Chapter five hundred and seventy-third The Great Wall
"Defend the enemy! Defend the enemy!"
When Cheng Mu led his army to Juyong Pass, the pass was under full martial law.
"It's really majestic!"
Looking at the city wall, which was even more majestic than the giant city, Cheng Mu couldn't help but admire it heartily.
Not only the city wall, but also a checkpoint in Juyong is majestic and amazing.
The wall is fifty or sixty meters high, which is not something ordinary humans can cross.
Moreover, after the Great Wall was put under full martial law, the wall began to glow with a hazy golden light!
Cheng Mu knew that this was the special defensive effect of the city wall!
"Your Majesty, I will go and tear down this broken wall right now!"
At this time, Zhang Wanlong took the initiative to ask for help.
In his eyes, it is just a taller and thicker city wall that can be demolished.
"Be careful!"
Cheng Mu nodded.
Anyway, Zhang Wanlong has a thick skin, so just give it a try.
Di Ri stood below with a look of remorse. He originally wanted to invite Ying to fight, but he didn't expect that Zhang Wanlong would beat him to it.
"Haha! Soldiers, charge at me!"
Zhang Wanlong drew his long sword and rushed to the front.
With his current top level strength, it is not difficult to tear down walls with bare hands.
"Come on!"
In an instant, 10,000 Tianxiong Army officers followed and rushed forward!
For the first trial battle, 10,000 people are enough.
"Fire the gun! Fire the gun!"
At Juyong Pass, Zeng Guofan commanded his subordinates to fight.
After Nurhaci ascended the throne, he and the Hunan army under his command were sent over.
When fighting Li Jing, Zeng Guopan did not use all his strength. So this time, he had to bleed.
Boom! Boom!
Heavy artillery sounded.
When the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army had just rushed to two kilometers away from the Great Wall, huge artillery shells had already flown over.
In an instant, several Tianxiong Army soldiers who were rushing at the front were knocked away in an instant.
The huge impact killed them before they even hit the ground!
"His milk! Why is it so far away?!"
The sudden attack instantly disrupted Zhang Wanlong's attack pace.
Generally speaking, the effective range of ordinary artillery at this stage is only about 500 meters. However, with the improvement of Tina, the effective range of Apocalypse Kingdom's artillery can reach one kilometer.
But now, the artillery of the Qing Empire can actually attack itself two kilometers away?
A bit outrageous!
Boom!
However, Zeng Guopan did not give Zhang Wanlong much time to be surprised.
After the first artillery shell arrived, dozens of other artillery shells also flew over instantly.
Among them, the target of several cannonballs was Zhang Wanlong!
"Damn it!"
In the dilemma, Zhang Wanlong could only hide sideways.
He can actually defend himself.
But once he displays the shield to control the sky, it means that the siege operation will be over before the enemy is touched.
A distance of two kilometers and a wall height of fifty or sixty meters.
Even Zhang Wanlong himself can't fly up!
Bang bang bang!
Zhang Wanlong dodged, but several Tianlong Army soldiers behind him did not.
Even if they raise their shields.
But the huge impact still knocked them away.
That extremely thick shield that could withstand swords instantly shattered in front of the cannonballs!
For a time, the Tianxiong army suffered heavy casualties!
"Let the soldiers withdraw!"
Cheng Mu issued the order.
Although the attack failed, the mission of detecting the enemy's situation was completed.
This Great Wall was more majestic than he imagined. It was even harder to chew!
He could clearly see that the artillery that was so powerful at Juyongguan was the most powerful artillery in the Qing Empire.
General Yaowei!
General Yaowei weighs 10,000 kilograms, and the attack power of his cannonballs is equivalent to a full-strength strike from a top powerhouse!
If it were an ordinary city wall, General Yaowei could penetrate it with one shot.
In the past, Cheng Mu had only seen pictures of General Yaowei in books, but he didn't expect to see his true form now!
