Chapter 1370: Han Banner World (Sixty) Decisive Battle Under the City (Part 1)

He Weiyuan happily ran all the way back to the Yingshui City military camp. The king must have gotten up by this time. He has served the king for many years and he is very clear about the king's habits. Stepping into the small courtyard where Gao Yuan lives, he saw that under the morning sun, Gao Yuan was wearing only a pair of shorts and was practicing boxing. His bronze skin was covered with crystal beads of sweat, and his muscles were bulging. Zhang Lili and He Weiyuan firmly believe that in this world, only his own king can be like this. Although he is the king of the most powerful country in the world, he has never been arrogant or extravagant for a day. Instead, he has maintained the same habits in the military for many years. .

"Are you crossing the river?" Glancing at He Weiyuan coming in, Gao Yuan slowly put away his stance and let out a long breath.

"Yes, we've crossed the river, we've crossed the river!" He Weiyuan walked over with a smile, walked straight to the well on one side, picked up a bucket of water, walked to Gaoyuan's Island > Novel www.zuzud, and held Gao Gao Gao The bucket was raised and the water poured down from Gao Yuan's head with a splash.

"Comfortable!" Gao Yuan wiped some water from his face, walked to a chair on the side, picked up a towel, and wiped his body.

"Your Majesty, this is called a refreshing fight. This is not a war, it is completely one-sided. The Qin people are like a baby, with no power to fight back in front of us. Looking at this, the Yingchuan County City is probably also in a hurry. "Come on, when I came back, Commander Ye had already commanded the troops to cross the river and established a beachhead on the opposite beach, and the heavy artillery battalion also began to prepare to cross the river," He Weiyuan said happily.

"It's not that easy!" After wiping away the water stains, Gao Yuan walked into the house with the knife and said to He Weiyuan. "The Qin army is not an incompetent army, and the Gongsun Zhi left behind by Tan Feng is not an incompetent person. The previous battle was just a small test of skills. In the first confrontation between the two sides, we had an absolute advantage, but it is also true that Because of this. The other party has also figured out our true and false intentions. Next, they will find a way. So it is time to test Ye Feng's ability. I am quite worried. Ye Feng has never independently commanded such a large-scale war. Not being able to cope with it is still a problem.”

"Your Majesty, you mean..." He Weiyuan asked tentatively, "What methods do you think Gongsun Zhi will use?"

"We can't defend it." Gao Yuan said: "Under the threat of heavy artillery, no city wall will be an obstacle to us. Therefore, if Gongsun Zhi is smart and decisive enough, he will definitely take a risk and fight with us. Field battle, this is their last and only chance, Wei Yuan, gather the military camp, I want to go and see for myself."

Gongsun Zhi made up his mind.

Faced with such a sharp force of the Han army, it was impossible to defend. Even though the embankment was well-defended and separated by a natural barrier along the Yinghe River, it was still defeated by the Han army and defended the city. They can only passively let the Han army take advantage of their firepower. Looking at their previous power, they are afraid that even the city wall will be destroyed by them. The only chance of survival is to attack. Actively attack, both sides fight in the field and mix together.

Their most powerful firepower would then be unable to take advantage.

The Han army has always been strong in field combat capabilities, but the Qin army is not bad either. When the two sides fight, the Qin army is not without a chance of victory. The two sides now have almost the same military strength, but the other side's general is just a baby general in his early twenties. Even if he has been fighting since his mother's womb, he has endured many battles. The two sides are in chaos, which tests the commanders' ability to grasp the battle situation. .

"Generals, this is our only chance." Gongsun Zhi pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and said with murderous intent: "Everyone has witnessed the battle on the embankment. It is impossible to defend. The only way is to leave the city and fight with them. The only way they can survive is by fighting in the field. General Sun Haifeng has already sacrificed his life. He is our example. If we can't win, we will die!"

"Kill!" All the generals in the hall drew their swords and shouted in unison. The tragic scene on the embankment in the morning not only frightened them, but also made them desperate to die. Since they could not hold on, they could only escape from the impossible. It's possible to kill one of them.

"When we go out to fight out of the city, we have two goals. The first goal is to defeat the Han army and drive them down the river. At the worst, we have to achieve the second goal and destroy their long-range weapons. This kind of The weapons are too powerful, so I don't believe there are many of them. Without these sharp weapons, our defense of the city would be helpless," Gongsun Zhidao said.

"clear."

"After leaving the city, try your best to kill the enemy! Whether we can hold Yingchuan County depends on this battle. If we fail, we may lose not only Yingchuan County, Yingchuan is our foothold. Even if we win Ben, Tai'an, and Wulong, we will not be able to control and feed our tens of thousands of troops in a short time. Now, we have fallen out with the imperial court and Lu Chao, and have lost the foundation of our foundation. , everything is over, please work hard!" Gongsun Zhi pulled out his sword with a choking sound and walked out first.

