"General Qiyu! The Ming State Zhang Auxiliary Department even broke the slope barrier pass and the pass was left behind. ”

At Jiling Pass, a scout hurried to report the news and handed over the news from the previous two passes.

Hu Lie, the general of Annan who was in charge of the defense line of the three passes, looked at it, his face changed slightly, he did not expect the Ming army's offensive to be so fast and fierce, and it only took one afternoon to break through two checkpoints.

You must know that since the situation between Daming and Annan gradually became tense, Hu Lieke began to prepare, and he has been preparing here for several months.

Therefore, according to Hu Lie's assumption, even if the two passes of the slope barrier and the pass can't resist the Ming army in the end, how can it be delayed for ten days and half a month, but now it's good, and it hasn't been delayed for a day!

"Wu Shixun is incompetent! Lose your teacher and humiliate the country! Looks like I'll have to go out of the mountain myself! Hu Lie scolded secretly.

Now after receiving the news of the scout cavalry, he immediately sent a large number of cavalry to intercept the rout, and at the same time disarmed, he identified the identity of the rout soldiers in the small village in front of Jiling Pass, tied them up one by one, and pressed them into the two big villages on the periphery, so as not to appear again The Ming army that was mixed in to seize the pass.

However, at this time, the Jiling Pass, that is, the famous Zhennan Pass during the Qingfa War and the Friendship Pass during the Sino-Vietnamese War, after all, is a rare Xiongguan in Annam, although it is not as good as the Tongguan where Huaxia can hoard 100,000 troops, but it is more than enough to hoard 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, because of the large number of people and the reason that the training is quite well-trained, after receiving this batch of routs, there is no chaos.

And these defeated soldiers have no fighting spirit, just like dogs with broken bones, they can't be used without rectification, but fortunately, there are many Annan troops guarding the pass, and there is no shortage of manpower.

Several lieutenant generals rushed over when they heard the news, well, there was nothing to hide, and the routs who had retreated from the pass were all over the mountains.

"General?"

After Hu Lie gave another part of the order, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that I still underestimated Zhang Fu." ”

Although he is ambitious and ambitious, in the final analysis, even if he stands at the same table as Zhang Fu, he is not a level of opponent.

His troops are not strong enough, only more than 30,000 people, and what he can rely on is the easy to defend and difficult to attack Jiling Pass, while Zhang Fu is different, he not only has a large number of troops, but also the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.

"General, I heard that Zhang Fu is just a shadow marquis, why do you attach so much importance to him?" Someone asked with a frown.

Hu Lie shook his head and said: "Zhang Fu is not a simple figure, according to our intelligence, he has already emerged in the Jingyan Battle in the past few years, and is a favorite of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that he was influenced by the new military thinking of the Ming Dynasty, advocating the combination of large-scale use of firearms and traditional tactics. ”

"Don't forget, if Wu Shixun's defeat can be attributed to not being careful enough, he was raided on the flank, but the failure of the pass is completely Zhang Fu's strategy, which can be called 'bold and careful' The desire to attack is extremely strong, and he will not be satisfied with a small result at all, and the cooperation between the defeated troops and the backup cavalry is just right, to be honest, I haven't figured it out until now, why the Ming army can cooperate so well?"

This question is obviously because Hu Lie doesn't understand how buggy hot air balloons are on the battlefield of this era.

To put it simply, the Ming army is open, and from God's perspective, there is still no fog of war.

After listening to this, the Annan generals of Jiling Pass couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Hu Lie glanced at the generals around him and continued: "If our army wants to defeat the Ming army, I am afraid it will be very difficult, so it is best to wait for the reinforcements of King Wei." ”

What I want to say here is that the so-called "Wei Wang" refers to Hu Yuancheng.

Hu Yuancheng is the eldest son of Hu Jichen, who served as Situ during the Chen Dynasty, and now serves as Zuo Xiangguo in "Dayu" and is the king of Wei.

