I’m The King

Chapter 1457



Chapter 1449 : Hanqi Tianxia (One Hundred Thirty-nine

On the fifth day of December, the pioneer of the Chu army, Bai Xizhong, led 50,000 people to reach Yingchuan County in advance. He thought he would encounter resistance from the Han army here, because along the way, they expelled the scout sentry of the Han army, Yingchuan many times. The county town was separated from the Han mainland by only one water, but to his surprise, not to mention not seeing a Han soldier in Yingchuan county town, not even a single citizen in the city. There is nothing in the city.

After sending more exploratory teams into the city, after repeated confirmations, Bai Xizhong realized that the other party had abandoned Yingchuan County and retreated to Yingshui County on the opposite bank of Yingshui River. This can also be figured out. Yingshui County is much smaller than Yingchuan County. It used to be a frontline fortress for the Han army against Tanfeng. Although it was only a county seat, it was built into a city similar to a military fortress. Everything is prepared for the war. Compared with Yingchuan County, the much smaller Yingshui County is naturally much more calm in guarding, and now it is coming to the Han army, which is seriously under-strength @@@@Fictionww.zzhdo.om said that this is also a last resort.

At night, Bai Xizhong finally confirmed that the stationed in Yingshui County was the Department of Meihua, the Third Division of the First Army of Yang Dasha in Wuguan. It seems that the Han army is aware of the actions of the Chu army, but they have no soldiers to send, they can only divide their troops from Wuguan. This made Bai Xizhong sneer. Wuguan had nothing to do with him because of the topography, but Yingshui County was not Wuguan. Apart from a river, there was no other place to rely on. Now the Chu Army logistics is in Qin. With people’s supplements and sufficient food and weapons, can’t it be enough for a small Yingshui county seat?

“Take Yingshui County and catch Meihua alive!” Bai Xizhong laughed and gave birth to the generals under his command. Mei Hua’s identity is unusual. His father is a high-ranking official of the Han Ting, and one of his elder brothers is a confidant of the Han King. If he can be captured alive, then The meaning is not trivial.

December night. It’s freezing cold, and it’s not so easy in the wild. After repeatedly confirming that there is no ambush in the city, and at the request of a group of generals, Bai Xizhong finally ordered the entire army to move to Yingchuan County. Since the Han army sent it. Give this gift to yourself, so there is no need to be polite. The warm city can keep the soldiers’ morale high. Moreover, being vigilant in the city can also guard against sneak attacks by the Han people.

Although across a river, it is not possible to sneak over to attack the Chu army, but separated by a city wall, it is much more reliable than a thin fence.

The noisy Chu army moved into the city at midnight. The empty Yingchuan County Town suddenly became lively, brightly lit, and it could be seen clearly across a Yingshui River.

Mei Hua sat in a fortress above the pier. While roasting his cold hands in a brazier in front of him, he looked at Yingchuan County Town on the opposite side.

Lanterns were hung on the top of the city, and piles of bonfires were lit on the top of the city, and patrolling figures were vaguely seen walking back and forth on the city wall.

“The city is very warm. But being warm will kill people.” Looking at the light in the distance, Mei Hua smiled coldly.

Time passed by every minute, and both banks of Yingshui River fell into a strange silence, but within the fortress. Mei Hua was still sitting there, the charcoal fire in the brazier in front of him had already turned into ashes, and there was not much temperature. But he was still waiting for something.

Inside the city of Yingchuan County. Tens of thousands of Chu troops finally entered a safe, peaceful, and warm city after exhausting the night, and the entire city was still empty. They just found a house to break in. Although the inside was messy, But there are almost no household items, and it seems that the original residents here are leaving in a hurry. In most homes, there are even a lot of bacon and other supplies to prepare for the New Year. This made Chu Jun extremely happy. In the past few months, they have been living a hard life. Even if they have received Qin Jun’s supplies now, they are only able to feed their stomachs, and now they can pick up so many. Good things, I can’t be overjoyed. As a result, in the empty city, there was repeated smoke from the chimneys of countless houses, and the Chu army began to prepare a steaming meal for themselves in the occupied houses.

Eat and drink enough, sleepiness will naturally hit. By the early hours of the morning, except for the guards above the city, there were already snoring all over the city.

In a wood room in a house, a pile of burned ashes suddenly disappeared automatically, and rustlingly separated to the two sides. After a while, a black human head suddenly appeared on the ground, with two hands raised. Holding a board, two bright eyes scanned all around, the board was gently put aside, the figure came out, and then he dragged a package out of the hole in the ground. Quietly out of the wood house, the cat walked to the door of the main house with his waist down.

