Section 32 Competition (Part 1)

When Li Laiheng attacked Tongyuan Sect fiercely, Yuan Zongdi also launched a strong attack on Dingyuan Sect.

Dingyuan Gate is located north of Tongyuan Gate, not far from Jialing River. The Chongqing city wall has a corner on the Dingyuan Gate Tower, which is very suitable for Yuan Zongdi to launch an attacking force.

Yuan Zongdi did not have the Hanyang single-man crossbow machine that Li Laiheng and Deng Ming had, but the Wanxian army also had their means of siege. Many of Yuan Zongdi's subordinates were Dachang people from Xiaosanxia, ​​who were the first-class mountain infantry in the Kuidong army. When they moved to Wanxian, Yuan Zongdi basically moved Dachang. These Dachang people followed Yuan Zongdi the longest and were most trusted by Yuan Zongdi. After arriving in Wanxian, they almost became war soldiers.

As early as a few years ago, when Deng Ming went to Dachang to meet Yuan Zongdi, he saw Dachang people walking on flat ground in the Guanyin Rock in Xiaosanxia and the Shuangying Ping cliffs. At that time, Deng Ming wanted to draw a group of people from Dachang people to form the backbone of the mountain soldiers in his future army. However, as Deng Ming became more and more aware of the rules of this era, he finally lost his heart. No one could break the established chain of loyalty at will. Deng Ming's request was a difficult task. Not only Yuan Zongdi was unwilling, but even Dachang soldiers themselves were unwilling to betray the old master and be stabbed by others.

As the sound of the attack drum sounded, the officers and soldiers of the Wanxian Army rushed towards the city wall in batches. When they were just feinted, the Ming army used the Dachang people as the vanguard. They were very agile on the city wall. Although they were similar to the defense methods of Tongyuanmen, their casualties were much less than those of Li Laiheng's soldiers.

Many of Yuan Zongdi's men who participated in the general attack brought rifles, which was originally a climbing tool for them when climbing. Yuan Zongdi changed it when he was stationed in Dachang and turned it into a special weapon of the Dachang Army. After moving to Wanxian, Chengdu's support continued to arrive. Yuan Zongdi had the capital to make a large number of this rifle designed by himself. It looked like an enlarged tickling spoon, with three arc-shaped claws on the head of the eagle claw. When climbing the cliff, this iron claw could hook the tiny rock cracks. After Yuan Zongdi's transformation, the insides of several minions were ground sharply, and the claws were as sharp as the tip of a dagger.

Liu Wei, the Qiang General of the Green Camp in Shanxi, stood on the city wall near Dingyuan Gate Tower. When he saw the Ming army climbing up the ladder, holding a shield in one hand and holding a long pole in the other hand, the people climbed quickly, as if running on a ladder.

"These are all mountain people..." Liu Wei came to this conclusion almost immediately. When he was in Taihang Mountain, he had also seen the mountain people there climbing agility, and the swaying ladders seemed like solid ladders to them.

The density of the Wanxian army on the ladder was not as high as that of the Jiangling army, but the Qing army officers at Dingyuan Gate dared not take it lightly. After seeing the other party's agile skills, Liu Wei felt heavy in his heart. Although there were not many people on the ladder on the Ming army, as long as the gap was opened there, a large group of Ming soldiers would run to the top of the city in a blink of an eye.

Rolling wood, rocks, boiling oil, asphalt, Liu Wei did not hesitate to command his subordinates to attack the city with useful weapons. During this period, Liu Wei was still mixed with his subordinates again and again, protruding his head out to observe the battle situation. Not far from Liu Wei, he saw with his own eyes a pot of asphalt pouring down a ladder. The Ming army on the ladder almost ran out at the same moment as the Qing army threw out its torches. He didn't have to jump off the ladder to escape, but jumped directly to the two ladders next to it.

"Are you all monkeys on the mountain?" Liu Wei was stunned. Fortunately, the Ming army did not always have such luck and such excellent reactions, especially the Qing army's sniper from the shooting hole, which was as effective as the Tongyuan Gate. The Ming army could not avoid the bow and arrow flying out of close range. The Ming army fell one after another. However, at this time, some people could still save their lives with the clawed guns - it was clearly a smooth Chongqing city wall, but the Ming army's claw guns could always be tightly grasped on it.

When Yuan Zongdi, who was watching the battle in the distance, felt a little painful whenever he saw an old Dachang tribe. Not only because they had been with him for many years, but also knew that such soldiers would be unable to replenish their losses. The ancestors of Dachang walked on the cliffs of the Xiaosan Gorges for generations, searched on the cliffs, dug brine, and traveled to the top of the mountain and on the surface of the Daning River with firewood and brine. After they died, they would be buried in the caves of the cliffs by their descendants in hanging coffins. When Deng Ming praised Yuan Zongdi's subordinates for their agility, Yuan Zongdi once joked: Dachang people learned to climb mountains before they could learn to walk.

The auxiliary soldiers of the Wanxian Army were waiting near the city wall. After someone was injured and fell, the wounded would be sent to the back of the formation to be treated immediately. This kind of natural mountain warrior was difficult to cultivate through daily training. Since Yuan Zongdi guarded Wanxian, he can be regarded as the number one richest among the Kuidong Army. He prepared a lot of herbs and bandages in advance in order to save the lives of the wounded as much as possible.

