Chapter 1369: Han Qi World (59)
The red iron bomb with powerful and unparalleled power easily crossed the Yingshui River. Sun Haifeng was horrified to see that the embankment protective fortress they had spent so much effort was easily torn apart like a piece of paper. The buildings made of blue bricks and cement were split in the loud bang, and pieces of residue were flying in the air. He even saw several soldiers in the fort flying into the sky with their hands and feet, and then fell on the beach under the embankment. The blood instantly dyed the white sand into a dazzling red.
The iron bullets rolled on the position and jumped, destroying obstacles that hindered him along the way, and igniting everything that could ignite. The originally orderly defensive position was in chaos. The soldiers ran away and tried their best to avoid the sickle of the god of death, but this round thing had no rules at all. It was rolling on this end at the last moment, and the next moment, a small stone could make him fly in the air, change direction, and continue his destruction.
Sun Haifeng's eyes widened, and he watched an iron ball rolling towards him, slower and slower. Finally, the killing god who had turned from red to dark again stopped in front of him less than five meters, and there was no sound anymore. Around him, all the soldiers looked at the monster with all their hearts, their hands and feet trembling, and they were confused and did not know where they were.
Sun Haifeng turned around and in this short time, the floating bridge built by the Han army broke forward for about ten meters in the river, and had already crossed the middle line of the Yingshui River.
"Blast, fight back! Sink their floating bridge!" Sun Haifeng, who came to his senses, waved his sword and forced the lost soldiers to return to their posts. However, the just round of artillery bombs had destroyed many crossbows and stone cannons. Although they barely fired again, the density was much lower than before, and the accuracy was even unknown. Many soldiers in Yingchuan County trembled, and several even injured their insteps because of carrying stone bullets and loading them with stone trenchers.
A scream of life-destroying sound rang out in the air again. This time, no one was hesitating or waiting. The soldiers shouted wildly, ran back, and the things that came from the other side were not something that manpower could resist. No matter how Sun Haifeng yelled, it would not be possible to get the soldiers back to their posts.
The second round of artillery bombardment smashed a defensive line about a hundred meters long on the opposite bank to pieces. Ye Feng held a telescope that he had just obtained from Gao Yuan and observed the situation on the opposite side. This telescope is really a good thing. Although it is so far away, what you see is as if it is in front of you. Ye Feng could even observe the distraught expression on the faces of the soldiers in Yingchuan County on the other side.
"It's a good fight. Tell the artillery battalion to replace the shotgun, kill the opponent's soldiers, and clear obstacles for the infantry to land." Putting down the telescope, Ye Feng turned around and said to the messenger beside him.
The messenger turned around and waved the two small flags in his hand vigorously in the direction of the artillery camp.
Sun Haifeng tried his best. Finally, he gathered hundreds of soldiers and rushed into the gap that was blown up by the other side. On this defensive line, they no longer had long-range weapons. They could only hold bows and arrows and passively wait for the enemy to set up a pontoon bridge and step onto the shore. Some crossbows and stone cannons on both sides were fired weakly, with extremely poor accuracy. Apart from making huge waves in the river, they almost did not cause any damage to the enemy.
When their infantry stepped ashore, they led their troops to rush to the beach and fought with the enemy in a group. In this way, their most powerful weapons would not be able to play a role. Sun Haifeng thought in his heart, holding the big knife tightly in his hand, his teeth clenched, and the embankment defense was broken, but this was not a war effort. It was not a problem with his command ability, but the weapons of the Han army that he could not resist at all.
But we are not without opportunities, and our final goal is to fight between people.
Sun Haifeng watched the pontoon bridge extending to the shore. This time he finally saw clearly that there was an iron buckle on the four corners of the rectangular water tanks. The Han army inserted long iron rods from the buckle and stabbed them into the bottom of the riverbed. The soldiers on it hit the sledgehammers so that these water tanks could stand firmly on the river. In order to strengthen, the Han army even threw down iron anchors to help the stability of the pontoon bridge.
The soldiers on the other side had already stepped onto the pontoon bridge. Han soldiers wearing armor and even wearing protective masks on their faces shouted and rushed towards this side along more than ten pontoon bridges. Because of the masks, their screaming sound was a bit dull. The pontoon bridge swayed left and right because of the steps of these soldiers, and their draws deepened greatly, but this did not prevent the opponent from charging towards this side at an extremely fast speed.
