Yingshang City is a place with convenient transportation, if you want to go south and north, it is convenient to go east and west, but the premise is that there must be Yingshui, a traffic artery.

The Huaiyang Army of the Jiaozhou Battalion is now like a nail, firmly holding the road between Yingshangcheng and Yingshui, and no matter how reluctant the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo Battalion is, it can only attack with all its might. There are four gates in Yingshang County, and there are roads all around, but except for the east gate by the river, the rest of the city gate direction, one person or two people can escape from the city, and it is impossible for the army to move.

They all know that there is only one road in the East Gate Yingshui River.

Erecting a low wall in a front-to-face front, with the advantage of artillery and firearms, can constitute a blockade. Even if the 5th Battalion of the Revolution wants to use the tactics of crowds to break through this low wall—indeed, the density of firepower in this era is not at all able to stop the charging crowd—but rushing to the low wall filled with bamboo rows for bones, it cannot attack the officers and soldiers on the opposite side through the wall, and must climb over the wall. This low wall has become an insurmountable obstacle.

No matter how well the veteran is trained and how fast he moves. Running and charging, crossing the wall, and then standing up to fight, the momentum of the impact was offset by the action of climbing over the wall, the soldiers in the front and rear rows could not continue to form an impact on the Huaiyang army, and the rear team kept keeping up, but the front team was blocked, and the front and rear were crowded together.

The numerical superiority of the 5th Battalion of the Revolution could not be waved, and the spearmen of the Huaiyang Army were only facing a homeless soldier, rather than a continuous onslaught. Because there was a short interval between climbing over the low wall, the spearmen of the Huaiyang army could assassinate relatively calmly, and even rotate the team.

The side of the low wall built by the bamboo rafts near the river was soon filled with corpses, but that was all, the cannons and firecrackers roared incessantly to harvest life, and the spears were silent, but the valiant warriors were pierced through the guts.

The blood courage of the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution was quickly disappeared without a trace, and the footsteps of the people behind became slower and slower. Gradually, the musketeers who had retreated to the back of the line reloaded their ammunition and began to shoot at the front. The infantry of the 5th Battalion of the Left was too close. The musketeers only need to aim in the general direction and at the same time lower the muzzle height to shoot at will. There will always be someone in front of the gun.

In the face of this endless slaughter, the displaced soldiers could not bear the death and fear, and began to retreat, gradually returning to the edge of the outer side of the moat, and the confrontation between the two sides returned to the beginning of the situation. \

It's just that between friend and foe, a large number of corpses have been left behind. And the wounded who were whining on the ground. They weren't dead for a while, they were just struggling on the ground, they didn't know who was going to save them, they just tried their last bit of strength. To grasp at the straw that you don't see at all, the land is already soaked in blood, and even merged into streams and flows into the moat.

The east gate of Yingshang City was not closed, and the displaced soldiers in the city were still pouring out in large numbers, arraying on the outside of the river, while Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuojin, and Wei Xiaobei, the king of the troubled times, led their men to the city.

If you look closely, you can see that the artillery, firearms, bows and arrows and other long-range weapons of the 5th Battalion of the Revolution did not appear outside the city. Many of the soldiers outside the city were armed with sticks and farming tools. And these homeless soldiers with sharp weapons and firearms are concentrated at the head of the city.

Liu Xiyao and Wei Xiaobei's faces were a little pale, in such a narrow space. charged with such a momentum, but in the end, he was calmly repelled by the other party, and there was really nothing to do next. \

But the officers and soldiers still did not pursue or attack, they were still behind the earthen walls, but a group of people threw the corpses outside.

On the high platform in the array of officers and soldiers, Chen Liu, the general of the Huaiyang Army, did not focus on the side of Yingshang City, his attention was always on the upstream direction of the river.

Although there are low hills and paddy fields and dense ditches, there are still several roads passing through, and He Yilong can only move from this direction.

Almost as soon as the onslaught on this side was over, an urgent message came from the ships that had been arranged to observe upstream, and a force was moving over and approaching.

After the water battle in Zhengyang Town, presumably the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution may not dare to use the boat, with a red-hot iron ball to attack the wooden boat, the Jiaozhou battalion has made calculations, almost thirty counts, the board of the ship will definitely burn, this is almost the natural enemy of the wooden boat on the water.