Isn't that weird? Why did Hu Yuancheng, as the eldest son, not become the emperor, but let Hu Hancang become the emperor?

When deciding who would be the emperor, Hu Jichen had a young son, so he took the inkstone to test Hu Yuancheng, "This volume of strange stones, sometimes for the clouds for the rain, to run the people", Hu Yuancheng's answer was "these three inches of small pine, he is a pillar every day, to support the community", so Hu Jichen passed the throne to the younger son, handed over the military power to the eldest son, and wrote a poem to warn them, "The sky is also covered, the earth is also loaded, how can the two brothers not love each other?" Woohoo lamentation, singing generosity".

This is a bit of a beggar version of Sima's family

However, if the historical line is not shifted, Hu Yuancheng's fate should be quite interesting.

As the left Xiangguo and Wei Wang of Annan, after he was captured by the Ming army, he was awarded an official position by the Ming Dynasty because he was good at using firearms.

And this kid's official fortune is very prosperous, in the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Industry is mixed with wind and water, with the sensitive identity of the Annan royal family, from Yongle to orthodoxy, more than 30 years even promoted to the Ministry of Works, Langzhong, Shilang, orthodox ten years in June, Hu Yuancheng from the Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang was promoted to the Ministry of Works, unlocked a unique special achievement - at the same time in the Ming Dynasty and Annan to be a very popular minister.

This kind of fate, even Hu Yuancheng was surprised, and sighed that he "came out of the valley, moved to the arbor, and the ditch was broken, and the same thing was indiscriminate, isn't it the uncut of the ancestors?" It is necessary to be born in the holy world, deeply immersed in Yaoren, and there is this adventure! ”

Of course, Hu Yuancheng at the moment naturally does not know what his future fate is, and he is now completing the doomed task of "fighting against the Ming Dynasty" as the commander-in-chief of the Fuliangjiang defense line in Annan.

It's just that the specific process of failure may have a slight deviation from the inherent historical line.

The decision of Ji Lingguan here has been decided, Hu Lie paused, and he continued: "Come on, give the general an order!" Order all armies to strengthen their vigilance and go all out to meet the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom! Decisive battle of Jiling Pass! ”

"Obey!" The generals agreed.

——————

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Fu led an army of 50,000 to kill Jiling Pass and set up camp in front of the pass.

When the morning sun shines on the wilderness outside Jiling Pass, it suddenly puts on a golden glow for this desolate flat land.

The chicken feather was closed, and the torches that had not been extinguished in the middle of the night were still swaying, shining on everything outside the gate.

Outside the pass, a group of Ming cavalry wearing leather armor and carrying horizontal swords at their waists had already completed the formation, and a pair of sharp eyes were staring at the movement in the pass.

Of course, it was impossible for the Ming army to attack the city with cavalry, and these cavalry were slightly approached by the guards and generals.

However, in order to avoid the joke that the lord will be sniped, and with binoculars, the generals of the Ming Dynasty do not need to get too close to observe this Xiongguan calmly.

It must be known that in later generations, the friendship pass is one of the top ten famous passes in China, although it is now stolen by the Li Dynasty of the Annan Kingdom, but it still cannot hinder its greatness, the left side of the pass is the city wall of the left Bishan Mountain, the right side is the city wall of the right auxiliary mountain, just like the foot of the two mountains of the giant python, the momentum is magnificent.

Moreover, Jiling Pass is the highest danger pass on the border of Annan, its topography is too special, because the two sides rely on the mountains to build, so it forms a continuous city wall and beacon tower similar to the Great Wall, it can be said that there are police posts all over, it is impossible to overcome it by means of detouring around the rear and outflanking it.

In the front of Jiling Pass, it is a wide and flat official road that is somewhat excessive, this road is in later generations, that is, the famous 322 National Highway, at this time it is also the main traffic road between Daming and Annam.

Jiling Pass its wall is made of heavy bluestone, the wall is calculated to the mountains on both sides, up to 400 steps, there are complete defenses such as horse rejection and antlers, wooden stakes and so on in front of the pass, there is a moat in front of the wall, in front of the moat is about three zhang wide, about five zhang deep, and the ditch is full of sharpened wooden thorns.

