"Pass my order, and the second platoon of artillery will continue to attack until the limit number of times."

Seeing that Tongguan seemed to be standing still, although Tian Wei sighed in his heart, he still gave a cold order.

The first column of hot artillery was withdrawn by the artillerymen gritting their teeth, and the hundred heavy guns of the second column were pushed up again with a creaking.

Tian Wei took a deep breath and ordered sharply: "All artillery pay attention, start salvo bombardment again, and you must completely destroy this southern city wall!" ”

"Order!"

The commander of the artillery of the Tang Army, who commanded the firing of the artillery, held the red order flag in his hand again.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

The heavy artillery roared, the embers flew away, the smoke filled the sky, and after another round of heavy dragon cannon salvo bombardment, the sound of huge iron bullets crashing and the collapse of the city wall was like the roar of death, and it resounded continuously.

The entire eastern city wall of Tongguan, large pieces of gravel are splashed, and the rammed earth in the city wall flies out like rain, and the pheasant moat and the female wall like a torn piece of cloth fly in all directions.

Only a few rumbling sounds made the earthquake tremble, the entire eastern city wall, showing a more broken and peeling shape, the outer wall bricks peeled off in large pieces, the inner ancestral lining bluestone also cracked one by one, like performance art everywhere thick and deep cracks, more unscrupulous on the wall teeth and claws, the city exposed a miscellaneous brick and stone wood, even more splashed everywhere.

"Keep attacking, don't stop!"

"Order!"

Soon, the 100 heavy dragon guns in the second column were also fired, and the eastern wall of Tongguan became more and more damaged, but it was still strong and could not be held up.

Tian Wei did not stop for a moment, and immediately gave the order, and let the third column of 100 heavy artillery pieces push forward and continue the attack.

Looking at the third column of the Tang Army's artillery array pushing closer and closer, and seeing the huge black artillery muzzle rushing from the gate, Li Guo's heart beat like a drum.

What to do?

Or do you want to shrink back and wait for them to attack?

No, you can't let the Tang army attack recklessly like this, no matter how strong Tongguan is, you must not just be a target to fight and kill!

If the Tang army continued to shoot and shoot artillery like this 800 paces away, then even if this Tongguan could hold on, his subordinates, even if they had more soldiers and horses, would be demoralized by such a one-sided bombardment.

Sitting back is the most incompetent and stupid solution.

Then, the only way for me now is to seize the time, take advantage of the superiority of troops, and order all the defenders to rush out together and kill these damned Tang artillerymen, and we must not let them shoot their tens of thousands of subordinates like targets.

Thinking of this, Li Guo's face was almost distorted.

The current plan is to survive in this way.

At this moment, Liu Tichun, the Guangshan Bo who had been silent next to him, shouted at him: "Haohou, the enemy soldiers are so powerful, the artillery is so fierce, if you can only rely on the pass to defend it, I am afraid that there will be a mistake in the end, in case the Tong Pass is broken, our army has no danger to defend, can we only die here?" I also hope that the Marquis will make a decision as soon as possible, and quickly lead the troops out of the customs to fight, so that there can be a glimmer of life! ”

The muscles on Li Guo's face kept twitching, he glanced at Liu Tichun, but shouted at him: "Grandma, Uncle Guangshan is right, if you continue to guard like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape death in the end." Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight to the death! Listen to me, before the Tang army comes, you quickly lead 10,000 elite defenders, as the vanguard commando, to break through the pass, and go all out to raid the Tang army's gunners, as well as the musketeers who will appear, and you must try your best to fight with them in close combat, so that their artillery guns will not work. As long as you can fight them smoothly, the general will then lead all the soldiers in the city to fight out. We must do our best to defeat these damn Tang troops and try our best to keep Tongguan safe! ”

"Yes! I understand it under it! “

Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun wiped a handful of oozing cold sweat, and answered the order loudly with a stiff face. Subsequently, he quickly selected 10,000 soldiers and prepared to go out of the city to fight in close combat with the Tang army that was getting closer and closer.

A brutal battle between hand-to-hand battles is finally about to begin.

Just as the fourth column of the Tang Army was finished and the fifth column of artillery was about to be pushed forward, the east gate of Tongguan suddenly opened with a bang.

Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun, led 10,000 elite Shun troops, rushed out of the fortifications with a loud shout, and rushed towards the front of the marching Tang Army's battle array.

