"Woo..."

Amidst the piercing sound of bugles, tens of thousands of new soldiers from Gongdu, who were already somewhat numb, under the scorching sun at noon, carried ladders, pushed rams, and trebuchets towards Wushu Slope under the command of their respective generals.

The Fengwu Army encamped and launched a brave and death-defying charge.

"Brothers! Kill all these Zhou rebels and defend our country!"

"General Wang has already promised to defeat these Zhou rebels. He will ask for credit from the king for us. We will get whatever we want!"

"The head of a Zhou rebel is worth ten taels of silver! Whoever rushes into their camp first will be promoted to the third level. It's time for brothers to get promoted and make a fortune!"

···············

···············

In the face of these temptations, the tens of thousands of Gongdu's new troops began to gradually forget about it. Two days ago, their heads were bruised and bloody at Wushupo. A little excitement began to appear in their numb expressions. They held up their shields to protect their bodies.

Step by step, we approached Wushu Slope.

Yuan Song, who was holding a telescope on the observation deck, was silently calculating the distance in his heart.

"Three hundred feet... Two hundred feet... One hundred and fifty feet... One hundred feet... Eighty feet..."

Seeing that the charging enemy troops were already within his own range, Yuan Song did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand directly and said:

"Order the sharpshooters to start shooting! Give me the red cannon and blast it hard where there are many enemy soldiers!"

"yes!"

Yuan Song gave the order, and the firearms troops in the camp, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately began to move, loading, aiming, igniting, and firing. Merciless shells that took human lives fell on the ranks of the new army in Gongdu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Under this ferocious bombardment, the momentum of the charge, which had been very enthusiastic just a second ago, suddenly stalled. The soldiers pulling the trebuchet began to prepare to deploy the trebuchet to throw stones at the Zhou army in the camp to fight back. However, just as

At this time, one hundred sharpshooters who were carefully selected by Yuan Song and wielded razor guns also began their precise shooting.

When the Gongdu soldiers operating the trebuchets were about to adjust their distance and aim, bullets hit their bodies one after another. A dozen people died on the spot and more than twenty people were injured. Seeing this, the guards

The palace soldiers beside the trebuchet also had quick eyes and quick hands, holding up their shields to protect their own people.

But unfortunately, at a distance of fifty feet to eighty feet, the bullets fired by the Polu gun are the death talisman of the King of Hell. Even with the protection of a shield, it is difficult to guarantee that one will not be hit...

·········

As the sharpshooters continued to shoot, the soldiers operating the trebuchets were constantly killed and injured. The soldiers who gradually replaced them had no operating experience at all. Under their operation, the stones thrown by the trebuchets did not deviate from the target.

It just hit too far, and even made a mistake and hit its own army.

Wang Kangxin, who was hiding behind, was immediately angry when he saw this scene. One Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. His face was slightly distorted. He ordered Liu Xiangkun beside him angrily:

"Where's our gunman! Fight back! Fight back!"

Looking at Wang Kangxin's ferocious face, Liu Xiangkun behind him said cautiously:

"I'm telling you, sir, the longest range of the iron cannons and bird guns equipped by our army is fifty feet. The enemy should use the Polu gun. Only the Polu gun can still guarantee shooting accuracy at a distance of fifty feet. Our army

The gunmen can't hit them now..."

It was okay that Lieutenant General Liu Xiangkun didn't explain, but this explanation irritated Wang Kangxin even more. He grabbed Lieutenant General Liu Xiangkun by the collar and roared:

"Polu guns? Didn't I ask Shen Jianzhong to make thousands of Polu guns for you? Are these Polu guns like fire sticks in your hands?"

Feeling Wang Kangxin's murderous eyes, Liu Xiangkun knew that if he couldn't say this well, then with Wang Kangxin's current lunatic character, he would definitely die ugly, so he quickly explained:

"Commander General, listen to me, you bastard Shen Jianzhong. Although they sent a lot of muskets, they all have problems. The brothers below broke them after just a few shots, and some even broke them.

The gun was broken when it was delivered!"

"That's not even mentioning the fire blunderbuss made by Shen Jianzhong. They exploded at every turn. This incident injured many brothers, so the brothers below do not dare to use the fire blunderbuss they made!"

