Seeing that there was an opportunity, the second and third batches of crossbowmen immediately rotated up!

The rapid arrows brought a stormy blow to the officers and soldiers on the second floor. Compared to the first round, these two strikes were much better. The relatively dense positions of the defenders caused them to lose more than 20 casualties in this round. Since the arrows used are matching special arrows, the penetrating power is extremely strong, and there are many cases where one arrow penetrates the body and kills two people in succession.

In the continuous screams, the two rows of defenders in the front fell almost instantly, and a brief gap appeared in the original array.

Seeing this, the soldiers armed with hard crossbows retreated in an orderly manner, gave way to the attack, and began to reload in a safe place!

"Kill!"

The shooting of three batches of crossbow arrows gave Bi Songbai and them an excellent opportunity to attack. Taking advantage of the chaos, they turned back and fought the terrified defenders once again.

Although the remaining foot archers in Daqing Pass successively launched counterattacks, the Taiping army also mixed in many foot archers. Although it is a disadvantage to keep up with the face shot at the bottom, at least it has the ability to fight back. Moreover, more than 20 Gaochang shooters whose faces were smeared with mud and blood gave full play to their innate talents in this situation, which made the officers and soldiers of Daqingguan suffer a lot of losses.

"The brigade commander was killed by Xu Kesa, don't make a mistake about yourself!"

"Put your weapons and prove your innocence, otherwise you will be punished as a conspiracy."

"Brothers above, help deal with these traitors!"

"Brothers who do not want to participate in the rebellion, who do not want to do anything to their comrades, just put their weapons and go back to the barracks."

"Everyone is a brother, only kill Xu Kesa's henchmen, if we don't resist, we won't do it! I, Bi Songbai, can take the Venerable Master's head and vouch for it! ”

Seeing that the fighting was becoming more and more intense, the Taiping army in disguise and the officers and soldiers who took refuge stepped up their shouting.

Although it is almost impossible to say that they are going to rebel and kill people based on empty words, and there are many loopholes in the rhetoric of the Taiping army, such as the simplest one, where these crossbow arrows came from, which is completely inexplicable. But in a hurry, the defenders of Daqingguan couldn't think so much at all. What's more, the Taiping army didn't expect to impress everyone. Even if only one-fifth or even one-tenth of the officers and soldiers were shaken in their hearts, or simply gave up resistance and retreated to the barracks, it would be a great victory.

This tactic of attacking the heart has effectively broken the morale of the officers and soldiers.

If the Taiping army had shown its identity as a thief at the beginning and desperately attacked Daqing Pass, the more than 1,500 defenders who remained behind would definitely have to fight to the death. But the Taiping army mixed in in disguised as a defeated army, even if the defenders at the head of the city had sensed that something was wrong and put the drawbridge, but they didn't see the truth at the bottom with their own eyes after all. Many of the defenders who arrived in a hurry were in doubt in the face of the propaganda of the Taiping Army, especially the shouts led by Song Wuxing and Bi Songbai.

If a soldier has doubts in his heart, how can he devote all his strength to fighting?

With the resolute attack of the Taiping army, the defense line of the defenders of Daqingguan began to slowly retreat, and was finally rushed by the Taiping army to the second-floor platform reads();.

Once the terrain disadvantage was gone, the local numerical superiority of the Taiping army was unfolded. A large number of Taiping troops rushed up and quickly captured a large area. Although the total number of defenders in Daqingguan was larger than that of the Taiping army that poured in, only half of the officers and troops were actually on duty, and the forces were relatively scattered. After being taken by surprise and killed a batch, the situation was dominated by the Taiping army.

"Brothers who do not want to participate in the rebellion, who do not want to do anything to their comrades, put their weapons and go back to their barracks!"

"Promise not to blame the past!"

"Everyone listen to my Song Wuxing's words, they are all their own brothers, stop killing each other!"

The continuous preaching finally had an effect.

In that group of officers and soldiers who took refuge, the soldiers who were afraid of death could not bear the pressure, withdrew from the back row of the defending army, and returned to the west barracks, which had been blocked by the Taiping army.

This is undoubtedly a good start.

However, the officers of the defenders were not all vegetarians. Seeing that the shouting of the Taiping Army had such an effect, the situation was faintly out of control, and they also began to counteract. On the one hand, they tried to get the soldiers who converged everywhere to assemble and enter the battle in an orderly manner; On the one hand, he loudly accused Song Wuxing and others of being rebels, and after losing to the thieves, he did not hesitate to take refuge in the thieves in order to survive, colluding with them to cooperate with the outside world, and wanted to seize Daqingguan!

Of course, this is the case, but Song Wuxing and Bi Songbai will definitely not admit it.

In this way, the armies on both sides shouted in the air, trying to shake the faith of the opposing soldiers, and at the same time desperately organized an attack. Perhaps there were soldiers who were merciful at first and did not want to do anything to their comrades. But with the red eyes of killing, the soldiers couldn't care so much anymore, and began to attack the enemy in front of them frantically.

With the arrival of the defenders of Daqing Pass, the two sides were almost equal in numbers.

