"Go, order the logistics team to take out all our explosives bags, and let the artillerymen aim for me at the troops who are rushing up with sacks." Pang Lingming took a deep breath, took out a shiny bayonet from the narrow leather bag hanging from the belt around his waist, and loaded it on the rifle in his hand. The inadvertent action made almost all the soldiers around him begin to repeat the action of their commander, the war has been fought so far is the courage of the soldiers to fight bravely, the Anxi Corps needs to exchange their blood and sacrifice for time, and the Tiance Army also needs to prove their ability with courage and iron blood.

Tens of thousands of heavily armored soldiers with large shields in front of them resisted the attack of the Tiance army, and countless lightly armed infantry behind them began to charge forward with sandbags full of sand and gravel. This method of fighting in the Central Plains was not uncommon, but in the opinion of the Safavids, it was able to pave a road leading to the city walls in the shortest possible time, so that their hoplites could ascend the city along this passage. Although the firepower of the Tiance Army was strong, it was so strong that even these heavy armored soldiers wearing heavy armor and staring at the large shield could not directly face the bullets that were constantly being fired from the opposite side. But if you rush to the front, then the power of these bullets will inevitably be greatly reduced, relying on the almost invincible combat power of the heavy armor troops, you will definitely be able to win the secret in one battle.

However, what the Safarids never expected was that when they launched an all-out onslaught, ignoring the countless artillery fire and bullets pouring down from the towers, and were bent on building a passage to the towers in the shortest possible time, an army of 20,000 men behind them had already launched a rapid attack on them. In order to intervene in the battlefield faster, Zhang Sheng didn't even have time to wait for the artillery unit behind him to keep up with his pace, and directly rushed forward with a field force of 20,000 people. At the beginning, because of the countless noises on the battlefield, and the continuous explosion of cannonballs from the towers, this earth-shattering explosion made the Safariads not realize for a moment that there was an army rushing towards them outside the battlefield. And along the way, there were no scouts at all, which also made Zhang Sheng a little surprised, originally he had discussed with Qin Kong, and it was impossible for the other party to not notice his support behavior, so Zhang Sheng was ready to attack, as long as the other party did not ambush himself so strongly, he would attack strongly, and the Tiance Army, which relied on 20,000 artillery troops in the field, was really not afraid of this group of short-legged infantry.

At this time, Pang Lingming, who had experienced the most difficult moment on the city tower, saw a familiar figure at this time, Qin Kong didn't know where to get out and appeared on the city tower.

"General Zhang has already led the army to support, and I hope that General Pang will hold on for half an hour." Qin Kong saw that all the soldiers along the way looked at him with red eyes, and understood that this group of soldiers who had stuck to the limit were already comparable to the main battle troops of the Tiance Army, so after seeing Pang Lingming, he didn't say much, and directly said the words that made everyone's blood boil, his reinforcements were coming, so what are you waiting for, so in an instant, all the soldiers of the Tiance Army on the wall of the northern city burst out with an unprecedented momentum, and many soldiers couldn't help but roar angrily even when they opened fire. Soon the news spread throughout the entire Secret Tower, all the soldiers knew the news, relying on the news that reinforcements were coming, Pang Lingming played a strong wave of counterattacks, and the constantly falling explosive packs almost made the tactics of the Safarid people fall short, and the continuous explosions directly blew up the ramp that was already almost paved to the general level, and a big hole in the middle made everyone stunned.

At this time, Zhang Sheng had also arrived at the attack position, looking at the other party's rear army personnel who found themselves panicked, Zhang Sheng smiled coldly, and then waved his hand to let everyone into the battle, countless bullets flew up at this moment, and the panicked Safard army in front almost collapsed directly, in just ten minutes, Zhang Sheng even led everyone out of the attack position before the artillery arrived, and rushed forward, along the way, countless grenades accompanied the running Tiance Army soldiers' bodies quickly flew forward, And quickly landed and exploded in a short period of time, and the sound of continuous explosions in the air blocked the sight of all the Safarids, but before they could react, countless bullets began to follow up frantically, and thousands of Safarid soldiers were killed on the spot at this moment.

