Chapter 322 Urgent
"General, look!"
In the dazzling sunlight at noon, Chang Wei held up a monocular lens and observed the pass through the city wall.
He was surrounded by generals such as Guantong, Liu Tan, and Bai Shang.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang in the pass, led by Qu Dan, the deputy leader, all gathered in the southern city.
All kinds of defensive materials were also continuously transported to the city walls.
Standing on the city wall, Qu Dan looked at the Yan King's army under the city, and his heart beat faster.
Some time ago, the army of King Yan flew a fake shot under the Tongguan Pass, and he was also so worried at that time.
Later, the news he got was that Jincheng was lost and Murong Wuji died in battle.
He immediately passed the news back to Xiliang.
Afterwards, bad news came one by one, and the cities in northern Jinzhou were taken down by the Yan King's army within a few days.
Now, they finally came to the Tongguan.
"The reinforcements from Beidi will arrive soon, I will hold on to Tong Pass and will be rewarded afterwards." Qu Dan shouted loudly.
The soldiers of Xiliang roared when they heard this.
But it was more like to be brave enough for themselves. They fought with the Dasong army in Jinzhou for twenty years, but Dasong did not defeat them for twenty years.
But the King of Yan completely defeated them in a very short time.
It is impossible to say that they are not afraid.
As the soldiers shouted, Qu Dan's eyelids twitched.
The army of King Yan stationed at a distance of only three hundred meters away from them.
Then more than a hundred weapons similar to muskets were pushed to the front of the team. Just a glance, his legs trembled a little.
"Architecture." Qu Dan couldn't help but murmur.
He heard this terrible weapon too many times from the collapsed Xiliang soldiers.
When they were hit, the people and horses were shattered, and the walls of Jincheng were bombarded by artillery.
Although the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall were called fiercely, they were as scared as Qu Dan.
They stared at the cannons, and once they spewed out flames, they were going to hide.
Under the city.
Chang Wei kept patrolling the city wall with a telescope.
He knew him well and was a soldier. He had been guarding him in Tongguan. At that time, he had patrolled here countless times.
The people of Xiliang are not good at building cities, and the things here are exactly the same as they were twenty years ago, without any change.
"Fight fifty meters to the left of the city gate." Chang Wei said to the artillery general.
Tongguannan City is about 300 meters wide.
He clearly remembered that the city wall at that location had been repaired.
And the repaired things are not as strong as the original ones.
After giving orders to the artillery, he said to Guan Tong again, "Prepare all the ladders. If the city wall cannot be knocked down by noon tomorrow, we will have to attack. There is not much time left for us."
"Yes, General." Guan Tong took the order and left.
His order was issued, and sixty cannons aimed the muzzles at the positions that needed to be bombarded.
At the same time, the remaining forty artillery guns were aimed at the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall.
The city walls need to be bombarded, and the morale of these Xiliang soldiers must be killed.
"Boom boom boom..."
Soon, a huge roar resounded throughout the Tong Pass.
The black shells flew towards the city wall, smashing countless debris from the blue bricks on the city wall.
Immediately, a few bricks broke directly, but did not fall off.
At the same time, some artillery shells flew towards the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall.
Some of the battlements were shattered by shells, and the gatehouses of the city walls were splashing.
Although I heard rumors about artillery from the defeated soldiers.
But when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still frightened and their legs couldn't help but become weak.
"ah……"
A soldier was directly hit by a shell and a blood mist exploded immediately.
Blood splattered on the other Xiliang soldiers. They screamed and immediately lay on the city wall, not daring to get up.
The moment the cannon fired, Qu Dan squatted down. He hid under the wall and covered his ears tightly, allowing the bricks to splash.
A debris scratched his face, and he seemed to be too nervous and didn't notice it.
Chang Wei frowned and looked at the city wall.
The distance of 300 meters is very narrow for the army.
In this way, the number of people climbing in the city is destined to be small.
The enemy occupies a favorable terrain, with 30,000 people in such a narrow place, and it will take a long time to fight.
This undoubtedly extends the time for siege.
Therefore, what he hopes most now is to make a gap like Jincheng.
As long as there is a gap, the rest will be easy to handle.
While he was instructing the soldiers to set up camp quietly, Chang Wei stared at the cannon.
He stayed up all night with the rumbling cannons.
The next day, he looked disappointed at the place where the artillery bombarded.
Although the blue bricks outside fell off a lot, the rammed earth inside was exposed.
But in his opinion, this period of city wall could not be collapsed in less than three days.
Time no longer allows him to wait.
After all, if you wait one more day, the greater the possibility of Beidi winning the same level.
Looking at Guantong, he said, "Let the soldiers prepare, prepare the ladder to the city and attack vigorously."
Like Jincheng, the guards of the same pass also threw sandbags behind the city gate.
Therefore, it is useless to be blown open.
At present, there is only one way to attack.
Guan Tong nodded heavily, and there was no doubt that this would be a fierce battle.
Chapter completed!
