Chapter 145: Attack and Defense

"I'm fine, company commander!"

A gunner got up with a dare, shook his head and shouted, a flying stone hit his head just now, fortunately with the protection of the Kevlar helmet, otherwise he might have reported to the Hades Palace.

"Hurry up and set up the cannons! Keep calling me! ”

"Yes!"

"Boom!" "Boom! "Knock! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

In the midst of these two different roars, this magical artillery battle lasted for more than half an hour......

Although the Guohua city wall has collapsed in several places, the heavy artillery in front of the Great Western Army is finally gone, and the remaining cannons are gradually muted.

However, Guo Jingyun's buzzing ears finally came with a voice that he didn't want to hear: "Company commander! No more shells! ”

Sun Kewang, who was standing on a mound in the distance and watching the battle, quietly watched this never-before-seen artillery battle, and felt a chill in his heart.

Looking at the situation, the other party seems to have only one cannon, but what kind of cannon is this so evil? Hit so far and so accurately, the cannonball fired looked small, but it turned out to be a flowering shell!

Now, he finally believed in the power of the Western firearms of the Qinchuan Marquis that Zheng Guo had described to him, fortunately the other party was not the main force, if there were a few more of these cannons, wouldn't so many people of Lao Tzu be slaughtered?

When he was confused, he suddenly found that the sound of the cannons on the city wall had stopped, and his own side still had three or five respect cannons still firing sporadically.

"They, finally out of guns?"

Sun Kewang reacted immediately, and then turned his head and shouted to Ma Bao, who was standing beside him: "You go, tell Ma Jinzhong that the Ming army has no artillery, and order the remaining cannons to bombard him again!" Then besiege the city! ”

"The last general obeys!" Ma Bao clenched his fists and took his life, and galloped away.

……

This time, Li Yuanyin and Guo Jingyun had no power to fight back, fortunately, there were not many heavy artillery on the other side, although the flying cannon was huge, it was not dense, and the soldiers on the city wall could avoid the ballistics relatively calmly, and the casualties were not too serious, but it was a pity that the already thin city wall was collapsed in a few places, and three or four relatively large gaps had already appeared.

Seeing this, Li Yuanyin ordered his soldiers to carry him around the inspection, constantly shouting to cheer up his subordinates, arranging for firecrackers to strictly guard the gap, and organizing people to carry the bodies and wounded of the war dead down from the city.

Although these rookie soldiers who had just entered the battle battle, although they were blown up one by one, after seeing the blood of their comrades-in-arms, they instead had a bloody impulse to fight to the death, and their faces showed resoluteness.

On the contrary, the losses were greater among these veterans under Guo Jingyun, and after an artillery battle, more than a dozen soldiers had been killed or seriously wounded.

These so-called veterans, in fact, have only participated in two large-scale battles for Yu Lin and the siege and annihilation of Kong Youde, and these battles were won too easily, so that everyone from Guo Jingyun and others were a little underestimated.

Because he thought he was the main force defending the city, Guo Jingyun had already placed two machine guns at the head of the city, but one of the machine gun positions that was difficult to move was unfortunately hit by a cannon, and the two machine gun shooters were also killed on the spot, and even the remains were buried in the collapsed broken masonry.

Seeing the loss of one of the strongest firepower points, Guo Jingyun trembled in distress, and hurriedly ordered the machine gunners on the other side to go down to the city to hide.

……

Less than half an hour later, it was still here, and with the sound of war drums outside the city, the siege of the Great Western Army finally began.

Ma Jinzhong's forward battalion also had more than 7,000 men, fully equipped with light artillery, guns, guns, knives, guns, bows and arrows.

Seeing this, Guo Jingyun's heart was a little calmer, there was no threat of long-distance heavy artillery, he was not afraid of close combat, he immediately picked up the carbine, took the communicator to patrol around, and kept shouting: "Don't panic, put it closer and fire again, pay attention to saving bullets." ”

With a distance of more than two miles, it only takes a few minutes to run with all your might, and in the blink of an eye, the crowd is pouring in front of you.

When there were less than 100 meters left, Guo Jingyun saw that the enemy army had gunners and crossbowmen in the formation and stopped and began to prepare for covering shooting, and immediately shouted: "Fight!" Raising the carbine in his hand is a shuttle.

In an instant, the gunfire was everywhere, and the knife and axe men who rushed to the front were fine, and the dense bullets almost all flew towards the firecrackers and crossbowmen, and immediately the flesh and blood flew sideways, and hundreds of firecrackers and crossbowmen fell in a row in a pool of blood.

Especially when the roar of the only machine gun sounded, the intensity of its bullet rain was such that wherever the trajectory swept through, it was a wall of flesh and blood, and all those who stood in it were broken limbs and killed on the spot.

Without the threat of long-range weapons, the musketeers and archers of the Ming army at the head of the city also became active at once, leaning out and shooting arrows to the city.

However, after all, the Great Western Army was outnumbered, and soon some people rushed to the base of the city wall, and the ladders braved the rain of bullets to lean on the head of the city one after another, and behind, a large number of people continued to pour forward, and the crowd under the city wall became more and more dense.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The tiger cannon on the head of the city roared at the right time, and pieces of small lead and gravel weighing five coins sprayed into the crowd in the shape of a fan, and suddenly the enemy was screaming again and again, and the crowd scattered like ants, and the offensive suddenly froze.

The person who was hit by this kind of shelling was particularly painful, because he would not die immediately and could even run, but his whole body was shot like a hedgehog, and dozens of blood holes were gushing out, and in the blink of an eye, he became a bloody man screaming and scurrying around, and his condition was unbearable, and everyone who saw it was terrified.

Seeing this, Sun Kewang's face turned pale, and then he looked up at the sky, turned his head to Feng Shuangli and said, "You go, send three thousand more people to Ma Jinzhong, and tell him to give him another hour, if you can't get the fruit again, come to see me." ”

"Obey!" Feng Shuangli took the order and left.

Ma Jinzhong is also a battle-hardened general, he knows what King Qin means to send him more manpower, and immediately clasped his fists and said to Feng Shuangli:

"Deputy marshal rest assured, the last general will fill it with human lives, and he will also fill in this Guohua Town! If you can't take it, the family of the last general will ask the deputy marshal to take care of it! ”

"If you understand, go ahead." Feng Shuangli narrowed his eyes, waved his horsewhip, and pointed forward.

"The last general obeys!"

After seeing Feng Shuangli turn around and leave, Ma Jinzhong immediately organized his own light artillery to fire back at all parts of the city; On the other hand, he left the men assigned to him at the end of the battle, and still ordered his own men to rush to the front, so that he wanted to show that he was a proud and capable general.

Although there were several gaps in the city wall, he still ordered his teams to spread out in all directions and charge from all sides at the same time, forcing the Ming army to disperse their fire.
