Chapter 1370: Han Banner World (60) Decisive Battle under the City (I)

He Weiyuan rushed all the way back to the Yingshui City military camp, at this time the king must have gotten up, serving the king for many years, and he was very clear about the king's habits. Stepping into the small courtyard where Gao Yuan lived, he saw that under the morning sun, Gao Yuan was only wearing a pair of shorts, where he was practicing boxing, his bronzed skin was covered with crystal beads of sweat, and his muscles were bulging, and he Weiyuan was convinced that only his own king would be like this in this world, although he was the king of the most powerful country in the world, he had never been arrogant and lascivious, but had been like this for many years, and still maintained the habits of being in the army.

"Crossed the river?" Glancing at He Weiyuan coming in, Gao Yuan slowly put away the frame and let out a long breath.

"Yes, crossed the river, crossed the river!" He Weiyuan walked over with a smile, walked straight to the well on the side, picked up a bucket of water, walked to Gao Yuan's side, lifted the bucket high, and poured water off Gao Yuan's head with a bang.

"Comfortable!" Gao Yuan wiped a handful of water from his face, walked over to the chair on the side, picked up a towel, and wiped his body.

"Great King, this is called a refreshing fight, this is not a war, it is completely one-sided, the Qin people are like a baby and have no power to fight back in front of us. When I came back, Division Commander Ye had already commanded the troops to cross the river, established a beachhead on the beach opposite, and the heavy artillery battalion began to prepare to cross the river. He Weiyuan said happily.

"It's not that easy!" After wiping off the water stains, Gao Yuan walked towards the house with a knife and said to He Weiyuan. "The Qin army is not a division of fish belly, and the Gongsun Zhi left by Tan Feng is not incompetent, the previous battle was just a small test, and we had an absolute advantage in the first confrontation between the two sides, but because of this. The other party has also discovered our reality, and next, they will find a way. So the next time to test Ye Feng's ability, I'm still a little worried, Ye Feng has not independently commanded such a large-scale battle, whether he can deal with it is still a question. ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean......" He Weiyuan asked tentatively, "what measures do you think Gongsun Zhi will take?" ”

"You can't keep it." Gao Yuan said: "Under the threat of heavy artillery, any city wall is no longer an obstacle for us. Therefore, if Gongsun Zhi is smart and decisive enough, he will definitely take a risk and fight with us in the field, this is their last and only chance, Wei Yuan, gather the pro-military camp, I want to go and see it in person. ”

Gongsun Zhi made up his mind.

In the face of such a sharp momentum of the Han army, it was impossible to defend it. The embankment was so well defended, and it was still separated by a Ying River, but it was still destroyed by the Han army and guarded in the city. can only passively let the Han army give full play to their advantage in firepower, looking at the previous might, I am afraid that even the city wall will be destroyed by them. The only chance of life is to attack. Attacking on the initiative, the two sides fought in the field, mixed together. Their most powerful firepower will not be able to play to their advantage.

The Han army's field combat ability has always been strong, but the Qin army is not bad, and the two sides are fighting, and the Qin army is not without a chance to win. The strength of the two sides is about the same now, but the other party's general is just a baby general in his early twenties, even if he has been fighting since his mother's womb, in order to withstand how many battles, the two sides are chaotic together, but the test is the ability of the commanders of both sides to grasp the battle situation.

"Generals, this is our only chance." Gongsun Zhi pressed the hilt of the knife with his hand, and said murderously: "Everyone has witnessed the battle on the embankment, and it is impossible to defend it at all, only by going out of the city and fighting with them in the field can there be a way to live." General Sun Haifeng has been killed, he is our example, if you can't win, you will die! ”

"Kill!" The generals in the hall drew their swords and shouted in unison, the tragic situation on the embankment in the morning not only frightened them, but also made them desperate to die, since they couldn't hold it, they could only kill a possibility from the impossible.

"Out of the city to fight, we have two goals, the first goal is to try to defeat the Han army, drive them down the river, to the bottom of the river, to achieve the second goal, to destroy their long-range weapons, this kind of weapons are too powerful, I don't believe they will have a lot, if there are no these sharp weapons, we will not be powerless to defend the city." Gongsun stopped.

"Understood."

"Once you're out of town, kill the enemy as best you can! Whether we can hold Yingchuan County, it depends on this battle, if we fail, we may lose not only Yingchuan County, Yingchuan is our foothold, Tai'an, even if Wulong is won, it is not a short time to be able to control and feed our tens of thousands of troops, now, we have torn our faces with the imperial court and Lu Chao, and lost the foundation of our life, everything will be over, you work hard! Gongsun choked and pulled out his knife and walked out first.

