Chapter 1450: The World of Han Flags (140)
In the middle of the night, the entire Yingchuan County City was in chaos. The explosion sounded from time to time, and the heavy artillery on the other side shot one on the left and one on the right shot were scrambling to the inside of Yingchuan County City. Although there was no clear target, there were too many Chu troops in the city. There were always some shells that could kill and injure many people by blind confusion.
But what really caused great casualties to the Chu army was not the artillery from the other side, nor the explosions from the city, but the explosion camps and the killings between each other.
In the dark night, with the sound of explosions and bombardment, the whole city was in chaos. Most of the more than a hundred Han soldiers chose to wear the armor of the Chu army and sneaked into the Chu army running on the street, and then began their sinister and obscene murder.
This assassination eventually triggered a larger-scale chaos. In the chaos, the two Chu troops could not argue with each other and then more and more soldiers participated in the battle like snowballs.
Faced with such chaos, Bai Xizhong could only order all troops to leave the city immediately, and began to purify one by one during the process of leaving the city. When the sky was bright, the Chu army in the city finally calmed down. However, the Yingchuan County City, which was still peaceful and safe yesterday, had already changed a lot. There were burning fires everywhere, charred broken walls, dazzling red blood and corpses everywhere.
Bai Xizhong was trembling, and he was completely angry. The eighty-year-old mother was so angry that she was so angry that she was so ugly by a doll general in her twenties.
Bai Xi saw Mei Hua in a small way, but he didn't really think about it. Although Mei Hua was young, he had participated in only more wars than him, not less than him, and he had experienced the kind of battle on the edge of life and death. It was even more incomparable to Bai Xi. The evil tricks that could be thought of in the war. Mei Hua was a genius. The Chu State had been peaceful for too long, and even the generals of this level in Bai Xi participated in too few real wars.
Less means lack of experience, and less means lack of means of response in the face of changes.
Mei Hua achieved a huge victory that was not a real battle at the cost of more than a hundred soldiers.
"Our army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, most of which were caused by killing each other." The Chu generals standing in front of Bai Xizhong with their heads hanging down were all dressed, with shame on their faces. Even the chaos last night was wrapped in them. Until they found out that something was wrong, they had already shed too much blood.
"Have you found those spies?" Bai Xizhong asked as he tried his best to suppress his anger.
"I've found it, and now I've found more than 80 corpses of spies. They put on our army's clothes outside and created this great chaos. We didn't identify them until dawn. Then we killed them one by one."
Bai Xizhong stood up and walked to the battlements. Under the city wall, a row of corpses were neatly arranged, and the Chu army uniforms on the outside had been stripped, revealing the Han army uniforms inside.
"It was the engineer unit of the Han army. Some of the people who were best at digging walls and digging holes were hiding in the city in advance and concealed themselves very little. Our search team did not find it. This made them succeed." A general explained in a low voice. Before the war started, the loss was already so great that no one felt very annoyed.
Bai Xizhong Huodi turned around and walked to the other side of the Yingshui River. His eyes were filled with anger when he looked at the other side: "Look for all ships that can cross the river. Find all the wood that can be tied into rafts, cross the river, attack, and break through Yingshui City. I will cut them into pieces."
On the small square in front of the county yamen in Yingshui County, dozens of stone tablets were erected in front and back. The names of the soldiers stationed here were engraved on the stone tablets. The first one at the front was Mei Hua's own name. Around the stone tablets, more than a thousand fully armed soldiers stood in a stern manner with guns. At this time, led by Mei Hua, about a thousand soldiers were arranged in neat square formations and standing in front of these stone tablets.
In the silence, Mei Hua strode forward. A personal soldier next to the stone tablet handed Mei Hua a brush. When he lifted the pen, Mei Hua gently dipped it in the cinnabar bowl held by the soldier. When he lifted the pen, he described a name on one of the stone tablets in red.
There are more and more red names, but it only occupies a small corner on the entire stone tablet.
One hundred and twenty-one names turned red, Mei Hua threw his pen to the ground and took a step back.
"Salute!" Mei Hua shouted angrily.
With a loud bang, all the flags were flattened to their chests, and more than a thousand soldiers held their feet and saluted, paying their highest salute to the 121 engineer brothers who had already sacrificed their lives.
Turning around, he looked at the thousands of soldiers behind him, all from the student army of Jishicheng Military University.
"There are 15,725 names here, including me and you. Before our names turn red, Yingshui City will never throw them away from us. Are you ready?" Mei Hua stretched out his arm and pointed his halberd at the soldiers.
"Be ready at all times!" The students and soldiers roared. This sentence was the motto engraved at their school gate. Every day, they would see these five big words.
"Please go somewhere else when you get promoted and get rich!"
"Don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and fear death!"
A sound of roar burst out from the small square and rang throughout the city.
