Chapter 1051: Pioneer of Engineers

"Ah. This. Nothing. There are still some private matters in there." Shang Wen explained nervously.

At this time, Meng Yi felt that Shangwen's approach was very unreasonable.

"Private matter?" Meng Yi asked at this time.

"Yes. A private matter." Shang Wen replied.

"That's it. Individual, individual. It's a matter of personal friendship." Shang Wen said with a stiff arm waving a little at a loss. The more he wanted to explain something, but the more, it made him find it difficult to explain what was in between. Shang Wen didn't know what to say about this matter. Had to suppress this matter.

"I, I think you know, between me and the Queen of Korea, I once helped her. Yes. I helped her." Shang Wen saw Meng Yi with some suspicion. Then he took the initiative to explain.

"So, she has a good impression of me. So...". Shang Wen didn't know how to explain it next. He himself didn't know how to continue.

"She." Meng Yi said at this time.

"Yes, it is her. We, we are just friends. Friends only." Shang Wen said at this time.

And Meng Yi still looked at Shangwen with a surprised attitude at this time.

"Okay." Shang Wen said simply at this time.

"We are just friends. A person should have many friends. The same is true for female friends. They have more or less things. This is a kind of trust between friends. I know you may not believe it. But, This. That's it. There is nothing between us. Nothing." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Oh. Okay. You don't need to explain so much." Meng Yi said with a smile at this time. He believes that the relationship between Shang Wen and the Queen of Korea is a bit ambiguous. This is a private matter. Shangwen has never brought personal matters into office matters, and he is different from others, as if he values ​​private matters very much. For example, personal letters, and personal things. He never let others take the initiative. Even small things like pouring drinks are rarely entrusted to others. Meng Yi didn't know if this was Shangwen's intention, or if he was used to it. In short, Shang Wen has too many secrets in personal matters.

Shang Wen understood a little at this time. The more I explain this matter, the more complicated it becomes.

"Well, let's discuss the tax reform." Shang Wen changed the subject at this time.

"Okay." Meng Yi picked up again at this time to discuss and formulate a new taxation bill. And Shang Wen can only temporarily ignore this matter.

And in Xinzheng, South Korea. Han Shu is looking at the bright moon outside Hanwang's palace.

"Hey." Han Shu sighed with a sigh.

"Why. Why." Han Shu asked unwillingly.

"Why. It's always like this." Han Shuxin said unwillingly.

The prosperous palace was so cold in Han Shu's heart at this moment. The cold directly enters the bone marrow in the body.

Emotional things are always so unpredictable, but also impenetrable. Human beings are humans because of their emotional complexity. We call them humans because of their emotions.

And under the dark night. The situation in the north is changing.

In the trenches on Zhao Jun's position. Zhao Jun is the soldiers crowded in the trenches, many of them are waiting nervously for orders. Because their field commander has issued an order to attack in the dark.

"When will we attack?" a corporal asked the first and second sergeant.

"I don't know, this has to wait for orders. According to what I know, it seems that we can only attack when we fire." The Sergeant Major said.

"Oh. Okay. We always do this." The corporal said.

"The rumble of cannons will bring us good luck." The second sergeant chief said.

"I hope those **** shells don't fall on our heads, otherwise, our little lives will be over." The corporal said irritably.

"Those shells will kill the Qi army." The second sergeant said.

"Furthermore, we started the offensive after the shelling was finished. I think we will go smoothly," said the second sergeant.

"Why did we dismount and rush over. We ride over and rush over, isn't it the same? That way the battle can be resolved more quickly." The corporal asked at this time.

"I don't know, maybe there are obstacles in front. It can only be carried out after the infantry has passed. Who knows. Wars are always like this." said the second sergeant.

"We are not those who are officials. How can we know what we think above." Second sergeant chief continued.

"It's always like this, who let us soldiers. Even if it is brought to the chief, it is also a soldier. Right, sergeant chief." The corporal said angrily at this time.

"I don't need to be in the front line at least." The second sergeant replied.

"It's not funny at all," the corporal said at this time.

The Sergeant Major shrugged helplessly at this time. Before the war started, everyone was tense to varying degrees. They can only talk boring things to each other in order to relieve the pressure, but the time to really relieve the pressure is when the war starts. At that time, the war can be regarded as the real release of the pressure.

And on the commanding heights not far away. The artillery of Zhao Jun are preparing nervously.

