Fang Yiai's soldiers on the mountain were all hiding in the trenches. Even though the cannons were rumbling, the soldiers hiding in the trenches were not affected for the time being.
All the riflemen waited for the moment.
They waited for the southern soldiers to approach.
As time went by, the southern soldiers at the foot of the mountain gradually drew closer. They were about 300 steps away from the mountain.
Fang Yiai commanded from the mountain. Seeing that there were more and more people, he decisively ordered the cannons to fire. As the order was given, the cannons on the mountain began to bombard. After all, there were more and more people at the foot of the mountain, and the cannons could play the greatest role.
Rumble!
The cannons kept firing, and the soldiers quickly returned fire.
At this moment, the sound of cannons reverberated everywhere on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.
The southern soldiers at the foot of the mountain were constantly wounded by the explosions.
The distance was also getting closer and closer.
When the distance was less than 200 steps away, Fang Yiai decisively ordered, "Open fire!"
As soon as he gave the order, the gunshots kept ringing out.
Bang! Bang!
The dense gunshots echoed in the air. In the blink of an eye, the bullets had shot into the crowd and into the bodies of the southern soldiers. Compared to the previous charge of the southern soldiers, there were fewer of them and more of them spread out, so they needed to aim carefully. But now, in this attack, the Southern Empire had the advantage in numbers. In such a situation, there was no need to aim at all. All they needed to do was to keep firing.
The bullets swept across, creating an abyss of death. Anyone who dashed forward was killed by bullets in the blink of an eye, resulting in countless casualties.
This scene fell at the foot of the mountain and fell into the eyes of Wang Tan in the distance.
Wang Tan frowned and said, "Prime Minister, this battle is not going to be easy!"
Wu Youdao said, "Your Majesty, Xia Xia is strong and not easy to fight. But if we can't suppress him in this battle, I'm afraid it'll be even more difficult in the future. Especially in this battle, we not only have to suppress him, but also take his weapon. In this way, we can seize the initiative in future battles and not be at a disadvantage. "
Wang Tan nodded.
He knew very well that he had to give it a try no matter the price.
He couldn't admit defeat.
Otherwise, he couldn't compare with Xia Xia now and in the future.
Wang Tan personally picked up the drumsticks and encouraged all the soldiers to attack with all their might.
All the soldiers of the Southern Empire went all out.
One by one, the soldiers pushed forward bit by bit, closing the distance between them and the mountain. This road was almost paved with blood, because every time they rushed forward, they would be bombarded and shot.
The 800 riflemen and the cannons were like an insurmountable city wall.
This made it almost impossible for him to move an inch.
Fortunately, the distance between them was still increasing bit by bit.
When the distance between the two parties had been reduced to less than 60 steps, Fang Yiai was still commanding calmly without any signs of panic. The reason for that was because this sort of scene was simply too simple. It was not a grand scene at all.
When he stayed in the mainland of the Xia Continent, he had led his troops on expeditions and participated in too many battles.
Fang Yiai ordered the soldiers to start bombarding with grenades.
While the soldiers were firing, there were also soldiers who picked up grenades, unscrewed the cap, pulled out the fuse, and threw them out. It was only a distance of 60 steps from the top of the mountain, so it was not difficult.
Grenades fell one after another, smashing into the crowd and exploding.
The rumbling sounds of explosions rang out again.
Many soldiers of the Southern Empire were killed again.
Gunshots and grenades were constantly reaping the lives of the soldiers of the Southern Empire. Under the continuous counterattacks, many soldiers of the Southern Empire were terrified because Xia Continent's weapons were too powerful and difficult to deal with.
However, the order to attack came from the rear. The soldiers at the front could only brave the rain of bullets and continue to charge forward.
When the distance between the two parties was less than 30 steps, Fang Yiai had already stood up from the trench.
The cannons at the foot of the mountain had stopped bombarding.
Because the soldiers of the Southern Empire were close to the defense line on the mountain, if they continued to bombard at this time, it would be equivalent to blowing up their own people. Besides, the bombardment of the cannons only served to suppress the firepower on the mountain so that the soldiers could attack.
Now that they were close, there was no need to fire anymore.
Fang Yiai stood up and glanced at the foot of the mountain. He glanced at the soldiers of the Southern Empire and immediately ordered, "Tell Yan Three to attack and stop defending. The left and right wings will go down and kill the soldiers of the Southern Empire. "
"Yes!"
The messenger immediately went to inform the soldiers.
After the order was given, the sound of a bugle horn was heard.
On the two sides of Mt. Datong, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time had already rushed out quickly.
When these soldiers saw Fang Yiai's eight hundred soldiers block the attack of the Southern Kingdom's army in the trench, they were all shocked and amazed by the new weapons.
It was too powerful!
If there were only 800 of them, Mt. Datong would have been destroyed long ago.
The defense line on the mountain would have been destroyed long ago.
However, Fang Yiai's men were guarding it impenetrably. Even if the distance was shortened, it was not affected at all.
This was Fang Yiai's strength.
It was also the combat power of their army.
At this moment, everyone rushed out quickly and kept going down the mountain. They attacked from the two wings and gradually cut into the battlefield. After the two wings began to fight, Fang Yiai did not waste any time and decisively gave the order to attack.
He took the lead and led the soldiers to launch a fierce attack.
The riflemen under his command rushed out of the trench and kept firing. Because the distance was shortened, almost every shot was accurate. When the distance was shortened again, the spearmen at 800 steps and the soldiers of the Southern Empire were engaged in close combat. The riflemen had already inserted bayonets into their guns.
The soldiers rushed up with bayonets in their hands.
Puchi! Puchi!
The Type 38 rifles were turned into short spears, and the bayonets kept stabbing into the bodies of the soldiers of the Southern Empire.
They stabbed and pulled out the bayonets skillfully.
This was the combat power of 800 riflemen.
In order to support Du Qi, all the spearmen selected by Du Ye were the most elite people in the army. They were the best of the best. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the kings of soldiers.
After these 800 soldiers rushed out on the battlefield, they stopped the momentum of the charge of the Southern Empire.
Then, they began to crush the enemy.
They pushed down the mountain bit by bit.
At the same time, Xia Xia's soldiers who attacked from the two wings were also like fierce tigers, biting the soldiers of the Southern Empire. Although the battle on the battlefield was fierce, the soldiers of the Southern Empire began to retreat at a visible rate.
From the artillery bombardment at the beginning to the shooting, and now the large-scale counterattack, the soldiers of the Southern Empire could no longer withstand it.
They began to retreat continuously.
Their offensive had long been suppressed.
Only fear was left.
Because the combat power of Xia Xia's soldiers was too strong.
