The salvos of hundreds of artillery pieces can be described as shocking, making ghosts and gods cry, and shaking the earth.
Looking at the Besa army's defense line under artillery fire, there were explosions everywhere, the earthen walls were blown to pieces, and the soldiers hiding in the trenches were blown out.
Throughout the defense line, thick smoke was rising and blooming everywhere, and people's screams and roars could be heard from a distance.
A quarter of an hour's bombardment finally ended, followed by the infantry advance of the Fourth Army.
Three corps were at the front, attacking in a rectangular square formation.
One corps on each flank was inserted from both sides of the enemy's defense line.
The three corps behind were covering it, and the other two corps were in a swept formation.
If one legion fights another legion, no matter how perfect the defense of that legion is, it will not be able to withstand it.
The Bessa soldiers hiding behind the earthen walls and in the ditches all poked their heads out, set up muskets, and started shooting at the oncoming wind army formation.
In the Fengjun camp, people were hit by projectiles from time to time and fell to the ground.
But this could not stop Feng Jun from advancing.
It didn't take long before the distance between the two sides reached the range of the cannons.
In the Feng Army's camp, the sound of firecrackers firing was heard, and a large plume of green smoke rose from above the camp.
Densely packed projectiles flew towards the defense line of Besa Army, and the sound of projectiles piercing helmets could be heard one after another.
Soldiers of Besa Army hiding behind bunkers were shot from time to time and fell backwards.
Baidu Yi, Hey, Yan, Brother, watch the next chapter for free without pop-ups.
The Feng Army's fire cannon attack was not based on rounds, but a continuous offensive.
The fire was fired continuously, and wave after wave of projectiles were shot out uninterrupted.
In addition, with the introduction of gun swords, the number of spearmen in the wind army was further reduced, the number of fire gun soldiers was further increased, and the firepower of the fire gun became more and more fierce.
At first, Besa's army could still make sparse counterattacks, but as the Feng army got closer and closer, the firepower became more and more intense, and Besa's army was suppressed to the point where it was difficult to show its face.
Seeing that the wind army's formation had advanced to their front, many Bessa soldiers jumped out of their bunkers and turned around and ran back.
But how can their legs be faster than the projectiles pushed out by gunpowder?
The soldiers of Besa's army who fled backward were hit by clouds of blood mist behind them, and people fell to the ground in rows and groups.
There were only ten meters away from the trenches of the enemy's defense line.
The battalions in the army loudly ordered: "Brothers in the front row, use the gun swords" "Brothers in the front row, use the gun swords" "Rui Shi breaks the formation" "Rui Shi breaks the formation" Amidst the continuous sounds of orders, the Fengjun in the front row pulled out the blunderbuss swords hanging under their ribs, inserted the long and thin hilts into the blunderbuss tubes, and the fire blunderbuss transformed one after another.
They became short spears.
At the same time, the warriors in the camp rushed out of the formation one after another with Mo Dao in their hands.
Under the charge of the sharp soldiers, the distance of ten meters was reached in the blink of an eye.
The sharp soldiers did not jump into the trench and fight hand-to-hand with the enemy.
Instead, they jumped directly into the trench and rushed towards the earth wall behind the trench.
The Besa soldiers hiding in the trench were dumbfounded.
Above their heads, they saw silhouettes passing by one after another.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the Feng soldiers holding blunderbuss swords had already rushed to the trench.
People roared and jumped into the ditch.
As they fell, they used the inertia of their bodies to stab out their guns and swords one after another.
The blade of the gun sword is narrow and thick, which is not suitable for chopping, but it is very suitable for assassinating the enemy.
Because of the thick blade, the cut made by the sword is in the shape of a rhombus, which is not only difficult to heal, but also can easily cause heavy bleeding.
On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Feng Army jumped into the ditch one after another like dumplings, followed by a series of screams.
Many Besa soldiers were stabbed by the wind troops falling from the sky and nailed to the ground before they had time to react.
The Besa soldiers hurriedly threw away the muskets in their hands, pulled out the swords from their ribs, and started a close hand-to-hand combat with the Feng soldiers who jumped into the ditch.
The sound of clanking weapons was heard at the scene.
When it comes to fighting alone, Besa Soldiers are not weaker than Wind Soldiers, but they can't beat four hands with two fists, and even a good tiger can't fight against many wolves.
When Besa Soldiers are fighting with Wind Soldiers in front of them, Wind Soldiers will touch them from behind from time to time.
His vital part was stabbed, and he screamed and fell to the ground.
The surrounding wind soldiers swarmed up, raised their fire blunderbuss, and stabbed downwards.

The corpses of many Besa soldiers were almost turned into hornet's nests by blunderbuss and swords, and they were no longer human.
Their blood pooled in the trenches and formed rivers.
Those warriors who crossed the trench jumped onto the earth wall one after another.
The moment they came up, there was a burst of gunfire from behind the earth wall.
Some warriors were knocked off the earth wall directly, but some warriors gritted their teeth and endured the wounds on their bodies, jumped into the earth wall, waving the Mo Dao in their hands. , slashing and slashing at the surrounding enemies.
How could Besa's army holding fire guns withstand the sharp men's close-range killing?
As more and more sharp soldiers rushed over, Besa's army behind the earth wall was killed and defeated, and people abandoned their soil one after another.
They retreated to the second trench under the cover of the wall, struggled to crawl out of the trench, and retreated toward the second earth wall.
During this period, the Feng Army's phalanx had already advanced forward.
Amidst the bursts of firecrackers, the fleeing Bessa soldiers were shot all over their bodies and rolled forward screaming.
