Boom Boom Boom –

More than a dozen artillery pieces of the Jin army opened fire one after another, and solid iron bullets flew out with a roar, some of them hit the city wall, and some of them flew over the city and smashed into the buildings in the city, among which four solid iron bullets were shot into the gap, and two of them penetrated into the corpse pile, and under the inertia of kinetic energy, they bounced forward with pieces of minced meat, and hit the cloth bag defense line full of mud and sand, and got stuck in the mud and sandbags.

Two more bombarded the sandbags, the bags broke and the mud flew, the sandbag wall collapsed, and several soldiers of the Phoenix Legion were knocked over, and the iron bullets continued to bounce forward, knocking down more than a dozen soldiers in a row before stopping.

"Two layers of reinforcement."

The officer in command shouted loudly, because the battle was fierce, and in the hurry, the sandbag defense line was only stacked on top of each other, which could not block the strong kinetic energy inertia of the solid iron bullet, causing more than a dozen soldiers to be killed and wounded, and it was necessary to be reinforced in two layers.

Dozens of people carried sandbags to run to re-strengthen the defense line, and more people carried sandbags, wood, tables and chairs and other things to the gap and threw them, piling up the gap, outside the city, the Jin army shouted and attacked frantically, or rushed to the gap, or put the ladder against the city wall, desperately climbed up, and the defenders on the head of the city used muskets to shoot, bows and arrows, threw rolling wood and stones, or threw thunder, and blew up the approaching Jin soldiers.

"Artillery suppression!"

At the head of the city, the artillery observers held monoculars to observe the specific position of the artillery positions of the Jin Army, and the gunners quickly adjusted the elevation angle of the gun body, and then conducted a test firing, and under the correction of the artillery observers, continued to adjust, and then loaded the gunpowder shells, ignited the fuse, and fired.

The bulky and backward large-caliber artillery of the Nine Frontier Defense Line has been gradually eliminated, replaced by lighter weight and smaller caliber Franc machine guns, and solid iron bullets have also been replaced by more powerful flowering shells.

Under the cover of four rounds of artillery fire, the artillery positions of the Jin army were destroyed, and the fire was about to be destroyed, more than a dozen bulky cannons were all destroyed, and dozens of gunners could not escape, and all of them were blown into rotten meat.

"Rush, follow me."

Outside the city, an officer in armor with a blue flag roared loudly with a short axe, and a large shield in front of him, and rushed towards the gap first.

Bang –

Before the officer could rush into the gap, a mist of blood suddenly exploded in his head, and his lifeless body fell with a thud.

Behind a certain battlement at the head of the city, a sniper from the hunter battalion retracted his head, squatted behind the battlement, calmly reloading ammunition, he liked this new musket that had just been reloaded, with a long range and high accuracy, in this battle, he had already killed six officers of the Jin Army, as well as a dozen or so warriors in armor, and earned a lot of military merits, and then killed four officers of the Jin Army, he was properly promoted to a higher officer, this military merit was too easy to earn, he wished that there would be a battle every day.

The snipers of the Ming Dynasty are scarce, and they are not enough to distribute at all, only some important cities on the nine sides can be divided into one or two groups of snipers, and the second generation of snipers is still being trained and cultivated in Beijing, and the first generation of snipers who fight on the front of the nine sides will die one less one, and they cannot be replenished in two or three years.

The terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, the city is high and the walls are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only one group of snipers is divided, however, Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion is equipped with three groups of snipers, and eight snipers are hiding behind the wall battlements, aiming at the officers or armored warriors of the Jin Army to put cold guns, and the officers and armored warriors who have been sniped by them have exceeded 100.

In the decisive battle of thousands of troops, this loss is nothing, but the officers and armored warriors who were killed are all troops in the attack, and without the command of the officers, there is no armored warrior charging in front to stimulate morale, the morale of the troops is greatly affected, the momentum of the attack is weakened, and the pressure on the defending army is also reduced.