I don’t know where in the city, the Han army’s military songs began to sing. Slowly, the sound of military songs rang out everywhere in the city, gradually gathering into a torrent of sound, floating over Yingshui County.
As the military singing, Mei Hua strode towards the walls of Yingshui County. From the beach, to the embankment, and then to the county town, the ladder-like defense formed a steel position to resist the Chu army. At this time, flags were flying above the position and the singing was shaking the sky.
Standing on the city tower and watching this bloody scene, Mei Hua laughed: "In life, there is such a battle, why not regret death? Come on, Chu people, let me see your courage."
While Mei Hua was standing on the city tower and showing great enthusiasm, Long Bin, the first powerful general under his command, was standing in front of a heavy artillery, holding a telescope and staring at the other side. More and more Chu troops were gathering on the beach. Unlike the embankment made of completely steel and concrete, the Yingzhou County City when Tan Feng was in charge did not apply these precious war materials to the river embankment. At this moment, from the embankment to the river embankment, the thick snow was frozen hard, and the soldiers were rushing down the embankment and gathering on the beach. The rafts that had just been laid down were also dragged down.
"Do you think it will be cold to fall into the water at this time?" Long Bin suddenly turned his head to look at the busy cannon leader.
The cannon leader was stunned for a moment, "That's all I need to say, I'll be frozen even if I don't go into the water." The cannon leader stretched out his hands, and their hands were swollen, covered with frostbite.
"Damn it, why did you freeze so much? Didn't you all get gloves?" Long Bin was startled.
"The villain needs to check the cannon. Wearing gloves affects the feel. If this is not handled properly, what should I do if the chamber is blown up? This is all I can do!" The cannon leader smiled.
"Thank you so hard!" Long Bin nodded in understanding and handed the telescope to the cannon leader. "Have you seen clearly that triangular stone? It's snowy on it, but it's not easy to find, but it can still be distinguished. Find him, and obey my orders later, the cannon desperately bombards the land ten feet ahead of him."
"I found it, it's easy to find the object." The cannon leader handed the telescope to Long Bin, "But Captain Long, what are you doing for buzzing there? It's a slope, and there is no enemy where."
"That's an introduction." Long Bin laughed evilly, "I prepared a big gift for the Chu people on the beach. Hehehe, when they gather more, let's give them a big surprise. Yesterday, the brothers from the Engineering Barracks gave them appetizers. Today, I'll give them another dessert."
"Where is something strange underneath?" The cannon leader suddenly realized.
Long Bin laughed proudly, "On the entire beach, I arranged eighteen explosion spots, and under each explosion spot, hundreds of kilograms of explosives were buried. However, I was afraid that the enemy would find it, and buried it a little deeper. The shallowest one was under the triangular boulder. The leads there connected all eighteen explosion spots. There was a sound, hahaha, boom boom boom, the eighteen explosion spots exploded one after another. Do you think it is magnificent?"
"How could it be said?" The cannon leader widened his eyes, "I'm afraid it will rain blood."
"We are far apart, so don't be afraid." Long Bin rubbed his nose, "Damn it, it's too cold, it's a little congested. I'm afraid it's a cold. It's all thanks to your little excitement, which will make my disease cure without treatment!"
"Come on, Captain Long, you'll be fine."
The enemies on the opposite beach began to gather more and more, and some rafts had been pushed into the river. After a moment of pause, the drums suddenly sounded loudly on the other side. Countless Chu soldiers shouted and turned over from the back of the embankment and rushed towards the river as fast as possible.
"Fire the cannon!" The stern orders from the Han army officers also came from the north bank of Yingshui River.
Except for the heavy cannon next to Long Bin, the rest of the cannons fired all flower bullets, aiming to kill and injure those Chu soldiers.
"Use live ammunition to bomb there, ignite, and detonate!" Long Bin shouted as he jumped.
The leads were burning, and with a loud bang, the red shells leaped out of the shells and flew towards the huge rock.
"Quick, clear the chamber, clean the chamber, prepare the explosives, ammunition, you bastard, don't watch the fun, put on the bullets!" The first shell was hit by a miserable shot, and it didn't hit, making Long Bin scream in a hurry.
However, the second artillery did not disappoint him. When the shell fell, an extremely violent explosion suddenly sounded on the slope, and the Chu soldiers who were rushing down from the embankment were immediately blown down.
However, this was just the beginning. With this loud noise, two and three loud noises rang out on the beach. On the beach, the Chu army was crowded with Chu who were about to cross the Yingshui River. Amid the thick smoke covering the sky and the violent explosion, the Chu army, who had not yet reached the embankment, stopped their footsteps and saw the doomsday scene on the beach in horror.
(Today is New Year's Eve. Here I wish you all your friends a happy New Year, all the best, good health, and great fortune in the new year.)
