Chapter 127
Shaanxi, Tongguan.

Tongguan is located in northern Shaanxi, adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and on the mountainside in the south. According to the water classics, the river flows through Tongjiguan Mountain in the south in the pass.

"Small... small." A man shouted from a side building in Tongguan.

"Big... big, open, I won, hand over all the money!"

"Brother Wang, your luck is too bad today. If you continue to lose like this, you will lose your pants if you play two more games! Why don't you let it go and fight again tomorrow, how about it?"

A skinny monkey who had obviously won money said to a burly man across the table with a shy smile.

"You're so proud of your egg, wait until I go out to pee, and then come again, I won't believe in evil today!" After finishing speaking, the strong man opened the coarse cloth curtain and walked out of the side building.

It was late autumn, and the city wall was already terribly cold. Since the whole of Shanxi was used as a barrier to the east, Li Zijing's army had been living very comfortably. In this cold weather, they simply hid in the side buildings and played sieves.

The man was too lazy to go down the tower, so he stood at the drain below the battlements, lifted up his pants and let the water flow, a torrent rushing down from the drain.

The man was shaking while urinating, glanced down the city, and was stunned for a while.

I saw an army appearing hundreds of meters away from the city wall, and there were countless people. According to this speed, I am afraid that it will be able to reach the city in a short time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The man was so frightened that he forgot to lift his trousers, and shouted as he stepped back. His right leg softened and he sat down on the wall.

"Brother Wang, what are you talking about? Even if you lose money, there is no need to frighten everyone, right..."

The thin man triumphantly opened the curtain to expose the lie of being called Brother Wang, and just as he walked out of the side building, before he finished speaking, he saw the changes in the city.

"Oh my God, hurry up! Go and notify He Zongbing! The enemy is attacking!"

"Xiang Xiong! Order the artillery to prepare, target Tongguan city gate, fire immediately!"

Liu Hongjian took out the wine bag from the horse's back and took a sip of the wine, hissing—it was really spicy.

In order to prevent leakage of information, Liu Hongjian ordered Wei Penghong to block the border, and at the same time hurriedly led the frontier cavalry from the east and set off from Linxian County.

In this westward advance, in addition to 2000 cavalry, there are also [-] horses from Shanhaiguan's infantry Xiangxiong, all of whom came on horseback. These are all the horses in the entire Shanhaiguan.

Then there are two thousand cavalry from the Thousand Households of Wansui Mountain, which can be reached from Linxian to Tongguan in five days, but how can only cavalry break through the copper and iron walls of Tongguan.

As a last resort, Liu Hongjian had to take twenty Flang cannons dismantled from Taiyuan Mansion and Datong Mansion, which seriously slowed down the marching speed of the troops.

Even if it was disassembled and repackaged on the refitted carriage, it still took dozens of horses to death, and it took ten days to reach the border of Shaanxi.

"Design!" Xiang Xiong returned to the battlefield. Even though he was exhausted from marching for several days, Xiang Xiong's voice was still very excited. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

What was fought was a blitzkrieg, and the frontier army was certainly a tired army, but Li Zijing's army headed by He Jin had been at ease for a long time and had lost its vigor.

Seeing the strong army approaching the city, the walls are in a mess, the soldiers are looking for the general, and the general is running around shouting at his soldiers.

Boom—boom—the two Franglers that had already placed gunpowder were the first to spit out their anger.

But the angle was adjusted too high, and neither of the two shells hit the city gate, but instead blasted a hole in the city gate tower.

Boom—boom—but it doesn't matter, after only two breaths, three more Franglers ignited, one shot hit the city wall, and the other two hit the city gate.

The city gates of Tongguan are all made of strong wood and covered with iron sheets. After being shot twice, only two holes were punched out.

"Quickly, put on the mother and child cannon! Quick!" The Fran cannon is a front-loaded solid bullet. It needs to be compacted with gunpowder first, and then put in the solid iron bullet. The process is cumbersome.

In contrast, the reload speed of the sub-cannon with slightly reduced power is much faster. After firing a round, you only need to put the pre-installed sub-cannon into the barrel, and you can fire immediately.

Although due to accuracy issues, there is a gap between the sub-cannon and the main cannon, which is less powerful, but it is enough for the city gate.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, twenty gates bombarded the city gate of Tongguan uninterruptedly. In less than a quarter of an hour, the gate of Tongguan was gone.

"The infantry stepped forward and filled up the moat for Benbo! The cavalry battalion is ready!"

Liu Hongjian shouted that he had already prepared two thousand infantrymen to quickly rush towards the moat below the city with sandbags on their shoulders.

After panicking for half an hour, the peasant army on the city wall finally formed a weak defense. Hundreds of sloppy archers shot towards the city with their bows and arrows. From time to time, three or two soldiers carrying sandbags were hit by arrows.

"Prepare to shoot hundreds of households, and shoot freely on the city wall ahead!" Liu Hongjian ordered Zu Qiuqing, who was already eager to try, by his side.

One hundred AKM shooters got off their horses, trotted forward for a dozen steps, and loaded their guns with a series of clicks.

da da da da da da da da

The distance was not very far, and the shooting effect of the AKM was good. In just a moment, dozens of people were shot on the city wall.

Even if the frontier soldiers were hit by arrows, they still endured the pain and threw sandbags into the moat, but how could the pampered He Jinjun be so tough, and the militia, who didn't know what the word elite was for half a year, had already become a complete blind stream.

Dozens of militiamen were shot, many of them had their skulls knocked off, and some had their brains burst out. The newly assembled peasant army blew up the battalion in an instant.

Hundreds of archers scrambled to the bottom of the city. He Jin, who had just prepared, was about to rush up the tower with more than a thousand soldiers, when he was led astray by the defeated army on the city wall.

No matter how he shouted, not only the people on the city wall ran away, but the more than 1000 soldiers who had just gathered thought that the city wall had fallen, and they ran along regardless of 21.

More than [-] sandbags filled the moat to create a flat land more than ten meters wide. In order to facilitate the walking of the horses, several wooden planks were laid.

"Warriors, follow me into the city and take the head of the general! Kill without mercy!" Liu Hongjian drew out his saber.

"rush!"

As soon as Liu Hongjian finished shouting, Tang Feng, who had already been unable to contain his blood, drew out his saber and rushed out first, screaming.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, one side is the disorderly soldiers who have discarded their helmets and armor, and the other is the cavalry of hundreds of battles. It only took an hour for the [-] infantry of Tongguan General He Jin to be wiped out.

He Jin's liver and gallbladder were splitting, and Tang Feng cut him off his horse from the neck with a knife. His eyes were full of regret and fear.

Another hour passed, and the entire Tongguan was cleared. Except for more than [-] militiamen who surrendered, Tongguan had been completely captured, and the Ming border army had only casualties of more than [-] people.

According to the previously agreed plan, more than [-] captives were tied up, and after leaving a hundred sergeants to guard them, the army continued to march westward, and the blade pointed directly at Xi'an Mansion.

 Thank you for the 100 coins reward for the book friend who lit up the lamp and looked at the ax while drunk. From the very beginning, my brother has always supported me. Han Han has kept it in my heart. After finishing writing, I will repay you all, and there will be another chapter to send later.
