The front of Juyong Pass is too narrow. A castle tower seems to have blocked the gorge in the mountains. With a total width of about 100 meters, no matter how many Qin troops there are, they can't put up a battle! It can be said that in the ancient cold weapon battlefield, Juyongguan is really 'one husband is a key and ten thousand people can't be opened'.

The Qing army also built a solid forward position in front of the pass, and more than a dozen blockhouses and fortresses made of reinforced concrete and stone were the biggest stumbling blocks for the Qin army to tackle key problems.

"When the army mobilized the quartermasters, didn't they deploy some special ammunition? Before I led the army into Changping, I also let the artillery accompany me. This kind of ammunition is a treasure against the enemy at the moment. ”

The special ammunition mentioned by Liu Xian is not known to quite a few officers at all. There were only a few people in the tent who could still keep quiet when they heard these three words.

Roy confidently received the order. As a person who has seen and experienced the power of special ammunition with his own eyes, he does not think that the Qing army in Juyongguan can survive the blow of special ammunition at all.

Although the cost of such special ammunition is quite cheap.

And God has the beauty of adults, the wind is not strong today, and the wind direction is still to the north.

Once a military order has been decided, there is no delay. Roy immediately went to prepare for the artillery bombardment, and the Qin army's assault troops gathered in a scattered manner five miles away from Juyong Pass. There is a small road called 'Nanyang Road' next to it, which is where the retreat of the Qing army horse team was.

The artillery positions of the Qin army were scattered in the interval between six and eight miles of Juyong Pass, and the 75 guns were no longer good at this distance, and all the heavy guns fired were more than 100mm. The Qin assault force also had large-caliber mortars fired along with it.

The land was trembling, the heart and liver were trembling, and the artillery fire of the Qin army flooded the top and bottom of Juyong Pass. One by one, the Qing soldiers buried their heads in the trenches, silently praying for their good luck.

But something unexpected happened at this time, after a burst of indiscriminate bombardment. The cannonball that fell into Juyong Pass again exploded violently. Mixed with flying shrapnel, there were bursts of red and yellow gas.

"Ahem, ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Countless heart-rending coughing sounds sounded in the Qing army's position. It was only a moment later, ignoring the shells that were still falling overhead, and the wolves ran backwards along the communication trenches in the positions outside the city.

"Ahem, ahem............ cough cough cough ......"

Juyong was also coughing when he closed it, and it seemed that there was only this kind of voice left in heaven and earth. Even the sound of the explosion of the shells could not be muffled.

"Hahaha, hahaha......"

In the disbelief of the large number of officers, Roy laughed happily. The taste of paprika and wasabi is unbearable. He had experienced it once, and he remembered it vividly, and he didn't dare to forget it.

"Seize the position, seize the position." The assault forces did not waste this great opportunity. With the shouts of the commander. A thousand soldiers of the Qin army rushed down the mountain and rushed towards the outer position of the Qing army under the city of Juyongguan. There was still a red and yellow gas everywhere that had never fallen silent, so a thousand Qin soldiers had an extra water-soaked cotton yarn mask on their eyes and noses than usual.

Behind them was a group of sapper fighters with improvised water hoses on their backs. The role of these people is to spray water mist and suppress the yellow and red gases.

The 'poison gas bomb' specially manufactured by the Qin Army Arsenal is not ordinarily strong when used. It is Guixi, Xiangxi, and Gannan, those bandits and bandits who came out of the poor mountains and bad waters, no matter how tough their temperament is, they are still completely unable to resist in the face of ultra-spicy and pungent chili powder and mustard powder.

It's just that these things don't know how to distinguish between friend and foe, and after the Qin army occupies the position, the first thing to do is to remove the chili powder and mustard powder floating in the air.

On the position of the Qing army. Suddenly shrouded in spicy chili peppers and pungent mustard powder, the seven or eight hundred Qing soldiers on the position outside the south gate instantly lost their combat effectiveness, and although most of them ran back, there were still one hundred and ten who fell in the trench. Snot and tears flowed sideways, lying on the ground curled up, tearing their hearts. I can't stop coughing up all the internal organs.

"Smack-" Dolonga punched him angrily on the handsome case, and the pungent smell wafting through the air had already explained it. "Liu Xian. It's so despicable and shameful! ”

He didn't even think about the storage of special shells in his mind. It's so weird!

Even when he first saw the special ammunition, Dorona could also think of the inconvenience of this ammunition. For example, if the wind rises on the battlefield. For example, in heavy rain, this ammunition is useless at all. But today, this time in Juyongguan, I really made him miserable.

After a poison gas bomb exploded, it would be covered within a range of three or five zhang, and the Qin army fired more than 100 special bombs, completely brushing Juyong Pass with a layer of red and yellow.

More than 3,000 people cooperated with each other to launch an all-out attack on the front line of Juyong Pass. Among them, the Qin army that was placed on the right side did not exceed 1,000 people, and most of them were still cowered in the trenches outside the south gate. The density was very scarce, and it was not so much an attack on the Qing army as a containment.

The main force of the Qin army, another 2,000 people, was formed on the basis of the squadron, and they expanded to the left and right, and launched a tentative attack on the beacon towers and corner towers in the city of Juyongguan.