Zhang Sheng's Anxi Corps did not understand the classic tactics of the Tiance Army because it had not undergone the professional reorganization of the Tiance Army, and they did not know the tactics of the three-three system, but the consequence of the continuous firing of 20,000 rifles was that in the short charge of hundreds of meters, the five bullets in the rifle magazines of all the soldiers were almost all exhausted, so that when the first row rushed to the first line, the soldiers behind could not provide large-scale fire support. In desperation, the Tiance Army had no choice but to hurry up and load bullets while frantically throwing grenades around, relying on the short-distance most direct fire support weapon, the Anxi Corps did not fall into the embarrassing situation of being surrounded by the other side because of its madness and inexperience. However, after reloading the bullets one after another, the firepower advantage of the Tiance Army was once again brought into play, and those Safarihs who were close at hand, only a dozen feet away, were directly killed without even reacting superfluously. The Safarids followed the combat tradition of the Heavenly Sect country, focusing on the development of infantry charges and heavy armored troops, and the development of nomadic rangers or archers was not good, although they also had very famous archers, but the salvo and archery skills of ordinary troops were not good, which also led to the fact that the Tiance army was easy to kill their opponents at close range.

At this time, everyone who was fighting on the city tower saw this scene, Pang Lingming's eyes were moist even for a moment, and he fought for several days with the mind of burning jade and stone to guard and protect the secret, guarding the south gate of Khotan, his own commander and his troops did not fail him, and rushed up at his most difficult time. Pang Lingming can imagine that Zhang Sheng should have been almost sleepless these days, so that he could rush from Xiaobolu to protect the secret in just a few days.

"Brothers, go out with me, and the artillerymen will fill me with all the shells to meet the general." Pang Lingming's roar was supported by all the brothers who were fighting, and after just ten minutes, Pang Lingming gathered 3,000 troops and rushed out of the city gate to start fighting hand in hand with the army outside the city.

In fact, at this time, the Safarid people had already reacted, although a large number of people were killed by this wave of attacks, but at this time, the main general of the Safars side also began to summon all his troops to gather and prepare to encircle Zhang Sheng through the sound of the horn. After all, after Zhang Sheng's impact speed slowed down, the other party had already seen his accurate number. There are more than 20,000 people, and the difference in numbers in front of the current army of more than 60,000 is really too big, which makes the other side full of confidence.

"Go and see when the artillery in the back will be able to go into battle? If the mechanical crossbow is loaded, shoot it in advance, and shoot it wherever there are many people. After Zhang Sheng led the combat troops to stabilize the formation, he immediately sent troops to urge the artillery. In fact, the mechanical crossbow has partially found a position due to the weight factor, but the crossbow arrows of the mechanical crossbow are too fast to fire and must be carried in large quantities, so the ammunition group has not kept up. However, Zhang Sheng's urging still had an effect, and then the chilling whistling of the mechanical crossbow across the sky began to sound from the rear, and in order to support the front line as soon as possible, these operators did not even have time to wait for the scouts to bring back the target in front of them, and fired rapidly at the area in front of them with the most loud voices. After this round of shooting, a large area of the Safavid army in front was emptied, and the crackling explosion was far away, and I thought it was the sound of firecrackers, but if you get closer, you will find that the second round of explosions produced after these crossbow arrows are fired is not inferior to the previous piercing shot, and the metal storm caused directly killed all the targets within a radius of three feet around. In fact, at this time, the latest improved mechanical crossbow in the equipment department is completely different from the mechanical crossbow used by Zhang Sheng at this time, the latest mechanical crossbow has been renamed rocket artillery by Li Xuanqing, and it is also loaded with a new generation of shells with the most primitive gunpowder jet device, but the shape is similar to the crossbow arrow, but the body size has become much shorter, and the rocket artillery of later generations has been a little similar. The launcher that was improved from the ballista was also partially improved. It's just that this latest type of rocket artillery is limited by logistics and transportation, and cannot be sent to the northwest for the time being. But in Zhang Sheng's eyes at this time, the mechanical crossbow was already flawless, and this wave of shots directly broke the opponent's large-scale counterattack, winning plenty of time for his side.

Zhang Sheng immediately followed the attack wave played by the opponent after seeing the mechanical crossbow put into the shot, this time it hit directly on the opponent's soft underbelly, and the time that needed to be adjusted after the formation chaos just suffered by the shelling was caught by Zhang Sheng, under the crazy bullet shooting, the Safarians who did not have time to command and appeared to be chaotic were knocked down in pieces, this kind of large-scale battle damage was originally impossible to appear, but just now it happened that the middle command structure of the mechanical crossbow was knocked out, so that the soldiers below lost their command, Some of the soldiers began to be dazed, some began to spin in place, while others continued to carry out their original attack mission, and all of them could not use their strength together. The Safavid army, which continued to attack, was isolated and faced with the rain of bullets of the Tiance army alone, and was almost completely wiped out.

