For those prisoners of war who were ransomed by the Spanish, Zhu Hongyu would not let them go easily.
Although he released the person as promised, he also used some tricks.
He went to borrow some hounds from the indigenous tribes and gave one of the Spanish prisoners of war who was about to be released a bite.
Although everything seems to be fine for the time being, when rabies attacks...
Haha, there is no treatment for rabies in this era!
At least there is no such thing as Western medicine!
…
News of the great victory in the direction of the bastion spread, and the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became much more relaxed.
The family members of the Liberation Army, who were originally worried, breathed a sigh of relief and happily discussed the great victory achieved by the fortress.
They didn't know that the three hundred enemies who were killed were indigenous people, not real red-haired soldiers!
They only knew that their side had won a great victory and the enemy suffered heavy casualties.
The morale of the Liberation Army is booming!
However, Zhu Hongyu did not relax his vigilance. On the one hand, he required the Liberation Army to maintain a certain level of training, not only to avoid excessive physical exertion, but also to be prepared to enter the battlefield at any time and reinforce the two satellite city bastions.
On the other hand, he ordered the weapons workshop to continue working overtime to manufacture weapons and ammunition, especially cannon castings.
According to the victory report sent back by Shi Yongxin, in this great victory, 300 enemies were wiped out with zero casualties.
Apart from the terrain and the bastion, the three artillery pieces made the greatest contribution.
Most of the casualties were caused by artillery!
In the narrow terrain, the lethality of artillery firing shotguns is too great.
Every time a shot is fired, life is almost harvested!
If the fort of the bastion had a few more cannons, the number of enemies killed in this battle would probably increase.
…
On the first day of the war, the Spanish launched only one raid on the bastion of the Liberation Army.
They retreated with heavy casualties and did not attack again.
Colonel Robin reorganized his troops and prepared for the next attack.
Shi Yongxin received Zhu Hongyu's order and pushed Kayal and all the officers among the prisoners of war to the bastion.
"The red-haired person opposite, look over!"
Several loud-voiced soldiers of the Liberation Army shouted loudly.
After some Spaniards noticed the scene here, Shi Yongxin stood up and said.
"You red-haired men are treacherous!"
"It's an open negotiation but a secret attack. It's really despicable and has no credibility at all!"
"Today, I am going to kill all the captured red-haired officers on this fortress! I will sacrifice the blood of your heads to the flag."
"So that you may know that this is the consequence of betrayal!"
The Liberation Army soldiers beside him shouted in unison and repeated Shi Yongxin's words.
Colonel Robin couldn't understand Chinese, so he didn't think anything was wrong at first. However, after the adjutant beside him translated the call of the Liberation Army to him, Colonel Robin's expression changed drastically.
"Kayal!"
"No, my dear Kayal!"
Since the Liberation Army said they would only kill officers, he was not worried about his nephew.
But although my nephew is fine, my old lover is gone...
Colonel Robin clenched the telescope in his hand and stared in the direction of the bastion.
He raised his telescope and stared in the direction of the bastion.
Under the gaze of Colonel Robin, he watched helplessly as Kayal and others were escorted to the ground and knelt on the ground.
The sword flashed, dozens of heads fell to the ground, and blood sprayed on Lao Gao.
After the execution, the dozens of corpses were thrown directly into the open space under the bastion, and Shi Yongxin shouted.
"Come and collect the corpse!"
"Come and collect the corpse!"
The soldiers of the Liberation Army beside him also shouted.
Amidst the bursts of shouting, Colonel Robin felt his eyes go dark, his feet went weak and he almost fainted.
…
Colonel Robin woke up slowly, gritting his teeth in hatred.
"Damn, damn, these damn Chinese, I must kill them all, kill them all!"
"No man, woman, age or child will be spared, no one will be spared!"
Colonel Robin's anger boiled, and his face turned the color of pig liver due to anger.
"Send the order to the lone wolf and ask him to attack now!"
"The artillery is ready to suppress the rebel battery fire."
Rogerive looked at Colonel Robin who was losing his temper due to anger. He didn't dare to raise any objections and raised his legs to convey the military order to Lone Wolf.
Not long after, Rogerive came back and said to Colonel Robin with an ugly expression.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, I have rejected your request!"
"He said that the warriors of his tribe have made enough sacrifices for Spain, and he will not blindly launch another attack unless..."
Colonel Robin frowned and asked.
"Unless what?"
Rogerif said.
"Unless the Spanish soldiers take the lead!"
Robin frowned and said.
"The Spaniards must not die like this!"
His attitude was very firm. To Colonel Robin, it didn't matter no matter how many natives died.
But if too many Spanish soldiers die, this is something he will never accept!
Rogerif suggested.
"Your Majesty Colonel, don't we still have a group of Chinese trackers on hand?"
"How about driving those Chinese trackers to serve as cannon fodder at the front? I want to see if the Chinese rebels will fire on their compatriots."
Snapped!
Robin didn't say anything, then slapped Rogerive in the face with his backhand and cursed.
"idiot!"
“Is all shit on your mind?”
"Don't forget, the rebels still have nearly 200 Spaniards. Now you are driving the Chinese to the front to serve as cannon fodder. Do you believe that they can push all 200 of them to the front of the formation and kill them?"
"Can you afford this price?"
This was the case in the battle at the mine where Yada was captured for the second time. Mr. Oscar was just about to expel the Chinese to serve as cannon fodder in the front.
Zhu Hongyu pushed out all the prisoners of war in his hands with his backhand, preparing to cut down all the sacrificial flags.
Out of fear, Capello and Oscar had no choice but to let go of the Chinese who were being used as cannon fodder. Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, it also greatly damaged the morale of the army.
It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss!
Colonel Robin would never do something so stupid!
Rogerev was stunned by the slap, but he did not dare to argue in the face of Colonel Robin, whose face was ferocious because of anger, as if he wanted to eat people.
Not long after, Lone Wolf was called to Colonel Robin's side.
Colonel Robin opened his mouth and said directly.
"Order your people to prepare for an attack immediately!"
"I will send people to hold down the formation behind you to suppress the firepower of the rebels in the direction of the bastion."
Lone Wolf wanted to refuse. The casualties just suffered were too heavy and he could no longer bear it.
"But……"
Colonel Robin stared straight at Lone Wolf and said.
"Not that much but!"
"Your sacrifice will not be in vain. When this battle is over, the Governor's Mansion will pay a price that satisfies you!"
Lone Wolf gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Okay, I can take someone to charge again!"
"But not today, we need to repair it, tomorrow!"
Colonel Robin nodded and agreed.
…
On the second day, the sky was just getting brighter.
The Spanish attacked the bastion again!
The natives were still at the front, with the Spaniards holding down the rear. The cannons they brought into the mountains this time were also displayed by them.
A simple artillery array was established outside the range of the Liberation Army artillery!
