Chapter 269 (There is a brother who asks for three watches, I really can't do it; If the subscription is powerful, I will explode appropriately, but unfortunately the current subscription does not satisfy me. Gossip aside, let's have a 4,000-big chapter to cool off. ）

There is a sea of fire on the top of the beacon tower, the rocket dipped in fire oil is like a dense locust rushing to the peak, everywhere is a smoke and fire, although there are not many combustible things on the peak, but the power of the rocket is still strong, although the tent canvas set up on the top of the bunker is protected by sand and stones, but it quickly burned into a fireball under the scorching oil of the rocket, and had to be torn off and discarded.

As a result, except for a few places in the tunnel, where a few people could be hidden, the rest of the places were exposed to the rocket's attack. Zhengde and Liu Jin hid in one place, Zhu Xiufu and Dai Su'er hid in one place, although the arrows could not be shot directly to their hiding place, but the black smoke of the fire oil made them cough and almost faint.

Song Nan had to use the remaining small amount of water, so that everyone could wet the mouth and nose with a strip of cloth to keep their breathing smooth; The others clinged to the edge of the pit wall, most of their bodies exposed within the range of the rockets, and in vain they used their blades to block the falling rockets.

Soon, seven or eight people were hit by arrows, and the rockets burned immediately and could not be saved, so they could only roll all over the ground, hoping to extinguish the flames, and two of the relatives and guards collapsed and jumped directly off the peak, ending this endless torture with death.

Despair hung over everyone's hearts, and the peak was like a sea of purgatory, and almost no one thought that they could escape this catastrophe.

"Lord Song, Lord Song, if you go on like this, everyone is going to be finished." In the smoke, Wan Zhi crawled along the rock wall and shouted loudly in a hoarse voice.

Song Nan coughed a few times and spit out a mouthful of black phlegm, his red eyes looked up at the rocket meteor falling from the sky, and shouted angrily: "Shut up, don't say such things, if you and I lose confidence, how can there be hope for the princess of the Pope?" ”

Wan Zhi said in a mournful voice: "Please allow Lord Song to take the rest of his brothers to go down and fight with the Tartars." ”

Song Nan shouted: "Nonsense, how to break down?" Before you can go down, they will shoot into a honeycomb, and what if you go down? Isn't it self-defeating? ”

Wan Zhidao: "If you die in your humble position, you have to kill a few Tartars, anyway, it will be a death on this peak." ”

Song Nan grabbed Wan Zhi's neck and said, "I'm not allowed, listen up, if you mention this matter again, I will cut off your head with a knife." ”

Wan Zhi roared to the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.

Song Nan stared at the rocket rain falling in the sky with his head held high, his expression was a little dazed, Wan Zhi suddenly roared, and pushed Song Nan to the side, and a rocket pierced the ground where Song Nan had just shrunk with a whistling sound, and jumped and fell to the ground with black smoke billowing from the burning.

Wan Zhi grabbed the arrow and threw it out of the pit, but saw Song Nan with a happy face and said, "Brother Wan, look at the direction this rocket is coming from." ”

Wan Zhidao: "What? ”

Song Nan said: "See, these rockets are shot diagonally from the southeast side, not scattered in all directions, that is to say, the cliffs in the north and west must not be within the range of rocket attacks, I am so stupid, I should have thought of this a long time ago, if the Tartars fired a salvo from all sides, wouldn't they hurt their own people, and besides, the wind direction is the southeast wind, the Tartars must shoot arrows with the wind, how can there be a reason to shoot against the wind; Hahaha, now it's good. ”

Wan Zhi didn't understand what Song Nan meant at all, Song Nan grabbed Wan Zhi's arm and said, "Come with me, I remember that there is a cliff beam on the cliff wall in the north that can be footed." ”

Wan Zhi shouted, "Lord Song beware. ”

Song Nan turned a deaf ear and rushed out of the big pit to the edge of the north, Wan Zhi quickly grabbed a piece of broken armor and rushed out, whirreling the arrows that fell with the broken armor dancing above the heads of the two.

Zhengde stared at him nervously and asked, "What are they doing?" ”

Liu Jin used his body to block Zhengde's side, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor doesn't move, don't care about them." ”

Zhu Xiufu and Dai Su'er trembled and hugged each other tightly, looking at the backs of Song Nan and Wan Zhi rushing out, their eyes were full of despair.

Song Nan and Wan Zhi quickly came to the edge of the cliff, only to see Song Nan climbing the cliff and sliding down, but when they heard a chaotic sound, the gravel rolled down, and Song Nan's body was gone; Wan Zhi shouted anxiously: "Lord Song, how are you?" ”

Song Nan's voice came from below: "As I expected, there are no archers here at all, and the dog Tartar is smart enough, oh it's not good." ”

Wan Zhi hurriedly said: "What? ”

"The Tartars are going to climb up from the north, so call the brothers over and we'll smash their heads."

