Several bloody heads hung over the head of the city of Tumen Pass, the head was no one else's, it was Mrs. Chen Yu, the general of Tumen Pass, this lady was the lady of the Li family who he had just "married", and the reason why she was killed was because her father surrendered to the government.

After learning the news, Chen Yu not only ordered to cut down the people who persuaded him to surrender, but also cut Miss Li, who was like a flower and jade, to show his determination.

One only has to see the head hanging from the city gate, and people will understand that it must be a tough battle.

"Brothers, listen well, this Tumen Pass is a one-man pass, a dangerous pass that cannot be opened, don't look at us only 2,000 people, as long as we stay here, these dog officials will fight their heads and don't want to take Tumen Pass......"

Chen Yu, who was standing on the Guancheng, encouraged and cheered up the brothers from time to time, and he who had participated in the battle of Ningwu Pass, and even said it specifically.

"Brothers, you have to remember that in Ningwu Pass, tens of thousands of people died in that battle, we fought Ningwu Pass so hard, and it must be even more difficult for the official dog to beat us......

It's a must!

Chen Yu, who led twenty-six brothers from the same village to defect to King Chuang in Nanyang, has been experienced in a hundred battles over the years, and the city has also been attacked a lot, and tens of thousands of people died in that siege.

"It's not like that, it's just such a few people, and they still want to break through our dirt gate and have a damn spring and autumn dream!"

A veteran of the Shun army spat at the Ming army outside the city with disdain - the officers and soldiers outside the city are only a few thousand people, and it is a pipe dream to try to defeat the Tumen Pass.

"Tumen Pass is actually Jingcheng Pass, which was called Jingchengkou in ancient times. It is one of the famous dangers since the Qin and Han dynasties. I built a customs here in the second year of orthodoxy. The pass is named because it is located at the foot of Jingcheng Mountain, and its mountain is high and flat on all sides, and the middle and lower are like wells. It is the fifth of the eight Taihang mountains, and the "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" is called one of the nine stops......"

As soon as Zhu Youzhu's words fell, Li Cheng beside him smiled.

"What's the big deal with one of the nine stoppers, let's shoot it down as it is, the brothers put on their bayonets, and when the artillery blasts open the city wall, we'll kill it......"

Belch!

Stunned, Zhu Youzhu looked at Li Cheng puzzled.

"Artillery?"

"That's right, it's artillery, and we never need to pile up human lives to attack the city! Just use shelling, after all, shells are cheaper than human life! ”

Cannonballs are cheaper than human lives!

And much cheaper.

At least this is a well-known thing in the Pinglu Army, after all, there are pensions for the officers and soldiers who died in battle, in addition to Xuntian, there are also death pensions equivalent to five years and fifteen years of military salaries. In this way, even if an ordinary soldier is killed in battle, the pension paid is more than 100 taels.

And how much is the shell worth, it is not worth a tael, even the most expensive rifled shell, it is only about three taels. And this kind of cannonball, is exclusively for the use of front-loading rifled mortars, it is the "killer weapon" of attacking the city and plundering the land, from Gaizhou City to North Korea, these fifty catties of rifled mortars, again and again tore the city defended by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, whether it is a city wall or a fortress, it can always be easily torn apart.

And Tumen Pass is the first time it has been applied in the mainland!

At the urging of the officers, the gunners ran to the muzzle with the heavy shell, and they aligned the protrusion groove at the tail of the cylindrical shell with the rifling before stuffing it into the breech.

Suddenly, with an order.

In the sound of artillery one after another, clouds of white smoke rose from the position, and columns of white smoke rose up in the trenches, and the white smoke instantly enveloped the entire position, and more than a dozen shells flew towards Tumen Pass in this way.

"Be careful!"

Staring at the smoke gushing out in the distance, Chen Yu on the city shouted loudly, and after a few breaths, with a loud noise, there was a burst of bricks and stones on the city wall, and the cannonballs that smashed on the city smashed through the city bricks and smashed into the rammed earth.

Just when the commander of the Shun army on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a loud noise came from inside the city wall, and a large piece of city bricks and rammed earth were cracked in the explosion.

Although the crack was not big, it still startled Chen Yu.

"What kind of thing is this, it can actually get into the city and blow it up."

