I’m The King Chapter 1368: : Han Banner Tianxia (58) crossing the river
Yingchuan County City, which Tan Feng believed to be infallible, did not even defend for a day.
Overnight, the atmosphere in the peaceful Yingshui City changed drastically. In the early hours of the morning, groups of soldiers rushed out of the barracks, the sound of orderly footsteps, the neighing of horses, and the shouting of officers. In an instant, the sound resounded throughout the city. Countless businessmen and people were awakened, and they opened windows or door panels in surprise. What they saw was countless heavily armed soldiers rushing to the river bank, and more soldiers loaded with military supplies. The carriages are also gathering somewhere. The sound of the loud bugle was not only heard clearly in Yingshui City, but also the Qin army on the other side could hear it.
Countless torches suddenly lit up on both sides of Yingshui.
"Reporting to the king, the 88th Division of the 19th Army is already-pig-pig-island-novelww.{zhu}{zhu}{}ready for battle, please give the order." Standing in front of Gao Yuan armed, he reported excitedly and loudly.
"Today you are the chief general, and you will personally command all the battles. I am just a spectator." Gao Yuan smiled. "However, your commander, Commander Chen, is on his way. He must hope that you have successfully captured Yingchuan County before he arrives."
"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Ye Feng grinned, "I have been preparing for such a long time, and I have deduced it countless times. I am already familiar with this process, and I will definitely complete the task on time."
"Okay, this thing is a reward for you." Gao Yuan laughed and took out something from his arms, and threw it to Ye Feng.
"This, what is this thing?" Ye Feng stretched out his hand to catch it. The thing in his hand was a tube, and it was still movable. When he pulled it, there was a small tube inside the big tube.
"This thing is called a telescope!" Gao Yuan reached out and took it, pulled the sleeve away, and looked at the distance in front of him, it was still dark. But the dots of torches on the other side are extremely clear. "This is something that Mingbo has just developed, and it can bring things far away to your eyes."
"Is there such a good thing?" Ye Feng took back the telescope, brought it close to his eyes, and looked at it in a circle. The more he looked, the happier he was. One for each of my subordinates above the battalion."
"You have a big tone!" Gao Yuan laughed, "This thing is expensive. These lenses are all polished by hand now, and the failure rate is high. Now there is only one large lens that can be polished by Mingbo Company. Master, you want to order dozens of them, ha! Just this one, if you count the value, it is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. Ye Feng, you have made a fortune. So rich? But you can’t buy it with just money. Come!"
Ye Feng stuck out his tongue, "It's so expensive? It takes so much effort, so let's forget it. I just have this one. Thank you brother-in-law!" He turned around and ran away.
"This kid. It was originally for you." Gao Yuan laughed.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to go and have a look?" He Weiyuan asked cautiously, because Gao Yuan had no plans to go out.
Gao Yuan, who had already stepped into the threshold with one foot, turned around and said with a smile, "Such a small scene. Is it worth my coming to the front line in person? I had a quarrel in the middle of the night yesterday, and I couldn't sleep well. Now I'm going to make up for it." Got it."
The door slammed shut in front of He Weiyuan. He Weiyuan wandered around in front of the door for a while, but finally couldn't hold back, he stretched out his hand to recruit some soldiers, "Stay here, I'll go to the front and have a look, if the king calls for something later, please notify me quickly. "
"Yes, Commander!"
He Weiyuan laughed heartily, tightened the girdle around his waist, and ran to the outside as if flying, the king would not bother to watch such a lively scene, but he couldn't miss it.
Ye Feng stood on the embankment, beside him, there were ten forts in a row. At this time, the cannons that had been hidden in the warehouse had been dragged out and installed on the forts. Standing darkly on one side, touching the metallic gun barrel, Ye Feng was very excited. It was the first time for a large-scale artillery battle, and it was a heavy artillery. The military region also used artillery when attacking the Lubin fortress area, but it was a small artillery assigned to the army. Here, the heavy artillery is not comparable to the small artillery in terms of range or power.
Below the embankment to the riverside, the soldiers of the 88th Division have already been ready for any attack. Looking at all this, Ye Feng is very proud. This is the result of his years of training, but In the middle of the night, all preparations for the attack were made. The combat battalion, engineering battalion, pontoon bridge battalion, and heavy artillery battalion completed the task exactly as planned. Even the most elite young guards of the big man are nothing more than that.
In one day, it only takes one day for the army commander Chen Bin's large troops to rush over from the rear. Then, there is only one day left for him to attack Yingchuan County.