Seeing the Shun army rushing out of the fortifications and rushing towards themselves, in the Tang army's formation, the artillerymen who pushed the artillery forward immediately stopped and all withdrew from the formation, and then, a large number of musketeers quickly came to the artillery array, and then immediately set up a formation, ready to meet the enemy.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang 。。。。。。"

With the leading captain of the Tang Army, the three rows of Tang Gunners quickly formed a three-stage strike formation in the front and rear rows.

Among the 6,000 shots, the 2,000 in the front row was fired first.

Then, the first row stepped back to the back of the third row, followed by the second row of 2,000 Rums.

Then the second row retreated to the first row, and the third row of gunners came up and fired another 2,000 Lumi guns.

At this point, a complete three-stage blow is completed.

After the third row of gunners was completed, the original first row of gunners had already loaded gunpowder and bullets, and continued to go to the front, ready to start a new round of firing again, and the three-stage attack process began again.

The sound of gunshots like bursting beans rang out densely, and the muzzle flames formed a row of dark red flying fire curtains, and thick white smoke immediately surged up on the shields lined up in a straight line.

Countless whistling three-penny tinny bullets let out a slight scream, and shot away towards the Shun army that rushed towards the opposite side.

These hot and hot tiny millet bullets roared away, and immediately pierced into the bodies of those Shun soldiers like hot knives piercing butter.

Under the almost endless, seemingly endless blows of the Tang army, the thousands of Shun troops who rushed to the forefront were instantly shot and killed more than 800 people in the first three-stage salvo.

And Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun, who led the charge, was quite different because of the bright armor he was wearing, so he himself could be called a bullet magnet.

The Tang Army's first three-stage salvo, a full fifteen lead bullets, hit him at the same time, leaving Liu Tichun from head to toe, covered with dense small blood holes.

Liu Tichun, the general of the Shun army, who was originally brandishing a war knife and shouting to rush forward, stopped rushing forward as if he had been suddenly hit with a heavy hammer. After being stunned for less than a second, he fell to the ground on his back and did not move again.

When he fell to the ground and died, his eyes widened, as if he didn't want to believe that he had been shot so quickly by the Tang Army, but the chaotic infantry behind him continued to rush forward, and soon trampled the general Liu Tichun, who led the charge, into a thin slice of meat.

The leader Liu Tichun was killed, and he encountered a head-on attack on the Shun army, which suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was in chaos.

The remaining 9,000 or so Shun troops, although they were numerous, were already scurrying around like headless flies, and as soon as they were a little sluggish, everyone turned around and fled as if they were crazy about gain and loss. A very large number of people lost their weapons and just wanted to run faster.

It's just that the interval between the next three shots is extremely short, and the dense and non-stop Lumi guns completely dispelled their desire to escape, and countless lead bullets caught up with them and shot them from behind to kill more than 600 people.

After seeing the remaining more than 8,000 Shun troops retreating backwards in an extremely embarrassed posture, the Tang army gunners packed up their weapons, and after shouting an order, they continued to maintain a stable formation with the soldiers and horses of the main formation behind them, and continued to advance in the direction of Tongguan.

Seeing this tragic scene, the main general Li Guo and all the Shun troops watching from the city were suddenly beaten.

Depend on! The firearms of the Tang army were so powerful, this was not a war at all, but an outright massacre.

Moreover, what the hell is going on, the Tang Army's firecrackers are not like the firecrackers seen in the past, but they have been continuously released endlessly, this, this is simply a nightmare!

After all, in the impression of all the Shun troops, as long as the Ming army's guns were usually withstood the first round of salvos, then, in the next few minutes, the Ming army was in the most defenseless state because it had to reload the ammunition, and it was just seizing such an opportunity to carry out a surprise attack.

It's just that what is now beyond the imagination of the main general Li Guo is that the Tang army on the opposite side, the dense thousands of Lu Mi guns, as if they will never stop, actually defeated the 10,000 Shun army troops who wanted to be strangled in close combat on the spot in one go, killing a lot of injuries, and the corpses were in disarray, which was simply beyond everyone's imagination.

Such a dense and concentrated shooting, as if it would never stop, was completely different from any Ming army that had been faced before. This kind of almost endless firepower, this kind of slaughtering battle that wiped out all the attacking troops, dealt a huge blow to the hearts of the Shun army.

