The last three kingdoms

Chapter 448 The Power of Firearms
Ajian's battle to capture Jigong Mountain was extremely easy.There was originally a team of Wei Jun stationed here on Jigong Mountain, about 50 people, and Li Fu sent these 50 people there, mainly for the purpose of patrolling and observing.Although Jigong Mountain is much higher than Yang'an Pass, there is a distance of tens of feet between the two. Li Fu is not afraid that the Shu army will occupy Jigong Mountain. Even if they reach the top of the mountain, they can fly Can't cross?
In the middle of the night, A Jian led dozens of strong and skilled fighters to sneak up the mountain. The mountain road of Jigong Mountain was extremely steep, but for A Jian and the others, it was like walking on flat ground. Next, A Jian and others climbed up to the top of the mountain as quietly as cheetahs.

Except for one sentry, the other 49 Wei soldiers were all asleep, and A Jian sneaked up to the sentry with a few brisk ups and downs.

For the sentinel, he only felt a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes, and before he could react, he felt a chill in his throat, and he didn't even make a sound, he was already dead.

After killing the sentinel, the next action will be easier. A Jian made a light gesture, and dozens of guards found their own targets, and got into several tents.

"Puchi! Puchi!" A few sounds of sharp weapons penetrating through the body came, and they could be heard very clearly on the dark and silent mountain top. Occasionally, there was only a scream of dying, but these voices soon disappeared. Annihilated in the night, only boundless darkness and boundless tranquility remain.

A Jian ordered to dispose of the fifty corpses, and at dawn, bring all the firearms department to the top of the mountain.

The firearms department is an expansion of the original firearms song. It is equipped with a large number of various firearms. These gunpowder weapons are sealed and stored in large wooden boxes, and they have to be carried up the mountain one by one until the firearms department is completely on the top. , After completing the deployment, it is already bright and the sun is rising.

In the past three days, the Shu army has successively launched round after round of fierce offensives against Yang'an Pass City. Every day, they launched attacks almost before dawn, and did not withdraw until dusk to stop fighting. Although Li Fu repelled again and again The Shu army attacked, but the pressure he was under was also very great, which left Li Fu with almost no time to breathe, and went all out to fight.

However, the attack of the Shu army seems to be a bit late today. It is already at sunrise. Li Fu has not heard any movement in the camp of the Shu army. Wei Ke, is this the rhythm of taking a break?
Logically speaking, it should not be. Li Fu understands the current situation. He believes that Liu Yin understands better. Once reinforcements from the Wei army arrive, the situation on the battlefield will be reversed in an instant. Only Yang'an Pass can take the initiative on the battlefield, and Li Fu's duty is to defend Yang'an Pass with all his might, until the arrival of reinforcements from Governor Zhonghui.

At this critical moment, the Shu army suddenly stopped attacking, which made Li Fu deeply baffled.

"General Qi, last night, the Shu army suddenly sent a force to seize Jigong Mountain." A general reported to Li Fu.

Li Fu couldn't help frowning, and his eyes turned to Jigong Mountain. Jigong Mountain is not low. Li Fu needs to look up to see the situation on the mountain clearly. Sure enough, what caught his eyes was the military flag of the Shu people. , a big "Han" character, there are only a few patrolling sentries on the top of the mountain. If the Shu army comes to attack with all its strength, Jigong Mountain will definitely not be able to defend.

"Since it was lost last night, why did you come to report it now?" Li Fu said sternly.

The general was at a loss for words for a while, hesitantly didn't know how to respond. In fact, they didn't think too much about whether Jigong Mountain fell or not, otherwise they wouldn't have sent only 50 people to garrison.

Li Fu only spoke harshly, and did not pursue the responsibility of his subordinates. He also knew very well that even if the Shu army captured Jigong Mountain, it would not hurt the overall situation. He did not believe that the Wei army could do much on Jigong Mountain. .

"Boom!" At this moment, a thing in the shape of a bamboo tube flew down from the top of the mountain, and landed directly on the city wall of Yang'an Pass, only ten feet away from Li Fu. Suddenly, an explosion occurred, and the flames In the midst of the thick smoke, half of the nearest Wei soldier was blown away, bloody and bloody.

Li Fu was standing far away, but the shock wave brought by the explosion hit his face like a gust of wind, almost blowing Li Fu down.

Li Fu was taken aback, and looked up. He dared to believe that it was the Shu army who occupied Jigong Mountain. It was the first time he had seen such a formidable weapon. If the Shu army occupied Jigong Mountain, Xiang Yangan It is really difficult to drop more bombs on Guancheng.

"Fire the arrows!" Li Fu checked with his eyes. From the top of Guancheng to the top of Jigong Mountain, there was at least one arrow's distance away. He immediately ordered to shoot the arrows, and launched a long-range counterattack against the Shu army on the hill.

For a while, arrows flew like flying, but they could only barely hit the top of the mountain. A Jian had already ordered some big stones to be piled up on the side of the top of the mountain to prevent Wei Jun's arrows from counterattacking.

Those stone piles were really effective. Wei Jun's arrows jingled on the rocks, and not even a single Shu soldier was injured.

The explosion just now was A Jian’s experiment, to see how far the maximum throwing distance of the bamboo tube grenade was, tried it, it was really good, now the Shu army is condescending, as long as the grenade is thrown far into the air, and then with the free fall Inertia, falling on the top of the city is not a big problem at all.

A Jian immediately ordered that all the firearms troops enter the link of free bombing, one after another bamboo grenades roared and flew towards the city of Yang'an Pass, and the gunpowder arrows with long tail flames flew towards the city densely. Shoot at the head of the city.

Soon the entire city of Yang'an Pass was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and there were violent explosions one after another. After each sound, there must be screams of ghosts and wolves from the Wei army. These powerful weapons are by no means what armor and shields can resist , where the gunpowder smoke filled the air, limbs and arms were broken, flesh and blood were flying, and the deafening sound was mixed with countless screams, and the entire city of Yang'an became a place of terror of death.

Li Fu was dumbfounded at the time, he really figured out where the Shu army got such an amazingly powerful weapon, it almost brought destructive lethality, and flattened the entire city of Yang'an Pass.

With the help of his own soldiers, Li Fu escaped from this purgatory on earth. From the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but feel a bit of coolness. Yang'an Pass may not be able to guard it anymore.
