After Chen Qinrang said that, he slapped the wine bottle on the table with his eyes red: "Tomorrow... I will make a break with them and strait Lang San!"

After all, the drink gave Chen Qinrang enough courage.

Early the next morning, the sound of the horn echoed.

The birds on the mountain were startled and jumped up densely. The continuous camp also rushed out countless soldiers and horses like a flood. Chen Qinrang rode the horse and looked at the pass in front of him, as if he could vaguely see a man above the pass that was enough to make him awe at this moment.

In the rebel camp, a knight flew out and rushed towards the gate. When approaching the gate building, he bent his bow and shot an arrow up the city building.

The musket team on the city tower had been waiting for a long time, but did not fire. Someone took the arrows and then took off the letters tied to the arrows and immediately passed them to Zhu Di and Hao Fenglou in the building.

"You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Today, I am the king of Annan. When the war comes, the world is in chaos and the people are fluent. If Your Majesty insists on moving troops, what will happen to the people? I am the general and assistant of Your Majesty, but I am not willing to be an enemy of Your Majesty. I ask Your Majesty to promise you the Lord of Annan. I am willing to stop the army and respect the Ming Dynasty. I have been vassals for generations. At this point, the two countries have had a good relationship and no conquest. If I disobey you, I will die without a burial place. If I cannot be safe in the land, my descendants will be slaves forever."

This was Chen Qin's last thought. Both sides stopped their troops and promised him to be the lord of Annan.

Zhu Di held the letter in his hand, pinched it in his palm, crushing it bit by bit, and then he smiled. When he walked to Guanlou, he sprinkled the shredded paper and shouted: "Tell Chen Qinrang that as long as he presents the head, I will save his three tribes from the death of one."

On the city tower, no one sent a letter, nor did anyone shouted a conversation with the people under the city. On the wall tower, several artillery soldiers were already busy. After loading the gunpowder and shells, a shocking sound came out of the sky, and the fire snakes spurted out of the muzzle, and the hot shells flew directly into the dense rebels hundreds of feet away.

boom……

The shells directly hit the crowd, and immediately smashed one person into meat sauce. The remaining momentum was not gone. However, it kept hitting the crowd.

In an instant, seven or eight rebels died, and the desperate wail pierced the eardrums.

The lethality of artillery is actually not very large. Compared with tens of thousands of rebels, it is just a drop in the ocean, but it brings a lot of shock to people.

Chen Qinrang's eyes were suddenly filled with blood. Of course he knew that this was Zhu Di's answer. Zhu Di told him that today, we will live to the death.

Chen Qinrang shouted: "Come, lead the team, kill!"

A flag was raised. Then a soldier rushed out of the formation like a tide. The people in the front row held high shields, and the people behind began to squirm towards the pass like a turtle formation.

Although they were rebels, they were from the Ming army after all, and they had their own rules for siege. Countless large shields wrapped them tightly. In the center of the turtle formation, someone carried a long ladder. Such a method of siege was proven to be successful.

It's just a pity that the rebels came in a hurry and did not carry artillery.

In fact, Chen Qinrang did have hundreds of cannons here, but most of them were old-style artillery from the Ming army. Such cannons were not only heavy, but also difficult to carry because they were anxious to attack Langshan Pass. It was impossible to carry them. In fact, Chen Qinrang knew in his heart that even if he brought them, he would be vulnerable in front of Hao Fenglou's new cannons. He was very self-aware of this. As a deputy general, he had some understanding of this.

However, there are many rebels, and there are only a thousand Ming troops on the pass, so Chen Qinrang doesn't care about these things.

Nearly five thousand people slowly squirmed in this black turtle array.

At the same time, the pass began to counterattack. More than a dozen cannons fired together, and countless shells smashed into the turtle formation, and each time, people fell down one after another.

The rebel officer who led the team also had red eyes, picked up his sword to supervise the battle, and kept shouting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they don't have many artillery, they can't kill a few people, move forward, move forward..."

The turtle formation continued to wriggle, but it had begun to be a little disorganized.

Faced with this situation, Hao Fenglou, who was on Guanlou, could only smile bitterly. The artillery of this era is indeed not very powerful, because it is a solid shell. To put it bluntly, it is just an enhanced version of a stone throwing cart. If there are hundreds of artillery on Guanlou, it can cause huge damage. It’s a pity that these dozen artillery are really not enough to exert their power.

But he was not in a hurry. He stood calmly after closing the wall, looking at him, as if he was calculating something.

Two hundred feet...one hundred fifty feet...

Hao Fenglou's eyes suddenly jumped, and he shouted: "Mirdman."

Crazy...

Muskets were placed in the holes in the female wall, and their heads were poked out one by one.