Such a near-deathly ending made the Shun army no longer have the courage to assault, and the remaining more than 8,000 troops all ran with all their might, just hoping to escape back to Tongguan as soon as possible.

At this time, the most anxious and panicked person was Li Guo, the main general in the city.

What to do?

The Tang Army's offensive was so fierce, could the remaining soldiers under his command who were demoralized and demoralized and had no fighting spirit, as well as those even more unbearable temporary summons, really be able to withstand it?

Li Guo's face was full of fear and confusion.

At this time, the Tang army had already marched rapidly again, and came to an accurate shooting range more than 300 steps away.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang bang bang! ……”

It was again a dense and endless, as if the sound of the beating gun would never stop, sounding densely like popping beans, and those Shun troops who fled at the end were immediately shot as a group of unlucky eggs.

Such a one-sided and complete slaughter can be regarded as an extremely happy thing for the Tang army, but for the Shun army, it is simply an infernal hell.

With the rapid increase in the number of casualties, the confidence of the Shun army guarding the city was also greatly damaged, and even in Tongguan, chaos began to appear rapidly. Many of the young men who had been summoned temporarily threw down their weapons as if they were crying when they saw the large number of defeated troops, turned around and fled backwards.

"Don't run, don't run, fuck you don't run!"

Li Guo's eyes were blood-red, and he shouted at the young men who had fled.

It's just that he shouted to cut his throat, but it didn't have much effect, and those young men who had been frightened out of their souls, and even more defenders, began to leave their posts one after another, taking advantage of the deeper and deeper twilight, to flee into the depths of the city.

At this point, Li Guo's soldiers and horses guarding Tongguan had 8,000 deserters who had fled in front of them, and there were a large number of young men and defenders who had fled backwards at the head of the city, and the entire defense had become a complete state of disorder.

Seeing that the defenders were in chaos, Tian Wei, the commander of the Tang Army, immediately issued an order for all the cavalry and spearmen to chase and kill the deserters who broke into the city gate, hoping to rush into Tongguan with them, fish in troubled waters, and follow in, in order to succeed in the sneak attack, so as not to continue the artillery siege.

Under the bright spring sun, more than 4,000 armored and murderous cavalry of the Tang Army, like a god of death, roared horses' hooves, guns pointed at knives, and slashed and killed those enemy troops who could not escape.

At the same time, a large number of Tang army spearmen in full armor and armed with sharp steel spears also jumped out from behind the shield soldiers, and hurried forward, following the enemy soldiers who had fled in rout.

Such a one-sided battle to hunt down the remnants of the enemy is simply the happiest thing in the world.

For a time, the Tang army's spearmen and cavalry formed a benign interaction on the battlefield, the spearmen chased the routed soldiers, the cavalry outflanked them, and the two arms attacked together, destroying the fleeing enemy troops in large groups, and inflicting a devastating blow to them who fled for their lives.

At a glance, the entire empty suburb outside the east gate of Tongguan is like a human slaughterhouse, and the ground is covered with the corpses of enemy soldiers, horizontal and vertical, shocking, overflowing blood everywhere, mixed with rainwater, actually merging into a red blood river.

This long river of blood, meandering and long, Yin Hong is dazzling, making people's hearts palpitate and chill, which shows how cruel this killing is.

As the Tang Army's assault arrows, the two cavalry did not stop all the way, like two large and sharp black arrows, attacking forward, their goal was to penetrate straight into the rout and break into the east gate of Tongguan as soon as possible.

Of course, along the way, for the enemy infantry who fled on both sides, those Tang cavalry with full armor and sharp swords and guns, of course, would not give them a chance to flee for their lives. They were like the Grim Reaper chasing their lives, slashing and slaying down the routs who fled in wailing along the way.

The entire Shun army's defensive position suddenly became an extremely terrifying human slaughterhouse.

At this time, Li Guo, who was screaming and screaming in the city, felt the pain in his heart that was difficult to describe in words.

Fuck, this fucking fight is so damn that it can suffocate people to death!

At this time, some of them were covered in blood and fled back to the rout in embarrassment, hurriedly ran to the city, and said in a trembling voice to him: "Haohou, our army is completely defeated, and it is impossible to clean it up, but at this moment, where should we go?" ”
