Shi Guangrong looked at the Qi soldiers who were coming from the end of the corridor, and a grim smile appeared on his face.

"Grenade preparation!"

In order to regain this corridor, this was the third counterattack. In the corridor, the bodies of soldiers who died in battle were stacked. If the Ming army had not thrown these corpses directly off the cliff for convenience, I would have been afraid that the passage in the corridor would be difficult to move forward at this time. Some of the corpses were directly built up by the Ming army, becoming barriers to block the advance of the Qi army. After these barriers, the Ming army fully utilized the huge advantages of gunpowder weapons, causing the Qi army to suffer huge casualties and gain nothing. Even if they worked hard to move several powerful crossbows down, it would be useless.

Amid the sound of grenade explosions and the crisp sound of Ming Style 1, Qi Jun dropped dozens of corpses and retreated again.

Seeing the Qi army retreating, the Ming army relaxed and did whatever it should be. Shi Guangrong did not try to attack the road leading to the top of the mountain on both sides of the corridor. After suffering a loss, he knew that it would be impossible to capture it.

The perverted Qi army led to the top of the mountain on both sides of the corridor, and there were two vertical shafts, with rope nets hanging around it, and Qi army passed through rope nets. At this moment, around the vertical shaft, Qi army had already arranged troops. As long as the Ming army tried to attack from here, they would immediately be hit by a head-on attack.

If the Ming army could not get these two passages, the left and right clamp arms of the Ming army still had only one road in Huashan, which was hard to do.

What Shi Guangrong has to do now is just to defend this corridor. If the Qi army takes it back, it will inevitably cause great trouble to the large troops attacking the top of the mountain. Although it cannot be attacked, defending it is not difficult for the Ming army.

As night falls gradually, it is impossible to launch a large-scale attack today. There are about 300 soldiers gathered in the corridor. In addition to arranging a part of the night watch, the others have already lie down to rest. Bales of sleeping bags were sent from the beach to the corridor halfway up the mountain, and then distributed to each soldier.

The winter nights are not that easy to stay, not to mention that they are now on the cliffs, with a large style and a biting bone-bone. Even if they are wrapped in a sleeping bag, they are still trembling with coldness.

As the commander of this army, Shi Xianrong naturally could not sleep. At this moment, he was sitting on the barriers built by several corpses, staring at the dark passage on one side in a daze.

I thought it was an easy battle, but it was beyond everyone's expectations until now. Unlike the cautious optimism of the senior generals, a lower-level officer like him originally thought that as long as the Ming army was launched, the Qi army would collapse and flee, but obviously, the fact was not like this, and the first battle was extremely hard.

After a whole day of battle, the Ming Navy Marines attacked the water camp, but they had not yet taken it completely. However, they were only halfway up the mountain and the attack came to an abrupt end. The army's losses here had exceeded 500 people, and the more than 100 people who came first came up, except for one Chu Yan who survived with great luck, all the rest were killed in battle.

I don’t know how much more it will cost to attack the ridge tomorrow.

Qi people didn't seem to be as easy to deal with as imagined! Shi Guangrong sighed. The lean camel was bigger than a horse, and what he said in his old age was really good.

A cold wind blew, he shivered, jumped out of the pile of corpses, reached out to pull the sleeping bag, and prepared for a while. At this moment, he suddenly smelled a smoke from his nose, and was stunned, turned his head and looked at the side of the corridor, where large clouds of smoke were floating over.

"Fuck it!" Shi Guangrong blurted out a swear word, which really made people feel uneasy.

These Qi people were setting fire from the shaft, no, it was not setting fire, it was creating smoke. At this moment, Shi Guangrong had already smelled some special smell in the smoke. After coughing a few times, he immediately took out a whistle from his arms and blew it loudly.

The sharp whistle echoed in the corridor, and all the Ming soldiers jumped out of their sleeping bags one by one.

"Wet the towel with water and cover your mouth and nose." Shi Guangrong shouted loudly.

Using poison to mix in the smoke to kill the enemy was not the first of the Qi people. In the battle of Kunling County a few years ago, the Navy and Marine Corps used this move to conquer the Yingzui Rock, which was guarded by Bian Wushuang at that time, and allowed a large number of reinforcements to appear on Xiaoshi City in time, laying the victory from the fundamentals, and finally making Bian Wushuang hate Kunling County. This time, the lightning attack was written into the officer textbook of the Ming army as a typical case of the navy's attack. Shi Guangrong, who graduated from the Officer's School, certainly knew it.

