Chapter 376: Another Ruthless Man

After the crossbowmen in the second row of officers and soldiers finished shooting, they turned around and handed the crossbows to the back, and the ones behind handed over two crossbows loaded with arrows.

The first native soldier didn't expect them to do this.

Hearing the sound of shooting, he subconsciously raised his shield.

Pounce, when.

Two rings in a row.

An arrow was shot at his helmet, and an arrow was shot at his left shoulder.

His whole body trembled, and he clearly felt the crossbow arrow penetrate the three layers of armor and shoot into his own flesh.

This crossbow is very powerful at close range, but fortunately he wears three layers of armor, and his body is on the right, otherwise, he would have been shot by an arrow and fell into a deep stream.

Holding back the pain, he got up and took two quick steps forward, the two sides were so close that they could clearly see the hairs on each other's faces.

But because the road is too narrow, neither side dares to make a big move.

"Kill." The spearmen of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were the first to shout and stabbed at him.

The native soldier ignored him, and quickly took something out of his waist and put it on his lips.

The officer stabbed hard, and found that the spear was a little out of reach of the native soldiers.

Sheng Yong asked them to calculate the distance as much as possible in the first wave, and sure enough, the officers and soldiers stabbed the air.

The key is just a little bit, his officers and soldiers want to move forward.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the native soldiers raised their heads.

Pounce and blow hard.

'Flutter' hit the brow of the sword and shield soldier.

The sword and shield soldier thought that this native soldier was going to shoot a pikeman, after all, the pikeman did not have a shield, but he didn't expect the other party to be so accurate, and he was blowing an arrow at his brow.

"Ah," the officer and soldier screamed.

The officer was outside, on the left side of the opposing native soldier, and immediately let out a scream, swish, and his body fell into the deep stream.

Immediately later, an official made up for it, and this person held a crossbow in his hand, fluttering, and another crossbow against the native soldiers.

The native soldier raised his shield in one fell swoop.

But I heard a muffled grunt behind me.

Without looking back, he knew that the native soldier standing behind him had been shot.

Because the native soldier leaned on the right, he didn't fall down for the first time, his body staggered, and he almost knocked the others down, and the native soldier was slightly flustered in the formation.

Si Cangmu looked at the big urgency in the back: "Push him down, push him down." ”

This person was hit by an arrow in the face, and he basically couldn't survive, and if he kept it now, it would affect them.

Someone behind him immediately sighed and pushed the man hard, pushing him into the deep stream.

Being seriously injured on this road basically means that you have to die, otherwise it is easy to affect other people, and it will be difficult for everyone to advance and retreat.

At the same time as the attack on Drawbridge Ridge began, Sheng Yong organized soldiers and horses to attack Chengguan from the front to attract the attention of the officers and troops.

Trucks appeared in front.

Yesterday they didn't attack again in the afternoon, Sheng Yong thought of what Zhu Gaoxu said, and began to cut down trees around to build a cart.

The defensive area of Wuguan City is small, but there are more artillery than ordinary county seats, Sheng Yong remembers that Zhu Gaoxu said that even the artillery can't be used for the carts stacked with sandbags.

Because it is only about a hundred steps wide, yesterday and early this morning, Sheng Yong built thirty cars here.

The cart is about five paces wide, and twenty cars are exactly about 100 paces.

But Sheng Yong knew that under the enemy's artillery fire, he might not be able to guarantee that he would stay twenty steps.

Each truck is stacked with six sandbags, two in one layer, for a total of three layers.

At this weight, they just don't have too much effort to push forward, and if they pile it up again, they may not be able to push it.

As soon as the battle began, the natives pushed the cart forward, and a large number of natives behind them carried a sandbag on their backs.

After only five hundred steps, the opponent's Hongwu cannon rang out.

The chariots and the natives were scattered in all directions, and they were not concentrated.

Boom, from time to time shells fall, and then bounce.

From time to time, some local soldiers were hit, and the screams at the scene were endless.

After entering a hundred steps, the fire bell at the head of the wall also rang out.

After another fifty paces, arrows rained down on the city.

Sheng Yong and Ping'an looked ahead, and the natives kept being knocked down, with heavy casualties.

Thirty carts were pushed to within fifty meters, and only eighteen were still intact, surrounded by corpses of natives.

The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and at the same time thought, fortunately, these are all local people.

