Chen Qinrang said, slapped the wine bottle on the table heavily, and his eyes were red: "Tomorrow...... Just make a break with them and step on Langshan! ”
After all, the wine still gave Chen Qinrang enough courage. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)
Early the next morning, the sound of the trumpet began to reverberate.
The birds on the mountain were startled and leaped up densely. The continuous battalion also rushed out of countless soldiers and horses like a flood peak, Chen Qinrang beat his horse, looking at the Xiongguan in front of him, as if he could vaguely see that there was a person above this Xiongguan who was enough to make him awe-inspiring at this time staring at him coldly.
In the rebel camp, a knight flew out of his horse and galloped towards the gate, and when he approached the tower, he bent his bow and shot an arrow up the tower.
The fire team on the city tower has been waiting for a long time, and did not fire, someone took the arrow, and then took down the letter tied to the arrow, and immediately passed it to Zhu Di and Hao Fenglou in the building.
"Er is the son of tomorrow, I am the king of Annam today, the war is together, the world is chaotic, the people are fluent, if your majesty insists on mobilizing troops, what is the life of the people? Qin let this be the royal general, and do not want to be the enemy of His Majesty, please Xu Chen, the lord of Annam, the minister is willing to strike the army, respect the Ming Dynasty, generations of tribute, so far, the two countries are good, no more conquest, if the minister violates the oath, willing to die without burial, into the soil can not be safe, descendants forever slaves. ”
This is Chen Qinrang's last thought. Both sides dismissed the army and made him the lord of Annam.
Zhu Di held the letter in his hand, pinched it in the palm of his hand, crumpled it little by little, and immediately, he smiled. When he walked to the upper floor, he spilled the shredded paper and shouted: "Sue Chen Qinrang, as long as he presents the head, I will save him from the death of the three clans." ”
On the tower of the city, no one passed the letter down, and no one shouted the conversation with the people under the city, and on the tower of the gate, several artillerymen had already begun to get busy. After loading the gunpowder and shells, there was a bang, and an earth-shattering sound came out, and the muzzle of the cannon spewed out a fire snake, and the hot cannonballs flew directly into the dense rebels hundreds of feet away.
Rumble......
The shells smashed directly into the pile, immediately smashing one person into meat sauce, and the aftermath was not extinguished. But it is constantly impacting the crowd.
In an instant, seven or eight rebels were killed, and the desperate wails pierced the eardrums.
The lethality of artillery is actually not large, compared to tens of thousands of rebels, it is just a drop in the ocean, but the shock it brings to people is not small.
Chen Qinrang's eyes were suddenly bloodshot. Of course he knows that this is Zhu Di's answer, Zhu Di told him, here today, you live or die.
Chen Qinrang shouted: "Come on, lead the team, kill!" ”
A flag was raised. Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the formation obliquely like a tide, the people in the front row held high shields, and the people in the back began to squirm towards the pass like a turtle formation.
Although it is a rebel army, after all, it is from the Ming army, and the siege has its own rules, countless large shields wrap them tightly, and in the center of the turtle formation, there are people carrying a long ladder, such a siege method has been tried and tested repeatedly.
It's just a pity. The rebels came in a hurry, without artillery.
In fact, Chen Qinrang did have a hundred artillery pieces here, but most of them were old artillery pieces of the Ming army, which were not only heavy, but also difficult to carry, because he was in a hurry to attack Langshan Pass. It is impossible to bring it, in fact, Chen Qin knows in his heart that even if he brings it, he will be vulnerable in front of Hao Fenglou's new artillery. He is very self-aware of this, and as a deputy general, he has some understanding of this.
However, there are many rebels, and the Ming army on the pass is only a thousand, and Chen Qinrang doesn't care about these.
In this black and oppressive turtle formation, nearly 5,000 people and horses slowly squirmed.
At the same time, a counterattack began on the pass. More than a dozen artillery pieces opened fire in unison, and countless shells smashed into the turtle formation, each time a piece of people fell.
The rebel military attache who led the team was also red-eyed, personally raised his sword to supervise the battle, and kept shouting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they don't have many artillery, they can't kill a few people, advance, advance ......."
The tortoise formation continued to squirm, but it had begun to scatter a little.
In the face of this situation, Hao Fenglou on the Guan Lou can only smile bitterly, the power of the artillery in this era is really not great, because it is a solid cannonball, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a strengthened version of the stone throwing car, if there are hundreds of artillery on the Guan Tower, it can cause huge damage, but unfortunately, these dozen artillery pieces are really not enough to wield power.
However, he was not in a hurry, and stood calmly behind the wall, his eyes looking at it, as if calculating something.
Two hundred zhang ...... One hundred and fifty zhang......
Hao Fenglou's eyes jumped suddenly, and then he shouted: "Fire Hammer." ”
Whoa......
