Chapter 167: Grinding Meat

The vanguard of the Qin army occupied some strongholds as support, and these strongholds could be used to suppress the extended enemy strongholds, so that the subsequent Qin troops rushed up and expanded the results of the battle.

Seeing that the vanguard troops occupied the position, Mu Xiongtian immediately personally led the 100,000-person Qin army to rush forward, and under the cover of the fire of the Qin army occupying the stronghold, he cleared the stronghold one by one.

After destroying some strongholds and occupying some strongholds, the Qin army stabilized their position halfway up the hill on the high ground.

Seeing this, Lu Ling immediately ordered the heavy artillery battalion to move forward, advance to a position only two miles away from the foot of the mountain, adjust the firing of Zhu Yuan, and begin to extend artillery fire to the front of the Qin army's solid defensive line.

Just when the 10,000 cannons were firing in unison, the highland suddenly changed, and the highland, which was originally integrated into the upper and lower areas, suddenly sank down a large piece in the place covered by the Qin army's artillery fire, as if the upper part of the entire highland had been translated back more than ten zhang.

This translation does not matter, all the strongholds on the high ground are suddenly in the dead corner of the Qin army's heavy artillery fire, if the heavy artillery battalion adjusts the angle, it will bombard the top of the stronghold, and if the angle is lowered, it will smash on the Qin army's defense line.

Qin Ning discovered this situation, immediately stopped the bombardment of the heavy artillery battalion, and flew into the troops led by Mu Xiongtian.

I didn't expect that such a huge body in this highland could be controlled by organs. It seems that Kong San; Ye had already prepared for the firepower coverage of the Qin army.

Seeing Qin Ning coming, Mu Xiongtian bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the enemy is very cunning and has already taken refuge in a place that cannot be covered by heavy artillery. I want to send a small force. Carry out manual removal of the enemy. ”

Qin Ning thought about it for a while, and there was no good way for the time being. nodded in agreement with Mu Xiongtian's style of play.

Mu Xiongtian immediately organized ten teams of 100 people, each of whom was equipped with hand cannons and high-explosive alchemy products. Let them rush forward and clear the enemy strongholds one by one.

At the sound of the order, the ten teams tried to distance themselves from each other, walked out of the fortifications, and climbed up the high slopes.

Because the high ground shifted from half waist to backwards, in fact, on the route crawling by the Qin soldiers, a flat land more than ten zhang long appeared, because of the appearance of this flat land, the Qin soldiers had to rush through this open land if they wanted to approach one stronghold after another.

Open ground is more dangerous than sloping land. Because in the open field, the shooting blind spot of the enemy's stronghold is under your nose, and the area that can be controlled is very intuitive. However, if it is a slope attack, the slope structure will cause the shooting dead angle to extend forward, and the dead angle of the defense base will be very long.

This increases the difficulty of the attack.

The soldiers of the Qin army crawled forward, and after a while, they approached the part of the hillside that had shifted. If you go up, you will be able to jump on the flat ground in front of the stronghold. The leader of the squad waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop, and asked the hand gunners around him to fire the projectiles that created a smoke screen on the flat ground.

All ......

More than a dozen smoke screen projectiles exploded on flat ground. Puffs of smoke suddenly enveloped a large clearing in front of the stronghold. Take advantage of the shady curtain to rise. The squad leader shouted: "Brothers, rush!"

Almost at the same time, all ten squads leaped up and rushed into the smoke screen as fast as they could. At a distance of more than ten zhang, as long as you rush to the front of the stronghold, it is a victory.

But at this time. A strong wind suddenly blew in, covering the black smoke of the stormtrooping team. was blown away immediately, and at this time, all the squads only charged five or six feet away. All the soldiers of the Qin army were suddenly exposed to the sight of the enemy defending the stronghold on the opposite side.

Woohoo......

The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air rang out one after another, and countless crossbow arrows poured down on the charging team members like a storm.

Qin Ning was surprised to find that the armor he had carefully prepared could not withstand the impact of the crossbow arrows, judging from the naked eye, the enemy's crossbow arrows had obviously been improved and processed, using extremely tough alchemy materials. This makes the improved Qin army's armor unable to resist!

There was hardly any sound, and the bodies of the thousand charging warriors were blurred with flesh and blood from the powerful crossbow arrows, and they fell on the way to the charge.

"Second group, prepare!" Mu Xiongtian's eyes were full of anger, this is not to say that Mu Xiongtian will not command, like this kind of battle without any advantage, the most taboo thing is to break the rhythm of the attack halfway.

Once the attack does not continue, it will be a morale blow to the fighters on their own side. As for the other party, with one less round of attacks, they can use this time to adjust their psychology and equipment to cope with the next charge.

In order to prevent the problems that arose during the first round of charges, the commander of the second group of assault formations increased the amount of smoke bombs, not only dropping some before the attack, but also leaving an ammunition hand to cover the smoke screen during the attack.

