Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 553 Tongguan Annihilating the Enemy
Tang Lan said at this time: "Musketeers! Go!"

Immediately, hundreds of soldiers took the three-eyed guns and started to fight down the city.

The power of this thing designed by Zhuge Qingyun is sufficient, but it is very troublesome to load, because gunpowder needs to be loaded after each use, although it can be made up by manpower, the method of changing two groups of people.

But Tang Lan still feels that this thing is not as effective in close combat as conventional things such as rolling logs and stones. However, Tang Lan is still very optimistic about this "Three-eyed Gun", at least it can be used as a blueprint, and then upgraded.

Although this thing is not very good, it still repelled the attack of the Mongolian army this time.After these several attacks, the Mongols have suffered two or three thousand casualties.

At this time, the guard of Chang'an was extremely anxious. They were defeated this time, but he didn't want to just leave in such a desperate manner.

If they just withdraw like this, it will have a great impact on morale, and secondly, he doesn't want to just accept his fate.

However, he did not launch a new attack, but chose to retreat a few miles and correct on the spot.Then discuss the combat strategy with the commanders under his command.

This also gave Tang Lan and the others on the city wall a little time to recover.

At this time, the Mongolian remnants are being cleaned up in Chang'an City.Tongguan is engaged in a battle that will determine success or failure.And Li Qingwei just fell asleep after the "Three Stars with the Moon" in Longqin Juzhong.

After several offensive setbacks, the Mongols rested until dawn.

And Tang Lan had already recognized the reality of the opponent, so she asked people to put all the straw figures in front, and except for the "artillerymen" and some crossbowmen, they all retreated to rest.

Because there is no need for so many people now, and she wants to give the Mongols a "hope", that is the illusion of "the advantage is in me" of tens of thousands to hundreds.

Otherwise, they will discuss and discuss, and they have no choice but to withdraw.

Although Tang Lan's mission goal is to stick to Tongguan and give Zhuge Qingyun the opportunity and time to capture Chang'an City, but if he can wipe them out on a large scale on the spot, it can be regarded as "grabbing grass and beating rabbits" by the way.

Tang Lan counted his remaining firearms while the Mongols were recuperating. There were nearly [-] rounds of rockets, large and small, and a small half of them would be enough to wipe out them.

Although we don't know how many enemies will attack in the future, all firearms should be used sparingly, so as not to use up all the firearms when the enemy attacks, and there is no way to protect ourselves.

But Tang Lan is very clear that only by "destroying a large number of enemies can you better protect yourself." It is not because you are afraid of being wiped out by the enemy that you want to preserve your strength to the maximum extent.

Only when a large number of enemies are eliminated, the enemy will be forced by the coercion of your weapons, so that they will not dare to attack easily.

This is called "strategic deterrence."

Of course, these are what Li Qingwei told them.Tang Lan half-understood, but still remembered something.And Zhuge Qingyun's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Soon, with a rooster crowing, that round of tomorrow will rise from the east again.

At this time, all the affairs in Chang'an City are basically over, Zhuge Qingyun has completely controlled Chang'an City, and those who should be arrested and killed are almost finished.

And many people in Chang'an City didn't even know what happened.

Although they knew about the "chaos" last night, these ordinary people have learned to "be alone" in this chaotic world. It's not their own business. They don't care about it, and they don't know how to ask about it.

They all live by the principle of "one thing more is worse than one thing less".

Zhuge Qingyun stayed up all night. On the one hand, it was based on his excitement of completely controlling Chang'an City. On the other hand, there were too many kinds of work. It was a very complicated job just to check the family property that was confiscated. , law and order, taxation and so on.

Right now he is the only one doing it himself, not even a temporary "transitional government".

His eyes were bloodshot, but he was still not tired, just silently dealing with his own affairs.

He was basking in the joy of the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish for many years.

Now I just wait for the defenders in the Chang'an area to be wiped out, and then move all my troops into Chang'an and Tongguan.

Afterwards, as long as Dongchu and Li Qingwei joined forces and wiped out the vital forces of the Mongols in Guanluo in Jackal Valley, their foundation would be considered established.

After dawn, the Mongolian scouts came to report again.

"My lord, we have been deceived. The walls of Tongguan are full of straw people, not real people. Moreover, the number of troops stationed there must be less than a thousand."

The Chang'an guard just now and his commanders were still struggling with tactical planning, and when they heard the report of the investigation, they suddenly became happy.

Although I feel annoyed and angry about the "lie report" of the previous visit.But now is not the time for accountability either.

He immediately asked his commanders of thousands and centurions to boost morale, telling everyone that there were only less than a thousand defenders at the gate.

There were more than 1 of them, and they were trampled to death.

Soon the military order was passed on to each battalion, and the morale of the Mongols, which had been low just now, suddenly rose.

After that, under the deployment of the commanders, the Mongols immediately organized a new round of attack.

Tang Lan also stayed up all night, and her eyes were bloodshot. At this time, Duan Yunxian handed her a cup of Xuefeng camellia, a special product of Lingjiu Palace, to refresh her.

Duan Yunxian asked at this time: "How is the situation?"

After Tang Lan drank the tea, she recovered a little. She rubbed her eyes lightly and said, "As expected, the Mongols saw that we didn't have many troops shut down. They are organizing a new round of attack."

"Commander Duan, you go and send an order to order all the artillerymen to cheer up. We will win this battle and completely defeat this Mongolian army!"

After Duan Yunxian got the order, he immediately went to deliver the order.

Soon, the vanguard of the new round of Mongol attack arrived at a place less than one kilometer away from the city wall, and they were about to charge the next moment.

Tang Lan looked at these Mongolian soldiers who came to seek death, and sneered.

She calculated the range of the "rocket" and took aim with a saccade.

Seeing that these Mongols have all entered "within range".

Before the Mongols were ready, Tang Lan immediately ordered: "The rockets are ready! Let them go!"

As soon as Tang Lan's words fell, hundreds of rockets covered the sky, roaring and smashing towards the Mongolian camp.

The Mongols were immediately frightened by the "buzzing" sound, and they didn't know what these things were flying towards them.

When these things landed, they understood, but it was too late, and they could only ask their "Longevity Heaven" what it was.

The rockets poured at an astonishing speed, and the small ones were still placed on the launcher. After the first round, the engineers had already loaded the second launcher.

While the rockets on the second launcher were fired, the first one was reloaded.

It was also the first time for Tang Lan to see with his own eyes how powerful the rockets he developed were.

Only two rounds of pouring, the Mongols have lost more than half.And a lot of people are scared out of their wits by this thing.

At this time, Duan Yunxian came to Tang Lan's side, and she said: "To capture the thief, first capture the king. If you can knock down the "general flag" on the opposite side, then the opponent's morale will definitely be frustrated."
