Because the hull stabilized, the shells fired this time were accurate and fierce! Even the light cannons on the deck were added to the shelling!

At the same time, the gunboats lowered a large number of small boats from the port side. The Marines shouted and climbed onto the boat from the rope net, and then quickly sailed to the shore! Since the boat was only stranded on the shore, it was very close to the beach on the shore. They climbed onto the beach before Qiqi Tao!

These Marines quickly lined up and advanced forward. After moving forward for dozens of steps, they began to use dense volleys to shoot the soldiers of the Western Army on the encirclement! After only five rounds of shooting, they penetrated the encirclement in the direction of the river beach!

The musketeers who were originally surrounded had already made up their minds to die! They quickly danced the bayonets to open the other's weapons and stabbed the bayonets into the other's body! They covered each other and formed a close battle formation, ready to fight to the death!

But when they suddenly saw more than a dozen exploding smoke and dust rising from the other party's team, they knew that the reinforcements had finally arrived! All the silent soldiers suddenly burst into cheers, and the bayonets in their hands were waving faster and more powerfully! For a moment, they forced the soldiers of the Western Army to retreat a few steps!

Then more artillery shells fell, killing a large number of Daxi soldiers, which made everyone's morale even more! All the soldiers encouraged each other and gritted their teeth and persevered, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements! They believed that artillery was coming to reinforce them, and then there would definitely be infantry to pick them up later! The soldiers dragged the bodies and wounded into the phalanx, and overcame their physical fatigue and continued to fight with the Daxi army!

The Daxi Army seemed to know that the reinforcements the enemy was waiting for had arrived, and they also responded one after another. Some officers began to urge the soldiers to move forward desperately and must tear a hole in the other party's phalanx! But more soldiers hesitated, and they didn't know if they could win if they continued to fight? A few Daxi Army soldiers had begun to retreat quietly! This reduced the pressure on the phalanx!

Immediately afterwards, more flowering bullets came, causing a real bloody storm among the crowds of the Daxi Army! The musketeers could even see the broken limbs and broken arms splashing in the flames and smoke! This time, the Daxi Army was in a flash.

The morale of the army has continued!

Not long after, neat sounds of gunfire sounded in the direction of the river bank! All the musket soldiers were happy! They fiddled with muskets all day long, and their sound had long been engraved in their instinct! They could tell whose fire was shooting at them just by listening!

Qi Qitao's staff officer also carried a bayonet and shouted loudly: "Brothers, reinforcements are here! Take a slow attack towards the river beach!"

The musket soldiers on the river bank immediately tightened their formation and stepped forward alternately. The bayonets in their hands danced even more! But before the soldiers of the Western Army made the decision to retreat or attack, the Marines knocked them to the ground several rounds of musket firing in succession!

When the musketeers saw that there were only one or two people who were surrounded by thin people, they stabbed all the people in front to the ground with force, completely opening the passage! The remaining soldiers of the Western Army fled to both sides!

Through the gap, they also saw the crossing team on the shore! The staff officer immediately recognized through his military uniform that this was the Marine Corps. He shouted excitedly: "Brothers, the fleet is here! The Marine Corps is here!"

The musket soldiers cheered again, speeding up their movements, wanting to meet with the Marines as soon as possible! And the two sides met easily! Since the tactics learned by both sides are the same routine, the teams of both sides can easily merge together to form a new square formation!

When the staff officer saw that the retreat was worry-free, he shouted loudly: "Everyone is determined! Maintain the current front!"

The order he gave was very correct, because now they were not required to fight against the enemy at all. The three gunboats that were stranded on the shore were bombarded by the soldiers of the Western Army at a speed of 18 flowering bullets per round! So they just need to stand still and protect themselves!

Sure enough, the three gunboats quickly assigned their targets and began to shoot at the dense crowd! After only two rounds of shooting, the soldiers of the Daxi Army could not hold on and retreated involuntarily!

Liu Wenxiu, standing on the top of the mountain, watched his opponent smash his ideas into pieces! Although he didn't know much about artillery, he knew the artillery on the warship when the shells exploded.

It is much more powerful than infantry artillery!

He dared to bet that his soldiers had to withstand only five rounds of shelling! Sure enough, when the fourth round of shelling was over, the soldiers retreated because they had already started crying for their parents!

And Liu Wenxiu even understood that since three gunboats were approaching, it means that a large fleet was behind! When the real fleet arrived, it would not be a problem with 18 artillery! I'm afraid that 180 guns would be popular, and I will be even more unstoppable by then!

So he thought about it for a while and finally made up his mind to say, "Order everyone to retreat for a distance, and then build fortifications on the spot to block them here!"

At this time, he saw that the ships in the heart of the river had turned back and rowed towards the shore, and he knew that victory had slipped away from his hands! However, because of its order, the soldiers of the Western Army retreated smoothly and began to build fortifications on the hills on both sides.

Qi Qitao, who had landed on the land again, looked at them coldly at the construction of fortifications, and didn't know what they were thinking about, and sneered from time to time on his face! It was not until the three captains arrived that a smile appeared on his face!

Qi Qitao saluted before the three captains and said, "Thanks to you three come in time! Otherwise, our losses would be great today! The most important issue is that if we are defeated, all plans must be postponed! That will delay the great affairs of the general!"

After the three officers were flattered and returned the gift, Lianlian said that they were all lucky. Qi Qitao asked: "How far is the other ships from here?"

One of the captains said: "Based on the speed, it should not be more than five or six miles away now! Maybe it will be closer!"

At this time, the staff officer had already organized the defense line and walked over and said, "General, now the Great Western Army has occupied our original position. What should we do?"
Chapter completed!
