After the decision was made, the battle began immediately, and the army fell into pieces, blending into the dark earth like spring rain.
There were no torches to guide the way, and there was no whispering. Everyone hurried on in a muffled voice. The only thing they could see were their teammates around them.
Captain Shi Zhong led a team of two hundred people all the way to the north gate of Wangjiang Town.
"Wait for my command later. When attacking, don't shoot blindly. Pay attention to the position of your own people, and then attack after you see them clearly. Now pass on what I say."
"yes."
Suddenly there was a burst of whispering from behind.
After receiving the order, Xu Wa tightened her grip on the gun handle slightly uneasily.
He was the eldest son of a farmer's family in Baihe City. His family was oppressed by the government. Not only did he sell all the land at a low price, but he was also almost sold into slavery because of the lack of food and clothing in the winter. As a result, Princess Guangping descended from the sky, uprooted the government and paid off all debts. Even the two or so acres of land that had been sold at a low price were redistributed back to the family, saying that as long as the Xu family continued farming, they would always own it. Therefore, when news of recruiting soldiers appeared in Baihe City, Xu Wa signed up without hesitation.
In my father's words, they will have to spend their entire lives repaying Her Royal Highness the Princess's kindness.
There were still many Baihe people like him at that time.
After training and distribution, everyone was dispersed into their respective teams.
This was the first time that Xu Wa actually set foot on the battlefield, and his opponent was the rumored ten-state coalition army. Naturally, he felt uneasy not because of fear, but because he was worried about whether he could complete the mission.
There is no doubt about his determination to fight. With the arrival of the princess, the family has turned around. Seeing that the days will get better and better in the future, who can bear to go back to the past? Now that the imperial court of Qi State wants to depose the princess, they must not be allowed to do so.
The problem is that the total number of this army is only two to three thousand, and the number of enemies stationed in Wangjiang Town is ten times that of our own. If we don't fight, wouldn't we not only harm the princess, but also let down the expectations of the family
To be honest, participating in actual combat for the first time was completely different from what Xu Wa had imagined. He had also seen the soldiers in the city expelling the refugees, and the Shenzhou Army clearing out the bandits. The team tried to spread the battle as much as possible to make themselves appear prestige. Hehe. Even when Princess Guangping conquered Baihe City, there was still a large army behind her.
However, at this moment, all he could see were dozens of people.
This gave Xu Wa the illusion that none of the other teams had followed, and that only dozens of them would be the ones to attack Wangjiang Town later.
Suddenly, he felt a cold feeling on the tip of his nose.
I couldn't help but reached out and touched it, and found that it was raining.
The rain was sparse at first, but soon became dense. The captain's order never came, so everyone could only continue to lie on the spot and let the heavy rain pour on themselves.
There were people in the team talking in low voices before, but now there was no one to talk to because no one wanted to be splashed with mud as soon as they opened their mouths. For a while, there was only the sound of splashing in everyone's ears.
Xu Wa suddenly noticed that the firelight in the direction of the town seemed to be much dimmer.
He rubbed his hazy eyes and tried to look towards the town gate, realizing that it was not an illusion. Many soldiers originally stationed at the street entrances of Wangjiang Town had withdrawn. After the bonfires were put out, no one paid attention to them anymore. The figures on the two temporary sentry towers also disappeared without a trace.
This town had no city walls, so it looked empty in front of it, as if no one was guarding it.
At this moment, a dragon roar came from the sky, and a dazzling electric light pierced the night sky and hit the center of the town!
"Everyone, follow me to attack!" Almost at the same time, the captain also issued the order to attack.
Xu Wa got up from the soft ground and ran staggeringly towards Wangjiang Town without brushing the mud off her body.
Then came several more thunders!
The moment the earth was illuminated, Xu Wa saw an unforgettable sight.
Countless figures emerged from the darkness, running in the same direction as him. When the purple light dissipated, they would return to the night again until the next lightning appeared.
He suddenly realized that those lightnings were both destroying the enemy and lighting the way forward for them.
The enemy did not expect that an army would unknowingly touch the foot of the town, nor did they expect that they would attack in the heavy rain.
Operating at night is inherently disadvantageous to the attacking party, let alone on a rainy night. The defenders had fortifications to rely on, while the attackers had nothing and could only rely on their feet to crawl in the mud. Even if the Jinxia people had air rifles, the low visibility at night would diminish this advantage.
Therefore, when the enemy realized that something was wrong, it was too late to reorganize the defense line at the gate of the town.
Xu Wa and three other teammates were the first to enter the main street of the town. He remembered his commander's instructions and fired cautiously, so he didn't even pull the trigger along the way. Even he himself couldn't believe that the seemingly heavily guarded north side could break through so easily.
It wasn't until he was about ten steps closer to the tent on the street that he saw someone emerging from the tent with a knife and a gun.
There is no way this is one of our own.
Xu Wa immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and fired three shots at the target. The latter screamed twice, curled up in a ball and fell down.
More enemy troops followed and poured out of the tent.
They simply squatted half-crouched at the entrance of the tent and fired continuously directly inside, completely emptying the first gas tank.
The fallen enemies actually piled up in front of the camp.
The rest of the Jinxia troops who followed immediately followed suit, blocking the tent and opening fire. Even if someone ran out, when they saw the dense crowd of people under the electric light, they no longer had the intention to fight, and turned around and ran away in horror. For such people, no one is too lazy to chase them. Anyway, there is an attacking force on the opposite side, and it is the Xuanwu Army led by the princess herself. Even if thousands of people escape, they are not afraid.
The task they received was to eliminate the enemy's combat forces in the north as much as possible. In other words, they could allow the northern and southern battalions to join together, but they could not allow the other side to flee into the suburbs.
After occupying the main street, the battle quickly turned into a house-by-house clearing campaign.
When most of the Beiying soldiers noticed that something was wrong, they did not immediately go out of the house to check the situation, but blocked the door and defended the house. But this was actually an illusion. The continuous fire characteristics of the air rifle were very suitable for fighting in narrow terrain. , on the contrary, ordinary weapons need to be close to achieve effective killing. In this process, a shuttle of ammunition is often used, and there is no way to form a trend of using less to hit more.
Suddenly, Xu Wa saw a group of people fighting with his own troops not far away. The fighting will of this team is obviously different from that of other soldiers. Although they were besieged by everyone in a house, they organized several breakouts in a short period of time and cut down many brothers.
"Come on, let's go over and help!"
The anxiety of entering the battle for the first time has completely disappeared, and the combat specifications and combat tasks during training have become more and more clear in my mind. When Xu Wa and others arrived, people from other teams had just taken over the yard and blocked the enemy into the house. Just as a small team was about to attack the gate, a thorn suddenly shot up from the ground and pierced the three people walking in the front.
Immediately someone shouted a warning, "Be careful, there are alchemists among the enemies!"
