Chapter 1459: Han Banner World (One Hundred and Forty-Nine) House-by-House Battle
Wang Bao half-crouched in the rubble, watching the violent explosions on the city wall not far from him. Sections of the city wall disappeared in the explosions, and bricks, stones, and rubbish rattled with every explosion. He fell down, and the distance where he lay was not far from the city wall. Not long after, his body was covered with a thick layer of dust. There was a suffocating smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the fire was raging, seeming to burn all the air around him. He had to open his mouth wider, desperately trying to breathe more air into his lungs to relieve the pain. A burning sensation. But when he opened his mouth, it was filled with smoke and dust.
Turning his head, he saw a soldier lying on the ground beside him, his body trembling constantly. Wang Bao dragged him up and said, "Don't lie down, squat like me."
This soldier looks very young, with only a slight layer of stubble emerging from his mouth. Unlike Wang Bao, who has endured more than ten days of "Pig", "Pig" and "Island" novels www.zhuzud.om , the beard on his face grew out, messy.
They were very close to the explosion point, and it was very easy for their internal organs to be injured if they lay down. This was a lesson learned at the cost of their lives. When they were defending on the embankment, some soldiers had no injuries on their bodies, but it didn't take long for them to be injured one by one. After bleeding to death, the soldiers on the front line concluded that at the time of the explosion, most of those lying on the ground did not escape the disaster, but those who squatted on the ground to avoid it had nothing to do with it.
The Han army had never suffered such a violent explosive attack before, and naturally had no experience in this area. After this experience was summarized, it was quickly handed over to the division headquarters level by level, and was immediately notified. to various ministries. This is a kind of introspection system of the Han army. As long as it is beneficial, it can always be applied in the shortest time.
The soldier in front of him was obviously stunned by the bombing, and he even forgot the wartime essentials he had emphasized repeatedly in the past few days. Wang Bao looked at this childish face and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. As a veteran, he knew very well that the possibility of them surviving this battle was slim. Without the protection of the city wall and the suppression of long-range weapons, and fighting hand-to-hand with an enemy force ten times their own, even if the Han Dynasty No matter how brave the army is, it is impossible to defeat them.
"Where is this young man from? How long have you been in the army?" Wang Bao decided to chat with this comrade to help him get rid of some of his fears. All of his own men had been sacrificed. In the alleyway where I am currently ambushing, I just took a look. There are about a dozen people, but I don't know any of them, and I don't know which part they were from before. But it doesn't matter, they are all from the third division anyway. Partner. We all may be older or younger. We cannot be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we must die in the same year, the same month and the same day. We formed a team together to report to the King of Hell.
"I am from Tianhe County, and I have just joined the army for a year." The young soldier said.
"I'm from Jicheng. Speaking of which, I'm also from Tianhe County!" Wang Bao said with a smile. "I have a wife and four children at home. The eldest one is about the same age as you. Where is your family?"
"In addition to my parents, I have two brothers and one sister.
"
"This is really a big family. Why did you come out to be a soldier?"
"My brothers all came to take the exam. But they were illiterate and were rejected at the first level. Brother Wang, you are not young anymore. You can actually read and write? It's really amazing."
Wang Bao laughed heartily: "I don't know how to read, but at that time we didn't have to pay so much attention to joining the Young Guards. I am a veteran who has been in the army for seven years. I am almost forty this year, and I was originally planning to retire. Yes, but in this war, as a veteran, it must be too unethical to leave at this time, and my comrades couldn’t stop scolding me, so I stayed again. "
"Brother Wang, will we die?" A trace of fear flashed across the young soldier's face. These days, he has seen too many deaths happening around him.
"I can't say for sure!" Wang Bao smiled and looked up at the city wall. A huge explosion had just occurred, and fragments of stones and bricks rained down. He reached out and pressed the soldier's head. "But humans are going to die eventually. Are you right? You will either die in bed or die on the battlefield. The process is different, but in the end you will walk on the same road. So, there is nothing to be afraid of. . And on the battlefield, those who are most afraid of death are often the first to die. Is this your first time fighting?"
"No, the second time, the last time was in Wuguan!" said the young soldier.
Wang Bao laughed. To be honest, the battle at Wuguan was not a tough one. The enemy had no defense at all and the fight was too easy. Compared with the battle in front of him, it was not at the same level. superior.