At this time, Pang Lingming also led the army out of the city to participate in the battle, although the number of 3,000 people was very small, but Pang Lingming ordered the cannons on the city tower to cooperate with Zhang Sheng's action when he went out of the city, but at this time, the cannons that were transferred from the south city began to rely on cannonballs round after round of shells to shell the outside of the city, because there was no need to worry about the defensive task, and began to unscrupulously implement the artillery bombardment tactics of barrage Xu Jin. At this time, the artillery finally made everyone feel the power of the real king of the battlefield, and countless Safarid troops were torn apart and collapsed in this shelling. And this rush quickly gave Zhang Sheng a chance to attack. Taking advantage of the fact that the orders of the other party's command were becoming more and more difficult to convey to the front line, Zhang Sheng ordered the troops to start a counteroffensive, and 20,000 people began to fight against the trend.

"Order everyone to come with me, and we'll go capture the other party's commander." Zhang Sheng's counterattack quickly made Pang Lingming feel it, but unlike Zhang Sheng thinking about how to defeat the other party, Pang Lingming's only thought at this time was to kill the opponent's coach. The Safarid people believe in the Celestial Religion, and many people wear unique hats when they go out, and even the military flag is a religious flag. Through the past few days of fighting, Pang Lingming knew this opponent better than Zhang Sheng, so he took advantage of the chaos with the 3,000 people he had gathered to start attacking and headed towards the opponent's position in the Chinese army.

To be honest, Pang Lingming's actions are very dangerous, at this time, whether it is the artillery unit brought by Zhang Sheng or the artillery on the city tower, they choose to carry out large-scale artillery bombardment towards the opponent's deep position to cover the attack of the infantry troops, and Pang Lingming wants to assault the Chinese army at this time, and if he is not careful, he will be bombarded by his own artillery. After all, the Chinese army is the elite of the opponent's army, and it is also the place where all military orders start, so large-scale artillery will basically choose to block this place with a large number of shells, in addition to large-scale destruction of the opponent, it is also to cut off the opponent's command system.

However, Pang Lingming obviously didn't take this into account, and rushed directly with his three thousand people, and even followed the extension direction of the artillery shells directly in order to speed up, which made it more dangerous, but the speed was greater. Because after the shelling, people were all on their backs, and the Safarid troops who were blown up could not resist at all, and even if there was resistance, it was quickly solved by the 3,000 rifles in their hands. In this way, without Zhang Sheng knowing, Pang Lingming actually quickly approached the opponent's Chinese army in the sea of people.

"Order everyone to take out all the grenades, and I'll count one, two, three, and throw them as I run, and I don't believe that the flesh and blood of this old thing's personal guard can stop our grenades." Pang Lingming looked at the Safar coach Salazi in the crowd in the distance and smiled coldly, and rushed towards the crowd in front of him with his troops, not even caring that the other party had already counterattacked him.

"Three-two-one, throw." Pang Lingming watched the other party getting closer and closer, and suddenly roared angrily, and the more than 500 people who were arranged in the front almost pulled the cable with a grenade and threw it out. In an instant, more than 500 grenades landed and began to explode, and the Safarid troops who rushed up in a dense formation were directly blown up.

"Okay, just do it, the follow-up grenades will follow immediately, and everyone will rush with me." Pang Lingming took the lead in stepping on the smoke and dust from the grenade and rushed up, after the other party was blown up, he saw Pang Lingming rushing up and didn't care about adjusting, the military order from the rear came again, and this group of people stepped forward again, but they were blown up again by the second round of grenades. And relying on this round after round of grenades to sweep at close range, Pang Lingming stubbornly broke up the three blockade lines of Salaqi and arrived at a distance of less than 100 meters from the other party.

At this time, Pang Lingming was already heavily surrounded by the other party, although the three thousand people quickly lined up in a huge garden formation and began to move continuously, and the three thousand rifles kept shooting to prevent the Safarid people from approaching, but the other party had obviously decided to completely eliminate this small army, and even ignored the increasingly fierce offensive of Zhang Sheng outside. However, Pang Lingming turned a blind eye to the opponent's offensive at this time, and instead quickly asked more than two hundred rifles of the personal guards around him to raise them at the same time, aiming at the core of the crowd in front of him, and in the center was Salazi, who was wearing a white robe of the Heavenly Fang Sect.

"When you join the army in the next life, remember not to dress so conspicuously." Pang Lingming smiled coldly, pressed Salazi's figure into his aiming card slot, and immediately pulled the trigger. And with this action, more than 200 rifles of his personal guard were aimed at the same target almost at the same moment. It's just that at that moment, after the gunshot, the white robe burst out with blood in an instant, and it was red and dazzling.
