Chapter 368 Attack on the Head of the City

The God of War cannon is very powerful. In the first round of bullet rain, it sank several of the opponent's big ships. In the turbulent river, once the opponent's warship is sunk, no matter how good the soldiers on it are, there are only a few soldiers who can swim ashore.

I saw a wave hit, and the head that came out was blown away.

In the past few days, there happened to be a flood in the upper reaches, and the water level of the Yangtze River rose very high.

The gunners' psychological quality is very good. They launch, load, adjust the shooting of Zhuyuan, and then launch. When they see the broken warship, they don't cheer. They see the sailors struggling in the Yangtze River, and they don't have pity. They are like wood. They don't have their own thoughts. At this moment, their only task is to stop. Fire cannonballs.

The other party came quickly.

At a distance of ten miles, only five rounds of God of War cannons were fired, and the other side was already close within one mile.

Although at this time, the other party's fleet has been scattered, at least more than half of the warships have now turned into fragments and taken away by the water.

"Scattered fireworks, get ready." Zhang Yang ordered calmly.

If the cannon shoots again, the other party will approach the range of the bow and arrow. The other party's warship is so tall that it is actually higher than the head of Yingtianfu in the river.

This means that the other party can shoot arrow rain from top to bottom, which will cause great damage to the troops at the head of their city.

However, Zhang Yang is not worried, because in addition to the 200 God of War cannons, there are also 500 scattered cannons on this side of the wall. At that time, if the scattered fireworks fire together, it will definitely form a terrible rain of bullets. Needless to say, these warships, even the fish in the river, will have to float.

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing on the far west side.

What's going on?

In the distance, Zhang Feng saw a bright red flare on the west wall.

No, the wall on the west side was also attacked by the other party!

Due to the strength of Chen Youliang's water army, Zhang Yang only noticed the head of the city near the north side of the Yangtze River. Almost all the God of War cannons and scattered cannons, and almost half of the army were transferred to this side by Zhang Yang, resulting in empty troops in other directions.

I didn't expect that Chen Youliang's generals were also so good at commanding. His water army was strong, and he still dared to use the infantry to attack!

As a result, it just hit my own soft ribs.

On the west side of the city, 20,000 landings of the navy launched an attack on the city.

Because the north side attracted the attention of the defenders, they were not found by the sentry as they approached the head of the city!

When it was close to a hundred steps, the defenders at the top of the city finally found the army coming like locusts below. Suddenly, the cruel counterattack began.

At a distance of a hundred steps, the other party has almost reached the bottom of the city wall. If you want to shoot with Tianque, you have to pok out your head to get it.

And another weapon, the grenade, has a place to use.

Because the scattered cannons are arranged on the north wall, this most effective weapon to kill and injure the enemy is useless, and the grenade has begun to be used in large numbers.

The army guarding the city ignited the grenade, and then, there was no need to look at it at all. Just throw it out.

And at the head of the city, arrows kept flying. The other party was too close. With the help of the wind, many arrows flew to the head of the city. The soldiers guarding the city could only hide under the root of the city to prevent them from being shot.

In an instant, there were explosions everywhere and screams everywhere.

The siege has always been the bloodiest and cruelest.

Because there were not many defenders at the head of the city, and each person's four grenades were soon used up, they had to take up the sky and start shooting.

When I poked my head out, I saw that the team that attacked the city had set up the ladder and was climbing up.

Hit! All the people were constantly shooting, people were rolling down from the ladder, and people were constantly climbing up, people were constantly being hit by bows and arrows, and the lives of the soldiers on both sides were ruthlessly harvested.

"The bayonet!"

In the gap between the launch, the commander saw that he could not stop the opponent's attack. Once he fought by hand, he could only greet the other party with Tianque's bayonet.

Almost at the moment of a good bayonet, the first sailor has climbed up.

"Puff!" Two bayonets pierced into his chest at the same time. He shouted and fell down.

Just as soon as the bayonet was pulled out, the second and third, many people climbed up fearlessly.

In addition to the soldiers with waist knives, the soldiers with spears also climbed up, and the situation immediately changed. The spears obviously occupied the advantage of the length of the sky. However, the soldiers with the sky were not just hand-to-hand combat. While using bayonets, they were also firing bullets to destroy the soldiers who pedaled the city. .

The battle is going on fiercely, but after all, there are few soldiers defending the city, and they are already at a disadvantage.

Zhao Pushen looked at the broken warships around him and the wooden boards floating on the river, and was not moved at all.

