Chapter 1245 Poison Thunder

Shangguan Xiu led the gendarmerie and continued to break through to the depths of the Ningnan Army's position.

The first line of the Ningnan Army's position was not only one trench, but was composed of many trenches more than a mile deep, and the trenches and earthen walls in the position were intertwined and connected to each other.

Midnight. The Feng Army had advanced more than 300 meters away from the position of the Ningnan Army. The Ningnan army was forced to retreat again and again. By the time it was dawn, the sky was bright, and the first line of positions garrisoned by the Eighth Army of the Ningnan Army had all fallen and been occupied by the Feng Army.

The Ningnan Army had no choice but to turn the artillery fire, aim the artillery at its first line of defense, and bombard the incoming Feng Army.

If the Ningnan Army can achieve a covered artillery bombardment with sufficient ammunition, then it can indeed cause huge damage to the Feng Army that invades.

But now, the ammunition of the Ningnan Army is already insufficient, and after a morning of artillery attack, the ammunition of the Ningnan Army is even more empty, and at this moment, the Ningnan Army has thousands of artillery pieces, but there are not many that can still shoot shells.

Such sporadic shelling could no longer pose much of a threat to the Wind Army.

In the morning, the offensive of the Feng army slowed down, and the soldiers buried pots and cooked in the positions of the Ningnan army, recuperated their strength, and waited for the artillery from the rear to be delivered. Halfway through the hour, another round of onslaught by the Wind Army began.

In this attack, the Feng Army advanced hundreds of artillery pieces into the positions of the Ningnan Army and launched a ferocious artillery bombardment of the artillery positions located in the second line of defense of the Ningnan Army.

The Ningnan Army also wanted to launch an artillery confrontation with the Feng Army again, but under the premise of insufficient ammunition, the Ningnan Army finally gave up the artillery to return fire, and the artillerymen pushed the artillery and hastily withdrew from the artillery position.

In the process of retreating, from time to time, the artillery of the Ningnan Army was hit by the shells of the Feng Army, and after all the artillery of the Ningnan Army was withdrawn, there were hundreds of damaged artillery pieces left at the scene.

Seeing that their own artillery had successfully destroyed the artillery positions of the Ningnan Army, this greatly boosted the morale of the Feng Army.

Before attacking the second line of defense of the Ningnan Army, Sui Tangjing also deliberately sent a scout battalion to clear the 'mines' between the first line of defense and the second line of defense.

At the beginning, the Fifth Army suffered a great loss from the Ningnan people here, resulting in the annihilation of all the soldiers of a corps, and later even the army commander Wen Zhong was beheaded.

The bloody lessons of the past are still vivid, and Sui Tangjing will certainly not make such a mistake again.

Under the firepower of the Ningnan Army, the scout battalion dug out the shells buried between the two lines of defense one after another, stacked them together one by one, and detonated them in a concentrated manner.

After the scout battalion cleared the underground ambush, the second round of the Wind Army's attack officially began. With the support of the rear artillery, the advance of the Feng Army did not encounter much resistance, or rather, the Ningnan Army deliberately let the Feng Army enter its own defense line.

In a positional battle with a clear distinction between the enemy and us, the Feng Army had strong artillery support, but the artillery of the Ningnan Army was collectively dumb due to insufficient ammunition, and such a fight was too much for the Ningnan Army.

Only by putting the Feng Army into the position of the Ningnan Army and fighting a melee battle where the enemy and us are mixed together, can the artillery of the Feng Army not dare to fire rashly, and the gap in firepower between the two sides can be greatly narrowed.

I have to say that the commanders of the Ningnan Army, one of them is counted as one, and none of them are straw bales, all of them are proficient in tactics and battle-hardened people.

On the battlefield, they can clearly understand where the enemy's strengths are and where their own weaknesses are, and can make effective changes in a very short period of time, to offset the enemy's strengths to the greatest extent, so as to narrow the gap between the two sides.

It was not easy to fight against the Ningnan army, fighting wits and courage, and working hard. The Feng Army and the Ningnan Army also basically represent the most advanced tactics and tactics of this era.

