The commanders of the two wings were still a little late in discovering the problems of the Chinese army and making a practical response, the original solid formation of the Chinese army was knocked out of the blank area by the exploding grenades, and the formation became thin, and the foot soldiers who were not afraid of death and followed the horse team had already approached the front of the phalanx, a distance of only twenty or thirty paces, they only needed one run to reach, and in their hands, they held large swords and spears. The horse team of the Yingchuan army separated to both sides, and it was only at this time that they pulled out the saber on the side of the saddle, the cavalry of the Qin army was not used to using swords, generally speaking, their weapons on horses were spears or broadswords, but today their hands have more important work, these long weapons, obviously not suitable for carrying, so now, their weapons can only be ordinary sabers. They wanted to stop the cavalry on both flanks from rushing to the attacking infantry in the middle, and if the Han cavalry cut off the attacking infantry from the middle, then this attack would be a complete failure.

The crossbows had already emptied the arrows in their crossbow machines, but there was no time to replace them with new arrows, so they immediately retreated backwards, which was the action prescribed in the code, not that they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they needed to retreat to a safe place and reload the crossbow machine with crossbow arrows so that they could shoot at the enemy next time.

The crossbow machine retreated, the big shields on both sides choked back, and a complete shield wall appeared in front of Yingchuan Army. Sharp spears poked out, and the pikemen shrank their arms back, keeping a posture of stabbing at any moment.

The bright spears did not stop the attack of the Yingchuan army, compared to the huge threat of the opponent's heavy artillery, these spears were no longer important in their eyes, and in front of these spears, they at least had the power to fight back.

The first attackers rushed forward, and the telescopic spear immediately pierced his body, but before he died, he still slammed the spear or broadsword in his hand into the large shield about a meter high in front of him. The entire shield wall shook as the long shield wall was attacked almost at the same time.

The splashing of blood, the bloody spear, the screams or howls before death, became the theme song of the whole world at this moment, and life became the cheapest thing, attacking and descending, even if you wanted to retreat, you can't retreat, because behind you, your companions are pushing your body forward. It won't stop until you become a corpse on the ground, and the defenders will not retreat, they have the pontoon bridges they want to protect, cannons, and reinforcements rushing over behind them, and the retreat at this time will only turn into a perfect attack of the opponent, they will be driven down the river, and this time the attack on Yingchuan County will fail.

Equally. You can't take a step back, there is also the honor of the Han Army and the honor of the 88th Division.

One corpse after another, the corpses soon rose above the shield wall, and the latecomers began to climb the pile of corpses to continue their attacks on their opponents. By this time, however, the defenders' spears were not enough to pose much of a threat to them, and by the time they stood on top of the corpses, they were already much taller than the shields. A lot of people were armed with spears. Wielding shields and broadswords, they jumped directly from the pile of corpses to the phalanx of the Han army, although most of them were stabbed in the air by spears. The corpses were suspended in the air and then thrown out to become part of the pile of corpses, but a few managed to jump in, causing chaos among the defenders.

Of course, their final outcome was also death, but their bravery also greatly reduced the pressure on their peers outside, allowing more people to launch more deadly attacks.

The muscles on Ye Feng's face were a little stiff, these Qin troops were the strongest troops he had ever encountered, he had fought with the Donghu people, fought with the Chu army, but it was the first time he had a head-to-head confrontation with the Qin army, it was obvious that this army was very different from what he had encountered before, whether it was the will to fight or the strong combat effectiveness, the Qin army's attack was not counting casualties, and now the casualty ratio with the Han army was at least five to one, Ye Feng also estimated that the opponent was in front of his own phalanx, and this attack alone had at least thousands of casualties, Generally speaking, in the face of such horrific casualties, the opponent would generally choose to retreat and look for an opportunity to launch the next attack, but obviously, his current opponent is a real madman, because above the county town of Yingchuan, the drumming of the battle has never stopped.

That Gongsun Zhi was a real madman, he didn't take the lives of his soldiers at all, but squandered them at will, or he was now beating the war drums himself desperately on the top of the castle tower. Ye Feng thought in his heart.

This kind of attack of the enemy made Ye Feng feel extremely uncomfortable, he had a shield wall, but the enemy used corpses to build a corpse wall, and now the pikemen have to lift their spears up, and the price of stabbing the enemy to death every time is that their bodies and arms will bear greater impact, the soldier's arm strength, physical strength is not unlimited, this kind of impact, three or five times is enough to make a soldier with strong arm arm sore, and weak assassination is unable to penetrate the enemy's armor, even if their armor is very thin and rubbish.

