The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Seeing that the position in front of him had been blown away by the explosion, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Then, Jiang Lige gave the order to attack again.

The number of attackers this time reached 2,000, and they were conducting a carpet search in an intensive manner. He was absolutely confident that he could kill all the people on the position.

In the distance, Yue Fengting saw this scene and sighed. He also felt that the people on the battlefield might have died. After all, with such intensive bombing, how many people could survive the explosion?

But when he turned to look at Chu Chengrui, he saw that he looked calm. He was puzzled. Under such bombardment, Chu Chengrui was not worried at all. How could this be possible?

He didn't know that after knowing that the enemy had artillery, Chu Chengrui remembered what Jiang Fan had said, if he encountered an enemy with gunpowder weapons and artillery, how would he defend the position.

Following Jiang Fan's instructions, he had people dig countless soldier hiding holes when digging the position. Once the enemy's artillery was ready to bombard, people would hide in the soldier hiding holes.

Because the enemy's artillery has limited power, the soldier cave does not need to be built too deep. It only needs to be built a little deeper according to the power of the artillery.

Chu Chengrui built the soldier cave according to the power of the artillery he had, so it was safer than the artillery of the Liaoxia Army.

After all, the gunpowder of the Liaoxia army cannot compare with the power of the artillery in Jiang Fan's hands.

At this time, the enemy's attacking team of 2,000 people had approached the front position about ten feet away. At this moment, countless grenades were suddenly thrown out from the position.

Then, countless Huaining troops appeared on the battlefield. The dense gunfire caught the enemy off guard. Coupled with their dense formation, they suffered heavy casualties.

Hundreds of the two thousand people were shot dead on the spot. When the remaining people saw this, they immediately turned around and ran away. Unfortunately, the effective range of the Huaining Army's muskets was more than thirty feet.

Therefore, even though the remaining enemies tried their best to escape, a large number of them were shot dead on the spot.

Jiang Lige and others who had reacted almost popped their eyes out when they saw this scene. They looked at the situation in front of them in shock and were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Jiang Lige really couldn't understand it. Under such intensive bombardment, the people should have been killed long ago. Why did they fight for such a long time but it seemed like it was all in vain and not even a single person was killed?

How could he know that there was something else going on in the battlefield? How could an army like theirs, which had just acquired firearms, be comparable to the army trained by Jiang Fan?

Jiang Fan had experience in dealing with new firearms that they could not match. Their abilities were nothing compared to Jiang Fan's.

You have to know that Jiang Fan came from later generations. Even though people in later generations have not been exposed to much military knowledge, they have only talked about a few of the most classic wars involving hot weapons.

Only three or four hundred of Jiang Lige's two thousand men escaped, and the rest stayed in the front position. Jiang Lige looked at the Huaining soldiers who appeared on the position, his eyes almost spitting fire, and a trace of fear surged in his eyes.

"Marshal, those people seem to be immortal. Are they protected by gods?" At this time, the deputy general on the side spoke with a frightened look on his face.

He was also a little confused and shocked. What he was thinking in his mind was whether the Huaining Army was invulnerable to swords and guns. They were not killed by such a bombing, right?

Jiang Lige was more rational. He shook his head and said in a cold voice, "We are all human beings. How can we expect gods to protect us? If I am not mistaken, they have hiding places on their positions. The reason why our artillery fire cannot hurt them is that they hid in the hiding caves when we bombed them!"

"Then what should we do? Further bombing will be in vain. I'm afraid we can't take the position in the front!" Upon hearing this, the deputy general's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

When Jiang Lige heard this, his eyes flashed, and he frowned, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Can't take it? Then I will take it at all costs. Pass the order down, order the Vanguard Battalion to send another 5,000 people to attack, and the Artillery Battalion to prepare all the artillery and bombard with all their might."

As soon as he said this, the faces of several generals beside him suddenly turned into fear.

"Marshal, think twice. If our people attack, even if they do attack, under the bombardment of artillery, they will probably..." someone said.

He knew what Jiang Lige wanted to do. He was ready to fight with the other side and use his own lives to fill the hole. Although 5,000 people could attack the position under the artillery fire, in that case, his people would be blown to death on the position together with the enemy.

Doing this would be too cruel, but if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to attack.

Imagine that when you fire cannons, others hide and the cannon fire is in vain. But if you don't fire cannons to attack, others will block their positions and you can't even attack.

The fire system used by their men could not hurt the enemies in the position at all. Moreover, although the fire system used a six-eye system, it could be fired six times.

But the problem is that the fire system is only good for stopping ambushes, but it is difficult to exert its power during an attack. One reason is that it takes time to ignite the fuse, and there is no way to aim during a charge.

In addition, the fire stick used to light the fuse is too troublesome, and there is also the risk of it going out or of not reacting in time.

Therefore, they could only rely on their men to charge into the position and fight to the top of it.

They felt that this was the first time they had fought so frustratingly since they had invented firearms. This war really made them extremely annoyed.

"Follow the order! Don't let me say it a second time." In response to the dissuasion of the generals around him, Jiang Lige just snorted coldly.

When they heard this, their bodies trembled slightly and they nodded quickly. Even though they cared about the life and death of their soldiers, they were still afraid of Jiang Lige.

Immediately, a 5,000-man suicide squad of the Liaoxia Army was sent out, and they rushed towards the positions ahead.

However, the Liaoxia army at this time was no longer as complacent and eager to fight as when they came. With nearly two thousand of their comrades killed, they were a little scared.

The main reason is that this is a battle with no sign of victory. They have been fighting for so long but have not even encountered the enemy head-on. Do you think such a battle will not wear down people's will?

They didn't collapse because they hadn't reached the end of their rope yet. But their morale was severely hit.

Five thousand men, under the command of their general, rushed towards the front position. All of them looked anxious and terrified.

At the same time, the general guarding the position saw that another 5,000 men were sent to charge and that the enemy's artillery was already ready. He had a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Withdraw one position and give them the position in front!" The Huaining Army general who led this place gave the order to his subordinates.

Immediately, the soldiers on the position began to retreat secretly.
