Chapter 1369: Han Banner World (Fifty-Nine) Destroy with Overwhelming Force

The red iron bullets with unparalleled power easily crossed the Yingshui River. Sun Haifeng was horrified to see that the embankment defense fortress they had spent so much effort to build was easily torn apart like a piece of paper. The buildings made of blue bricks and cement were torn apart with a loud bang, and pieces of debris were flying in the air. He even saw several soldiers in the fortress dancing in the sky, and then fell on the beach under the embankment with their hands and feet. The blood instantly dyed the white sand into a dazzling red.

The iron bullet rolled and jumped on the battlefield, destroying the obstacles that blocked him along the way and igniting everything that could be ignited. The originally orderly defensive position was in chaos. The soldiers ran around and tried their best to avoid the sickle of the god of death, but this round thing had no rules at all. It was rolling on one side the last moment, and the next moment, a small stone could make it fly into the air, change direction, and continue his Pig-Pig Island-Novel... destruction.

Sun Haifeng's eyes were wide open, watching an iron ball rolling towards him, slower and slower. Finally, the killer who turned from red to black stopped less than five meters in front of him and there was no sound. All around him, all the soldiers looked at this monster with fear, their hands and feet trembling, and they didn't know where they were.

Sun Haifeng looked back, and in this short period of time, the floating bridge that the Han army was building in the river advanced another ten meters forward and had crossed the center line of the Yingshui River.

"Fight back, fight back! Sink their pontoon bridge!" Sun Haifeng, who had come to his senses, waved his saber and forced the distraught soldiers to return to their posts. However, the previous round of bombardment had destroyed many crossbows and stone cannons. Although they could barely fire again, the density was much lower than before, and the accuracy was even worse. Many soldiers from Yingchuan County were shaking. Some even injured their insteps while loading stone bombs onto catapults.

The air once again rang with a life-destroying scream. This time, no one hesitated or waited. The soldiers shouted wildly and ran back. What was coming from the other side was simply beyond human power. No matter how Sun Haifeng shouted, he could not get the soldiers back to their posts.

The second round of bombardment shattered a section of the defense line on the opposite bank, which was about 100 meters long. Ye Feng held the telescope he had just obtained from Gao Yuan. Observing the situation on the opposite side, this telescope is really a good thing. Although it is so far away, what can be seen is as if it is in front of you. Ye Feng can even observe the distraught expression on the faces of the soldiers of Yingchuan County on the opposite bank.

"Good fight. Tell the artillery camp to change the shotgun shells, kill the enemy soldiers, and clear the obstacles for the infantry to land." Putting down the telescope, Ye Feng turned around and said to the messenger beside him.

The messenger turned around. Facing the direction of the artillery camp, he waved the two small flags in his hands, one red and one white.

Sun Haifeng tried his best and finally gathered hundreds of soldiers and rushed to the gap that was blown up by the opposite bank.

On this section of the defense line, they no longer have long-range weapons. They can only hold bows and arrows and passively wait for the enemy to build a pontoon bridge. Stepping onto the shore, some of the remaining crossbows and stone cannons on both sides were fired weakly. The accuracy was very poor. In addition to creating huge waves in the river, it almost did not cause any damage to the enemy.

When their infantrymen stepped onto the shore, he led the crowd to the beach and fought with the enemy. In this way, their most powerful weapons would not be able to play a role. Sun Haifeng thought to himself, holding the big knife tightly in his hand, his teeth clenched, the embankment defense was already in pieces, but this was not a victory in battle, nor was there a problem with his command ability, but the weapons of the Han army, which he could not resist at all.

But we are not without opportunities, and the final foothold is still in the fight between people.

Sun Haifeng watched the floating bridge extend to the shore. This time he finally saw clearly that there was an iron ring buckle on the four corners of the rectangular water tanks. The Han army inserted long iron rods from the ring buckle and poked them into the bottom of the riverbed. The soldiers on it used sledgehammers to knock them so that the water tanks could stand firmly on the river. In order to reinforce them, the Han army even threw down one anchor after another to help stabilize the floating bridge.

The soldiers on the other side have stepped onto the floating bridge. The Han soldiers, who were fully armored and even had protective masks on their faces, shouted and rushed towards this side along more than ten floating bridges. Because of the masks, their shouting voices were a little muffled. The floating bridge swayed left and right because of these soldiers stepping on it, and the draft was greatly deepened, but this did not prevent the opponent from charging towards this side at a very fast speed.

In the end, it still depends on people to resolve the battle! Sun Haifeng took a breath. This was what he was least afraid of. As a famous general in Yingchuan County, hand-to-hand combat was his forte. The scars on his body were the glory and medals of his years of charging into battle.