In addition, the city wall also arranges a lot of plum blossom villages, small villages set big villages, much tighter than the defense system of the pass to stay in passes, these villages are also full of arrow towers, battlements and trebuchets, every seven or eight zhang away, there will be earth mountains, the defenders in the wall can occupy the height advantage and shoot at will, cause a serious threat to the attacker.

It can be said that Jiling Pass is the most important pass in Annan, as long as it is captured, the entire Annan country will completely lose the initiative on the battlefield of the Ming Dynasty, and can only retreat to the Fuliangjiang defense line to be passively beaten.

It is precisely because of this that Hu Yuancheng sent Hu Lie, an Annan warrior, to garrison.

On the upper floor, the generals of the Ming army passed through the binoculars and saw a burly general standing in it, holding a mace in his hand, with a serious expression and a fierce look in his eyes.

After glancing at the soldiers of Annan, Hu Lie snorted coldly: "The Ming army is here, beat the drums, and prepare for battle!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom"

The war drums rumbled at the head of the city, deafening.

As the drums of war gradually rose, the atmosphere inside the pass suddenly became tense, and countless pairs of eyes stared closely at the huge Ming army outside the pass.

After the generals of the Ming army finished observing, they also began to retreat back to the camp, and the camp of the Ming army was "lived", countless smoke and dust were raised, and the generals of Annan who stood on the wall were difficult to judge the movement of the Ming army by observing with the naked eye.

In a short time, a fast horse galloped in, and the sentry on horseback galloped close to the gatehouse.

Hu Lie fixed his eyes and recognized the identity of the person, he hurriedly leaned down and asked, "How is it?" ”

The man replied, "General Qiyu, the Ming army dispatched hundreds of cavalry, and it seems that they want to provoke. ”

Hu Lie immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, his face slowed down slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Let the brothers be on guard, and we will also send a team of cavalry out." ”

Obviously, Hu Lie was confident in his cavalry.

Soon, the gongs and drums were noisy and the trumpets sounded.

Although the real war is not a romance, and there is no link of 1V1 fighting generals, in this kind of war that is obviously impossible to decide the winner immediately, it is still very common for the elite troops of both sides to give each other a dismount.

Outside the gate of Ji Ling Pass, there was an open space.

The hussar general Zhu Rong rode his horse and stood here, raised his head and looked up at the Jiling Pass, only to see the flag hunting on the gate tower, the lights in the city were bright, and the cheers from the gate tower could be faintly heard.

He turned his head to a lieutenant next to him and asked, "Captain Liu, do you guess that the Annan Army dares to come out to fight?" ”

The lieutenant pondered for a moment and replied: "It is estimated that the enemy army still needs a stick of incense to prepare, and this challenge will be fruitless, and it can also roughly test the reaction time of the elite troops of the Annan Army." ”

"It won't take that long."

Zhu Rong shook his head.

The Ming Dynasty's expedition to Annam, after all, was a national war, and the Annam Army may not be anything to the Ming army, but in the south, it is indeed the existence of an invincible opponent who violently occupies the city and Linyi, which can be despised strategically, but it must be respected and valued tactically.

At this time, the gate of Jiling Pass had been opened, and a group of cavalry of the Annan Army rushed out of the gate building, crossed the moat and moat from the bridge, and rushed towards the outside of the city.

The cavalry of the Ming army outside the city also surged forward like a tide, and did not stop until a few hundred steps in front of the walled fort of the Annan army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

With the increasingly rapid drumbeat in the pass, the cavalry of the Annan Army quickly assembled, and they lined up in a dense formation, slowly moving towards the outside of the walled fort.

The Ming cavalry moved a little faster, they directly pulled up the reins, and the war horses under their crotches raised their hooves one after another, moving forward behind the large army.