This is one of the few military contributions of Dunglas to the Jiaozhou battalion, the naval battles in Europe, the attack between ships, the use of red-hot shells, in order to kill and injure the enemy ships as much as possible, this method is simple and easy to learn, but in fact, only the Jiaozhou battalion often exercises, the quality of the artillery can be used, otherwise there will be a lot of chaos and trouble. =

The shelling of the red iron ball, I am afraid that this is the most impressive thing of the Fifth Battalion of the Left Battalion, and the boats will definitely not be used again, anyway, the ships of the Huaiyang Army near the dock on the river bank are still equipped with small cannons.

There is not much space between the low wall and the river bank, and there are only about 4,000 soldiers on the shore at present, and many of the rest are on the boat, Chen Liu heard that the four roads in the upstream direction, that is, in the northwest direction, are very narrow, and they can only accommodate three or four people running side by side, which should be separated from each other when the farmers plough the fields, or a place that is not suitable for farming.

The troops were on the side of the low wall, which was already a little crowded, and such a narrow road, that is, there could be no more than ten muskets to fire, and it could not be effective in killing the soldiers and horses that were constantly pouring in.

"The sword and shield hand is one step away from the junction, and the spearmen are behind, and the earth is padded in the gap, a little higher, so that the musketeers can stand up."

Around Chen Liu's position, there were all personal guards, all listening attentively to the order, and as soon as Chen Liu's order came out, someone immediately turned around to give the order. \

The battlefield was already a little quiet, Chen Liu was there, constantly observing the direction of Yingshang City and the upstream, and vaguely he could already hear a noisy sound in the northwest direction, obviously He Yilong led the troops to kill, Chen Liu ** nose, feeling that the taste was wrong.

He quickly reacted, this is the smell of burning firewood and grass, and at this time, he suddenly heard someone shouting on the warship docked in Yingshui:

"Fireship, fireship!!"

Going down the river with a burning boat, this method was also used by Liu Xiyao when he was in Zhengyang Town, but he didn't expect it to be a repeat of the old trick this time.

But the scale of the fireboat this time is too big, standing in the direction of Chen Liu and looking at the upstream obliquely, the situation on the river is obscured by trees or something, but the smoke is billowing out, there is actually a feeling of covering the sky and the sun, and the air is a little choking.

Seeing this smoke on the head of Yingshang City, Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuojin, immediately ordered loudly:

"Let the brothers continue to rush, little four, open the silver box!!"

There were more than a dozen wooden boxes on Liu Xiyao's side at the head of the city, and the short soldier he called Xiaosi pulled out a knife and slammed open the wooden box, which was full of white silver, Liu Xiyao grabbed a handful, and threw it directly towards the city, and the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution attacked Yingshang City that day.

The moat near the city gate had already been filled a lot, and Liu Xiyao was standing under the head of the city, watching the silver spilled in mid-air.

Seeing a corpse in front of the low wall, these homeless soldiers standing under the city were already demoralized, and they didn't know what to do, but suddenly they looked at the large amount of silver spilled at the head of the city, and the precious metal of the white flowers immediately mobilized everyone's emotions.

Wei Xiaobei, the king of troubled times, was a little stupid by his side, thinking to himself what was going on, why did Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuojin, actually invest so much.

But he didn't dare to say anything, when he left, He Yilong and this Liu Xiyao explained clearly, the two of them decided on various plans, but they didn't tell themselves, obviously treating themselves as outsiders, this He Yilong and Lao Hui Ma Shouying have always been incompatible.

Wei Xiaobei and Lao Hui are the closest relatives, so they are naturally on guard, but in such a situation, Wei Xiaobei can only let Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuojin, arrange everything, and the strength of the five battalions of the left is not much different, and the combination of any two battalions is far greater than the other army.

In such a chaotic situation in front of you, there must be a lot of messy things, if you don't have eyes, you can't be directly caught in the city.

The homeless soldiers below, whether they were the subordinates of King Zuojin or the subordinates of the King of the Troubled Times, were all screaming and thundering, and their morale was rising again.

"Brothers, drive those officers and soldiers down the river, Lao Liu's silver is all big guys, let's go back to our hometown in Henan than in this bastard place, and then follow King Chuang to enjoy happiness and sit in the world."

While saying this, Liu Xiyao's guards all lifted the silver box to the battlement of the city, grabbed a lot of silver and sprinkled it down, all of which were looted from all over the place, not the kind of standard silver ingots, scattered silver directly like this, the momentum was huge, and many of them fell into the moat, and some people jumped down to touch it regardless of it, Liu Xiyao shouted at the top of his voice:

"Rush over, this silver belongs to everyone!!"
