Li Kaihe put on a brand-new cotton short coat, a new set of pants underneath, a pair of larger but just as new shoes on his feet, and a warm hat on his head. In fifty years of life, he has never dressed so neatly, better than what he wore when he married his daughter-in-law.

But Li Kaihe, who was dressed so well, was now pushing the shield cart tremblingly, leaning his body, and using all his strength to push the ground with his feet, pushing the heavy shield cart full of sandbags to slowly roll forward.

This kind of shield cart was modified from a grain truck, and it was very sturdy, with wooden rows nailed to the body, and then piled with sacks filled with sand, which could defend against Qin guns and small cannons, that is, mortars. The power is small, the rate of fire is fast, and it is flexible, and the Qing army called it a small cannon. In fact, it is a shield car, a shield car with a bulletproof effect. The only downside of this thing is that it is too heavy, and even five or six people will not be able to move it quickly. But fortunately, this is a plain, otherwise the road is not good, and it is really harder to push faster than to climb to the sky.

The people who pushed the cart with Li Kaihe were all the same Baoying children as him. He was requisitioned by the Huai Army as a strong man, eating and drinking well every day, and was given clothes and copper. Li Hongzhang thought quickly and did a lot of work.

Li Kaihe was digging trenches, and he rested for an afternoon in the afternoon, and he thought that it was the lord above who gave them a favor and let them rest. I didn't expect to be dragged to the battlefield at night to push these deadly heavy shield carts, and I had to brave the bullets and shells of the Qin army to push them!

Who isn't afraid? Li Kaihe is just a flat-headed ordinary man. I've seen today's battle! When the cannon roars, people are scared to pee. But if you don't push, you can't do it, you have to cut off your head. And the military master promised that if they were lucky enough not to die tonight, they would have ten oceans per person, and they would immediately roll up their beds and go home.

"Uncle Kaihe, I can't push it, I'm afraid ......" A strong man beside Li Kaihe looked at the thirty-year-old with a miserable face, snorting and panting, opening his mouth a few times, squeezing out such a sentence. The young man and Li Kaihe didn't care about each other, but the two were assigned a shack very early, and the relationship became familiar, Li Kaihe was the same age as his father, and the young man called him uncle.

"Yes, think about your wife and children, think about your family, you will have energy."

It's boring, the shield cart is pushed slowly, and the military master who follows behind is a knife to kill people. The previous military master didn't make it clear when he announced the law. If this person dies, what will the wife and children of the family do?

's own little life, in the eyes of those military masters behind, is really worthless.

Li Kaihe has been digging trenches and working as coolies for so many days, and he has also heard a word from the mouths of several soldiers -- cannon fodder, which means to attract the target of the gun and send it to death. Aren't you and others cannon fodder today?

Behind them were scattered armoured Huai troops, all with foreign guns in their hands and knives in their hands. Like a fierce god, Ding Zhuang, who dared to delay the cart in front, was immediately shot! The lives of these people are like ants in their eyes.

And Li Kaihe also knows that his own batch is not the only one. Behind his own people, there are two batches of cannon fodder with the same fate as himself.

"Forward, forward, don't stop. Violators will be killed! The shouts of the Huai officers and soldiers rang out one after another, making the Ding Zhuang of the cart brave the Qin army's artillery fire to move forward even harder.

The further you go, the more difficult it becomes. The mortar moved flexibly and fired quickly, and although the shell was not very powerful, it had to be smashed on the shield cart, and a shield cart would definitely fall apart. It can be used as cover between positions.

The Huai officers and soldiers in armor were very anxious. They also knew that the last part of the road was not easy to walk, and these slow-moving sandbag shield trucks were the live targets of the Qin army's artillery fire!

In particular, those officers were not on the battlefield for the first time, and they knew very well the dangers inside when they saw human blood.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The sound of artillery seemed to have become more intense. When the shield car was less than 500 meters away from the Qin army's frontline position, the Qing army's artillery fire accurately fell on the Qin army's artillery position. Although the artillery of the Qin army had completely eliminated the three artillery positions of the Huai army before.

The artillery of the Qin army disappeared, but the mortars of the Qin army were still very active.

There was a loud bang, and a cannonball slammed into the sandbag of a sandbag shield truck. The blasting force of the cannonball was blocked by the soft sandbag, and it did not blow the entire shield cart into the air, but the huge unimaginable impact force still completely dispersed the entire shield cart. At the same time, the sand and wood chips splashed so hard that all five or six Ding Zhuang behind the shield car fell to the ground.

Some people died directly, some fainted, and some people still had breath, and as long as they were angry, they were moaning in pain.

Li Kaihe was most envious of a sandbag shield car that was stuck in a crater and couldn't walk because the axle was broken. His eyes were very envious as he looked at the few Ding Zhuang behind the broken and collapsed sandbag shield truck, and five or six people were all huddled behind the sandbags piled up like a hill, and there was no need to risk their lives to push the cart forward. And the three armored Huai soldiers who followed behind didn't blame those Ding Zhuang much, and they held their guns behind the sandbags and put them in front of them.

