Chapter 1459: Han Banner World (149) House-by-House Battle
Wang Bao half-squatted among the rubble, watching the violent explosions on the city wall not far away from him, and the walls disappeared in the explosion. The bricks, stones and soil trash fell down with each explosion. The distance between him was not far from the city wall. Not long after, his body was covered with a thick layer of dust.∮, the air was filled with suffocating smell of gunpowder, and the fire was burning, as if it had burned the air around him. He had to open his mouth wider, desperately trying to breathe more air into his lungs to relieve the burning feeling. But when his mouth opened, it was filled with smoke and dust.
When he turned his head, he saw a soldier lying on the ground, his body trembling constantly. Wang Bao dragged him up, "Don't lie down, squat like me."
The soldier looked very young, and only a layer of shallow beard appeared on his mouth. Unlike Wang Bao, who had been fighting for more than ten days, the beard on his face grew out in a mess.
They were very close to the explosion site and were easily injured by shock when they were lying on their backs. This was a lesson learned from the cost of their lives. When they were defending the embankment, some soldiers were not injured at all, but not long after, they died with blood bleed. After summarizing, the soldiers on the front line found that most of the people lying on the ground during the explosion did not escape this disaster, and those who squat on the ground to avoid it were nothing.
Before this, the Han army had never suffered such a violent attack on explosives, and naturally they had no experience in this area. After this experience was summarized, it was quickly handed over to the division headquarters one by one, and was immediately reported to each department. This is a reflection system of the Han army. As long as it is favorable, it can always be applied in the shortest time.
The soldier in front of him was obviously stunned by the bombing, and actually forgot the key points of wartime that he repeatedly emphasized a few days ago. Wang Bao looked at this childish face and felt a little regretful. As a veteran, he knew very clearly that the possibility of their survival in this battle was no longer great. He lost the protection of the city wall and the attack and suppression of long-range weapons, and fought with his enemy ten times as hard as possible. Even if the Han army was brave, it would not be possible to fight.
"Where is the young man? How long have you been enlisted?" Wang Bao decided to chat with this comrade and help him get rid of some fear. His own subordinates had already sacrificed all his subordinates. At the moment, he had just glanced at the alley where he was ambushed. There were about a dozen people, but none of them knew him. I don't know which part he had before, but this didn't matter. Anyway, they were all partners of the Third Division. Everyone is old and young. It is impossible for them to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but they will die on the same day of the same month of the same year, month of the same month. They formed a team to report to the old man of the King of Hell.
"I am from Tianhe County and have just been in the army for a year." said the young soldier.
"I am from Jicheng. Speaking of which, I am from Tianhe County!" Wang Bao smiled. "I have a wife and four children at home. The oldest one is about the same age as you. Where is your family?"
"In addition to parents, there are two older brothers and sisters in the family."
"This is really a big family. Why did you come out to join the army?"
"The brothers all came to take the exam. But they were illiterate and were beaten in the first level. Brother Wang, you are not young anymore. You can actually read and read? It's amazing."
Wang Bao laughed: "I can't tell you what I can't tell, but we didn't have so many things to do with the Youth Guards at that time. I was a veteran who had been in the army for seven years. I was almost forty this year and was about to retire, but when I encountered this battle, as a veteran, it would be too unauthoritable to leave at this time. My comrades wouldn't scold me to death, so I stayed again."
"Brother Wang, will we die?" A trace of fear flashed across the young soldier's face. These days, he had seen too many deaths happening around him.
"This is not accurate!" Wang Bao smiled and looked up at the city wall. A huge explosion had just happened. The raindrops of stone bricks and tiles were moved down. He reached out and pressed the soldier's head. "But people are going to die in the end. Are you right? You either die in bed or on the battlefield. The process is different, but you have to walk on the same road in the end. So, there is nothing scary. Moreover, on the battlefield, the people who are most afraid of death often die first. Is this your first war?"
"No, the second time, the last time was in Wuguan!" said the young soldier.
Wang Bao laughed. To be honest, the battle in Wuguan was really not a tough battle. The enemy was not very prepared at all and fought too easily. Compared with the battle in front of him, it was not above the same level of magnitude.
