Chapter 174 Onslaught(2/2)
The remaining mines exploded from time to time, and the trenches in front were getting closer and closer. The Union soldiers behind realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked them to lie down.
The small field artillery in the port area received the signal and started shelling. The Konot army below the trench directly raised their guns and came out. The intensive artillery fire and bullets swept away the "slave army" not far away one by one.
After one round of firing, the field artillery was quickly moved, and the Konot garrison soldiers lifted the artillery directly to the temporarily assembled simple track and pulled it away.
Artillery support from the sea followed, and several original artillery support positions were destroyed one by one. The artillery that could not be transported away in time was abandoned and turned into fragments.
In front of the trenches on the shore, the coalition soldiers directly commanded the slave army to use the corpses of their companions and the terrain to build an offensive fulcrum.
If you don't attack as soon as possible and wait until the commanding heights and other artillery positions push back the artillery support from the warships at sea, you will become a target of concentrated fire.
It was absolutely a one-sided massacre on the flat seaside. The Union Army soldiers took out simple artillery units and began to clear the fire points in the trenches.
Some suicidal slave soldiers also came forward with bombs, but many died in front of the trenches.
How could the Konot guards in the trench let these things in? They fired at their explosive packs one after another. The place was covered with gunpowder smoke for a while.
The scattered artillery in the port area began to provide support at various scattered points. However, if they were not grouped together, they would lose a lot of power, but they would also most likely avoid being covered and cleared by the gunfire of the warships at sea.
There were a few fewer steam battleships, and there were also a lot fewer sailing ships behind them. Hermione let go of the crushed roof stone. The bloody scene below was hard for her to accept now.
Somewhere in the defense line, there were scattered stumps. Half of the people crawled back with their last breath, and the trench was blown open... The gunpowder smoke took away that part of the defenders, leaving only a gap.
Several nearby small artillery responded and quickly blocked the front area there with artillery fire, blocking the slave troops who wanted to rush in. The defenders behind quickly stepped forward to fill the gap.
