The daily training of the artillery of the Qin army was quite rigorous.

How to quickly load and shoot accurately, how to rotate shots to avoid overheating of the guns, etc., the Qin artillery has a fairly strict understanding and training in daily life.

Xiguan couldn't raise his head at all when he was hit by the artillery of the Qin army, let alone counterattacks and the like, and he couldn't find a chance to fight back at all, the whole feeling was that he had been beaten all the time, but he couldn't launch even a little counterattack against the enemy.

If it weren't for the silver taels and grain sent down from the mountains before, as well as some military supplies that gathered people's hearts, the Xiguan garrison would have collapsed a long time ago, but in the current situation, I feel that even if it does not collapse, it will not last long.

Because the firearms of the Qin army were really fierce, in addition, they were attacking all the time, and they did not stop from night to night until the early morning of the next day.

The noise was so loud that even if they were hiding behind Houguan and Tucheng at that time, the defenders of Xiguan could not get enough rest, and they were very tired.

The fatigue tactics of the Qin army were very successful, and the people on the Sea Dragon Hoard had not had a good rest for almost two days.

It's better to say that except for Yang Yinglong, who fainted, everyone else didn't dare to rest at all, and when they opened and closed their eyes, they were full of artillery sounds and shouts, how could they fall asleep?

Under extreme fatigue and high-intensity pressure, weak-willed people will go insane and make some very strange actions, and this kind of behavior is often contagious, and can often lead a large number of people who are already extremely mentally unstable by one person, and directly destroy the situation of the war.

The Banzhou native soldiers, who had been under the devastation of the Qin army's artillery, finally couldn't bear it, and some mentally disturbed people appeared.

They howled and rushed out of cover, running desperately to get out of the place, but often with bad luck, they were either hit by the shells or killed by the aftermath of the shells falling to the ground.

The guards at the head of the city could not control the army at all, so they could only let them slowly collapse, and near noon, Liu Wei continued to observe the appearance of the head of the city of Xiguan with a clairvoyant mirror, and after discovering some clues, he realized that the time had come to attack.

"One last siege, give me a drum! Press it up! Besiege!!! ”

Liu Wei gave the order to siege the city, the war drums rumbled, and the heavy drums drove the fighting spirit of the Qin soldiers, and they all realized that the time had come to break the city.

The Qin soldiers rushed to the city of Xiguan like a tide, set up a ladder, carried the hammer of the city, and launched the last wave of crazy attacks on Xiguan.

Wu Yong's headquarters in the third round of attack had already eaten dinner, rested for a quarter of an hour, and the whole army recuperated, and drove from the rear city to Xiguan City to prepare to take over Liu Wei's attack.

There is still half an hour before the end of his attack, and it is estimated that it will be the last attack.

Liu Dadao has never wasted the opportunity, he will definitely fight bravely when he encounters military merits, he was very excited to break through the back pass before, and now if he can go to the next city, the credit will be even greater.

How could Liu Dadao let go of such an opportunity?

The Qin army frantically rushed up to the city tower, frantically slashing and killing the Banzhou native soldiers on the city tower, the Banzhou native soldiers were already chaotic, and now they are even more precarious.

Wu Yong rushed to the vicinity of the battlefield first, looked at the Xiguan City Tower with a clairvoyant mirror, his mouth wide open, and his face was incredulous.

"This big sword Liu won't be going to make meritorious service again, right?"

Wu Yong couldn't believe that Liu Ling's luck was so good, and he could get credit for attacking twice in a row?

After the West Pass was taken, it was the last pass Wan'an Pass, and after Wan'an Pass, in addition to an earthen city wall, the Qin army could rush to the top of the mountain to launch the final blow to Yang Yinglong, and Yang Yinglong couldn't escape even if he put on his wings.

Moreover, if Xiguan is breached, the psychological blow to the Banzhou army will be even greater, and they will be more afraid of the Qin army, more afraid of the Great Qin court, and will lose the will to fight.

Although this road is not easy to walk, if the West Pass is broken through on this day, it will be equivalent to breaking through the two major levels for two consecutive days, slapping Yang Yinglong in the face, and greatly boosting morale, making all the Qin troops rejoice and increase their confidence in victory.

Not to mention, although the mountain road behind this is not easy to walk, and there are small fortress checkpoints everywhere, but the morale of one side is like a rainbow, and the other side is depressed and wants to die.

This strongest fortress in Banshu, which has never encountered a war since its establishment, seems to be not as strong as imagined, so some people say that it is man-made.

Although Wu Yong was a little unhappy in his heart, Liu Ling's luck was good, but he couldn't help but rejoice.

The Great Qin army is a whole, and if it can't fulfill His Majesty's order, everyone has no good fruit to eat, and they can't earn military merits, so if Liu Ling wins, he can also get benefits.

Although his mood was rather conflicted, when Wu Yong saw that someone in Xiguan City began to wave Daqin's Flying Dragon Battle Banner and deafening cheers, he couldn't help but be excited and clenched his fists fiercely.

"Good fellows! Dadao Liu really has you! ”

When the sun set on the eleventh day of the first month of the second year of Longwu, the Xiguan was broken, Liu Wei and Liu Dadao made great achievements again, and the troops broke through the Xiguan, and the Qin army rushed in, and began to sweep the chain fortress behind the Xiguan, the battle continued, but the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and it was already unstoppable.

When Liu Wei's department withdrew exhausted, Zheng Ying personally greeted them and rewarded them with meat, Liu Wei was also severely credited, and he was full of pride, and when he was proud, Liu Wei saw Qi Dayong's face as black as the bottom of the pot.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ling asked Zheng Ying -

"Zheng Shuai, the last general, please share the merit with General Qi's department."

Qi Dayong was stunned, and Zheng Ying smiled slightly.

"Why?"

"Because the reason why our army won a complete victory, there is also the reason why General Qi led his troops to storm for three hours before, because of this, our army can break through smoothly, Your Majesty often says that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the cool, and I took advantage of the cold of others, and I was embarrassed to take all the credit for myself, right? I'm still going to have a little face. ”

Liu Wei smiled embarrassedly.

Zheng Ying looked at Qi Dayong, Qi Dayong blinked, scratched his head as if he was a little embarrassed, and he was not embarrassed to speak.

This is a good thing, Liu Wei knows how to share the credit.

Liu Ling's reputation as a small merit-grabbing expert has continued from the former Ming Dynasty to the Great Qin Army, and it is really not easy to make such an improvement now, and Zheng Ying also feels comforted in his heart.

Zheng Ying's side is in full swing, the situation is very good, far away in the suburbs of Beijing, Xu Guangqi's side is also working hard to contribute to the victory of the war.

Under Xiao Ruxun's instructions, Xu Guangqi completed the work of equipping the shells with wooden soft supports, and successfully increased the shelling range of the Hongyi cannon and the Fulong cannon.

At the moment, there is no doubt that the task of improving all aspects of the Flowering Bullet and making a Flowering Bullet that can be hit farther away is very difficult and will be long-term.
