heavy weapon is king

Chapter 387 The Huns Attack, The Battle of Yuanjiang ([-])
Around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Zheng and others drove the armored chariot to the south bank of the Yuan River smoothly.

At this moment, under the orders of the core generals such as Niu Meng and Wu Xuanyin, the [-] soldiers deployed on the entire south bank defense line have already entered a state of emergency preparations.

On the south bank of the Yuanjiang River, which is more than ten kilometers long, a series of light and heavy machine guns, artillery and mortars of various calibers, all turned their muzzles to the north bank of the Yuanjiang River, which is hundreds of meters wide.

According to the news from the scouts, the [-] wolf army of the Huns has just left Mawangpo, a hundred miles away, and is currently heading towards Tiejiling.

Tieji Ridge is about fifty miles away from the Yuanjiang defense line. The Huns marched extremely fast. It is estimated that they should be able to appear near the north bank of the Yuanjiang River after dark.

On the top of a military fort on the south bank, there is a watchtower.

At this moment, under the support of Shen Hongyu, Niu Meng, Wu Xuanyin and others, Nie Zheng stood on the watchtower, holding military binoculars, and kept observing the scene on the other side.

The north bank of the Yuanjiang River was quiet, and there was no unusual movement so far.

Looking up at the sky, it was slowly getting dark at the moment, and it was estimated that in two hours, the sky would be completely dark.

Gently putting away the binoculars, Nie Zheng said indifferently: "Is everything deployed?"

Niu Meng replied respectfully: "Everything has been prepared, just wait for those Huns and Tartars to come and die."

Nie Zheng smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's great. By the way, is there any news from the scouts lurking on the north bank?"

"not yet."

"Keep in touch with them at any time, and we must make them vigilant and take precautions."

Speaking of this, Nie Zheng took a deep look at Niu Meng, and said: "The Xiongnu will bring a hundred thousand elite wolf troops here this time, and they will definitely send a large number of scouts in advance to scout the way. Although our scouts have firearms for self-defense, but I'm afraid that there are experts hidden among the opponent's scouts, in that case, our scouts will easily suffer a lot."

Niu Meng's heart trembled, he cupped his hands hastily and said, "Yes, Commander, this subordinate understands how to do it..."

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened.

Due to the recent gloomy weather, the moon and stars cannot be seen in the sky at all.

The night shrouded both sides of the Yuanjiang River in pitch blackness, and it was almost impossible to see.

On the defense line of the south coast, which is more than ten kilometers long, there have long been dots of lights.

As expected, Nie Zheng was not wrong. Not long after the sky got dark, Niu Meng reported to Nie Zhenghui with a gloomy face: "Marshal, seven of the 42 scouts we sent to the north bank lost contact with us, probably He was targeted by the Huns' spies and scouts."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng frowned, sighed deeply, and said, "It seems that they must be in danger."

After losing seven scouts at once, Niu Meng's mood will inevitably be a little sad, "Commander, I will immediately notify the remaining scouts to retreat."

Nie Zheng nodded, "Tell them to come back quickly. The Xiongnu are coming so aggressively this time. I'm afraid they have sent many experts to scout the way. Although our scouts are elite, they are always hard to beat with two fists."

After receiving Nie Zheng's order, Niu Meng immediately contacted the remaining 35 scouts who were still lurking on the north bank, and asked them to immediately terminate the scouting mission and withdraw as quickly as possible.

With wireless communication satellites, it is convenient to transmit intelligence and inquire about news.

Soon, dozens of scouts lurking on the north bank responded by retreating after receiving the order to retreat.

After rushing to the south bank of the Yuan River this afternoon, Nie Zheng, Shen Hongyu and others basically stayed in the military fort on the south bank defense line.

The army of the Huns may appear on the north bank at any time.

As the commander-in-chief, Nie Zheng must maintain a high level of combat alert.

Although the weapons and equipment he owns now are far superior to the enemy in terms of power and advanced level, but Nie Zheng knows very well in his heart that he must be careful at such times and never underestimate the enemy .

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything unexpected may happen.

Throughout the ages, how many heroes and powerful generals ruined their fame and great achievements because of a moment of carelessness.

