Chapter 320: Crossing the River

Zhou Yuhong, who was standing on the east bank of the Yellow River, shouted excitedly: "It's really possible, it's really okay to put the mortar on the ferry..."

"Hurry up, put all the remaining nine heavy mortars on the nine ferries just selected, and do a good job of reinforcement....hurry up, be sure to finish him before the noon attack..."

"Ben will immediately report to the marshal, please prepare to cross the river..."

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the ten 'gunboats' that Zhou Yuhong had high hopes for were all ready to be completed.

At the same time, a musket regiment of more than 1,000 musketeers who crossed the river in the first wave also boarded the remaining ferries and prepared to cross the river...

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who had already shown a greedy expression on the other side of the river, was standing on a hill less than a hundred steps away from the river, quietly waiting for the time to come.

At noon, when the sun is at its strongest. Wei Zheng finally put down the monocular and ordered Zhou Yuhong beside him.

"General Zhou, whether you can enter Shaanxi or not, success or failure is in one move....this marshal ordered, start crossing the river..."

"The last general commands..."With a fanatical Zhou Yuhonghong, he said loudly.

Then, he directly ordered the guards around him: "Send a signal immediately....order the soldiers to start crossing the river..."

"All ......" three muffled cannon sounds quickly sounded behind several people. Then, three flares flew into the sky with a whistling sound and exploded.

At this time, the dozens of ferries that had been lined up along the Yellow River, with the efforts of the boatmen, were like sharp swords. Quickly rushed to the center of the Yellow River...

The explosion of three flares. Sue sรน tiger and leopard army crossed the river at the same time as the soldiers began to cross the river. Also tell the traitors on the other side of the river to prepare for battle.

So, when dozens of ferries left the east bank of the Yellow River, groups of traitors had already rushed to the artillery positions ....

One cannon after another was lifted into the gun position, one by one flowering shells were stuffed into the chamber, and the torches used to light the arquebus were also held tightly by the traitors. Get ready for the battle...

Although there was no gunfire or artillery fire on the battlefield, as the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, the atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more tense.

Just when the traitors on the west bank of the Yellow River were ready to open fire, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which had already rushed to the center of the Yellow River, actually made a move that shocked and desperate all the traitors.

The mortars, which were covered in the bow of the ten ferries, quickly showed their hideous faces to the traitors.

At the same time, the fire fold, which had already sparked, quickly ignited the fire rope that protruded from the tail of the barrel.

Dozens of gunners just crouched in the bow with their ears covered. A series of deafening roars sounded right in the bow of the ship.

Ten flowering shells. Quickly flew out of the chamber under the envelopment of flames. Then, with a whistling sound, he flew towards the rebel artillery position hundreds of paces away.

Because these gunners were all at the request of the veteran Wen Junsheng, they lowered the ancient muzzle of the cannon by an angle. So, the ten flowering shells that whistled down from the sky did not deviate too far from the target by the shelling of the ferry.

Four of the ten flowering shells smashed directly on the rebel artillery positions with a whistling sound.

In the face of this unprecedented shelling, in the face of flowering shells falling from the sky. The traitor gunners had not yet recovered from the shock, and the whistling flowering shells were already exploding around.

As clusters of orange-red fireballs rose into the air on the battlefield, a large number of shell fragments from the explosion of the flowering shells quickly formed an impenetrable steel storm on the battlefield.

These traitor gunners, who didn't even evade it, and still stood in a daze, were like ripe wheat that had been cut to the ground in pieces by this steel storm.

In the blink of an eye, the traitor artillery position with hundreds of gunners filled the air with a strong smell of blood.

Not only that, but hundreds of gunners also lost more than half in an instant.

"The artillery is so heavy, how can it be carried on the ferry......how did the officers and soldiers do it-..."

"Why did the artillery shells of the officers and soldiers fall from the sky, and they are still flowering shells....How can their shells hit so far, could it be that they are using red-coated cannons, red-coated cannons weighing thousands of catties..."

However, on the bloody and murderous artillery positions, there was no other sound to answer them except wailing.

At this moment, mortars, which had shelled twice as fast as ordinary artillery due to the use of fixed ammunition, had already fired a second round of flowering shells at the rebel artillery positions.

Flowering shells, with a shrill whistling sound, appeared above the traitor gunners again in terror and terror.

The traitor gunner, who didn't know how to dodge the explosion of the flowering shell, was like a boat floating on the sea overnight, instantly overwhelmed by a steel storm composed of fireballs and shell fragments, and his life and death were uncertain.

Of course, the Haw Par gunners, who were still hundreds of paces away, did not know the situation of the rebel artillery positions.

All they knew was that they had to fire ten flowering shells at the traitor artillery positions before the musketeers landed, so as to deal a devastating blow to the traitor artillery positions.

Therefore, although there were not many gunners in the traitor artillery position of Nuoda, the flowering shells with death and whistling still continued to explode in the traitor artillery position.

After firing ten rounds of shells in a row, the ten mortar gunners quickly adjusted their muzzles and shifted the target of the shelling to the infantry who were blocking the front of the artillery position.

Even the traitors who acted as gunners were stunned by the roaring shells from the air, not to mention the ordinary infantry, who were rarely seen even with artillery.

Therefore, as soon as the roaring flowering bomb exploded, the quiet rebel position just now became chaotic like a bombing nest.

What's more, he directly dropped the messy weapons in his hands and fled to the rear...

In the beginning, the leaders and officers scattered among the traitors were able to prevent this rout by relying on the murderous prestigiousness.

However, with round after round of flowering bombs, it exploded in the crowd as if it didn't need money. Plus all kinds of severed limbs and severed arms that were blown up, internal organs, like rain, fell on the traitor's side.

How could these traitors, who were left behind in the rear and had hardly experienced any major battles, bear such bloodshed...

As more and more traitors died tragically on the battlefield, the smell of blood in the air grew stronger.

The traitor leader's murderous means have finally lost their effect. (To be continued......)