Wan Zhi hurriedly danced his armor and ran back, and after a while, he rushed to the edge of the cliff with the remaining sixteen guards, and everyone slipped down along the rock wall one by one, and sure enough, as Song Nan said, there was a mountain beam that could be settled, and the rocket swished overhead, but it couldn't shoot everyone. Compared with the smoke and fire on the peak, it was easy to breathe here, and everyone took a few breaths of fresh air, and looked down but could not see anything, but the sound of clanging walls was clear to the ears, and I could imagine with my ass that the Tartars below were digging into the place where they had landed, and they wanted to climb up from this steep place.

"When they get closer, there are not many guns and ammunition, so we must save some money." Song Nan shrank behind a protruding boulder and quietly ordered.

Wan Zhi said in a low voice: "My lord, I have an idea, there are only more than 100 firearm shotguns, and it will cost us dozens of rounds to fight a round, so it will not be possible to go on like this, it is better for us to bombard the rock wall and cause rockfall." ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "You can give it a try, but you have to wait for them to climb higher, and the small stones that blow out can't kill them, but you have to kill them." ”

Everyone nodded, the sound of clanging was getting closer and closer, the Tartar soldiers leaned against the cliff wall to carve out a foothold, and climbed up step by step with the rope around their waists with a hook, the rockets on the top flew overhead, and a layer of burning rockets fell more than ten feet away from the cliff wall below, and the black smoke was filled, and they coughed.

The height of the cliff wall of fifteen or sixteen zhang is more than 50 meters according to the modern scale, this beacon tower is like a pillar of optimus, piercing the sky in a stunned way, its steepness and precipitousness are really incredible. After more than ten attacks, the weeds and trees on the mountain wall in other directions have been wiped out into a bare piece, only the north side is too steep, showing a tendency to fall, so several climbing attacks Tartar have abandoned this side, but there are still some trees and weeds, and there are many protruding rocks on the upper part.

The most difficult thing for the Tartars to climb was actually the place seven or eight feet high below, which was extremely smooth and sunken inward, and those who knew how to climb knew that this kind of rock wall was the most difficult to climb, and it was also very physically demanding; I have to admit that the Tartar soldiers' rocket suppression and wall climbing plan are very thoughtful, and they are exactly the clever plan of the three-dimensional attack to attack their unpreparedness.

The head of the first Tartar soldier slowly poked out of the protruding rock below, and then the second, third, and fourth ......, dozens of Tartars slowly crossed the most difficult section of the mountain wall like a swarm of eight-clawed spiders, and then there was no need to chisel the wall, only to grasp the protrusion to climb up.

The Tartars discarded the ropes and the axes and chisels in their hands, and then some weeds crawled up under the cover, and one of the Tartars inadvertently looked up, and suddenly saw a pitch-black face more than ten feet above, and was immediately startled.

The black face suddenly smiled, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, which was even more eerie and terrifying, and the Tartar soldier was so frightened that he almost fell down, and a centurion beside him shouted: "Is the soul of a dog day screaming?" Do you want to give the Ming army above to find us? ”

"Hair ...... I found that there were people on the cliff face...... Smile at me. ”

The Tartar centurion looked up, the peak was filled with smoke and fire, and the mountain wall was empty, and he immediately scolded angrily: "Laugh at your mother's comparison, what the hell are you?" The rockets are so fierce, they haven't had time to hide, how can they show up? Then the ghost told Lao Tzu to kick you down. ”

The Tartar soldier blinked his eyes and looked carefully, this time there was nothing, I am afraid he was dazzled just now; The Tartars continued to go up, and the Tartar soldiers below also followed slowly like crabs along the chiseled traces, and the higher they went, the more they dared not make a sound, and there was only the sound of arrows leaping and their own heavy gasps, and the hot rocks on the stuffy leeward side of the rocks were hot, and the Tartars gritted their teeth and held back, as long as they succeeded this time, they would never have to suffer in this barren mountain again.

"Bang la" a stone rolled down from above, the sound made the Tartars startled, quickly clinging to the cliff wall and not moving, the stone did not hit people, fell straight to the ground and fell into several pieces, everyone looked up nervously, and suddenly was surprised to find that the upper end of the cliff wall stretched out more than a dozen black faces, and a dozen black and charcoal-like guys showed their snow-white teeth and laughed.

"It's not good, it's been discovered." The Tartars screamed and screamed, but there was nowhere to go, it was impossible to jump, and the only way was to climb up.

But the scene they didn't want to see appeared the most, the fire gun in the hands of the Ming army was the terrifying life-seeking artifact of the Tartars in recent days, and at this moment they all appeared in the hands of more than a dozen black-faced Ming soldiers, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing down.