"Your Majesty! The general will be guilty!"
Zhang Wanlong withdrew, his face full of shame.
We lost nearly a thousand soldiers before we even touched the enemy. What a shame!
Although the number of nearly a thousand is small before such big numbers as hundreds of thousands and millions.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Tianxiong Army are princely-level arms among the special arms, and currently most of the officers and soldiers have reached the second-rate level.
Nearly a thousand second-rate strong men died in an instant. If this were compared to other armies of other countries, it would mean the entire army of mid-level generals was wiped out!
"Nothing! Get up!"
Cheng Mu did not blame Zhang Wanlong.
The attack of Yaowei's general cannon is equivalent to a full-strength strike from a top powerhouse. If the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army are not fully prepared for defense, they will definitely not be able to stop it.
After all, no matter how strong the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army are, they only have second-rate strength and are still made of flesh and blood!
"Your Majesty! Let Chu Ying come in!"
At this time, Zhang Wanlong spoke again: "Doesn't he still have millions of soldiers under his command?"
"As long as this group of surrender troops rush to the front, the general can charge forward!"
He needs someone to help him attract firepower and wash away this shame!
"Huh? Do you want the soldiers with the blue flag to be cannon fodder for you? To attract enemy firepower?"
Cheng Mu showed a displeased expression for a moment, and said coldly: "In this case, then retreat and wait for orders!"
Millions of soldiers with blue flags have surrendered. They are a group of our own people.
Chu Ying will rebel, but these blue flag soldiers will not.
But now Zhang Wanlong wanted to drag him to be cannon fodder, but Cheng Mu was the first to refuse.
Since there is a Yaowei General Cannon at Juyong Pass, can't he change the pass?
The Yaowei General Cannon is indeed powerful, but it has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot move.
Rather than saying it is an artillery piece, it is better to say it is a fort!
"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
Zhang Wanlong instantly understood that he had said the wrong thing.
He quickly admitted his mistake.
You finally got an opportunity to make a great contribution. If you were replaced now, wouldn't it be even more impossible to wash away the shame?
"Get off!"
Cheng Mu kicked him out.
Zhang Wanlong is loyal, there is no doubt about this.
But as the war continued, Cheng Mu found that the soldiers under his command had developed a arrogant mentality.
This is caused by winning battles over a long period of time.
The arrogant mentality makes Zhang Wanlong and others feel that they are very powerful and look down on everyone else.
This is a very fatal signal, so Cheng Mu must kill it immediately.
If the 800,000 soldiers of the Apocalypse Army could get rid of their arrogance with tens of thousands of casualties, it would be much better than being defeated one day because of arrogance!
"Sir, let me go!"
At this time, Hua Mulan stepped forward and introduced herself.
After serving as Cheng Mu's personal guard for so long, she commanded three thousand Iron Buddha soldiers.
Although Tiefutu has participated in fewer battles, it is the most powerful!
"I know your battle ideas, but it doesn't work."
Cheng Mu shook his head.
He knew that Hua Mulan wanted to use the Death Bloom to absorb the attack energy of the cannonball, and then release it to defeat Juyong Pass in one fell swoop.
But the reality is not like this.
If the Great Wall can be blown away so easily by a big move, then it is not the Great Wall!
Cheng Mu explained: "Do you see the golden light lingering on the city wall?"
"That is a characteristic of the Great Wall, it can be immune to all forms of ultimate attack!"
If the ultimate move worked, he would take the first shot himself.
"General Guan Hai and the others can't do it either?"
Hua Mulan felt incredible after hearing this. If the Great Wall was so strong, wouldn't the Qing Empire be invincible?
"Um."
Cheng Mu nodded: "Ultimate moves of any form or level will not work."
This is what Guan Hai said to him personally after sensing it.
It is impossible for Guan Hai to lie to others.
"but!"
He explained: "Although we can't break the city wall, we can find another way!"
