Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 261 Make Contributions, Just Tonight!
Toliti watched those soldiers from the Western Regions being shocked to death by the gunpowder package. The soldiers from the Western Regions within a few meters were also knocked to the ground by the shock wave. After struggling to get up, they staggered and became dizzy. There was a person who fell off the wall and fell to his death.

Even Toriti, who was far away, was also temporarily deaf by the huge explosion, and the humming echoed in his head!
Toriti had already estimated the power of the heartless cannon in his heart, but at this moment... he found that he still underestimated the horror of the heartless cannon!
tom—

Outside the Guancheng wall, the very characteristic firing sound of the heartless cannon sounded again.

Toretti temporarily lost his hearing and didn't hear the sound, but he saw the fireworks spouting from the muzzle, which was especially bright and dazzling in the night.

"Withdraw~! Withdraw~! Withdraw~!"

"Remove the wall to hide! Quickly remove the wall to hide!"

Toriti shouted at the top of his voice, and immediately ran towards the steps of the horse path under the cover of his personal guards.

As for the soldiers of the Western Regions who had fought old battles, they didn't need him to command at all. The moment they saw the muzzle flames light up outside the city again, all the soldiers of the Western Regions were already running wildly, trying to escape from the wall to save their lives. .

Even, these veterans are faster than Toriti and the guards!

The wall of Chiyanguan, which stretches across the canyon, is not very long in itself, so there are only two bridle steps to go up and down the city, which is enough for ordinary marching and retreating, as well as transporting troops and equipment.

But in the current situation, there are hundreds of people crowding up at the same time, scrambling to go down the city... It must be tight, even if there are a few more, they won't be able to squeeze in!
In the chaotic crowd, dozens of people suffered on the spot, or were squeezed down and trampled, or pushed off the wall, or squeezed so that they could not stand firmly, and rolled down the steps along the bridleway...

Struggling and howling, breaking my neck, bleeding from my head, and so on... It's so miserable!
It is also because of this that the second gunpowder bag here has not yet fallen, but it has already caused dozens of kills!
Toretti looked anxious and angry. He wanted to shout and curse to maintain order, but he himself was squeezed so hard to breathe. He opened his mouth again and again, but he couldn't make a decent sound, so he could only breathe desperately.

At this moment, it is even more impossible to draw the sword and kill people.

He barely touched the ground, he was "supported" by people on the left and right, and he was pushed off the wall. The guards were all scattered, and no one could see him.

tom tom tom—

Boom--! ! !
Boom--! ! !
Boom--! ! !
The unique firing sound of the heartless cannon, as well as the terrifying explosion of gunpowder packs, sounded outside the city and at the top of the city one after another.

Pata - Chi Chi -

Tori had lingering fears in his heart, and finally took a breath to join the guards, but there was a gunpowder bag, bursting into sparks, and fell into the closed wall.

Falling into the city, the city is still in shock!
Toriti and his personal guards suddenly opened their eyes wide in shock, and the picture almost froze on the spot.

The unconscionable cannon has the same ballistics as the mortar, but it is a curved cannon that can lob and attack hidden enemies on the reverse slope.

The gunners of the Qin Army found that the defenders at the head of the city were crowded down the city, so naturally they would not continue to shoot at the wall stupidly, and decisively adjusted the elevation angle of the muzzle, and shot the gunpowder pack into the other side of the wall.

Boom--! ! !
After a loud noise, the soldiers of the Western Regions who were still in shock were overturned again.

The rest completely collapsed, yelling and fleeing towards the back gate of Guancheng, looking ferocious and mad, like a lunatic.

choke-

puff--

Toriti reached out and pulled out the Qin-style battle sword, and chopped off the head of a bodyguard who was frantically trying to escape. In the rain of blood sprayed on his neck, he yelled murderously: "Those who escaped in battle will not be pardoned immediately~ !"

The guards were terrified, and returned to calm. After all, they are the elite among the elite, and they are both prosperous and injurious with Toriti. At the moment, they either draw their swords, or draw their bows and arrows, to kill those soldiers who are running madly: "All Go back... those who run away, cut them up... Go back and see who dares to escape~!"

Boom--! ! !
The gunpowder package was still falling into the closed wall and exploded, but the bloody massacre of the guards had an effect.

The personal guards are very experienced in killing deserters. Whoever escapes the fastest and the farthest will be killed. They are all leaders in their generation.

In this way, the leader was killed, and the rest naturally did not dare to run away!
The trend of fleeing was barely stopped, and Toliti took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Masters, this time the only way to survive is to stick to it!"

"If you escape, it will be a world of ice and snow when you leave this pass. No one can escape the pursuit of the Qin army and the Qiang cavalry..."

