Yanmen Pass is a century-old Xiongguan of Dayan, and the city is tall and thick, and it is indeed much stronger than the ordinary state capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info also showed extreme strength in the face of the bombardment of the fortified artillery. But even so, the Sky Wolf Riders defending the city did not take advantage of it at all. The fortified artillery destroyed the city, the field artillery injured people, and the intensive bombardment of thunderbolt artillery, there was a sea of fire on the city, and people could not stand. The wolf cavalry is an expert in field warfare, but it is a layman to defend the city. They were worried that the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion would rush up with the artillery fire, so they didn't care about the shells that kept falling on their heads, and they died one layer at a time. The performance of the Sky Wolf Rider can not be described as heroic, but in the face of high-power lethal weapons, the more heroic they are, the more casualties they will be killed. The horse road in Seki Castle was already covered with dead bodies, and blood flowed down the horse road, and if you were not careful, you would slip and fall. But even so, the wolf riders still rushed to the city without fear of life and death, and groups were drowned in artillery fire.

The 100,000 soldiers and civilians defending the city did not have many ballistas, and those ballistae were concentrated in the hands of Hua Gai Shu, which was ready to fight to the death with the Zhenbei army. The continuous bombardment finally shattered the south gate of Yanmen Pass, but there was still an iron gate inside. Therefore, the fortified artillery turned to concentrate on bombarding the city walls. In this way, no matter how thick the city wall was, it could not resist such destruction, and the city wall trembled continuously, and finally collapsed with a bang. As soon as the field artillery commander saw this situation, he immediately ordered the field artillery to move forward and concentrate artillery fire to stop the Sky Wolf cavalry that was trying to rush up the gap. And at this moment, the military horn sounded, and the siege soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion rushed forward like a tide with shouts. Sikong Fu had no choice at this time, he gave an order, sent all the reserves up, and the two armies fought fiercely at the gap.

Just when the south gate was in full swing, Hua Gai Shu launched an attack on the defense line of the Zhenbei Army. Hua Gai Shu learned from the Flying Tiger Legion to prepare for artillery fire before the general attack, but he used ballistas. Compared to field guns, the firing range is twice as short. For this reason, Hua Gaishu ordered the ballista team to follow behind the cavalry that had charged in advance, and wait for the range to be fired before firing thunderbolts. This trick worked very well, and the artillery of the attacking army, which focused on the dense charge of the Sky Wolf Cavalry, was caught off guard by the thunderbolts fired by the ballista team, and the losses were not small for a while. Ma Qimeng was furious, concentrated all the artillery fire and turned over the place where the ballista team was located, which suppressed the ballista team.

But Huagai didn't give him a chance to breathe, and a group of 30,000 cavalry rushed up one after another, and the positions of the Youzhou Army, Liaozhou Army, and Northwest Army in front of the artillery position became a pot of porridge. Fortunately, Ma Qimeng had rich experience, and built a high slope in advance and dug seven trenches. This effectively delayed the speed of the Sky Wolf Cavalry's charge, but in the face of wave after wave of charges, Ma Qimeng felt that the pressure increased exponentially. The artillery roared incessantly, and in less than an hour after the battle began, the water used to cool the artillery positions had been exhausted. The artillerymen no longer cared about this, and played with the fatal loading and firing, reloading and firing.

In the face of such continuous wave charges, only by using intensive artillery fire to kill and wound a large number of enemy troops can we effectively reduce the pressure on the front line of the position. If there were machine guns at this time, it would have been at least a hundred or so to effectively stop such a dense and rapid charge. It's a pity that this kind of mass killing weapon against dense charges has not yet been invented, so it can only be intercepted by artillery fire, and crossbowmen and archers can sweep away the fish that have slipped through the net.

The men in front of the line shouted and neighed, and the roars of both sides even exceeded the roar of cannons. This is a never-ending battle, one side is determined to take the road and flee, and the other side must hold the position and not take half a step back, so from the beginning of the battle, the battle situation immediately entered a white-hot state. Countless lives are lost every moment, and blood is spilled every minute. The fierceness of the battle, the ferocity of the fighting, and the tragic casualties ranked first among the many battles of this war. Many years later, in the grass in front of Yanmen Pass, you can often pick up arrows and broken knives and guns. If you dig through the grass, you can see the layers of white bones underneath.