"Sigh Rule~"

The neighing of war horses came and went, and a murderous aura filled the air.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer

The formation of the cavalry of the Ming army was relatively scattered, but the cavalry of the Annan army was lined up in a wedge-shaped formation, and maintained a very high degree of tacit understanding with each other, which mainly came from the training of the cavalry of the Annan army.

As we all know, Annan is not very rich in war horses.

And the shadow of land warfare brought by the Mongols is too deep, so over the years, Annan has vigorously developed cavalry, but the direction of development is different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and the cavalry of Annan is elite, that is to say, like Europe at this time, fighting on horseback can only be played by nobles and children of nobles.

The cavalry of the Annan Army are all carefully selected, the average age is generally not large, they are all aristocratic youths, and the families of these cavalrymen are either rich or noble, so these people can basically become officers as long as they join the army, and they are still the cavalry officers at the top of the chain of contempt in the Annan Army.

At the same time, because they are all well educated and trained, they also know how to cooperate.

In fact, don't look at the Ming Empire and the Timurid Empire at every turn, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of cavalry clusters, but in this era, cavalry is really definitely a very rare professional soldier, ordinary people can't afford to feed a horse, as the so-called poor and rich military, if you want to learn kung fu well, you have to eat enough, and in this era, most of the people are not enough to eat.

The cavalry that appeared on the battlefield like Annan was basically equivalent to the knight level in Europe at this time, and the cost of this kind of professional-level cavalry was very terrifying, and ordinary people couldn't afford it at all, but this batch of combat effectiveness was really good, because they were not short of money.

Both sides began to charge.

But to the surprise of the cavalry of Annan, the Ming army did not choose the traditional cavalry wedge formation in the end, but like the wolf pack tactics of the steppe nomads.

However, before the Annan cavalry could figure it out, the cavalry of the Ming army on the opposite side rounded a meteor hammer-like thing and threw it over.

"Bang! Boom."

Countless earth-shattering thunderbolts flew over and smashed into the middle of the dense formation of the cavalry of the Annan Army, causing a burst of smoke and explosions, and many soldiers of the Annan Army fell off their horses one after another.

Although the cavalry of Annam was well-trained, their tactics were not flexible, and they had little chance of competing with opponents of the same rank or stronger, which led to the fact that in such field encounters, once they did not match the training they received, it was easy to fall into confusion.

In addition, the cavalry of the Annam Army did not know how to dodge, and only cared about rushing forward, not thinking at all whether the flanks would be harassed by the enemy, if it was not for the not too wide terrain outside the pass, if the Mongols were replaced to fly kites, their cavalry would probably be killed.

However, the earth-shattering thunder was not the end, and when it was approaching fifty paces, the Ming cavalry took out new gadgets.

Well, under the guidance of Jiang Xinghuo, Guan Ning Iron Cavalry's signature weapon, the Three-Eyed Gun, has now successfully come out two hundred years ahead of schedule.

This thing is really not technically difficult, but as a cavalry weapon, it is indeed surprisingly easy to use, it can shoot three times at a distance, and can be used as a hammer when it is close.

And the cavalry of the Ming army led by Zhu Rong was obviously targeted, and each wave of volleys was aimed at the two flanks of the cavalry of the Annan army.

"Boom Boom"

The three-eyed gun frantically spat out lead bullets, and the dense lead bullets rained down on the cavalry of Annan like raindrops.

These noble cavalrymen of Annan who were usually extremely proud were stunned, they had never seen such powerful firearms! This immersive experience of becoming a Ming Army equipment quality inspector is simply hell!

Hu Lie, who was watching the battle on the city wall, was also stunned, it turned out that the Ming army's firearms were so fierce?

Look at the scrap copper and rotten iron inherited from the Mongols in your hands, which is also called firearms?

It's really a comparison of goods, and at this time, the people of Annam can't wait to smash these old antiques, and the saliva in their eyes is about to flow out when they look at the new firearms of the Ming army.

However, the aristocratic cavalry young masters who are fighting, only their brains can flow out at this time.

