Chapter 556: Here Come, Here Comes Help
As soon as Ma Dai got up, he heard the sound of cannons from the direction of Yumen Pass, and understood that the enemy was attacking the city again.
When they immediately set up their positions and prepared to defend themselves, they could see that outside the enemy's camp, there were five more guns, and if you looked at the formation, it seemed that there were more than 20,000 men.
"It's not good, last night the enemy came to the aid of the night overnight, do it! Shoot at the enemy's artillery! ”
Ma Dai said decisively.
As long as the enemy's artillery is destroyed, the threat is not so great, and it must be attacked first.
The Divine Fire Raven was all used up yesterday.
They could only use mortars to attack, and the sound of artillery firing soon appeared in the camp, and seeing Ma Dai attack first, Nanqi naturally would not just be beaten, and ordered a counterattack.
The two sides fought again.
There were 20,000 more troops in Nanqi, and there was artillery, and now his confidence was inflated, and he no longer put Ma Dai in his eyes, and while bombarding with artillery, he ordered the soldiers to move forward.
Ma Dai wanted to use mortars to fly the enemy's artillery.
But their judgment and accuracy were not enough, and they just flew one cannon, and the rest continued to be fired.
This time, both sides had firearms and began to bombard each other, and the battle became more and more intense, and the artillery fire continued to be in the sky.
In terms of performance and strike range, or mortars are stronger, Ma Dai can have the upper hand in firearms, but there are many soldiers on the difficult side, they use artillery cover to contain mortars at the same time, and constantly send troops to rush out, wanting to surround Ma Dai and kill them.
"Cavalry, out of battle!"
Ma Dai could let them surround them smoothly
Three thousand cavalrymen, divided into two groups, rushed out from the left and right to kill the enemy, preventing the enemy's approach and encirclement.
However, Nanqi had already been prepared, the cavalry had just completed a charge, and the second charge had just started, and the advancing soldiers still raised their spears to stab the cavalry.
How dare the cavalry be so hard to touch, they had to retreat separately.
The confrontation and collision between the two sides continued.
Nanqi finally regained his upper hand, chased and attacked Ma Dai, and directly crushed the past with the advantage of troops.
Ma Dai was not an opponent soon, so he had no choice but to retreat in the direction of Yumen Pass, and after a short time, Nanqi led his troops to fight under Yumen Pass.
At this time, he could no longer retreat, and Ma Dai could only grit his teeth and had to counterattack back.
The Jade Gate Pass cannot be lost.
"Big brother, I can't hold it, the enemy is nearby."
Matthew suddenly shouted.
Ma Chao turned his head and looked down at the pass, only to see that Ma Dai was still struggling to support it, but he couldn't hold it anymore, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Ling Ming, you take 5,000 people to save Deshan, and the rest continue to be guarded by me, how many explosives are there?" Don't save, throw them all away! ”
They have enough explosives to keep dropping down.
In addition, wood and stone, boiling water and boiling oil are also ready.
When the explosives are exploded, they can also ignite some of the spilled grease and burn the enemy, but the effect of this is not very great, and once the number of people increases, the ignited fire is very easy to extinguish.
One after another, enemies climbed up to the castle tower through the ladder.
While commanding the defense, Ma Chao raised his spear and led his troops to kill the enemy who climbed up.
The focus of their bombardment was on the enemy's ladders.
You can fry as much as you want.
Fortunately, the city gate had been blocked with stones, otherwise according to the enemy's level of attack, it would have been broken through and killed.
"Meng Qi, I can't hold it here!"
Pang Degang led his troops to save Ma Dai, but he was quickly defeated, and he had no choice but to retreat in front of the pass gate, raising his head and shouting upwards.
Nanqi finally hit the edge of the closed door.
The Western Regions Alliance, attacking Yumen Pass inside and outside, is about to take it down, at this time, Nanqi doesn't know how excited he is, and even began to fantasize about how happy and rich life is after occupying the Han Dynasty.
Ma Chao was about to ignore the enemy who was attacking the key problems first, concentrate his strength, and take out the difficult habitat below, when a loud sound of horses' hooves came from the east.
Everyone looked up and saw a large number of cavalry, the number is not clear, but it seems that there are a lot, running quickly, and the smoke and dust raised are several feet high, ten miles away.
The cavalry also had a banner, which was Yang Zhao's military flag.
"Here, the lord's support is here!"
Ma Chao cheered excitedly.
Ma Tie shouted: "The lord is finally here, the Jade Gate Pass can be defended, gather and defend quickly!" ”
The soldiers guarding the pass, the moment they saw their cavalry appear, it was as if they had seen victory, their morale was boosted, their fighting spirit was once again high, and they fought hard to resist the enemy.
When Ma Dai and Pang De saw this, they immediately burst into tears, and finally waited for this moment, no matter how hard it was, no matter how difficult it was, it was worth it!
Nanqi was still a little flustered when he saw that there were cavalry from the Han army again, but they didn't mess too badly, and immediately ordered the soldiers to raise their spears and want to stab the cavalry who rushed over.
However, the first to appear was the Xuanjia Jingqi led by Tian Yu.
As light cavalry, they broke out quickly and faster, and as soon as they came to the vicinity of Yumen Pass, they saw that the enemy had already entered the pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass were also fighting hard.
Then I saw those people from the Western Regions, raising their spears and trying to deal with their cavalry.
"Separate, bullets loaded, repeater ready, hands!"
Tian Yu shouted loudly.
A lieutenant general beside him waved the order flag and passed the order down.
The Mauser rifles made by Ma Jun are already in mass production, but the first batch of guns made is not much, only 2,000, which he equipped with the Xuanjia elite cavalry, and let them train them to shoot on horseback.
Because the gun has recoil.
Shooting when running on horseback, stability is easily disturbed by recoil, Xuanjia Jingqi trained for a period of time, just mastered it proficiently, and encountered the Western Regions coalition to attack.
Yang Zhao directly let them fight.
The two thousand Xuanjia elite horsemen loaded the bullets, opened the safe, pulled the bolt, and followed Tian Yu to kill the enemy, and the gunshots rang out.
The accuracy, effective range, and penetration of the bullet are all stronger than that of the repeater.
Two thousand bullets were fired out at the same time, and the soldiers of the Western Regions who raised their spears in the front row, ready to stab the cavalry, were knocked down quite a lot, and the enemy fell in pieces.
Thirteen thousand soldiers armed with repeater crossbows shot their arrows after the gunners.
Nanqi was a little confused.
Why did this group of Han cavalry not rush over directly, but attacked with long-range weapons.
Those ranged weapons, kind of like muskets they've ever seen.
But it is more powerful than that of a musket.
Look at your soldiers, don't panic, Nansu changes his strategy and starts defense.
Ma Dai and Pang De's pressure dropped sharply at this moment, and they ordered another mortar bombardment to disrupt the enemy's military formation as much as possible.
After the Xuanjia elite cavalry, it is naturally a heavy cavalry.
The hoplite cavalry led by Zhao Yun cut in from the north when the Xuanjia elite cavalry shot the soldiers of the Western Regions, dodged the spears that were raised, and pressed the horse lance in his hand down.
Heavy cavalry, rampage, broke into the Western Regions army.
The horse lance swept wildly, penetrating the bodies of unknown number of enemies, and the tall river meandering horses, raising their front hooves, mercilessly trampled the enemies in front of them, and no one could stop them.