For Chen Yu, who had only been in contact with solid bullets, all this was obviously beyond his cognition, looking at the cracked city wall, he was cold in his heart, and looked at the collapsed outer wall with a dumbfounded eye.

"If it goes on like this, it won't be able to withstand a few rounds, and this earthen gate will have to collapse."

Not only were the defenders taken aback, but also the attacking Ming army, and many of them were taken aback, when Zhu Youzhu stared at the cracked city wall dumbfounded, when he couldn't speak for a long time, Zhou Yuji, who was observing the battlefield with a telescope several miles away, was also the first time to witness such an artillery bombardment.

"This, this is what Your Majesty said about siege artillery?"

"With this sharp weapon, why worry about the danger!"

Zhu Yujian said excitedly.

"Quick, quickly send the artillery team to fire, and take the city after the collapse of the city......"

"The capital supervisor doesn't have to be in a hurry, and the front-line officers know what to do."

As soon as Zhou Yuji's words fell, there was a deafening sound of cannons, and after a few breaths, he was hit and there were several collapses on the Guancheng, although the main body of the Guancheng seemed to be intact, but everyone knew that if there were a few more rounds of bombardment, the Guancheng of Ningwu Pass would have to collapse.

The shelling continues.

It's like gnawing bones, every time the shelling, the seemingly solid fortress is collapsing little by little, for the people on the city wall, even those lucky ones who were lucky not to be hit by the cannonballs, not to be hit by broken bricks, are all staring at the rickety wall with pale faces.

In everyone's opinion, the cannon of the Ming army is like an iron drill that is drilled into the rock, and it is constantly "chiseled" into the city wall, and then a wall is opened with a "boom", and the rammed earth that is difficult to penetrate is instantly collapsed.

What's even worse is that the artillery of the Ming army is getting more and more accurate, at the beginning, ten rounds can only hit the city wall two or three rounds, but now it can hit seven or eight rounds, these cannons are like iron drills in the hands of stonemasons, chiseling more and more accurate, knocking on the city wall again and again, knocking on everyone's hearts.

With each explosion, large swaths of rammed earth were thrown under the city walls, but only a little more than a foot high were followed by the walls, and soon the slopes were piled up with broken bricks and rotten earth.

Staring at those dirt slopes, Zhu Shisan's eyes burst out with a burning look, holding a firing pistol, staring at the city wall.

He didn't have a name from King Lu's mansion, he didn't, his father, his grandfather, and even his great-grandfather didn't have a name, because Gaozu didn't get a name until he died, and then his great-ancestor naturally couldn't ask for a name, and in the next few generations, they will be crowned with the name of a clan, as for the rest...... No fart.

I don't even have a name, I can think of anything else.

Even when his father died, he knelt in front of the prince's mansion and kowtowed to a thin coffin, so that his father was buried.

We are also the descendants of Emperor Gao!

In addition to such self-deprecation, what did the identity of Emperor Gao's descendant bring him?

Because of this person's identity, he doesn't have a name, his father doesn't have it, and his son doesn't think about it - his father's name is Zhu Liu, and among the cousins, he is the sixth. His name is Thirteen, and what about his son? Zhu Xiaojiu.

That's it!

"Son, do you know how many people named Zhu Liu are buried in the Zongling?"

To this day, he remembers his father's deathly words.

We are also the descendants of Emperor Gao, why don't we even have a name until we die?

Holding the gun with both hands, Zhu Shisan's gaze became more and more resolute, and the emperor's previous promise gave him hope - at least he could earn a name!

I Zhu 13, Lu Fanshou generation, the five elements belong to the gold......

My son is a word!

With a name, when the children and grandchildren go out, they can also say it in a dignified manner - we are also the descendants of Emperor Gao.

"Thirteenth Master, look at you......"

Seeing that Zhu Shisan's hand holding the body of the gun was light and turned white and blue due to excessive force, he smiled.

"Don't be so nervous, after this cannon is over, we will open the flower shells in the city, and when the thieves are blown to pieces, we will kill them, and we won't be able to kill a few people."

"Sentry, I'm not nervous!"

Zhu Shisan said in a deep voice.

"I can't wait to go into the city now and kill a few thieves......"