They lined up in a dense wedge-shaped formation, and were baptized by the earth-shaking thunder and the three-eyed gun in turn, and finally survived to close combat, and the Ming cavalry carried the three-eyed gun as a hammer and bone to use, and the spear and saber were served in turn.

These cavalry of the Annan Kingdom lost their organization and formation, even if the formation of the Ming army was more loose, how could they compete with these elite cavalry who had participated in the Battle of Jingjing?

You must know that although the main force of the Ming army conquering Annam, there are basically not many Yan troops, but this does not mean that there are no at all.

These cavalry who went out of the battle were all the personal guards of the generals, including both the Mongolian Tatar officials who had returned to the Shun, and the northern athletes who had serious Huhua, who had grown up on horseback since they were young and fierce and experienced in a hundred battles.

In a short time, the cavalry of Annam was routed and scattered and fled.

Seeing that in the fortress of the Annan army in front of Jiling Pass, the archers released arrows one after another to cover, and the cavalry of the Ming army did not chase deeply, and retreated with the captured heads.

Hu Lie and other generals of the Annan Kingdom watched the battle all the way in the city, and at this time they were deeply aware of the gap in combat effectiveness with the Ming army, and their faces were embarrassed and angry, and they did not mention it, in short, after this battle, after the initial confrontation between the two sides, Hu Lie made up his mind to stick to the help, just to defend the Jiling Pass, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Hu Yuancheng, the king of the guard.

But the Ming army did not give Hu Lie this opportunity, a daytime time, the armies took turns, first gnawed the fort in front of the Jiling Pass, the two sides were fighting bloodily for each fort, often the Ming army just conquered down, it was pushed back by the Annan new force, so that one day down, the Ming army will conquer two groups of plum blossom villages.

And the next day, the Ming army is to learn smart, changed the way of fighting, although the heavy artillery is ineffective against the wall, but the civil structure of the walled fort is still effective, after the heavy artillery washed the ground, the Ming army sent elite troops to seize the village, and once the new force of the Annan army came up, it immediately retreated, and it was a round of heavy artillery, the Annan army bombed people on their backs, it can be described as miserable.

In this way, the next day, the Ming army relied on this tactic to finally completely sweep away the small village in front of Jiling Pass, leaving only the last two or so stone fortresses built on the mountain range that were not overcome.

The next night, in front of the Ji Ling Pass.

"Brothers, follow me!"

Lu Yi, the Eagle Yang general in charge of the night attack, drew his sword and shouted in a low voice.

He raised his sword and rushed forward with hundreds of foot soldiers beside him.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of soldiers dressed in armor rolled towards Jiling Pass like a dark cloud of black oppression, although they were wearing heavy armor, but the speed of these people was not slow, and in an instant, there were only dozens of steps left from the fortresses on both sides of Jiling Pass.

"Archery!"

The defenders of the fortresses on both sides reacted in time, and they took out their bows and crossbows one after another, aiming at Lu Yi's troops.

"Shield cover!"

Lu Yi roared, then drew his horizontal knife and swung it forward, and in an instant, a row of large shield soldiers raised their shields and rushed forward, blocking the dense rain of arrows that were galloping.

The arrows landed on the shield, clanging and clanging.

The soldiers brought by Lu Yi were all wearing full-body armor, similar to the infantry armor of the Song army, and their defensive power was very strong, even if there were arrows that the big shield could not completely block, they did not cause any damage, so it can be said that the defenders' round of arrow rain did not hurt them at all.

Soon, Lu Yi's troops arrived under the fortress, and they began to fill in the trenches and try to assault.

There are also crossbowmen in the back row who raise their military crossbows and aim them at the enemy's crossbowmen, aiming and shooting.

Because it was night, the launch of the arquebus would bring a huge amount of light, so the Ming army did not choose to let the arquebus hand go into battle.

"Whew!"

Of course, the Ming army had marksmen, or the kind of thieves who looked good at night, and quickly killed the defenders on the outer wall of the fortress.

