Wang Bao half-squatted in the rubble, looking at the violent explosions on the city wall not far from him from time to time, a section of the city wall disappeared in the explosion, bricks, stones and soil fell with each explosion, he was lying on his stomach not far from the city wall, not long after, his body was covered with a thick layer of dust. There was a suffocating smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the fire was burning brightly, as if it had burned all the air around him, and he had to open his mouth wider, desperately trying to breathe more air into his lungs to alleviate the hot sensation. But when his mouth opened, his mouth was full of smoke and dust.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a soldier lying on the ground beside him, his body trembling uncontrollably, Wang Bao dragged him up, "Don't lie on your stomach, just like me, squat." ”

This soldier looks very young, and a shallow layer of beard has just emerged from his mouth, unlike Wang Bao, who has been boiling up for more than ten days, and the beard on his face has grown out and is messy.

They are very close to the explosion point, lying on their stomachs is very easy to be shocked and injured internal organs, this is a lesson in exchange for life, when defending the embankment before, some soldiers did not have any injuries in their bodies, but it did not take long for them to bleed to death, the soldiers at the forefront of the front line summed up, found that at the time of the explosion, lying on the ground, most of them did not escape this catastrophe, and squatting on the ground to dodge, but there was nothing to do.

The Han army had never suffered such a fierce explosives attack before, and naturally had no experience in this area, and after this experience was summed up, it was quickly handed over to the division headquarters one by one, and then reported to the various departments. This is a kind of introspection system of the Han army, as long as it is beneficial, it can always be applied in the shortest possible time.

The soldier in front of him was obviously stunned, and he forgot the wartime essentials that he had repeatedly emphasized a few days ago, Wang Bao looked at this childish face, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. As a veteran, he knew very well that the chances of them surviving this battle were not very good, losing the protection of the city walls and the suppression of long-range weapons, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with ten times the enemy army against him, even if the Han army was brave, it was impossible to fight.

"Where is the young man? How long have you been enlisted? Wang Bao decided to chat with this comrade-in-arms and help him get rid of some of his fears, his own men had already been sacrificed. In this alley where I am ambushed right now, I just glanced at it, there are about a dozen people, but none of them are known to me, and I don't know which part it was before, but it doesn't matter, they are all partners of the third division anyway. Everyone is old and young, and it is impossible to be born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, but they must die on the same day, the same month, and the same year. Team up to report to the king of Hades.

"I'm from Tianhe County, and I've only been in the army for a year." The young soldier said.

"I'm from Jicheng. Speaking of which, they are also from Tianhe County! Wang Bao said with a smile. I have a wife and four children at home, and the eldest one is about the same age as you. What about your home? ”

"In addition to my father and mother, there are two brothers and one sister in the family."

"This is really a big family, why did you come out to be a soldier?"

"My brothers have come to take the test. But they can't read, and the first level was brushed down, Brother Wang, you are not young. Actually read and write? It's remarkable. ”

Wang Bao laughed: "Where can I read, but we didn't pay so much attention to the Young Guards at that time, and I was a veteran who had been in the army for seven years." I'm about to be forty this year, and I was going to retire, but when I encountered this big war, as a veteran, it must be too inauthentic to leave at this time, and my comrades-in-arms had to scold me to death, so I stayed again. ”

"Brother Wang, will we die?" A flash of fear flashed across the young soldier's face, he had seen too many deaths happening around him these days.

"I can't tell!" Wang Bao smiled and looked up at the side of the city wall, a huge explosion had just occurred, and the fragments of stones and bricks were falling in rain, and he reached out and pressed the soldier's head. "But people, after all, they have to die, are you right, either die in bed or die on the battlefield, the process is different, but in the end they have to walk the same road. So, there's nothing to be afraid of. And on the battlefield, the people who are most afraid of death often die first, is this your first time fighting? ”

"No, the second time, the last time was in Wuguan!" The young soldier said.

Wang Bao laughed, the battle in Wuguan, to be honest, it was really not a tough battle, the enemy didn't have much defense at all, it was too easy, compared with the battle in front of him, it was not at all above the same order of magnitude.