"If you stick to this night, reinforcements will arrive tomorrow!"

"The general who died in the battle tonight will definitely ask for credit and reward his parents and heirs with a lot of money..."

Boom--! ! !
Toriti's awe-inspiring roar, mixed with the deafening explosions, was amazingly calming. The terrified soldiers of the Western Regions gradually calmed down, and each of them looked for a bunker to huddle up to avoid the gunpowder bombardment.

Some soldiers even jumped into the pits created by the gunpowder packs to avoid the bombing.

After all, an old soldier is an old soldier. Once he calms down, he can always find the most correct way to save his life!
Seeing this, Tuoli couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but he was surprised immediately. He suddenly realized that the gunpowder packets fired by the Qin army fell into the wall one after another. All down.

What if the Qin army took advantage of the ladder and the ants climbed the wall?
Now no one is watching the Qin army outside the city!

"You guys go to Guancheng immediately and observe the movements of the Qin army outside the city."

Toriti pointed to several guards around him, and ordered urgently.

The guards who were pointed out immediately grinned when they heard the words, the top of the city was uncovered, and there was no place to hide under the bombardment of gunpowder kits, going up was tantamount to death!
"Are you even afraid?"

Seeing that they were not moving, Tori immediately frowned with thick eyebrows and said displeasedly.

The few personal guards are helpless, they can't be afraid, if they are afraid, how can they have the face to be personal guards, and enjoy the preferential treatment and honor envied by ordinary soldiers.

Taking care of them is for this kind of critical moment!
Therefore, several relatives had no choice but to bite the bullet and climbed up the gate of the wall along the steps of the horse path again.

As Toretti expected, when the Qin army's cannons were slowly firing into the closed wall one by one, the other Qin army soldiers and Qiang soldiers had already destroyed the traps outside the wall, and the trenches were also used. Snow has filled in several passages.

In addition, several Qiang people carried large shields to cover the two Qin troops. They had already passed the trench and were quickly approaching the city gate suspension bridge...

Cao Shen has a cautious side, but when it is time to take the initiative, he will never waste a great opportunity.

The talent of his generals may not be comparable to the dazzling Xiang Yu and Han Xin, but he ranks second among the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty.

Speaking of which, his strategy is very similar to Qin Mo's, to win steadily!
"Qin Jun wants to blow up the city gate with firearms..."

"Shoot 'em..."

Several of Toriti's personal guards saw the Qiang people and Qin army approaching the city gate drawbridge, and also saw the gunpowder packs they were carrying. They shouted in surprise and informed Toriti inside the wall, Zhang Gong set up an arrow and shoot to block it.

shhhhh--

Duo duo--

ding ding-

Feather arrows shot down, or were blocked by the Qiang people's large shields, or blocked by their iron armor, but they couldn't stop them.

The crossbowmen of the Qin Army discovered the guards, and immediately shot at the head of the city to cover the robe that blasted the city gate.

However, several of Toriti's personal guards were also equipped with excellent armor, unless they could hit the front door, they would not be able to form effective kills at all.

The gunner team of the Qin Army quickly adjusted the unconscionable cannon and aimed the muzzle at the few Toriti personal guards.

At the same time, seeing that the bows and arrows could not stop the Qiang people and the Qin army who bombed the city gate, several Toliti personal guards also changed their tactics, throwing away the bows and arrows in their hands, and turned to using rolling logs, stones, gray bottles, golden juice, etc. Defending the city equipment, desperately throwing and splashing down to greet.

These are all the defense equipment that were prepared during the previous acting. If the Qin army was planning to attack the city, it was originally intended to kill the Qin army, but now it just comes in handy!

bang——

click-

The Qiang people who were covering the two Qin troops suddenly suffered casualties. The large shield in their hands was smashed to pieces by the rolling wood and stones due to the acceleration of gravity.

Especially the gray bottle and golden juice, such insidious things to guard the city, caused the Qiang people to complain even more.

The white powder and dust splashed down, making it difficult to walk if the eyes were blinded, and the golden juice was even more scalding to death, and one wanted to roll all over the floor after being stained.

The Qiang people were killed or injured, so they couldn't cover the two Qin soldiers in all directions. One of the Qin soldiers also fell, and the hot golden juice dripped on his shoulders, and he fell to the ground in pain and howled.

"Give me the shield, you guys retreat~!"

Zhou Bo put on the goggles, snatched a large shield from the Qiang people, held the large shield above his head with one hand, held a gunpowder bag in the other, and rushed towards the city gate holding his breath.

