Chapter 462 Daqin's First Failure
Originally Meng Tian wanted to order the soldiers to retreat, but he had no choice but to do so. His European army had already rushed in front of the enemy. If he asked them to retreat at this moment, it would only make them die sooner!
Therefore, Meng Tian could only bite the bullet and let these people continue to charge forward. Fortunately, although they suffered heavy casualties, the enemy was also having a hard time.
After several hours of fighting, Meng Tian finally launched the horn to retreat.
A luxurious steel warship, Ying Zheng is sitting on the main seat, besides, Wang Ben and his son, Meng Tian Lisi and others are also in it, everyone's face is a bit gloomy, only Shen Han seems to be a normal person I was eating fruit on the side, and I was still eating with relish.
Ying Zheng's deep voice sounded: "Everyone, what do you think of today's events? After the battle just now, we lost 3,000 people and injured as many as 10,000 people! Although the enemy's casualties were greater than ours, we But did not take Pearl Island!"
"We don't have time to spend here, because the enemy still has a lot of reinforcements. Those small families who have taken refuge in John will come here to support them within three days at most after receiving the order. At that time, we will be attacked by the enemy. , it will be very dangerous, even if we have steel warships and artillery, it is impossible to fight with so many enemies at the same time
Our soldiers are human beings, they are not gods!"
"So we must make a quick decision, not only to eliminate these enemies, but also to occupy the city wall!"
"However, due to the problem of the hidden reef, our steel warships cannot land on Pearl Island. How should we solve this problem?"
Ying Zheng's voice fell, and everyone was silent. Obviously, they didn't know what to do at the moment. After the tragic battle just now, they also knew how cruel the battle was. Not big, even if they can forcibly take this city, they can't estimate the final casualties.
There are more than 100,000 people in the European army, and these people's combat effectiveness is also very good. When fighting against some ordinary noble troops, they can often play a very good role
Their combat power is almost comparable to that of the regular armies of the three empires!
0…ask for flowers……
These people are also Yingzheng's wealth, it is impossible for him to let these people die at will!
Meng Tian, as the coach this time, had a huge problem in this attack, and he himself was to blame. Seeing Ying Zheng's questioning, he could only sigh helplessly: "Your Majesty, if our steel warship It’s good to be able to rush up, as long as there are artillery attacks, we can easily destroy their city walls, and when the time comes, the brothers will directly rush to the island, use muskets to shoot at them from a long distance, and the entire island can be easily taken down!"
Of course everyone agrees with Meng Tian's words, but this is already impossible, because the geographical environment here is too special, with countless densely packed hidden reefs, which make it impossible for large steel ships to approach the island. This is their biggest challenge. The advantage is gone immediately, which is equivalent to cutting off an arm!
"Then what should we do now? It's impossible to stay here all the time, right?"
"The defenders of Pearl Island are very cunning. They used rockets and burned dozens of our warships!".