In the end, it is up to people to finally resolve the battle! Sun Haifeng took a breath. This is what he was most afraid of. As a famous hero in Yingchuan County, hand-to-hand combat is his strength, and the scars on his body are the glory and medals he has charged in the past few years.
The strange scream sounded again in the air. Sun Haifeng's heart sank. He looked up at the air. The damn thing came again. Iron balls flew over to them. Sun Haifeng's heart widened. It seemed that he had hit him too much. This thing would not turn in the air, but his thoughts had not turned yet. The iron balls suddenly exploded on the top of their heads, and a sound of whizzing sounded in his ears.
Sun Haifeng saw that the soldiers he had finally gathered fell to the ground like harvesting wheat. In a blink of an eye, this area was almost wiped out.
Sun Haifeng looked at it in a daze, feeling that all the strength in his body instantly disappeared from his body. He felt a little uncomfortable in his breathing, and his hissing sound came out of his throat. He lowered his head. He saw several iron pieces embedded in his armor. He reached out to try to pull it out, but found that the sharp iron pieces were embedded tightly on the armor. A tick sound sounded, and blood fell on his armor like a raindrop. Suddenly, he felt pain. He reached out and touched his throat. There was an iron piece there. He pulled it hard, and the blood spurted out with the pulled iron piece. Sun Haifeng fell down to the sky and the earth. The big knife in his hand hit the ground with wide eyes, his eyes wide open, and he could not die.
It is not a crime of war! This hero of Yingchuan County is still circling with this sentence in his last thought. It is not his own fault, it is irresistible at all.
The Han soldiers shouted and stepped onto the beach. Teams quickly scattered, spreading their occupied areas along this huge gap to the two sides of the shore. On the embankment, the soldiers of Yingchuan County had already lost their fighting spirit and were driven around by the Han soldiers as if they were driven into sheep.
On the tower of Yingchuan County, Gongsun Zhi witnessed the five thousand defensive troops he arranged on the embankment and were defeated in an instant, causing no difficulties for the Han army. He even suspected that the opponent defeated his defense and whether there were any casualties.
What weapon is that? Why can it be shot through such a wide river? It can still have such power. In Yingchuan County, the farthest trencher can't hit so far. Seeing the red iron bombs destroying the defensive fortress as easy as eating and drinking water, Gongsun Zhi's original confidence suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment.
"General Gongsun, can you open the city gate?" A deputy general beside him turned pale. At this time, under the city, a group of soldiers from Yingchuan County who had retreated from the river embankment were shouting loudly to open the door, but behind them, the Han soldiers were coming. If the city gate was opened and they were letting them in, I was afraid that even the Han soldiers would be put in.
"You can't drive, let them walk around the city." Gongsun Zhi hardened his heart.
Hearing the shouting on the city, the soldiers of Yingchuan County below shouted in despair, and some fled to both sides. In order to run faster, they ran away while throwing away the weapons in their hands and even took off their armor. However, the other part burst out with strong fighting spirit in despair and turned around and killed the Han army that was chasing.
On the city tower, Gongsun Zhi watched his soldiers being chopped to the ground one by one by the Han army, and he closed his eyes in pain.
Ye Feng stepped onto the floating bridge with satisfaction and captured the opponent's embankment defense position. In less than an hour, thousands of enemy troops disappeared. It turns out that equipment is the first priority. Ye Feng knew how much silver his troops would spend in the national treasury. This was a completely piled up of silver, and its equipment was much stronger than the Young Guards.
When he stepped onto the beach with his feet, his soldiers had swept the remaining enemies cleanly. The engineer battalion then crossed the river. Their task was to demolish the houses between the embankment and the Yingchuan County City to create an open field for the army's attack. These people were experts in this field. When they did their work, how fast and easy it was to do it? Under Ye Feng's gaze, they quickly advanced forward. Wherever they passed, the simple houses instantly turned into pieces of residue and were then crushed to a flat state.
Attacking Yingchuan County City is much more difficult than dikes. At least Ye Feng knew that his opponents were equipped with gunpowder weapons. They also had grenades, which were used to fill the grenades in pots. Although they were not as good as the grenades of the Han army, they were not slower to kill people than the grenades of the Han army. The opponents did not have their own heavy artillery, but they made them into bags, and after they tied them up, they also posed a big threat to their soldiers. It was impossible to imagine as easy as before.
"Transfer heavy artillery across the river first." Ye Feng ordered. "Be careful. If this sinks into the river, you can't get your salary for a year and you won't be able to buy his letter base."
