"Use the Dragon Flame Cannon to attack Dragon Flame's troops and don't worry about anything else."
Kent said crazily.
The officers under him were slightly startled when they heard this order.
"General, our troops are currently fighting with the troops of the Dragon Flame Army. At this time, attacking with the Dragon Flame Cannon may injure our people."
"Can't we wait for our troops to withdraw some distance and then bombard them with dragon flame cannons?"
Kent said coldly: "No, let's take advantage of it now. Most of the forwards are Indians. Their casualties are in exchange for victory in the entire battle. The speed must be fast and never give Long Yan's army a chance to fight back!"
"
The officer who refuted him hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to carry out Kent's order.
After their troops started fighting with the Longyan Army, the opponent adopted a close-quarters fighting style, which disabled the French army's long-range attack weapons.
They all knew that the reason why Long Yanjun did this was to delay time.
Wait until their support troops arrive.
At that time, the Longyan Army will be even more difficult to deal with.
After thinking of this, the officer solemnly ordered: "The artillerymen are ready to fire!"
The artilleryman was slightly startled when he heard the order.
It was still dark, so if they fired directly, their artillery attack would most likely hurt their own troops.
Troops from France were wounded.
But orders cannot be disobeyed.
They immediately adjusted their forts and aimed the Dragon Flame Cannon at the French troops who were fighting fiercely, as well as the Dragon Flame troops.
Bang!
The artillery shells drew arcs in the air at extremely high speeds and landed on the battlefield with a rumble.
Qin Changfeng was slightly startled when he saw the sudden explosion on the battlefield.
Both units were engaging in close combat, and it was impossible to launch an artillery attack.
But where did this explosion sound come from?
The French army did not enter the mine trap set by Longyan Army.
Qin Changfeng saw the flames rising above the battlefield in the distance, flashing past very quickly.
His pupils suddenly shrank. Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, the French army guard didn't care at all about the soldiers who were currently fighting.
To fire directly is to let your own troops act as cannon fodder and targets.
Qin Changfeng clenched his fists. He was furious at the choice made by the French general and shouted in a deep voice: "Order, withdraw the troops and stop fighting with the French army."
"The musketeers are on top, cover the retreat!"
"Yes, General!"
Qin Changfeng is not a French general. He will not waste the lives of his soldiers in vain. Withdrawing the troops now is a helpless act, but it is definitely not a cowardly act.
Long Yan's musketeers quickly charged forward. It was only after Long Yan's muskets were improved by Liu Zheng that their range and power were greatly improved.
More importantly, the musket redesigned by Liu Zheng is no longer a single-shot rifle.
But it can do seven consecutive shots.
But every shot requires reloading.
The musketeers' bullets shuttled through the darkness.
Although it was dark night, they were wearing military uniforms of different colors and the unique metal badges of the French army, making it easy for them to reveal their identity even in the dark night.
The military uniforms of the Long Yan Army were also changed to green by Liu Zheng. Their military uniforms also have some patterns of flowers and plants. Sometimes they squat in the grass and you can't even see anyone if you don't look carefully.
The Longyan Musketeer's hit rate is not low in the dark.
Gunfire broke out everywhere, and the French army had to endure not only its own artillery fire, but also the fire from the Dragon Flame Musketeers.
Under such circumstances, we dare not continue the pursuit.
Chapter completed!
