Defeating the flag bearer is one of the most effective ways to lower the morale of the enemy in battle, the battlefield is full of people, the height is about the same, all you can see is the high flagpole and the flag fluttering on it, as long as the flag is still there, often the morale will not drop too much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infom Wonderful Oriental Literature|{See the latest chapter:}

The existence of the trench not only allows the flag to drop in height, but also allows more people to crowd in the trench, causing panic among the crowd. The first person to climb the trench was thrown to the ground, and sure enough, the people in the trench below screamed, and even the crowd behind them who had not yet entered the trench was stunned, and many of them stood still, staring at the battle flag that had fallen back into the trench in a daze.

Zhao Siwen knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't care about it so much, so he immediately shouted loudly, "Flag!" Flag! Rush up! The soldiers next to him also shouted loudly.

"There is no immortal in war! Come on! Gradually, there was a response from the crowd, and more flags were erected in the trenches, and there were people carrying the others down and sending them up, and the crowds in the trenches rushed forward, for the closer they were to the enemy, the more they could threaten them.

As the first group of people rushed up the earthen embankment, a few veteran snipers could not defeat them all, so they could only randomly select some of the targets that seemed to be a little overly excited, and watched as the ant-like crowd poured up from the trench, at first only one or twenty, then one or two hundred, and then they couldn't count at all.

The surging crowd soon advanced to the second trench about six hundred meters from the city wall, and the soldiers of the South Bank Army rushed towards the city wall in the same way, ready to jump off the trench and then cross the trench directly according to the previous example. But there is an essential difference between the front of the second trench and the first trench, and the person who walks in front of the trench is frightened by the dense wooden thorns at the bottom of the trench before they come to the trench - according to Maruyama's suggestion, the bottom of the second trench is already full of sharpened wooden sticks, and the sharpened parts are pointed upwards, which makes people feel a chill in their backs when they see it.

However, the people in front of them were the same as the previous time, they could not stop their feet at all, and were pushed into the trench by the people who followed behind, and most of them simply fell sideways, and fell directly on the wooden thorns in a burst of screams, and then fell silent in a burst of screams. And the person who pushed them down didn't do any good, and then he was pushed directly into it by the person behind him. However, their luck was obviously much better than that of the first group to be pushed forward, and the wooden spikes below had been covered by the corpses of those people, and even if they were not covered, they were in a position where they could not be hit by falling, and the survival rate was significantly higher. The bottom of the trench was like purgatory, and the ground was instantly stained red with gushing blood, and the bottom was immediately filled with a layer of dead bodies, and on top of it was a layer of wailing wounded.

The auxiliaries who were originally cannon fodder were basically still in the first trench, and the second trench was filled with the combat power of the South Bank Army, which was definitely not planned before the war.

"Quick! Go down! The sergeant in the back brandished his sword and yelled at the soldiers in front, "Don't be afraid! Killed there is a pension! The first to rush to the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! "In fact, whether it is Zhao Ximin or Ruan Wei, no one has ever agreed to reward silver, and the purgatory scene under the trench is like a monster opening its mouth to devour the soldiers charging forward, and the sergeants can only use this impossible slogan to coax the soldiers to come forward and die, and at the same time, they also drive the auxiliary soldiers who are left behind to hurry to the front. However, the auxiliaries behind didn't know their wishful thinking, and they all struggled in the first trench, but they refused to go up.

In fact, the tragic scene in the second trench also frightened the people on the city wall, especially the senators, even the veterans who had fought the defense of the port of Champa could not adapt to such a bloody scene. Even Wang Xiaojing, the cook who has been boasting that she is not afraid of heaven and earth, is pale at this time, squatting by the city wall and vomiting below. But the second trench was not the end of the tragedy, for the soldiers who climbed the trench like ants encountered something even more terrible - mines.

With the roar of several mines, huge fireballs rose on the ground almost simultaneously, exploded in the air, and split into hundreds of small fireballs with white smoke. These flaming white fireballs fell with the east wind towards the west, and fell straight on the heads of the dense crowd on the ground.