Now, the people of Qi have also used this trick.

Of course, it is also possible that the people of Qi made smoke and wanted to attack under the cover of the smoke, but no matter what, they had to be prepared for it. At this moment, their only response was to wet the towel and cover their mouths and noses.

The smoke in the corridors on both sides became thicker and thicker. Shi Guangrong tried his best to widen his eyes to see if there would be enemies attacking in the smoke. In just a moment, his eyes could no longer tolerate it, redness, swelling, soreness, and tears flowed.

He suddenly realized that he could not stand it, so how could Qiren bear it? The smoke on both sides was just a disturbance of his morale and attracted his attention.

"Be careful outside, be careful!" He shouted loudly, suddenly raised his gun and looked over his head.

In the smoke, a figure appeared in his sight hazy way, without any hesitation, Shi Guangrong immediately fired the gun. The man screamed and his whole body drooped softly, and fell to the ground with a snap. Almost at the same time, more figures hung upside down from the cliff wall above their heads. The howling sound of feather arrows and crossbow arrows, and the crisp sound of the Ming 1 style sounded in an instant, mixed with the continuous screams of both sides.

Shi Guangrong was shocked. Qi Ren tied a rope around his waist and slipped down from above to attack. The smoke on both sides of the corridor was still gushing out in balls. Although it was immediately blew a lot by the wind, the entire corridor was still filled with smoke. Shi Guangrong didn't know how many enemies had come.

The gunshots in the corridor also woke up the Ming army camping on the beach under the cliff. After a while, a bunch of snow-colored beams shot straight from below, illuminating the entire cliff. Suqian, who had reached the beach, couldn't help but be shocked. Qi people were really desperate. In his sight, the dense Qi soldiers were falling from above with a rope tied to their waists.

"Shoot!" He said happily to the remaining hundreds of naval marines. These people are really living targets now.

Gunshots continued to sound, and the Qi soldiers hanging on the mountain wall had no choice but to hide. Under the continuous shooting of the Ming army, they soon turned into dead bodies tied to ropes.

Qi Jun's reaction was actually very fast. When the Ming army searchlights on the beach shone on the mountain wall, they had already begun to climb up, but they were quick to get up, but they were slow to get up. Under the pursuit of bullets, those who came down were probably less than 10% able to escape successfully.

On the top of the mountain, Zhu Ruofan sighed. He carefully organized this night attack. He originally wanted to regain the corridor, but he never expected that the Ming army would be so alert that he had not obtained anything except for the casualties.

"Give me a stone bullet and hit them hard." He was angry and gave a meaningless order.

When one thunderbolt fire after another began to bombard it immediately attracted the shelling of the Ming army warships headed by the main gun of the Dachu on the sea. The entire clamp arm once again became dire straits and hot.

When both sides finally fell silent again, Shi Guangrong, who was cursing, had just checked his subordinates. During this round of attacks, more than twenty people fell down, seven died, and the remaining dozen were injured to varying degrees and had lost their combat effectiveness. He could only wrap them with a sleeping bag, tied them up, slowly put them down along the mesh rope, and sent them down to the bottom for treatment.

Of course, the matter has not yet been finished here. The smoke has not dissipated. At this moment, Shi Guangrong has confirmed that the smoke was just some spicy things added to the Qi people. While waving a flag to dispel the smoke, a rustling sound of water flowing in his ears, and a strong stench came from his nose.

He lifted a steam lamp to shine on both sides of the corridor. When he saw it, he was really stunned. At the end of the corridor, streams of water were slowly flowing towards them. The key was not these, but some yellow and white things mixed in these rivers.

"Fuck you!" Shi Guangrong couldn't help but curse.

I don’t think about spending this night. Water will slowly soak the entire corridor. I’m afraid that I won’t even find a place to stand, let alone sleep. If all these are tolerant, the stench in the sky will be inevitable. Everyone must not breathe.

"The people of Qi who have been missing for eight lifetimes, after I attack you, I will tie you up and soak you in the pit." In the corridor, Shi Xianrong's angry curses echoed everywhere.
