Chapter 601 Great Battle ([-])

Linyu Pass

The emperor of the imperial capital was immersed in the joy of the "great victory in the sea battle", and thought that the generals of Linyu Pass wanted to support the bandits, so he put pressure on the generals of Linyu Pass, asking them to fight hard and capture Shanhaiguan immediately.

"The son of the king of the mountain has made unrivaled military exploits, but Qing and others have stopped at Shanhaiguan. I am really disappointed!"

In the imperial decree, Emperor Yang Guang kept urging the generals in Shanhaiguan to speed up the attack, and said that he would take time to come to Shanhaiguan...to personally supervise the battle!
"The son of the backer king is really the dragon and phoenix among my Sui people!"

Yu Wenshu didn't know the real situation of the naval battle, so he could only choose to believe in the emperor's decree, thinking that Yang Xuangan had achieved an epic victory in the naval battle.

"Director Yang has just finished the naval battle, and he still needs to cultivate for a while. After a while, he should be able to launch an attack on Yandu. At that time, the defenders at the Shanhaiguan Customs of Yan Kingdom must return to defend Yandu. At that time, we can take the opportunity Conquer Shanhaiguan, cooperate with Director Yang, and put Yan Guo in a double trap!"

"Yeah yeah!"

All the Shanhaiguan generals admired Yang Xuangan, thinking that he was the son of a general.

The crowd attacked Shanhaiguan for more than half a month, and launched three attacks every day, but there was not much progress. Not even a single Yan soldier was killed. Up to one hundred thousand.

This was the most embarrassing battle they had ever fought. More than 6 people were killed without even touching the shadow of the enemy.

The pontoon bridge was vulnerable to the flint of Yan State, and was sunk as soon as it was built.

As for the little Qinhuangdao next to it?There is not even a way up the mountain, and the sentinel of Yan Kingdom climbed the cliff in advance.

"Damn it, how did the people of Yan manage to build watchtowers on the cliffs without building roads?"

"And what's even more weird is that the Yan Kingdom sentries on the watchtower seem to have never come down. Don't they need food and water?"

The generals in Shanhaiguan didn’t know that every night, Yan’s headquarters in Shanhaiguan would transport food and fresh water in the air through high-altitude cableways, so that the Yan’s sentries in the cliff watchtower could live without going down the mountain to take turns. down.

They even have bamboo beds, bamboo chairs, bamboo tables, paper, ink, pens and inkstones, wool quilts, wool cushions in the watchtower, and there are detachable windows around the watchtower, which are usually dismantled to broaden the view , When it rains, the window on the side where the rain falls will be covered.

There are a total of four sentries living in the Qinhuangdao watchtower, and each sentry takes turns to be on duty for three hours, closely watching the Sui army at Linyu Wharf across the strait.

However, there is no road to this watchtower, and the Sui army has no way to break through it, so they can only watch the watchtower's Yan Guo sentry monitor them openly.

"According to the law of previous years, the tide will ebb in a few days. We will continue to persevere." Yu Wenshu comforted everyone, and then ordered to continue crossing the sea to attack Shanhaiguan.

There is no way, the emperor's order must continue to attack, if it stops, it will be suspected of raising the bandits' self-respect.

Due to the sneak attack troops who smuggled into Luotuoping, the smuggling failed all the time. After five consecutive failures, Yu Wenshu simply stopped smuggling, and silently scolded Deng Ai a hundred times in his heart.

three days later

The seawater finally ebbed, and the ground of the strait leading to Shanhaiguan was exposed.

Most of the corpses of the Sui army and the rafts that sank to the bottom of the sea were swept away by the low tide, and only the heavy flint and some of the corpses of the Sui army remained on the bottom of the sea.

However, even so, on the exposed ground of the strait, there are still many corpses of the Sui Army, and many small animals on the seabed, which have not been swept away by the sea, are gnawing on the corpses of the Sui Army, and even the face of a Sui Army officer has already Dozens of barnacles and iron nematodes were parasitized, and strips of white worms came out of the nostrils, which was very scary.

"Soldiers, it's the right day to be loyal to the country and make contributions!"

Yu Wenshu gave an order, and the soldiers of the Sui Army launched a charge.

This time, they finally didn't need to row a boat, and they could walk directly on the land. The pile of rotting corpses of comrades-in-arms on the land was really disgusting.

Since it is a land attack, it can accommodate more people, and can accommodate 5000 people to attack at the same time.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Sui army carried the ladders and charged towards the shore of Shanhaiguan.

On the shore, hundreds of [Fire Gun Shield Vehicles] have been waiting for a long time.

From the moment the sea tide ebbed, the head of the Shanhaiguan Customs knew that the situation of continuing to easily defend the coast as before would not happen, and it was the turn of Yan Kingdom's latest killer weapon to appear.

The so-called firecracker shield car is actually a combination of firecracker and shield car. A row of fixed firecrackers is installed on the shield car inlaid with iron, which can not only block the enemy's arrows and cavalry, but also launch firecrackers to counterattack incidentally. Offensive and defensive integration.

These gun shield carts are small two-wheeled carts, and there are wooden forks on the push handles that can be fixed in the ground so that the shield carts will not slip away on the downhill road.

One soldier loads the gunpowder and stones, and another soldier sets it on fire.

Bang bang bang!
All of a sudden, the firecrackers were fired, and many soldiers of the Sui Army who were climbing the ladder were shot in the face with the firecracker ammunition, and the stones were blasted into their faces hard, blowing them beyond recognition.

"what!"

"Ahhh!—"

There were miserable screams one after another. This was the first time that the soldiers of the Sui army felt the horror of this new weapon.

However, the reloading speed of the firecrackers of this period was very slow.

Therefore, after three rounds of firing, the coastal defense line formed by the gun shield vehicles was finally broken by the Sui army soldiers.

More and more soldiers of the Sui army climbed the ladders, boarded the coast, and pushed away the firearms shield vehicles blocking the way.

Finally, they finally landed on the coast, and finally saw the bunkers in front of them up close!
After more than 20 days of death charge, they paid a heavy price and finally successfully landed!

Although this is only the first step, it is what they have sacrificed countless lives for.

However, because there were so many glass shards and caltrops on the shore, after they climbed the ladder, they had to jump to a place on the bank where there were no caltrops, so as not to be pierced by the caltrops through the soles of their feet.

Some with poor jumping ability, or accidentally tripped over the ladder, fell into the glass shards, and were pierced by glass shards and barbed wire.

As for the gunners of Yan State who operated the gunshield chariot, they were ordered by the Shanhaiguan general as early as when the Sui army was about to rush up: the gunmen immediately gave up the gunshield chariot and returned to the Shanhaiguan headquarters.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Sui Army came ashore, the gunners of Yan State had long since disappeared, leaving a pile of heavy gun shield vehicles blocking the way.

Although they landed ashore with untold hardships, what awaited them was a group of bunkers that were more terrifying than the death charge across the sea before.