Qin Ning's gaze did not focus on the attacking group, but instead set his gaze on other places. When the first group attacked, the sudden gust of wind made Qin Ning feel puzzled. How could this wind blow just right when the Qin army was charging?

This time it will be interesting to see if the wind will blow again during the second attack.

Qin Ning's suspicions were confirmed by the facts, and when the second group of charging formations was charging, Qin Ning found that in an inconspicuous stronghold on the side, a strong wind blew out from there, and the smoke screen effect deliberately created by the Qin army's charging formation was blown away by the wind hanging there!

Without the cover of the smoke screen, the charging formation of the second group was still left behind by the scattered crossbow arrows in the sky. Just two charges, two thousand Qin soldiers stained the battlefield with blood!

"The third group, up!" Mu Xiongtian ripped off the armor on his body, and it seemed that he was ready to go into battle in person in the event of an unfavorable attack.

This charge is similar to a suicidal charge, although it does not have the effect of directly dealing damage to the enemy. But this kind of fierce charge that is not afraid of death can cause extremely shocking psychological pressure on the enemy.

This kind of pressure must not be relaxed! As long as the strength is relaxed, it will be a great change in morale!

Qin Ning knew this very well, so Mu Xiongtian filled in his life like this, and Qin Ning did not stop Mu Xiongtian's brute action.

Seeing that the charging formation of the third group had entered the designated position, Qin Ning showed his figure and quietly came behind the charging team on the far right.

All ......

At the same time as the smoke screen was fired, the stormtrooping team charged again. Witnessing the tragic death of the brothers in front, the soldiers of these charging formations did not think of their own death, but aroused the blood in their hearts, and wanted to rush to the front to avenge the dead brothers!

The soldiers of the Qin army let out a heart-rending roar, and rushed forward one by one without fear.

Qin Ning followed like a ghost, but his goal was not to charge with the soldiers, but to turn his body around and turn to the stronghold where the strong wind was blowing.

A strong wind blew out again, and Qin Ning was waiting for this opportunity! He shook his body, and he had already come to the position of the seal, stretched out his hand, and threw a high-explosive alchemy product clasped in his hand into the wind.

With a loud bang, the stronghold that blew out the strong wind was violently exploded into the sky, and this time, there was no strong wind blowing away the smoke screen covering the soldiers of the Qin army.

The enemy in the stronghold was obviously panicked, still firing all kinds of alchemy products, in a vain attempt to stop the charging Qin soldiers. But there is no clear goal, and it can only be fired indiscriminately.

When the smoke screen gradually cleared, the enemy in the stronghold was horrified to find that the red-eyed soldiers of the Qin army had rushed in front of them!

When Mu Xiongtian saw this scene, he immediately rushed to the middle of the soldiers of the fourth group shirtless, raised his sword, and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!"

Roar, roar, roar!

This time, not only did the charging formation of the fourth group charge with Mu Xiongtian, but the soldiers of the Qin army outside the stronghold also rushed up.

As soon as the soldiers of the third group heard the sound of the charge behind them, they immediately became a little anxious, because although they rushed in front of the strongholds, it would take time to clear the strongholds one by one! The conventional method would definitely not work!

The squad leader shouted: "Brothers, the big army has come up! Are we a bad seed? Will we watch the brothers in the back die under the crossbow arrows of the enemy's stronghold?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood what the captain wanted to do, and immediately shouted in unison: "We are not a bad seed! We will not watch our brothers die!"

"Okay, brothers, you are all gentlemen, let's go on the road together, for the sake of Daqin, we will definitely not spare our lives!"

Roar, roar, roar!

All the warriors roared in unison, and several people chose a stronghold, carrying the high-explosive alchemy product with their bodies, and rushed up to detonate the high-explosive alchemy product.

An explosion shook the earth, and in the countless flying blood mist, the enemy's strongholds also flew into the sky one by one.

Mu Xiongtian led a large army and rushed to this position, most of the strongholds were destroyed by the soldiers of the third group, and the remaining remnants of the strongholds were pulled out by the army one by one.

In the chaotic battlefield, Qin Ning keenly heard an unusual sound.

"Hide quickly, hide quickly!" Qin Ning's figure galloped, turning into an afterimage, shuttling back and forth in the Qin army, and clearly sending his warning to the ears of every soldier.

The soldiers of the Qin army did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly looked for cover on the spot and hid one by one.

Just when everyone was hiding, they heard a terrifying sharp whistling sound in the air, and heavy artillery shells poured down from the castle at the top of the high ground.

Boom, boom, a dense artillery fire, covering the whole place. Those Qin soldiers hiding in the fortified stronghold were fortunately protected by cover, while most of the Qin soldiers hiding outside were killed by heavy artillery fire. Just covered by this artillery fire, roughly calculated, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Qin army also died! (To be continued...... R1292
