Chapter 891: It's a gimmick

Feather Arrows

Densely packed with feathered arrows

Although the Northern Soviet Army had few soldiers, the array of thousands of archers gathered together to pour feather arrows was also grand enough, and the water surface was as if it had been smashed by hail, and it crackled and picked up a layer of water vapor. The soldiers on the boat kept falling into the water, including the soldiers of the Black Flag Army and the soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army.

"Don't shoot arrows!"

A general of the Northern Soviet Army commanding the troops shouted at the top of his voice, but the archers on the shore have gone from being unable to do it at the beginning to being red-eyed now, who cares about his roar?

A feather arrow drilled through the gap in the shield in front of him, and stabbed into the general's chest with a pop, although the leather armor blocked part of the strength of the feather arrow, but the arrow still drilled in, the pain made his mind instantly confused, he subconsciously looked down at the arrow that was still trembling, and his eyes were incredible.

"Why do you want to shoot arrows at your own people?"

He muttered, his eyes full of sadness.

His own soldiers hurriedly came over, holding the shaft of the arrow with one hand, and cutting off the feather arrow with the other hand, because he didn't know how deep the piercing was, so no one dared to pull out the feather arrow rashly. The soldiers lamented, tore off their clothes and bandaged the general: "General, accept your fate, we may have been destined to have such a thing happen since we went to war." You're lucky enough that your leather armor is thick enough to look like the arrows aren't deep enough......"

He glanced at the general: "Look at the soldiers you have received, what can that thin leather armor block?" ”

His words came to an abrupt end, his hand that was still bandaging the general stiffened, and a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of his own soldiers, and then his body fell limply. A feathered arrow came in the back of his neck, and came out from the front of his neck, and there was blood on the arrow, and the blood from the feathered arrow splashed the general's face.

There was a shout from the shore, like the call of death: "Soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army, don't lean to the shore anymore!" Turn around and fight to the death with the enemy! Even if you die in battle, your family will have a general to support you! Turn back and fight to the death! ”

The soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army on the east bank shouted one after another: "Turn back and fight to the death!" ”

"Turn back and fight to the death!"

West Bank

Wu Yi glanced at Fang Xie and lowered his voice and asked, "The Navy Division has three warships with artillery installed, do you want to try the power?" ”

"Wait a little longer......"

Fang Xie held up his clairvoyance and looked at how far Du Dingbei's people were from the shore.

"My lord, my subordinates think that the artillery has just been equipped on the warship, and it should be saved for the time of the big war, so that it can be taken by surprise. If you use artillery now, you will have less deterrence when you face a strong enemy in the future. ”

Li Tai, the deputy general of the Flying Leopard Army, who was standing beside Fang Jie, said.

Fang Xie shook his head: "The purpose of creating a powerful weapon is not only to strike at the enemy, but the most important thing is to ...... Reduce the loss of your own people. No matter how expensive things are, they are not as expensive as human lives...... The distance is almost up, send a signal, let Zheng Qiu fire! ”

As soon as he gave the order, the herald standing behind him waved his banner.

The flagship of the sailor, who had been staring at Fang Jie's side, saw the big flag that was ordered to move, and hurriedly shouted. Zheng Qiu had been waiting for the power of the experimental artillery for a long time, and immediately roared after hearing the lookout shouting: "Use the artillery to blast out a way for our brothers to land on the shore!" Hit Lao Tzu hard in a crowded place of the enemy army! ”

Several windows suddenly opened on the side of the ship, and swarthy guns were pushed out of them. In the cabin, the soldiers of the firearms battalion, who had been training in the Zhuque Mountain camp for several years, had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and this was the first actual combat since the formation of the firearms battalion, and their mood was even more excited than Du Dingbei.

Boom!

Bang bang bang!

As the first cannon spat out flames, all the guns placed on the side of the ship opened fire, spitting out fiery snakes. As the cannonballs were fired, the huge recoil caused the ship to tilt to one side, but soon regained its balance. This is something that the sailor has already tried many times, so no one is worried.

The camp of the archers of the Northern Soviet Army on the opposite bank immediately exploded, and the soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army watched as a burning trajectory was thrown from the side of the big ship, and before they could react, what kind of shells had exploded in the crowd. These shells were modified from the artillery shells of the Oplu Empire captured by Fang Xie in Yunnan Province, and the damage range after explosion was extremely large.

The first cannonball landed in the crowd of archers, and the scattered fragments immediately swept away a crowd!

……

……

After a round of bombardment by three large ships equipped with artillery, the opposite shore was completely chaotic. The Northern Army of the Soviet Union didn't know what it was, but it was so powerful. The weapons in their hands seemed so small in front of the exploding cannonballs, and the sturdy shields could not stop the terrifying power.

Although only a dozen shells fell in the crowd, their deterrent effect was enough. The soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army began to retreat with wailing, and the formation immediately dispersed.

At this moment, Du Dingbei's centipede clipper was the first to approach the shore. Because the shallow water on the shore was smashed by the Northern Soviet Army, even the centipede clipper could not dock, so the soldiers of the Black Flag Army stopped three or four meters from the shore, and then jumped into the river one after another.

Although Du Dingbei's martial arts were commonplace, at this time he didn't think about commanding in the back at all, he knew very well how to establish prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, and there was no better way than to fight side by side with the soldiers. So, although he was scared, he still didn't back down.

