Chapter 4 Under the Sky

Colonel Smith shouted: "Lord Raymond, the other side really has less than a hundred cannons. This is the last chance. You can't wait. The other party must be stepping up the construction of guns..."

Raymond waved his hand with a cold face, and several soldiers dragged him down and even covered his mouth.

And when Adjutant Smith, who had just served as the temporary command of the vanguard force in front of him, was about to continue to order the firing, the rear suddenly rushed to several tiger and wolf soldiers and dragged him down fiercely.

He was in his original position and soon changed to another Marine officer.

The officer waved his hand and finally let the artillery fire contact the whole artillery brigade of Yanlong's foundation quickly and helplessly retreated ten meters in confusion, giving up an inch of gold.

After Lieutenant General Raymond sat in the guard queue blocked by the regiment in front of him, he picked up a glass of water and took a sip, and then slowly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Have the statistics come out?" He said.

The major general, who had been standing upright, hurriedly handed over a piece of paper.

Looking at the lieutenant general's frown again, the major general added in a low voice: "According to the intensity of the other party's gunfire, Yanlong should have more than a hundred guns. Those Yanlong people have only robbed the artillery for a few days. Even if they are imitated, the operation speed of the trained artillery will not keep up. According to the gradual speed data of our artillery battalion training as a reference, the other party has at least 130 artillery at this moment, and they are all at the main gun level.

At this moment, the number of 100 guns and 130 artillery seems to be not much different, but with the help of the geographical advantage of Gaocheng, the region that can be hit will be completely different. They must change another strategic policy to avoid greater losses.

The final fate of any large-scale military operation is often not to see the details. These Western officers attaches great importance to these links.

Raymond nodded and shook his head again: "Of course, Smith's words are not credible. However, it is impossible for Yan Longren to make so many things in such a short time... Well, now the current situation is critical. Of course, the other party is all making main guns, and they will not care about making small cannons. There will be no close-range and accurate secondary guns on the other party's wall.

I have to say that although this Lieutenant General Raymond is a little timid, he still has a unique military vision and is more accurate.

At this moment, he picked up the water glass again and suddenly muttered, "If... the other party spreads nonsense, it can cause an illusion... Or is there really only a hundred cannons?"

The major general handed over another piece of paper: "The war damage report has come out... Yanlong's artillery landing point is accurate, and it seems that it is not indiscriminate."

The other party does not have a telescope, so it is naturally impossible to achieve this accuracy in a random state. But how do they know that there are more than three generals in the other party's camp, even farther than they are holding binoculars?

Lieutenant General Raymond took a look and frowned more tightly: "Is this Yanlong man's manufacturing ability so terrible? In just a few days, so much has been made?

The major general took a look at Colonel Smith, who had been stuffed in his mouth, and said hesitantly, "Yes, Colonel Smith also said that the manufacturing ability of the Yanlong people is extremely terrible..."

"Don't talk about him." Lieutenant General Raymond said angrily, "If it's not him who is reckless, how can the main gun fall into the hands of the Yanlong people? Did you even let the other party capture the trainer alive? If it's not his good work, how can all the soldiers of the first column be killed? If it's not him, our shells can save at least 6,000 rounds.

When the Smith ordered the fleet artillery to bombard the beach, Lieutenant General Raymond had not yet arrived. If he had arrived earlier, he would never have used his precious fire to smash the long but worthless trap gap.

"Most of the methods can be used, and even the deck on the warship can be removed to pave the road. Why did he use the stupidest one? Raymond roared fiercely afterwards: "Because the gunfire is the resource of our Royal Marine Corps, and the deck belongs to his fleet. He is generous to others.

At this moment, Raymond smashed the water cup into pieces and whispered to the major general, "You know how to write a report in the future."

The major general shivered and quickly straightened his legs: "Yes."

......

On the clay wall, Su Yong and others watched each other's movement.

"The artillery queue in front of the other side is retreating." Su Yong said doubtfully, "Why did you attack the city with all your strength just now, but you are going to withdraw at this moment?"

Xiao Changfeng muttered, "Is it necessary to transfer the position and the direction of the main attack?"

Su Yong shook his head and said, "The west side is the most open place, and it is also the place where these heavy weapons can exert the greatest power. What's more, it's not easy for these guys to move on the sand. It's a little difficult for the other party to move."

Old Mr. Hong: "Maybe they have been fighting for a few days. They can't hold on any longer. They have recuperation and make plans until tomorrow." After all, the other party is not like the thick city behind them, houses and cooked food sent by the people in the city. The other party had to add that he could only go back to the boat, which had everything they needed, but a little farther away.

Su Yong nodded and said, "What Commander Hong said is reasonable. After all, people are not machines, and there is always a moment when the spirit is exhausted. I think the other party's commander is thinking that it is not as clear as us at a high place at night, and he plans to attack again during the day.

In fact, Raymond's mind was really guessed by them. The tired general rubbed his temples: "After holding on for so long, it is difficult for the soldiers to continue. What's more, it's not clear in the night. It's easy to fall into the trap of the other party, and the command will also make mistakes. It's better to wait until the daytime."

He stood up, stared at the front, and muttered, "How many cannons do you have? Isn't it clear under the sun?"

He waved his hand decisively and ordered the officials around him, "Withdraw the army. All the artillery retreated to the coast, leaving the guard behind.

Only the struggling Colonel Smith wanted to protest, but no one looked at him.

......

Seeing that they retreated slowly, everyone was also happy. Su Yong suddenly relaxed his body and mind at this moment, and all the fatigue immediately surged up. This time, they are on their way non-stop. When they arrive here, they will immediately participate in the war. I'm afraid that the hard work is not under these soldiers who are sticking to their positions.

When they saw that the other party had retreated completely, their tight heartstrings finally relaxed. This loose, the boundless fatigue immediately surged in, and the eyelids couldn't help falling down, covering the already red eyes.

Countless bedding were quickly dragged on the wall. These soldiers can only sleep in the open air tonight under the sky covered by gunfire and smoke, and on the slate ground of this hard city wall.

But for the Yanlong soldiers who have been struggling for a long time, this is a long-awaited luxury.

Some people have consciously come up to act as night guards, and countless soldiers who have almost exhausted their last strength have fallen asleep before putting down their weapons.

Some are still holding the bow string tightly, some are holding the scabbard, and some are even holding a black shell. But they slept so sweetly under the sky where the smoke was still rising slowly, just like a baby sleeping in the warm arms of a mother.

Even the cold blood knife held by Su Yong is extremely warm at this moment.
