Chapter 602: Strafing
"My lord, the enemy has appeared."
Zhang Wei noticed the situation on the north shore and shouted.
Liu Bei also looked to the north bank, only to see Yang Zhao's subordinates leading troops to defend in front of their pontoon bridge, and asked worriedly: "Military advisor, what should I do?" ”
Now, it can't be stopped, Pang Tong said: "Continue to cross the river, let the front army raise their shields, kill the shore, and continue to follow behind, and at the same time throw explosives at the same time, suppress Yang Zhao's subordinates, and cover the crossing of the river." ”
Hearing Pang Tong's order, the soldiers in the army continued to move.
The soldiers who crossed the river walked across the pontoon bridge one after another.
The soldiers who controlled the trebuchet had prepared everything, and before Zhong Xuan's shells came, the trebuchet of the Shu army had already started, throwing the explosives far away and bursting on the opposite bank.
Smoke and fires were everywhere.
However, the distance that the trebuchet can throw will not be very far, and the explosives will just fall on the shore and explode, Zhuge Liang and they will retreat and be able to dodge everything.
"Fight back!"
Zhuge Liang ordered.
The soldiers who controlled the mortar, adjusted the angle, put the shell into the barrel, the shell was quickly shot out, crossed the Weishui River, fell in the Shu army and exploded, "boom", very spectacular.
Patches of Shu soldiers were overturned by the explosion of mortar artillery.
There was chaos in the army, but Fa Zheng quickly commanded the soldiers, put them together, and then retreated to the rear and side, avoiding mortar fire.
They were about to retreat when the second row of shells came again.
The shell exploded again, and the power was amazing, and the scene of the explosion was also shocking.
They had to retreat again and continue to avoid the range of mortars.
"The firearms in Yang Zhaojun's army have really changed a batch, and now they are stronger."
Liu Bei said in shock: "Our trebuchets and explosives are not opponents at all, what should we do with the military division?" ”
Just as he finished speaking, a mortar shell hit the trebuchet.
There were also a lot of explosives placed near the trebuchet, which were ignited by the explosion, and the scene was not known to be spectacular.
Pang Tong's eyes were deep, he stared at the front tightly, and said decisively: "You can only keep attacking the past, as long as the distance is shortened, the enemy's firearms will lose their effect, continue to cross the river, don't stop." ”
They crossed the river under pressure, and the soldiers on the pontoon, raising their shields, pushed forward, and soon came to land.
"Almost!"
Seeing this, Zhong Xuan was not only not nervous, but also said confidently: "We can let Liu Bei's people see the power of the heavy machine gun." ”
Yang Zhao arranged for three heavy machine guns to come to Guanzhong, one of which was sent to Dasanguan, and the other two were on Zhong Xuan's side.
The machine gunner quickly got ready, heard the command, pulled the trigger.
Da Da Da ......
The continuous sound of gunfire echoed, and the bullets swept towards the Shu soldiers.
The shield held by the Shu soldiers in the front row was pierced and knocked out on the spot, the soldiers holding the shields had just fallen, and the Shu soldiers in the back row were beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot, and they also fell in pieces.
When one chain was finished, they switched to another and kept shooting.
The bullets were denser than raindrops, penetrating the bodies of the Shu soldiers one by one.
The corpses, piled up on the shore.
There was also a large pile.
Some of the corpses fell into the Weishui and were washed away by the river.
The blood that flowed out was about to dye Weishui red.
The soldiers of the Shu army who followed behind, seeing that the ones in front were constantly being shot, panicked directly, and stopped and did not dare to cross the river again.
But further back, I don't know what happened in front, and I got an order, so I can only keep squeezing forward, and the soldiers of the Shu army on the pontoon bridge are soon crowded together, unable to advance or retreat, and many people are squeezed into the river.
It's winter, and although the river is not rising, it is very cold.
The soldier who fell into the water, even if he was not washed away, was shivering with cold, lost half his life in an instant, trembled and got up again, and no longer had the ability to fight.
Bullets from machine guns, and they go on.
As long as they walked into the firing range, those Shu soldiers fell one after another.
The situation of continuous crowding in the back was finally alleviated at this time, and those in front did not dare to move forward, and those who were within the range were almost shot, and someone shouted nervously: "Retreat!" ”
The soldiers on the pontoon bridge began to retreat, heading back to the south bank.
"Don't retreat, keep going!"
Liu Bei saw them retreating and urged to pass the pontoon bridge.
Pang Tong finally saw something, frowned, and said: "It should be some terrible weapon in front to prevent them from crossing the river, but I am afraid that Yang Zhao's army will have some more special weapons, so let's retreat first." ”
He saw the situation in the river.
The corpses of the soldiers continued to fall, and they looked a little scary.
Liu Bei felt that it made sense, so he asked people to retreat, and when the soldiers on the pontoon bridge all returned to the shore, he quickly asked them what was wrong?
The soldiers who returned did not know how to describe what they saw.
In the face of Liu Bei's inquiry, they couldn't say anything, they only knew that they were shocked, they had no concept of machine guns at all, and they couldn't see what it was because of the distance.
Although they couldn't ask anything, Liu Bei could be sure that Yang Zhao did have a very special weapon in his hand.
The lethality is still very strong, so that they can beat their own people, and they don't even dare to cross the river.
Liu Bei and the others looked at the opposite bank, only to see that Yang Zhao's subordinates on the other side were still stationed on the shore and guarding the pontoon bridge.
Inside the Weishui, there are still some corpses, slowly floating downstream.
As if to tell how terrifying the blow of those weapons was just now.
"Strategist, what should we do?"
Liu Bei asked worriedly.
If they can't break through, they will fail, and then they will have to meet Yang Zhao's crazy revenge.
Knowing that Yang Zhao's weapon was so fierce, he shouldn't have agreed to Lu Su, and when the time came, he would use his identity as a senior brother to chat with Yang Zhao and pull a relationship, maybe he could avoid a war, and the two sides would share the world equally.
Now that he sent troops to fight, he regretted it.
It's careless!
This should not be done.
Fa Zheng sighed: "Maybe Shi Yuan's idea at the beginning was right, we should cross the Wugong Water first, and then cross the Weishui, and attack Yixian County through this route, maybe we can still succeed!" Yang Zhao's people had long expected that we would cross Weishui directly, so they led troops to defend it. ”
Zhang Wei agreed: "Lord, there is this possibility, why don't we cross the martial arts water?" ”
Pang Tong shook his head and said: "I guess it's not that simple, if Yang Zhao's people are guarded on both sides, what about us?" ”
Fazheng: "......"
If both sides are defended, they can't fight.
"Strategist, how's it going?"
Liu Bei asked with a frown.
I don't want to be beaten back by Zhuge Liang as soon as I get out of the valley.
There are some things that you can't turn back, and there is no turning back when you open the bow, so you can only continue to do it.
