Chapter 697: Fierce Battle
After dawn.
In the Xianbei army, the order to attack was heard.
Yang Zhao and the others immediately looked out in the trench, only to see the Xianbei people, and sure enough, they launched an attack at this time, directly advanced over, and attacked the upper ground.
"My lord, here we go again."
Xu Chu frowned and said.
Dian Wei rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "The Xianbei people have come to die again." ”
Yang Zhao said: "This time, it is not necessarily that they are here to send them to death, they should be able to effectively attack the high ground, pass the order down, increase vigilance, strengthen defense, and defend the east and west sides, Zhongkang and Evil come together." ”
"Good!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu said in unison at the same time.
As soon as Yang Zhao finished speaking, there was a burst of cannon fire below the high ground.
A cannonball, hit fiercely.
They immediately lowered themselves and ducked into the trenches, and the shells fell on the edge of the trenches, and so many shells came up together that even the high ground shook.
Zhuge Liang quietly raised his head and looked out from the trench.
"The Xianbei people's attack plan, the same as yesterday's, is first covered by artillery, followed by infantry advances, and they will really carry iron shields to kill."
Yang Zhao also glanced outside and said: "The iron shield is bulky, even if several people carry it up, the mobility is not great, and the speed is not destined to be too fast, when they are almost close, we will do it." ”
Hearing the order, the soldiers did not immediately fight back.
Under the pressure of those iron bullets, they had no chance to fight back, so they waited in the trenches.
When they were almost done, the sound of artillery stopped, and they saw those Xianbei people carrying iron shields advancing to within a hundred paces.
"Lord, there is a situation!"
Zhuge Liang said suddenly.
Yang Zhao and the others all saw that behind the iron shields of those Xianbei people, the barrels of guns suddenly stretched out.
The muzzle of the gun, aimed at the trench.
"Keep your head down!"
Seeing this, Yang Zhao shouted.
Bang!
As soon as this cry fell, those Xianbei people pulled the trigger and fired.
The muzzle of the flintlock pistol, there is a flash of fire, and the bullets come over, because the distance is relatively far, about 100 paces, which is beyond the effective range, but the bullets are more numerous, and the effect is still there.
More than a dozen soldiers around Yang Zhao were shot dead on the spot.
Those Xianbei people, after firing a round of bullets, immediately loaded their ammunition and prepared for the next round of shooting.
"Lord, it's time to drop the stone!"
When Zhuge Liang saw this, he immediately said: "The enemy is also attacking with muskets, and their iron shields must be broken first." ”
Yang Zhao said loudly in agreement: "Drop the stone!" ”
Rumble......
The stone rolled down the high ground with a loud sound.
On the high slopes on the north and south sides, there are Xianbei people killing up at the same time, but at the same time, there are stones rolling down.
Bang!
Soon, the stone slammed into the heavy iron shield.
Those Xianbei soldiers carrying shields were already a little struggling, and now they were about to be hit by stones, and their center of gravity was suddenly unstable, plus the position they were standing, they were still on the slope, and they suddenly fell backwards.
The shield fell straight down.
The Xianbei soldiers who hid behind their shields, loaded their ammunition, and wanted to shoot, were crushed by the stones that crashed down before the ammunition was compacted.
The stone continued to roll down, and the soldiers were knocked down, and the screams echoed.
"Shoot!"
Yang Zhao shouted.
Soldiers armed with rifles, lying on their stomachs in the trenches, shoot downward.
The soldiers, who lost the cover of their shields, were shot quite a bit.
The soldiers who could still carry their shields continued to push upwards, but stones continued to fall down, and those shields were smashed piece by piece.
When the shield falls, the Xianbei people will be bulleted.
However, there were also some Xianbei soldiers who picked up the fallen shields, blocked the bullets, and continued to attack upwards.
"Dynamite!"
Yang Zhao shouted.
Immediately there were soldiers, lit the explosives and threw them out.
The explosives rolled under the shields and exploded, blowing the iron shields flying.
There are also many people who have been blown up.
However, the Xianbei people still did not give up, and continued to attack to rush forward.
They attacked and counterattacked, all of them were not afraid of death, and they seemed to have been affected by Yang Zhao's desire to destroy their Xianbei, and now they just wanted to kill Yang Zhao and avenge Xianbei.
"Kill!"
All the Xianbei soldiers rushed with murderous intent.
Sima Yi was still below, constantly commanding and dispatching.
Yang Zhao and the others fell into the situation of attacking from the north and south, and several times saw those Xianbei people, rushed into the range of thirty steps, and then raised their muskets to shoot, but they were all repulsed.
Throwing back with wood and stones, but really couldn't retreat, they threw explosives and went out to bomb, blew people over, and then shot again.
As the enemy's attacks became more and more ferocious, the commands of Yang Zhao and Zhuge Liang became busier and busier, and they separated, one south and one north, dispatching the counterattacks and defenses of the soldiers.
Because the Xianbei people had muskets, and soldiers were killed in the trenches.
However, the number of Xianbei soldiers killed was more, Yang Zhao and they were condescending, occupying the most favorable conditions, although there were not many people, they could fight, counterattack at a high place, and press the enemy to fight.
"General Xu, be careful!"
Zhuge Liang suddenly shouted.
Xu Chu was defending in the east, and when he looked up at this time, he happened to see a group of soldiers, bypassing the north and south sides, climbing to the east, raising their shields and killing them from the east to the trenches.
"Give me death!"
Xu Chu shouted, strode forward, and kicked the enemy's shield with one kick.
Bang!
The shield was kicked down and pressed against the soldiers.
"Kill them!"
Xu Chu led the guards, lifted the ring-headed knife in his hand, and killed the soldiers who climbed to the east.
The knife in his hand fell, and several Xianbei soldiers who were close to him spilled blood on the spot.
On the west side of the trench, Dian Wei faced a similar situation, seeing that the enemy was close to him, his iron halberd swung and fell on the iron shield, making a loud "bell" sound.
The enemy who carried the shield was directly knocked away.
Dian Wei's terrifying strength burst out like this, first smashing into it, knocking down those shields, waving the iron halberd, and the Xianbei soldiers who approached him couldn't get up again.
"Kill the general!"
The soldiers behind Dian Wei rushed out first and slashed into it.
"General Dian, General Xu, bring back the enemy's shield!"
Zhuge Liang saw that he was almost killed, so he shouted and said.
"It's coming!"
Dian Wei's iron halberds each picked up a shield and smashed directly on the trench.
Xu Chu listened, lifted the shield casually, killed the enemy, and then returned to the trench and asked, "Kong Ming, what is the use of these shields?" ”
"It'll be useful later."
Zhuge Liang looked at the east and west respectively, and shouted: "Quickly put up the shield!" ”
At this time, the Xianbei people came up from the east and west again, and shot directly with muskets as soon as they came.
Xu Chu and the others understood what the iron shield could do, and as soon as they raised the shield, they heard the enemy's musket fire, and the bullet "bell" was blocked by the shield and ejected.
