"What the general said is exactly that it is me Meng Lang, but when I saw this traitor, it was he who led the Qing army into the customs and made my northern Ming border fall into the hands of the enemy, and I was resentful in my heart!" Jiang Zhu also bluntly said what was in his heart, his hatred for Wu Sangui was equivalent to Li Guo's hatred for Niu Jinxing, and he hated it deeply.

Qin Liangyu said that it was not bad at all, and sure enough, the remaining Guan Ning army did not retreat in spite of the difficulties, but continued to attack forward, and there was no sign of retreat, although hundreds of people and horses were lost, but their formation did not change, their momentum was still there, and their fighting spirit was even higher.

"The general has a national hatred with him, so he will naturally be filled with righteous indignation, and when he reaches my age, he will be able to do it like water, let's watch it quietly, Wu Sangui This time I want him to know that my Sichuan is not Liaodong, you can let him gallop at will, and when he enters the territory of Sichuan, he is a tiger, and he has to lie on my stomach."

Just as they were laughing and talking, Wu Sangui's Guanning army also continued to move forward, constantly approaching, and at this time, Wu Sangui had already ordered the artillery to start the bombardment, this distance was enough for the artillery to exert its power, so Wu Sangui had to give the defenders as much as possible to hit hard, take Hexi Pass, and insert Chongqing, which could also pose a threat to Tongchuan and have a significant impact on the entire battle situation.

"Boom...... Boom rumbling ......" The sound of artillery fire came and went, and the birds that were miles away were frightened away, not daring to stay, the shells fell on the head of Hexi Pass, many Ming soldiers were hit, and there were many casualties, not that Qin Liangyu didn't want to fight back, but their artillery was all small cannons, not so far away, the Guanning army had not yet reached the range, and the Qing army was a red-clothed cannon, Qin Liangyu was at a disadvantage in this regard, of course, this was also a helpless thing, the artillery was mobilized to Chengdu, and Cao Bianjiao used it, and he had the greatest pressure there, At least his side has an advantage in troops, so Qin Liangyu has no complaints.

In the face of artillery attacks, Hexiguan was indeed passively beaten, which made Wu Sangui very complacent, he didn't expect such a thing, he didn't think that Hexiguan didn't even have a red-clothed cannon, and at the moment it was even more determined that he would fight.

"Infantry first, cavalry behind, musketeers in the center, attack ......" under Wu Sangui's military order, the three thousand elite Guan Ning army began to advance further, this time Wu Sangui learned to be obedient, sent swords and shields to guard on both sides, in case the Ming army jumped out again to sneak attack, and at the same time bombarded the mountains and forests with artillery, suppressing those clowns who jumped into the mountains and forests.

The advancing Guan Ning army did not expect that at this moment, in a place less than ten zhang away from them, in the barren grass, there were hundreds of Sichuan soldiers, they were lying motionless and hiding here, with the cover of the mountains and forests and artemisia grass, they successfully avoided the eyes of the Guan Ning army, no one would have thought that the Ming army would be ambushed so close, right under their noses.

"Bell bell ......" suddenly sounded the sound of the golden bell, those Ming soldiers who were ambushed on both sides of the ravine made the same action, took out the flint on their bodies, and lit the fire rope they held tightly in their hands, after the fire rope burned, they also shrank down, under their bodies, there were deep holes that had been dug a long time ago, enough for them to hide.

"Someone, someone on both sides......" The sharp-eyed man still noticed their movement, and the musketeers immediately began to shoot, but it was too late, they were already hiding in the pits, and it was in vain to hit them from the bottom up.

The sound of the "boom ......" explosion sounded, not the sound of artillery bombardment and explosion, but the sound of explosion, on the road of the Guanning army's advance, suddenly there was fire, smoke billing, thunder rumbling, what they didn't expect was that the Ming army would be buried on both sides, and the ignited * had begun to exert its might, more than a dozen steps apiece, almost drowning the advancing Guanning army in this gunsmoke.

This is the latest production of the Ming Arsenal *, with ceramics as a jar, the size of a human head, filled with pure *, used to burn and explode, but also filled with more than 200 small iron pellets, dozens of six-edged small iron pieces, in the * explosion, these iron pellets, iron sheets will shoot out, striking the enemies around them, it can be said that there are no dead ends in 361 degrees.

"Ah......" Accompanied by the explosion, it was naturally the wailing sound of Guan Ningjun, the power of * can reach thirty steps, but the maximum lethality is limited to ten steps, after all, the technology is limited, which is already quite rare.

Many Guan Ning troops fell to the ground in response, either blown away by the close-range shock wave, or killed and injured by the shrapnel of *, although the Guan Ning army is wearing iron armor, but it is not without dead ends, the face is still the armor connection, that is the weakest place, because the iron pellets and patches are very small, under the strong impact, they can penetrate their iron armor at close range, but the power will be greatly reduced, but once it is hit in the face, it is three points into the bone, and it is difficult to escape.

"What's going on?" Wu Sangui was complacent in the back, but he didn't expect that suddenly an explosion sounded in front of him, or it exploded in two straight lines from both sides, so that he couldn't figure out what was going on, even if the Ming army had artillery to fight back, it wouldn't be so uniform!

"Report ...... General, the enemy is in ambush on both sides*, after we stepped forward, we were ambushed, many people were killed and wounded, please send someone to the rescue quickly! ”

"I see, come on, move on!"

"Boom ......" at this time, the artillery of the Ming army also began to exert its might, before that, the distance was not close enough, but now it is different, just right, it is enough to hit the people in front, and there are corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere in the middle, and their retreat is blocked by their own people, and now they have become a live target for the Ming army.

"Beat the drum and give the order, let the people on both sides come back again, and teach them a lesson!"

In the midst of the rumbling drums, the Sichuan soldiers who had just retreated came back, and after shooting the muskets of their muskets, they also immediately withdrew, and quickly left the battlefield, followed by those who were hiding in the deep pits.

Wu Sangui looked at all this on the battlefield in front of him, in addition to anger, it was painful, there were too many people who died, and all the dead were the bravest and most warlike soldiers under him, who were originally going to let them take Hexi Pass, but they didn't expect that now they are dying here, dying under Hexi Pass, and the others saw the tragic scene on the battlefield, and they didn't have the courage to charge, they all retreated unconsciously. Seeing this scene, Wu Sangui's eyes widened, he never thought that he would lose the battle, or the loss was so huge, he didn't even touch the city wall, he was killed and injured by more than 2,000 people, and lost his combat effectiveness.

"Qin Liangyu, I don't share this hatred with you!" Wu Sangui roared at Hexiguan, but it was only limited to roaring, and did not continue to attack, so many people, dead and wounded here, the military spirit was frustrated, it was unwise to attack at this time, if these people were not carried back for treatment, I was afraid that they would all bleed here, Wu Sangui could only endure this breath and leave it to settle accounts after the autumn.

"Boy, even if your uncle and ancestor come on his birthday, you also need to respect me for three points, just your strength, and this ability, the old body is waiting for you to come, see how many catties you have!" Qin Liangyu also replied teasingly, and in addition to words, he did not let Wu Sangui get half a bargain.