In the second line of defense of the Ningnan Army, the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army started a positional melee again.

Every trench advanced by the Wind Army was washed out with the blood of soldiers on both sides. The fierce fighting between the two sides lasted for a whole day, and it was not until it was dark that the battle between the two sides turned from strong to weak.

After two days of fierce fighting, the soldiers on both sides have been exhausted, and the next thing to fight is toughness, fighting spirit and willpower.

And in this regard, the Feng Army is indeed stronger than the Ningnan Army. In the second half of the night, the third round of the onslaught of the Wind Army began.

In this attack, the Feng Army directly knocked the Ningnan Army out of the second line of defense, forcing the remnants of the Ningnan Army to retreat to the third line of defense, which was also the last line of defense of the Ningnan Army.

Taking advantage of the collapse of the morale of the Ningnan army, Sui Tangjing ordered his own side to attack the enemy's third line of defense with all their might.

Artillery Bombardment! The Wind Army attacked before a large-scale artillery bombardment. Hundreds of Fengjun artillery directly occupied the artillery position of the Ningnan Army, but the muzzle of the cannon was not rushing out, but towards the inside of the defense line.

The artillery of the Wind Army fought for most of the night, and it was overwhelmed, and more than 30 guns exploded.

It was dawn, and the attack of the Wind Army infantry began. Crowds of Wind Army soldiers poured out of the trenches of the second line of defense and rushed straight to the third line of defense on the opposite side.

The roar of artillery and the firing of muskets and muskets of the two armies have already resounded in a ball. The Ningnan Army, which had retreated to the third line of defense, had no way to retreat, so it really put all its firepower into this battle.

What the current casualties of the Fourth Army were, Shangguan Xiu, who took the lead in the front, did not know, but he knew that the casualties of the gendarmerie had reached 5,000.

Of the 20,000 gendarmes he commanded, only 15,000 remained. Of course, the fact that the gendarmerie suffered so many casualties was also directly related to the fact that they acted as a vanguard with Shangguanxiu.

It was another whole day of fierce fighting, the Feng army attacked the position of the Ningnan army several times, and was counterattacked by the Ningnan army several times, and when it was dark, the wind army finally gained a firm foothold in the third line of defense of the Ningnan army, and at the same time, the Ningnan Eighth Army was also forced to a dead end.

After three days of fighting, Shangguan Xiu had more than a dozen wounds on his body, which showed the fierceness of the fighting between the two sides. Late at night, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei helped Shangguan Xiu treat his wounds.

Five wounds, two of which were gunshot wounds and three were blast wounds. Xiao Jue used a dagger to dig out a spirit projectile on Shangguan Xiu's shoulder and lower abdomen, while Wu Yufei took off three pieces of shrapnel from his leg and arm.

There is quenching poison on the fragments of spirit bullets and cannonballs, and the wounds are surrounded by black and green, fortunately, Shangguan Xiu's physique is not poisonous, and several poisonous wounds are not fatal to him, but Shangguan Xiu still feels dizzy, his internal organs are churning, and he has a feeling of vomiting from his stomach.

Seeing that his face was a little pale, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, don't participate in the war tonight, take a good rest!" Even if Shangguan Xiu's physique is different from ordinary people, it is not so depleted.

Shangguan Xiu looked at the two worried, smiled indifferently, and asked, "How are your two injuries?"

"It's out of the way. Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei also have hanging colors, and the wounds on their bodies don't have to be much less than Shangguan Xiu, fortunately, both of them are dark cultivators, and the dark aura has the effect of healing wounds, although they have many wounds, they can still grit their teeth and continue to persevere.

Shangguan Xiu sighed lightly and asked again, "Should he be with Ziyin?"

"He was slightly injured, but Ziyin was seriously injured and has been sent back to Massala for treatment. ”

Shangguan Xiu frowned, with the temperament of Heziyin who was desperate for Saburo, he was slightly injured and could not get out of the line of fire, and he could be sent to the rear for treatment, which means that the injury must be very serious.

