Although there was an elite on the first level of the Sea Dragon Hoard, it was right to think about it, in this case, any level was broken through, and what was brought to the Sea Dragon Hoard was a devastating desperate blow to the Banzhou native soldiers.

The psychological effect of the level being breached is far greater than the actual effect, and it may even directly destroy the will to resist of the native soldiers of Banzhou on the Sea Dragon Hoard.

Therefore, even if only one level is breached, it is unacceptable for Yang Yinglong and the Sea Dragon Hoarding Defenders, if you want to defend it, you must defend it all, and any level that is broken through is destruction.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted for an hour, and the Qin army still did not take the city tower, and the fierce battle on the city tower intensified.

More and more soldiers of the Qin army rushed up the city tower along the ladder to join the bloody battle, but the Banzhou soldiers in the city just did not retreat, and they completely forgot about life and death with red eyes.

The Qin army, with excellent armor and sophisticated weapons, failed to force the Banzhou native soldiers into a desperate situation when they had an advantage in military strength and weapons, and the battle situation gradually stalemate.

An hour later, the Banzhou reinforcements arrived, and the Banzhou native soldiers did not retreat but advanced, and began to gradually recapture the stronghold of the city tower occupied by the Qin army, the Qin army was unwilling to retreat, and desperately fought back, and the battle on the city wall became more intense.

Whether it is the Qin army or the Banzhou soldiers, they are desperately fighting, or even fighting without their lives, the city is full of swords and swords, and from time to time there are corpses falling down the city tower, there are Qin troops, and there are Banzhou native soldiers.

In terms of the overall situation, the Qin army failed to occupy an advantage, and it is estimated that it is also the reason why the Guancheng is too high and difficult to climb, so the number of the Qin army has always been too small to act.

And after the two armies were close to each other, the crossbows and bird-stalkers under the city did not dare to fight any more, and only the dragoons with rifled flintlocks could strike a little and give some support.

But these supports were somewhat insignificant after the arrival of reinforcements from the Banshu native soldiers.

The Qin army's attack was blocked, and it has not been able to open the situation, and the bloody battle has lasted for more than an hour, Qi Dayong's brows in the clairvoyant mirror are furrowed, and blue tendons appear on his forehead, if it were not for the captain of the staff to stop him, he would have personally taken the weapon into battle and took the lead.

The battle situation was unfavorable, seeing that the time was almost up, Qi Dayong was really unwilling to let the advantages he gained in exchange for losing his troops cheapen the later generations, but the rules had been set, and he couldn't violate this rule.

In the end, Qi Dayong's army lost several hundred soldiers and failed to take Houguan Guancheng, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Although the army also maintained a complete formation when retreating, the soldiers in the city suffered heavy losses when they retreated, and although they were covered by crossbowmen, the losses were still not small.

Qi Dayong's whole army retreated, and at this time, Liu Wei's department, who had already eaten meat and dry rice, finished recuperating, sharpened his knife Huo Huo and closed back, seeing Qi Dayong's department retreating, Liu Wei walked forward with a smile and patted Qi Dayong's shoulder.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, Lao Qi, if I win this Guancheng, half of the credit will be given to you, and I won't take advantage of you!"

Qi Dayong's face was as black as the bottom of the iron pot, and he slapped Liu Wei's hand away: "Let me tell you Dadao Liu, this Guancheng is not so easy to fight, and you may not be able to get by with the losses I suffer!" ”

Liu Wei grinned: "Okay, okay, okay, I've been fighting for three hours, are you tired?" Hurry up and bring someone to lunch, don't tire the soldiers out. ”

Qi Dayong left angrily, Liu Wei watched him leave with a smile, turned his head, and showed a solemn expression.

"Although Qi Er is stunned, he has a bad heart, but he has a set of leading troops, and he has his own rules, and the Qinglong Battalion is the most elite corps in the Great Qin Army, so he can block the Qinglong Battalion, I'm afraid this level is really not easy to take."

His staff captain Li Sheng spoke: "General, it's not that the Qinglong Battalion is not good at fighting, nor that the native soldiers in this city are capable of fighting, but that there are not enough troops in the upper city to open the situation, and the troops under the city are not enough to cooperate. ”

Liu Wei glanced at Li Sheng: "What do you think?" ”

"The view of the subordinates is to use the Hongyi cannon and the Furlong cannon to bombard the city tower alternately, the Hongyi cannon shoots from a distance, and the Furlong cannon is close to shoot intensively, and when the bombardment is almost over, then use the Weiyuan cannon to open the flower shell and sweep the local soldiers in the city.

After a battle, its firearms were destroyed, the power was greatly reduced, we lined up artillery arrays under the city, bombarding indiscriminately, they could not carry out an effective counterattack, they could only be pressed by us, we only left an hour to attack the city. ”

Li Sheng's words surprised Liu Wei a little.

"You mean to blow up the city for two hours and attack the city for only one hour?"

"Yes, try our best to save the lives of the soldiers, the shells are gone, you can continue to make them, the guns are broken and recast, and it will be difficult to train the soldiers if they are gone, we have more than 100 Furlong machine guns, six Hongyi cannons, if they are not fully used, what is the purpose of bringing them over? Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter! ”

Li Sheng wanted to make full use of his own advantages to defeat the morale of the Banzhou native soldiers, not to engage in hand-to-hand combat so quickly, but to use firearms to consume the combat effectiveness of the Banzhou native soldiers on a large scale, and then attack the city.

Liu Wei only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Li Sheng's tactics, so when the second team of Liu Ling's troops launched an attack, they did not rush to attack the city, but gathered all the artillery and bombarded the city indiscriminately.

The Banzhou native soldiers at the head of the city obviously had never experienced such intensive and indiscriminate bombardment, and in the face of the combined bombardment of the Qin army's Franco machine guns and Hongyi artillery, the entire city was in a mess, and the Banzhou native soldiers were running like headless flies everywhere.

It's not that no one wants to fight back, they want to fight back, but just when they were manipulating the artillery to aim at the Qin army's artillery array under the city and preparing to counterattack, the Qin army's Weiyuan general artillery began to shoot.

Before they could counterattack, they were blown up by the flowering shells that fell beside them, and a few cannons were fired sporadically, which did not cause any trouble to the Qin army at all, and they were drowned in the artillery bombardment of the Qin army.

Looking at the Banzhou native soldiers who had no way to go to the sky and no door to the ground at the head of Houguan City, Liu Wei put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and his face was full of embarrassment.

"In the battle of North Korea that year, in the battle of Bihuguan, His Majesty mobilized 200 artillery pieces of all kinds to bombard the Japanese invaders indiscriminately, and the Japanese invaders collapsed, so that our army could advance steadily, defeat the main force of the Japanese invaders in one fell swoop, and complete the encirclement.

That battle annihilated tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, so that the Japanese were frightened, and Seoul fell, and now it seems that on this battlefield, swords, guns, swords, and halberds are no longer as good as before, whether it is a bird gun or artillery, the whole army is more and more convenient and more effective.

I also heard that the Ministry of Military Industry has a full fund of 300,000 taels of silver a year, and those who study firearms in it can contribute will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. ”

"Isn't it? The subordinates also heard that His Majesty is asking people to study other new firearms, some firearms have been made out, and they are being tried in the capital, if it is suitable, they can be sent to the army for trial, and there are more and more firearms, more and more powerful, in the future, will we mainly rely on firearms to fight, this sword, gun, sword and halberd or something, there is no need for it? ”

Li Sheng told Liu Wei his guess.