Lu Yi was full of courage and led people to break through the camp wall and enter the fortress.

There was chaos inside the fortress.

"Quick, go and report to General Hu Lie!"

Hu Lie was resting in the house in Guancheng, when he suddenly heard the noise outside and couldn't help but open his eyes.

"Someone!"

Hu Lie got up in his cloak and commanded: "Give me armor." ”

After the armor was finished, Hu Lie came to the outer hall and saw that the lieutenants were already waiting, and he couldn't help asking, "What happened outside?" ”

The adjutant replied: "The enemy has raided the stone barricades on both sides, and the defenders are already asking for help." ”

Hu Lie's eyes suddenly widened slightly: "The Ming army really dares to fight at night? Such a close group of stone barriers, even if they take it, they are destined to be unable to hold it at this time. ”

Of course, what Hu Lie said was right, because the stone base group was too close to Jiling Pass, and it was very convenient for the defenders to go out to support from the small gate, and the Ming army could not completely occupy part of it, even if it persisted until dawn, the long-range projection on the wall of Jiling Pass could still suppress the Ming army to the death, and then send troops to recapture it.

However, once the stone fortresses on both sides are broken through by the enemy, it means that the flanks of the Annan army have lost their barriers, and if they can't react as soon as possible, the Ming army may be pressed on a large scale.

Therefore, Hu Lie did not hesitate, and immediately sent troops to reinforce and drive the Ming army out.

To tell the truth, the Ming army's lifeless fighting style and fierce offensive really scared Hu Lie in the past two days.

The plum blossom village on the periphery was completely bulldozed after only two days, and this speed made Hu Lie not only doubt whether he could hold out until the arrival of Hu Yuancheng's reinforcements.

But in the next moment, Hu Lie understood that this was just his excessive worry.

After all, Jiling Pass is Xiongguan, and he has so many soldiers and horses under his command, even if the outlying strongholds are lost, it is actually nothing.

This kind of Xiongguan, that is, the real consumption of months or even years by the two armies, is actually an ordinary thing.

How can there be a reason to lose it in a few days?

Sure enough, as Hu Lie expected, the Ming army was repulsed after a short time.

However, the Ming army was quite a bit of perseverance, Hu Lie had just taken off his armor, and he didn't stare for a while, when the Ming army came to attack at night, and so on and so on, he couldn't sleep all night.

"Zhang Fu, do you only have this little bit of means to exhaust the enemy?"

Hu Lie, who was not angry when he got up, stared at the panda and yelled at the gate.

However, what Hu Lie didn't know at this time was that a large number of Ming troops were sweating and burying their heads in one thing.

- Dig tunnels.

Zhang Fu is not a brainless person, it can be seen from his previous tactics of conquering the slope and leaving two levels, either detour or fraud.

At this time, Jiling Pass was obviously difficult to conquer head-on, and Zhang Fu's idea was to fight on other methods.

To be honest, in China, digging tunnels is indeed not an advanced tactic, there are successes, but there are also many failures, such as Zhuge Liang beating Chen Cang, Gao Huan fighting jade, regardless of whether it is Wuhou or Gao Wang, in the face of the enemy's big urn listening and anti-digging tunnel interception, arson and smoke and other means, there is no good way.

However, the tunnel dug by Zhang Fu this time is still different from the predecessors, and it is a bit similar to the siege tactics of the Mongols.

In the past, the siege tactics of the cave were mainly to hollow out the city under the city wall, and then destroy the supports to form a collapse effect, but Zhang Fu now does not plan to dig up the Xiongguan such as Jiling Pass, but plans to directly bury explosives and send the Annan army to the sky, the physical kind.

Compared with the Mongols, the explosives of the Ming army were developed under the guidance of explosives expert Jiang Xinghuo, which not only has many tricks and power, but also has enough!

And the reason why the Ming army was so tirelessly attacking Jiling Pass in turns, and deliberately made the movement quite big, was naturally to cover the movement of digging tunnels below.

