Only when the Xia army begins to attack, will the opponents in the world understand its horror.

The so-called passive defense is actually pretending, just for a larger strategic plan.

Now Li Enze and the [-] North Korean defenders can feel the strength of Xia Jun.

All of Li Enze's defenses were aimed at traditional offensive methods.Encountering an army of pure hot weapons like Xia Jun is of no use at all.

For Xia Jun, the most difficult part is climbing the mountain.

As for the enemy's resistance...

The shooting range of both sides is not within the same dimension, so what is there to say?

"Master, I plan to keep the fourth battalion as a reserve team, and the remaining three battalions will attack in three directions. Because the terrain is narrow, we use companies as units and adopt skirmish tactics."

Zuo Yong used a telescope to observe the endless mountains in front of him, and he saw the appearance of the defenders completely.

There are many mountains in Gaoyang, but there are no too tall peaks, and most of them are hills of tens of meters or hundreds of meters.Moreover, many of them stand abruptly on the flat ground, and they are not connected with each other.

Attacking such a mountain is actually not that difficult.

"The weapons of the North Korean army are mainly bows and arrows. Soldiers must wear full shields. Where muskets cannot reach, artillery must be summoned. Reckless actions are absolutely not allowed."

Zuo Yong likes to use his brain very much in battle, and he doesn't like to use brute force the most, so his subordinates are also known for their many methods.

With his permission, Lu Baoxing, head of the third regiment, and Shu Chengshan, political commissar, returned to the headquarters and began to organize the attack.

Since the defense line of the defenders was very fragmented, the Xia army confronted each other and also adopted a piecemeal approach.

The three battalions in charge of the attack split all the companies and went into battle together.

The biggest advantage of such a skirmish formation is that it can bully the defenders who lack long-range weapons.

The only long-range weapons that the North Korean army can rely on are muskets and bows. As for artillery...

They have already been conscripted by the Qing army.

The limited number of catapults and bed crossbows have little effect on dealing with skirmishers.

In order to help skirmishers fight, the light artillery and mortars of the third marine regiment were also separated and evenly distributed on the battlefield.Wherever you get a request for help, you can shoot wherever you want, very free.

Guarding in the direction of the Third Marine Regiment is Liu Zhengkui, the Ma Jiedu envoy of the Ping'an Taoist Army.

He has more than [-] troops in his hands.

Although most of them were young men who had just been captured, they were still full of confidence when they saw Xia Jun's scattered figures.

"Pu Yuhou, hide behind with your armored soldiers. Wait until these summer thieves are in disarray, follow my orders and kill them in one fell swoop. These summer thieves are bold and reckless. Only muskets dare not form an array. This is the way to death .”

Yuhou Pu Xiutong also felt that Xia Jun was too arrogant.

Historically, musketeers have to use them intensively, in a tight array, and through repeated alternation to form a firepower density, in order to fight effectively.

Scattered everywhere like Xia Jun, once they encounter a charge of concentrated troops, they will definitely be defeated.

It's a pity that there are no cavalry on the defender's side, otherwise, the world will surely be settled in one battle.

The defenders were still dreaming, and Xia Jun's attack began.

On the short hill, many North Korean soldiers stood behind the temporary earthen wall, watching Xia Jun's movements with their heads poking around.I heard a loud rumbling sound coming from the very distant sky.

Many people have doubts.

How can there be thunder when there is no cloud in the sky?

They looked far and wide, but saw nothing.

Because it was Xia Jun's heavy artillery that fired, and they were all concentrated on the mountain near the river, which was more than five thousand meters away.

At a distance of more than ten miles, without a telescope, even the smoke from the heavy artillery fire could not be seen.

But it doesn't matter if you can't see it, the defenders immediately felt it for themselves.

Amidst the sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, shells fell one after another in the air, and the low wall made of mud could not protect the safety of North Korean soldiers at all.On the contrary, the shattered soil has become more terrifying than bullets, and it can penetrate the human body when it splashes tens of meters away.

The small hillside was immediately surrounded by a sea of ​​flames, and large pieces of North Korean soldiers were all turned into pieces of flesh and blood, which were thrown into the air and then fell down, like a rain of blood.

The air was filled with the smell of scorching meat, mixed with the pungent smell of blood, causing many soldiers to lie on the ground and retch.

The closer they got, the more frightened they were by the horrible bombing scene, they even forgot to dodge, and soon encountered the second round of bombing.

The fortifications that Liu Zhengkui painstakingly laid out on the short hills were wiped out as soon as the battle broke out.Especially the bed crossbow that he hid in the dense forest has already become a part of the whole place, and there is no way to support the battle at the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers of the Xia army had long been used to the baptism of artillery, and after receiving the order, they stepped out of the position and attacked the defenders.

The North Korean defenders on the flat ground were not bombarded by heavy artillery, and they were still safe and sound at this time.Seeing Xia Jun soldiers approaching, they cheered up one by one, ready to greet them with the weapons in their hands.

However, the soldiers of the Xia army were too scattered and their movements were erratic, making it difficult for the defenders to catch them.Plus the distance is still far away, so they can only watch.

A sharpshooter stuck his head out of the ditch, looking for a target.Before he could find anything, there was a gunshot in the distance, and his head turned into a rotten watermelon.

The splashed blood splattered on the faces and bodies of the people nearby, causing panic immediately.

The defenders who were originally optimistic were all panicked at this time, and no one dared to probe indiscriminately, for fear that they would end up in the same end.

But what they didn't know was that their position had been exposed just because of the reckless move of this sharp archer.

The observers who followed the infantry immediately reported the data to the rear.

"Four hundred and thirty meters straight ahead, and the height is six."

If you want to hit the enemy in the trenches, the best weapon is definitely the mortar.

Four hundred and thirty meters is the maximum range that today's mortars can achieve, but it also allows the defenders to usher in the call of death.

Dozens of mortar shells were thrown high into the air before falling almost straight down.In this way, the simple trench completely loses its defensive function.

Half of the shells landed accurately in the trench, and immediately turned into a roar of the wind god, tearing apart all the objects in the trench.

Large tracts of trenches were bombed and collapsed, in which countless corpses were buried.

Even the trenches are useless, which makes the North Korean soldiers die.Many people howled and started running back, even if the officers tried their best to stop them, it was useless.

After all, these soldiers have not undergone rigorous training, let alone the baptism of the battlefield.Suddenly encountered such a high-intensity blow, how can it withstand it?