"Move the ammunition box here. Hurry up," commanded an artillery sergeant.

"But, sir, this does not comply with the combat manual." A gunner said.

"At this time, you have to listen to me, we are launching quickly." The artillery sergeant said loudly at this time.

"Rapid firing, you know, what a rapid firing is a short-term rapid firing." The artillery sergeant master shouted loudly.

"When the cannons start to fire, you have to carry those ammunition back and forth. I don't want to see you idiot running to death. Also, if there is any loss of the cannonballs, at that time, we called the loss even greater. I .Much more experienced than you idiot. Hurry up and carry the ammunition." The Sergeant Chief shouted at him.

"Yes. Sir." The gunner immediately began to act.

"Sergeant Major." At this moment, a captain came over and shouted.

"Yes, sir." The Sergeant Chief said attentively.

"Control your voice. Understand?" the captain said after looking at the sergeant.

"Yes. Sir," the sergeant chief whispered.

"En," the captain replied.

"How are you preparing?" This time. The captain asked.

"It will take some time," the Sergeant Major said.

"Well, there are still twenty minutes, you guys as soon as possible. After twenty minutes, we are going to fire." This time. Said the captain.

"Yes. Sir," the Sergeant Chief replied.

And on the other side of the battlefield. The Qi army's defenses are weak.

This is the edge area of ​​the river beach ice, because there are ice blocks passing by during the day, and at night there are obstacles formed by ice piles. The defense set by the Qi army here is very small. There are even fewer defenders here. Therefore, Zhao Jun chose this place as a breakthrough. They want to put the strongest cavalry in this place. Because Zhao Jun believes that they would never expect that they would use cavalry to assault each other in the most unlikely place.

But Zhao Jun also fully considered the obstacles that the cavalry might encounter in the assault.

"We must first use engineers to clear a passage for the cavalry. If there is no passage, it will be difficult for the cavalry to pass." The brigadier general said at the meeting.

Therefore, in front of the cavalry is the engineer unit of Zhao Jun.

"This piece of ice cannot be cleaned up." A private soldier whispered to the sergeant behind.

"Then give up and mark the rope. Keep going." The sergeant crawled behind. They can't disturb the defense of Qi army. And Qi Jun because this is the reason for the defensive blind zone. He actually drove away privately. They did not guard this area at all.

quickly. The privates and the sergeant continued to advance. The engineers behind Zhao Jun used ropes to draw a passage. This passage will guide the Zhao Jun cavalry to a new path.

The cavalry troops do not disturb each other to the utmost extent. The horses were also treated in detail, and they used branches to tie up the horse's mouth. Don't let the horse make a sound. For the horseshoe, they are wrapped in leather. This can reduce the sound of horseshoes. The soldiers of the army were told that they were going to lead a horse for a certain distance. Only then can the attack be launched. All these preparations are for the assault from the edge of the Qi army. Zhao Jun came well prepared.

On the opposite side of the Qi army, although a high level of vigilance had been issued from above, the situation in which the soldiers deserted was still very serious. In many front checkpoints. The Qi army had no defense at all. These positions were originally used to warn the Zhao army to launch an offensive, but now, they have no one and no defense at all.

And in the main position. The soldiers of the Qi army didn't care that this was a battlefield at all, and they slept without scruple. This is a serious mistake, and if it is wrong, it can lead the other party to destroy oneself.

"Ready." An artillery lieutenant shouted loudly at the Zhao Jun artillery position at this time.

And all the gunners were nervously waiting to fire at this time. A gunner is holding a arquette in his hand. The artillery of this period switched to the firing method to ignite the shells. This method is much more powerful than using torches. At the very least, they are not too afraid of damp weather.

"Let it go." The artillery lieutenant waved his arm heavily.

"Boom." A loud cannon came.

"Boom." Then another artillery sounded.

"Boom." Two more artillery fired. Zhao Jun assembled all the artillery they could assemble, a total of seventeen artillery pieces, of which ten were large-caliber artillery pieces. They will concentrate their firepower on their opponents.

"Swish swish." The cannonball whizzed and flew towards the Qi army's position.

"Boom." A huge explosion sounded on the Qi army's position.

"Boom." Then there was another explosion.

"Artillery attack." A Qi army soldier exclaimed loudly.