The sound of the explosion is still ringing, the Chu people seem to have prepared endless explosives packages, and they will not give up until the city is completely blown up, and in the sound of the explosion, Wang Bao and the young soldier talked about the interesting things in their hometown, and gradually the soldier's fear gradually disappeared.

"Prepare your grenades, and when the enemy comes, throw them out, regardless of the three-seven-two-one, and then you run backwards, you know? Do you see the tallest house in the distance, where is the General's Mansion, where to go. ”

Wang Bao couldn't bear this young man to die like this, and arranged a way for him to maybe survive, because there must be the one who could last the most in this Yingshui City.

"Got it!"

The sound of the explosion finally stopped, and where the smoke dissipated, the walls of Yingshui basically ceased to exist, and there were gaps that had been blown open everywhere, and after a short period of calm, there was a sudden sound of shouts like a tsunami outside, and the ground trembled slightly, which was caused by thousands of people charging together. Wang Bao took out the grenades from the leather pouch on his belt, opened the lid on the handle, pulled out the lead inside, and the young man around him also followed his example and put away several grenades on the belt one by one.

"Later, when the Chu people rush through this alley, you light the grenade and throw it out, don't look at the effect, just throw it out, and then you lie on your stomach and don't move, and when we rush up, you run back, do you hear clearly?" Wang Bao admonished again.

"I hear you."

There was not a single Han soldier on the city wall, and the attackers easily crossed the city wall, which they had been out of reach for these days, and poured into the city, and the huge torrent instantly diverted into streams of water and rushed to every corner of the city.

"Now!" Wang Bao roared, picked up a grenade, lit the fuse, and threw the grenade out, and on the main street outside the alley where they were ambushed, a dense crowd of Chu soldiers was speeding through.

As Wang Bao's grenades flew out, more than a dozen grenades were thrown out. In the explosion, the Chu soldiers who were running were immediately rushed out by the huge explosion and fell down one by one, and the Han soldiers in the alley threw out all the grenades in their hands in a very short time, and then jumped up from the ground, roared with big swords and spears.

Wang Baochong was at the front, and at a glance, he suddenly saw the young soldier just now following him closely, "Bastard, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother Wang, you want to protect your son and daughter, I also want to protect your family, we lost this battle, maybe my brothers will go to the battlefield again, if they win, they won't be used, I'm not afraid of death, we want to win!" The young soldier roared loudly, jumped over Wang Bao quickly, and ran to the first.

Wang Bao sighed, quickened his pace, and followed closely. In front of them was a main street in Yingshui City, and at this moment, from the alleys on both sides, countless Han troops poured out, 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 dizzy by the explosion, lying on the ground before they had time to get up, the Han army had already rushed up, slashing and poking with guns, and in an instant, the Chu army was actually killed.

More Chu troops gathered a little farther away and rushed towards here.

Half an hour later, the five-hundred-meter street finally quieted down, and on the cement ground, blood flowed, converging into small streams, flowing down the sewer mouth on the side of the street, flowing from the ground to the Yingshui River, which was already clear, and suddenly a circle of red halo began to spread from underwater.

Huang Zhongtie blushed and walked on this street with a bloody knife, and there was almost no place to put his feet. As a replacement for Bai Xizhong as the first wave of troops to attack the city, the first round of confrontation caused him heavy losses. On this short 500-meter street, more than 2,000 of his soldiers fell. There may be crossbow arrows and grenades flying out of every room, and one or several soldiers will suddenly jump on each roof, rushing into the crowd of Chu troops desperately, slashing and slashing frantically.

This battle made Huang Zhong more and more frightened. stepped on something under his feet, his body tilted to the side, Huang Zhongxiao jumped a step, stood firm, and when he looked down, he was stepping on the arm of a Han army, this was an older Han soldier, between the stretched arms, there was a young soldier lying down, both of them had a few more holes, and the older Han army had several more than the younger one.

It's probably a father and son, or a pair of brothers! The old one wanted to block the attack for the little one, but after all, they both died here. Huang Zhong stopped, and now he understood that even if the other party died, he would not withdraw from the city that had already been breached, they would not break through, and then General Qu's arrangement outside the city would be completely useless.

"Attack, clear me room by room." Huang Zhong pointed forward with a long knife. (To be continued.) )
