"Bad reads();!"

"Do it!"

Two hurried voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Bi Songbai and Song Wuxing had long been mentally prepared, and when they saw that the matter was revealed, they drew their knives and slashed at the defenders in front of them. Caught off guard, the two Daqingguan defenders were defenseless at all and were cut down by the response.

This was a signal of attack, and a large number of Taiping soldiers who had mixed in earlier jumped up and drew their swords to launch a fierce attack on the nearby Daqingguan defenders!

Almost instantly, more than a dozen Daqingguan defenders who stayed behind were cut down one after another.

"Bi Songbai has surrendered to thieves! Stop them! ”

The adjutant was shocked and shouted loudly, beckoning the other defenders who had come to meet him to fight back.

Seeing that there were more Taiping troops speeding up to enter the pass from the side of the chain suspension bridge, he knew that the situation was critical, and turned around and ran towards the top of Daqing Pass. Prepare to call the defenders at the head of the city to counterattack and order people to pull up the drawbridge.

Seeing the situation, it is obviously unrealistic to close the city gates. The large number of rebels who have already poured in, it is impossible to give him a chance, but the chain suspension bridge is different. As long as the drawbridge is pulled up, with the height difference between Daqingguan and the surface, the follow-up rebels will not be able to enter at all. The defenders in Daqing Pass can close the door and fight the dogs, and slowly clear the enemies that have mixed in!

At that moment, a crossbow bolt whizzed.

The severe pain in the lower abdomen, as well as the force on the crossbow arrow, caused the adjutant to fall to the ground.

Twenty paces away, a soldier from the Taiping Battalion sneered with a crossbow bolt in his hand.

In order to capture the Great Qingguan as quickly as possible, the Taiping army that mixed in carried almost all the crossbow arrows. Because among the 2,600 troops brought out by Luo Tianze, there were 300 archers. In the Taiping army, which was disguised as an official army, there were naturally many archers. There was such a factor, combined with the cover of military robes and the disguised cover of the wounded, that the crossbow bolts were mixed in and were not conspicuous. Now. For this important figure in the Daqingguan garrison, the Taiping Army did not hesitate to use a big killing weapon.

At the same time, I saw that the inside had already started. The Taiping army, who were still slowly entering the pass, invariably gave up their camouflage and began to rush in as fast as they could.

Due to the absolute numerical superiority at the bottom level. The number of defenders at Daqingguan was rapidly decreasing. The Taiping army, who mixed in after camouflage, saw that they were about to control the situation. However, the chaos caused by the fighting reached the upper floors, and faint shouts and screams were heard, and a large group of defenders rushed from the second floor of the central passage of Daqingguan.

Seeing the "infighting" on both sides, these defender soldiers couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Bi Songbai has rebelled! Stop them and pull up the drawbridge! ”

The remaining dozen or so defenders were still struggling to hold on, and saw reinforcements coming from above. As if he had seen a savior, he shouted out in the loudest voice.

However, Bi Songbai also reacted quickly.

He glanced at Luo Tianze, who was dying on the stretcher, and roared with a sad expression: "Brigade commander? Brigade Commander, what's wrong with you? Damn it! The officers and men listened, and when Adjutant Xu Kesa saw that our army had returned from a great defeat, he secretly had evil intentions, colluded with military doctors, and poisoned the seriously injured brigade commander, trying to replace him and take the post of brigade commander. Kill me in. Cut off Tsukisa's henchmen! Those who dare to resist must be Xu's comrades, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

"Avenge the brigade commander!"

"Kill Xuxa!"

According to the unified caliber in advance, many Taiping soldiers shouted together with the former officers and soldiers who surrendered.

Bi Songbai rebellion?

The adjutant poisoned the unconscious brigade commander?

Two very different narratives. The guards of Daqingguan who had just arrived were stunned.

Whose words are right?

In a moment of hesitation, the soldiers of the Taiping Army had already taken the opportunity to deal with the last defenders at the bottom. Under the leadership of Bi Songbai and Song Wudren, the Taiping soldiers who came in divided into two routes, attacking the second floor of Daqing Pass from the passages on the east and west sides respectively.

At the bottom of Daqingguan, there is not much value. It is mainly the passage in and out of the school yard of some miscellaneous storage rooms, and the only valuable deep water wells can basically be said to be the only source of water in Daqingguan. Of course, there are also a lot of barracks on the ground floor, but the defenders of Daqingguan are not full. Therefore, the low-level barracks with poor living conditions are basically vacant.

In contrast, the second layer of Daqingguan is the main body.

Including the reserve of baggage food, the arsenal, the west barracks and so on. It's all top priority. Of course, none of these are the most critical. As soon as the machine that controls the iron suspension bridge is enclosed in the machine room of the gatehouse on the third floor, that is, on the city wall, the Taiping army must attack at any cost!

Some people may say that as long as An'an firmly controls the water source at the bottom, the defenders above can be defeated without a fight. But how could the defenders of Daqingguan not think of this, there are strict daily rules: each floor of Daqingguan has a separate water storage tank, which can prevent fires on weekdays, and can effectively deal with the situation that the bottom floor is occupied in war. Originally designed, these reserves of fresh water would ensure the defenders' minimum drinking needs for at least three days.

