Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 196
The Xianglan Banner on the Saerhu Mountain City did not know how many times it repelled the attack of the Liao Army, and many corpses of the infantry of the Liao Army and the children of the Eight Banners were left at several mountain gates.Stones and broken armor are everywhere.Some Eight Banners soldiers did not die under the muskets of the charging infantry of the Liao army, but died in the shelling of the blind artillery.But every time they used bows, arrows, stones, and wood to repel the Liao army's upward attack without any risk.

"The wolfish ambition of the Liao army has been thwarted by us, so why is the banner owner still looking sad?" A group of Niu Luezhen, who was standing by Amin's side, saw Amin's brows furrowed and said inexplicably.

"Haven't you seen that the Liao army's attack on the mountain pass more than ten times is just a test for us. With their military strength, they can concentrate all their artillery to bombard a mountain pass, and then pile up with their lives." A Min Said.

"Impossible. If the Liao army can attack by force, why have they remained silent for so long?" said a Niu Lu Ezhen.

"This shows that they are reluctant to sacrifice so many people. They must be waiting for a better opportunity. Yes, the Fu Liao Army has always liked night battles because of their firearms. We must be careful tonight. The soldiers of the whole banner must not take off their armor , so as to deal with the sneak attack of the Liao army at any time." Amin slapped his head and said.

As the sun sets and the night gradually rules the land, the night that Amin fears most comes.

In the camp of the Liao army at the foot of the mountain, there was silence, and the artillery that had been ringing for most of the day also fell silent. This silence is a bit scary.

The defenders of Saerhu Mountain City left a Niulu force as a sentry at each mountain pass to prevent the Fuliao Army from continuing to make trouble at night.

In the dense forest at the mountain pass, two Han soldiers who were captured by the Jurchens to replenish their strength served as secret sentries.

"I think our lives are hanging by a thread this time." The Han soldiers squatted in the bushes, chattering while watching out for the movements of the Liao army at the foot of the mountain.

"Isn't it? We are also miserable. We are clearly ordinary people, but we are captured here by the Jurchen, and we will be beheaded by the Liao army."

"Do you want to find a chance to escape down the mountain? I heard that the Fuliao Army still treats us insignificant soldiers very preferentially."

"I also want to go down and surrender to the Liao army, but our family members were all moved to Hetuala by the Jurchens. If we leave like this, their lives will be lost."

"These hateful Jurchens...Look there, there seem to be torches!" One of the sentinels stared at a little fire in the darkness below the mountain, and more and more fire lights formed a fire dragon.

"Enemy attack, hit the gong!"

The sentinels frantically rang the gong in their hands.The sound of the gong resounded at the mountain gate, waking up the sleeping defenders, and hurriedly grabbed their weapons and came out of the cave.

Banner owner A Min came out of the military tent with red eyes: "Which mountain pass was attacked?"

"It's the southeast mountain pass. There's a fire over there, and there's the sound of artillery!" A lieutenant general on duty at night rushed to report.

"You led the three Niu Lus to rush over to reinforce... No, the Liao Army has always been cunning, and they will not reveal their attack direction so easily. Maybe it's just their plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Go and observe again, and look at the Liao Army. How about the strength of the troops at the southeast mountain gate!" Amin was frightened into a cold sweat by himself.

At the mountain gate in the southeast, as the fire dragon appeared, the cannons began to roar, causing the mountain to tremble, and many loose stones rolled down.

The defenders of the mountain gate were stunned and confused by the artillery.Niu Luezhen, who was defending the mountain gate, asked the surrounding Eight Banners troops for help.

Just when the defenders were in a panic, a group of soldiers with better night vision were selected after holding bayonets. At this time, they broke away from the artillerymen holding torches and merged into the night.

"The Fu Liao army is coming!" When the group of soldiers in charge of the raid was only a few dozen steps away from the mountain gate, with the help of the light from the lighted torches, they discovered the raid troops who had escaped from the artillery.

"Kill!" The Liao army who was discovered charged forward with a bayonet, like a sharp knife inserted into the mountain gate.

The distance of dozens of steps, whether it is long or short, Jianzhou's bowstring is like a full moon, and the flying arrows took the lives of the charging infantry of the Liao Army.On the narrow mountain road, almost every step forward, a soldier fell into a pool of blood.

"Banner Master, something is wrong. The Fuliao Army has already fought with the defenders of the southeast mountain gate. The Fuliao army has invested a large number of troops. If there is no reinforcement, the southeast mountain gate will fall!" The general in the outer city rushed to Neicheng reported to Amin with a mournful face.

"It seems that I was worrying too much. The southeast mountain gate is the main attack direction of the Fuliao army. You can go to the southeast mountain gate for reinforcements at a speed of three cattle. Be sure to defend the mountain gate!" Amin hurriedly asked the deputy general to lead the few people in the inner city. A batch of fresh troops rushed to the southeast mountain gate.

The deputy general led hundreds of troops to join the melee at the southeast mountain gate, condescendingly taking advantage of the terrain to rush down, fighting with their backs, they even killed the Liao army back, and gradually regained the dangerous land at the southeast mountain gate.

As the yelling and killing at the southeast mountain gate gradually subsided, Amin calmed down a little. With a dry mouth, he scooped a spoonful of water into the water tank to quench his thirst.

boom!There was an explosion on the mountain pass in the southwest, A Min shook his hand, the wooden spoon fell to the ground, and the well water spilled all over the ground.

"Banner Master, the Southwest Mountain Pass exploded, it exploded!" The surrounding generals shouted in horror.

"Nonsense, my eyes are not blind!" Amin saw a fire emanating from the southwest mountain pass.Billowing black smoke curled up and merged into the darkness.

His heart suddenly cooled down because of the fire.

"How many troops do we have in the inner city?!" Amin asked quickly.

"Report to the banner owner, there are only... four cattle records..."

"Send them all to the southwest mountain pass. This is the main direction of the Liao army's main attack. In addition, let the other two mountain passes send out a Niulu to defend the inner city!"

"Yes Yes……"

Amin's generals hurriedly dispersed to carry out his orders.

Standing on the top of the hill in the inner city, he felt uneasy when he saw the flames below him soaring into the sky.

boom!boom!boom!There were constant explosions at the southwestern mountain gate. This kind of explosion sound was more terrifying than the howling of artillery, and the mountain pass was blown out without warning.

Hundreds of Musketeers poured out in the dark night, and after the blasters carried out a series of blasts, they launched a strong attack on the Southwest Mountain Gate!Armed with bayonets, they covered the blasters and continued to advance, approaching the inner city of Xishan!
"The ambushes at Nanshan Pass should also be dispatched. This time we have plenty of troops to attack Sarhu, why do we need to play east and west? I am the main force on all three roads!" Mrs. Yang and Liu Xingzuo met when they saw the Sarhu mountain city that had been reduced to a sea of ​​flames. Smile.
