Chapter 847: Bombardment of the Heavenly Pass (Fourth Watch)


Li Zhi was accompanied by Li Tai and Wei Chigong, and Xu Maogong.

Ascended to the command podium inside the camp.

It is a wooden platform that is more than four feet high.

Standing on the high platform, you can see everything in the battlefield.

Li Zhi had never climbed so high, if he had to climb it on his own.

I'm afraid I'm scared before I can climb halfway.

However, fortunately, there is a lifting basket on this command platform, and as long as people sit in the lifting basket, a soldier will use a rope winch to send it to the top of the control tower.

Therefore, Li Zhi also climbed the command platform very easily, and the area on this command platform is five or six square meters.

So the four of them don't look crowded when they stand on it.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, with this command tower, it is even more convenient to command the whole army.

I'm afraid that apart from Momen, there is really no one who can make such a huge assembly tower.

Xu Mao said openly.

"The military advisor is right, this command tower is specially prepared for this king by the Momen Gao family.

When not in use, it can be disassembled and dispersed, and when it is used, it can be assembled.

Li Tai nodded and said.

"Brother Huang, I have never been so high.

I didn't expect to watch the battlefield from this high place, it felt really different.

Li Zhi said excitedly.

"The emperor must be careful, wait for what happens, I'm afraid it will surprise the emperor.

Therefore, it is necessary for the minister to say hello to the emperor in advance.

Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

"Brother Huang doesn't have to worry about me, everything is as it should be.

If I can't even bear the shock of a war, then what qualifications do I have to be the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi said arrogantly.

Seeing that Li Zhi was so arrogant, Li Tai didn't say anything.

Pick up a signal and pull the lead into the sky.

With a huge flame blooming in the sky, the siege battle of the Heavenly Pass has officially begun.

Xu Liang also received the order as soon as possible.

As with attacking the Jiepai Pass, Xu Liang still divided the hundred red-clothed cannons into five batches.

Take turns to launch artillery attacks on Jietian Pass.

As the first round of shelling began, Li Zhi's mouth was already closed.

Li Zhi never expected that these iron lumps in front of him would have such great power.

In the process of hypothetical assumption, Li Zhi had already seen it.

At the time, it was not known what these redcoat cannons were for.

However, because of his face, he didn't ask, so naturally he didn't know what it was for.

I never thought it would have so much power.

Xu Liang didn't care whether Li Zhi was shocked or not, but continued to command the artillery battalion and launched an artillery bombardment towards Jietianguan.

At this time, Duan Jiucheng in the Tianguan naturally received a report, so he hurriedly led his troops to the city wall, wanting to see what kind of weapon the other party used.

To say that this section also has a bit of eyesight, when he sees these red-clothed cannons.

I knew that if these red-coated cannons were not destroyed, this Heavenly Pass would not be able to hold it no matter what.

So he opened his mouth and said to the lieutenant general beside him: "Send cavalry to attack immediately, and destroy those fire-breathing things on the opposite side at any cost." ” "Master Chief, now the city gate has been blocked.

There was no way for the cavalry to get out of the city.

The deputy general said while covering Duan Jiucheng's lower city wall.

At this time, Jiucheng remembered that he had ordered the city gate to be blocked.

Now it's unrealistic to dig up the city gate again, so I can only sigh helplessly.

At this time, the entire city wall has been blown to the ground, and it is estimated that in a while, the entire city wall will be blown to collapse.

If this city wall collapses, then this heavenly pass will really be unbearable.

So Duan Jiu gave an order and ordered all the defenders and civilians on the city wall to quickly go down to the city.

After all, even if they stayed on the city walls, they would not be of the slightest use.

It is better to withdraw them all, so as not to increase the casualties.

Seeing that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians had withdrawn from the city wall, Duan Jiucheng opened his mouth and said: "Lead all the soldiers and civilians to withdraw from Jietianguan and retreat to Suoyang City." ” "Master Commander, if we give up the Heavenly Pass now, how will we explain to the Generalissimo when we go back.

When the time comes, the Generalissimo will certainly cure us for the crime of dereliction of duty and fear of the enemy.

The adjutant general said to Duan Jiucheng.

"The marshal knows that the other party has such a weapon, so naturally he won't blame you and me.

And we must tell the marshal the news, otherwise not only will we not be able to hold the Heavenly Pass, but even Suoyang City will be difficult to protect.

Duan Jiucheng said.

At that moment, a loud bang was heard.

A large part of the city wall collapsed, and the moat was filled in.

With the collapse of the first section of the wall, a large area of the wall began to collapse.

At the same time, the attack of the red-coated artillery also stopped.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Duan Jiucheng shouted heartbreakingly: "Hurry up and withdraw from Jietian Pass, the Tang army is about to attack."

If you don't leave, it's really too late. ” Seeing the current situation, those lieutenants naturally knew that Jietianguan couldn't stand it.

So he ordered the Xiliang army to quickly withdraw from Jietianguan.

At this time, Qin Huaiyu and the others had already begun to attack.

Before their men could rush into the gate, grenades were thrown in.

An explosion came from the crowd of Xiliang soldiers.

With it came a flood of stumps and broken arms.

At this time, even if Duan Jiucheng did not order the withdrawal of the army, I am afraid that the Xiliang soldiers would flee.

"General Luo, it seems that as expected by His Royal Highness, Duan Jiu, who took over the Tianguan, chose to retreat to Suoyang City."

Li Tianming stood on a high place and looked at the Tianguan, and said to Luo Huan beside him.

"Li Tianming, you said that the lord will let us more than 100 people intercept Duan Jiucheng.

How can I complete the task of the lord," Luo Huan looked at Li Tianming and said.

"Don't General Luo have confidence in the combat effectiveness of the armor-piercing army, don't forget that you still have front-loading smoothbore muskets and inexhaustible grenades behind you."

Li Tianming said to Luo Huan with a smile.

"You kid don't play sloppy with me, hurry up and transfer your people out.

My lord won't let me bring someone to die.

Luo Huan said after giving Li Tianming a blank look.

"It's worthy of being the senior brother of His Royal Highness, I thought of it a long time ago, and the Star Secret Guard will also come."

Li Tianming said to Luo Song with a smile.

Then Li Tianming ordered all the secret guards of the stars to appear.

I saw them carrying wooden boxes and running from not far away.

"If I'm not mistaken, these weapons in wooden boxes are the real hole cards of the lord.

It seems that in this blocking battle, you star guards are the main force.

Our armour-breaking army is just the icing on the cake.

Luo Huan pointed to the wooden box and said to Li Tianming.

"This time I really let General Luo guess correctly, this time the main force that blocked Duan Jiucheng is indeed our Star Secret Guard."

Li Tianming smiled and said.

Then he began to order the Nakshatra Guards to set up the battlefield.

Three Maxim heavy machine guns, and three 60 mortars, were placed on the battlefield
