Chapter 648: Blowing Up the South Pass of the Town (Part II)
After Chen Zhengshi withdrew with his soldiers. There weren't many soldiers left on the towers. Xi Changzhen risked his life with a small number of soldiers to stay behind and continue to observe the situation outside the city. He wanted to be the first to know about the movement outside the city, so he didn't retreat.
Li Zhen instructed the soldiers to bring binoculars and observe the situation on the city tower.
Through the telescope, you can clearly see the reduction of soldiers on the castle tower. Especially looking at the dilapidated Zhennan Pass, Li Zhen's heart became more and more excited. He put down his binoculars, turned to face the soldiers who fired the cannon, and said loudly: "Brothers, the buildings on the castle tower have collapsed, and you are all in good shape. Push harder, knock down the walls, and let's rush over. ”
Li Zhen's words of encouragement made the soldiers who fired the cannon excited.
What an honor it is to be praised by Master Li!
The soldier in charge of ordering the opening of the cannon ordered everyone to stop for a moment, and the gunners who fired the cannon were gathered together to discuss and determine the location of the next bombardment.
Eighteen cannons, hit the fire to bombard a place.
"Boom!"
The first cannonball flew out and landed in the upper left corner of the gate.
"Boom! Rumble!!! ”
Immediately afterward, shell after shell whizzed out, bombarding the same location at nearly fixed intervals. Every shell flew out, and the stones flew in all directions, so that the location of Zhennan Pass was quickly blown out of a huge crater.
Ordinary bombs fell on the city walls, blowing up the stones and flying gravel, and the impact was not significant.
However, the power of the continuous bombing is no longer as simple as one plus one.
All this, Xi Changzhen's feelings are the most obvious.
He hid on the city tower, clearly felt the tremor caused by the explosion of the cannonball, and even felt the tremor of the Zhennan Pass. This level, which stands on the ground, is so fragile under the heavy artillery bombardment, as if a woman has taken off the clothes that cover her body, and is naked-naked-in a pair of eyes.
"Bang! Bang!! ”
Large chunks of gravel flew and made a continuous noise. Xi Changzhen was also affected, his body and face were all hit continuously, blue and purple, all of which were beaten by the flying stones.
"My lord, the castle tower is shaking so much! I can't stand it. A soldier said beside Xi Changzhen.
Xi Changzhen said: "You go down first, I'll watch." ”
In a word, the soldier who had just spoken stopped talking. As the commander of the army, Xi Changzhen is still staying on the city tower, what reason do they have to leave? The soldiers who followed Xi Changzhen continued to stay, but what they waited for was violent shaking.
"Whoa!"
In the upper left corner of the tower, the stones began to crumble.
"Boom!!"
The boulder fell to the ground with a deafening sound. In the blink of an eye, most of the upper left corner of the city gate collapsed, causing the entire Zhennan Pass to be affected, and it was no longer complete. Seeing this, Li Zhen suddenly ordered: "Rush, capture Zhennan Pass!" ”
When Zhou Xiuying heard this, she rushed out with a bang, and the speed was amazing.
The female soldiers under her command also rushed out.
Seeing this, Li Zhen ordered the soldiers who fired the cannon to adjust their positions so as not to injure their own people by mistake.
Xi Changzhen saw the soldiers under Li Zhen's command attacking, so he shouted: "Let's go, let's retreat immediately." Hmph, Li Zhen thought that he would defeat us by breaking through Zhennan Pass, but that was wishful thinking. After a pause, he looked up in the direction of Jinji Mountain and cursed loudly: "A group of wastes raised by the son of a bitch, Lao Tzu asked them to shoot, but they still haven't fired a shot." ”
He cursed as he led his soldiers down the tower.
"Boom!!"
On the Jinji Mountain behind Zhennan Pass, the sound of cannons was heard.
