The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1178: Unprecedented loss

Preliminary loss statistics have come out. The unprecedented loss can be said to be the rare situation in which the Southeast Army suffered such a big loss in so many years.

  The fire in the dock area was soaring, and the thick and large plumes of smoke rose high, and the roaring sound was endless. It turned out to be like a volcanic eruption, the end of the world!

A kerosene farm was ignited. There were more than 30,000 cans of siege kerosene bombs shipped from China. Fortunately, when the Mughal cavalry came, the manager here, Captain Ouding, commanded calmly. The officers and soldiers ignited the kerosene bomb. When they evacuated the fire, a violent explosion sounded, and the shock wave rushed in, almost blowing away the helmets on their heads!

   Ou Dingzhi led his troops back to the city safely, and finally passed the dangerous hurdle, and was promoted after the war.

   Due to the quick response of the defenders, the city closed the door and did not fall. This was the first luck for the Mumbai people.

   However, it is not easy for the cavalry to break through the city of Mumbai. Because of the caution of the Chinese, the gates of Mumbai are double-layered and there is an urn city. Therefore, many officers and soldiers returning to the city are accepted, and no one can enter the city.

   The second luck is that the kerosene was ignited, otherwise the 30,000 kerosene bombs would hit the city of Mumbai, and the Chinese would really want to cry without tears.

   The third lucky thing is that the gunpowder depot in the wharf area was also ignited. It was a shocking explosion and a big earthquake. The solid concrete buildings in the wharf area were shaking, and the surrounding glass windows were shattered and scattered all over the place!

   Almost a gunpowder storage area the size of a football field was completely destroyed. The huge amount of gunpowder stored was not captured by the enemy.

   The warrior or the actions of the warriors detonated by the gunpowder detonation are no longer traceable. The defenders have no survivors. After the war, they were credited for their bravery and fearlessness.

The Southeast Army’s provisions are detailed. When facing the danger of enemy seizure of flammable and explosive munitions, the defenders must put their lives aside, and first deal with those munitions and prevent them from falling into the enemy’s hands. Obviously, the defenders have fulfilled their duties. .

  The bravery of the gate soldiers and warehousemen is pale, and it is hard to hide the enemy's ravages!

   They set fire to the ships in rows at the pier. Because of the sudden incident, there was not a single big ship that had time to start, and it was too close to the shore. The Mughal cavalry threw torches and launched rockets, all of which were ignited!

   Only a few frigates escaped by paddling, but the crew was obviously scarce, and the counterattack was weak.

   In the dock, two Tier 5 cruise ships under maintenance were burned. The flames were quite magnificent, just like two large piles of firewood were burning.

   I want to thank the military regulations of the Southeast Army. All battleship maintenance must be returned to the country and not abroad. Otherwise, any non-combat attrition of battleships will make the navy leaders want to cry.

   Even if it is a big business, the upper navy who have come from hard years have always been diligent and thrifty, and will never allow battleships to be lost in vain.

   The entire waterport area was blazing with fire, and there were countless people burned to death, smoked to death, and drowned.

  Some people were on the boat. The boat caught fire and dived to escape, but when they were swimming near the shore, they were shot by the cavalry on the shore. The corpses sank to the bottom and the water became red...

   After the war, the figures for the loss of people outside Mumbai are listed as top secret, but the pensions given by the army are sky-high!

The Southeast Army has no shortage of heroic behaviors against the enemy. As long as they can fight, they will take up weapons to fight. They defeated the enemy's cavalry. However, there are not many sharpshooters. Once they cannot form a musket and spear formation, it will be difficult to contain the cavalry's attack. Charge down and collapse the array.

Compared with the bows and arrows of the Mughal cavalry, the power of the flintlock is really not so good. The maximum range of the front-mear flintlock is about 300 meters, and the effective killing range is about 70 meters. The general maximum range of the ancient bow and crossbow is about 300 meters. , And the accuracy is very high, you can aim accurately, and the rate of fire is also high.

  The reason why the Southeast Army's flintlock army is so powerful is that it has a large number of people and artillery. The same Hong Maofan who also plays guns is no match for the Ottomans, because they have few people!

  The invading cavalry is obviously rich in experience and strong offensive ability. They attacked with a few cavalry, shooting arrows and fire, creating a tense atmosphere, forming an atmosphere of terror that they are ubiquitous, and they are extremely flexible.

