Chapter 318: Guarding the Pass (3)

Hearing Liu Juntao's words, Sun Xu was slightly taken aback, but he still carried out the order without hesitation.

At this time, the Wara army, which was filling in the second trench, was in danger of everyone, and suddenly found that the artillery fire of the Ming army had stopped firing, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

Even the Chinese army's Yexian and Totobu also laughed, at this time everyone thought that the artillery of the Ming army could no longer threaten the besieging army after a long period of shooting!

Therefore, he also ordered the army to attack rapidly, and the morale of the 5,000 watts of soldiers and horses in front of the battle was also greatly boosted, and the speed of filling in the trenches was also faster, and it did not take long to fill in the second trench.

After that, the 5,000-watt army rushed to the front of the horse rejection formation, but it was still under the cover of shield carts and shields, and it did not take long to enter a distance of one or two hundred paces from the city wall.

Seeing this, Sun Xu shouted loudly: "All the soldiers are ready!" ”

At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks and the Strange Barracks are ready one after another, especially the thousands of bird gunners have been filled, and they can shoot the Tartar army outside the city as soon as the main general gives an order.

Then, the army of Warat outside the city began to clear the horse rejection array outside the city, and many soldiers and horses had already rushed to within a hundred paces of the city wall.

So, as soon as Sun Xu gave an order, thousands of bird-stalkers began to fire in a volley, and a roar suddenly sounded on the city, and the fierce gunpowder smoke rose in an instant, almost covering the entire Juyong Pass city.

With the flickering of firelight, countless lead bullets swept in, and immediately knocked down a large part of the Warat army outside the city, and most of the Warat soldiers who were clearing the Horse Rejection Formation were even more startled.

Many Warat soldiers who had fought with Liu Juntao's troops looked at the city in horror, listening to the fierce roar of birds, these Warat soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit, and they actually began to flee directly!

Immediately afterwards, more and more Warat soldiers began to flee, and the deserters, who were originally sporadic deserters, turned into a rout tide in the blink of an eye, sweeping away the entire Warat array!

Liu Juntao didn't expect that the second round of Warat's attack would be defeated so quickly, at this time, the artillery of the artillery team had not yet finished dissipating heat, and Liu Juntao had no intention of risking fire, so he did not speak.

And Sun Xu also waited until the Warat soldiers escaped out of the range of the birds, and ordered the soldiers to stop shooting.

He also looked at the Warat soldiers who gradually fled back, his face was very ugly, and he said to Totobuhua: "Great Khan, the area around Nanguan in Juyong Pass cannot pass through the army, and Liu Juntao has also deployed enough soldiers and horses, we can only attack the main Guancheng, so that the Ming army can defend with all its might!" And it's getting late today, I think we should collect our troops and return to the camp first, and come back to attack the city tomorrow morning!" ”

After all, the morale of the army is not high now, and forcing it to fight can only increase casualties, so it is better to go back first, and then think carefully about a good way to attack the city.

Liu Juntao stood at the head of the city and looked at the gradually moving Warat army, sighed slightly, and said to Sun Xu: "Let the soldiers rest, there is still a big battle to fight tomorrow!" ”

Sun Xu thought for a moment and asked, "General, should we send people out of the city to repair the trench and the horse rejection array?" ”

Liu Juntao thought for a while, then shook his head, if the Ming army and the Warat army were tugging back and forth on the two trenches, not only would it not be able to delay for long, but also it would not be able to kill and injure the troops of Wara, only by entering the siege battle, would there be a chance to kill and injure a large number of Warat's troops.

Therefore, Liu Juntao said: "No need! Those two trenches won't last long, and we will finally have to see the real chapter in the offensive and defensive battles with the Warat army! ”

Early the next morning, Tokhok Buhua and also led the army to kill again.

After a night of planning, this time the two did not divide you and me to attack, but gathered 10,000 troops together and stepped forward, preparing to fight with the Ming soldiers to the end.

Moreover, there were archers who rushed through 3,000 people in this 10,000-strong army, which could counterattack the fire of the Ming army.

Among the weapons of the accompanying army were all the remaining dozens of shield carts, seven rush carts, and ten trebuchets.

