Chapter 1148: The Price
As soon as Bi Xiaolang got on the city wall, he immediately heard the sound of war drums playing tightly, and the sound of the Dongjiang army's neat steps was mixed with the blood-pumping war drums.
The Dongjiang Army's formation has always emphasized military discipline, and it marched forward in a uniform manner, and the momentum and military appearance that erupted were beyond the reach of other enemy troops.
Feeling the thunderous footsteps of the Dongjiang Army, Xiaolang's face immediately became embarrassed. Compared with the military appearance of the Dongjiang Army, and then looking back at his subordinates, he has already judged in Xiaolang's heart that he will definitely be defeated.
"Artillery, ignition!"
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded beside Yebi Xiaolang.
More than a dozen artillery pieces placed on the city wall let out a roar, and the black solid bullets were fired into the sky, and then smashed down in a parabolic situation towards the Dongjiang army that was striding in.
"Watch out for artillery, shieldmen for defense!" Chen Jisheng heard the sound of cannons on the city wall and immediately gave orders.
The 1,000 shieldmen immediately raised their shields above their heads, forming a seamless roof. In the face of solid shells falling from the air, these shields are often defenseless. However, these shieldmen are systematically trained, and they all know how to maximize the damage caused by shells.
"Bumper ......"
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen shells had already exploded, landing right on the shield.
With only a dozen solid shells in an extremely limited area, the damage caused by a shield array of a thousand people is negligible. The damage caused by solid shells is not caused by the moment they are dropped, but by the time they bounce and roll after they are dropped, they cause a large area of casualties.
The shield array of the Dongjiang Army seemed to be to stop the rolling of the shells, and after they felt the force of their shields, they would tilt slightly. In this way, you can not only unload the impact of the shell, but also protect yourself as much as possible. But the force of a shell of about ten catties falling from a high altitude is obviously not a little trick to avoid injury.
After a dozen shieldmen came into contact with the cannonballs, they all inevitably suffered varying degrees of damage. Some even vomited blood and died on the spot, but the dead and wounded Dongjiang troops also landed safely in exchange for the shells, and did not pose a threat to other soldiers.
Next to Chen Jisheng was a dead sergeant, accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, but at this moment, Chen Jisheng was still extremely angry in his heart. In Chen Jisheng's heart, he has secretly strengthened his confidence, and he will never let these sergeants who died for other comrades die in vain.
The vanguard battalion was still more than 300 paces away from the city gate in front of it at this moment, and it would be subjected to at least two rounds of shelling before reaching its destination. And after the bombardment, there will be even more frenzied attacks, with sassal wood and rolling stones and hot oil, which are the deadliest things. There are 1,000 shield soldiers, and in the end, there are still a few people who can survive, Chen Jisheng has no foundation in his heart. All he knew was that he had to blow open the gates of the city to make way for the army behind, and that he could not let these brothers who died in battle die in vain.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, another roar of artillery rang out. A second wave of enemy artillery attacks followed, and as the vanguard battalion approached, the intensity of the artillery attack increased. This time, more than a dozen soldiers who were attacked by artillery shells, without exception, all vomited blood and died on the spot.
The war drums of the Dongjiang Army became more and more rapid at this time, and the army continued to speed up with the beat of the drums. There were only more than two hundred steps left in front of him, and the third wave of attacks would come at any time, and the soldiers of the vanguard battalion were also under more pressure.
Chen Jisheng's voice sounded at the right time: "Steady, steady, don't be impatient, follow the drumbeat and step by step, all for Lao Tzu to stabilize." ”
Chen Jisheng's voice seemed to be full of magic power, and the military spirit of the shield battalion, which had begun to be impetuous, gradually regained its calm in Chen Jisheng's roar.
Haoxiao followed Chen Jisheng's side, he saw all this in his eyes, and admired Chen Jisheng more and more. He is also a general of the unified army, but he knows that he will not be able to achieve the realm of Chen Jisheng no matter what.
The Japanese defenders on the city wall began to panic, and they frowned even more than Xiaolang. Seeing that after the Dongjiang Army suffered two shellings, it was still in a strict formation and did not mess up at all. From this point of view, the Dongjiang Army has completely defeated its own subordinates. After Xiaolang got such a conclusion, a sense of sadness inexplicably appeared in his heart.
"The death of the Japanese country is also ......" also sighed softer than Xiaolang!
Contrary to Yebi Xiaolang, Mao Wenlong at this moment is very satisfied with the performance of Chen Jisheng's pioneer camp. In the face of death, the pioneer battalion showed great courage, which is not a casual army can have such a military soul.
"Jisheng, this kid seems to have grown a lot, and he has led the pioneer camp well." Mao Wenlong chuckled and praised.
"The pioneer battalion led by Brother Jisheng is indeed a unique existence in the army, and the brothers in the army admire the pioneer battalion the most, and the pioneer battalion is admired the most. Brother Jisheng is also a role model for the whole army in the army! Chen Qiyue answered, and praised Chen Jisheng fiercely.
"Oh, and such a thing?" Mao Wenlong was quite surprised.
He has always known Chen Jisheng's ability, and when he came out of Dongjiang Town, Chen Jisheng has been following Mao Wenlong's side. Mao Wenlong knows him very well, and has witnessed Chen Jisheng's growth all the way. Chen Jisheng is obviously just a martial artist, his strategies are all honed from actual combat, and he has experienced no less than a hundred battles. Chen Jisheng survived well, which is enough to prove that his ability is not small.
"Brother Jisheng is now a legendary figure in the army, if the general soldier is free, you can know the truth by listening to the gossip of the soldiers in the army." Chen Qiyue replied with a smile.
Mao Wenlong nodded and returned his gaze to the battlefield. The vanguard battalion had already approached a few dozen paces from the city wall, and was now under heavy attack from the enemy. Hot oil, sassal wood, and rolling stones rained down on the city walls, and the casualties of the pioneer battalion continued to increase. In the rear of the vanguard battalion, the fire command battalion had already begun to return fire fiercely, and the rain of bullets and bullets caused great casualties to the enemy.
In the bloody battle between the two armies, there were casualties among each other, and the shield array, which was originally heavily defended, had already suffered more than half of the casualties at this time. Chen Jisheng's eyes were red, he didn't care about the death of his companions around him, his eyes were always staring at the city gate cave dozens of steps ahead.
"Cover, Haoxiao, it's our turn!" Chen Jisheng suddenly broke off and quickly checked the powder bag he was carrying.
"Yes, big brother!" Hao Xiao responded loudly, and then learned from Chen Jisheng to check the gunpowder bag on his body.
Dozens of shieldmen had already shielded the two of them, and then began to rush towards the city gate at a faster pace.
The Japanese on the city wall apparently noticed this rushing enemy army, and immediately a Japanese general began to attack with his soldiers.