"Prepare the bow and arrow." Zhao Pusheng said.

Immediately, you can throw bows and arrows to show the defenders at the head of the city. After shooting the bows and arrows, his warship will pass by the wall of Yingtianfu. The soldiers can jump directly to the wall from the right position and capture the head of the city.

Moreover, the 20,000 infantry are likely to have achieved certain results.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of terrible shells fired on the wall again, which was much louder than before.

The whole city was covered by the smoke cage of shells.

Damn, the other party's firepower just now was not all released! Zhao Pushheng knew from the sound of gunfire that this shelling was much more fierce than just now.

Has the other party been hiding its strength and just waiting for the last time? Zhao Pushheng didn't know that Zhang Yang's army was equipped with two kinds of artillery. He thought that this was the intention of the other party.

"Left rudder, retreat!" Zhao Pusheng shouted. Just now, I have been close to the city wall to the right. Now, I just need to turn left. With the help of wind and water, I will soon drive downstream and drive out of the fire range of Yingtianfu. At that time, I can take other waterways and go back to Hezhou.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

While the fleet turned sharply, the sky full of bullet rain has fallen. Unlike the large warheads just now, this time, it is a small bullet rain, but this kind of bullet rain is more terrible than just now.

Hit on the deck, into the wood three points, hit on the human body, in an instant, flesh and blood flew, the sail has broken countless big holes, the soldiers on the deck are about to throw bows and arrows, there are few left, and the blood is flowing down.

Zhao Pusheng was very lucky. There was only one piece that broke his arm and survived the terrible rain.

"Quick, retreat." Zhao Pushheng looked at the corpses on the deck and had completely lost the courage to attack.

Although the sail has been broken and the sailors on the deck have been exhausted, their own warships are not only driven by the wind.

On both sides of the lower deck, there are also oarsers who can also row.

However, those who can escape their lives in the end are in the minority.

Although the oarsmen can't see the situation above and can't hear the sound above, this is also designed by Chen Youliang. The upper and lower parts are soundproof. No matter how the upper part fights, it will not affect the mood of the oarsmen below.

However, the oarsman can not see the situation, can't hear the sound, but can't turn a blind eye to the blood flowing down from it.

The blood on it has converged into a stream and flowed down the gap to the position of the oarser below.

They are scared.

Finally, fear overcame their obedience to discipline, and they panicked.

If you want to paddle, many oarsers must listen to the unified trumpet, but now, some people who are already absent-minded have made mistakes, and the oars outside have begun to fight.

In this way, the speed of the ship can't be raised naturally, and the wind is lost. The time they have been exposed in front of Yingtianfu will be longer.

The cannons were constantly shooting, round by round. Finally, the large warships could not stand the trauma and began to collapse.

Zhao Pushheng only took two or three warships and escaped from the range of the city. When he came, the aggressive fleet had long disappeared, almost all of them into pieces of wood floating on the river and countless corpses.

"The first thousandth team in the base camp, follow me to the west side of the city." Zhang Yang shouted.

The battle here has been solved, but the city in the west is still in the most danger.

Zhang Yang rushed to the west with the soldiers.

From afar, we can see that the head of the city is in fierce competition, but it is obvious that the enemy has an advantage and is dividing and encircling the defenders of their own head of the city. What's more, a few enemy troops have rushed into the city.

The situation is very critical!

Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He immediately took people and threw himself into hand-to-hand combat.

"Ban!" Zhang Yang came up with a shot and killed an enemy on the periphery. Then, the bayonet came forward and stabbed the second enemy over.

The moment he pulled out the bayonet, the blood splashed on his face. He wiped it with his cuffs and then stepped forward.

The soldiers who followed him also fell into the hand-to-hand combat.

First, the enemy on the outside was eliminated, and then the ladder was pried down.

The enemy who attacked the head of the city suddenly became a disadvantage.

The other defenders on both sides of the city also rushed over.

After half an hour of hand-to-hand combat, all the attacking enemies have been killed at the head of the city, and their own side has also suffered a lot of casualties.

This is war, cruel war! Zhang Yang was covered with blood. From the beginning of the army to now, this is the first hard battle.

Chen Youliang is really a strong enemy. Even a pioneer under his command has made himself a little embarrassed. If Chen Youliang attacks with all his strength today, he is really tired of coping with it. Zhang Yang's mood is a little depressed. It seems that he has to transfer his main force from the rear to Yingtianfu to meet the next siege.
