When the Tiger Crouching Cannon was fired, large and small shells flew together, which was particularly suitable for attacking dense enemy troops. The Dali army was unprepared and received the first salvo of the Ming army with its face.
With the pop of lead shot hitting the city wall, the Dali soldiers at the top of the city fell one by one like wheat cut by a sickle. The screams immediately echoed through the top of Xiaguan City.
Those soldiers who had not been shot heard the screams around them and quickly turned around to see that the ground was already covered with shot comrades. Some were directly killed by lead pellets, and their brains were spattered.
All over the place. But most of them were just injured, clutching their wounds with gurgling blood, screaming and writhing on the ground in pain.
At this time, the soldiers with all beards and tails were also frightened. They all threw away the stones and lay on the ground. They were kicked, beaten and cursed, but they refused to show their bodies again.
Because the officers who scolded them were all lying down...
In fact, the second firing of the Crouching Tiger Cannon takes quite a long time. In addition to normal loading, the gun body must be reset, the angle readjusted, and the muzzle padded with wood chips.
Even a well-trained gunner still needs half a cup of tea. The defenders had enough time to continue fighting between cannon fires. However, when the Dali people saw this scene for the first time, they were all frightened and asked the Ming army to set up
After building the pontoon bridge, we carried the ladder and crossed the Erhe River.
As one ladder after another climbed up the city, the Dali army woke up from a dream and realized that if they didn't stand up and fight back, they would be attacked by the Ming army.
They hurriedly climbed up holding the stones and threw them crazily towards the ladder. Stones the size of watermelons fell like raindrops, smashing the heads of the Ming soldiers on the ladder and bleeding. They rolled down the ladder screaming and threw the ladder
The comrade below was also knocked down.
The Dali army also had weapons similar to poles, which could be pushed down the ladder to prevent the Ming army from ascending the city. Even the powerful Ming army was still locked in a bitter fight at this time. The soldiers on the ladder kept screaming and falling. Occasionally,
The soldiers rushed to the top of the city, but fell into a situation where they were outnumbered and were knocked to the ground by the spears of the Dali army.
But the Ming army still showed no signs of fading. Those in front fell down, while the soldiers behind continued to climb quickly. They were an iron army that was victorious and would never be intimidated by sacrifice.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army knew very well that as long as one unit attacks and gains a firm foothold, the situation will be reversed! But there are too many defenders and they are united, so it is not something you can defeat if you are firm enough in your beliefs.
Both sides were red-eyed. One party tried their best to climb the city, while the other tried desperately to stop them. The shouts of killing echoed in Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, making the wind, flowers, snow and moon lose their color...
~~
The Crouching Tiger Artillery stopped roaring after the siege started, spraying a large area with shotgun shells. If it fired again at this time, it would hurt more of our own people than the enemy's, so we had to shut up.
Yu Min's attention has been transferred to the city. Although he is no longer a new soldier on the battlefield and has experienced fierce battles like Baishijiang, he was still shocked by the brutality of the siege battle in front of him.
Seeing those veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles and were extremely skilled, falling like dumplings under the city, he thought to himself that he might not be so lucky to survive this time.
But he has learned how to get along with fear, that is to muster up all the courage to defeat the enemy in front of him!
"It's our turn!" At this time, Deputy Liu Qianhu, who was acting as Qianhu, shouted loudly.
The soldiers responded with a roar, formed siege formations with small flags as units, followed Deputy Liu Qianhu across the pontoon bridge, arrived at the foot of Guancheng covered with blood and corpses, and began to climb the ladder in an orderly manner.
When it was Yu Min's turn, he found that the ladder was covered in blood and was slimy to the touch. Without having time to think about it, he started climbing with his hands and feet.
The comrades above and to the left and right kept screaming and falling. Yu Min was extremely frightened and her movements were extremely agile.
While crawling, he was suddenly surprised to find that the screams around him stopped suddenly, and no comrades fell...
This was a good thing anyway. Without any time to think about it, Yu Min took the opportunity and climbed up to the top of the city with his colleagues, and saw that the Dali army on the city was already in chaos.
What caused the chaos was the 5,000 picks who came down from the Xianyang Peak behind them!
The Dali army was unprepared, and was in chaos for a while. Even the soldiers who were blocking the enemy on the front line of the city couldn't help but turn around to see what was going on.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. You will see that the Ming army from the brigade is like a magic weapon descending from the sky, suddenly appearing behind you and directly destroying the friendly troops behind you.
When they turned back, they were shocked even more - just as they turned around, the Ming army had already seized this fleeting opportunity and quickly rushed to the city!
On the ever-changing battlefield, how can they be allowed to collectively lose focus?
Against the experienced Ming army, as long as you reveal any flaws, you will definitely be caught and then completely killed!
Yu Min also followed Niu Zongqi and successfully climbed to the top, then grabbed the arrow stack and jumped onto the city wall. When he was in mid-air, he pulled out the knife stuck on his back and volleyed towards the Dali army besieging Niu Zongqi.
Hack away!
Before the Dali soldier could react, he chopped off most of his neck. Blood spurted out, and his head flew in the opposite direction, but was connected to the other side of his neck by flesh and blood, and finally hung down strangely...
Before they could feel the fear, Yu Min landed on the ground again and used the rolling knife technique that Qi Qianhu taught them. He rolled like a lazy donkey and cut off the calves of several enemy soldiers. The last move was the carp kick and he stood up straight.
The only fly in the ointment is that when he got up, he should have faced the enemy head-on, but instead he faced Niu Zongqi.
Niu Zongqi pulled him behind him and blocked the enemy's spear with his knife. He didn't care to laugh at him and said urgently: "Form up!"
Yu Min quickly stood slightly to the left behind Niu Zongqi, blocking the incoming enemy from the left for him. Another soldier stood on the right side of Niu Zongqi, and the three formed a three-talent formation. With the offense and defense facing each other, survivability
Greatly improve.
Under the cover of the three men, more and more soldiers rushed forward, and their formation became more and more dense. Now not only was the defense okay, but they could also start a step-by-step counterattack.
Under the leadership of General Niu, the soldiers advanced step by step to clear out the garrison at the top of the city for their comrades who were ascending the city behind.
As the Ming army surged onto the city wall, the Dali army continued to be defeated. Entire sections of the city wall were lost, and eventually even the gate tower was lost.
A strong Ming soldier rushed into the city gate tower, picked up the hammer placed next to the turntable, smashed the pin with a heavy hammer, and the turntable began to rotate rapidly.
With a clicking sound, the suspension bridge slowly lowered and landed on the Erhe River.
The main force of the Ming army on the other side of the river cheered and rushed into the open city gate of Xiaguan.
Longwei Pass, a dangerous pass that was said to have never been conquered since its completion, did not even last for half a day before it fell.
