Chapter 467 Mortars are beginning to show their power
The military discipline was strict and the sound of killing was shocking. The Ming army looked extraordinary and had a very different aura. The entire battlefield was shrouded in such murderous aura.
"Kill!"
Liu Ju suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and shouted loudly while waving it. As Liu Ju said, the Ming army's artillery position opened fire first, and the shells hit the city wall of Loushan Pass. Some of them could not fall on the city wall at all, and they hit the city wall with a clang, causing no damage to the city wall.
Some hit the city wall, but there was not much force, and the range was really limited.
Originally, Yang Chaodong was shocked by the Ming Dynasty artillery, but now when he saw this scene, he felt relieved.
The Ming army infantry was not to be outdone, and rushed to Loushan Pass like a tide. He rushed up to Loushan Pass with a ladder in his hand, with a huge momentum. Yang Chaodong saw this scene and hurriedly called people to guard the city. The archers were all ready to roll wood and stones, and they were waiting for the Ming army to die.
The Ming army rushed forward with shields, and the rain of arrows on the top of the city did not cause any harm to them.
The ladder was quickly set up on Loushan Pass. The people guarding the city began to throw stones down, and the burning hot water was also waiting to pour it down.
Seeing the Ming army that had already begun to suffer casualties, Liu Jing's mouth twitched. Liu Jing had not been on the battlefield. He could be said to have experienced many battle formations and had seen many casualties. It was really time to fight to the death. Not to mention the lives of his subordinates, Liu Jing was willing to let go of his own life. The key is that in Liu Jing's opinion, this is a meaningless sacrifice!
"Mr. Liu, don't let me down!" Liu Jing looked at Liu Weishi beside him and said slowly.
Liu Weishi said something and Liu Weishi jumped. He always felt that Liu Wei was sinister when he said this. Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake. If he really failed, maybe Liu Wei had to study his own book, but he would have to be in trouble.
However, wealth and honor are in danger, and he is confident in the research of the Wubei Department. Liu Weishi gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Liu, just look at it!"
After saying this, Liu Weishi was still worried and ran to the artillery position himself, found the artillery man who was operating the artillery in the Wubei Department and asked, "How is it? Don't make a mistake, otherwise we will not have to take it."
"Don't worry, sir!" said the instigator manager: "We have just fired a few shots and have already set the position. I concentrated four guns and aimed them at the city tower of Loushan Pass. I just looked with a telescope. The generals at Loushan Pass gathered there, and wait for the four guns to fire together."
"At that time, we must make sure to blow up the city tower and kill all the people above. The remaining six gates will fire each, all heading towards places with a lot of people and supplies at Loushan Pass."
After hearing the other party's words, Liu Weishi breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that this time the mortar would show its power and that he would definitely make great contributions.
Yang Chaodong looked at the Ming soldiers who had set up the ladder excitedly. He was looking forward to seeing the Ming soldiers being smashed to death and scalded to death by hot water, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. However, this smile quickly solidified on his face, because the Ming army ran away and was defeated and ran away. He didn't even want the ladder, so he turned around and ran away.
Yang Chaodong was confused when he saw this scene. What was going on? Why did he run away? He was still so powerful just now, and the killing sound was amazing. Now he retreated?
There are no casualties. What about the Ming elite? What is this situation? Is this also called the Ming elite?
Before Yang Chaodong could react, the Ming army's artillery position suddenly sounded, and the sound was very clear, "Tuntuntun!", and then the shells roared towards Loushan Pass. Four of the shells went straight to the city gate tower of Loushan Pass, which could be said to be very powerful.
After the Ming army fired the cannon, they didn't go to see it. They took out a shell from the wooden box and put it into the muzzle again, and then said "Tun!"
Yang Chaodong saw four shells landing on the city gate tower, and then there was a shocking explosion. In an instant, the entire city gate tower was blown up, and earth-rocks flew around the scene. The other six cannons also showed their power. Explosions were everywhere at Loushan Pass, screams were everywhere, and countless people were blown into the sky.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jing showed ecstasy on his face. It was done, and it really happened. Liu Jing couldn't hide his excitement even though he was looking at him.
The chieftain who followed Liu Feng had originally seen the Ming army retreat, and his face was covered with confusion. Is this the elite of the Ming Dynasty? Isn’t it a good guy? After comparison, he was even worse than his own subordinates! But their thoughts were astonished as soon as they came up, and the entire Loushan Pass seemed to be about to be trampled on.
"Beat the drum, roar the guns to suppress it, and attack the city!" Liu Jing waved his hand excitedly and shouted loudly.
With Liu Jing's order, the three-sided drums in the army were beaten at the same time. The drum sound was the order on the battlefield. The Ming army, who had just been running away, seemed to be fixed. Then they turned around and rushed back. The ladder thrown on the ground was also picked up and rushed towards Loushan Pass at a faster speed.
This scene scared the chieftain to a great extent. It can be said that he was shocked all his chin. They had all fought a war, and it was difficult for the defeated soldiers to gather together, let alone the drums and advance.
It was obvious that he was an elite force. The retreat just now should have been intentional. The rough-minded Ming army commander was really as cunning as a fox!
The queuing team shot at the top of the city because the distance was very close, so they could still hit it. After all, the angle of elevation was large, and the shield soldiers and the ladder rushed up, with shields on their heads and grenades on their hands. When they felt that they were almost done, they threw them on the top of the city, and they didn't look at where they were thrown. There were explosions everywhere above Loushan Pass.
Four shells directly blew up Yang Chaodong's city gate building, and Yang Yinglong's son Yang Chaodong was buried directly inside.
There was a lot of chaos at Loushan Pass. With the bombardment of mortars, it was difficult for Loushan Pass to organize effective defense. The Ming Dynasty's shield soldiers easily jumped to the top of the city, and then they fought at close range. The Ming Dynasty's shield soldiers, who were tall and waving their shields and long swords, were completely worthy of facing the defenders of Loushan Pass.
The big opening and closing were invincible, and soon the safety zone was opened on the city wall, and then more Ming troops jumped onto the city wall.
There were more and more people, and the soldiers at Loushan Pass were beaten to retreat step by step and soon rushed off the city. The Ming army did not continue to chase and killed them, but instead hurried to dig open the city gate of Loushan Pass and let the army enter the city. Seeing that the city gate was opened, Liu Zhen waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Crush!"