Therefore, as long as you can achieve [-]% victory, don't take that one-ten-thousandth risk.

The military fortress where Nie Zheng is located covers an area of ​​hundreds of square meters and belongs to the command regiment of the second regiment commander under Niu Meng. However, it has now been requisitioned by Nie Zheng as a temporary command headquarters.

In a command room with a radius of tens of square meters, bright candles were burning, and the thin face of Marshal Nie sitting behind the desk was illuminated fiery red.

Shen Hongyu gently poured tea for Nie Zheng at the side, while Wu Xuanyin sat on the other side of the desk, with gloomy eyes and a somewhat decadent expression.

After a long silence, Wu Xuanyin sighed softly, "Sun...Sun Shangen, is he really dead?"

Nie Zheng took a sip of the tea that Shen Hongyu handed over, and said flatly, "He's dead, isn't that exactly what you want?"

Hearing this, Wu Xuanyin shook her head and smiled wryly, her expression was complicated and bitter.

He and Sun Shangen, the master of the Great Song Dynasty, were originally brothers of the same school, and they have been rivals in the Tianshijiao since they were young.

In addition, more than 20 years ago, in order to clean up the house, Sun Shangen severely injured his family of three, especially his wife, who died of serious injuries.

Since then, Wu Xuanyin's hatred for Sun Shang'en has never diminished. He has been living so many years in idling, just to be able to kill Sun Shang'en with his own hands one day.

In the end, Sun Shangen died, but he died in the hands of Snow Mountain Wu Wang Han Qianzhang, not in the hands of Kun Yinzi.

But no matter what, Sun Shangen died after all.

Logically, Sun Shangen died, he should be happy, but he couldn't be happy at the moment. On the contrary, there was an inexplicable sadness and emptiness in his heart.

Seeing that Wu Xuanyin was in a low mood, Nie Zheng sighed softly, and said, "Why, Sanren are regretting that Sun Shangen didn't die at your hands?"

Wu Xuanyin shook her head and smiled, "It's sort of..."

Before he could finish his words, Nie Zheng and the others heard a rush of footsteps from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Chong, the head of the Second Regiment, suddenly came to Nie Zheng and reported loudly, "Marshal, there is movement on the north bank of the Yuanjiang River!"

Hearing this, Nie Zheng lifted his spirits, and immediately ordered: "Go, go out and have a look!"

Nie Zheng took the lead, leading a group of guards and generals, and went straight to the watchtower on the top of the military fortress.

Soon, they appeared on the watchtower more than ten meters above the ground with solemn expressions.

Nie Zheng stood at the front edge of the observation deck, holding a telescope in his hand, looking in the direction of Luo Chong's finger.

When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his face darkened on the spot, and a cold light shone in his eyes.

"The Huns, are they finally here!"

Hearing this, Niu Meng, Wu Xuanyin and others who were guarding the side took out their binoculars and looked forward.

On the other side of the Yuanjiang River, about a dozen miles away from the defense line on the south bank, above the pitch-black night sky, a group of extremely dazzling lights suddenly appeared.

Those lights were very bright, floating in the air row by row, flying towards the south bank extremely quickly.

Relying on their formidable strength, Niu Meng, Wu Xuanyin and the others forced their eyes to be filled with true energy, and after a closer look, they found that the lights floating in the night sky were actually huge and strange spaceships.

Seeing this scene, Wu Xuanyin took a deep breath and murmured, "The Flying Eagle Warships are the Flying Eagle Warships of the Huns. There are at least thirty of them."

"Flying Eagle warship?"

Nie Zheng sneered and said, "Hmph, no wonder the Huns dared to attack at night. It turned out that they came here with the help of flying eagle warships."

At this moment, Niu Meng took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Commander, shall we use bazookas and heavy machine guns to knock down the Huns' eagle warships?"

Nie Zheng shook his head and said, "The enemy's warships fly too high, and the heavy machine guns and bazookas can't hit them at all."

Niu Meng was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Then according to the commander-in-chief?"

Nie Zheng waved his hand, and said proudly: "You just need to guard the river bank. I have my own way to deal with those flying eagle warships in the sky!"

"Yes, handsome..."