The strange scream sounded again in the air. Sun Haifeng's heart sank. He looked up at the sky. That damn thing came again. One iron ball after another flew over their heads. Sun Haifeng felt relieved, thinking that he had hit them too hard. These things would not turn in the air. But before he could think of this, the iron balls suddenly exploded above their heads, and a whistling sound rang in his ears.

Sun Haifeng saw that the soldiers he had finally gathered fell to the ground like wheat. In the blink of an eye, the area was almost cleared.

Sun Haifeng stared at it blankly, feeling that all his strength had disappeared from his body in an instant. He felt that his breathing was not smooth, and a hissing sound came from his throat. He lowered his head and saw that his armor was inlaid with several pieces of iron. He reached out to pull it off, but found that the sharp iron piece was firmly embedded in his armor. There was a ticking sound, and blood fell on his armor like raindrops. He suddenly felt pain. , he stretched out his hand and touched his throat. There was a piece of iron there. He pulled it out hard, and blood spurted out with the pulled out piece of iron. Sun Haifeng fell on his back, and the big knife in his hand hit him hard. On the ground, his eyes were wide open and he was dead.

It’s not a crime of war! The heroic general of Yingchuan County was still thinking about this sentence in his last thoughts. It was not his fault. This was simply irresistible.

The Han soldiers shouted and stepped onto the beach. Teams quickly dispersed, spreading their occupied areas along the huge gap to both sides of the bank. On the embankment, the soldiers of Yingchuan County had already lost their fighting spirit, as if They were driven around like sheep by the Han soldiers.

On the city tower of Yingchuan County, Gongsun Zhi witnessed the 5,000 defensive troops he deployed on the embankment being defeated in an instant, without causing any difficulties to the Han army. He even suspected that his opponent had defeated him on the embankment. Where is the defense? Are there any casualties?

What kind of weapon is that? Why can we still fight across such a wide river? It can still have such power. Even the trebuchet with the longest range in Yingchuan County cannot hit this far. Seeing the red iron bullets destroying the defensive fortresses one after another as easily as eating and drinking, Gongsun Zhi's originally full confidence suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"General Gongsun, can you open the city gate?" A deputy general next to him turned pale. At this time, below the city, a group of about a thousand Yingchuan County soldiers who had retreated from the river embankment were shouting for the door to be opened, but Behind them, Han soldiers were coming one after another. If the city gate was opened to let them in, they might even be let in too.

"Can't open, let them go around the city." Gongsun Zhi hardened his heart.

Hearing the shouts from the city, the Yingchuan County soldiers below howled desperately, and some fled to both sides. In order to run faster, they threw away their weapons and even took off their armor as they ran. . But the other part burst out with strong fighting spirit in despair, and turned around to kill the chasing Han army.

On the top of the city tower, Gongsun Zhi watched his soldiers being chopped down to the ground one by one by the Han army. He closed his eyes in pain.

Ye Feng stepped onto the pontoon bridge with satisfaction and captured the opponent's embankment defensive position. It only took less than an hour for thousands of enemy troops to disappear. As expected, equipment comes first. Ye Feng knew that his army would cost the national treasury. How many taels of silver? This is an army built entirely of silver, and its equipment is much better than that of the Young Guards.

When he set foot on the beach, his soldiers had already wiped out the remaining enemies. The engineer battalion then crossed the river. Their task was to demolish the houses between the embankment and Yingchuan County to make way for the army. Attack and create an open field. These people are experts in this field. How can they work quickly and economically? Under Ye Feng's gaze, they quickly rushed forward. Wherever they passed, the simple and simple The houses were instantly reduced to pieces and then crushed flat.

Attacking Yingchuan County is much more difficult than building embankments. At least Ye Feng knows that the opponents are also equipped with gunpowder weapons. They also have grenades, which are filled with explosives in clay pots, although they are not as good as those of the Han army. Grenades, but they kill people no slower than the grenades equipped by the Han army. Their opponents do not have their own heavy artillery, but they make explosives into explosive packets, tie them up, and throw them with trebuchets, which is also harmful to their own. The soldiers were a big threat. It's impossible to imagine being as relaxed as before.

"Transport the heavy artillery across the river first." Ye Feng ordered. "Be careful. If this sinks into the river, you won't be able to fish it out. You guys, you won't be able to buy his one-letter base with your year's salary."

There is no problem in passing people on the pontoon bridge, but if you have to transport heavy artillery weighing several thousand kilograms, it will be too much. The heavy artillery can only be dragged here door by door. Without heavy artillery, Ye Feng does not want to launch an attack rashly and attack the city. If they don't have this sharp weapon and can only fill it with their lives, the 88th Division really doesn't have the capital to fill this hole. (To be continued.)