The formation of the wind army seemed like a clockwork machine.
During the advancement process, it always maintained a certain speed.
When it was necessary to engage in close combat, the sharp soldiers rushed into the formation, and the wind soldiers in the front row loaded up their blunderbuss swords and left their positions.
Formation, fighting the enemy hand-to-hand, but the main body of the phalanx was not affected at all, and continued to advance at a speed, advance, and advance again.
This unstoppable propulsion can create a strong sense of oppression on the enemy's psychology and cause the enemy soldiers to lose their fighting spirit.
The defense line in the north of the city, where only one Besa Corps was stationed, was completely defeated under the fierce attack of the three corps in front of the Fourth Army.
Except for a small number of Besa troops who escaped, the rest of the Besa troops were either killed in battle or captured alive. .
The Fourth Army Corps attacked the northern defense line of the city in one fell swoop without any effort or half an hour.
Shangguan Xiu, who was watching the battle with a monocular from the rear, nodded while watching.
An Yifu was an orthodox Fengjun general.
The Fourth Army under his command fought in a orderly and orderly manner.
The mutual cooperation and the specific details of individual corps operations are all as perfect as textbooks.
Watching the battle of the Fourth Legion is a complete visual enjoyment.
You can copy it and take it to Lingwu Academy to teach and educate people.
The Fourth Army Corps, which occupied the defensive line in the north of the city, immediately deployed its defenses in place without even taking a break.
The soldiers cleared the corpses of the Besa Army on the battlefield, dug new trenches, built the destroyed earth walls, and placed legion artillery in the defense line, focusing on defending the city of Dumuos on one side and the north on the other.
The battle on the Fourth Army's side has ended early, and the battles on the First, Second, and Third Army are still continuing.
Even though the First Army was facing three corps of Besa Army, the First Army was the first to break through the enemy's defense line.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the First Army Corps is the strongest among the Zhenjun Army.
In terms of personnel, the soldiers of the First Army Corps are also the most elite among the four legions.
Moreover, Luo Ren's fighting style is fierce and fierce.
With a general order, the following generals must complete it.
Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded heavily, those who have no meritorious service will be punished, and those who have made mistakes will be severely punished.
The generals under Luo Ren were eliminated at a very high rate.
The capable ones were promoted and the weak were demoted.
After receiving the orders from the generals, the generals all took the lead.
Even if the generals were like this, the soldiers below were even more courageous.
Luo Ren is not from Zhenjun, but his first legion is the most consistent with the fighting philosophy of Zhenjun people.
Survival of the fittest, the strong is king.
They are barbaric and ferocious on the battlefield, suppressing, attacking and killing with the most ferocious force. , destroying the enemy completely unreasonably.
After defeating the defensive line in the south of the city, the First Army took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on the city of Dumuos.
The number of artillery of the First Legion reached 600.
The artillery roared and blasted the southern wall of Dumuos City full of holes.
In many places, the wall was overwhelmed and collapsed.
This is why after the full application of firearms, tactical concepts have to change.

In the era of cold weapons, the defenders could defend the city, even if the defenders were small.
However, relying on the advantages of city defense, it was not easy for the enemy to break through the city defense.
Now is the advent of the firearms age.
The ability of artillery to break through defenses is too powerful, no matter how strong it is.
Even the city walls cannot withstand the massive artillery fire At this time, if the defender's tactical concept is to defend the city, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.
Setting up a defense line outside the city has become a necessary means for the defender.
Of course, once the defense line outside the city is lost, then the defense line will be a dead end.
The army could only retreat to the city.
Under the ferocious bombardment of the First Army, the southern wall of Dumuos City was broken, and even the city gate was shattered.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the First Army began to advance into the city.
The Besa defenders in the city resisted very tenaciously, using artillery and firecrackers to continuously fight back against the advancing Feng army.
During the advancement, the soldiers of the First Army were shot and fell to the ground from time to time.
However, this not only failed to stop the advance of the First Army, but instead made the soldiers of the First Army advance faster.
By the time the battle lasted two hours, the First Legion had completely occupied the southern wall of Dumuos.
Hearing that the Second and Third Legions were launching a fierce attack on the east and west cities of Dumuos, Luo Ren specially ordered that two legions be separated from the First Legion to assist the Second and Third Legions in their siege.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and there was no suspense in the battle of Dumuos City.
After the city walls on the east and west sides were also lost one after another, Besa's remaining soldiers had all retreated to the city.
At this point in the battle, Besa's army, which originally numbered 90,000, had only 30,000 left.
The commander of the Besa Army knew that the situation was over and that there was no way he could make a comeback.
If he continued to fight, not only would his entire army be annihilated, but he would also be in danger of being massacred by the Feng Army.
He took the initiative to order the entire army to give up resistance and surrender to the Feng Army.
With the surrender of all Besa troops, the Battle of Dumuos City came to an end.
In this battle, Besa Army killed more than 40,000 people and captured more than 40,000 people.
Even the commander of Besa Army failed to escape and became a prisoner of Feng Army.
Shangguan Xiu really didn't hate the Besa people as much as he hated the Ningnan people.
How to place these Besa prisoners was not difficult.
After all, this place was very close to the mainland of Feng Country.
Shangguan showed off his talents and escorted all Besa prisoners back to Feng Kingdom and handed them over to the custody of the Northern Group Army stationed in Feng County.
As for the commander of the Besa Army, Bernie Eden, and several major generals, Shangguan Xiu stayed in the Zhenjun Army, hoping to use them to get some intelligence about Besa's country.