As the Sky Wolf Cavalry charged in waves, the first line of positions was breached, and the soldiers retreated as they fought and retreated into the second line. The Sky Wolf rode like a shadow, rushing towards the second line of positions like a tide, and the fierce battle began again. The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and the sound of killing in front of the entire position shook the sky, and the sound of orders could not be heard at all. At this time, there is no need to command, if it is an enemy, kill it. The soldiers on both sides fell layer by layer, and the follow-up troops rushed up in rows and collided with each other. The crossbow arrows flying in the sky can almost collide in the air.

Five waves of charges, seven trenches were broken through one after another, Ma Qimeng ordered 50,000 soldiers as a reserve to enter the battlefield, just when the two sides were stuck in front of the artillery position, Zhang Deyi led the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army from the flank into the charging formation of the wolf cavalry. The wolf rider who was galloping on the prancing horse was stopped and cut off in two, and the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army repeatedly rushed and killed in the formation of the wolf rider, just like a sickle harvesting the lives of the wolf riders.

As soon as Hua Gaishu saw that victory was in sight, his attack was blocked, and he immediately led 50,000 heavenly wolf horsemen to rush up. At this time, as soon as the artillery positions were broken through, the road back to the steppe was opened. Therefore, Hua Gai Shu no longer had the intention of preserving his strength, and divided the remaining 150,000 Heavenly Wolf Riders into three waves, and he killed them first. Ma Qimeng was in a hurry when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered the military horn to be blown and the order flag hung up. As soon as Zhang Deyi saw it, he immediately led the army to turn around and avoid Hua Gai Shu's charge, Hua Gai Shu didn't shout out happily, rows of dense shells fell from the sky, and the artillery fire of the attacking army was once again powerful after a little adjustment, and a blockade line was opened. Three waves of heavenly wolves rode forward and rushed into the blockade line one after another, Hua Gai Shu knew that it was impossible to turn around at this time, and only by rushing forward could he survive, he shouted: "Karalongtai!" ”

"Karalongtai!"

The roar of more than 100,000 people was earth-shattering, and the fierce battle also broke out on the battlefield with a shout that shook the heavens and the earth: "Shenlong Wansheng!" ”

The warriors of the two countries were all boiling with fighting spirit, each shouting their battle horns and colliding together. There was no way to let the horses gallop on the battlefield, and the wolf riders jumped off their horses and brandished scimitars to fight desperately with the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion. The soldiers on both sides fell in rows, and the others would not stop fighting as long as they had a breath. The murderous aura in the sky filled the four fields, and only the rumbling cannons and shouts of killing were left between heaven and earth.

Hua Gaishu, who finally broke through the artillery blockade, had already hung colors in many places, and four fingers of his left hand had been cut off by shrapnel, even then he didn't stop to bandage it, and rushed to the position of the Flying Tiger Legion with blood all over his body. Only half of the 150,000 Celestial Wolf Riders behind him could break through the blockade, but Hua Gaishu felt that it was enough, enough for him to break through the artillery position.

Zhang Deyi's Zhenbei army came back again, and went straight to Huagai Shubu, and the two rolling iron streams were getting closer and closer.

"Divine Dragon Wansheng! Zhenbei Army, assault! ”

"Karalongtai!"

The two iron horsemen roared and collided together, and at this moment, the soldiers on either side had only one thought in their hearts: "Kill the enemy!" ”

At this time, Erdunke was standing on the tower of the north gate of Yanmen Pass and watching the fierce battle, 100,000 golden wolf horsemen in front of the city gate were ready to go, and Erdunke was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Huagai Shu to rush to the artillery position, which was the moment when he launched the final charge. Erdunke anxiously observed the situation of the battle, and looked back at the south gate from time to time. He knew that Nanmen would not last long, and Erdunke's heart rose to his throat.

Just when Erdunke looked at the south gate again, boundless fear surged in his heart, the full moon golden wolf flag on the south gate fell, countless flying tiger battle flags, and countless soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion rushed into the city with shouts. In the clairvoyance, Erdunke clearly saw that Sikong Fu's war horse running in front of him was shot by dozens of crossbow arrows and fell to the ground, and before Sikong Fu could get up, he was trampled into a tattered corpse by countless feet wearing combat boots.