Each group of snipers is equipped with one or two auxiliaries, who are responsible for guarding and covering in peacetime, carrying ammunition and dry food, and also holding monoculars as observers when necessary to guide the snipers.

"Wow, there's a big guy with a colorful feather right in front of you." An auxiliary soldier holding a monocular to observe excitedly shouted, the more enemy officers and armored warriors the two sniper uncles killed, the higher the rank, the greater the merit, and he can also be stained, get some credit, no need to shoot the enemy, just use his eyes to observe can earn military merit, he can smile in his dreams, he loves this job to death.

The two snipers next to him calibrated the direction and locked on to the target, the team leader raised his hand and made a gesture, the auxiliary nodded, and then began to count, "One, two, three." ”

Bang –

The two snipers cooperated quite tacitly, and at the same time pulled the trigger, so only a gunshot was heard, and in the distance, several colored feathers were inserted in the helmet, and the big man in heavy armor was shouting loudly, directing his warriors to charge.

He is the son of the patriarch of a certain tribe, the first warrior of his clan, the future patriarch, although he is on the front line to direct the warriors of his clan to fight, but he will not personally get into danger, he is in the dead end of the Franco's cannon, outside the range of bows and muskets, it stands to reason that it should be very safe, but two flying bullets shot him in the head, half of his head was torn off, and his body was cut off the horse.

The tribe that has been blocked out of the pass knows what modern special operations concept, an officer is killed, his own warrior takes over, continues to command the battle, and after a while is killed by the sniper's cold gun, and then replaced by someone to take over, and then killed, when this tragic offensive and defensive battle is over, the loss of officers and armored warriors makes Huang Taiji and some of the clan patriarchs and elders who are involved in the battle painful, and these are the bravest warriors in the clan and the most high personal force value.

The fierce battle is still continuing, the Jin army failed to attack the city, had to attack, the Ming army defending the city rose up to resist, not only killed and injured a large number of Jin troops, the big gap that was blown up was also piled up little by little under the concerted efforts of the army and the people, although the Jin army focused on attacking at any cost, but it was not easy to rush in, and the outside of the gap was filled with several layers of the corpses of the golden soldiers.

The Jin army lurking in the city also took advantage of the chaos and set fire everywhere, which once caused panic, but under the beating and pursuit of the angry people and the encirclement and interception of the officers and soldiers, they fled in all directions, or were beaten to death on the spot, or surrendered as prisoners, and the plan to seize the city was ruined.

When the filling of the gap was slowly filled to a height of more than one meter, Huang Taiji and the others could only look at the city and sigh, and saw that they had suffered heavy losses and serious morale, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

Looking at the Jin soldiers who retreated like a tide, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city let out a shocking cheer to celebrate the victory of defending the city.

But only a few breaths of time, the earth-shattering war drums rumbled again, the Jin army launched a second attack, the tragic offensive and defensive battles were once again unfolded, the rumbling war drums, the earth-shattering roar of killing, the earth-shattering guns, the corpses of different deaths, the abandoned damaged weapons and armor, the billowing gunsmoke, and the confluence of rivers of blood, constituted a tragic war scene.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle lasted until the end of the evening, Lu Hongniang and Zhao Shujiao commanded the soldiers and civilians of the city to repair the gap overnight, the early appearance of cement turned the impossible into a reality, overnight, the gap of nearly twenty meters wide was filled, and the city wall seemed to be stronger and stronger than before.

"This ...... How can it be? ”

Early the next morning, the Jin army out of the camp array, ready to continue the siege of the city, sitting on the tall horse Huang Taiji and others saw the repaired city wall, all of them changed color, Huang Taiji was in a hurry to attack the heart of the spurt out of a breath of blood, fortunately the guards around the guard eyes and hands, in time to support him, otherwise he had to fall off the horse.

When the offensive and defensive battle of Shanhaiguan was fierce, in a certain recess of Taihang Mountain across the four provinces of Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan, Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the Eight Heavens, seemed to have made an appointment with Huang Taiji to send troops together, and at this time he was assembling his army of Zhang Zihao to prepare to go out of the mountain.
