Chapter 309: Attack

The days of Stanley's hardship passed quickly, after all, the fruits of victory were in front of us, but it was really uncomfortable not to pluck them. Fortunately, under the constant cursing, the logistics guys still managed to get the wooden boats that needed to cross the river.

The rain on the Cangjiang defense line has hardly stopped in the past few days, which is also the confidence of the nobles' army. This kind of cloudy day can be torturous the most, and now the state of the soldiers of the First Army must have declined greatly. Looking at his side, the sun is hanging high, and the people who shine are warm. While marveling at the magician's magic, I couldn't help but have a hint of contrasting happiness.

Knock, the boat smashed on the water, and a muffled sound sounded.

"Damn, let the snipers, artillerymen prepare. When they come ashore, they will beat me to death!" ”

Beson said viciously.

Obviously, the other side is planning to launch a general attack today, which is fine, otherwise he will be tormented by the rain and go crazy. Now, even the roof of his combat command room has water dripping from time to time. Staying in a damp, cramped, dark environment for a long time drives everyone's hearts crazy.

Immediately after that, a row of magicians slowly urged the spell, and hundreds of wooden boats made a steep sound, stirring up layers of splashes, crossing white lines on the Cangjiang River. It's spectacular.

In the blink of an eye, it crossed the Cangjiang River, which was hundreds of meters wide, and the wooden boat received dozens of shells as soon as it reached the riverbank.

Boom~

The flying dirt gradually covered his body, and with the raindrops the size of beans, the soil instantly diluted and adhered to the soldiers. The noble army soon felt the pain of the First Army.

Bang bang~

The sound of bullets squeezing the air sounded, and the sniper hiding behind the wall fired calmly, the bolt pulling quickly. The crosshair firmly grasped the center of the enemy's eyebrows and sent bullets in.

"Chong, those Cangjiang, the earl has a lot of rewards."

The young general hid behind the stone wall and shouted hard at the soldiers around him, and as soon as the words fell, he bent down and rushed out. When the soldiers saw this, the commander was not afraid of death, and he was still cowardly. Rushing up the hill one after another.

stepped on the air under his feet, and the rain was slippery, and the charging teenager fell to the ground. At the same time, he clearly felt that a bullet had just crossed his position, and through the rain curtain, he could clearly smell the faint smell of gunpowder. I'm scared for a while.

missed, and the sniper was very unwilling. Now he feels that shooting on the battlefield is much more difficult than on the battlefield, not only because of the heavy rain interference. There are also various accidents.

Although there are fluctuations in the psychology, the hands are non-stop. Pull the bolt to accurately feed the bullet into the breech.

Actually, there is no need to aim at all now. The enemies are gathered in dense groups, and as long as they shoot in the general direction, they will basically not miss.

But he was looking for the target he had just had, and if he guessed correctly, it was an officer. He didn't want to let go of that goal.

A quick glance reveals that these soldiers charged without muskets! Holding all the big knives and spears.

According to intelligence, these nobles had already taken care of the production of firearms. Why didn't these soldiers have muskets in their hands?

Beson speculated that they might not have figured out the bullet sealing technique. Traditional muskets are all about exposed gunpowder, preferably wrapped in a thin layer of paper. It can't be used at all on rainy days. So they can only use cold weapons. And the First Army was issued brass bullets early.

This has undoubtedly given Beson renewed confidence, and now that he has the advantage in weapons, he can stop this wave of attacks.

Before he could give the order, a continuous stream of shooting rang out from the defensive line.

The soldiers of the First Army rushed out of the fortifications one after another, pouring bullets one after another.

The aristocratic army was horrified, and many of them thought that the musket could no longer be fired in the rain, and that it would be instantly timid, but when they looked back, the wide river was even more dangerous. Gritting his teeth, he continued to charge upward.

The soldiers of the First Army occupied a large geographical advantage, condescendingly, shooting at the enemy troops who were slowly climbing upwards. But soon, the pleasure brought by this asymmetrical combat made their grievances in the past few days be greatly expressed.

"TMD, it's been a few days since I saw my teeth itching, we were about to die from the rain, but they were basking in the sun over there."

"Hehe, so now give them a taste of the gun."

"Be careful, the enemy hasn't increased his troops yet."

......

Soon the second wave of troops broke through the river, and it was clear that the first line of defense was a little insufficient. There are few hills, and there are not many vantage points to use, so there are not many fortifications built, and correspondingly not many troops are stationed.

But now the situation has been reversed, and if the enemy army is allowed to gain a foothold here, it will be difficult to pull it out, and the entire line of defense may be crumbled.

Bessen hurriedly directed the soldiers to support the front line from the rear.

The corridor was instantly crowded, and it was full of hurried footsteps. Tens of thousands of soldiers marched to the front line in an orderly manner through the corridors.

"Rush, rush! The first one rushed to the top of the mountain, and there were many rewards. ”

At this time, the gentle slope was full of soldiers armed with scimitars, but none of them dared to move. The enemy in the fortifications was too fierce, and some of them couldn't raise their heads when the bullets hit them, and it was difficult to even protect themselves, so they talked about attacking.

"The general will send someone to blow it up, the brothers who are shot by the gun will not be able to stand it."

The adjutant suggested.

"Did you bring explosives?"

"Bring it, there are three packs in total."

"Who dares to go, I will be rewarded for success. When the family died, I took care of it. ”

Thankfully, his men weren't all soft. But the thought of losing three brave soldiers made me a little sad.

"Anyone else is watching. Cover! ”

If the three men rushed straight up, they would surely be killed, and they would have to attract the enemy's attention and vitality from the other direction.

Many of the generals who were held back at the bottom of the mountain thought of this rough, simple, and effective tactic.

Boom, boom~

Intense firelight flickered on the vantage points. It couldn't have been the enemy's artillery, after all, Besson hadn't seen a single piece of artillery come out. And even the First Army did not have such powerful artillery.

It is clear that the enemy blew it up with gunpowder.

Once the fortifications were blown up, recovery was extremely difficult. Especially on this rainy day, the cement can't dry at all. Once lost, it is completely lost.

Besson anxiously looked at the other vantage points, hoping not to be blown up again.

Stanley also saw the battle situation on the front line, and nodded with satisfaction. It seems that the Cangjiang defense line is not as impregnable as imagined.

"Pull it off, the muskets of the First Army are terrible. If I'm not mistaken, their muskets have been firing in the rain for at least an hour. ”

"I don't know when the arsenal will be able to produce this musket. Now the guns they gave me, which were fine a year ago, now seem to have a low rate of fire and difficult maintenance. As a result, we always suffer on the battlefield. ”

Sipri chimed in.

The other two generals ignored it and looked away.
