Dense Feather Arrows
Although the Northern Subei Army had few soldiers, the formation of thousands of archers gathering together and pouring feather arrows was large enough. The surface of the water seemed to be hit by hail, and a layer of water vapor was picked up crackling. Soldiers on the boat kept falling into the water, including soldiers from the Black Banner Army and soldiers from the Northern Subei Army. Speaking of which, following the boats of the Northern Subei Army, the losses of the Black Banner Army were slightly smaller. Those soldiers from the Northern Subei Army who fought before were the real losses heavy.
"Don't shoot the arrow!"
A general of the Northern Jiangsu Army commanded by the army shouted at the top of his voice, but the archers on the shore had turned red-eyed from being unable to shoot at the beginning, so who cares about his yelling
A feathered arrow came through the gap in the front shield and pierced into the general's chest with a puff. Although the leather armor blocked part of the feathered arrow's strength, the arrowhead still got in. The pain made his thinking blur for a moment. , he subconsciously looked down at the trembling arrow, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Why do you shoot arrows at your own people?"
He murmured, with sadness in his eyes.
His personal soldiers hurried over, holding the shaft of the arrow with one hand, and with the other hand drew the knife to cut off the feather arrow, because they didn't know how deep it penetrated, so no one dared to pull out the feather arrow rashly. The soldier sighed, and tore off his clothes to bandage the general: "General, accept your fate, we may have been doomed to have such a thing happen since we started the battle. You are lucky enough, your leather armor is thick enough, Looks like the arrow didn't stab very deep..."
He glanced at the general: "Look at the soldiers you have received again. What can that thin leather armor block?"
His words came to an abrupt end here, the hand that was still bandaging the general was still stiff, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the soldier, and then his body fell limply. A feathered arrow shot in from the back of his neck, and came out from the front of his neck again. The arrow was still stained with blood, and the blood from the feathered arrow splashed the general's face.
There was a shout from the shore, like the call of death: "Soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Army, don't go to the shore anymore! Turn around and fight the enemy to the death! Even if you die in battle, your family will be supported by the general! Turn back and fight to the death!"
The soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Army on the east bank shouted one after another: "Turn back and fight to the death!"
"Turn back and fight to the death!"
west coast
Wu Yiyi glanced at Fang Jie and asked in a low voice, "The navy has installed artillery on three warships, do you want to try the power?"
"hold on… "
Fang Jie raised his clairvoyant eye to see how far Du Dingbei's people were from the shore.
"My lord, this subordinate thinks that the artillery has just been equipped on the warship, and it should be reserved for the big battle, so as to be able to catch people by surprise. If you use the artillery now, you will be less deterrent when facing a strong enemy in the future."
Li Tai, the deputy general of the Flying Leopard Army standing beside Fang Jie, said.
Fang Jie shook his head: "The purpose of creating a powerful weapon is not only to attack the enemy, but the most important thing is to reduce the losses of our own people. No matter how expensive things are, they are not as precious as human lives... The distance is almost the same, send a signal , Let Zheng Qiu fire!"
Following his order, the orderly standing behind him immediately waved a large flag.
The flagship of the navy, who had been staring at Fang Jie's watchman, saw the ordering flag waving, and hurriedly shouted. Zheng Qiu had been waiting for a long time to test the power of the artillery, and when he heard the watchman shout, he immediately roared: "Use the artillery to blast a way for our brothers to land! Go to the place where the enemy army is crowded and give me a hard blow." beat!"
Several windows were suddenly opened on the ship's side, and black cannons were pushed out of the windows. In the cabin, the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion who had been training in the Zhuque Mountain camp for several years had been waiting for this moment. This was the first actual combat since the formation of the Firearms Battalion, and they were even more excited than Du Dingbei.
Boom!
Bang bang bang!
As the first cannon spit out flames, all the cannons placed on the side of the ship fired, swallowing fire snakes. As the shells were fired, the huge recoil caused the ship to tip to one side, but it quickly regained its balance. This is something that the navy has already tested many times, so no one is worried.
Flowers exploded in the camp of archers of the Northern Subei Army on the opposite bank. The soldiers of the Northern Subei Army watched burning tracks being thrown from the big ship. Before they could react, the shells exploded in the crowd. These shells were modified based on the artillery shells that Fang Jie captured from the Opulu Empire in Yunnan Road. After they exploded, the range of damage was extremely large.
The first shell fell into the crowd of archers, and the scattered fragments immediately swept away the crowd!
…
…
After a round of bombardment by three large ships equipped with artillery, the opposite shore was completely chaotic. The Northern Subei Army didn't know what it was, but it was so powerful. The weapons in their hands looked so small in front of the exploding shells, and the strong shields couldn't stop the terrifying power.
Although only a dozen or so shells landed in the crowd, their deterrent effect was sufficient. The soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Army began to retreat with howls, and the formation immediately became disorganized.
At this moment, Du Dingbei's centipede clipper was the first to approach the shore. Because the northern Jiangsu army smashed wooden piles in the shallow water on the shore, even the centipede clippers could not dock, so the soldiers of the Black Banner Army stopped the boat three or four meters away from the shore, and then jumped into the river one after another.
Although Du Dingbei's martial arts skills were common, at this moment he never thought of commanding from behind. He knew very well how to establish prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. There was no better way than to fight side by side with the soldiers. So, although he was very scared, he still didn't back down.
