Chapter 708 Never surrender to the Orientals

On the surface of the Perak River, some rafts and small boats carried soldiers from the Malay Overseas Chinese Coalition Army to attack the west bank. They were driven from the west bank to the east bank by the coalition forces of Frangji and Perak, and now they are going to fight back.

On the west bank, the Allied Forces of Flangji and Piliguo fired a rain of arrows, and many arrows fell on the raft and in the Perak River.

With a bang, a Malay soldier was hit by an arrow and fell into the river, splashing water. The Malay and overseas Chinese coalition forces on the raft could only hide behind the wooden boards of the raft or boat, holding simple wooden shields or leather shields to resist the opponent's arrow rain.However, the thin wooden shield could not resist the sharp arrows at all, and was easily pierced by the arrow, nailing the wooden shield and the soldier's hand holding the shield together.

Under the attack of arrows from the Frangji and Perak troops on the opposite side, the Malay and overseas Chinese coalition forces still had no intention of retreating, and still desperately crossed the river.

The Frangji officer who reinforced Perak is very depressed now. He doesn't understand why the Malay and overseas Chinese coalition forces who have been driven to the other side counterattacked like chicken blood.If it is an ordinary indigenous army, even if it does not collapse under their attack, the morale of the army will be demoralized, and it is impossible to organize a counterattack with high morale.

When Frangji's 400-man detachment and the Perak National Army blocked the counterattacking Malay and overseas Chinese coalition forces along the river bank, a 500-man Kyushu Army detachment had already crossed the Perak River from the upper reaches and attacked their camp from the north!
"I found the musket army of the Orientals in the north. The firepower was so fierce that the natives of Perak could not resist and began to retreat!"

Just when the Frangji officer was puzzled, he soon learned the reason why the Malay-Overseas Chinese Allied Forces did this. The seemingly ferocious suicide offensive on the river was just a cover-up for the main force to cross the river from the upper reaches. That's all.

"They are just some Chinese businessmen and Malay aborigines in the north, how could there be a musket army??" Officer Frangji was still puzzled.

"It is very likely that the Kyushu Army sent troops to reinforce these Chinese merchants!" Some Frangji bosses keenly judged that the army attacking from the upstream was the reinforcements of the Kyushu Army.

"Damn it, didn't the Dutch form the East Indian Allied Forces? Why did the Kyushu Army participate in the war, and they didn't send any news in advance! Prepare to evacuate!" Officer Frangji immediately gave up his natives when he heard that the Kyushu Army had joined the war. Teammates immediately gave the order to retreat.

A skirmish line composed of 400 Kyushu Army soldiers pressed down on the natives of Perak, and started shooting at a distance of [-] meters. As the soldiers of the Kyushu Army approached, the bullets with strong penetrating power easily penetrated the aborigines. Shields, armor, it was a one-sided massacre.

When the natives of Perak were still about 100 meters away from the soldiers of the Kyushu Army, they could no longer bear the heavy casualties, and collapsed like an avalanche.

These regressed Perak natives not only messed up their own positions, but also caused a huge impact on the formation of the Frang robots.

"Damn aborigines, go around and don't block our way!"

The Frangji detachment was still able to barely maintain its formation, but the retreat of Perak's army was chaotic, which somewhat hindered the Frangji from evacuating the battlefield.The Frangji soldiers yelled and cursed, and I don't know if the soldiers from Perak could understand them.

The 500 soldiers of the Kyushu Army led by Lin Qi easily spotted the blond-haired and blue-eyed Frangji soldiers in the chaotic camp of the enemy. They were in stark contrast to the black-haired and black-eyed Perakians, and they were very conspicuous.

"Give up chasing the deserters from Perak, and stop that Frangji army for me!" Lin Qi shouted.

Sooner or later, Perak will be cleaned up, and it will not be difficult at all. What Lin Qi and the others want to eliminate is the Frangji army on the Malay Peninsula, reducing the defensive power of Malacca City.

The soldiers of the Kyushu Army held muskets, divided into two units to outflank, and drove thousands of panicked Perak soldiers to press down on the Frangji unit.

Franz soldiers gradually fell into a panic.

"Sir, I suggest that we should immediately abandon our two artillery pieces and retreat lightly." The Frangji soldier shouted.

"This is a very good cannon..." Officer Franji looked at the two cannons pushed by the gunner distressedly.These two cannons were the best cannons they brought from the city of Malacca, and they were specially used to help Perak against the Malay and overseas Chinese coalition forces. Are they going to be destroyed by themselves like this?

"If you don't destroy it, it will be too late!" The Frangji soldier anxiously urged his superiors to give up the artillery.

"Destroy them!" The Frangji officer almost gritted his teeth and gave the order to destroy the artillery.

Soon the gunners blew up their most precious artillery with black powder.

The French machine unit evacuated urgently to the south.

The retreat of the Frangji and Perak coalition forces reduced the pressure on the Malay and overseas Chinese coalition forces who were crossing the river, and they quickly landed on the beach.

"His second uncle, the Kyushu Army is really powerful. As soon as he made a move, these Westerners didn't dare to fight, so they retreated! We were driven away by hundreds of them!" Deng Deng, the leader of the overseas Chinese who led the Malay Overseas Chinese Alliance On the east bank of the Perak River, seeing the soldiers of Frangji retreating quickly, I couldn't help feeling that the gap between the two sides was so big.

Before the Frangji detachment had time to push to Perak City, it was surrounded by 500 Kyushu Army soldiers led by Lin Qi on a small hillside.In addition to the Frangji, some soldiers from the Perak Kingdom were also blocked on the hillside.

"It's all your fault that you idiots actually blocked our way, otherwise we would have evacuated long ago! Hurry up and dig the earth and build a wall, or we will all die here!" The soldiers of Frangji ordered the soldiers of Perak to dig stones in dissatisfaction. They built a stone wall and planned to defend it on the hillside.

"Sir, there is only one spring on this hillside, and the water source will probably dry up soon." Some Frangji soldiers were enslaving the indigenous army to build fortifications, while the other soldiers were looking for water sources.

"The water source is not the biggest problem. Most of the food we brought this time was lost when we retreated just now. The water source has not been exhausted, so the food is probably gone." The logistics officer was also worried.

"Do everything you can to resist, if you can't hold on, then dig grass roots, dig rat holes to catch mice to eat. I believe that as long as we hold on for a while, the East Indian Allied Forces will soon send people to rescue us!" Buddha Officer Lang Ji resolutely said, "There is no precedent for us Western troops to surrender to the Easterners. If we surrender to the Easterners and the news spreads back to Europe, everyone will laugh at us!"

"We swear to God that we will never surrender to the Orientals!" The remaining Frangji soldiers also vowed.