On the edge of Yingshui, the engineer battalion is continuing to clear the road, about 5,000 Han soldiers who have crossed the river are lined up in battle formation, protecting the pontoon bridge behind them, on it, more soldiers and equipment are constantly being transported across the river, the first ferry boat transporting heavy artillery has docked, the soldiers are laying iron plates, the beach is too soft, if these thousands of pounds of heavy artillery are put on the beach like this, I am afraid that it will sink immediately and can no longer be pushed.

A few soldiers in front laid iron plates, and a dozen soldiers behind shouted trumpets, pushing the wheels of the gun carriage, pushing the gun carriage forward with difficulty, as long as it crossed the beach and went to the embankment, it would be much better, but the cement road had been paved on it, and it could withstand the weight of the cannon.

Ye Feng rode on his horse, staring at the Yingchuan County in the distance, as long as he waited for the heavy artillery to cross the river, the attack would start immediately. Looking back at the river, more than a dozen cannons have all arrived at the river, slowly advancing towards the embankment, and on the pontoon bridge, soldiers are also converging in this direction.

It's all coming to an end! Or in less than a day, he will be able to take Yingchuan County, and maybe there will be time to clean up Yingchuan County and clean it up to welcome Chen Bin and Commander Chen's entry!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

The drum on the opposite city tower suddenly rumbled, Ye Feng raised his head suddenly, Yingchuan County City faced this side of the riverbank, and the three city gates were opened almost at the same time, with the horse team first, the Yingchuan army rushed out of the city with a roar, shouting and rushing to the riverbank.

"What a death!" Ye Feng sneered, "The first regiment is in a phalanx, ready to meet the enemy, the second regiment is divided into left and right wings to cover, after the third regiment that is crossing the river crosses the river, it immediately moves to the left and right wings, increasing the ability of the two wings, as long as the first regiment can withstand their attacks, the left and right wings can launch a counterattack in real time, and defeat the enemy under the city wall." Since the other side wants to fight in the field, we will let them understand the power of our 88th Division. ”

The big shield hand stepped forward, rows of giant shields stood up, the shields were interlocked, and dozens of shields in a row stood up, and in the cross-section, between every two rows of shield hands, was a divine machine crossbow, and the crossbow arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at the Qin army that was rushing wildly. Behind the shieldmen, the spearmen set up their spears to form a field of spears. Now they can't counterattack, because they have to protect the pontoon bridge behind them and the heavy artillery that is struggling to advance on the beach.

"Crossbow machine ready!"

"Launch!"

As the order was given, within the gap in the cross-section of the big shieldman, a series of crossbow machines burst out, and one after another crossbow arrows flashed with cold light swept towards the galloping carriage on the opposite side.

The wailing of the horses and the shouts of the soldiers immediately rang out in a ball, some people fell, but some people continued to rush forward, and the soldiers of the Qin army on the horses did not hold bows and crossbows, nor did they hold swords, guns, swords, halberds, and only a torch in their hands.

Ye Feng was stunned at first, then suddenly understood, and his face couldn't help but change greatly: "Divine crossbow, keep shooting, arm open crossbow, arm open crossbow, intercept them." ”

A Qin cavalryman rushed in in the gap of the rain of arrows, his right hand was sharply rounded, and a black thing with sparks flew forward, past the big shield, and flew into the dense spear array of the Han army.

With a bang, more than a dozen soldiers screamed, and the fragments of the clay pot were densely splashed around under the impact of the explosion of gunpowder, and the dense lineup of the Han army made him exert much greater power than usual.

The rain of arrows was more intensive, but it was impossible to intercept all the high-speed galloping horses, and these soldiers who attacked the army formation were simply people who dared to die, even if the war horses were shot to death, they still held their grenades high, howled and rushed forward, trying to throw the grenades in their hands into the Han army lineup. Even if he was immediately shot to the ground, and he was blown apart by the grenade in his hand, he was not afraid.

The sound of explosions continued to sound, and there was a blank in the strict Han army lineup. As it continued to be replenished, the thick formation began to become thinner.

On the other side of the river, Gao Yuan looked at the battle situation on the other side and shook his head slightly: "Ye Feng's reaction is slow, in fact, when he sees the opponent's cavalry for the first time, he should send all his cavalry to intercept it, and he can't let these suicidal guys rush to the front of the military formation, cavalry against cavalry, the opponent doesn't even bring a knife, it's completely a target to be cut, even if they detonate the grenade in their hand, how much damage can they cause?" ”

He Weiyuan nodded, "The king is right, hey, you see, the king sent his cavalry, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks all rushed up. ”

"I'm afraid it wasn't Ye Feng who came up with it, but the commanders of the left and right wings found the problem themselves, Ye Feng is a division, and those who can be some commanders of the regiment can be more than a division commander in other troops, I hope Ye Feng can learn more from them."
