Chapter 901: Lin'an falls

Xue Gui is a lieutenant under the command of Sima.
Since Sima joined the merchant council, he has been assigned to the Lin'an front line to resist the imperial army.
For nearly two months, they used the sheltering advantage of the trenches to successfully block the imperial army from Lin'an City.
Although there are still a large number of casualties in the daily battles, this mutual shooting has not brought their morale to the brink of collapse.
But today, a different situation has emerged. They have observed the strange behavior of the soldiers of Dayu State, but they just cannot understand why.
Until he saw the dense short sticks flying towards the trench where he was, and then a violent explosion covered a large area, the soldiers in the trench were unprepared at this time.
The explosion caused a large number of soldiers to fall in a pool of blood, and for a time the trenches at the forefront were like on earth.
A grenade exploded not far from Xue Gui, and the powerful shock wave caused him to fall directly to the ground. At the same time, the screams continued to sound.
Xue Gui was stunned, he had never seen such a weapon before, and for a moment he was shaking all over with fright.
It's just that this was the first round. Before they could breathe, the second round of throwing reappeared, and the soldiers who had just gotten up again withstood the second round of bombing.
In this explosion, he heard a nightmare sound, and the charge of Da Yuguo sounded.
On the opposite side, Lu Fei looked excited. The 800 grenades thrown in two rounds covered an area of ​​more than 100 meters, which is equivalent to eight grenades exploding per meter.
Taking advantage of the panic caused by the bombing, Lu Fei decided to focus on breaking through the 100-meter defensive area. Once in the trench, the convenient way of loading the breech gun will give full play to its advantages.
"Go!"
In the sound of the charge, the company commander, the battalion commander, and the regiment commander took the lead in the charge, one by one. The Da Yu Law stipulates that officers must take the lead in the charge, and those who flinch will be removed from their duties and transferred to the military court.
The reason for this rule is to promote the army's spirit of fighting bravely.
The soldiers screamed and rushed forward when they saw their leader charging.
In the military, they never jealous of their officers, and some are just in awe, because they understand that people who can become officers are definitely not counselors.
Especially those officers with royal clan backgrounds, today's saints have stricter requirements on them. All royal children must be exemplary in civil and battlefields, and charging on the battlefield is also the front line.
For this reason, the soldiers increasingly identify with the people of the royal family. Under the leadership of the current sage, the royal family means taking on more responsibilities.
Although Lu Fei wanted to rush over like soldiers with a gun, he could not be so reckless as the commander of the battle.
Holding the telescope, he can only worry in his heart.
After the charge was launched, the Lin'an army, which was stunned by the bombing, could not immediately organize an effective resistance, and the sporadic gunfire was not enough to stop the imperial army's charge.
Soon, the first group of soldiers rushed to the trench. Some of them jumped into the trench with their bayonet-mounted Falcon rifles, while the other soldiers squatted or lay down for fire cover.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery on the trench position of the Sima Army began to fire. The emplacement protruding from the trench was pouring solid rounds of artillery fire, and some artillery began to use grape shells.
Under the artillery fire, the soldiers on the charge began to suffer casualties. They immediately searched for obstacles on the battlefield, while the soldiers on the flat ground resorted to bending and shooting.
"Kill the opponent's artillery! Damn, where did they get the artillery from?" Lu Fei was annoyed.
During this period of time, their field artillery destroyed almost all the short-range artillery of the rich family, but a batch of artillery appeared today.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery loaded with the bombardment immediately began to shell the opposing turrets, and turrets were overturned in the explosion.
Under the suppression of one's own artillery, Sima's artillery ceased. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the second group of regiments began to charge.
At this time, the soldiers of the first regiment fought hand-to-hand with Sima's army in the trenches.
The grenadiers were mixed with muskets. From time to time, they threw grenades at the dense crowd that rushed toward the other side, and at the same time showed their superiority by rear-loading rifles.
Soldiers ran around flexibly in the trenches and could fill bullets in any position. In contrast, Sima's soldiers could only stand rigidly to load bullets, and this became the target of imperial soldiers.
For a time, Sima soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the central trench was successfully breached.
Seeing that his soldiers had the advantage, Lu Fei ordered all the soldiers to press on, and the two-month stalemate was finally broken.
"kill!"
Under his order, the remaining 30,000 soldiers launched a collective charge.
At the same time, Luo Xin also launched a charge in Lin'an Xicheng, facing the attack of more than 60,000 royal soldiers, Sima's army finally collapsed.
The trench lost its advantage, and they could not take advantage of the royal soldiers' firearms.
Especially in the face of the skilled bayonet technique of the royal soldiers, they have no hope of victory in hand-to-hand combat.
Sima Hao on the Lin'an city wall saw everything in his eyes, anxiously in his heart. Now the trenches they dug were constantly occupied, soldiers rushed to flee, and the war began to show a one-sided situation.
Just as he was desperate, he suddenly saw four or five hot air balloons floating towards Lin'an City.
"Damn, damn!" Sima Hao cursed. He has been accustomed to seeing this kind of hot air balloon for the past two months, and every time these hot air balloons arrive, they will throw down a large amount of paper.
These papers are full of words, all blaming them as anti-thief, and at the same time preaching the ongoing reforms outside Lin'an.
Perhaps this defeat was related to the sudden emergence of new weapons, but he also understood that the propaganda during this period of time had shaken many soldiers' minds~EbookFREE.me~The other wealthy families on the wall suddenly panicked. Now Linan City In an isolated city, the task assigned to them by the council is to hold on to Lin'an City and wait for support.
But now they have been holding on for two months, and the council has not sent a soldier, and now Sima has finally realized a problem.
The Cao Kun just used it to delay the speed of the royal army's southward move. All the promises he gave were false.
It's just that it's too late to think about it now. The royal soldiers seem to have attacked the city, and the artillery of the royal army has also pushed the artillery to the front of the city.
"Boom boom boom..."
The flash of fire and smoke from hundreds of artillery made Sima Hao dizzy, and he laughed like crazy when he looked at the broken soldiers.
"It's the heaven that wants to kill my Sima family, it's not my fault." Sima Hao is like a demon.
In his roar, the gate of Lin'an City collapsed, and the royal soldiers rushed into Lin'an City in the midst of the sky-shaking cry of killing.