They brought in tens of thousands of local people in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces, all of whom were voluntarily supported by the leaders of the Tusi Division.

These people are slaves belonging to the Tusi leaders in the territory of the Tusi, and they are worthless, and for every one killed, the Han King has to subsidize the money to the Tusi leader, so the leaders don't care at all.

After the eighteen carts were in place, it was easy to do, and the natives who came up one after another desperately piled sandbags up.

The bowls and bows and arrows at the head of the city shot more fiercely, and a large number of natives fell to the scene forever.

But under this heavy casualty, the carts were piled higher and higher, and soon exceeded the height of the person.

At this time, the front of the bowl and the bow and arrow can no longer be hit behind the cart, and only the throw of the bow and arrow will be useful.

"Special mother, can you push the cannon up?" Ping An saw it from afar and was a little excited.

This trick is the most commonly used by the Han king, pushing the cannon under the opponent's city gate.

However, before Ping'an's voice fell, boom, the door suddenly closed and opened.

"Kill." A wave of officers and troops rushed out.

The people who were stacking were all natives, and they were suddenly caught off guard.

The people turned their heads and ran away, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly pushed up the sandbags on the cart, sighing, and the sandbags that had finally been piled up fell down one after another.

Then the officers and soldiers turned around and ran back to the city like a tide.

Sheng Yong disturbed his head and looked depressed.

The local people fled frantically, leaving a large number of corpses and sandbags on the ground, and the sandbags that were dug up yesterday and today have been exhausted.

It's all rocky hills, and it's not easy to dig some sand.

The point is that he didn't bring too many bags either.

He looked back, and Ping An then asked, "Can our cannons push forward and hit them?" ”

"We are at an elevation angle, and we fight from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, and it is not easy to fight." Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "You must push to the front." ”

But there is no car protection in front, push it up, or deliver food.

Sheng Yong was looking behind him, there were a large number of armored soldiers standing, and a large number of ladders were prepared.

Si Renfa told him that the Ming army should prepare, and once they killed the drawbridge ridge, the Ming army would attack the city and take advantage of the chaos to kill it.

Si Shi, you have to work hard, Sheng Yong hopes in his heart that Si Shi can help them open up the situation.

In fact, he can ignore the casualties, and directly let the rebel army go forward and pile up the carts at the same time, maybe there is a chance to capture Wuguan, but in this way, the rebel army will suffer heavy casualties, and when there is no way to do it at the last moment, Sheng Yong will not do this.

If tens of thousands of people are killed and injured in attacking a military pass, it will hurt morale very much.

Just when Sheng Yong's attack in front was blocked again, it was already Si Cangmu's turn on the other side.

Si Cangmu is the twelfth in the row, in addition to wanting to make meritorious contributions, he also has a little hope, hoping that the eleven in front of him can open up the situation, then he will be safe to make meritorious contributions.

But the brothers in front of them were knocked down into a deep stream.

The officers and soldiers on the opposite side also suffered many casualties.

Compared with the Qin soldiers in history, who were two against one hundred, the native soldiers have confirmed their strength.

Whew, Si Cangmu had three layers of armor all over his body, and after walking in such a narrow place for a while, his body was already sweating like rain, he took a deep breath, steady, steady.

Keeping his body steady, his shoulders sank to the right, allowing most of his strength to sink to the right.

Not long ago, a brother didn't pay attention, and was grabbed by the other party's spear, pulled hard, and fell directly into the deep stream.

Si Cangmu remembered the main points and stepped forward step by step.

Five steps, three steps.

Whoosh, crossbow arrows flew from the opposite side again, some shot people, some shot behind him.

Fortunately, the person behind him also had a shield, and both of them raised their shields at the same time.

Pounce, pounce, the crossbow arrow into the wood for three points, the opposite officer and soldier hurriedly handed the crossbow back, and then took the crossbow loaded with arrows handed behind.

Si Cangmu observed the distance of the opponent's spear.

The officers and soldiers in the front row were crouching on the ground, trying to stab him in the foot with their spears.

Probably knew that he would use his shield to hold up the arrows.

Si Cangmu deliberately took his right leg forward and raised his hand at the same time.

Whoosh, an arrow blew out.

"Ahh

However, this time the official army was unlucky, and when this official army fell, he accidentally reached out and brought one.

"Beware, beware, ah-" Another uninjured officer was implicated by him, and there was also a scream, whoosh, and the two fell down one after another.

