Chapter 916 Attack
One day later, all the cannons and heavy artillery equipped by the Fourth Army of Zhao Yun were gathered on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and they raised their black holes to prepare for firing. If you have read this chapter, please move to: Chinese.in. Read the latest chapter
At the same time, more than ten warships of the navy also gathered on the North Shore Wharf, looking ready to go...
Of course, the Tiger and Leopard Army on the north bank of the Yangtze River cannot hide the new imperial army on the south bank.
Besides, Zhao Yun did not intend to hide anything from the new army of the court.
Seeing that the Tiger and Leopard Army had already acted as an offensive posture, the court on the south bank of the Yangtze River did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered the troops to prepare for the battle. The hidden red cannons quickly exposed their hideous guns. One by one, the new imperial army quickly attacked their defense areas under the leadership of their respective officers.
Not only that, the catapult cart that the imperial court spent a lot of effort to build was quickly assembled by the official army.
Of course, in the next battle, these catapults were not launching stones, but pots filled with tinder oil.
Just when both the enemy and us are ready to fight and are waiting for the other party to take action first.
Zhao Yun, who was observing every move of the new imperial army on the south bank of the Yangtze River, put down his telescope and ordered with a serious face...
"The Chief of Staff...can begin..."
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, three roars of cannons sounded behind him. Then, the harsh roar of the air broke through the air reached everyone's ears.
Of course, the scream was replaced by three explosions not long after.
With the sound of explosions, three signal flares that had flew to the sky above everyone's heads fifty battles, and three colorful fireworks exploded directly in the air. It was a very rumor...
There is no doubt that these three signal flares with screaming sounds represent Zhao Yun's order to start attacking.
Not long after the artillery and signal flare exploded, a series of deafening roars sounded at several artillery positions along the Yangtze River.
When Zhao Yun looked at these artillery positions in accordance with the sound, the thick white smoke produced by more than 100 heavy artillery artillery bombardment had completely enveloped the artillery positions.
At the same time, more than a hundred flowering bullets also flew over the Yangtze River and flew to the south bank of the Yangtze River with a harsh whistle through the air.
Soon, balls of orange-red fireballs rose into the air at the New Army positions of the imperial court on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Then, the violent explosion of flowering bombs reached the ears of the army commander Zhao Yun.
Although it is impossible to see clearly the specific damage caused by more than 100 flowering bullets to the new army in the court. However, after each round of flowering bullet explosion, the bodies of the new army soldiers who soared into the air with the fireballs were still seen through the telescope. It is clear that Zhao Yun's eyes...
From this point alone, Zhao Yun was sure that the more than 100 heavy artillery under his command would have caused considerable casualties to the new imperial army on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Thinking of this, a hint of joy appeared directly on Zhao Yun's face.
Then, without any hesitation, he ordered his subordinates around him: "The heavy artillery force will continue to launch artillery fire strikes on the new imperial army positions on the south bank of the Yangtze River... After ten rounds of flowering bombs, the crossing forces will set off immediately..."
"Even if we can't cross the Yangtze River in one go, I will use a clever offensive today to attack all the defensive methods of the new imperial army on the other side of the Yangtze River, laying the foundation for our future general offensive..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered something, quickly called the Chief of Staff who was about to leave, and continued: "Also,
Tell more than a dozen division commanders who participated in the attack that since our mission is not to fight the Yangtze River, then during the attack, each division must control the casualties of the troops... After the day of battle, which unit loses more than the general's expectations, he will remove his post..."
All the ten rounds of flowering bullets were not used for a long time before they were shot.
At this moment, the south bank of the Yangtze River, baptized by more than a thousand flowering bullets, has fallen into a sea of fire.
At this time, the ten naval light warships that had already been ready to go were like sharp arrows. They quickly left the dock and rushed towards the other side of the Yangtze River. At the same time, the two main guns at the head of the warship were not idle, and they continued to shoot flowering bullets forward.
Soon, more than a dozen warships rushed forward hundreds of steps.
At this time, the new imperial army, who had been passively beaten, finally made a move.
Several hidden artillery positions roared one after another.
With the sound of anger, dozens of flowering bullets with screams directly crossed the New Army's position that had been completely submerged by artillery fire and smashed open to the river where more than a dozen warships were located.
The flowering bullet exploded when it fell into the water. Thick water columns quickly soared into the air and stood among more than a dozen warships on the river.
Fortunately for more than ten warships, more than forty flowering bullets in the first round, none of them really hit the warship.
However, even so, there were still three warships that leaked through the cabin due to the close explosion of the flowering bullets.
However, such a small problem cannot affect the combat capability of the entire warship.
Between dozens of water columns that were flying in the air, more than a dozen warships continued to advance to the other side of the Yangtze River at their fastest speed.
However, more than a dozen warships had just advanced less than twenty steps forward, and the whistle made by a new round of flowering bullets passing through the sky had once again reached their ears.
More than a dozen large warships had no time to react, and the flowering bullets smashed at the water they were on, and explosions occurred one after another...
This time, more than a dozen warships were not so lucky.
Two warships were hit by flowering bullets one after another, and two large holes were blown out of the thick deck. Of course, the Tiger and Leopard Army gathered on the deck also lost a platoon of troops in the explosion of two flowering bullets...
Zhao Yun, who had been standing on the shore high ground to watch the battle, undoubtedly witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.
The two flowering bullets exploded on the deck of the warship, and Zhao Yun frowned. Then, he shouted with dissatisfaction: "What are the artillery soldiers doing? Haven't found the official artillery position yet... Do they plan to watch the more than ten warships we attacked were destroyed by the official army's red cannons..."
Facing Zhao Yun, who might get angry at any time, the Chief of Staff quickly replied: "Captain, it's almost... The heavy artillery unit has already drawn a regiment of heavy artillery to counterattack... Wait for a while, the red cannons of the official army cannons can't be called..."
As soon as the Chief of Staff finished speaking, the heavy artillery position that had been silent for a short time had once again heard a deafening roar.
