……

"All stopped!"

One mile away from Suoyun Pass, Qin Zongquan saw that this place was still empty, and decisively ordered to stop the march and set up a formation.

Then he still repeated his old tricks, and said to the soldiers around him: "You go to persuade him to surrender immediately." ”

"Yes!"

The pro-soldiers didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ran to persuade the defenders of the pass to surrender.

After tasting the sweetness of Hukou Pass's bloodless blades, Qin Zongquan can be regarded as having passed the addiction of "Chang Sheng's general", naively thinking that Suoyun Pass cannot be compared with Hukou Pass in terms of strength and terrain, so what reason does the defenders in the pass have not to surrender?

However, this time he was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong, the four hundred defenders of Suoyun Pass were not soft persimmons, but a hard iron plate, and he had to pay a price for kicking him.

The soldiers came to the city and shouted: "Listen to the defenders on the gate, Yongzhou City has been conquered by our army, if you are interested, surrender quickly, and you will not die!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a pair of cold eyes were immediately projected at the battlement, which made the soldiers stunned, and their hairs stood up unconsciously.

The next moment, Wang Chang squeezed out his head and raised his crossbow to the soldiers under the city: "Give you three breaths to escape, otherwise this crossbow arrow will pierce the heads of the thieves and others!" ”

The soldiers glared at each other, and said angrily: "General Qin is benevolent and righteous, give you a way to live, and advise you not to be ignorant." ”

"飕~"

"Poof~"

As soon as the voice of the Chu army's pro-soldier fell, Wang Chang pressed the trigger, and the crossbow arrow was like a meteor catching the moon, directly piercing the throat of the pro-soldier.

The pro-soldier had a long mouth, covering his cold neck, and he couldn't understand until he died, how could this guard of the cloud pass be so domineering?

Then, with endless cold, the soldier fell to the end, and in the blink of an eye, he was swept away by the darkness and stopped breathing.

Qin Zongquan, who was in the distance, was also stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, then drew his sword and roared: "Go all out and take down the Suoyun Pass!" ”

"Drink~"

"Drink~"

"Drink~"

Thousands of Chu army soldiers shouted wildly, and then carried the ladder siege vehicle and launched an offensive towards Suoyun Pass.

"It's coming!"

Wang Chang put away his crossbow, picked up the fire gun, licked his dry lower lip, and said excitedly: "Brothers, let this group of rabble realize the power of my Jingwu Academy!" ”

"Drink!"

The four hundred non-commissioned officers shouted in unison, and then officially entered a state of alert, lowered their helmets, poked out the black firearms out of the battlements, and aimed at the attacking Chu army.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

"Flutter-"

At a distance of seventy paces, the archers responsible for covering the siege troops, under the orders of their superiors, began to fire a volley at the head of the city.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding......"

However, when the sharp arrow hit the non-commissioned officer, it made a crisp metal crashing sound.

The high-quality iron armor protected the soldiers intact, and under the rain of arrows, none of the four hundred soldiers were injured.

Since the iron armor began to be mass-produced under Liu Ce, the threat of bows and arrows has been less of a problem, except for heavy bows and crossbows such as armor-piercing bed crossbows, only bows with more than three stones can cause them damage.

However, the three-stone bow is not something that ordinary soldiers can pull open, and the number is pitiful, and this threat is almost negligible.

However, these rounds of volleys, although they did not cause damage to the defenders, also allowed the besieging Chu soldiers to successfully arrive at Suoyun Pass.

Wang Chang, who had been observing the form of the enemy army with a speculum, decisively ordered: "Aim at the thief army behind the ladder and shoot with a firearm!" ”

"Bang Bang ......"

Fifty firearms burst out in unison in an instant, and under the impetus of gunpowder, lead bullets flew densely towards the Chu soldiers behind the cloud ladder.

"Puff ......"

When he landed, a cloud of blood mist rose in the ranks of the Chu army, and the soldiers who were shot were stunned at first, and then the ghosts cried and howled wolves.

"Mom~"

A Chu soldier was pierced through the abdomen by a lead bullet, and a fist-sized wound was opened at the time, and the intestines in his body suddenly flowed to the ground.

The soldiers of the Chu army were in pain and fear, so they dropped their weapons and pressed the wound with their hands, trying to stuff the flowing intestines back into their stomachs.

On the side, half of the archer's cheek was directly wiped off by the high-speed projectile, revealing his white and red teeth, and he was dancing with his hands and scurrying around the battlefield like crazy.

There was also a Chu soldier who was hit in the knee, and his leg bones were crushed, and he lay on his back on the ground in pain and wailed loudly.

This round of shooting caused more than 20 casualties among the soldiers of the Chu army, although it was not much, but it brought an unprecedented shock to the Chu army.

It was the first time that many of the Chu soldiers present had seen the power of the firecracker, and they all swallowed their saliva and trembled when they saw the tragic situation of their companions after being hit by the firecracker.

It's a pity that this was only the first round, and soon, the second round of fifty firearms aimed at them.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was another explosion like a burst of beans, and a blood mist rose again in the Chu army's array, and more than 20 people were shot and fell to the ground, some died on the spot with direct hits, and some were waiting for death to come in pain.

When the third round of fire salvos was fired, the attacking Chu soldiers had already collapsed, and Qin Zongquan saw this, and hurriedly covered with swords and shields, so that he could stabilize the situation and continue to attack.

Fortunately, the cloud ladder has been erected high, and the siege vehicle is about to arrive at the Suoyun Pass, Qin Zongquan breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a little surprised by the fire guns in the Shu army, but everything seemed to be developing in his favor.

However......

Just as the soldiers of the Chu army began to climb the ladder, the muzzle of the Huzun cannon was already quietly aimed at them.

Wang Chang smiled extremely cruelly, came to a tiger cannon with a torch, looked at the Chu soldiers who were struggling to climb, and lit the goose down fuse at the end of the cannon: "Let the thief army taste what it means to be a rain of bullets and guns." ”

"Boom~"

The fiery gas burst out violently along the muzzle of the Huzun cannon, and a dense group of scattered bullets swept directly towards the group of ignorant siege soldiers.

Before a Chu saber and shield hand who was climbing could react, he felt a wave of heat sweeping across his face, and his eyes narrowed instinctively, and then he opened his eyes for a moment and saw a palm hanging on the cloud ladder directly above his son.

When I looked at it again, I saw that it was my palm.

"Ah~~"

In the next second, he let out an inhumane ghostly scream, and one stumbled down the ladder and fell heavily to the ground, overpowering his companion who was about to climb below.

There was also a Chu soldier who was even more miserable, he was shot at close range, and countless scattered bullets pierced his body directly from the side, and when he landed, he was already unrecognizable, and his whole body was bleeding.

The scattered bullets tore through his internal organs, and his expression was extremely hideous until death, and he couldn't tell whether it was fear or madness.

Fifteen Huzun cannons fired a salvo, hitting the ladder up and down the Chu army soldiers are crying father and mother, and the corpses of minced meat everywhere completely crushed their psychological defense line.

After the sixth round of firecrackers, the attacking Chu soldiers left more than 200 corpses under the Suoyun Pass, and completely retreated.

The first attack of the Chu army was declared a failure......
