Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 990 There’s always a first time

When the Tiger Crouching Cannon is fired, large and small shells fly together, which is especially suitable for attacking dense enemy forces. The Dali army was unprepared and received the Ming army's first salvo with its face.

With the pop of lead shot hitting the city wall, the Dali soldiers at the top of the city fell one by one like wheat cut by a sickle. Screams immediately resounded through Xiaguan City.

Those soldiers who had not been shot heard the screams around them and quickly turned around to see that the ground was already covered with shot comrades. Some were directly killed by lead shot, and their brains were splashed all over the floor. But most of them were just injured, clutching their bleeding wounds, screaming and writhing on the ground in pain.

At this time, the soldiers with all beards and tails were also frightened. They all threw away the stones and lay on the ground. They were kicked, beaten and cursed, but they refused to show their bodies again.

Because the officers who scolded them were all lying down...

In fact, the second firing of the Tiger Crouching Cannon takes a long time. In addition to normal loading, the gun body must be reset, the angle readjusted, and the muzzle padded with wood chips.

Even a well-trained gunner needs half a cup of tea. The defenders have enough time to continue fighting between cannon fires. However, the Dali people were frightened when they saw this scene for the first time. They were stunned to let the Ming army set up After building the pontoon bridge, we carried the ladder and crossed the Erhe River.

As one ladder after another climbed up the city, the Dali army woke up from a dream and realized that if they didn't stand up and fight back, they would be attacked by the Ming army.

They quickly climbed up holding the stone and threw it frantically towards the ladder. Pieces of rocks the size of watermelons rained down, causing the Ming soldiers on the ladder to have their heads bruised and bleeding. They screamed and rolled down the ladder, knocking down their comrades below the ladder as well.

The Dali army also had weapons similar to poles, which could be pushed down continuously along the ladder to prevent the Ming army from ascending the city. Even the powerful Ming army was still in a hard fight at this time. The soldiers on the ladder kept screaming and falling. Occasionally, some soldiers rushed to the top of the city, but they were outnumbered and were knocked to the ground by the spears of the Dali army.

But the Ming army still showed no signs of fading. Those in front fell down, while the soldiers behind continued to climb quickly. They are a victorious iron army and will never be intimidated by sacrifice.

The soldiers of the Ming Army knew very well that as long as one unit attacked and gained a firm foothold, the situation would be reversed! But there are too many defenders and they are united, so it is not something you can defeat just by being firm enough in your faith.

Both sides were red-eyed. One party desperately tried to climb the city, while the other tried desperately to stop them. The shouts of killing echoed in Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, making the wind, flowers, snow and moon lose their color...

The squatting tiger artillery stopped roaring after the siege began, spraying a large area with shotgun shells. If it fired again at this time, it would hurt more of our own people than the enemy's, so we had to shut up.

Yu Min's attention has been transferred to the city. Although he is no longer a new soldier on the battlefield and has experienced fierce battles like Baishijiang, he was still stunned by the brutality of the siege battle in front of him.

Seeing those veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles and were extremely skilled, falling like dumplings under the city, he thought to himself that he might not be so lucky to survive this time.

But he has learned how to get along with fear, that is, muster up all the courage to defeat the enemy in front of him!

"It's our turn!" At this time, Deputy Liu Qianhu, who was acting as Qianhu, shouted.

The soldiers responded with a roar, formed siege formations with small flags as units, followed Deputy Liu Qianhu across the pontoon bridge, came to the foot of Guancheng covered with blood and corpses, and began to climb the ladder in an orderly manner.

When it was Yu Min's turn, he found that the ladder was covered in blood and was sticky to the touch. Without having time to think about it, he started climbing on his hands and feet.

The comrades above and on the left and right kept screaming and falling. Yu Min was extremely frightened and her movements were extremely agile.

While crawling, he was suddenly surprised to find that the screams around him stopped suddenly, and no comrades fell... This was a good thing anyway. Before he had time to think about it, Yu Min took the opportunity to climb up to the top of the city with his comrades. Then he saw that the Dali army on the city was in chaos.

What caused the chaos was the five thousand picks who came down from the Xianyang Peak behind them!

The Dali army was unprepared and was in chaos for a while. Even the soldiers who were blocking the enemy on the front line of the city couldn't help but turn around to see what was going on.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. You will see that the Ming army from the brigade is like a magic weapon descending from the sky, suddenly appearing behind you and directly destroying the friendly troops behind you.

When they turned back, they were shocked even more - just as they turned around, the Ming army had already seized this fleeting opportunity and quickly rushed to the city!

On the ever-changing battlefield, how can they be allowed to lose their collective attention?

Against the experienced Ming army, as long as you reveal any flaws, you will definitely be caught and then completely killed!

Yu Min also followed Niu Zongqi and successfully climbed to the top, then grabbed the arrow stack and jumped onto the city wall. When he was in mid-air, he pulled out the knife stuck on his back with his backhand and slashed towards the Dali army besieging Niu Zongqi!

Before the Dali soldier could react, he chopped off most of his neck with a knife. As blood spurted out, his head flew in the opposite direction, but was connected to the other side of his neck by flesh and blood, and finally hung down strangely...

Before they could feel the fear, Yu Min landed on the ground again and used the rolling knife technique that Qi Qianhu taught them. He rolled like a lazy donkey and cut off the calves of several enemy soldiers. The last move made the carp straighten up and stand up.

The only fly in the ointment is that when he got up, he should have faced the enemy head-on, but he faced Niu Zongqi instead.

Niu Zongqi pulled him behind him and blocked the enemy's spears with his knife. He didn't care to laugh at him and said urgently: "Form up!"

Yu Min quickly stood slightly to the left behind Niu Zongqi, blocking the enemy from the left for him. Another soldier stood on the right side of Niu Zongqi, and the three formed a three-talent formation. With the offense and defense facing each other, the survivability was greatly improved.

Under the cover of the three men, more and more soldiers rushed forward, and their formation became more and more dense. Not only was there no problem in defense, but they could also start a step-by-step counterattack.

Under the leadership of Niu Zongqi, the soldiers advanced step by step to clear the garrison at the top of the city for their comrades who came to the city behind.

As the Ming army surged onto the city, the Dali army continued to be defeated. Entire sections of the city wall were lost, and eventually even the gate tower was lost.

A strong Ming soldier rushed into the city gate tower, picked up the hammer placed next to the turntable, and smashed the pin with a heavy hammer, and the turntable began to rotate rapidly.

With a clicking sound, the suspension bridge slowly lowered and landed on the Erhe River.

The main force of the Ming army across the river cheered and rushed into the open city gate of Xiaguan.

Longwei Pass, a dangerous pass that was said to have never been conquered since its completion, did not last even half a day before it fell.