"Ashore! Stabilize the formation and open an open space for those behind! ”

Du Dingbei took off his upper clothes, jumped into the river bare-chested, and held the horizontal knife in his mouth. Seeing that this young man was so brave, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army on the boat also took off their shirts one after another, jumped into the river and swam to the shore.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Hurry up and release the arrows!"

Mr. Nishiyama could no longer sit still when he saw that the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were about to land. He shouted loudly, then turned back and ordered the Warlords to kill behind him and stabilize the formation. The artillery frightened a large number of soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army, and the sudden explosion filled them with fear.

After hearing the order, the Warlord stood in a row behind the array, and pulled the crossbow in his hand without mercy. The soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army who ran back at the beginning immediately fell down to the next floor, and some people began to cry and beg for mercy, but the duty of the supervising team, even if they didn't want to do anything to their comrades, why did the military order be like a mountain?

The soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army were forced back to the shore, and by this time the Black Flag Army had already gathered several hundred people on the shore to form a circle that looked still thin. The most basic formation for defense is the phalanx, but this terrain circle is a bit more effective. This is a formation of hundreds of shirtless Black Flag Army men, using the knives in their hands and the blood in their wounds to fight for a place for the follow-up team.

Du Dingbei's body saw blood, after all, he was not good at martial arts, and this young man who led the troops for the first time showed enough calmness, which was not easy. An ordinary child has never seen a battle array, and it is already impressive to see that he has not peed his pants in the sea of corpses and blood, not to mention that he can still keep his head calm and clear.

Following the advice of the guards, Du Dingbei stood in the center of the circle and commanded: "If the enemy has heavy infantry, it will rush over immediately, don't panic when you see the heavy infantry coming over for a while, don't retreat, if we retreat, the brothers behind will suffer heavy casualties!" Since we are the first to rush over, I am ready to fight to the death with you, are you ready! ”

"Die for the Black Flag Army!"

The soldiers roared, and the shirtless men looked fearless!

Before Du Dingbei's words fell, hundreds of heavy infantry of the Northern Soviet Army on the high slope of the river embankment rushed towards this side in a phalanx, and in the panicked Northern Soviet Army camp, these well-trained heavy infantry were particularly eye-catching. Du Dingbei saw the group of heavy armor coming towards this side, and bit his lip: "Get ready!" Don't retreat! ”

"Don't retreat!"

A group of men roared, and the sun shone on their bronzed skin, reflecting a look that only bloody men can have!

That bulging muscle, that scar.

Only on the battlefield will the male demeanor of men be fully revealed!

……

……

Seeing that the heavy infantry of the Northern Soviet Army was about to rush over, several cavalry rushed over from behind the Northern Soviet Army, and the cavalry led by him looked urgent, and shouted a few times when he saw the Shuai Qi from a distance: "Yaning City was broken by the Black Flag Army!" The city is broken! General! Our city has been breached by a Black Flag army that suddenly appeared! ”

Sun Yingdian, who was already panicked, turned pale with fright when he heard this shout, and his body shook a few times and he sat on the ground.

"Rubbish! Idiot! ”

Mr. Nishiyama scolded hatefully after hearing the shout, and there was already despair in his eyes. He had been completely defeated in this battle until today, and only now did he suddenly realize why Fang Xie wanted to promote a young man who had never led troops in sixteen or seventeen.

He used such a gimmick to attract everyone's attention, including himself. Fang Xie deliberately created an atmosphere that even he was angry about. He has been famous in North Jiangsu Province for a long time, and the thieves are terrified when they hear it, and it is because of this that Fang Xie deliberately let the little-known young man take command to arouse his anger.

Fang Jie, on the other hand, took advantage of all the attention on this side and sent a team to the back to break through Yaning City. Now that the foundation has been lost, what's the point of fighting this battle again?

Mr. Nishiyama looked up to the sky and sighed and sat down softly.

Hearing the shouts of the cavalry behind, the soldiers of the Northern Soviet Army, who had already lost most of their fighting spirit, suddenly became confused, and the heavy infantry who were still squeezing forward were all stunned, not knowing whether they should continue to rush forward. None of them were fools, and it quickly occurred to them a possibility.

If they rushed up, they would definitely be able to squeeze those hundreds of Black Flag Army soldiers down, but it won't be long before the Black Flag Army soldiers who broke through Yaning City will come from behind, they are wearing such heavy armor, and when the time comes, they will be involved in the battle formation, and they won't be able to run if they want to!

When the bang

A soldier of the Northern Soviet Army at the front suddenly threw away the horizontal knife in his hand, and squatted down with his head in his hands: "I have surrendered!" ”

The first person to surrender appeared, and immediately followed by a large number of people, and this despair spread like a plague in the ranks of the Northern Soviet Army, and the group of soldiers surrounding Du Dingbei on the shore were the first to drop their weapons. Du Dingbei had already made a mortal heart, he knew that success and crisis would always be linked, and since he chose to accept Fang Jie's order to command this war, he had already made two preparations.

Greet the impending fame, or welcome death.

Hearing the voice of Yaning City being broken in the Northern Jiangsu Army, Du Dingbei's eyes immediately lit up: "Forward!" As soon as our reinforcements arrive, they will be behind the enemy! ”

"Onward!"

Hundreds of Black Flag soldiers rushed out first, vacating the open space, and the follow-up Black Flag soldiers began to land in large numbers. Without resistance, the Black Flag Army occupied the shore with great speed.

in the crowd

Sun Yingdian wailed in despair, slumped to the ground, and could no longer speak.