Wang Kangxin's head buzzed as soon as these words came out, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Shen Jianzhong, you are a thief who has misled me. I will kill you!"

After scolding Shen Jianzhong, Wang Kangxin seemed to have thought of something again, staring at the deputy general Liu Xiangkun and said:

"Since there is something wrong with the firecrackers made by Shen Jianzhong, why didn't you report it when you received it? I remember you patting your chest and telling me that there was nothing wrong with this batch of firecrackers?"

In response to Wang Kangxin's inquiry, Lieutenant General Liu Xiangkun was hesitant and speechless. Could he tell Wang Kangxin that there were still three thousand taels of silver sent by Shen Jianzhong along with these firecrackers?

He originally thought that these problems didn't matter at all. He could count them all as losses in daily training. In this way, he could conceal the problem and no one would find the problem. Who would have thought that the Fengwu Army would attack so suddenly and let everyone know the problem?

He was caught off guard and could only let the new army soldiers from Gongdu go to the battlefield with these problematic firecrackers...

Although Liu Xiangkun didn't speak, Wang Kangxin had been in the army for so long, and he still didn't know what was going on. Liu Xiangkun's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he had not completely lost his mind and did not kill the general before the battle.

He ordered in a deep voice:

"Liu Xiangkun, go and charge in front of the formation. If you break into the enemy's camp, I will spare your life. If you can't break into the enemy's camp, you don't have to come back!"

Listening to what Wang Kangxin told him about this near-death mission, Liu Xiangkun's face suddenly showed a look of despair, and he wanted to make a quibble. But before he could speak, he saw Wang Kangxin's cold and bone-chilling heart, and he wanted to kill him.

His eyes were cut to pieces.

Seeing this, Liu Xiangkun rationally gave up the argument. Although it was dangerous to charge into the battle, there was still a glimmer of hope. If he said anything to make Wang Kangxin unhappy at this time, Wang Kangxin would definitely not mind and chop off his head with his own hands!

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xiangkun bowed deeply to Wang Kangxin and said:

"I humbly obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief!"

After saying this, Liu Xiangkun, who felt extremely desperate, turned around and left, preparing to face the trial of his fate...

Just when Wang Kangxin dealt with Liu Xiangkun, the new army of Gongdu finally rushed to the front of the camp after suffering thousands of casualties under the attack of Fengwu Army's red cannons and various types of muskets. Some of them used rams to attack the camp.

They tried to knock a gap into the camp, and some tried to build ladders to cross the camp.

Although the Fengwu soldiers in the camp are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, compared to the Gongdu people who rush to fight and rely solely on their bravery, they are more like a unit, with swordsmen and ax hands holding shields.

In front, they engage in hand-to-hand contact with the enemy, followed by spearmen, and finally the gunmen to provide support to their comrades. The three are interlocked to form a stable formation, covering and cooperating with each other. Every time a soldier falls, someone will replace him.

position and continue killing enemies.

Yuan Song on the lookout couldn't help but glance around, observing the anxious situation on the battlefield. It was obvious that the war had entered the third day and no progress had been made in the attack on the stronghold, so Wang Kangxin was anxious. Now he had to

Playing with yourself.

After a cup of tea, a messenger came to report:

"Report to the general that the enemy has launched a fierce attack in the east, west, and south. Our army has suffered heavy casualties. Please support us!"

When Yuan Song heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he said coldly:

"Although the enemy's offensive on these three sides is fierce, it is just a feint attack! You tell the troops not to be afraid of casualties and give me a hard blow. If anyone loses his position, military law will be enacted!"

"yes!"

Although Wang Kangxin attacked very fiercely and pretended to be very similar, Yuan Song still saw his trick. He feigned attacks on three sides and waited for him to disperse the troops in the northeast corner to support other places. Then he arranged for elite troops to raid the northeast corner.

Make a gap in the northeast corner, and then swallow his entire camp at the point of Arrancar...

Wang Kangxin had a pretty good idea, but he relied on such a strategy to win over himself. He underestimated Yuan himself too much!

After observing the battlefield situation for a while, Yuan Song saw that it was almost the same and ordered the messenger behind him:

"Inform Ye Dong in the northeast corner and ask him to remove half of the military flags and prepare to respond to the enemy! Order the artillery to prepare to concentrate artillery fire in front of the northeast corner!"