If it weren't for the Taiping army coming up and killing a group by surprise, and relying on the power of crossbow arrows to attack the second floor, I am afraid that the defenders of Daqingguan would have the upper hand.

But in fact, even if the situation is a stalemate, it is very beneficial to the Taiping army!

The reason is very simple, if the Taiping army is defeated, there is almost no other way to go except for the last defeat and defeat tricks. The defenders of Daqingguan were different, they were told from the beginning that they could surrender. Moreover, in addition to the southern city, the northern exit of Daqingguan is also still in the hands of the defenders.

If this is not possible, the defenders can leave Daqingguan and Songjiang through the north gate and retreat into the Harayama County to the north.

On the one hand, he knew that he was a rebel, and there was Chen Wu's army outside, so it was almost impossible to surrender; There are two ways out on the other side!

As the soldiers on both sides staggered, the archers began to struggle to exert themselves, but the crossbowmen became more and more lethal. As the bolts are reloaded, a new round of free fire begins. The muffled sound of arrows piercing the body, the vomit-inducing smell of blood, and the thud of corpses falling on stone slabs further shook the morale of the defenders.

With contradictory shouts and preaching on both sides, more and more soldiers fell into confusion, coupled with death threats, and finally chose to release their weapons.

They will not believe the preaching of thieves, but Song Wuxing and Bi Songbai are already officers from Daqing Pass. With this layer of robes, the soldiers of the defending army have some innate trust in them. In addition, the Taiping Army has never identified himself, and has always claimed that Xu Kesa poisoned and killed the seriously injured brigade commander. The confusion prompted some of the simple defenders to make up their minds reads();.

The Taiping army on the west road, after capturing the passage to the west barracks, did not attack inside, but only blocked the intersection.

In both ways, the second layer of Daqingguan gradually fell into the control of the Taiping army.

The situation goes from one to the other!

Every time the Taiping army is biased, the morale of the Taiping soldiers will be even higher, and the determination of the defenders to resist will be weakened more and more. Especially after Sun Tian led a group of the most elite Taiping Battalion soldiers to personally launch a wave of attacks, an officer and army brigade that was guarding the armory was scattered and fell into collapse.

Their rout was like dominoes, directly affecting the overall situation of the entire second layer.

Seeing that the shape could no longer be maintained, the officers and soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting had to retreat to the third layer, that is, the city wall of Daqingguan. Regrouped here in an attempt to prevent the Taiping army from rushing up to put the suspension bridge. At the same time, before evacuating, they tried to enlarge the mechanism in Qingguan, and the hanging gate blocked the passage, temporarily preventing the Taiping army from continuing the pursuit.

However, the arrangement of the organs in Daqing Pass is clear to all officers at the level of captain of the brigade, and even many ordinary captains know it. Since Bi Songbai and Song Wuxing wanted to win the pass, how could they not be wary. On their reminder, the defenders left behind had no success at all.

In fact, even if the defenders let go of the floodgates, they were only dying.

The reason is very simple, although the gate blocked the Taiping army's attack, but at the same time, it also blocked the way for them to counterattack. The deep water well at the bottom is still in the hands of the Taiping Army!

When the Taiping army, which completely controlled the second layer, took a short rest and regrouped and rushed to the city, the battle to capture Daqingguan entered the final countdown.

The defeat of the defenders was decided at the moment when a large number of Taiping troops were released into the pass: the situation was not discovered at the first time; In addition, half of the defenders who were not on duty rested in the barracks, and the forces were scattered; Supplemented by a heart-to-heart strategy. Three reasons ultimately determine the ownership of Daqingguan.

………

After three hours of fierce fighting, Daqingguan was finally taken!

As the Ming and Yellow Dragon Banners of the Empire fell from the gate tower of Daqingguan, the heavy machine sounded, and the iron cable suspension bridge was slowly lowered. The officers and soldiers of the defending army suffered more than 400 casualties in the First World War. The bottom layer is better, and in the most critical battle for the second floor, hundreds of corpses on both sides are all over the entire Daqing Pass, bleeding all over the ground, and its tragic Cheng is no less than the final offensive and defensive battle of Wu'an.

However, the Taiping army finally won.

Whether it was the troops that dealt with Luo Tianze before, or the capture of Daqing Pass now, it added up to nearly 1,000 casualties for Chen Wu, and the entire wing was directly removed. But the entire Songjiang Second Garrison Brigade also disappeared from the imperial system. While bringing Chen Wu a large amount of loot, it also included a crucial level.

Daqingguan!

When slowly entering the pass with the army, standing in front of the iron suspension bridge, looking up at the Xiongguan that took six years to complete, as well as the big characters carved in Yang script on the city gate, Chen Wu was full of emotion in his heart.

Although from the moment he planned to advance eastward and jumped out of the imperial encirclement, Chen Wu had thought of this scene and had the confidence to take it. But now that he has really become the owner of this Xiongguan, he will inevitably have a little more unreal feeling in his heart. Before the crossing, he had traveled back and forth to the servers of Empire many times. But this time, he won't be leaving in a hurry as a passerby!

Daqingguan, the gateway throat, has been taken, will Songjiang County be far away?
