total war broken

Chapter 557
Bang bang bang————The roar of the artillery was Zhang Xianzhong's gunner. One of his artillery roared one after another. The huge pass of Tongguan showed his most vulnerable side in the sound of the Western Army's artillery.The artillery of the Great Western Army are all small-caliber Frankie, and there are not many large-caliber artillery. Although they are not good artillery, they are mostly in number. More than 300 artillery pieces are all Zhang Xianzhong’s property, as well as his The most important adopted son, Li Dingguo, was sent to the front line at this moment to command this extremely important battle to capture Tongguan!

The front line was now raging with smoke and fire. Although Zhang Xianzhong's huge artillery was of small caliber, it was better in numbers and the quality of the gunners. Li Dingguo looked behind him. He was very satisfied. The quality of these gunners was good. He trained carefully, but there were no large-caliber artillery, which was a pity. The cannons were spraying with flames, and the ground was like a drum that was being beaten continuously.

The projectiles drew thin lines in the air, and shot fiercely at the Ming army on the city wall. The precarious Tongguan was under the baptism of the rogue fire. Is this a bandit?" First Li Zicheng, who was as indistinguishable from an officer as an army, and now Zhang Xianzhong, who has such a sharp weapon?Although his artillery group is not large in caliber and there are no good goods, but the number is too much, right?Where did he find this amount of artillery?

Compared with the normal second-rate Ming army's vassals and towns, they are much stronger, but because of the corrupt politics and deceitful artisan and household banking system, the Ming army does not have sharp firearms, and these thieves have sharper firearms instead. Rockets, artillery, and dense shooting were fired at the top of Tongguan City. Without the protection of Xuanhu, a weapon that shoots arrows, staying at the top of the city is a very dangerous thing, and it is easy to be shot like a hedgehog.

Puchi——The rocket hit the Ming army's chest, and he let out a sharp scream and fell down the city wall. With a bang, he turned into pieces of meat on the ground. Fear and panic spread around the officers and soldiers guarding the city. Among them, there were hundreds of Qingzhou troops, and the rest were the Ming army mobilized by the lieutenant general. The Qingzhou army felt a little helpless at the head of the city. There were too many enemies, and the comrades-in-arms seemed to be here to add chaos.

They were terrified, "Aren't they really the Shenji Battalion from the capital to attack us? These are thieves?" They suspected that they were attacked by the Ming army. It was rushing to the front line, and the rockets and firecrackers also focused their fire on these Qingzhou troops.

Archers, the newly recruited family archers also focused their fire on them. Liu Zongmin stood at the front and said, "Aim at those Qingzhou soldiers. Do you see those who wear armor? Whoever can fight is the Qingzhou soldiers. Bows and arrows Just aim at them all, leave the others alone, and wipe out the Qingzhou army first," he shouted, with a sense of urgency in his heart.

Li Zicheng behind him had a kind of indifference in his eyes. He looked at the city with no joy in his heart. Zhang Xianzhong grew up too fast. How did this artilleryman grow up?A flash of jealousy flashed across his face as he looked at Zhang Xianzhong's firearms troops, especially Li Dingguo. This general was easy to get for thousands of armies, but hard to find just one general. Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, were among the best among men. On the other hand, he had many men under his command. Li Yan was able to stand on his own, which was much worse.

"General Li, the Qingzhou army is really tenacious. At this time, they can still order you." Li Zicheng looked at the city wall with a puzzled look in his eyes. With such powerful firepower, the general Ming army would have collapsed long ago. This group of Qingzhou army is indeed Relying on his fighting skills, he dodged against various bunkers while fighting back on the top of the city.

A group of Qingzhou troops did not have such things as hanging houses, so they used wall stacks or various bunkers on the city walls to hide behind them, blocking rockets, bows and arrows, or firecrackers, and then suddenly fired back, with several people working in groups. This superb fighting technique made all the intruders below look dumbfounded.

"Elite, elite, Qingzhou Army, under such circumstances, they can still defend and counterattack!" Li Zicheng had a strange look in his eyes, and Li Dingguo's face was not very good-looking, "Without a suspended household, you can consciously rely on bunkers or even wall stacks , Forming a small team to defend and counterattack is really amazing, if it is an ordinary Ming army, it would have been shot to death by bows and arrows!"

A group of people didn't speak, and they still couldn't attack the city with such firepower. There is another siege technique!" He waved his hand, and suddenly one by one bed crossbows were pushed up.

"Oh, the Great Western Army is good at bows and crossbows," Li Zicheng said. The Great Western Army has strong bows and crossbows. He has heard about them for a long time. His army has the support of some families from all over Sichuan who are good at bows and crossbows. Bow and crossbow.

Whoosh, whoosh, the crossbow bolts were shot out, and soon they were nailed to the city wall. The secret numb crossbow arrows, from the bottom to the top of the city wall, a group of Yi soldiers carried their shields and attacked them. Shouting, the climber's crossbow climbed up, moving extremely quickly, like a gecko, shooting arrows down from the top of the city.

"Yi soldiers!" Li Zicheng muttered, with a kind of envy in his eyes, "I heard that the Yi soldiers are elite, they are really powerful." He watched these Yi soldiers charge up!At the top of the city, they were shocked that they could compete with the Qingzhou Army. This method of climbing crossbows quickly transported a large number of soldiers and horses to the top of the city.

Wang Youcai's complexion changed, this way soon a large number of Yi soldiers rushed up, they were holding rattan waist knives, spears, extremely fierce, he was hard to resist, bang bang bang—— There was a sound of clashing iron armor, and the subordinates were beaten more and more by the Yi soldiers, but they were almost unable to hold on.

"General, retreat quickly, I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand it anymore," said the deputy general beside him, "there are too many Yi soldiers." His face was bloody, and Wang Youcai snorted, "Oh! Guanzhong is a dead end!~" He Shaking his head, he went down the city wall. "And Zuo Liangyu, is he a tortoise~ he crawls so slowly, he's mistaken me, mistaken me!"

The Ming army retreated while fighting, and the Yi soldiers could not take advantage of it, but suffered a lot of losses. They did not dare to go up and pursue it. The Ming army's sun and moon flag was pulled from the top of the city and replaced with the flag of the Western army/
Li Zicheng's face was ugly, the flag of the Western Army was not the flag of the Chuangjun Army, but he didn't say anything, his face was full of joy, and said, "Okay, okay, we finally won Tongguan! It's so safe and secure in the pass!"

"Yeah!" Li Dingguo turned his head and looked at the calm Li Zicheng, with a strange look in his eyes!I didn't expect the other party to be so calm.He clasped his fists and said, "Below Tongguan, King Chuang, Guanzhong belongs to you, and Sichuan belongs to my adoptive father!" shine.