At the same time, he also continued to mobilize troops and horses, preparing to provide a steady stream of reinforcements to the front line.

It seems that the first and the tokhok are ready to make a desperate bet, and the two are still worried that the main force of the Ming army will come and encircle and annihilate themselves outside Juyong Pass.

"Woo~Woo~"

Under the cover of shield carts, the army of 10,000 watts quickly rushed towards Juyong Pass, and it did not take long to cross the position of the two trenches.

Seeing this, Sun Xu immediately said loudly: "Bird! Fire! ”

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The fierce bird-like array began to roar, and the fire like a storm immediately slowed down the momentum of the Varat army's attack, and at least hundreds of Varat soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

At the same time, Sun Xu saw that the rear team of the Warat army had also crossed the first trench, so he shouted: "The artillery team fires!" Bombard the rear of the Warat army! ”

Immediately afterward, twenty artillery pieces began to roar, and one after another the cannons dragging the smoke smashed into the rear of the Warat army, which immediately stirred up bursts of blood mist.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Listening to the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, the hearts of the first and the detached Buhua trembled, but both of them gritted their teeth and strictly ordered the army not to retreat, and at the same time ordered the archers and trebuchets to start firing back.

"Put!"

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

The 3,000 archers in the Varat army began to fire a salvo, and the rain of arrows in the sky was just in the air, and they smashed towards the head of Juyong Pass.

At the same time, ten trebuchets also began to eject, with a loud noise, ten stones roared and smashed towards the city, and immediately smashed the city head into flying stones, many soldiers were injured, and even three soldiers were directly hit by the big stones, and died on the spot.

At this time, Liu Juntao had been forcibly pulled down from the city by the guards around him to avoid the rain of arrows from the Wara army, and Sun Xu also roared loudly, letting the long knife step forward with a shield in hand to cover the bird-gunners who were shooting.

However, even so, the Yanzhou Mansion Zheng Barracks and Qi Barracks began to have casualties, and most of the casualties were caused by the archers of the Wara army!

Sun Xu looked through the gap in the shield, and was immediately furious, at this time the gunners of the artillery team had withdrawn, the artillery had stopped firing, and the firepower of the Ming army was only left in the large array of birds.

"Concentrate your fire! Shoot the archers of the Tartars! ”

At this time, the range of the Wara archers is almost the same as that of the Ming army's bird guns, and now the competition between the two sides is who can withstand the huge casualties, and it depends on who can't support it first!

In the blink of an eye, inside and outside Juyong Pass, the roar of thousands of birds, and the sound of countless arrows piercing the sky, constantly intertwined, pushing the already noisy battlefield to a high ~ tide!

Soon, the Warat army advanced to the city of Juyong Pass at the risk of huge casualties, and in an instant, hundreds of cloud ladders were erected one after another, and countless Warat soldiers began to climb the cloud ladders, ready to kick the city to fight!

The two of them almost gave the order to increase the troops in unison, and the 10,000 Varat army that had been assembled rushed forward with a strange scream, and in the blink of an eye, they gathered with thousands of Varat soldiers on the battlefield.

Sun Xu saw that the Tartar soldiers were about to enter the city, so he shouted: "Ash bottle! Golden Juice! ”

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army at the head of the city have begun to kill and injure the Wara soldiers with rolling stone and wood, after hearing Sun Xu's order, the Ming soldiers will have already prepared countless ash bottles on the city and throw them into the city, and the more than 2,000 Wara soldiers gathered under the city were suddenly shrouded in thick gray-white smoke!

"Ahh My eyes! ”

"Ahem! Cough! Choke me! ”

"Help!"

Suddenly, Juyongguan screamed under the city, and the more than 2,000 Warat soldiers who gathered together to prepare to enter the city were either dead or wounded, and they all circled around the city and screamed, and the Warat soldiers behind looked at the front with a frightened face when they saw this, and even many people retreated again and again.

At this moment, a strong foul smell came, and then under the gaze of countless Warat soldiers, dozens of steaming golden liquid poured down from the city, and poured on the heads of the more than 2,000 Warat soldiers under the city.

Suddenly, a foul smell mixed with the smell of meat spread, not only the Ming soldiers on the city covered their noses and vomited, but the Warat soldiers outside the city also turned pale and vomited!