Xiao Jue cleared his throat and said, "Ziyin was blown through his left chest, and the medical officer said that fortunately, he didn't hurt his heart and was saved." ”

So serious. Shangguan Xiu lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said to Xiao Jue: "Find someone to go back to Masala City, whether Ziyin is awake or unconscious, tell him that as long as he can persist in surviving, after the war, I will award him a first-class gold medal!"

When Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei heard this, they were almost amused. Brother Xiu is too good at grasping people's weaknesses, he should be with Ziyin, he dreams of making meritorious contributions, making great contributions, getting ahead, and being awarded a first-class gold medal general, he can count it with five fingers, Brother Xiu asked people to pass on such words to Ziyin, even if Ziyin steps into the ghost gate with both feet, it is estimated that he can jump and run back alive.

"What about the injury?"

"The skin on the head was broken, and the arm was shot, but nothing happened. ”

Shangguan Xiu didn't ask any more questions, put on his military uniform, and stood up. But as soon as he stood up, he felt the world spinning, and hurriedly reached out to hold on to the wall of the trench to stabilize his crumbling body.

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei were startled, and hurriedly supported Shangguan Xiu, and asked urgently, "Brother Xiu, how are you?"

"It may be that the residual poison in the body has not been cleared out, so I will rest for a while. Shangguan Xiu took two breaths, sat down slowly, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes.

In just a few moments, his breathing had become even and long, and black beads of sweat slowly drained down the pores around his body.

Shangguan Xiu had slept for less than two quarters of an hour when he heard the sound of killing in front of him, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was like bursting beans.

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei sighed secretly, and the two of them subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xiu, and saw that he was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Yufei took out a sweat towel and carefully wiped off the black beads of sweat on Shangguan Xiu's face.

This time, the counterattack of the Ningnan Army was extraordinary, not from the first line, but from the third line.

The remnants of the Eighth Army of the Ningnan Army counterattacked from the front of the Feng Army, the Tenth Army of Ningnan counterattacked from the north side of the Wind Army, and the sixteenth Army of Ningnan attacked from the south side of the Wind Army.

The 10th Army Corps and the 16th Army Corps were temporarily reinforced by Xin Jiyao because of the tight war on the side of the Eighth Army Corps.

The counterattack of the three legions, especially the addition of the two new forces of the Tenth and Sixteenth Legions, caused great pressure on the Wind Army.

In the next battle, the Wind Army can only be on passive defense.

The wounded soldiers fighting in front were carried off the battlefield in waves, and many of the wounded soldiers were supporting each other, staggering and vomiting.

Xiao Jue frowned, and when a wounded soldier walked past him, he raised his hand to grab his clothes and asked, "What's going on?"

The wounded soldier's eyes were red, his face was pale, and he said weakly: "Poisonous smoke, Ningnan people...... The stone thunder of the people of Ningnan is filled with poisonous smoke......"

Xiao Jue's face was at a loss, he didn't know what it meant to be filled with poisonous smoke in the stone mine, and how could the poisonous smoke be loaded into the stone mine?

Before he could continue to ask, Shangguan Xiu, who was sleeping, had already stood up at some point, he walked up to the wounded soldier, got close to his body, sniffed it carefully, and after a while, he said, "It's oleander." ”

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, smiled, smiled bitterly, he sighed lightly, and said: "The people of Ningnan dried and ground oleanders, mixed them with phosphorus powder, and put them in the stone mines. After the stone mine explodes, the phosphorus powder burns, igniting the oleander powder, which produces toxic smoke. ”

Oleander is a poisonous weed, after burning, the poisonous smoke produced is not fatal to people, but the damage to the human body is not small, at least it can temporarily lose people's ability to fight.

Shangguan Xiu's sigh was to sigh that the people of Ningnan were really thinking about how to fight, and this kind of stone thunder that can produce poisonous smoke is really indebted to the people of Ningnan to think of it.

It is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that the people of Ningnan were in a hurry, and a secret weapon like this to press the bottom of the box, the people of Ningnan would definitely be reluctant to use it on the battlefield so quickly.