"yes!"

After Yuan Song gave this order and it took him less than a cup of tea, one of Wang Kangxin's guards ran up to Wang Kangxin, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Listening to the footsteps approaching, Wang Kangxin, who was in a irritable mood, said impatiently before the guard could speak:

"Don't tell me the casualty count! I don't want to hear that right now!"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, half of the enemy's flag in the northeast corner is gone..."

Before the guard finished speaking, Wang Kangxin, who was still sitting on his chair, stood up in an instant and personally looked at the Fengwu Army camp on Wushu Slope. He saw that the Fengwu Army flag in the northeast corner was really smaller than before.

Somehow, Wang Kangxin felt that all the dark clouds in front of his eyes had dispersed, and a good opportunity to break through the enemy's camp was right in front of him!

In order not to miss this golden opportunity, Wang Kangxin immediately ordered:

"Send the order to Lin Lei. Now is the time for him to take action. Opening a gap will be the first step in this battle! In addition, send the order to Li Yongzhe, Zhao Zai'en, Quan Dazhong and others, and ask them to drag Feng Wu in front of them to death.

Army, we cannot allow any of them to rush to the northeast corner to support us. Our army is in sight of victory. If anyone is timid at this time, don't blame me for being ruthless and sacrifice his head to the flag!"

As Wang Kangxin issued the order, a group of 5,000 elite troops hidden in the formation finally began to move quickly toward the northeast corner of the Wushupo camp.

Looking at the sudden attack of the Gongdu army, Ye Dong, who was responsible for guarding the northeast corner of the camp, had fighting spirit in his eyes. He looked at the friendly forces around him who were fighting fiercely, and there were two or three big cats and kittens on his side. He was already a little nervous.

He was so hungry and thirsty that the appearance of the Gongdu army in front of him was exactly what he wanted...

"How many grenades are left?" Ye Dong asked Deputy General Wang Guangyuan:

After listening to Ye Dong's question, Wang Guangyuan thought for a moment and replied:

"Last night there was a lot of humidity, so some grenades got wet and couldn't be used. There are about 20 or 30 grenades that are still usable now!"

Ye Dong frowned when he heard this number, but still didn't say anything and just ordered:

"As soon as the enemy troops come closer, let the brothers throw all the grenades out and kill as many Gongdu dogs as they can!"

Wang Guangyuan said hesitantly as soon as he said this:

"Lord Commander, I'm afraid there is no leftover grenade division anywhere. If we use them all now, what will happen in the next few days..."

"Why don't we fight without grenades? Without grenades, we still have knives and spears, and we can still send them to the underworld. You don't want to ink anymore, just follow my orders!" Ye Dong said in a deep voice:

Seeing Ye Dong's resolute attitude, Wang Guangyuan could no longer object and took the order to implement the order at the grassroots level.

Lin Lei, who was quickly entrusted by Wang Kangxin, led five thousand elites and rushed to a hundred feet in front of the Wushupo camp. Before Lin Lei could order the soldiers to disperse their formation and charge freely, they heard the sound of

The whistling sound of artillery shells.

As soon as they realized what this was with a look of horror on their faces, more than a dozen artillery shells exploded around them. Immediately, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and there were wails and screams. Hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

With their blood-stained bodies visible, the scene felt like a hell on earth for a moment.

Although he was a little stunned by the sudden artillery attack, Lin Lei was able to be entrusted with important tasks by Wang Kangxin. He immediately shouted to command the surviving soldiers, disperse the formation, do not gather in groups of three or five, and continued to move towards

Wushupo camp launched a charge.

At this time, the terrain in front of the northeast corner of Wushupo Camp was open, which gave the attacker an advantage. Thousands of soldiers under Lin Lei could basically fully deploy here, and they were also separated from each other. In this way,

The damage caused by the red cannon's bombardment to them is not as good as the initial effect...

After finally withstanding the bombardment of the red cannon, the target camp was right in front of him, but before Lin Lei could feel any joy, dozens more grenades flew out of the camp, although the power of the grenades was far less than that of the red cannon.

It was big, but when thrown from such a close distance, the power should not be underestimated. It directly sent away hundreds of palace soldiers who were rushing forward.
