Chapter 1369: The Han Banner World (59) is devastating
Red, with a powerful iron bullet of unparalleled power easily crossed the Yingshui River, Sun Haifeng was horrified to see that the embankment protection fortress they had spent a lot of effort to build was easily torn apart like a piece of paper, those buildings with blue bricks as the body and cement as the skin were torn apart in the loud bang, pieces of debris flew in the air, and he even saw several soldiers in the fortress flying into the sky with their hands and feet, and then landed on the beach under the embankment, blood, In an instant, the white sand was dyed a harsh red.
The iron bullets rolled and jumped on the position, destroying the obstacles that stood in his way, igniting everything that could ignite, and there was chaos on the otherwise orderly defensive position, and the soldiers were running wolf, trying to dodge the scythe of death, but this round thing had no rules to follow, one moment it was still rolling at this end, and the next moment, a small pebble could make him fly in the air, change direction, and continue his destruction.
Sun Haifeng's eyes widened, watching an iron ball roll towards him, slower and slower, and finally, the killing god that had turned from red to swarthy again stopped less than five meters in front of him, and there was no more sound. All around him, all the soldiers looked at the monster with trepidation, their hands and feet trembling, and they didn't know where they were.
Sun Haifeng turned around, and in this short period of time, in the river, the pontoon bridge that the Han army was building rushed forward for more than ten meters, and had already crossed the middle line of the Yingshui River.
"Shoot back, shoot back! Smash and sink their pontoons! Sun Haifeng, who came back to his senses, brandished his saber and forced the dejected soldiers to return to their posts, but the round of shelling just now had destroyed a lot of crossbow machines and stone cannons, although they were barely fired again, but the density was not as good as before, and the accuracy was even more insoluble, and many Yingchuan County soldiers trembled with their hands and feet. Some even injured their instep when they were loaded with a trebuchet with a stone-moving bullet.
Once again, there was a devastating scream in the air, and this time, no one was hesitating or waiting, the soldiers shouted wildly, and ran backwards, and what came from the other side was simply not something that human beings could resist. No matter how Sun Haifeng yelled, he couldn't get the soldiers back to their posts.
The second round of artillery bombardment shattered a defensive line about 100 meters long on the opposite embankment, and Ye Feng was holding the telescope he had just obtained from Gao Yuan. Observing the situation on the other side, this telescope is really a good thing, although from such a distance, what can be seen is as if it is in front of him, Ye Feng can even observe the dejected expression on the face of the soldier of Yingchuan County on the other side.
"Good play. Tell the artillery battalion to exchange the ammunition, kill and injure the opposing soldiers, and clear the obstacles for the infantry to land. Putting down the binoculars, Ye Feng turned back to the herald beside him.
The herald turned. In the direction where the artillery battalion was located, he vigorously waved two small flags, one red and one white, in his hand.
Sun Haifeng struggled with all his strength, and finally gathered hundreds of soldiers and rushed into the gap that was violently blown up by the opposite bank. On this section of the defensive line, they no longer had long-range weapons, so they could only hold bows and arrows, passively waiting for the enemy to build a pontoon bridge. Stepping ashore, there were still some ballista stone cannons left on both sides, and some of them were firing weakly. The accuracy was unusual, and apart from making huge waves in the river, it did almost no damage to the enemy.
When their foot men had set foot on the shore, they themselves rushed out into the sand and engaged the enemy in a melee, so that their most powerful weapons would not be effective. Sun Haifeng thought in his heart, holding the big knife tightly in his hand, his teeth were gritted, and the embankment defense was already in tatters, but this was not a battle effort, let alone a problem with his command ability, but the weapons of the Han army, which he could not resist at all.
But we are not without opportunities, and the final foothold is still on the struggle between people.
Sun Haifeng watched the pontoon bridge extend to the shore, this time he finally saw clearly, the rectangular water tank has an iron ring buckle on the four corners, the Han army inserted a long iron rod from this ring buckle, until the bottom of the riverbed, the soldiers above with a sledgehammer to strike, so that these water tanks can stand firmly on the river, in order to reinforce, the Han army even dropped one by one iron anchors to help the stability of the pontoon bridge.
The soldiers on the other side had already stepped on the pontoon bridge, and one by one, the Han soldiers who were all dressed in armor and even wore protective masks on their faces rushed towards this side along more than a dozen pontoon bridges, and their screaming voices were a little dull because of the masks. The pontoon bridge swayed from side to side because of the steps of these soldiers, and the draft deepened considerably, but this did not prevent the opponent from charging towards this side at great speed.