Xi Changzhen suddenly stopped, looked up, and saw a vague shadow streaked across the sky. This time, a smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "This group of bastards, if Lao Tzu doesn't scold, you won't fire." If he had known, Lao Tzu would have opened fire a long time ago. "Xi Changzhen's performance is very different from usual, now he speaks very roughly, and he is arrogant, and he does not usually serve as the chief soldier of Zhennanguan.
However, the more rude he was, the less nervous the soldiers around him became. As soon as the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Xi Changzhen say loudly: "No, I have to go and see if Li Zhen was blown up?" ”
As he spoke, he turned and ran back.
Seeing this, the soldiers who followed Xi Changzhen wanted to cry without tears, so they had to run back.
"Be careful, there's a cannonball!"
Smith was the first to spot the flying cannonballs and roared.
Li Zhen heard it, but he didn't move.
A cannonball flew in, and when it landed, it was at least two hundred meters away from Li Zhen. Such a poor crosshair's crosshairs made Li Zhen shake his head for a while. Immediately afterward, several more shells flew, all of which were out of position. Not to mention that it blew up Li Zhen, even the soldiers under Li Zhen's command only killed dozens of them.
Such a result made Xi Changzhen, who ran back at risk, shake his head and sigh. He shook his head again and again and said loudly: "Waste, it's all waste." changed Lao Tzu's shot, and sent Li Zhen to the west with one shot. It's a pity that Lang spent so many shells, these are all cannonballs that Lao Tzu bought with hard work and money, and he lost a lot, a big loss! ”
"Withdraw! Don't look at it! ”
Xi Changzhen retreated decisively and quickly descended the city tower.
Li Zhen ordered the army to charge, and he followed leisurely. Zhou Xiuying rushed to the front with the soldiers, and when they were less than fifteen meters away from Zhennan Pass, dense gunfire came from the mountains on both sides of Zhennan Pass. Zhou Xiuying had long known that there were soldiers in ambush on the mountain, so she accelerated under her feet and rushed to the bottom of the city tower in a puff of smoke.
Immediately, she climbed quickly again, and in a short time rushed up the collapsed tower. The female soldiers of the Fifth Regiment were also extremely brave and rushed up to the city tower quickly.
Li Zhen looked at the enemy soldiers on both sides of the hillside, ordered the soldiers to bring sniper rifles, and pulled the trigger after aiming.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew out.
Li Zhen didn't even see if he had hit the enemy, so he aimed at the next person and continued to shoot.
After Li Zhen made a move, the soldiers around him who were protecting Li Zhen also used their guns to aim at the soldiers who came out of the mountains with their heads. Gunshots rang out, and the soldiers hiding on the hillside were killed one after another, and they were all frightened. In addition, Xi Changzhen retreated with the soldiers, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they retreated. Without the threat from the mountains, the army accelerated its advance.
When Li Zhen climbed the Zhennan Guancheng Tower, Zhou Xiuying had already led the soldiers to exchange fire with Xi Changzhen's soldiers.
Although Xi Changzhen retreated, there were still soldiers on the hillsides on both sides of the checkpoint. Moreover, there are piles of fortifications on the official roads in the checkpoint, and Xi Changzhen organized his soldiers to resist. In addition, Xi Changzhen also prepared defensive tools such as rejecting horses to prevent Li Zhen's soldiers from charging.
Without Zhennan Pass as a defense, Xi Changzhen did not give up.
The two sides exchanged fire, and the female soldiers under Zhou Xiuying's command were beaten back several times in a row.
Zhou Xiuying was so angry that her teeth were itching and she was extremely angry.
Last time, she took the initiative to invite Ying, and with the soldiers wanted to take Zhennan Pass, but she was closed. This time he charged with the soldiers, although he took Zhennan Pass, he was stopped by Xi Changzhen, which made Zhou Xiuying very depressed. Zhou Xiuying was unwilling to fail, and organized two attacks in a row, but without exception, they all failed and had to retreat.
Li Zhen walked up to Zhou Xiuying and said with a smile: "Xiuying, your method is wrong, I'll come." ”
