Feng Cai packed his luggage overnight and rushed to the Southern Mountain's City with his sons and old subordinates. He still had a glimmer of hope that those good-for-nothings would not cause a disaster as he had guessed.
Shanxi
The Orckite Army's artillery fire rained down, setting off waves of heat waves. The cannons were specifically aimed at the places where the resistance was the fiercest.
Soon, the fortress on the river bank in front of the city was cleared, leaving only the sparse sounds of gunfire.
The Puppet God Army defending the embankment fought back, repelling wave after wave of attacks. The river bank was littered with the bodies of Orcutt mercenaries and the fallen guards of the Colony Protection Department. However, the Puppet God Army had also paid a considerable price and suffered countless casualties.
"Damned Octopus! I will destroy them one day!"
Liu Fu clenched his fists tightly when he saw the tragic scene on the riverbank. His brothers were blown away by the cannons of the Orckite Army one after another.
"Big brother! The difference in equipment between us and the Orcs is too great. We can't defend that place! I hope the sacrifice of my brothers is worth it!”
Yang En saw that Liu Fu was a little agitated and quickly pushed him, afraid that he would lose his mind.
"I don't know if this is right or wrong, but if I don't do this, I won't have a chance!”
Liu Fu helplessly turned his face away, not having the heart to look at it.
He naturally had his reasons for doing so. He needed a portion of the guards to attract the attention of the Orckite Army so that he could carry out his next move. After all, if they fought head-on, the Puppet God Army would have no chance at all.
After 15 minutes, the Orckite Army had almost finished landing and was ready to continue advancing. Suddenly, a group of Puppet Gods appeared from the forest behind the French Army, appearing between the infantry and the fleet, and attacked from the flanks.
Hundreds of heads emerged from the darkness and quickly swam ashore, attacking from behind the Orckite army. These were the brothers that Liu Fu had recruited from the sea. They could hide quietly without being discovered.
It must be known that there were " water ghosts " in the previous water battles. However, most of the ships of the Orckite army were ironclad, and the wooden ships were covered with a layer of iron, so they could not be used to chisel the ships.
In such close combat, the huge swords and spears in the hands of the soldiers were the best weapons. They waved their weapons and charged forward without fear of death. After a group of brothers died under the muzzle of the guns, they finally came into direct contact with the French army.
"Motherf * cker! Brothers, kill them ruthlessly!"
Huang Yicheng was leading this portion of the Puppet God Army. He was skilled with his broadsword and killed three French soldiers in one go.
"Go to a place with more people. They won't dare to shoot!”
He shouted and squeezed into the crowd.
"Go! Get rid of these fake enemies!"
"Killing one is worth it, killing two is worth it!”
All the soldiers of the Divine Puppet Army charged into the crowd with all their might. Since they had accepted this mission, they knew that it was almost impossible for them to survive.
The spiritual ship was afraid of being accidentally injured, so it could not exert the advantage of artillery fire. After suffering the surprise attack of the puppet army and losing the support of the cannons, the Zhou Country's infantry, who were not good at close combat, were instantly stunned by these large swords and spears.
"Order the security department to retreat and widen the distance! Sacrifice a portion of the guards."
The signal soldier immediately sent out the order.
The Orckite Army began to retreat quickly. They ignored their comrades who were entangled with the Puppet God Army and ran back as if they were risking their lives.
"Kill! The foreign enemy has escaped!"
"It's not that easy to chase after him!"
Everyone was in high spirits, and they were not willing to let the Orketer army off. They charged at the back, leaving behind many Zhou people.
"Hurry up! Don't chase! Tell them to retreat!"
Liu Fu shouted when he saw his underlings, but it was too late.
At this moment, most of the Orcuter Army had already distanced themselves from the Puppet God Army, and their cannons continued to fire.
"Boom! Boom!“
The dense artillery fire landed and exploded in the middle of the puppet army. The puppet army suffered heavy casualties. Even Huang Yicheng, who was charging at the front, was sent flying by the artillery fire.
"Damned Octor!“
Liu Fu's face was ashen. He was relieved when he saw the puppet army slowly retreat. Logically speaking, he should not have defended Shanxi. Instead, he should have fought the game like before.
However, Shansi had great strategic significance. Once it was lost, this nail that could be inserted into the enemy's internal defense would no longer exist.
The Orckite army retreated and used their cannons to plow the riverbank before sending troops to attack again. The Puppet God Army had no choice but to retreat after putting up a fierce resistance. Only 200 out of 1,000 managed to escape. The losses were huge, and the French army had paid the price of 1,200 men.
