Xue Gui is a lieutenant under the command of the Sima clan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ever since Sima joined the Merchant Council, he has been assigned to the Lin'an front line to fend off the royal army.

For nearly two months, they took advantage of the shelter of the trenches and successfully blocked the royal army, which had been overwhelming all the way, outside the city of Lin'an.

Although there were still a large number of casualties in the daily fighting, this mutual fire did not bring their morale to the brink of collapse.

But today a different situation has arisen, they have observed the strange behavior of the soldiers of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, but they cannot understand why.

Until he saw a dense mass of short sticks flying towards the trench where he was, and then a violent explosion covered a large area, and the soldiers in the trench were defenseless.

The explosion left a large number of soldiers in pools of blood, and for a time the front trenches were like hell on earth.

A grenade exploded not far from Xue Gui, and the powerful shock wave caused him to fall directly to the ground, and at the same time, the terrible screams continued to sound.

Xue Gui was stunned, he had never seen this kind of weapon, and for a while he was so frightened that he trembled.

Only this was the first round, and before they could catch their breath, the second round of throwing appeared again, and the soldiers who had just gotten up endured the second round of bombardment again.

And in this explosion, he heard a nightmarish sound, and the trumpet of the Great Yu Kingdom sounded.

On the other side, Lu Fei looked excited, and the eight hundred grenades thrown in two rounds covered an area of more than 100 meters, which was equivalent to eight grenades exploding per meter.

Taking advantage of the panic caused by the bombing, Lu Fei decided to focus on breaking through this 100-meter defensive area, once entering the trench, the breech gun's convenient loading method will give full play to its advantages.

"Rush!"

In the sound of the trumpet, the company commander, the battalion commander, and the regiment commander took the lead in the charge, and one by one took the lead.

The reason why this rule is in place is to carry forward the army's spirit of fighting bravely.

When the soldiers saw their commander charge, they rushed forward one by one with a scream.

In the army, they are never jealous of their superiors, and some are only in awe, because they understand that those who can become officers are definitely not cowards.

Especially for those officers with royal clan backgrounds, today's saints have stricter requirements for them, and all royal children must set an example whether they are in the civil or on the battlefield, and charging on the battlefield is also the first line.

For this reason, the soldiers increasingly identified with the people of the royal family, which under the leadership of the present saint meant taking on more responsibilities.

Although Lu Fei wanted to rush over with the soldiers with his gun, as the commander of the battle, he couldn't be so reckless.

With the binoculars in hand, he could only be anxious in his heart.

After the charge was launched, the stunned Lin'an army could not immediately organize an effective resistance, and the sporadic gunfire was not enough to stop the charge of the royal army.

Soon, the first group of soldiers rushed to the trench, some of them jumped into the trench with their bayonet rifles on their hands, while others crouched or fell down to cover the fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery on the trench position of the Sima army began to fire, and the batteries protruding from the trench poured solid shell fire again and again, and some of the artillery began to use grape shells.

Under artillery fire, the charging soldiers began to suffer casualties, and they immediately looked for obstacles on the battlefield, while the soldiers on the flat ground took the method of leaning down and shooting.

"Kill all the opponent's artillery! Damn, where did they get the artillery. Lu Fei was annoyed.

During this period of attack, their field artillery destroyed almost all the short-range artillery of the Hao, but I didn't expect another batch of artillery to emerge today.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery loaded with flowering shells immediately began shelling the opponent's batteries, and one after another was overturned in the explosion.

Under the suppression of their own artillery, Sima's artillery stopped, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the second group of soldiers of a regiment began to charge.

At this time, the soldiers of the first regiment engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Sima's army in the trenches.

The grenadiers mingled with muskets, and from time to time they threw grenades at the rushing crowd, while the breech-loading rifles showed their superiority.

The soldiers ran nimbly around the trenches and could reload in any position, in contrast to Sima's soldiers, who could only stand rigidly and reload, which became a target for the royal soldiers.

For a time, Sima's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the central trench was successfully broken through.

Seeing that his soldiers had the advantage, Lu Fei ordered all the soldiers to press, and the stalemate of the past two months was finally broken.

"Kill!"

Under his orders, the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers launched a collective charge.

At the same time, Luo Xin also launched a charge in Lin'an Xicheng, and in the face of the attack of more than 60,000 royal soldiers, Sima's army finally collapsed.

The trenches lost their advantage, and they could not take advantage of anything before the royal soldiers had the advantage of firearms.

Especially in the face of the skilled bayonet skills of the royal soldiers, they had no hope of victory in hand-to-hand combat.

On the Lin'an city wall, Sima Hao saw everything in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and now the trenches they dug were constantly occupied, the soldiers scrambled to flee, and the war began to show a one-sided situation.

Just when he was in a hurry, he suddenly saw four or five hot air balloons floating towards Lin'an City.

"Damn, shit!" Sima Hao cursed, he had been used to seeing this kind of hot air balloon in the past two months, and every time they came, they would throw a large number of papers.

The papers were full of text, calling them anti-thieves and promoting the reforms that were taking place outside of Lin'an.

Perhaps the rout had something to do with the sudden appearance of new weapons, but he also knew that the propaganda of this period had shaken the minds of many soldiers.

Seeing this, the other wealthy clans on the city wall immediately panicked, now Lin'an City is a lonely city, and the task given to them by the council is to hold on to Lin'an City and wait for support.

But now that they had been holding out for two months, and not a single soldier had been sent to the council, now Sima had finally realized a problem.

Cao Kun, the bastard, was just using it to slow down the royal army's southward movement, and all the promises he made were false.

It's just that it's too late to think about it now, the royal soldiers seem to have already attacked the city, and the artillery of the royal army has also pushed the artillery to the front of the city.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The flash of fire and smoke from hundreds of artillery pieces made Sima Hao dizzy for a while, and he laughed like crazy as he looked at the scattered soldiers.

"It's the sky that will kill my Sima clan, it's not my fault." Sima Hao is like a demon.

In his roar, the gate of Lin'an City collapsed, and in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the royal soldiers rushed into Lin'an City like tigers and wolves.
