Chapter 287 The Price of Arrogance [Last Part]
However, Ichiro Oshima didn't dare to say anything about the powerful British Empire, so he could only say to the following: "This is an opportunity. The Qing soldiers have already run away and will rush into the city later. The money and women inside are ours! When they come, let them eat ashes!"
The people from the island country laughed. They didn't believe it at all. Faced with such a huge army, the Qing soldiers dared to fight! Walking ahead was just to take them a step further away from their wealth. Some people even turned around and despised the coalition forces of other countries and called them cowards.
People from other countries sneered and refused to respond.
Tianjin City is not small, but not big. Too many people will definitely not be enough. If a group of people in the island country dies, this is the best thing.
With each ulterior motive, the army began to gather, with the island people in front, the British in the middle, and other countries on both sides and behind... In short, Seymour left himself the best position! But he didn't know that this best position was the best tomb... the tomb he dug with his own hands!
"Report to General, the army has been assembled and can launch an attack at any time!" Forres came to Seymour and reported.
Seymour lived with a golden crutch and looked ahead and said, "This will be a war recorded in history! Let's start, move forward! Target Tianjin City, and enter the capital with one move! The day after tomorrow, I will sit in the palace for dinner!"
"Set out!" With Freis' order, the army was about to set off!
However, at this moment, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky, and the whistling sound was extremely dense, making people unable to notice it!
Seymour, Forres, Pierce, Ichiro Oshima and others looked up at the sky at the same time. The confident smile on their faces turned into a dead face in the next moment!
"O my God!"
"Baga...How come the Qing soldiers have so many artillery?"
"So many shells!"
"Help!"
...
For a moment, countless thoughts arose at the same time. Unfortunately, no matter how fast their brains react, it is too late!
Boom boom boom boom boom...
The shells seemed to be worthless, and they fell in a very dense manner. At this moment, what was falling was not the shells, but the rain of shells!
A bomb like a storm fell down, and the earth rumbling loudly, and the soil was overturned into the sky, and the original yellow sand turned red!
The broken fingers fly randomly!
The originally majestic Nine-Nation Alliance was instantly stunned and destroyed! There were crying at the scene, and all kinds of crying were heard.
The Qing soldiers had never experienced the baptism of artillery shells. How many wars did these so-called Nine-Nation Alliance experience? The wars they experienced were also bullying the indigenous people with superior weapons. They had never experienced this modern war. The terrifying rain of artillery shells directly blow up all their confidence! At this moment, they just wanted to go home! Whatever makes money, robbery, and what for the glory of the British Empire were left behind, and they just wanted to go home!
However, the reality is cruel. When they used weapons to massacre the people of other countries, they never thought about the despair and pain in it. Now they finally felt it. They all wished that their parents would give them two more legs and run faster...
Seymour was stunned by the bombing during the first round of artillery attacks. When he got up, his face was ashamed! The originally huge Nine-Nation Alliance had become a mess, and the ants on the hot pan were running around! He saw with his own eyes that some unlucky people ran directly to the landing point of the shells, and then instantly turned into a pile of minced meat!
Everything in front of him was different from what he imagined! The enemy's weapons were completely different from the information he received! He roared in his heart: "What's going on with this tm?"
"General, run!" Pierce, Freis pulled Seymour and ran.
Seymour roared, "What are you running? My army! Let everyone lie down! Let's lie down! Wait for a round of cannonage, and move again when they change ammunition! Hurry up and pass the order! Otherwise, they will all die!"
Forres gritted his teeth and ran back, shouting wildly, causing everyone to fall down.
Sure enough, the desperate people fell down after they caught the life-saving straw.
Seymour also lay down, lying in the crater, covering his head, listening to the explosions around him and the trembling feeling of the earth, his heart kept cursing: "Who said that the Qing soldiers had only backward earth cannons? Who said that the Qing soldiers were natives? Damn, I want to kill him! This shelling is so dense, how many cannons are there?"
Seymour has been waiting for the shelling to end or the gap between the artillery and the artillery exchange for shells.
However, he was destined to be desperate. Ten minutes later, the shells were still falling like raindrops, and there was no intention to stop! He had no idea that one hundred cannons, fifty cannons in groups, one set of fire, and one set of fire was changing. As for shells... Wang Tian bought a lot, and the artillery soldiers squandered them!
Looking at the appearance of the Nine-Nation Alliance below, Wang Tian sneered: "Okay, let's take a break from the artillery, see how many living people there are, nod their heads. Adjust the distance of the artillery and block the sea for me! If there is an enemy ship that wants to run away, it will explode directly!"
"Yes!" Someone went down to pass the order immediately.
Twenty minutes later, the shelling finally ended...
Seymour slowly raised his head, his face dark, and looked around and saw the broken arm residual value on the ground. No one intact saw many people. Not far away, Freis's head was lying there, and he didn't know where his body was going.
Pierce was lying in the sea water in the distance, and then raised his head and looked at the messy battlefield. He cried. He was just a little nobleman. He came here just because his family was in a down-and-out way and wanted to make a fortune! He had never looked at the Qing Dynasty, but the scene in front of him was like hell, completely shattering all his arrogance. He thought that here, the first splash in his life, urinated out...
Pierce ran to Seymour and shouted, "General, run quickly, let's go back to the boat..."
"Get out!" Seymour shook Pierce away. If this bastard hadn't suggested gathering the army, his army wouldn't have been bombarded so miserably! Although he decided that he was the one who took the blame, he wouldn't take the blame!
After throwing away Pierce, Seymour shouted: "Stand up for me if you are not dead! Charge immediately! Don't think about returning to the ship. The opponent's cannon fodder exploded our ship, and everyone wants to feed the fish! If you don't want to die, just rush up to me. If you coincide with the enemy, the enemy's cannon will be useless! Get up and rush forward!"
However, no one moved at all.
Chapter completed!