But he could not retreat now, and as soon as he retreated, the shield wall would disperse, and the troops would be thrown into chaos with the enemy, and the might of the phalanx would cease to exist. And the scuffle will make him lose more troops, Ye Feng can only put the soldiers who are rushing over from the pontoon bridge into the middle of the battlefield, and constantly replenish the troops, so that the Chinese military formation always maintains a certain thickness. He now counted on both flanks to quickly crush his opponents, cut off their attacks, and give himself time to clear the enemy in front of him.

What Ye Feng could think of, Gongsun Zhi could naturally think of it, now he was naturally not beating a drum on the city wall as Ye Feng thought, at this time he was carrying a big knife, standing at the head of the next wave of attack groups with his own soldiers, he was pouring out of the nest, and the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers in the city were all out of the city, because he knew that the city wall was basically no longer an obstacle for the Han army, in this case, what was the use of keeping people in the city? Unless you have a long-range attack weapon as powerful as the Han army, everything is in vain.

This is the huge difference between hot and cold weapons.

Throw alone, fight with all your might, or repel the enemy, live! Defeat or die!

Although the casualties are very large now, there is no doubt that the Qin army is occupying the initiative, Ye Feng needs time to transport his troops over, and it takes space to spread out the team, which makes himself occupy an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength at this moment, Gongsun Zhi visually measured that the number of troops that the Han army has crossed the river is about seven or eight thousand, which is just half of them, although they are accelerating and rushing towards this side, but this kind of refueling tactics does not help much in the whole battle situation.

Choosing the timing of the attack is extremely important. Too early, the other side will not be fooled, they can bombard their own soldiers with this heavy weapon across the river, too late, when the disparity between the forces of the two sides is not large, they will not have any advantage. Half, is the best.

But the heavy casualties paid, still make Gongsun Zhi's hands tremble, the Han army's field combat ability is strong, this is a lesson that many friendly troops have learned with their lives and blood, but only if they really meet, will they understand from the bottom of their hearts, but at this moment Gongsun Zhi is already riding a tiger, if this time retreats, the previous sacrifices will be in vain.

Attack, only by attacking at any cost, can we have a chance to win the final victory, and can we destroy the cannons that have been transported across the river and are struggling to advance on the beach at the moment, and Yingchuan County will have a chance to win.

It's a pity that Gongsun Zhi didn't know that at this moment, the main force of the 19th Army of the Han Army was rapidly approaching the county seat of Yingchuan, otherwise he would definitely not launch this decisive attack, because even if he defeated the group in front of him, the support of the Han army would still easily overthrow them. He didn't know, so he chose to attack without hesitation, defeated the group in front of him, and he could hold the county seat, and it would take time for the Han army to attack again, and at that time, General Tan must have returned.

"Grenade team, let's go!" Gongsun Zhi issued the second order of the day, this is a group of infantry, each of them has several grenades on their bodies, at this moment, the corpse wall has been built very high, the soldiers with grenades can safely reach the back of the corpse wall, and throw the grenades in their hands into the dense lineup of the Han army, the dense formation will cause great casualties under the attack of the grenades, which will create a good opportunity for themselves to break the formation.

Success or failure is here! Gongsun Zhi held his big knife tightly.

Dozens of soldiers rushed forward.

On the other side of the river, Gao Yuan was shaking his head, "Wrong, wrong." ”

He Weiyuan looked at the battle situation on the opposite bank, "King, the middle phalanx can still be supported, and the left and right wings have made a breakthrough, it looks like we are about to win, as long as the left and right wings successfully cut off the opponent, victory will be within reach." ”

"It's too late, Gongsun Zhi must still have a backhand, if it's me, I only need to concentrate some soldiers at this time, throw out the grenade capture explosives bag, it will be enough for the Chinese army's military formation to be broken, and then enter a melee situation, with superior forces to drive our army down the river, it seems, the other party also thinks so. He Weiyuan, let the 88th Division give up a pontoon bridge and the personal guard battalion cross the river, we need to let the Qin army suffer a complete defeat in the next melee. ”

"Understood!" He Weiyuan ran down excitedly, and behind Gao Yuan, the five hundred soldiers of the guard battalion who arrived here with him also excitedly pulled out the scimitar on their waists.

"Prepare to show my royal flag, next, let's crush the enemy's attack!" Gao Yuan laughed, Zidian under his crotch snorted excitedly, and scraped the sand on the ground with his hooves, he hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, and Zidian smelled the familiar smell of the battlefield again.