For this operation, the Qin army gathered a large number of mortars, and also dispatched reconnaissance brigades, snipers and some sappers to cooperate.

Juyong Guanguan City is deep mountain and old forest left and right, there is no war for more than 200 years, the mountain rock slope under Guancheng, dense, lush, but all are trees and grass.

Without the intervention of sappers who specialized in the arts, it was impossible for the various divisions to deploy their troops in concealment, attacking the beacon towers, the corner towers, and the Great Wall walls along the way. Many people can't even climb close to Sekijo.

With more than 80 small and medium-caliber mortars and abundant shells, it can be said that the Qin army is far superior to the Qing army in this regard.

In total, Duolonga pulled back more than thirty artillery pieces from Nankou, and such artillery fire was not weak, but it was a pity that their opponent was the Qin army.

After intensive artillery preparations, the divisions went on the offensive. The Qing soldiers could only hide in the roofed beacon towers and corners, and on the aisle of the Great Wall, there was no cover, and if the Qing soldiers stayed there, they would be killed or killed under the mortar bombardment.

People were unwilling to die, so the Qing soldiers cowered into the beacon tower and corner tower. The Qin army began to send small troops to climb the mountain rocks, hooking the head of the city above the city with iron hooks, and then the soldiers climbed up.

The Qing army would not let the Qin army come up, countless guns were aimed at the Great Wall many times, and the moment when the Qin soldiers turned inward from the wall was a life-and-death battle. You must know that on the Great Wall, the corner towers are always higher than the other, and the sight of the Qing soldiers is very good.

The attack of the Qin soldiers was not large in each squadron, but if it was put on the whole, it didn't take long for the Qin army to die hundreds of people.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Jing, who had always been full of confidence before, was also a little hesitant, and the Marines who accompanied and assisted in the operation also had a contemptuous attitude.

Even after Liu Xian got the number of casualties, his brows furrowed.

"Use special ammunition, no matter whether you can force out the Qing soldiers in the corner tower and beacon tower, but you must cover their sight." The Great Wall is windy, no better than the Guancheng that falls in the mountains. It is inevitable to use special ammunition to do more and more with half the effort. Liu Xian missed the smoke bomb very much at this moment, but he didn't know how the smoke bomb was made at all.

Of course, he had another option, and that was to wait until it was dark.

It's just that when it gets dark, what will Dorona use to deal with it? Moreover, Liu Xian also found that Duolonga was already starting to retreat. A large number of supplies are being transported from the city of Juyongguan to the north. Part of the army also set up positions on the narrow road north of Sekijo.

This proves that Dolonga has little confidence in holding the city of Juyong. He planned to forcibly transport military supplies, and then rely on the Guangou Gorge Road from Juyong Guancheng to Beikou [Badaling], set up sniper positions, and resist step by step.

Thirty-six miles of ditches, but half of them have not been completed.

If Duolong'a is fighting hard in the ditch, it will not be fifty or seventy days, Liu Xian is really south to see what Yanqing Governor looks like!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery fire on both sides of the Qing and Qin Dynasty was being released violently. Especially the Qing army, it was difficult for Duolonga to tear down the cannon anymore, so he simply ran out of shells. The fierce and non-stop artillery fire made Chen Jingdu feel a little wooden. And Liu Xian also realized what Duolong's other hand was preparing. That's to hit with a cannon!

The circumference of the entire Juyong Pass is only about 4,000 meters, and the entire Juyong Pass is within the coverage of the Qing army's artillery, even if the Qing army's artillery position is placed in the Zhenwu Temple outside the Juyong Pass North Pass Tower.

But the war here still irreversibly fell towards the Qin army. Liu Xian has completely put his mind at ease. Before nightfall, the Qin army had made breakthroughs at a number of beacon towers and corner towers, and if it weren't for the fierce artillery fire of the Qing army, it would be time for the Qin army to counterattack the southern gate tower of Juyong Pass and the hinterland of Guannei.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the main reason why the enemy of Juyong Pass showed his weakness so quickly was that its main force, the New Army of the Eight Banners, had not experienced a war."

The Zhou army felt that today's fortifications, or including the battle at Nankou, were not as good as the battle of Tianjin in the Eight Banners. He believed that this was because the New Army of the Eight Banners had too little experience in the war, and it was not as good as the main force of the Qing army during the Battle of Tianjin, although a large part of the people were also newly recruited soldiers, but most of the backbone and officers in the army were experienced in a hundred battles.

And as soon as the New Army of the Eight Banners entered the battlefield, it suffered several crushing defeats in a row, with low morale and insufficient resilience. The current battle of Juyong Pass is a battle that looks at resilience, and those beacon towers and corner towers are the flesh and blood grinding plates that the two armies have repeatedly fought for. Seeing that the last army could not support it, this battle was considered to be dusty.

However, as soon as the New Army of the Eight Banners was taken away, it was revealed that it was not supported, and this was not a problem of strength, but a problem of mentality.

"Duolong A's ability to train a group of Eight Banner Masters into their current appearance is already commendable. In the final analysis, they are just a group of recruits, who need time to get used to the sound of gunfire, to the shelling, to get used to the death and wounding of their comrades, and to slowly get used to it, that is, veterans and elites. ”

This is Jiao Wenbin's opinion. (To be continued......)