At this time, the officers and soldiers in the front row shot Si Cangmu in the right leg.

When, but there was a crisp sound, and he was stunned when he heard it.

Si Cangmu's right hand quickly took it and shook it.

A short axe hit the pikeman's face.

"Give it to me." Si Cangmu drank vigorously at the same time.

Someone behind him hurriedly handed over a bag of things, and it was already on fire.

Boom, still smoking, it was actually a ball of wrapped gunpowder.

Si Cangmu was really bold, holding it in his hand and watching it burn.

The native soldiers had blown up the city gate in Guizhou, and knowing that the lead was going to burn for a while, he was afraid that he would fall off the cliff if he threw it over, so he took it in his hand and stared at it.

The soldier behind him was so frightened that he cried out in terror: "Throw! ”

Si Cangmu held the shield in one hand, gritted his teeth and waited for a few more breaths, and threw it forward.

As soon as his body appeared, he fluttered, and a crossbow shot at his head from the opposite side.

Fortunately, there was a helmet to block him, and his body shook and almost fell into the deep stream on the left, and his companion behind him hurriedly grabbed him.

But under the influence of this arrow, the explosives that he could have thrown ten paces away flew directly behind the first row on the opposite side.

It's too close, "Get down, to the right." He shouted frantically, and at the same time quickly drew a short knife with his right hand, and when the knife was plunged into the crack of the two stones on the right, he grabbed it.

Behind him, several native soldiers lay down one after another.

The next moment.

Bang.

There was a loud bang at the scene.

The whole mountain was shaking.

With a bang, a large number of rocks rolled down.

"Ahh-——h-——h

Whether it was the officers and soldiers on the narrow road, or the native soldiers, some people fell down.

It turned out that Si Cangmu had already had his own way of playing, in addition to tying a short knife to his feet to block the gun, he was also preparing to use explosives to open the way.

Sheng Yong didn't expect it before.

In other words, Sheng Yong also has to consider his own people.

But Si Cangmu, the bastard, didn't care about his own people, and just threw explosives.

The ground shook by the explosion, and a large number of local soldiers at the scene did not have time to lie down, nor did they stand firmly, and fell down one after another.

But the officers and soldiers fell even more.

Because some of the soldiers can remember to lean to the right, the officers and soldiers will not know to lean to the left.

Si Cangmu's body shook twice, and the shield he was holding was swept into the deep stream by the shock wave, almost bringing him below.

After the huge explosion, their team of fifty people, and more than twenty people stood on it, and almost half of them fell into the deep stream.

Si Cangmu quickly got up and pulled out a short knife: "Rush." ”

A roar rushed over.

Within ten steps ahead, there were no more officers and soldiers.

The dividing line between the two sides was to be guarded by the officers and soldiers, and after rushing over, Si Cangmu found that the road behind him was getting wider and wider.

Thirty paces away, there are already seven or eight paces wide, and you can fire cannons.

He took the lead and rushed forward, and a steady stream of native soldiers behind him also crossed the dividing line, and after coming, there were more people.

Two or three, or even three or four, are lined up together.

If the officers and soldiers react quickly enough and their morale is strong enough, they will have a chance to drive them back at this time.

However, the explosion just now shocked people's hearts and also shook their military hearts, a large number of officers and soldiers were blown away, and the rest retreated one after another, for fear that the rebels would throw them again.

At this time, Si Cangmu rushed forward more and more, and soon came to a place seven or eight steps wide, and there were more and more native soldiers gathered behind him.

"Tell the back to hand over the explosives, quick, quick, is there anything else?" Si Cangmu said excitedly, because he knew that the first major achievement in breaking the martial arts pass belonged to him.

What are the four major portals in the pass, the world is dangerous, with two enemies and one hundred, in front of my Si Cangmu, they are all scum.

"He's a ruthless man." Sheng Yong soon heard the news that Si Cangmu rushed in with explosives, and at that time he thought that this native was a ruthless man.

If you use explosives in such a scenario, not only your own people will fall, but you will also fall at any time.

Si Cangmu is really ruthless, he dares to do this.

He didn't hesitate, and when he heard that Si Cangmu had already brought people in, he felt that the breakthrough was imminent, and immediately ordered: "Siege the city." ”

"Kill, -——" The rebel army carried the ladder and surged forward like a tide.