On the edge of Yingshui River, the engineering battalion is continuing to clear the road. About 5,000 Han soldiers who have crossed the river have formed a battle formation to protect the pontoon bridge behind them. On top of it, more soldiers and equipment are continuously coming. After transporting it across the river, the first ferry carrying heavy artillery has docked. The soldiers are laying iron plates. The beach is too soft. If these heavy artillery weighing several thousand kilograms are placed on the beach like this, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. It will sink right away and you will no longer be able to push it.

Several soldiers in front were laying iron plates, and a dozen soldiers behind were shouting slogans, pushing the wheels of the artillery cart, and pushing the artillery cart forward with difficulty. As long as they crossed the beach and got on the embankment, it would be much better. There was a cement road on it, which could withstand the weight of the cannon.

Ye Feng rode on his horse, staring at the Yingchuan County City in the distance. As long as the heavy artillery crossed the river, the attack would begin immediately. Looking back at the riverside, more than a dozen cannons had all been transported to the riverside and were slowly moving towards the embankment, and on the floating bridge, soldiers were also gathering here in an endless stream.

Everything is about to end! Maybe it won't take a day for him to take over Yingchuan County City, and maybe there is still time to clean up Yingchuan County City and clean it up to welcome the arrival of General Chen Bin!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

The drums suddenly rumbled on the opposite tower. Ye Feng raised his head suddenly. The three gates of Yingchuan County City, one large and two small, opened almost at the same time on the side facing the river bank. The Yingchuan Army, led by the cavalry, rushed out of the city with a roar and shouted to the river bank.

"You are really looking for death!" Ye Feng sneered, "The first regiment is in a square formation, ready to meet the enemy, the second regiment is divided into the left and right wings for cover, and the third regiment, which is crossing the river, will immediately move to the left and right wings after crossing the river to increase the capabilities of the two wings. As long as the first regiment withstands their attacks, the left and right wings can launch a counterattack in real time and defeat the enemy under the city wall. Since the other side wants to fight in the field, let them learn how powerful our 88th Division is."

The big shieldmen stepped forward, and rows of huge shields stood up. The rings on the shields were interlocked, and a row of dozens of shields stood up. In the cross section, between every two rows of shieldmen, there was a divine crossbow, and the crossbow arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at the Qin army that was rushing towards them. Behind the shieldman, the spearmen raised their spears to form a forest of spears. They couldn't counterattack now because they had to protect the floating bridge behind them and the heavy artillery that was struggling to move forward on the beach.

"Crossbows ready!"

"Fire!"

As the orders were issued one after another, the gaps on the cross section of the big shieldman suddenly erupted, and the crossbow arrows flashing with cold light swept across the carriages running wildly from the opposite side.

The horses' wailing and the soldiers' shouts immediately rang out. Some fell down, while others continued to charge forward. The Qin soldiers on the war horses did not hold bows and crossbows, nor did they hold swords, spears, and halberds. They only held torches in their hands.

Ye Feng was startled at first, then suddenly understood, his face changed drastically: "Shenji Crossbow, keep shooting, arm crossbow, arm crossbow, intercept them."

A Qin cavalryman rushed in through the gap of the arrow rain, swung his right hand suddenly, and a black thing with sparks flew out of his hand and flew forward, passing the big shieldman and flying into the dense long spear array of the Han army.

A dozen soldiers screamed in a loud bang, and the fragments of pottery jars were densely splashed under the impact of the explosion of gunpowder. The dense formation of the Han army made him play a much greater power than usual.

The arrow rain was more dense, but it was impossible to intercept all the high-speed galloping horses. Moreover, these soldiers who attacked the army were simply dared to die. Even if the horses were shot dead, they still held up the grenades, howled and rushed forward, trying to throw the grenades in their hands into the Han army formation. Even if he would be shot to the ground and blown to pieces by the grenades in his hands, he had no fear.

The sound of explosions continued to ring out, and gaps appeared in the tight Han army formation. With continuous replenishment, the thick formation began to become thinner.

On the other side of the river, Gao Yuan looked at the battle situation on the other side and shook his head slightly: "Ye Feng's reaction was slow. In fact, when he first saw the opponent's cavalry, he should have sent all his cavalry to intercept them. He couldn't let these suicidal guys rush to the front of the army. Cavalry against cavalry, the opponent didn't even bring a knife, and was completely a target to be chopped. Even if they detonated the grenade in their hands, how much damage could they cause?"

He Weiyuan nodded, "Your Majesty is right. Hey, Your Majesty, look, Division Commander Ye sent out his cavalry, and the cavalry on the left and right wings all rushed up."

"I'm afraid it wasn't Ye Feng's idea, but the commanders of the left and right wings discovered the problem themselves. In Ye Feng's division, those who can be regimental commanders can be more than a division commander in other troops. I hope Ye Feng can learn more from them." (To be continued.)