These are still white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and unlike the incendiary bombs used in the defense of Champa Port, these incendiary bombs are filled with low-power detonating charges in addition to the burning white phosphorus. When an incendiary bomb is pushed into the air by the mine's shock wave, the detonator inside explodes, scattering the burning incendiary charge everywhere. The South Bank soldiers below watched in horror as the fireballs fell on themselves and their companions, and then continued to burn.

"Ahh The men in the robes immediately took off their clothes, and the shirtless ones hurriedly tried to extinguish the flames on their bodies with their hands, but after two strokes, they found something different, not only did the flames not become smaller and extinguished with the beating of their clothes, but they were still burning slowly and tepidly as before.

What is even more terrifying is that not only the clothes used to fight are also on fire, but even the hands of those who fight the flames with their hands are also on fire. The combustion of these phosphorus fires does not care about the burning conditions, even if they fall into the water or in a place where there is no air, the white phosphorus incendiary bombs can continue to burn until they are completed. The group of soldiers soon discovered the horror of this flame, and saw their comrades who were on fire rushing towards them, and they could only turn around in horror to dodge, but they could only swing their knives and slash these comrades who were still burning.

The creatures of this world, whatever they are, are terrified of fire. This kind of ghostly thing usually only exists in legends, but now that Meng Buding suddenly appeared in front of him, the morale of the soldiers of the South Bank Army immediately collapsed, and they all turned around and fled.

"Don't run away!" "Don't run away! Rush up! "Turn around and run away! Kill! The soldiers of the Judge Advocate Corps roared, brandished their knives and guns, and rushed at the soldiers who were turning and fleeing.

With the continuous fire of the veteran snipers on the city wall, several soldiers of the military court corps were thrown to the ground, but such shooting was ineffective - even after more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded by the trenches and white phosphorus incendiary bombs, there were still more than 4,000 people on the battlefield, and some of these 4,000 people were forward, some were backward, and some were standing in place at a loss. Due to the fact that the original officers had been sniped in large numbers during the previous march, the entire front army was in chaos.

Even the snipers of the veteran sniper team are assigned to the double sniper squad of the main and secondary shooters, but neither the main shooter nor the observer can find the target accurately, and often the observer has just found a suspected target, and the main shooter has not had time to aim, and has been directly swept away by the surging crowd and cannot be found.

"Six hundred meters!" Qian Longzhou punched the battlement of the city wall fiercely, "Six hundred meters will be broken!" What a? ”

"Isn't it good to run away?" Li Yuan next to him asked curiously, still holding a telescope in his hand, "Our cannon has been shooting." ”

"Cannons can't keep firing for long periods of time." Qian Longzhou shook his head, "If the artillery is fired for too long, the temperature will be too high, which will directly affect the life of the gun body, our smoothbore gun must stop firing for an hour after firing twenty shells, and the hexagonal gun is even shorter, and fifteen rounds will stop firing for forty minutes." ”

"And this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, he was familiar with firearms, he almost didn't know anything about artillery, but after thinking about it, he understood, "Also, the barrel of the gun must also stop firing or replace the barrel after continuous firing, and the cannon is naturally more demanding." ”

At this moment, the artillery that had been firing stopped firing, Qian Longzhou and they hurriedly looked over, and the soldiers were scrubbing the cannon body with water to help the barrel quickly cool down - this action is forbidden in the artillery drill code, the hot barrel will shrink immediately if it encounters cold water, and these barrels are made of steel, which can easily damage the strength of the barrel, resulting in accidents such as explosions. But Li Zhen can't help it now, if he doesn't cool down by drinking water to quench his thirst, after an hour of cooling time, the battle is basically over. There are only a few smoothbore guns in the entire Shabakri, and there is only one hexagonal cannon, if you can't maintain continuous firepower, it is easy for you to lose sight of yourself when you suddenly mute fire, and it is more likely to cause the enemy to quickly move closer. Therefore, he had to take advantage of the fact that the barrel was not heating up at a high rate and ordered all the gun crews to stop firing and scrub the gun body with cold water to cool down. The soldiers dipped their mops in buckets of water and scrubbed back and forth on the gun, only to see that the white water vapor immediately rose, and everyone nearby smelled the smell of rusty iron emitted by the hot steel when it met cold water.