On the third day, the Ming army attacked the city in a big way.

The Ming army dispatched a full 4,000 people, which is already the limit of the number of troops that can be put on the battlefield, and among them, there are fifteen hundred households of heavy infantry wearing armor all over their bodies, and the rest are all light infantry wearing cowhide armor, and they carry sandbags, ladders and other tools.

Moreover, in addition to these simple siege tools, the Ming army also carried out other equipment built in the past few days.

Rushing cars, moving arrow towers, skin shield cars. There are all kinds of things, only the Annan army can't think of it, and there is no Ming army that hasn't made it.

When it comes to siege, the Huaxia army is at the level of an ancestor!

The Ming army adopted the tactics of steady advance, with crossbowmen shooting arrows at the perimeter to harass and cover the infantry, while the light and heavy infantry, under the command of officers of all ranks, advanced the siege equipment near the stone fortress in front of the Jiling Pass, and then launched a fierce attack.

Hu Lie's face was very solemn, he stood at the edge of the battlement, observed for a moment, and immediately made adjustments.

"Pass the order, let the heavy infantry take the initiative to fight, we must hold it!"

The stone fortress on both sides and the middle of the Jiling Pass are connected by a small gate, and at this time, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses hoarded in the Jiling Pass, and the lack is not people, so it is natural to choose to take the initiative to lean against the fortress and the camp wall, and fight with the Ming army in the field, and delay time by confronting the Ming army against consumption, rather than holding the fortress.

The actions of the Annam army were immediately discovered by the Ming army's scouts.

Seeing this, Zhu Rong, the hussar general who was in charge of the front command, hurriedly shouted: "Ask Lao Liu, where is the damn general cannon?"

With the order of the flag, not long after, a dense burst of shells flew out from the rear of the Ming camp, not accurate, but also shot in front of the stone fortress in a general range, and suddenly, the heavy infantry of Annan who came out to meet the battle fell a group of people, and many people were wounded.

Heavy infantry is clothed in armor and is basically immune to slashing and arrows, but this thing doesn't mean that it can be used as a solid cannonball!

Although Yuan Dudu's "invincible for more than ten miles with one cannon" at the end of the Ming Dynasty is a bit exaggerated, the heavy infantry of the Annan Army is obviously no more resistant than the Jurchen heavy infantry of the Later Jin Army.

The Annan army was also ruthless, and the bed crossbows and bows at the head of the city began to shoot as if they didn't need money.

"Open your bow and release your arrows!"

Suddenly, the sound of bowstrings and feather arrows breaking through the air on the position of the Annan army suddenly exploded.

One arrow after another pierced the sky and shot towards the Ming army, and the dense rain of arrows covered the front army of the Ming army.

"Puff Puff"

Screams continued to sound among the troops of the Ming army filling the trenches, and blood splattered.

However, the Ming army still insisted on completing the trench filling, and taking this opportunity, most of the Ming soldiers raised their shields and began to press in the direction of Jiling Pass.

At the same time, Zhang Fu couldn't hold back his anxious mood and was urging questions one after another.

"Is the explosives planted?"

The person in charge of supervising this work was Ye Zongxing, a blaster who was brought to the front line by Huang Fu as an official of the Ministry of Works.

Ye Xiucai blew up I don't know how many dams and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the directional blasting technology he learned from Jiang Xinghuo was already perfect, so it was naturally not a problem to blow up the wall.

However, at this time, Ye Zongxing's face was also a little anxious, and he said to Zhang Fu: "The amount of explosives needed is too much, and it is still being buried in it, and it will take time for people to withdraw!" ”

Zhang Fu's face was pale.

"I don't want a reason, I just want Ji Lingguan! How long?! ”

"Half an hour!"

"Good! I'll wait for you! ”

Zhang Fu said that, he walked out of the camp directly and took his personal guards forward to command.

Breaking three levels in three days, I, Zhang Fuding, let the world know that the tiger father has no dogs!