At this time, some soldiers of the Qi army ran out of the trenches regardless of anything, thinking that their positions had been captured. There is no need for them to stay there anymore.

"Bang." A cannonball flew over and landed in the midst of several Qi army soldiers who had fled. They were hit by the flying shrapnel and fell to the ground.

"Come back. Come back all. Running out will only die faster." At this time, a centurion shouted loudly at this time.

But his loud yelling didn't have any effect at all. There were still many soldiers who fled desperately, and they didn't even care about their officers' squabbles.

"Run now. Zhao Jun will fight over in a while." Just when the officer stopped shouting, two Qi Army soldiers curled up together, one of them said to the other soldier.

"You are not allowed to run, and all those who run away will be killed." The centurion said loudly to the soldier at this time.

The two soldiers nodded blankly.

"No running. Whoever runs, I will shoot." The centurion shouted loudly at this time.

"Boom." At this time, a shell fired over. The loud explosion masked his voice. The soldiers ran more and more amidst the explosion. This is the spontaneous behavior of the soldiers, which will cause many soldiers to flee desperately because they have given up resistance as a whole, and their personal resistance has no meaning at all. War is a collective act.

"Bang bang bang." Qi Jun Centurion, holding the pistol in his hand, fired three consecutive shots at the back of an escaped Qi Jun soldier. The soldier was killed on the spot.

"Come back. Don't run away," the centurion roared loudly.

"Swish." A shell flew in untimely. "Boom." There was an explosion.

More soldiers jumped out of the trench, and they ran to the rear.

"Desert," the centurion cursed loudly.

At this time, in Zhao Jun's position, except for the roar of artillery, and the sound of explosions not far away, there was continuous. Quietly in the trenches, many Zhao Jun soldiers crowded in the trenches waiting for an attack order.

The Zhao Jun officers looked at their watches nervously. The order they received was that the artillery fire would attack for ten minutes, and then they would launch an attack. Ten minutes of artillery fire is too little for them, but their logistical supplies can only support so long. If it grows longer, their shells will really run out. Giving ten minutes of bombardment is already an exceptional gift.

"Which." As the last shell flew out, the pointer on the officer's watch had moved two marks. This means that the bombardment has been carried out for a full ten minutes.

The sound of the cannon stopped immediately. At this time, the officer stopped looking at the watch in his hand. Then waved the revolver in his hand.

"Go forward," the officer shouted.

"Kill." The Zhao Jun soldiers rushed out with their bayonet rifles, or rifles, and brandishing sabers in their hands.

"Kill." The Zhao Jun soldiers did not line up in a certain formation to approach their opponents, but flew out with their weapons. They were not infantry. Sometimes infantry likes to use some queues to slowly approach the opponent, but that tactic has been abolished by Zhao Jun. Because the practical effect of this tactic is not very good. Soldiers lack a certain degree of freedom to avoid the flying shrapnel, and those shrapnel often cause extraordinary lethality to the entire formation of soldiers.

Therefore, Zhao Jun directly abolished it. Along with it, skirmishers attacked the formation. Soldiers will follow the same direction, but the formation of skirmishers will no longer be strictly required to attack the opponent. The advantage of this formation is that the soldiers will have a certain degree of freedom to avoid shells. At the same time, the distance between the soldiers is widened, and the density is reduced a lot, which reduces the effect of shrapnel killing.

"Charge." The Zhao Jun soldiers waved their weapons and slammed towards the Qi army's position.

"All enter the battle position, ready to shoot." The only person in the centurion's hand held a weapon and waited for the fatal blow from the opponent. They have given up the retreat, because at this time the retreat is already a dead end.

And on the other side. Zhao Jun’s engineers were about to clear a passage. They just ran into a little trouble at the end.

"There is a wall of big ice in front. We need to get them open." A corporal engineer climbed over and said to a lieutenant.

"No, that would be too time-consuming." The lieutenant said at this time.

"What do you do then?" the corporal asked.

"With explosives, we have to explode with explosives. Only in this way can we quickly clean up." The lieutenant said at this time.

"Take explosives, we are running out of time." At this time the lieutenant said to the corporal.

Said a sergeant climbed to the front with explosives.

Behind the engineers are the cavalry anxiously waiting.

"What are those engineers doing?" It was a cavalry lieutenant colonel who attacked. He will lead a battalion pieced together to attack the opponent's flank.

"I don't know, sir," a captain on the side replied.

