Chapter 682: Difficult Defense
The machine gunners in the camp, all went into the trenches.
After receiving Zhang Cheng's order, they opened fire, and the Xianbei soldiers in the front row were beaten squarely, and people kept falling.
The bullets of the machine gun, the crazy strafing, the lethality and the range of destruction, are still quite terrifying.
"Shield!"
Tuoba Li said in a slight voice.
Immediately there were soldiers, carrying iron shields from behind, one shield was super heavy, they were three people, carrying a large shield, and advanced in the direction of the camp.
The bullet landed on the iron shield with a "bell" sound, leaving only a bullet mark on it.
Seeing that the machine gun didn't work, Zhu Wei shouted: "Open the gun!" ”
Rumble!
Cannon fire.
More than a dozen shells bombarded the shield.
Those shields could block bullets, but they couldn't block the shells, and after the bombardment was out, the shields were directly overturned, and the Xianbei soldiers who relied on the shields to advance were blown up so that their bodies were not even intact.
"Go on!"
The two Tuoba Liwei brothers didn't dare to get too far ahead.
They hid in the rear army, urging and commanding, wanting to use the advantage of a large number of people to continue to push forward and kill the past, regardless of sacrifice.
The rear army also had a lot of iron shields, and the soldiers carried their shields and continued to step forward to replenish them, resisting the advance of artillery fire with difficulty, which would sacrifice a lot of soldiers, but in the end they still let them advance to the front of the trenches.
The distance between the two sides was approaching, and the soldiers in the camp were not very convenient to shoot and did not dare to open fire.
I am afraid that even my own people will be blown up, and I am also worried that the stray bullets blocked by the shield will catapult and injure my own people.
"The gunner backs, the pikemen step forward, stab!"
Zhang Cheng shouted.
The gunners, immediately exit the trenches.
The pikemen jumped off the trench, and when the enemy approached the edge of the trench, the shields parted, and the Xianbei soldiers behind them came out from behind the shields, but as soon as the shields parted, the pikemen in the trenches stabbed their guns forward.
The Xianbei soldiers who approached the trench were stabbed to death by spears, and blood was immediately sprayed.
After counterattacking like this for a while, seeing that the enemy was still advancing, Zhang Cheng gave the order, abandoned the trench, retreated, and a group of infantry armed with rifles appeared behind the trench and shot at the Xianbei soldiers.
After the gunshots rang out, many Xianbei people fell in the trenches.
The entire trench was quickly filled with corpses.
"Big brother, what should I do?"
Tuoba Lixiong said eagerly: "If this continues, more and more of us will die!" ”
Before they could engage in hand-to-hand combat, they were continuously suppressed by those weapons, and even if they were killed to the edge of the camp, they suffered the most serious losses.
"Shield again!"
Tuoba Liwei refused to give up, and crossed the river with great difficulty, and now retreated back, and when Pan Feng came back to strengthen the defense, it would be even more difficult to fight.
The front row of the Xianbei soldiers was the first to retreat.
Once again, their iron shields were brought forward, and with their shields used for defense, they pushed sideways, stepping through the trenches of corpses, and charging towards the camp.
But at this moment, several mortar shells were fired at the rear of the camp.
The parabola of the shells, passing over the soldiers defending the camp, fell into the middle of the Xianbei Chinese army.
Rumble!
The bombs exploded, and the flames flew everywhere.
The Xianbei soldiers were blown up, and the soldiers behind couldn't keep up with the shield hand.
The shieldmen crossed the trenches and approached the camp, but only a thousand men were left behind, and the rest of the soldiers were intercepted by mortar shells, either killed or blown backwards.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng led his troops out and rushed towards those shield soldiers.
The shield was made of iron, so it was very heavy, and although the three of them carried a shield together, it was now easily knocked over when it was hit, and it also overwhelmed the Xianbei soldiers who were carrying the shield.
As soon as the shield fell, the pikemen stepped forward.
The tip of the spear stabbed forward, and the Xianbei man who was close to him fell in a pool of blood.
Tuoba Liwei saw this, he was distressed, gritted his teeth, and when he was thinking about whether to retreat, Pan Feng finally led his troops back at this time.
"Kill!"
Pan Feng shouted.
"The general is back!"
Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.
Pan Feng came back, and they launched a direct counterattack, the most comprehensive counterattack.
"Retreat!"
Tuobali shouted helplessly.
At this point, the opportunity has been lost.
Tuoba Lixiong had no choice but to echo in a loud voice: "All retreat, quickly retreat!" ”
The Xianbei people retreated in a hurry and walked very fast, but did not directly cross the river to the north, but remained on the south bank of the Yellow River, stationed on the south bank, and continued to confront Pan Feng and them.
Pan Feng did not chase after him, and when he returned to the camp, he saw that the camp was still there, and the grain, grass, firearms, etc., were not lost, so he could finally rest assured.
"General, we almost fell for it!"
Zhang Cheng rejoiced.
I almost missed it.
Pan Feng said: "Continue to defend, don't relax, wait for the lord to arrive!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
North Shore.
Sima Yi got the news of Tuoba Liwei and sighed: "Failed! ”
actually failed in the hands of Pan Xiong, he felt that the Xianbei people were still too weak, but Yang Zhao's firearms were too strong, of course, failure was good, he didn't think that he could really succeed in breaking into the Hetao.
Even if he could get in, as soon as Yang Zhao came, he would still be driven away.
Sima Yi has his own plans.
"Zhongda, what should we do?"
Na Kazuya asked worriedly when she heard that she had failed.
Sima Yi thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it, what else can be done." ”
He made a gesture of trying to figure it out.
Then he made another expression, I couldn't think of what I could do, it seemed that the soldiers on the south bank were a little difficult, which made Na and Ya nervous.
——
Yang Zhao continued north.
Not long after leaving, he received news from the shadows, Pan Feng and them, resisted a round of attacks by the Xianbei people, and then were stalemate by the Xianbei people on the south bank.
Zhuge Liang said: "General Pan still has a certain ability, plus there are still those firearms, our combat power is stronger than the Xianbei people, and the previous loss must be the means of which master." ”
Guo Jia agreed: "It shouldn't be difficult to hold the south bank of the Yellow River, but at the same time as we march, before we join General Pan, we can do something to wipe out the Xianbei people who crossed the river." ”
Yang Zhao asked, "What is Feng Xiao going to do?" ”
Guo Jia thought about it seriously and said: "Two methods, the first is to arrange a group of people in advance, secretly cross the river, sneak to the north bank, cut off the retreat of the Xianbei people, and kill the Xianbei people who stayed on the north bank. ”
Sima Yi is very deeply hidden, and the guards around him are very strict, and it is true that even the shadow is still unclear, who that master is.
Hearing this, Yang Zhao nodded slightly.
"The second method, let's not expose it immediately, pass the order, let General Pan and them take the initiative to counterattack, and then we will suddenly kill, surround the Xianbei people who crossed the river, and catch them off guard."
Guo Jia continued: "If the Xianbei people who crossed the river can retreat, we can cut off the back road, we can kill them, if they can't retreat, only the whole army will be destroyed." ”