The explosion was still ringing, and the Chu people seemed to have prepared endless explosive packs, and they would never give up until the city was completely exploded. Just as Wang Bao talked about interesting things about his hometown with the young soldier, and gradually the soldiers' fear gradually faded.
"Prepare your grenades. When the enemy comes, throw the grenades in your hand regardless of the enemy, and then you run back. Do you know? Do you see the tallest house in the distance? It is the General's Mansion, where to go."
Wang Bao could not bear to die like this young man, so he arranged a way for him that might be able to survive, because there must be the one who can hold on to the end in Yingshui City.
"knew!"
The explosion finally stopped. Wherever the smoke disappeared, Yingshui's city walls were basically gone, and there were cracks everywhere. After a brief calm, there were suddenly shouts like roars outside, and the ground trembled slightly. It was the vibration of the ground caused by thousands of people charging together. Wang Bao took out grenades from the leather bag on his belt, opened the lid on the handle, and pulled out the lead inside. The young man next to him also imitated his appearance and put several grenades on the belt one by one.
"When the Chu people rushed past this alley later, you ignite the grenade and threw it out. Don't look at the effect, just throw it out, and then you lie down and don't move. When we rush up, you run back and hear clearly?" Wang Bao reminded again.
"I heard it clearly."
There was no Han soldier on the city wall. The attackers easily crossed the city wall that they had been out of reach these days and poured into the city. The huge torrent instantly diverted into water flows, rushing to every corner of the city.
"Now!" Wang Bao roared, picked up a grenade, lit the lead, threw the grenade out, and on the main street outside the alley where they were ambushing, densely packed Chu soldiers were passing by quickly.
As Wang Bao's grenade flew out, dozens of grenades were thrown out immediately. Amid the explosion, the running soldiers of Chu were immediately rushed out by the huge explosion waves and fell down one by one. The Han soldiers in the alley threw out all the grenades in their hands in a very short time, then jumped up from the ground, and rushed out with their big swords and spears.
Wang Bao rushed in front, and with a glance, he suddenly saw the young soldier just now following him closely, "Bitch, what are you doing?"
"Brother Wang, you want to protect your son and daughter, and I also want to protect your family. If we lose this battle, maybe my brothers will go to the battlefield again. If they win, they will not be used. I am not afraid of death. We want to win!" The young soldier shouted loudly, jumped over Wang Bao quickly, and actually ran to the first one.
Wang Bao sighed, speeded up his pace, and followed closely. In front of them was a main street in Yingshui City. At this moment, countless Han troops rushed out from the alleys on both sides, and the combat methods they adopted were almost exactly the same as those on Wang Bao's side.
At this moment, the Chu army was so shocked that it was blown away. Before they could get up, the Han army rushed up, stabbed the gun, and instantly killed the Chu army and defeated the army.
More Chu troops gathered a little further away and rushed towards this place.
Half an hour later, the 500-meter street finally became quiet. On the cement-cast ground, blood flowed into streams, flowing down the sewer outlet beside the street, flowing from the underground to the Yingshui River. In the already clear Yingshui River, suddenly, circles of redness began to spread under the water.
Huang Zhong walked on this street with a blue face and a bloody knife, with almost no place to step on his feet. As the first wave of troops in Bai Xi, he suffered heavy losses in the first round of confrontation. More than 2,000 soldiers fell from this short 500-meter street. There may be crossbow arrows and grenades flying out of every room. One or several soldiers will suddenly jump off from each roof, rushing into the Chu army crowd desperately, and killing frantically.
This battle made Huang Zhong more and more frightened. When he stepped on something under his feet, his body tilted to the side. Huang Zhong jumped a little and stood firm. When he looked down, he was stepping on the arm of a Han army. This was an older Han army. Between the extended arms, a young soldier was lying. There were several holes on both of them. The older Han army had several more than the younger one.
This is probably a father and son, or a pair of brothers! The old man wanted to block the attack for the young man, but he finally died here. Huang Zhong stopped. Now he understood that even if the other party died, he would not withdraw from the city that had been broken. They would not break through, so General Qu's arrangement outside the city would not be able to use at all.