"Ruan Yi's cannon is dumb!" "Ruan Yi can't shoot anymore!" "Rush! They can't beat us anymore! "Before, these soldiers of the South Bank Army were beaten by the continuous artillery bombardment, but now when they saw that the artillery fire had stopped, they immediately reacted." Ruan Zhi can't beat us! Rush up! Kill Ruan Shun! Immediately, many of the sergeants raised their weapons and shouted. Although the soldiers next to them said that they were frightened by the previous white phosphorus incendiary bombs, but the people who were ignited before had either been burned to death, or had been hacked to death by their own people, although the corpse was still emitting smoke and the smell of burning, but they could no longer threaten themselves, seeing that the people on the city wall six hundred meters away could no longer threaten themselves, they actually regained the will to attack, and rushed up to the city wall again under the drive of the sergeant.

"Good guys!" Seeing that the enemy had reorganized the attack, Qian Longzhou jumped up excitedly. You must know that although the battle ahead scared the enemy, it did not break the bones of the attacking enemy, and if you retreat, with the organizational ability of these armies in this time and space, it will be at least tomorrow to launch a new attack. In order to fight a war, it is necessary to cripple the South Bank Army at one time, and at the same time, it is also possible to let the troops hidden in the forest protrude from the flanks and directly break up the enemy's organizational system, and it is best to completely eliminate the command system of the South Bank Army and completely eliminate the last "strong army" in Annam, so as to prepare for the "liberation of Annam" in the future.

"Five hundred meters!" The rangefinder soldier shouted, and the enemy below entered fifty meters in front of the last trench. But now all the mines were planted in front of the third trench, and the soldiers who rushed towards the city wall with their swords were immediately surrounded by continuous explosions, and the smoke columns were all around, and the shattered limbs and severed arms flew in all directions with the shock wave, and the soldiers who followed them were once again frightened to stop their progress.

"Volley aim!" The platoon commanders on the city wall began to shout, and the soldiers picked up their rifles that had been loaded long ago, then turned on the salvo sights in front of them, and then kept their guns in a position and tilted their heads to look at the platoon commander next to him who was giving orders.

The enemy is the enemy and the enemy is the only enemy, and the ball is in the post-war land

"Five hundred meters away!" "Aim!" Orders were shouted one after another, and the soldiers hurriedly raised their rifles and began to aim at the gauge of 500 meters. "Haha, I remember that when we fought to defend the port of Zhancheng, we still used bamboo poles to shoot." Niu Jinxing said to Ruan Wenyu with a smile, Ruan Wenyu sneered, "Of course, at that time, our Senate rifles were all unrifled. The soldiers didn't know how to aim, so it was certainly easier to use a bamboo pole in comparison. ”

"Hey, it's better for our new rifle now, just open it and stuff it inside, you don't have to put the barrel up and pour gunpowder into it." Niu Jinxing said as he glanced at the Senate rifle in the hand of the recruit next to him.

"Of course, we weren't the Senate's army at that time, and it's good to equip you with Senate rifles," Ruan Wenyu looked left and right, the soldiers had already finished aiming, he raised his hand high and roared, "Long live the Senate!" Shoot! ”

A burst of bean-like sounds suddenly erupted on the city wall in the distance, and the soldiers of the South Bank Army couldn't help but be stunned, this is shooting? They didn't dare to hold it up, since they were harassed by the special reconnaissance team before, there were not a few shots at this distance, and it was obvious that Ruan Wei's musket could hit this distance.

Sure enough, the people behind them let out screams of being hit, and the wounded soldiers fell to the ground on their feet, and were immediately trampled to death by the panicked crowd around them.
