Chapter 917: Great Defeat

The command post was the focus of attention. The artillery immediately took down the command system of the occupying army. Countless panicked people ran back and forth on the river beach, colliding, and even slashing at each other with knives in the dark, just to take back the returned bamboo.

raft.

In the dark night, the people in the rear had no idea what terrorist incident was happening ahead, and they were still gathering on the river beach.

In this protruding part of the river bend, thousands of vanguard troops occupying the city were completely thrown into chaos.

The sudden strike effect is remarkable. The barrel of the Volupt Cannon is now bored out of standard forged steel, and then undergoes fine carburizing and heat treatment processes.

Su You was the first to come up with the hair-pulling safety device made of sneaky dogs, but it had long since been swept into the trash heap of history by the military.

The rapid-fire method invented by Guo Huai was highly praised by the military, and the current Fulu Cannon has become the standard mortar model of later generations.

Hoi An City's shipping business is the benefit of shipping. Suyou has been preparing a large amount of ammunition for the new army here.

It couldn't be used locally, and the Thunderbolt Cannon was heavy, so it was completely abandoned by Cao Nan. On the Indochina Peninsula, a small team could dismantle, transport and assemble the Fulu Cannon, which was the magic weapon for destroying the enemy.

The shooting points on the river beach have been calibrated one by one by the artillery team. As the artillery fired, the clerk reported the next parameter and sketched the previous parameter.

The first wave of artillery fire coverage was completed quickly, and thousands of occupying troops were buried here without even seeing anything from the opponent.

A small number of occupying troops found the right direction. After being intercepted and felled by bullets along the way, hundreds of people still fought their way to the trench positions.

What awaits them is a trip mine.

Breaking through the minefield at great cost, they were suddenly bounced back by something while running.

Many sergeants were entangled in something like this. In the darkness, their extremely nervous emotions caused them to collapse and cry out, feeling as if they were being caught by an invisible ghost.

I don't know when, several iron nets were erected here.

Then the crackling sound of gunfire sounded, and these soldiers were shot to death on the barbed wire fence in despair.

The shelling stopped, and there were not many living people on the river beach. Cao Nan asked that no ammunition be wasted.

The Champa people were still increasing their troops, and the fire in the warehouse was getting bigger and bigger, causing Heli and Gadan on the other side to misjudge the situation and think that a victory was imminent.

Countless bamboo rafts were piled on the beach, and more occupying troops swarmed onto the river beach, pushing the remaining troops towards their positions.

Many remnants of the army shouted: "Get back! They are devils! There are devils here!" In a blink of an eye, they were chopped down to the ground by the military judge to prevent them from disturbing the morale of the army.

Finally, a newly landed soldier tripped over something and fell to the ground. When he picked it up, he found that it was an arm.

"Ah -" the sergeant shouted in extreme panic, and countless people discovered that their feet were covered with dense corpses!

The dark area ahead looked like an unknown abyss of hell, and the firelight of the city's affairs turned out to be a huge trap, attracting the occupying troops to move towards hell and death like moths.

Soon they entered the minefield and were pushed in alive by the rear troops.

Today's landmines are no longer just improvised hand grenades by soldiers, but rather big things weighing more than ten kilograms each.

The terrifying roar sounded again, and each explosion was more terrifying than the Thunderbolt Cannon, almost four times as powerful as the Fulu Cannon!

Not to mention the human body, even a giant elephant would probably have its muscles and bones broken and its limbs flying around!

The dense crowd encountered such a violent explosion, and those who bore the brunt were torn into pieces. Then, the outer circle was torn by steel balls and shrapnel, and blood flowed everywhere.

The weapons in the hands of the sergeant at the center of the explosion were given huge kinetic energy by the shock wave, becoming an accomplice in harvesting lives!

The earth shaking caused by the explosion caused ripples in the calm Hoi An River, and the screams from the other side finally made He Li and Ga Dan feel that something was wrong.

Ga Dan said to He Li: "Your Majesty, the situation is terrifying. If those sounds just now were the weapons of the Song Dynasty..."

"Nonsense!" He Li was furious: "Unless they are gods in the sky! They can control thunder and lightning!"

"Aren't those fires and roars on the other side thunder and lightning?!" Ya Dan said anxiously: "Your Majesty! Call the soldiers back first and ask them carefully!"

