Chapter 178: War

ps: Thank you for your support in winter!
Two days later, Governor Li Yu of Haiphong led a total of 13,000 men from His Majesty's regular army and militia to advance to Halongying Village.
The Annan troops approached Halongying Village without encountering resistance on the way, which strengthened Li Yu's determination to outrun the Chinese troops quickly.
In front of a defensive position formed by a trench in the outermost area of ​​Halong Yingzhai, Li Yu took the telescope sent by his generals and carefully observed the Chinese troops on the position.
After about a minute of observation, Li Yu returned the telescope to Chen Wuyuan.
"The Tang rebels certainly did not expect that the officer would gather in the army for crusade." Li Yu grasped the momentum, pretending to be a commander, and taught his generals: "The army from the kingdom raided, the rebels did not have time to build a solid line of defense, but Digging two or three pits just wanted to resist the army of the dynasty of the kingdom, and it was really a self-death! "
"The Governor is very opinionated, and the frontier position of the front bandits is rude, and no artillery is arranged. The rebel leader is really like Nei Ying said. He left the dragon and sailed out to the sea two days ago, or it was not accessible to the army. Generation, it is a reckless generation to solicit banditry with the aid of a few dollars. "
"General Chen deserves to be a general who fought with his official, and soon found out that the rebels were false and real and did a good job."
Li Yu is praised by professionals, so that he can set off his wisdom.
"The commander of the front line will be in charge of General Chen, and my officer will sit in the army and wait for the general's victory."
"Finally obey!" ...
On the wooden floor of Halongying Village, Ye Chenglin stood beside Sun Bin and watched the situation on the front.
"Mr. Sun, his subordinates don't understand why the artillery is not placed at the forefront?" Ye Chenglin looked at the hundreds of soldiers alone on the first line of defense before the two armies had fought, and asked.
"The artillery is a weapon on the battlefield. Arranging it in the forward position can attack the morale of the enemy and help our army defend the position. Five machine guns. "
"Five machine guns can match five artillery?"
Ye Chenglin has seen five seventy-five millimeter wild artillery guns unloaded from armed merchant ships. The dark, short and thick artillery shells and the neatly arranged shells have made him very close. After watching the 75-mm field gun test firing, he even wanted to see five wild guns firing on Annan's forces on the battlefield.
"Five artillery firing together can suppress the attack speed of the Annan troops. In the early stages of the attack, the morale of the troops was strong. Placing the artillery in the forward formation could partially kill them, but they could not be defeated.
Only by causing a large number of casualties to Annan troops can they suppress their morale, and then the whole army will launch a reaction and lay a victory for the battle. "
"With the help of five bulky machine guns, it can cause huge casualties to Annans?" Ye Chenglin didn't agree.
"Hehe, Ye Yingchang did not follow Shizi to fight. In South America, Shizi's machine gun tactics played a significant role.
Ye Ying will open his eyes wide for a long time, and take a closer look at how our machine gun troops killed and killed Annan soldiers. "
"I will wait and see." ...
"Alas!" More than a dozen Annan drummers struck the bones, and the dull and long drum sounds spread outside Qiba Li. An An soldiers squatting in the four or five li long camp will hear the drums and direct them Lined up under the leadership of the officer, ready to attack.
With all the troops gathered, Annan Army ’s chief Chen Wuyuan pulled out his sabre, and he boldly shouted: "Destroy the bandits, and make achievements in this battle!"
Chen Wuyuan's voice was very loud, but the ordinary soldiers below did not cater to the response of the general. He was standing on the ground listlessly. Although he was wearing military uniform and holding a weapon in his hand, he did not look like a soldier.
"You, you, why do you wrinkle one by one! General Chen led everyone to destroy the rebels, and gave some energy to Lao Tzu!" Chen Yuanjia spoke without the soldier's response, and the next few intermediate generals faced the lessons. soldier.
The soldiers responded very little, and Chen Yuanjia's face was a bit unreliable. He shook the fat on his face, holding back the emotion of wanting to get angry, and loudly said again: "The Governor has the leader. Those who broke into the Tang bandits' position first will receive one hundred and two silver. The leader of the bandit rewards the silver! "
"Victory wins!" Chen Yuanjia announced the reward issued by the governor, and the soldiers finally burst into cries.
"Quiet!" Chen Yuanjia said again to stop the cluttered troops. The obese body took two steps forward, and he pointed his sword to the Chinese position in a spirited manner: "The whole army listened to my instructions, the target thief position, attack!"
"Boom!" Chen Yuanjia waved his sword down, and the prepared Annan artillery unit immediately fired artillery shells.