The defenders in Daqing Pass, after pulling up the suspension bridge to cut off the connection between these Taiping troops and Chen Wu, could calmly counterattack. Three days was enough time for them to deal with the invading Taiping army.

So, we have to go up!

Of course, the importance of water is undeniable. Among the Taiping troops led by Chen Wu to attack, some people carried a sufficient amount of poison that could pollute the water source. If the situation inside is really irreparable, they will not hesitate to poison all the well water and force the defenders to abandon Daqing Pass.

It's a lose-lose tactic.

If it is used, even if Chen Wu wins the Daqing Pass by himself, he will be worried about the water source, and he must make great efforts to re-drill the deep water well, which is very troublesome. If it is not necessary, this means can not be used.

Because of this, after leaving a team of soldiers to be in charge of those deep wells, the main force of the Taiping army was still used for the offensive. The eastern route was responsible for capturing the armory in Daqing Pass, while the people on the western route would seal the remaining soldiers in the barracks to prevent the defenders who were not on duty today from gathering in groups.

This move undoubtedly provoked a counterattack.

The captain of the defending army who led the team still had doubts in his heart, but the situation, no matter how he looked at it, Bi Songbai's faction was even more suspicious. Besides, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, it's always right to stop those who kill you. As a soldier, there is no reason to be caught without figuring out the situation.

The order to intercept came, and the hundred defenders who rushed to it divided into two parts, and stopped the attacking Taiping army from the highest.

"Kill these Tsuxa's henchmen! Revenge for the brigade commander! ”

The surrender has already fallen, for the sake of his future and life, Bi Songbai gritted his teeth, shouted, took the lead and rushed forward, and fought with his former comrades.

Because of the unique design of Daqingguan, it will be very difficult for the enemy who comes in from the outside to attack the upper level and deploy troopsreads();. On the contrary, the relatively open area on the second floor and the fence of the protrusion allowed the defenders to move calmly, and even allowed the archers to hide behind and shoot the enemy troops at the bottom.

All the attacking Taiping army knew that time was very bad for them.

In the short and fierce battle, the defenders at the head of Daqingguan seemed to have discovered something, some people were chanting repeatedly, and more officers and soldiers were rushing towards the court. Not long after, the suspension bridge placed at the south gate of Daqingguan shook violently, and began to slowly pull up in the heavy machine. On the southern wall of Xiongguan, a large number of trebuchets and crossbow arrows were also mobilized, and began to test fire and intimidate the last group of Taiping troops who were still rushing here.

Because Songjiang County has always been peaceful, most of the weapons defending the city in Daqing Pass were sent to the city head for maintenance reasons, and less than a quarter were placed on the city wall. But even so, the countless city defense weapons above Xiongguan are enough to make any army daunted!

Immediately following this series of reactions, a rapid alarm bell sounded.

I don't know how many years have passed, and this kind of alarm of the highest level has not sounded in Daqing Pass. The two big bells rang in unison, and the loud bells emitted overwhelmed the sound of fighting, penetrating the heavy masonry, stirring in every corner of Daqingguan, and even spreading to several miles away, even the small market not far from Daqingguan could be heard clearly.

The soldiers of the garrison, who were sleeping in the barracks or shouting and shouting cards, were alarmed by the sound of the bells.

The entire Daqingguan quickly became in an uproar.

Unlike the previous voices, as soon as this alarm bell sounded, Bi Songbai and Song Wuxing knew that Daqingguan had completely entered combat readiness, and there was very little time left for them. The plan to seize Daqingguan has entered the most critical moment!

The two captains who surrendered very well knew the situation, and their martial arts had been exerted to ten. I only hate myself for not training more on weekdays, and I can't do my best to fight my way out. Thankfully, at this time, a large number of crossbow arrows brought in by the Taiping army were assembled. There are three batches in total, each holding at least twenty crossbow arrows.

It's not easy to do that in the midst of chaos.

The Taiping Army before the training in Daba Mountain is afraid that it will not have this efficiency.

"Not good!"

The defenders blocking the entrance to the upper floor can easily overlook the movement of the Taiping army. Seeing the three groups of soldiers with crossbow arrows ready to prepare, he couldn't help but change his face greatly. Realizing that something was wrong, they tried to entangle the Taiping army who were fighting head-on, so that the crossbowmen would not dare to shoot casually.

This move does have a certain effect.

However, Sun Tian, who commanded on the spot, was not Chen Wu. With the same order, Chen Wu's identity can't, but Sun Tian may not be able to. Seeing that more defenders were starting to gather, he gritted his teeth and ordered the crossbowmen to move their targets back a bit, and the order to fire a salvo was reached!

At this time, I can't care about accidental injuries or not.

A wound crossbow bolt hooked the trigger.

Click, click!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the first batch of twenty crossbow arrows were fired in unison!

Because of the problem of elevation angles, coupled with the fear of their own soldiers, the effect of the first salvo was affected to a certain extent, and only seven or eight officers and soldiers were killed and wounded. But even so, it put a heavy pressure on the defenders above. Bi Songbai and the surrounding Taiping troops seized the opportunity and stormed for a while, taking the opportunity to open up a little distance. (To be continued.) )