In the end, it's up to people to settle the battle in the end! Sun Haifeng took a breath, what he was not afraid of was this, as a famous general in Yingchuan County, hand-to-hand combat is his forte, and the scars on his body are the glory and medals he has charged into battle over the years.
The strange scream sounded in the air again, Sun Haifeng's heart sank, and he looked up at the air, the damn thing came again. One by one iron balls flew into the sky above them, Sun Haifeng's heart was wide, it seemed that he had overplayed, this thing would not turn in the air, but his thought had not yet turned, and the iron balls suddenly exploded above their heads, and the sound of swishing sounded in his ears.
Sun Haifeng saw that the soldiers he had finally gathered fell to the ground like wheat harvesting, and in a blink of an eye, this place was almost swept away.
Sun Haifeng looked at it in a daze, only to feel that the strength of his body disappeared from his body in an instant, he felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and there was a hissing sound in his throat, he lowered his head, he saw that his armor was inlaid with several pieces of iron, and he reached out to pull it out, but found that the sharp iron pieces were embedded in the armor, and a ticking sound sounded, and blood fell on his armor like raindrops, and suddenly he felt pain, he reached out and touched his throat, where there was a piece of iron, pull it out hard, Blood spurted out with the pulled out piece of iron, Sun Haifeng fell down on his back facing the sky, the big knife in his hand slammed into the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't bat a glance.
Non-war crimes! This Yingchuan County general is still hovering this sentence in his last thoughts, it is not his fault, this is simply irresistible.
The Han soldiers shouted and stepped onto the beach, and the detachments quickly dispersed, spreading their occupation areas along this huge gap towards both banks, and on the embankment, the soldiers of Yingchuan County had long lost their fighting spirit, as if they were being driven sheep, and were driven around by the Han soldiers.
On the top of the castle tower of Yingchuan County, Gongsun Zhi witnessed the defeat of the 5,000 defensive troops he had placed on the embankment in an instant, without causing any difficulties for the Han army, and he even doubted whether there were any casualties if the opponent had broken his defense.
What kind of weapon is that? Why can you still fight across such a wide river? can still have such power, in Yingchuan County, the farthest range trebuchet can't hit so far. Watching the reddish iron bullets destroy the defensive fortresses as easily as eating and drinking, Gongsun Zhi's original confidence suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment.
"General Gongsun, can you open the city gate?" Beside him, a deputy general's face turned pale, at this time, under the city, a group of about 1,000 Yingchuan County soldiers who had retreated from the river embankment were shouting loudly to open the door, but behind them, the Han soldiers were killing at the end of the line, if the city gate was opened and they were let in, I was afraid that even the Han soldiers would be let in.
"Can't drive, let them go around the city." Gongsun Zhi hardened his heart.
Hearing the shouts from the city, the soldiers of Yingchuan County below cried out in despair, and some fled to both sides, throwing away their weapons and even taking off their armor as they ran. The other part burst out of despair with a strong fighting spirit, and turned back to kill the chasing Han army.
Above the city tower, Gongsun Zhi watched his soldiers being cut to the ground one by one by the Han army, and he closed his eyes in pain.
Ye Feng stepped on the pontoon bridge with satisfaction, captured the opponent's embankment defense position, and in less than an hour, thousands of enemy troops disappeared, and it was really equipment first, Ye Feng knew how much silver taels his army would spend in the treasury, this was completely a unit piled up with silver, and the equipment was much stronger than that of the Young Guards.
When he stepped on the beach, his soldiers had already swept the remnants of the enemy clean, and the engineer battalion then crossed the river, their task was to demolish the houses between the embankment and the county seat of Yingchuan, and create an open field for the army's attack.
Attacking Yingchuan County is much more difficult than hitting the embankment, at least Ye Feng knows that the opponent is also equipped with gunpowder weapons, they also have grenades, which are used to fill explosives in clay pots, although they are not as good as the grenades of the Han army, but it is not slower to kill people than the grenades equipped by the Han army, and the opponent does not have their own heavy artillery in this regard, but they made the explosives into explosives packages, and after they were bundled, they threw them with trebuchets, which was also a great threat to their soldiers. It's impossible to imagine how easy it was before.
"Bring the heavy artillery across the river first." Ye Feng commanded. "Be careful, if this sinks into the river, you won't be able to catch it, little ones, you can't buy a letter from him for a year's salary."
There is no problem with crossing the pontoon bridge, but if you have to transport thousands of pounds of heavy artillery, it will be too much to handle, this heavy artillery can only be dragged over by a ship, without heavy artillery, Ye Feng does not want to rashly launch an attack and attack the city, if there is no such weapon, you can only fill it with your life, the 88th Division really does not have the capital to fill this hole.