"Rush up, left and right is dead, rush." The Tartar centurion let out a heart-rending scream, and the strength that came from nowhere, and his hands and feet climbed up more than a foot with rapid speed.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the Tartars who were shaking almost turned their backs.

The Tartar centurion closed his eyes and said, "My life is over." When he opened his eyes, he found that he was unharmed, the Ming army was actually crooked, and a puff of smoke rose from the rocks above, only a few pieces of rubble rolled down, but he was unharmed.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid the dog is hungry and has no strength, and the lighter can't hit it accurately, so the brothers rushed up." The centurion laughed and climbed up frantically.

The Tartars climbed up frantically like chicken blood, "Boom, boom, boom." Several loud noises rang out, but none of the Tartars were shot, and the Ming army seemed to be blind, and no one was killed in four or five bombardments.

The Tartars are bold and strong, obviously the Ming army above has lost its combat effectiveness, in six days, this group of Ming troops can be regarded as steel and iron, but no matter how strong they are, there will be a day of collapse, and this is the beginning of their collapse.

The Tartar soldiers screamed to speed up the frequency of climbing, completely ignoring the threat of the fire gun above his head, Song Nan raised his foot and stepped on the rock, pulled out the fire gun on his waist and slowly put on the two shotguns, turned his head and smiled: "Brothers, look at it." ”

Wan Zhi smiled: "The big guys are waiting to see a good show." ”

Song Nan squinted his eyes, raised his fire and pointed downward, aimed at the crack at the root of the protruding boulder that had been continuously bombarded, licked his chapped lips and pulled the trigger violently.

"Boom." Sand and gravel flying, smoke rises.

"Boom." There was another loud bang, which shook Song Nan's body back, and the recoil of two consecutive shots was still unbearable, and his shoulder socket was scorching.

"This ......" Everyone looked at the boulder in amazement, except for the larger crack in the root, the boulder still did not move, and there was no tendency to fall.

Song Nan frowned, the Tartars were only two or three feet away from the position where everyone was, and in just a moment, it was the momentum of hand-to-hand combat, once they were entangled in hand-to-hand combat, the peak ratio was broken.

One of the guards raised a fire gun and shot it, Song Nan stopped it, jumped out of the stone beam with a loud shout, and climbed down, and the guards shouted loudly: "Lord Song, come back quickly." ”

Song Nan didn't answer, came to the top of the huge rock and jumped down, his feet stepped heavily on the boulder, and he heard the sound of Kerala cracking, the boulder slowly left the mountain wall and slowly fell down, Song Nan clung to the root of a small tree above, and his feet were completely suspended in the air.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he did not forget to look down, only to see the huge rock of a zhang size rolling all the way, and hitting other rocks on the road and shattering into more than a dozen craggy rocks the size of a grinding disc and crushing all the way over; Everywhere I went, more gravel was formed by the constant impact, and soon the entire hillside was covered with rolling stones, with yellow dust, forming a torrent of stones surging down.

The Tartar soldiers on the mountain wall were stunned and watched the rain of stones coming from the top, and before they could react, they were smashed and rolled down, hundreds of Tartar soldiers were carried by the stones and fell with a bang, and the Tartar soldiers waiting to climb up below were also smashed down by the rain of stones and human flesh falling from the sky.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and a miniature Great Wall made of human flesh, mud and stone at the bottom of the mountain wall was instantly cast.

In the pile of stones, the blood-stained limbs, the broken heads, the bubbling blood, the slightly trembling toes, the situation is so miserable that people can't look at it directly.

The more than 100 lives that were still alive just now have been calmed down in this living grave.

The surviving Tartar soldiers cried and fled far away, away from this land of the living dead, and Bald Fierce listened to the report of the Tartar soldiers who rushed over, and quickly ordered to stop shooting, and personally rode his horse around the cliff to the north.

Everyone pulled Song Nan onto the stone beam, and Wan Zhi said in horror: "Lord Song, how can you personally get into danger?" What would we do if you fell just now? What can the emperor do? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "The stone has already been loosened, all that is needed is the last bit of pressure, our gunpowder is tight, I don't want to waste another shot." ”

Looking at everyone's almost adoring gazes, Song Nan said slowly: "Tartar is so crazy, obviously our reinforcements are coming, at this time, whoever can survive the most is the final winner, no one should give up lightly, even when you think you are desperate, don't give up hope." ”

All the guards shouted in unison: "My subordinates have been taught." ”

"We are the last straw that crushed this rock, and we are the last straw that crushed the morale of the Tartar soldiers, see no, the rocket has stopped, the Tartars are probably poor in donkey skills, I am 100% sure that the Tartars have nothing to do with us, brothers, our hard days are coming to an end."

Song Nan looked down at the earth, the smoke and dust dispersed, the mountains were undulating, the grass was green in the valley, and a winding Great Wall dragon circled between the mountains in the distance.

Clear skies! The rivers and mountains are great!