A firearm was placed in the hole in the women's wall, and one by one the heads poked out.
The distance of one hundred and fifty zhang was a bit difficult, but they were condescending and had the upper hand.
"Prepare to ......," the hundred households began to hiss and yell.
The guns had already been filled with gunpowder, and all the guns were holding on to the guns steadily, motionless.
"Shoot!"
Bang bang bang......
The loud sound of fried beans sounded one after another, and the dense sound of fire guns finally unleashed the power of the fire guns.
More and more people in the turtle formation fell, and then they were replaced by the next people, this long gun was extremely penetrating, and they soon realized that this big shield alone was not enough to resist the fire gun, countless bullets rained down, and what was even more stunned was that the interval between the fire guns was not long.
After some time of practice, they have already become familiar with the loading of the gun, and they take a new long gun and give it to the gunner, who then replaces the gun in the hand and reloads them with ammunition.
In teams of two, one with guns and the other with gunpowder repeatedly, the interval between shots was more than doubled.
Hundreds of corpses had been left behind along the way in the turtle formation, and at this time they were finally deflated and defeated under the rain of bullets.
The sound of the guns stopped, and then abruptly stopped.
Except for corpses in one place, the rebels did not advance an inch.
However, everyone knows that this is only a tentative attack, and in essence, these people are meant to be sent to death, so as to test the reality of the pass.
It's just that the forces on the fortress greatly exceeded the expectations of the rebels, especially the men and horses of Li Li and Annam.
Li Li rode a horse to meet Chen Qinrang, his lips pursed, his narrow eyes flashed a little uneasy, approached Chen Qinrang, and said, "Why are their firecrackers so sharp?" No, many soldiers are already frightened, if you don't take advantage of the situation to take down the fortress, once you become a tired soldier, you can't take here, you and I will really die as you said last night without a place to be buried. General Chen, you and I have said that there is no way out, but to move forward desperately. He smiled coldly, and then continued: "Don't try it anymore, don't give them a chance to breathe, attack now, bet all the men and horses, as long as someone climbs the pass, you and I can win a great victory." ”
Chen Qinrang also gritted his teeth at this time and said, "Okay! He waved his hand aloft.
The heralds around him saw his movements, and immediately rode their horses to convey Chen Qinrang's order: "The commander has an order, attack strongly, all departments listen to the order, march in unison, and take the pass." ”
Attacking is the stupidest way, but at the moment it is also the smartest way, tens of thousands of troops are staked together, no matter how sharp the opponent's firearms are, as long as they can hold on, as long as someone climbs the wall, they can win a big victory.
The number of rebels is dozens of times that of the people in Guanshang, and the so-called 'with my brigade, throw the whip into the river, and cut off its flow', Chen Qinrang is not stupid, he is determined to directly decide the victory.
"Woo woo woo ......" the heavy sound of the horn sounded.
Immediately, the sound of drums came out, and the sound shook for nine days.
The rebels, who had already set up their lineup, began to advance, slowly pressing up, the two wings were cavalry echoing back and forth, the front was a sword and shield, and in the middle was a military horse with no end in sight.
The firecrackers on the pass couldn't help but swallow and spit when they saw such a formation, and such a lineup really gave them too much shock.
At the same time, under the city, one by one fast riders shouted to encourage: "The boss has a life, we are all traitors, Zhu Di's children will be avenged, betraying him today, he will be cut by a thousand knives on another day, if you can step on this pass today, hold Zhu Di, glory and wealth will be in front of you, if you retreat, you and my family will all die." Kill, kill...... Kill the city, capture Zhu Di, take down this usurper puppet, and avenge the son of Jianwen! ”
On the other side, the Annan people shouted in the Annan dialect: "Above the fortress is the tyrant who burned my homeland and humiliated my wife and daughter, kill it, step through this barrier, and kill it in Guangxi, some of the Ming Dynasty are gold and silver mountains, and some are women......
Rumble......
Tens of thousands of people exploded the pot and began to run wildly, this time there was no so-called big shield, no longer careful, under the sound of drums, although the sound of cannons had sounded on the barrier, but as if this sound had been suppressed, everyone seemed to be crazy, facing the artillery, like a hungry wolf, raising their swords and swarming forward.
In such a scene, even Zhu Di couldn't help but gasp, he squinted, facing the whirring winter wind, awe-inspiring.
Hao Fenglou's eyes were already red, he gritted his teeth, and slammed his fist against the wall: "Ready, face the battle!" ”
"Your Excellency has a life, prepare to fight!"
Flags are unfurled, hunting in the wind, boxes of things have been moved to the wall, hundreds of firearms have been prepared, the sound of cannons is still rumbling, every time it roars, the entire wall is also trembling, with this huge sound, everyone's heartbeat gradually adds up.