However, the progress of the Ming army still satisfies Yuan Zongdi. The Qing army has already begun to defend with all its strength due to the pressure of the Ming army, and the Qing army's defense methods and firepower positions have also been discovered.

The Ming army kept firing rockets. Taking advantage of the gap, Liu Wei approached again, trying to check the Ming army's offensive. Suddenly, the wind blew instinctively, and he saw a black shadow passing by him. It turned out to be a gun that stabbed up. Liu Wei was shocked and knew that the Ming army's vanguard was already very close to the wall, and was holding a shield there to climb up. The Qing soldiers gathered by the wall were hitting their shield with all their strength with their weapons, not allowing them to take another step. At this time, some cold guns were stabbing up from under the shield.

The Qing soldiers next to Liu Wei also avoided the other side at the same time. It seemed that the Ming army's spear was lost, but when the black shadow fell back, it seemed to have rotated slightly. Before Liu Wei could still be glad to his agile reaction, the pull-back gun hooked the green camp soldier beside Liu Wei.

Two of the three iron hooks, like eagle claws, were embedded in the shoulders of the Green Camp soldier. The Qing soldier was startled and then reached out to pull out the iron hook, but the gun rod suddenly pulled back, and in a moment he pulled the soldier away from the ground, as if he was going to drag him out of the city wall.

Liu Wei and a person behind him stretched out his hand at the same time and pulled the vest of the soldier who was hooked. He felt a great force coming from his arm and dragging him forward, as if more than one person was pulling a gun under the shield. Liu Wei had to stretch out a foot and stomp on the wall to stop the castration.

At this time, the Qing soldier who was pulled suddenly screamed, and the tip of the gun was scratching his sponge armor, pressing the armor piece into his muscles. The gun rod shook, and the Ming army who was holding it was obviously aware that he had captured his prey, so he hung his feet on the ladder and swayed left and right to aggravate the downward momentum.

The Qing soldier had already thrown down the weapons and shields in his hands, holding the gun bar in both hands, but still could not stop the tip of his claws from continuing to pierce the muscles on his shoulders and back. The Qing soldier let out a horrifying scream, but no matter how hard he twisted, he could only let the iron hook penetrate deeper from his back to his lungs.

At Liu Wei's feet, he suddenly screamed. This was an archer who had just completed the shooting. After shooting down another Ming soldier, he suddenly scratched his gun and slid into the hole, and a rotation caught the Qing soldier's cheek.

When the gun was being pulled back, the Qing army archer was also led to the hole. After he crashed into it, the originally small hole was stuffed with the Qing army archer. Liu Wei did not care about rescuing the previous armored soldier, and hurriedly let go of his hand to drag the archer who blocked the shooting hole. After the archer was dragged out of the hole, half of his face had disappeared, and the gums were dragged out of the skull, and the teeth and tongue were all gone.

"Continue shooting." Liu Weiqiang suppressed the disgust in his chest, turned around and ignored the torn face, and let the two armorless soldiers throw the body down from the city, the armored soldier who was hooked had already died. The iron hook pierced his lungs. When the blood was poured in, he lost the ability to breathe.

The Qing soldiers who were holding him let go of their hands one after another, and the corpse was slowly suspended in the air and then turned out of the city wall.

When the Qing army continued to throw stones down, hooks attacked from below from time to time, and once they bite the Qing army, they would never let go. Another Qing soldier was hooked by his arm with a gun. Amid the shouting of the Qing soldier, the iron hook slowly embedded in his big arm muscles, cut off his tendons, and finally pulled the arm off his body to pull the city.

Looking at the soldier who fainted from pain, Liu Wei couldn't help but take a step back, not planning to go to the wall to observe the enemy situation. Compared to this Green Camp soldier, those who were hooked on their necks could be considered lucky. The iron hook broke their cervical spine and esophagus in a blink of an eye, and died almost as fast as being stabbed by a gun.

"Next time someone is hooked..." Liu Wei suddenly thought that he could not be so cheap as to the Ming army opponent. He hurriedly explained to his surrounding subordinates what he had just come out: that is, to hold on to the body tightly next time, and then let go together. Maybe he could smash the Ming army a few times, which would be considered an exchange.

When Liu Wei was halfway through, a shrill call for help came from the shooting hole. This time, the gun that suddenly came in hooked the arm of a archer who could not dodge. In a blink of an eye, it was entangled with the sleeves, blood vessels, and muscles on his arm, and dragged the man towards the entrance of the hole without saying a word.

"You can't block the shooting hole!" Liu Wei shouted, and flew up and grabbed the other arm of the archer. Several shooting holes were already blocked by the bodies of the Qing soldiers. I don't know what heavy objects the Ming army had installed under them. The shooting hole that could only barely stuff their heads into, swallowed the person all the way to the shoulders. No matter how hard the Qing army tried, it could no longer drag the bloody corpse out - this greatly affected the firepower around Dingyuan Gate.

When Liu Wei was tug of war with the Ming army outside the wall, the Qing army archer's arm had been dragged into the hole.
