On behalf of the Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, the flag hunted in the wind, and seeing that the sun had risen high, he passed on a string of general orders.

"Generals, this battle is very important, whether it is successful or not, just today's battle, I hope that the generals will fight to the death. Herald, march! ”

One by one, the cavalry was neatly draped, and the blades were lined up in a neat phalanx. In front of them were infantry soldiers pushing thick shield carts, and under the encouragement of war drums, they slowly but firmly advanced towards the defense line of the Shenzhou army.

The artillery of the Qing army has not stopped since it arrived here, and the position of the Shenzhou army will not run anyway. So the gunners were divided into several shifts, and they never stopped, except for the necessary heat dissipation needs of the cannons.

Guo Feng went back and forth along the various points of the battle line. He knew that opening up this completely passive defensive position would be the easiest for the enemy to attack and divide and surround him. It's just that he also knows the strength of the Shenzhou Army very well, and there are many Qing soldiers, but it is tantamount to a fool's dream to beat this Shenzhou Army with a good position.

He stepped into the front-line combat bunker. (The appearance of the bunker is a reference to the Terran bunker in StarCraft)

"Lizheng," shouted the soldier guarding the door.

He returned the salute and stepped into the bunker.

"Sir", the platoon commander who is sticking to this ground protection runs over.

"How's it going, are the soldiers nervous?"

"Report promotion, it's nothing, not only is our bunker thick and the enemy cannon can't penetrate even solid bullets, but also between the bunkers, the brothers of the engineer battalion have covered passages, and the Qing army wants to attack them, but there is no door."

"Hmm" Guo Feng nodded, picked up the binoculars and looked at the shield cart of the Qing soldiers slowly approaching in the distance.

The positions here are completely arranged in accordance with the drills of the Shenzhou Army, and the positions constructed by the engineer battalion of the Shenzhou First Division are not boastful. The pillbox line is divided into three layers: platoon, company and battalion, the first layer is a half-buried pillbox, and there are no grenade launchers and flying crossbows on the top. The second layer of bunkers and protruding from the ground are equipped with grenade launchers and crossbows, and the third layer is built on top of dirt slopes, and the bunkers are much larger than the first two floors, with grenade launchers, crossbows and mortars on top.

Between the various firing points, a cross-fire system is completely formed. There are thousands of broken horse pits dug by Luoyang shovels, arranged around one fire point after another. The innermost layer is the four columns reinforced by wooden piles on three sides, behind which the positions of four artillery batteries and the medical battalion at the rear, and the rear exit is formed by the vehicles of the engineer battalion to form the portal of activity.

Guo Feng, who watched it for a while, looked at the sky again. "Tell the soldiers that as long as they try to kill and wound their personnel, they will not move if they don't attack us, and it is estimated that by noon the road and the chariots will arrive, then they will just wait to capture the prisoners."

"Yes"

A large number of shield vehicles of the Qing army are getting closer and closer to the defense line of the Shenzhou army, but they have never seen the rifle fire of the Shenzhou army, and there is no artillery fire of the Shenzhou army here, so they follow the arrangement of Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, and advance with firm steps to a place only 300 meters away from the Shenzhou army before stopping.

"Raise the flag!" The generals in the front row gave an order, and nearly a thousand flags of various colors were unfurled on the shield cars in the front row. The tall flagpole was erected, and one flag after another was unfurled, which suddenly blocked the sight of the front line of the Shenzhou Army.

This was what Kong Youde thought of after observing the last battle with the Shenzhou army, and the iron cavalry of his front line had already been beaten with heavy losses before the Shenzhou army approached. Not only is it extremely demoralized, but the strength of the counterattack charge is greatly reduced. That's why he came up with this solution.

The observation posts at the front quickly brought the news back to the command.

Guo Feng was in trouble, and if he wanted to say anything, a salvo of rockets would be used to break the flags they had blown up. However, the division commander explained that it was strictly forbidden to frighten the enemy, otherwise the battle of annihilation would easily turn into a crushing battle. Moreover, if the enemy army escapes, it is very likely to go northwest, bypass Nanchang City, and go straight to Jiujiang. In this case, the general's battle of Jiangxi will not be easy to fight.

"What does he want to do with a big flag on a shield cart to cover up the observation of our army? It was nothing more than a close-range charge after the cavalry approached. And then there will be a scuffle with our army on the pillbox line, this ......! ”

Just when Guo Feng couldn't make up his mind, Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun, commanded the first wave of attack groups to approach behind the shield car. The first wave of the Qing army not only had 50,000 cavalry, but also the artillery of the whole army was moving forward. Soon the red-coated artillery moved to 800 meters of the Shenzhou Army's defensive line, and the general artillery was even closer, approaching a distance of 400 meters.

"Boom, boom, boom" 100 huge cannons bombarded the distance of the Shenzhou Army in a row. Large and small shells fell on the positions of the Shenzhou Army, and the tunnels in some places with weak cover were broken and blasted to expose the holes.

"It was reported that the enemy bombarded our troops with solid shells, individual pillboxes were damaged, and sporadic wounded appeared."

"Fuck, dare to bang Lao Tzu. The artillery was ordered to bombard the enemy's shield vehicles, but no salvo fire was allowed, and only one shell was allowed to be fired at a time on each position, and the firing time was controlled to no more than two rounds per minute. There is also an order that snipers can start sniping at will. ”

Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde was so satisfied that he looked through the clairvoyant mirror, and his cannons and cavalry were close to the enemy's position, and the enemy did not seem to be aware of it. Just this joy did not take a few minutes. With a piercing roar, tongues of fire were fired into his carefully conceived flag.

The shells that "bombarded" the enemy troops exploded as soon as they touched the ground, and they were really vicious and made it impossible for people to dodge at all. The cannonballs that fell in the pile of people brought up a tent of black dirt stained with blood.

"Shoot back, shoot back, blow up all their cannons!"

The sound of a series of cannon shots shook the earth again. Although there were a large number of artillery pieces of the Qing army, there were no curved guns in these cannons, and the Qing army did not have the ability to calculate the trajectory, let alone report the impact point like Wang Deren, so these shells did no major damage except for the indiscriminate bombardment of the positions of the Shenzhou army.

At this moment, sporadic gunshots rang out on the Shenzhou Army's position. Because the Qing army at the shield car was too close to the position of the Shenzhou army, the losses of the Qing soldiers behind the shield car increased greatly.

"Report to the prince, the enemy's muskets are powerful, and the brothers at the front shield car and the gunners of General Cao are extremely dead and wounded. Especially the general manager and the general general have died completely. ”