On the other side, in Yingchuan County City, Gongsun Zhi stepped onto the tower after hearing the news. Looking at the situation on the other side, the corners of his eyes shrank slightly. The Han army was going to attack Yingchuan County City, but they only had more than 10,000 troops. With Yingshui separating them, it was a wrong idea to think that there would be a gap for the general to lead the main force to leave. Yingchuan now has 20,000 soldiers and horses, not only on the city walls, but also on the river embankment, there are also defensive positions. The densely packed bed crossbows and stone cannons there are enough to sink anything that wants to float in the Yingshui River.
"Sun Haifeng, you take people to the embankment to supervise the battle." Gongsun Zhi turned his head and said to his lieutenant Sun Haifeng. "Give me a hard blow, smash whatever they cross the river to the bottom of the river."
"Understood, General Gongsun, just take care! These damned Han people, I let them not even touch the river bank, and they all sank into the river to feed the fish." Sun Haifeng said with a sinister smile.
On the embankment, the Yingchuan soldiers had already been in full battle. The Yingshui River on the other side had been in trouble for most of the night, so they could only accompany the guard for most of the night. There was loud thunder and little rain, but the attack had not yet been launched. Sun Haifeng who got on the embankment also got a little impatient. Could it be that the opponent didn't want to attack in the dark? With the cover of night and the possibility of sneaking in, there would be no openings for them at dawn.
After all, he is still a young doll! Sun Haifeng sneered, brother son who climbed up by relying on his nepotism, can he really know how to fight? He looked up at the sky, and there was already a hint of whiteness in the sky. It was early in the day at this time of year.
The torches on both sides of the bank were brightly lit, and he could see heavily armed soldiers from the opposite side of the river to the embankment, but there were no boats or rafts in the river to cross the river, did they want to swim over?
Sun Haifeng frowned slightly, and if something went wrong, he would be a demon. But where is this monster, but he can't figure it out, which makes him very uncomfortable. As a general, what he is most afraid of is the emergence of such a situation that he does not understand. If he cannot guess the minds of both parties, it means that he will be passive in the next confrontation.
When Sun Haifeng looked up at the sky, Ye Feng on the other side also looked up at the sky.
"Get ready!" His voice was not loud, but extremely powerful.
Ten heavy guns, the soldiers of the ten gun crews were busy in an instant, filled with gunpowder, tamped it down, each solid shell was loaded into the gun bore, and the fuse was hanging from the tail of the gun. Everyone except the gunner Squat down.
"Master Ye, please get out of here!" The battalion commander of the artillery battalion shouted to his division commander.
"Okay, the position here is yours, mine is below!" Ye Feng smiled: "Brother Guo, you have to be more accurate."
"Don't worry, Commander, we have been thinking about shooting Zhuyuan for a long time in our artillery battalion. Every gunner is very proficient, and it is absolutely accurate."
"You **** on the other side, you're going to have **** soon." Ye Feng laughed and walked off the fort. "Boat Bridge Battalion, take action!"
The establishment of the Zhouqiao Battalion, looking at the entire Han army, is only equipped with the 88th Division of the 19th Army. Upon hearing the order from the division commander, the Zhouqiao Battalion, which had already been prepared, immediately moved into action, and it had already been placed on the ground. Rectangular objects like water tanks on the beach were quickly pierced with steel rods. A group of more than a dozen soldiers carried these water tanks to the river, put the water tanks in the river, and one soldier jumped into the water. Going up, several other soldiers held down the water tank to prevent him from floating with the water. An iron rod passed through the iron ring at one corner of the water tank, swung the sledgehammer, and with a few bangs, the water tank was fixed in the river.
Then the second one, and the third one, the iron bars fixing the water tank are getting longer and longer, and the bridge deck formed by this water tank extends farther and farther into the river~IndoMTL.com~It’s less than a stick of incense After a while, more than a dozen such pontoon bridges have quickly extended to the middle of the river above the river.
On the other side, Tan Haifeng's eyes widened. They are building a pontoon bridge, but why are they moving so fast? More than a dozen bridges stretched to the center of the river in the blink of an eye. At this speed, they would be able to reach this side in a short while.
"Stone cannon, open fire and sink them!" Sun Haifeng jumped up and shouted sharply. Only then did he understand that the other party didn't need a boat, and they didn't plan to use a boat at all. bridge.
The calm on both sides of the river was broken by the howling sound of stone cannons. Stone bombs fell from the sky, stirring up waves in the river. From time to time, water tanks were hit and overturned. The soldiers of the boat bridge battalion of the Han army turned over and fell into the water, but immediately, someone would come to make up for it.
"Fire!" The small red flag in the hands of the artillery battalion commander fell heavily.
The torch was lit on the fuse, and the burning fuse was the most beautiful music in the world to the ears of these artillerymen. Amidst the loud bangs, the smoke filled the air, and the artillery positions were instantly destroyed. The smoke filled the air, and ten red iron **** weighing more than ten kilograms fell in the air to the opposite Yingchuan Army's position with a sharp whistling sound. (To be continued.)
