Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

When several soldiers were moving the chevaux de frise, an old rifle shot out from the city wall and hit one of the soldiers with a bullet in the right chest, leaving him without any strength.

Xie Yuan had just finished changing the magazine, and immediately fired at the man who fired the gun, then ordered: "Go a few more people and move the barricades away."

"Brothers, charge." Two more people were shot and finally the barricades were removed. Xie Yuan immediately shouted.

Afterwards, Xie Yuan led dozens of soldiers into the gate and fired at several enemy positions that were defending at the corners behind the city wall.

After observing the situation for a while, Xie Yuan ordered: "Company 1, prepare to attack the city wall. The rest of you, follow me and use grenades to attack the position behind the city wall."

There are two main enemy defense positions behind the city wall, one on the left and one on the right, forming a corner.

Xie Yuan secretly thought that it was a close call, it was a pity that the enemy had no automatic firepower. If they had a heavy machine gun, if they wanted to attack without artillery, they would suffer heavy losses.

"boom."

"boom."

After the sound of several grenades exploding, Xie Yuan led his soldiers to charge. After a burst of machine gun fire, the resistance under the city wall was basically eliminated and the city gate was also controlled.

A company commander led a company of soldiers along the ladder behind the city gate, preparing to climb up the city wall and eliminate the soldiers on the wall.

This sudden assault took only more than five minutes, from launching the attack to clearing out the enemies under the city wall.

"The second company, follow me. The third company will guard the city gate to welcome the main force." Xie Yuan led the second company and climbed up the city wall from the ladder on the other side.

In this raid, to facilitate battlefield command, two platoons were sent from each company of the Third Battalion.

There were not many soldiers on the city wall, only about thirty people. As the two sides climbed up the city wall, they were quickly wiped out.

At the military camp in the city, a soldier came to report: "Captain, the enemy is attacking."

"Are they from the Northern Government or the New Army?" Jiang Nansheng asked subconsciously.

The soldier shook his head: "I don't know. The enemy launched the attack from the west gate."

"Simon?"

Jiang Nansheng frowned and immediately gave an order: "The first battalion and the guard company will assemble and head to the west gate. The second battalion will guard the camp and be ready for battle."

At that time, there were only his guard company and two battalions, totaling more than 1,200 people, in the city.

Xie Yuan had just captured the city wall when the follow-up troops of the guard regiment arrived.

Fang Jian did not interfere with Fang Guoxuan's command. Fang Guoxuan held the map and commanded: "Send a company from the first battalion to attack the north gate, and a company from the second battalion to attack the south gate."

"The first battalion will attack the enemy's garrison camp in the city, and the second battalion will cooperate and eliminate the scattered resistance in the city."

Zhang Sheng was a little depressed. It was a cooperative operation, so why couldn't he be the main attacker?

Xie Yuan also said: "Captain, where is our third battalion?"

"The third battalion will rest first and guard the west gate. If there is an unexpected situation, we can take over." Fang Guoxuan said with a smile.

Although there was no breakthrough mission, Xie Yuan did not say anything more. Since the commander had given the order, he could not disobey it.

After receiving the order, Fang Tianming immediately led the first battalion forward along the main street, while Zhang Sheng led two companies along another street, not far behind.

Soldiers from the first battalion were marching forward when they spotted a group of people running towards them not far away. They knew without a second thought that they were the enemy.

Fang Tianming shouted: "Find cover and prepare for battle."

Soldiers from the first battalion quickly sought shelter on the street and drew their weapons, ready to open fire.

Jiang Nansheng's men also discovered the soldiers of the first battalion. The scout found Jiang Nansheng and said, "Captain, we have spotted the enemy ahead."

"Huh?" Jiang Nansheng, who was in the middle of the team, was startled when he heard the news.

He did not dare to hesitate and quickly ordered: "Build fortifications on the spot to resist the enemy, and quickly send a message to the second battalion to have them come to support."

Soon, the two sides began to exchange fire. Because the first battalion had given its automatic weapons to the third battalion, it now only had general-purpose machine guns and rifles.

Relying on more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns, Jiang Nansheng's men suffered heavy losses.

Although the general-purpose machine gun requires an assistant gunner to replace the bullet belt, once the machine gun is mounted, its power is much greater than that of a light machine gun.

Caught off guard, Jiang Nansheng lost dozens of people in an exchange of fire.

Without a heavy machine gun, Fang Tianming was not satisfied with the result of the exchange of fire. He ordered: "Grenade launchers, mortars ready."

The regular battalions awarded by the system were equipped with ten mortars and more than fifty grenade launchers. But Fang Tianming's battalion was composed of several companies awarded by the system.

There were only more than forty grenade launchers, and the mortars were exchanged by Franciscan from the system and then equipped to them.

The distance between the two sides was only a little over 100 meters. The attack range of the grenade launcher could reach 700 meters, and the maximum range of the mortar was 5,000 meters. At this distance, the enemy was just a sitting duck.

Soon, the mortar grenade launcher was set up at the rear and the gunner had adjusted the angle.

Fang Tianming waved his hand gently, and the gunners put their shells into the grenade launchers and mortars. The shells whistled into Jiang Nansheng's position.

"Captain, be careful." Before the shells fell, the two guards discovered something unusual in the enemy's position. They pounced on Jiang Nansheng, knocked him down, and pinned him under them.

When he was knocked down, Jiang Nansheng was confused, frightened, and angry. He thought the two men had betrayed him, so he yelled, "What are you going to do?"

"boom."

"boom."

"boom."

Amid a series of explosions, Jiang Nansheng's battalion and the guard company suffered heavy casualties and were thrown into chaos.

Amid the explosion, Jiang Nansheng finally came to his senses and realized that the guards were trying to save him, and he began to relax. However, the relaxation lasted only three seconds before he was brought back to reality by the sound of artillery shells.

Under the bombardment of these shells, human power was so small and fragile. People were blown away one after another, and body parts flew everywhere.

Jiang Nansheng's heart began to tighten, and he even felt a little scared, fearing that a bomb would fall near him.

The bombardment lasted for three minutes, and when the smoke and dust cleared, a large number of bodies were lying on the opposite side. Because the soldiers of the First Battalion and the Guard Company were stationed very closely together, the troops suffered heavy casualties in this round of bombardment.

Seeing that no more shells were falling, Jiang Nansheng immediately climbed up. The two guards who were holding him down were already dead. Jiang Nansheng couldn't help feeling sad.

"Is there anyone still alive?" Jiang Nansheng yelled.

Hearing Jiang Nansheng's shouts, a man emerged from the pile of corpses and cried, "Captain, they're dead, dead, all dead."

Dozens of people gradually crawled out from the pile of corpses, but less than forty people were left alive.

Seeing this tragic scene, Jiang Nansheng wanted to cry but had no tears. He brought more than 700 people with him, but he hadn't hurt many of the enemy yet, and his own troops were almost wiped out. Who could he go to for justice?

Fang Tianming did not miss this opportunity and ordered his soldiers to attack in a skirmish formation.

"Chi, chi, chi..." the sound of a general-purpose machine gun rang out.

Jiang Nansheng was in a daze when another person knocked him to the ground. The dozens of people standing in the position, who had not yet come out of the joy of surviving the disaster, were faced with the beckoning of death.