In order to conquer Halong Yingzhai, Li Yu dispatched more than 60 artillery pieces from various places, and more than 60 artillery fired together. The huge roar instantly obscured other sounds on the battlefield.
"Cough." Chen Zongbai leaned down to hide in the trenches of the Chinese army's defense line, because the smell of the cannonball hit his throat and coughed twice.
"Brother Chen, there are a lot of guns for Annans in Dog Day!"
Wu Fengdian cried loudly.
"His mother has at least four or five artillery pieces. It seems that the old boy from Li Yu has brought all the artillery pieces from Haiphong Province!"
Chen Zongbai couldn't help cursing, and the cat asked loudly, "How is the line of defense? Are the brethren injured or not?"
"The line of defense is okay, the brothers are safe in hiding in the trenches!" Wu Fengdian said carefully and then extended his head to check the position environment: "His mother Annan artillery did not aim, and the shells flew behind the position."
"Hey, Annan Bing is not ignorant of the virtues of Brother Wu. It ’s our turn to wait for them to finish firing!" ...
After the first round of artillery salvo, the intermittent artillery fire lasted for about five or six minutes. When the last artillery fire stopped, the Annan infantry gathered on the front line began to attack under the leadership of grass-roots officers.
"Bangbang" is four or five hundred meters away from the Chinese army's defense line.
"Brothers, keep calm, wait until the Annan enters a large range of 300 meters before firing!" The flying bullets dropped in front of the position, and several experienced Defence Force officers loudly reminded the young people who had just joined the army to prevent them from becoming too nervous.
"Mr. Zhou, this ghost is really as powerful as you said?" A peasant army soldier pointed at the heavy machine gun in the machine gun position.
"That is to say, when I was fighting with the world in South America, a machine gun suddenly rushed out, and none of the enemies stood up!" The machine gunner was an old soldier dispatched by Sun Bin from the 300 National Defense Forces, talking. There is a sense of pride.
"Well, that little man is assured." The soldiers of the peasant army glanced at the crowd of Annan soldiers, and the nervousness was calmed down.
"Brother Wu, my brother reminds you that you study the battlefield, and maybe you can become an officer like me in the future." The machine gunner is a veteran with a lot of experience because he followed Sun Bin to Nanyang and was promoted to The second lieutenant officer, so not only did not feel nervous and anxious when facing the Annan soldiers in front of the position, but also a sense of anticipation to obtain military achievements.
"Yes ..." The peasant army soldier nodded back, focusing mainly on the Annan soldiers in the position.
"Mr. Zhou, Annan is here!"
"Don't make a fuss, I look at it!" The machine gunner blamed and said to himself: "30 steps, 20 steps, 10 steps ... enter the shooting range!" The last sentence fell, and the machine gunner immediately shook Gart. Forest heavy machine gun firing wrench,
Da Da Da
crisp machine gun firing sounded, Gatling heavy machine gun with nine shooting holes continuously fired bullets, Annan soldiers swarming in front of the position fell in rows ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ Get ready for spare bullets! "As the machine gunner operated the machine gun, he loudly reminded the three ammunition players who were standing aside.
The Gatling heavy machine gun fired three hundred rounds per minute. The bullets in the machine gun quickly consumed more than half, while the three soldier soldiers of the peasant army responsible for loading the ammunition were caught for the first time when they saw the lethality of the machine gun.
"Why are you still confused, get the ammunition quickly!" The machine gunner slumped angrily on a soldier.
"Yes, yes," the soldiers who responded quickly stood up, one of the three cleared the cartridge case left after firing, and the other two joined forces to refill the ammunition.
After intense loading, the Gatling machine gun fired again, and the sound of "Da Da Da" became a nightmare for Annan soldiers. All the soldiers fell within the range of the machine gun fire.
Less than half an hour after the war, more than a thousand soldiers were killed or injured on the front lines of the Annan Forces.
The Annan army is a backward feudal army, with a thousand casualties accounting for nearly one-tenth of the total number of Annan troops, close to the brink of Annan's collapse.
"Monster!" The heavy machine gun that first appeared on the Annan battlefield scared the courage of Annan soldiers at the front of the position. I don't know which soldier shouted first, and then the other soldiers backed off and continued to attack the rear. Bumped together.
"Stay steady, who dare to retreat and kill him!"
General Annan, who supervised the battle in the rear, shot a soldier who had escaped with a single shot, and had just deterred a group of defeated soldiers, and a larger army collapsed in front of the front.
"The general will quickly retreat, the army will lose, and it will be too late to retreat later!"
"Well! Soldiers are defeated like a mountain, and the strength of one person cannot return to the sky." The sergeant warned with a sigh, but reluctantly followed his soldiers to retreat to the rear.