"Oh." The lieutenant colonel sneered. Such an answer made him feel not funny at all.

"Go and see, how long it will take them, the battle over there has already started." The lieutenant colonel said to the captain at this time.

"Yes, sir," the captain said. The captain left immediately.

In the distance, the rumble of cannons had ceased, and there were bursts of screaming and killing from time to time.

"Bang." A soldier of the Qi Army took a rifle in his hand and fired at the approaching soldier of Zhao Jun.

"Shoot." Qi Jun Centurion took a pistol and fired at the Zhao Jun soldier.

"Bang Bang." The soldiers of the Qi Army fired with rifles desperately to prevent the opponent from approaching.

"Kill." The soldiers of Zhao Jun kept approaching Qi Jun's position shouting killing. They are getting closer. Although soldiers of Zhao Jun continued to fall, the soldiers of Zhao Jun behind quickly made up for it. Not only that, they were getting closer and closer to Qi Jun's position.

"Mother. I'm fighting with you." After saying that, a Qi army soldier shot all the bullets and quickly rushed towards the opponent with his bayonet rifle.

"Kill." Seeing the first Qi army soldier rush to kill him. The rest of the soldiers rushed out with their guns regardless of whether there were bullets in their rifles.

"Kill." More and more Qi army soldiers joined the impact.

"Kill." A soldier of the Qi Army took advantage of the altitude. They dived down. Using this advantage, they quickly assassinated a soldier of the Zhao Army with a bayonet in length.

"Bang." However, a soldier who followed Zhao Jun used the **** of the rifle in his hand to slam the opponent's head fiercely. All of a sudden, the blood of the opponent flew straight.

"Bang." A rifle **** slammed a Qi Army soldier's neck fiercely, and the Qi Army soldier was knocked to the ground due to pain. Then the rest of the soldiers swiftly stepped forward to make up for it.

"Puff." The Qi army soldier's neck was chopped off on the spot.

Although the guns of Zhao Jun’s soldiers are short, they can use the **** correctly. The Qi Jun has not yet a systematic use of gun bayonet fighting skills. This makes them very disadvantaged.

The soldiers from both sides fought hand in hand. But Zhao Jun had the advantage in numbers, but Qi Jun didn't. Many of them fled. Only a small number of people still insisted on their positions, which suddenly led to an absolute disadvantage in the number of people in their positions. In the fight, this is fatal.

Qi Jun's resistance lasted for a relatively short time. After a **** battle. Zhao Jun finally entered the position of Qi Jun. Sporadic resistance can no longer play a decisive role.

"Victory." Zhao Jun's soldier shouted loudly.

At this time, a big flag with the word "Zhao" was flying high above Qi Jun's position. Qi Jun lost the first line of defense.

On the other side. Zhao Jun’s engineers have quickly arranged explosives.

"Fire." The lieutenant gave the order.

"Puff." A corporal quickly stepped forward and ignited, and then quickly ran back to the cover. The engineers held their heads and lowered themselves to hide behind the concealment.

They anxiously waited for the explosion. The explosion is a signal to them.

"Boom." A huge explosion sounded.

The ice cubes were blown up and flying around.

After hearing the explosion, the lieutenant colonel led his horse forward quickly. The engineers took a break for a while. They need to wait for those unexploded explosives to explode to ensure their safety.

"Okay. Go go. Go," the lieutenant said loudly as he pulled out his gun.

"Charge." The lieutenant rushed out loudly at this time.

The soldiers following behind also rushed out. They were engineers, but they were also combatants. Among the cavalry, the engineers were more of a vanguard. Many combat operations are carried out along the main road. This kind of offensive method naturally put the engineers in the vanguard position.

"Bang Bang." The lieutenant fired twice in a row. A Qi army soldier who was panicked and didn't know what to do was knocked to the ground. The other Qi army soldiers who were defending were completely suppressed by the sudden explosion.

"Kill." The engineering unit quickly stepped forward.

"Let's surrender, don't kill us." Qi Army soldiers reacted at this time, and they quickly raised their hands to surrender. In this way, under the attack of the engineers, the Qi army made a breakthrough in the place where the original defense was weak.

"DaDaDa." At this time, the cavalry quickly reached the place that the engineer had just occupied.

"The defense of this place really makes us feel shame." The lieutenant colonel said while looking at Qi Jun's prisoners.
