we will definitely defend It won't be long, so we can only break out tonight. Judging from the enemy's actions, they don't know that Ambassador Zhang and others have already left by boat. If we break out, as long as we don't go west along the Seine River, the impact on Ambassador Zhang and others should be Not big.”
Soldier Liu Baier interjected: "We have fought hard for a day and are half exhausted. The enemies are all cavalry. If we break out, once we are discovered, we will not be able to escape. According to me, it is better to stay in the city and stay in the city." Keep it."
Liu Baier's words were echoed by many soldiers.
"Yeah, let's stay in the city."
"That is, you can hold on as long as you can. The enemy is not having a good time today. Four or five hundred people died anyway. I don't believe they are not afraid of death at all. Tomorrow's attack will definitely not be as fierce as today. Let's hold on." You can survive, but if you are discovered outside the city, where will you be able to survive? "
Indeed, now that the ammunition is running out and there are so many wounded, how can it be possible to outrun the enemy's cavalry
Once discovered, there is almost no possibility of survival. Instead of doing this, it is better to stay in the city, kill one to cover the cost, kill two to make a profit, and if you are lucky, you can wait for Pang Ning's reinforcements.
After everyone talked about it, there was no good solution. Instead, it caused differences and made morale even lower.
Since joining the Great Qin Royal Navy, everyone has never been in such a miserable situation. No matter where they fought before, they had the powerful Great Qin as their backing and could rely on them.
But now, trapped in this strange foreign country, thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty, no matter how powerful the Qin Dynasty is, it cannot provide support for everyone for a while. In addition, the war situation is tragic, and it is inevitable to feel a little helpless mentally.
A sad mood permeated everyone's hearts. Looking at the moon in the sky, it seemed much colder than the moonlight in my hometown.
Even Fang Ge sighed to himself, this time he would probably have to be buried in this distant foreign country.
Looking north from the top of the city, you can see the surface of the Seine River reflecting the sparkling moonlight. Suddenly, he thought about it and said to everyone: "Brothers, cheer up, listen to me, we are saved." Yes, there is help..."
*********************
ps: Regarding Europe, Huayuan deliberately wrote it in a broad way. I believe that not many people know about the situation in Europe in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but there is still something interesting to read.
It’s just that the plot is difficult to deal with. If I spread it out, the protagonist’s role will inevitably be less. From time to time in the book review section, I can see readers suggesting that the book should be completed. It must be because of the lack of protagonist’s role. This inevitably makes me feel a little bit in a dilemma.
In addition, at the end, it has actually exceeded the original outline set by Huayuan, and all aspects of the plot have been spread out very much, so more consideration is needed in handling to avoid triggering minefields.
I sit in front of the computer every day, but my coding efficiency is not high. Yesterday, I only produced one update. This is unimaginable for Hyway during the double period. I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone and thank you at the same time. Everybody’s support.
I will adjust the status as soon as possible and reset the outline. In terms of updates, because there are no manuscripts saved, they are all published as they are, so the update time is not yet certain. Please forgive me. Dear friends who have monthly passes, please encourage me.