The door of the main room was closed tightly, and a loud snoring sound came from inside. He gently pushed open the door, and the black shadow grinned suddenly. Inside the room, the Chu army was hiding on the ground in all directions, wrapping the owner of the house. The quilts, clothing, etc. discarded in the house, in the middle of the house, the charcoal fire on a brazier is still burning.

The black shadow counted in time, and there were probably nearly thirty Chu army squeezed in the house.

“Enough books, enough books!” He took the package he had been carrying from his shoulders, smiled and raised his hand, threw the package onto the burning brazier, then turned around and turned towards the corner. He ran, and squeezed his body together tightly.

The package fell on the brazier, and the splashing sparks awakened several Chu Jun who were sleeping in front of the brazier. He sat up and looked sleepily at the package that was burning on the brazier, muttering in his mouth. :”WTF?”

This is the last sentence they said, because when they just spit out this sentence, there was an earth-shattering explosion in the house. Inside that package was a strong package of explosives weighing several kilograms. , Explosives are also mixed with countless pieces of iron, iron beads.

There was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves in the house. The explosion caused most of the dozens of Chu soldiers in the house to see the King of Hades in their sleep. The huge blast of air blasted the door and windows of the main room. Going out, a raging fire started to burn from the main house, and the others who survived by chance, who were basically seriously injured, were screaming and crawling towards the gate with both hands and feet.

The black shadow hiding in the corner of the yard came out carrying the shimmering engineering shovel, waving the ordnance shovel, shoveling one by one, shoveling all the Chu soldiers who were still alive inside the house.

After doing all this, he smiled and threw the engineer’s shovel into the house. After thinking about it, he found a Chu soldier from the ground with a good armor. He stripped off his armor and put it on himself. , She stretched out her hand and smeared a few blood pastes on her face, then picked up a Chu State knife and walked outside.

When there was a huge explosion in this room, almost the same explosion sounded in all directions in the entire Yingchuan County, and the entire Yingchuan County was in chaos at once.

On the north bank of the Yingshui River, when the first explosion sounded, Mei Hua bounced off the chair like a spring, “It’s started, the war has begun, and the heavy artillery fired on me and bombarded the county town of Yingchuan. Don’t ask me where to fight, as long as you fight in the city, you can create more opportunities for the brethren in the city, so that the Chu people in the dog days can be uncomfortable with the specific situation.”

He ran up to the top of the fort, stood straight, and looked at the previously calm Yingchuan County City.

A loud bang rang beside him, stunned him and almost fell. A heavy artillery blasted out fire from the muzzle, and a shell roared across the Yingshui River and fell to the distant Yingchuan County. Within the city.

Then, more heavy artillery began to roar.

“This is the current war, people of Chu, if you still don’t really understand what is called a war of hot weapons, then you are destined to pay the price with blood.” Mei Hua smiled: “Within the range of the cannon, there is no Where is safe, the defense of the city is no longer secure.”

Bai Xizhong was awakened by the sound of the explosion in his sleep. He rushed out of the room. The Han army who thought it was on the other side for the first time even wanted to take advantage of his foothold to kill him by surprise, but when he heard When countless explosions came from the city, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He rushed to the top of the city and looked at the city of Yingchuan. The sound of explosions came from all directions. From time to time, he could see a ball of fire exploding from the ground, and then ignited a raging fire.

The other side is indeed attacking The heavy artillery shells crossed the Yingshui River and directly penetrated into the city of Yingchuan County. The place where the shells fell was also a scene of howling ghosts and wolves, and the Chu army in the city broke into it. The blow that came made his head dizzy, because they couldn’t find the enemy at all.

“There are spies in the city!” Bai Xizhong clenched his fists and stood at the top of the city. He could see clearly that the explosion in the city was completely purposeless and had no focus. It was completely arbitrary, but because of this, It also made him unprepared.

Forty to fifty percent of the artillery fired from the other side hit the former General Tanfeng’s mansion. When Ye Feng was stationed in Yingshui, he got these heavy artillery pieces and got the exact location of General Tanfeng’s mansion through some merchants. Many experiments have obtained accurate ballistic data. It was originally planned to give Tan Feng a fatal blow during the battle. However, the development of the battle situation in Yingchuan County was unexpectedly unexpected. This arrangement did not play any role. Today Mei Hua ordered random shooting, and the gunners naturally made it their main target. However, Bai Xizhong was lucky. He did not stay in the best and most luxurious generals in the city, but lived on the tower. Those who want to lead by example and guard against night attacks by the Han army, if he is still living somewhere, this round of artillery will smash him into meat sauce.

Bai Xizhong’s face was blue, and he felt bad. (To be continued.)