"Golden Wolf Ride, Attack!"

Erdonk screamed, ran to the city and turned over his horse. Hearing the order, 100,000 golden wolf riders moved and rushed towards the battlefield. It should be said that Erdunke was forced to be helpless, and at this time, if he did not attack, he would have to fight to the death with Yan Chengyu's army, and if he attacked, he would face the interception of artillery fire. But Erdunke would rather face artillery fire than face Yan Chengyu, so he chose to lead the army to attack.

The dense artillery fire smashed down head-on, and the golden wolf guards around Erdunk protected him to the death, using their bodies to resist the shock wave of the explosion and the flying shrapnel. Erduk crouched on his horse and charged, and when he burst out of the artillery fire to intercept him, there were few golden wolf guards left around him. Luckily, he wasn't hurt at all. Erdonk drew his scimitar and led the remaining golden wolf cavalry to the artillery position.

The battle in front of the artillery position was still fierce, and the golden wolf cavalry couldn't distinguish between the enemy and me, so he rushed up directly and slashed and slashed, and rushed out of the middle of the position. Hua Gaishu, who was fighting with Zhang Deyi, saw that the road had been opened, and immediately waved his horse and left. Zhang Deyi then led his army in close pursuit.

The golden wolf cavalry rushed so fast and fierce that the field artillery could no longer stop their footsteps, and Ma Qimeng immediately ordered all the mortars to bombard. At this moment, Ma Qimeng didn't care about being injured by mistake, but he just wanted to block this golden wolf ride. There are twice as many mortars as field guns, and the rate of fire is also fast. The shells fired were one after another, and the galloping golden wolf was blown away in pieces, and the rapid speed of the heavy front was also delayed by this dense bombardment. Ma Qimeng took advantage of this opportunity to bring in a thunderbolt cannon and bombard it at the golden wolf horse. The charge of the golden wolf rode as if it had been struck on a rock.

At this moment, a loud military horn sounded from the direction of Yanmen Pass, and the Yanzi Shuai Banner rushed out of the pass first, and countless cavalry and infantry roared and rushed over. Frightened and frightened, he gritted his teeth and rushed to the artillery position, and when the golden wolf riders saw that their emperor and His Majesty were so desperate, they also became ferocious, and once again burst out of their morale, rushing in a dense formation.

Hua Gai Shu had already rushed to the side of Erdunke at this time, and under his protection, Erdunke escaped several crises and finally rushed to the artillery position.

"Fire Dragon, launch!"

Ma Qimeng quickly ordered the artillerymen to give way to a passage, not to say that the artillerymen were not brave, but because the Flying Tiger Regiment had such a rule that artillery casualties should be avoided as much as possible at a critical moment. An artilleryman needs to shoot at least five hundred shells from a novice to a qualified artilleryman, so the cost of training artillery is extremely high, many times more than cavalry and infantry. This is also a special item that Yan Hui specially added when he formulated the combat order, and Ma Qimeng issued an order based on this article.

Of course, Ma Qimeng would not let go of the enemy so easily, and a fire dragon car was a generous gift from him to the enemy. Erdonk ran forward desperately, his horse narrowly escaped the flames. But the Hua Gai Shu behind him was not so lucky, and now Hua Gai Shu had turned into a torch and rolled on the ground screaming. Those dense golden wolf riders were like a swarm of ants surrounded by flames, devoured by fire snakes.

However, the firing frequency of the fire dragon car is low, which also makes many golden wolf riders rush through the encirclement. As they ran after Erdunk's lifeless run, they were shattered by a series of explosions. Ma Qimeng set up a minefield behind his artillery position, and the dense golden wolves rushed into the minefield like headless flies, and the result was obviously not very good.

It should be said that Erdunk's luck was good, the golden wolf riding in front of him made a safe passage for him, and Erdunke finally broke out of the minefield. He looked at the endless grassland in front of him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, just when he led the remnants of the little 20,000 golden wolves to flee in the direction of Wolf Mountain, his good luck came to an end, in front of Erdunke, a Yanzi handsome flag fluttered in the wind, and Yanhui's tiger army came back.
