After hearing Chen Zhishen's order, Yang Su couldn't help but frowned.
There is still not much distance between the Han army and the Northern Zhou army. The distance is probably the distance of a spear. In front of cannonballs, this distance is nothing.
Chen Zhishen even ordered to shoot at nearby enemies. Doesn't this mean that he is also putting his own people under the threat of artillery? Once such things as artillery shells fall among his own troops, they are likely to cause severe damage.
My own morale.
Yang Su wanted to say something, but Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to stop him.
Yang Su was silent for a moment. Did His Majesty really not intend to interfere with Chen Zhishen's command?
The Han army's artillery roared again, and the death aura caused by the shells not only filled the rear of the enemy's formation, but also shrouded the entire battlefield.
It is very likely that your own artillery shells will explode right next to you, but often while injuring your own people, they will inevitably take away more enemies.
Fires were everywhere, and the Northern Zhou army was hit so hard that they were all stunned. Did these enemies really not want their lives? They actually fired at their own people?
The Han soldiers were not frightened by Chen Zhishen's order. The soldiers who came ashore first were already prepared for a narrow escape, and their own artillery fire was only helping them to deal with the many enemies who were so close at hand.
The enemy. Once a cannonball passes by, the Han army will make a profit no matter what.
If you make money, that's good.
Although those artillery pieces are a bit cheaper.
Led by several generals who had already crossed the Yishui River, the Han army once again launched a counterattack against the enemy. Because their artillery fire was getting closer and closer, the Han army did not advance in depth like last time, but just chose
Expanding the defense line outwards in several suitable places is also to provide more space for the soldiers landing later.
There were more and more crossbowmen on the north bank of the river. Together with the musketeers, they were finally able to suppress the enemy. Of course, this also relied largely on the bombardment of Han artillery.
Even the Northern Zhou army, which wanted to live and die with Yishui, was a little overwhelmed by the Nanman's desperate fighting style. Some Northern Zhou soldiers began to want to retreat, but Wang Qian had long expected that Chen Zhishen would definitely be desperate.
There is no way to fight. This guy is famous for risking his life. Now the Han army urgently needs to break through Yishui and then go north to Luoyang, so the attack will be very fierce.
However, Wang Qian also believed that as long as he could survive Chen Zhishen's first round of attack, there would be enough opportunities to counterattack and make Yishui really become a sad place for the Han army!
Therefore, Wang Qian had already made sufficient preparations before the battle began.
Every soldier of the Northern Zhou Dynasty got the opportunity to feast and drink. Because he was backed by an important town like Luoyang, Wang Qian did have the confidence to reward the three armies. If you eat other people's food and drink other people's food, you will naturally have to work hard for others.
What's more, there is a lot of gold and silver directly raised as a reward. As long as the battle is won, everyone will have a share.
These Northern Zhou soldiers also expected to experience wealth and tenderness after defeating the enemy. Of course, the prerequisite for killing the enemy and working harder to get money was victory. There would be no share in turning around and running away.
Therefore, their attack was very desperate, but after all, such desperate efforts had a limit. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were not desperate enough to rush forward against the powerful gunfire of the Han army. They also had fear. No matter how much money they had, they would still have to fight for their lives.
It’s only when you have the destiny to spend it.
Therefore, Wang Qian was very smart to arrange a war supervisory team at the back of the team. I don’t know since when, the warlord war team has become the standard equipment of the Northern Zhou army. Although as the commander, Wang Qian knew very well that the war supervisory team itself was
It is very damaging to morale. After all, this means that the general does not trust the soldiers under his command at all. In this case, how can you make the soldiers willingly obey your orders and sacrifice their lives for you?
But without a supervising team, the battle situation would probably be more difficult to control.
In order to encourage the soldiers to move forward harder, Wang Qian also asked his trusted generals to be at the forefront. At the same time, he personally beat drums to encourage the army to attack. If Wang Qian had not made so many preparations, the Northern Zhou army would not have been able to do so.
It's impossible to hold on until now.
Although they were more numerous, they did not have such high fighting spirit when faced with the Han soldiers who were fighting against the odds, roaring artillery and stone bullets that could hit their heads at any time.
For the soldiers of the Han army, Yishui is behind them. They have no way to retreat, and there are artillery roaring behind them from time to time. This is undoubtedly telling them that the big Han and countless Paoze brothers are standing with them!
When Li Xingchen's flag appeared on the hillside of the artillery position on the other side, the Han army soldiers burst into earth-shaking cheers.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
In their eyes, there is no difference between His Majesty and God.
Your Majesty's appearance means victory!
"Big Han!" Another group of Han soldiers came ashore, and the Han army's attack began to become fierce.
The musketeers fired almost directly against the enemy's chest. All the muskets had bayonets attached to them. As long as the enemy took another step forward, they would directly shoot them with their muskets and fight with the bayonets. No one was afraid of anyone.
Of course, other Han soldiers did not intend to give them this opportunity.
The crossbowmen are also advancing to shoot, providing supplementary firepower for the musketeers. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who are lucky enough to escape from the crossbows and muskets will face the Han army's sword, shield and spearmen. These attacks
The scattered fish that slipped through the net were no match for the Han army at all.
The cyan flags fluttered feebly from the flagpole, fell to the ground, and were trampled by countless people coming and going, and soon merged with the mud.
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty began to retreat. Of course, they were definitely not willing to accept such a result. Every step forward by the Han army soldiers meant that both sides had to pay a heavy price. The corpses were spread out layer by layer, and the river beach was dyed with blood.
red.
In such a battle, one has to go ashore and the other has to defend. There are almost no strategies and tactics to talk about. What is competing is the fighting spirit and tenacity of the soldiers on both sides.
Whoever is not afraid of death and who can kill more enemies will be able to persevere.
In this regard, the Northern Zhou army was obviously no match for the Han army, but in the face of the enemy's increasingly fierce attacks, most of the Zhou soldiers were still desperately resisting. Perhaps they also hoped that they could at least hold on until
When Wang Qian gave the order to retreat, he even had a chance to push the enemy into the river!
But most people should know by now that this is nothing more than a miracle.
Miracles don't happen that easily.
The sound of war horses sounded faintly.
The soldiers fighting on the battlefield have long forgotten themselves, and naturally they don't care about the neighing of horses in the distance.