"Go ashore! Stabilize the formation and open up an open space for the people behind!"
Du Dingbei took off his upper body clothes, shirtless, and jumped into the river with the horizontal knife in his mouth. The soldiers of the Black Banner Army on the boat saw that the young man was so brave, they also took off their shirts one after another, jumped into the river and swam to the bank.
"Let the arrow!"
"Quickly release the arrow!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the Black Banner Army were about to land, Mr. Xishan couldn't sit still anymore. He shouted loudly, then turned around and ordered the supervisory team to kill people behind to stabilize the formation. The artillery shocked a large number of soldiers of the Northern Subei Army, and the sudden explosion filled them with fear.
After hearing the order, the supervisory team stood in a row behind the array, and pulled the trigger of the Liannu in their hands without any mercy. The soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Army who ran back at the beginning immediately fell down one floor, and some began to cry and beg for mercy, but the duty of supervising the battle team is that even if they don't want to do anything to their comrades, why is there such a mountain of military orders
The soldiers of the Northern Subei Army were forced to return to the shore. At this time, hundreds of people from the Black Banner Army had gathered on the shore, forming a seemingly thin circle. The most basic defensive formation is the phalanx, but this topographic circular formation works better. This is a formation composed of hundreds of shirtless men from the Black Banner Army, using the knives in their hands and the blood from their wounds to fight for a place for the follow-up team.
Blood was seen on Du Dingbei's body. After all, he is not good at martial arts. This young man who led the army for the first time showed enough calmness, which is not easy. A child from an ordinary family has never seen a battle, and it is impressive that he didn't pee his pants in the mountain of blood and blood, not to mention that he can calmly maintain a clear mind.
Following the advice of the guards, Du Dingbei stood in the center of the circle and commanded: "If the enemy has heavy armored infantry, they will rush over immediately. When you see heavy armored infantry coming, don't panic, and don't retreat. If we retreat, the brothers behind We will suffer heavy casualties! Since we are the first wave to rush over, I am ready to fight to the death with you, are you ready!"
"Die for the Black Banner Army!"
The soldiers roared, and this group of shirtless men looked fearless!
Du Dingbei's voice fell, and hundreds of heavy armored infantry soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Army rushed towards us in a square formation on the high slope of the river embankment. conspicuous. Du Dingbei bit his lips when he saw the group of heavy armor coming towards this side: "Get ready! Don't retreat an inch!"
"Don't retreat an inch!"
A group of men roared, the sun shone on their blood-soaked bronze skin, reflecting a look that only bloody men can have!
That bulging muscle, that scar.
Only on the battlefield can a man's masculinity be fully displayed!
…
…
Seeing that the heavy armored infantry of the Northern Jiangsu Army was about to charge over, several cavalry rushed over from behind the Northern Jiangsu Army. The army has broken! The city has been broken! General! Our city was broken by a black flag army that suddenly appeared!"
Sun Yingdian, who was already in a panic, turned pale with fright when he heard the shout, shook his body a few times, and sat down on the ground.
"Trash! Idiot!"
After hearing the shout, Mr. Xishan cursed bitterly, with despair already in his eyes. He had completely lost this battle until today, and it was only now that he suddenly understood why Fang Jie wanted to promote a young man who had never led an army before the 16th and 17th.
He used such gimmicks to attract everyone's attention, including himself. The atmosphere that Fang Jie created on purpose made even him angry. He has been famous in North Subei Province for a long time, and the thieves are terrified when they hear about it. Because of this, Fang Jie deliberately let that little-known young man take command to arouse his anger.
And Fang Jie, taking advantage of all the attention here, sent a team to go around and attack the city of Yaning. Now that the foundation has been lost, what is the point of fighting this battle again
Mr. Xishan let out a long sigh and sat down softly.
Hearing the shouts of the cavalry behind them, the soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Army who had already lost more than half of their fighting spirit suddenly became confused. The heavy armored infantrymen who were still pushing forward were all stunned, not knowing whether they should continue to charge forward. None of them were fools, and they quickly thought of a possibility.
If they can rush up now, they will definitely be able to squeeze down the hundreds of Black Banner Army soldiers, but it won't take long before the Black Banner Army soldiers who have broken through the city of Yaning will come from behind. They are wearing such heavy suits. Armor, when the time comes to get involved in the battle formation, you won't be able to run even if you want to!
bang
A soldier of the Northern Jiangsu Army in the front suddenly dropped the horizontal knife in his hand, crouched down with his head in his arms: "I'm surrendering!"
The first person to surrender appeared, followed immediately by a large group of people. This despair spread like a plague in the northern Jiangsu army. The group of soldiers surrounding Du Dingbei on the bank dropped their weapons first. Du Dingbei had already subscribed to death. He knew that success and crisis would always be linked together. Since he chose to accept Fang Jie's order to command this war, he had already made two preparations.
Meet impending fame, or meet death.
Du Dingbei's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the voice of the Northern Jiangsu Army shouting that the city of Yaning had been broken: "Forward! Our reinforcements will be behind the enemy as soon as they arrive!"
"forward!"
Hundreds of Black Banner Army soldiers rushed out first to clear the space, and the subsequent Black Banner Army soldiers began to land in large numbers. Without resistance, the Black Banner Army occupied the shore extremely quickly.
in the crowd
Sun Yingdian wailed in despair, collapsed on the ground, unable to speak anymore.