As a solo soldier, his speed suddenly increased, and it was not easy for rolling logs and stones to hit him who was flexible.

As for the boiling hot gold juice splashed on the fan, it was also blocked by the big shield he held above his head, so it couldn't scald him.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Bo rushed to the city gate with the gunpowder bag in his arms!

Several of Toriti's personal guards were in a hurry, and together they raised a huge mace and were about to throw it down.

Boom--! ! !
A gunpowder package fired by an unscrupulous cannon blew up the dilapidated city gate behind several guards, and the shock wave would also work together to lift up the guards who were shot by the spikes and fly directly to the top of the city.

Zhou Bo heard the movement above his head, so frightened, he stood up straight against the wall of Guancheng, trying his best to avoid it.

boom--

puff-

puff-

puff-

The huge and heavy mace fell almost close to Zhou Bo's nose, and slammed on his feet, followed by the bodies of several Toliti's personal guards, which fell heavily on the snow like rag bags.

As well as the broken rocks and broken wood from the blown-up city gate tower, they fell to the ground with a crackling sound!
Zhou Bo broke into a cold sweat from fright, but he didn't dare to be negligent. Seeing that there was no debris falling, he immediately brought the gunpowder bag in his arms to his mouth, and bit the fuze down fiercely.

Then, he stuffed it into the crack under the city gate with all his strength, and ran back, using all his strength to suck his feet, his legs were twitching wildly.

……

On the Guancheng, Tuoliti led dozens of guards and rushed to the top of the city, but only saw the bombed city gate tower.

Looking down the city, there are several dead guards.

And Zhou Bo was running back and forth among their corpses!
When Toriti saw Zhou Bo running back, he immediately understood that the Qin army might have placed the firearms under the city gate.

This made him helpless and angry, he immediately gritted his teeth, drew his bow and arrow viciously, and shot an arrow towards Zhou Bo's back.

Then, he yelled anxiously into the closed wall: "The city gate is about to be blasted open, and we are going to seal it with sandbags, rolling logs and stones..."

Boom--! ! !
Before he could finish yelling a complete sentence, there was already a sky-shattering explosion at the city gate.

The city gate made of spliced ​​logs is very strong, but under the tremendous power of the gunpowder pack, and the blast stuffed under the gate, it is really difficult to resist.

Although it was not directly destroyed, a big hole was created, enough to accommodate several people in parallel!
Toliti barely stabilized his figure, desperate in his heart, but he continued to calmly shout to the soldiers of the Western Regions inside the closed wall: "Immediately use sand bags and rolling logs and rocks to completely seal the city gates! The doorway is sealed~!"

Blocking the gates of the city is the best strategy when defending the city.

Because the combination of offense and defense is the correct way to open the city. If you block the city gates for attack, you will reduce the pressure on the siege army.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the city gates cannot be closed.

But now, not only is it a last resort, but it is also urgent. It is also the first time he has come into contact with firearms today, and he has never thought that firearms can be used to blast the city gate...

If he had known about the various uses of firearms earlier, he would have ordered the city gates to be completely sealed during the day!
His order was conveyed, and the soldiers of the Western Regions inside the closed wall immediately carried bags of sand, or rolled logs and rocks, and rushed into the hole in the city gate, trying to block the hole in the city gate first.

"Gunners, crossbowmen... Aim at that hole for us, and shoot right into it~!"

Cao Shen waved his saber, pointed at the huge hole in the city gate, and shouted excitedly.

shhhhh--

Puff puff--

The crossbowmen of the Qin army, who had been ready to go for a long time, immediately shot wildly into the hole in the city gate. In the dark door opening, there were immediately the sound of feathers and arrows entering the flesh, as well as muffled screams.

tom tom tom—

The unconscionable cannon also quickly adjusted the firing angle, and fired powder packs into the hole in the city gate.

Rumble——!!!
The sound of a huge explosion echoed in the city gate hole, and the flames produced by the explosion spewed out from the hole in the city gate.

This time there was no screaming, as long as the soldiers of the Western Regions were in the city gate, they were all smashed to pieces.

Cao Shen, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, rushed forward first.

Behind them, the guards of the Qin Army and the [-] Qiang warriors launched a charge. At this time, a group rushed into the city gate, and the city was considered broken.

Who doesn't want the power to break the city? !
"Get up, don't crash to death, rush with me, make contributions, just tonight."

On the way of Cao Shen's charge, he woke up with a kick, and before he could escape, Zhou Bo, who was stunned by the gunpowder bag, continued to charge forward.

Zhou Bo shook his head violently, and after seeing the big hole in the city gate clearly, he couldn't help grinning.

Breaking through tonight, being the first to ascend, belongs to him!
