[Chapter 320 The Battle of the Three Armies]
“Hurry up!”
Guan Nancheng.
Soldiers from the palace kept pouring in from the gap in the city wall.
Guan Tong, who was guarding the gap, kept urging the soldiers to join the battle.
at the same time.
The artillerymen also pushed over the lightest field guns.
Together the soldiers carried the field guns through the gap.
“Change grape shells.” The field artillery fell to the ground, and the artillery general gave the order immediately.
In front of them, soldiers with flintlock guns were advancing, and the sound of “bang bang bang” continued to sound.
The goal of the heavy infantry is very simple, which is to occupy the city gate.
After crossing the gap, they used their solid armor to fight among the Xiliang soldiers, bracing the Xiliang soldiers’ swords and slashing.
As more and more soldiers with flintlock guns poured into the city.
The Xiliang soldiers were gradually struggling to hold on. Under the powerful firepower, they often lost 30 to 40% of the soldiers before they could rush to the soldiers of the palace.
“Boom boom boom…”
After the artillerymen found their positions, they fired.
The grape bullets flew towards the Xiliang soldiers pouring in from the city, killing seven or eight of them in one shot.
“Give it to me, give it to me!” Qu Dan had already run down from under the city wall.
He escaped from the southern wall, hiding behind the soldiers to give orders.
It’s just that despite his hysterical yelling, more and more Xiliang soldiers fled back from the front.
For them, this is not fighting at all, it is death.
Their companions were often killed by the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the King of Yan before they rushed to the soldiers of the King of Yan.
What’s more frightening is that the armor on their bodies has no effect on that kind of weapon, and if they are hit, they will not die but will be injured.
“Don’t run away, charge!” Qu Dan yelled, with a sharp sword in his hand, he would kill any soldiers who escaped from him.
But there were too many soldiers who fled back, and he couldn’t kill them all.
“Ah…”
Just as he swung his sword to kill the deserter, he suddenly heard several screams.
Turning his head, he found four soldiers lying on the ground in a miserable state of death.
One’s head was directly beaten off.
Seeing this scene, he tremblingly looked towards the south.
At this time, the walls of the south gate were full of soldiers of King Yan.
At the location of the gap, soldiers are dragging a cannon with a rope.
And there is already a cannon next to it.
He immediately felt a chill in his heart.
This realized that the artillery was not hitting these soldiers, but him!
Thinking of this, he immediately fled to the galloped horse.
He didn’t want to die under artillery fire.
“Kill!”
Nancheng Gate.
Under the protection of the heavy infantry, Chang Wei became red-eyed.
Since he was in charge of the royal family’s army, he hasn’t personally fought on the battlefield for a long time.
But today, in such a critical situation in Tongguan, he can’t control so much.
Wearing the heavy armor custom-made by the Bing Zhansi, his figure is even taller.
The long sword in his hand waved with a strong wind.
Soldiers in Xiliang were often beheaded and fell down after they could not walk for three rounds under his command.
Under his leadership, the morale of the heavy infantry reached its peak.
Many heavy infantrymen completely ignored the Xiliang soldiers’ swords and slashed with their swords.
Even the heavy infantry threw down their swords, grabbed the Xiliang soldiers and punched them in the face with armor-protected hands.
A soldier wearing plate armor is covered by armor all over his body, as well as his hands and feet.
In order to facilitate killing the enemy, the armor on their hands also has conical spikes.
With clenched fists, the spikes protrude even more.
Often with one punch, the Xiliang soldiers lost their combat effectiveness.
There were also some strong heavy infantry who sprinted directly at the Xiliang soldiers.
Xiliang soldiers who got together often fell a small piece.
At this time, the heavy infantry following behind took advantage of the situation and slashed past.
Under the fierce offensive of the heavy infantry, the Xiliang soldiers at the gate of the city were frightened, retreated steadily, and finally fled in all directions.
At this time, Chang Wei’s armor was stained red with blood.
Looking at the soldiers of the palace who were still fighting with Xiliang soldiers in other places, he shouted: “Remove the sandbags and let the army enter the city.”
After receiving the order, some soldiers formed an formation at the city gate to prevent the Xiliang soldiers from coming.
At the same time, another group of soldiers carried sandbags on their backs.
In less than half an hour, the sandbags were emptied.
At this time, part of the soldiers who entered the city through the gap immediately entered through the main gate.
The eight-jin and twelve-jin heavy artillery that stayed outside the city were also pushed in by the artillery.
More and more royal soldiers entered the city.
The fusiliers gradually formed a large horizontal team from east to west of the city.
The artillery is in the gap in the middle of the line.
They marched and shot.
“Bang bang bang…”
Under the firepower of the entire line, Xiliang soldiers suffered heavy casualties and fled to the north of the city.
The palace soldiers continued to move forward.
At this moment, Qu Dan had already arrived at the north gate, looking at the Xiliang soldiers who were completely in chaos, he closed his eyes in despair.
The confusion meant that orders from generals would no longer be passed on to soldiers in a timely manner.
Soldiers who have lost their command are just loose sand on the battlefield and cannot fight.
“Run.”
“Run for your life.”
“…” The
scattered Xiliang soldiers crowded at the north gate.
At this time, a group of rout soldiers took down the crossbar behind the city gate and opened the city gate.
When Xiliang soldiers saw the city gate opened, they rushed out from the city gate immediately.
Under the instinct of survival, they no longer care about military orders.
However, just as they rushed out of the city gate, they heard the ground seemed to be shaking.
Looking northwest, they saw a black line moving here.
Some Xiliang generals were overjoyed, they shouted: “Go back, our reinforcements have arrived.”
But when the cavalry gradually entered, their expressions suddenly changed.
They recognized it, it was not from Xiliang.
Although the cavalry had whips hanging from their ears, they had hair on the front of their heads.
Unlike Xiliang people who have no hair in front, they can be distinguished even if they are far away.
“People from Beidi.” They suddenly remembered.
The Beidi cavalry came very quickly, and arrived at Tongguan in a quarter of an hour.
When the Xiliang soldiers were at a loss, suddenly a young man rode out.
“Where is Qu Dan? Immediately welcome Beidi’s army into the city. From now on, this will be Beidi’s pass.” Murong Wen shouted.
“His Royal Highness.” A general recognized Murong Wen and immediately knelt down on one knee.
One of the generals said: “Your Highness, the Nancheng was captured by King Yan’s army. Now our people have been killed and defeated. We are all scattered, and the deputy leader is nowhere.”
“What! King Yan’s army invaded the same city Close!”
Murong Wen and Tie Muta exclaimed at the same time.
Thinking that Tongguan would soon be occupied by King Yan’s troops, he immediately said to the generals around him, “Enter the city quickly and occupy the gate.
”
But Xiliang’s broken soldiers kept pouring out from the city gate, blocking their way forward. Murong Wenze the
Xiliang general said sharply: “You go back immediately, otherwise you will beheaded immediately!” The sound of gunfire in the city was getting closer and closer, and it became more and more anxious. He said to the wolves: “Kill these Xiliang soldiers, and open the way.” After the order, the wolves shouted at the cavalry behind them, drew their sabers and rushed towards the Xiliang soldiers.