Li Kaihe pushed the shield cart with envy and walked through the 'beautiful' scenery. I didn't see it, and it didn't take long for the Huai army to come up and drive these Ding Zhuang away, and let them continue to work hard behind the other sandbag shield trucks that were not shot--their work was not finished yet, and they had to brave the rain of bullets and bullets to continue to work hard.

A loud "boom...... sounded, followed by heart-rending screams. At this time, Li Kaihe was no longer attracted by the explosion of the shell, and what attracted him was the painful scream. When I turned my head to look, I saw that a sandbag shield truck had been blown into parts, and the broken sandbags were scattered all over the ground, and several of them were blown up. It was Ding Zhuang who was pushing the cart who made a miserable scream, either the bones were broken by the sandbags blown off by the explosion, or they were swept down by the shrapnel of the shells.

That's the power of shells! Li Kaihe's heart suddenly rose to his throat, don't come to yourself with this thing!

Ding Zhuang and Huai Jun, who were injured by the shell explosion, screamed miserably, making dying and desperate sounds. Li Kaihe felt that it was completely right for him to put on the new clothes issued by the military master, bring the reward money, and go to the battlefield, because the possibility of walking off the battlefield alive tonight is really small!

Dress decently, bring money, meet the king of Hades, and wish to have a good birth in the next life! At the same time, he also saved himself to die, and I don't know which king and calf belonged to this set of clothes and the reward in his pocket. Anyway, Li Kaihe didn't believe that after he died, the military master would kindly send all the clothes and rewards back to his house for him.

At this moment, an unimaginable force suddenly came from the handle of the cart, which immediately shattered the tiger's mouth of Li Kaihe's hands, and he fell to the ground before he could stand firmly. Hit...... Li Kaihe's mind came up with the appearance of the Ding Zhuang who were beaten into blood gourds just now and were still screaming, and instinctively held their heads with both hands.

Waiting for the shells to explode is certainly the hardest, although only a second or two, or even less. The explosion sounded, and the scorching flames expanded, engulfing the entire front and back of the shield car, and Li Kaihe felt that his ears suddenly couldn't hear anything, and then the whole person didn't know anything......

In Bishui Town, Feng Jingshan was already on the top of Bauhinia Garden, looking at the opposite side with his eyes. New points of fire of the enemy appeared. It's fierce, it's intense, and the shooting is accurate. More than 20 artillery pieces covered the previous artillery positions, and although the artillery positions were already rapidly shifting after hitting the three artillery positions of the Huai Army, two pieces of artillery were still blown up. There were also six losses of personnel, as well as hundreds of shells that were deliberately left in positions and not withdrawn.

Feng Jingshan's face was very stern.

Hundreds of shells are not worth mentioning, and they are left on the positional artillery positions just to confuse the enemy and make the Huai army think that they have really knocked out our artillery. But the enemy's attack came too quickly, and the loss of two guns made him very distressed.

In addition to this newly exposed artillery position, during the period when the Qin army transferred the artillery position, Feng Jingshan never found a second fire point. This should be the only reserve artillery position of the Huai army. Of course, there are other possibilities, but war is not calculated that way. Otherwise you simply can't be from! There must be a decision!

The pressure on the front line is already great. With the help of the flares, Feng Jingshan saw that the shield car of the Huai army had shrunk to within three hundred meters of the frontline position. The situation cannot be delayed!

On the battlefield, the fighting continues.

The sandbag shield cart slowly rolled forward, pulling out a long wave.

This time, the Huai army invested more than 100 sandbag shield trucks, and Ding Zhuang used them to push the carts no less than 800 people.

Wu Hongluo watched the shield cart approaching little by little, and watched the Qin army's artillery completely shut down, and a smile was already all over his face. Mortar shells hit the sandbag shield truck, knocking over some of them and blowing others up. The expression on Wu Hongluo's face gradually became solemn.

As the number of sandbag shield trucks became smaller and smaller, the Qin army's mortars began to concentrate on firing the remaining sandbag shield trucks, and soon only forty or fifty sandbag shield trucks were still persistently moving forward. Less than half of the number!

And the spirits of those Ding Zhuang who were forced to push the cart were about to collapse. Now they had to wait until the soldiers behind them went up and put their guns on their vests before they were willing to continue forward. The casualties of the armored battalion were not small, and if it were not for the entire battalion of soldiers scattered behind each shield cart, the current number of casualties would have collapsed long ago. So the atmosphere in the Huaijun infantry camp is also very tense!

The only relaxed and good atmosphere in the Huai army on the front line was the artillery positions. After paying the price of twelve breech guns, twenty-four breech guns and a group of gunners, they finally determined the position of the artillery position of the Qin army, and then slammed it and killed the opponent cleanly!

At this moment, on the artillery position of the Huai Army, several foreigners with blue eyes, high noses, and golden brown hair were pointing at the opposite side and laughing. Suddenly, the familiar roar of cannonballs reached their ears, 'Boom ......', 'Boom ......'

Several foreigners looked confused. Where did the cannonballs come from, listen to the sound and fall very close! R1152