   Then, with Hundred Cavaliers as a team, quickly wiped out all the Southeast Army that dared to resist.

There were shouts of killing on all sides. The southeast army soldiers fighting each other were shaken and rushed to the city desperately. They were in the arms of the Mughal people. They chased and killed them. They rushed forward to kill when they had the opportunity, and shot arrows from afar, many The officers and soldiers fell on the road when they saw the towering city of Mumbai.

   The training ground for recruits outside the city has 10,000 Indian soldiers. If there are tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers, I am afraid that the Mughals will run away with their tails in their hands.

   What a pity!

   This is an Indian soldier. You can never expect your third brother to perform miracles. Even if there are 300 Chinese instructors under the command of them, and some guns were issued, the third brother was still disintegrated during the First World War!

   For the third buddies who fled and rushed for the road, the Mughal did not even waste horsepower and arrows on them!

  The worst was the 206 Military Hospital. Except for Lieutenant General Cabot who was rescued by his brave guards, few other personnel escaped.

   More than 500 experienced medical staff lost all their losses, and they were classified as the biggest loss among all the losses.

   District Huichang martyr, a burn specialist, the survival rate of burn victims treated by him is 10% higher than that of ordinary doctors.

   Everyone knows that the level of medical treatment in ancient times was not very good, and the level of Chinese medicine was a little better, but the decoction had a slow onset of effect, and there were still serious deficiencies in clinical medicine, especially for the treatment of gunshot wounds and burns.

  Dan District Doctor Huichang took a different approach, using the treasure house of Chinese medicine and ancient prescriptions, and with great concentration, he unearthed a kind of burn ointment, which has a high curative effect on the number of burns.

   Although he was killed in battle, fortunately his burn ointment prescription was preserved. Later, the military organized experts to tackle key problems and carried forward this burn ointment. In memory of the district doctor, he named it "Huichang ointment."

   Lu Shuhua martyr, a famous old Chinese doctor, nicknamed "Yan Wangshou", he was skilled in medicine and good at conditioning. The wounded who could not die on the spot fell into his hands and almost all survived.

   Martyr Qi Weijian, Martyr Xia Guiping, and Martyr Fu Xiaowen, three famous doctors, are all first-class experts in clinical medicine, and they are the nemesis of battlefield injuries.

   It is sad that they are very young, and they are among the best in the first generation of military doctors cultivated by the military medical system of the southeastern country, and they have all died in this battle.

   There are also many doctors and nurses, all of whom are medical and nursing forces cultivated by the Southeast Army with huge resources.

  Even though their skills are not as good as famous doctors, they use their medical skills to rejuvenate and form the best military medical system on the planet. They have rescued a large number of wounded in the Southeast Army ~ lightnovelpub.net~ and boosted the confidence of the Southeast Army.

   It's a pity that they all died, because no one stood up and raised their hands to surrender, and the cavalry could not dismount their horses and take prisoners, so they were all hacked to death.

   Some female nurses were taken captive and mounted, and what awaits them is a terrible fate.

  ……

The explosions, fire, black smoke, and brutal screams outside the city, and the screams that came from time to time, were all stinging Lieutenant General Cabot at the head of the city. He asked Lai Yongjun tragically: "We lose How many people are there?"

   Lai Yongjun, the young chief of staff, said dumbly: "The navy has suffered a lot. Most of them are on board!"

   The naval port was attacked, and the navy became a toothless tiger. It was caught off guard, and the ships in the docking area were full of fire, shocking.

   "There are also military hospitals, warehouses, training grounds...all played!" Two lines of tears flowed from Lai Yongjun's eyes.

   "How about the troops I asked you to prepare?" Cabot asked, his Chinese is very fluent, and there is no difficulty in talking. He was also an early Chinese subsidy who came to China to help foreigners and got his hands early.

   "All are ready, there are 3,500 people in total!" Lai Yongjun said.

   "Very well, I opened the south gate, I took them out of the city, and rescued the surviving comrades. If you can save one, that's one!" Cabot said firmly.

   A quarter of an hour later, the Mughal Rangers who were watching outside the South Gate of Mumbai were surprised to find that the city gate was opened, and groups of Chinese were going out of the city with murderous aura!