The sound of explosions was still ringing. The Chu people seemed to have prepared endless explosive packets, and they would not give up until the city was completely blown away. Amidst the sound of explosions, Wang Bao talked to the young soldiers about his hometown. Interestingly, gradually the soldier's fear gradually disappeared.
"Prepare your grenades. When the enemy comes, throw the grenades in your hands regardless of whether they are three or seventy-two, and then you run back. Do you understand? Do you see the tallest house in the distance? , that’s the General’s Mansion, where to go.”
Wang Bao couldn't bear the young man to die like this, so he arranged a way for him to survive, because there would definitely be the one who could persevere best to the end in Yingshui City.
"knew!"
The sound of the explosion finally stopped. When the smoke cleared, Yingshui's city wall basically no longer existed. There were blasted holes everywhere. After a short period of calm, a roar like a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly sounded outside. The ground shook slightly, caused by thousands of people charging together. Wang Bao took out grenades one by one from the leather pouch on his belt, opened the cover on the handle, and pulled out the lead inside. The young people next to him also followed his example and removed the grenades on his belt one by one. Put it away.
"When the Chu people rush past this alley later, you light the grenades and throw them out. Don't care about the effect, just throw them out. Then you lie down and don't move. When we rush up, you run back. , did you hear it clearly?" Wang Bao warned again.
"You heard me clearly."
There was no Han soldier on the city wall. The attackers easily crossed the city wall that had been out of reach for these days and poured into the city. The huge torrent instantly split into streams and poured into everyone in the city. A corner.
"Now!" Wang Bao yelled, picked up a grenade, lit the fuse, and threw the grenade out. On the main street outside the alley where they were ambushing, densely packed Chu soldiers were passing quickly.
As Wang Bao's grenade flew out, dozens of grenades were thrown out immediately. Amid the explosion, the running Chu soldiers were immediately swept away by the huge explosion and fell down one by one. The Han soldiers in the alley threw out all the grenades in their hands in a very short period of time, and then He jumped up from the ground, roared and rushed out with a sword and spear.
Wang Bao rushed to the front, and with a quick glance, he suddenly saw the young soldier just now following him closely, "Damn, what are you doing?"
"Brother Wang, you want to protect your son and daughter, and I also want to protect my family. If we lose this battle, maybe my brothers will go to the battlefield again. If we win, they won't come. I Don't be afraid of death, we will win!" The young soldier shouted loudly, leaping over Wang Bao quickly, and actually ran to the first place.
Wang Bao sighed, quickened his pace, and followed closely. In front of them was a main street in Yingshui City. At this moment, countless Han troops poured out from the alleys on both sides. The combat methods they adopted were almost exactly the same as Wang Bao's.
At this moment, the Chu army was stunned by the explosion. Before they could get up from the ground, the Han army rushed forward, slashing with swords and stabbing with spears. In an instant, they actually killed the Chu army to a rout.
More Chu troops gathered a little further away, and then rushed here.
Half an hour later, the five-hundred-meter street finally became quiet. On the concrete ground, blood flowed, forming small streams and flowing down the sewer openings beside the street. From The underground flowed to the Yingshui River. In the already clear Yingshui River, circles of redness suddenly began to spread from the water.
Huang Zhongtie walked on this street with a livid face, carrying a bloody knife, and there was almost no place to step. As a replacement for Bai Xizhong as the first wave of troops to attack the city, he suffered heavy losses in the first round of confrontation. On this short 500-meter street, more than 2,000 of his soldiers fell. There may be crossbows and grenades flying out of every room, and one or several soldiers will suddenly jump down from every roof, rush into the crowd of Chu soldiers desperately, and kill them crazily.
This battle made Huang Zhong become more and more frightened the more he fought. He stepped on something under his feet and his body tilted to the side. Huang Zhongxiao jumped a step and stood firm. When he looked down, he stepped on the arm of a Han Jun. This was an older Han Jun, stretched out. Lying between his arms was a young soldier. Both of them had several more holes. The older Han soldier had several more holes than the younger one.
This is probably a father and son, or a pair of brothers! The older one tried to block the attack for the younger one, but in the end both of them died here. Huang Zhong stopped. Now he understood that even if the opponent was completely dead, they would not withdraw from the city that had been conquered. They would not break through, so General Qu's arrangements outside the city would be completely useless. On.
"Attack, clear out each house for me." Huang Zhong pointed his sword forward. (To be continued.)