"There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that if things are abnormal, they will be monsters. In this expedition, we encountered too many strange situations!"

He Li gritted his teeth: "Wait a minute! Didn't you see that the fire in Hoi An Town is getting bigger and bigger? If our army is disadvantageous, can they let the warehouse be burned down?"

Gao Dan put on his helmet and took out the long knife: "Your Majesty, Gao Dan requested to cross the river to find out what's going on!"

He Li thought for a while: "Go ahead, no matter what, bring the news back first."

At this moment, the sound of popping beans on the other side was much smaller than before, but the sound of popping beans was heard again more intensively. Regardless of etiquette, Gadan ran to the riverside and jumped on the few bamboo rafts: "Send me there!"

The dense firelight above the river beach made Ga Dan anxious. When the bamboo raft reached the other side, Ga Dan walked forward in the dark surrounded by guards.

Beside a bamboo forest, countless wounded soldiers and deserters were hiding here.

The guards lit the torches, and the tragedy in the forest was shocking.

Some people are dead, some are still moaning, and most of them have empty eyes and expressionless eyes, as if their souls have been taken away.

Seeing the light of the fire, everyone around them was so frightened that they backed away wildly, shouting and yelling. The contagion spread throughout the bamboo forest, and some people began to kill each other with knives.

A sergeant walked over with an infatuated look on his face and a weird smile on his face: "Hehe...boom...dead, all dead..."

"Stop!" the guard shouted and clamped the knife on the soldier's neck.

The sergeant was unconscious and continued to move forward. The guard could not retract the knife in time and cut the sergeant's artery in one stroke.

Blood spurted out under the firelight. The sergeant was still moving forward, muttering: "Dead...all dead..."

Finally, he fell to the ground, his hands and feet began to twitch, and finally stopped moving.

The roar in front stopped, and Gadan drew out his sword: "Let's go to the front!"

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in front of them, and then it turned into footsteps. Then, several remaining soldiers rolled down the slope in front, as if there were demons chasing them behind them.

"Stop! What happened?!" No one answered, everyone ran frantically towards the place where the bamboo raft was parked.

There was a crackling sound, and several guards around Gao Dan suddenly fell to their knees. The guard holding the torch suffered the worst. When Gao Dan turned his head, he happened to see his eyeballs being blown out by something, and then a ball exploded from the back of his head.

Brain like paste.

Gao Dan suddenly fell down, rolled down the slightly blocked slope like the previous soldiers, and ran to the water: "Go back! Go back quickly!"

After jumping on the bamboo raft, Ga Dan turned around and saw something seemed to fall from the sky. Then, there was a roar and a flash of light in the bamboo forest where he had just been.

Cao Nan's mind was extremely vicious, and he kept this bamboo forest, making the Champa people think that it was a safe zone, and now there are countless soldiers hiding in it.

This was the most intensive bombardment. Explosive flashes occurred one after another in the bamboo forest. In Gao Dan's eyes, it was like an invisible giant beast capable of breathing thunder, lightning, and gunpowder smoke, wreaking havoc in the bamboo forest!

The bamboo shadow staggered and fell, and countless soldiers were thrown out of the forest, and then fell to the river beach, where they never moved again.

The bamboo raft became the only life-saving thing, but the second round of artillery fire happened to be raging here.

Countless columns of mud and water exploded in the shallow water beside the river beach, breaking and overturning the bamboo rafts. Countless soldiers who couldn't swim ran frantically into the deep water, and then popped their heads a few times, but never came out of the water again.

More soldiers could not care less about the threat of death. There was no room for more people on the bamboo raft, so they grabbed Pao Ze's hands and feet, bamboo tubes, and ropes, and floated downstream.

They have been robbed of their memory by fear, forgetting that as they pass through Hoi An Town, there is the vast sea in front of them.

An even more terrifying thing happened. As the shrill horn sounds sounded again in Hoi An Town, a torch-lit dragon appeared at each of the three gates of the old city and rushed towards He Li's camp!

It’s over! Standing on the bamboo raft in the middle of the river, Gao Dan looked at the cries of killing on both sides of the river. He knew in his heart that the 70,000 troops occupying the city and He Li’s imperial dominance were over!

The Song people obviously have such sophisticated weapons, but they have been hiding their clumsiness. They have been waiting for the king to be unable to suppress his greed and take action against Hoi An!

This gives them an excuse to fight back.