The distance of 150 meters was a bit difficult, but they were condescending and gained an advantage.

"Preparation..." The hundred households began to hiss.

The long gun had already been filled with gunpowder, and all the musketeers were steadily carrying the muskets, motionless.

"shoot!"

Bang bang bang bang...

Thousands of fried beans sounded one after another, and the dense sound of muskets finally brought out the power of the musket team.

More and more people fell in the turtle formation, and were then replaced by the next ones. The penetration power of this long gun was extremely strong. They soon realized that this large shield alone was not enough to resist the musket. The countless bullet rains were released. What was even more shocking was that the interval between the muskets was not long.

After each musketeer fired his gun, he immediately handed the long gun in his hand to a person around him. This man was a newly recruited "strong man". After some time of practice, they had already become familiar with the loading of the musketeer. He took a new long gun and handed it to the musketeer. Then he replaced the musketeer's hand and loaded them with ammunition.

Two people were in groups, one fired a gun and the other repeatedly loaded gunpowder, and the shooting interval was more than doubled.

Hundreds and thousands of corpses were left along the way, and at this time, he finally got angry and was defeated under the rain of bullets.

The sound of the gun stopped and ended abruptly.

Apart from the corpses on the ground, the rebels did not make any progress.

But anyone knows that this is just a tentative attack. In essence, these people are originally used to die to test the reality and reality of the pass.

However, the power on the pass was greatly beyond the expectations of the rebels, especially the men of Leli and Annan.

Li Li rode a horse to meet Chen Qinrang. His lips were pursed, and a little uneasiness flashed in his narrow eyes. He approached Chen Qinrang and said, "Why are their muskets so sharp? No, many soldiers are already scared. If they don't take advantage of the situation to take down the pass, once they become tired soldiers and cannot take this place, you and I will die as you said last night. General Chen, you and I have agreed that things are now no way out, so we can only move forward to death." He smiled coldly and continued, "No need to test again, and don't give them a chance to breathe. Now attack and bet on all the people. As long as someone climbs the pass, you and I will win a great victory."

Chen Qinrang also gritted his teeth at this time and said, "Okay!" He waved his hand high.

The messengers around him saw his actions and immediately rode their horses to convey Chen Qinrang's order: "The commander has orders and attacks with force. All the troops obey the orders, advance in unison, and take down the pass."

Strong attack is the stupidest way, but now it is also the smartest way. Tens of thousands of troops are betting together. No matter how sharp the opponent's firearm is, as long as it can persist and as long as someone climbs the wall, you can win.

The number of rebels was dozens of times that of the people at the gate. As the saying goes, "With my voyage, we throw our whips on the river, and we can cut off the current." Chen Qinrang was not stupid, he was determined to decide the winner directly.

"Woo woo woo woo..." The heavy sound of cow horns sounded.

Immediately, the sound of drums came out, and the sound shook the nine heavens.

The rebels who had already arranged their lineup began to advance and slowly pressed up. The two wings were cavalry that echoed back and forth, the front was swords and shields, and the middle was black and slapped with military horses that could not see the end. The chariots rushing to the city were like hideous monsters, and they rolled forward.

The musketeers on the pass couldn't help but squirt when they saw such a formation. Such a lineup really shocked them.

At the same time, under the city, each of the fast riders shouted loudly: "The commander has his life, and we are all traitors. Zhu Di's son will avenge him. Today he will betray him and will be cut into pieces by him in the future. If he can step this pass and take Zhu Di, he will be in front of him. If he retreats, all the elders in your family will die. Kill, kill... kill the city, capture Zhu Di, and take down this hypocrite for usurping the throne, and avenge Emperor Jianwen!"

On the other side, the Annan people shouted in Annan dialect: "The one above the gate is the tyrant who burned my home and insulted my wife and daughter. Kill it, break through the gate, and enter Guangxi. Some of the Ming Dynasty were gold and silver, and some were women..."

boom……

Tens of thousands of people were in a blast and began to run wildly. This time, no one called a big shield anymore. No one was careful. Under the drums, although the sound of cannons had sounded on the gates, it seemed that the sound had been suppressed. Everyone seemed to be crazy, facing the cannons, like hungry wolf, holding up swords and swarming forward.

Even Zhu Di couldn't help but take a breath in such a scene. He squinted his eyes and stood still in awe in the whistling winter wind.

Hao Fenglou's eyes were also red. He gritted his teeth and smashed his fist hard on the wall: "Get ready to fight!"

"Sir, I'm ready to fight!"

The flags were waving and roaring in the wind. Boxes of things had been brought to the wall. Hundreds of muskets were ready to go, and the sound of cannons was still rumbling. Every time the roar, the entire wall was trembling. With this huge sound, everyone's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
