Chapter five hundred and seventy fourth: One drum down(1/2)
"Hold on tight and watch your step!"
Just as Wang Bing was attracting the attention of the rebels guarding the pass with artillery fire, on both sides of Loushang Pass, under the leadership of Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu, the white-pole soldiers divided into two groups were also trying hard to climb the steep mountain wall.
.
As Wang Bing expected, in such a climb, the hook gun attached to the white pole soldier played a great role.
Therefore, even the cliff on the right side of Loushanguan that Ma Qiancheng led the group to climb still did not stop them from climbing.
Compared with the cliff on the right, the Golden Mountain on the left side of Loushanguan is relatively gentle. There is no need to connect the hook gun to help, just dragging the mountain vine branches, this white pole army is already in Qin Liangyu
Under his leadership, he quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and stepped on Loushanguan under his feet.
"Everyone, take a rest. When the general and others arrive, we will launch an attack from both sides at the same time!"
Qin Liangyu, who climbed up the mountain first, did not launch an attack immediately, but looked at the climbing team looming on the opposite cliff with a tender and worried look.
"Haha, don't worry, eldest sister. Although my brother-in-law can't compare with you in martial arts, how can he be troubled by this trivial matter of climbing mountains and ridges? What's more, there are my second brother and my younger brother who are also here!"
Just when Qin Liangyu looked worriedly at the cliff opposite, a general who looked a few years older than Qin Liangyu looked over.
"Brother! Who is worried about him? I am afraid that he has wasted time and the champion will be blamed by then..."
Hearing his eldest brother's teasing, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but blush slightly.
Speaking of which, although the white pole soldiers are soldiers of Shizhu Xuanfu Division, most of the generals in the army are Qin Liangyu's natal family. His elder brothers Qin Bangping, Qin Banghan, and younger brother Qin Minping all serve in the white pole soldiers. And this person who is joking
, it is his eldest brother Qin Bangping.
"The Marquis didn't set a time, so how could my brother-in-law miss the time? But do you really mean what the Marquis said about applying for a formal military position for my eldest sister after Bozhou is pacified?"
Seeing that his sister was talking about military orders, Qin Bangping also changed the subject and talked about Wang Bing's promise to formally apply for a military appointment for her.
"That's all the champion said. Since ancient times, no woman has been officially appointed as a general by the imperial court..."
Obviously, after calming down, Qin Liangyu didn't have much hope for Wang Bing's promise.
"Sister, the Marquis is the person whom Your Majesty trusts the most. As long as the Marquis really asks for your seal, then there is at least an 80-90% certainty of the matter. So, the eldest sister must seize this opportunity. This is not possible.
It’s just a matter of a military position... If I can get the support of the Marquis, who would dare to covet my brother-in-law’s position as the governor?”
At the end, Qin Bangping looked at Qin Liangyu solemnly.
Speaking of which, Qin Liangyu formed this white-pole army mainly to stabilize Ma Qiancheng's position as the stone pillar chieftain.
You should know that the previous chieftain of Shizhu Xuanfu, Ma Qiancheng's mother Qin, wanted his younger brother Ma Qiansi to inherit the position of chieftain. Therefore, with the support and help of Qin, Ma Qiansi's strength was stronger than
Ma Qiancheng, this chieftain, is much stronger.
"Well, elder brother is right, little sister understands..."
…
"Phew, finally crawled over!"
Just when Qin Bangping persuaded Qin Liangyu to get in touch with Wang Bing through the military appointment he had promised, the white pole soldiers led by Ma Qiancheng, Qin Banghan, Qin Pingmin and others on the right side of Loushanguan also finally
We arrived at the top of Loushanguan Pass.
"Brother, rest for a quarter of an hour, then send out the signal given by the Marquis and inform Zhensu and the Marquis!"
After taking a few breaths, Ma Qiancheng took out a flare from his arms that Wang Bing had given him before setting off. It was actually a special firework.
"Whoosh...bang!"
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed by. Amidst the roaring artillery in front of the pass, a sharp and harsh sound sounded, and a gorgeous firework suddenly exploded over the Loushan Pass.
"This is?"
Seeing the brilliant fireworks that suddenly exploded above their heads, the rebels who had huddled in various corners of the pass to avoid the artillery fire of the Habayashi Guards were suddenly stunned.
"Kill!!!"
Just when these rebels were still stunned by the fireworks that suddenly appeared above their heads, with the blessing of the echo, waves of killing cries like a tsunami suddenly came from the cliffs on both sides, and then even more
There were countless figures running towards the pass under the cover of trees.
"Is this? When did these Ming troops become so powerful?"
Seeing the figures of the Ming army charging towards the pass from the cliffs on both sides, the rebels could not help but be horrified.
You know, the mountain walls on both sides of Loushanguan are difficult for even barbarians like them, who have lived in the mountains and forests since childhood, to climb, let alone these Han people?
"Finally it's time to kill!!!"
Just when the rebels in the pass were still horrified by the Ming army that suddenly appeared between the cliffs on both sides, the Ming army in front of the pass, which was just a feint attack, suddenly let out a cry, which turned from false to real in an instant.
Under the cover of fire, Zhong rushed towards the door.
"Hurry, return to your position, the Ming army is attacking! Lou Guo, lead your people to block the Ming army on both sides, I will be in charge of the pass!"
Facing the sudden attack by the Ming army, Mu Zheng and Lou Guo, his confidants who were ordered to garrison here by Yang Yinglong, did their duty. After being stunned for a moment, they immediately organized rebels to resist the Ming army's attack.
There is no way, this Loushan Pass is too important. If Loushan Pass is lost, the entire northern part of Bozhou will be wide open, and it will no longer be able to defend the enemy from the "national gate".
Therefore, in the face of the surprise attack by the Ming army, even though they knew that the morale of the army was frightened, the two of them could only bite the bullet and continue to defend.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
However, just when the two people organized a group of frightened rebels to return to their respective positions, with the sound of soft noises, countless small black dots emitting green smoke suddenly flew from the side cliffs towards the pass.
Came over.
Needless to say, these grenades were naturally distributed to the white-armed soldiers by Wang Bing before setting off. The purpose was naturally to kill these rebels faster and more effectively, and at the same time reduce the casualties of the white-armed soldiers when the rebels were trapped and fighting.
But what Wang Bing didn't expect was that the effect of the grenade he temporarily distributed to the white-armed soldiers was far beyond his imagination.
"Oh my god, that's thunder in the palm of my hand!"
"Oh my god, the thunder in the palm of Tianshi Mansion is here again!"
Seeing the grenades dropped into the pass, many barbarian rebels who had experienced the Battle of Jiangjin were immediately frightened to death.
It's funny to say that when faced with the more powerful explosive bomb attacks from the Guanqian Yulin Guards, although these rebels were also very frightened, they did not have that kind of fear in their bones. So even if they were blown up and couldn't stand their heads, these rebels
The rebels didn't even think about escaping.
However, when they faced the battle of Jiangjin, the grenades that the Ming army jokingly called Tianshi Mansion's "palm mine", most of the barbarian rebels instantly collapsed and began to fire under the bombardment of grenades falling from the sky.
Here comes the sheep!
There is no other way. Compared with the firearms of the Ming army, in the hearts of these barbarians, the 'Palm Thunder' of the Tianshi Mansion is obviously more terrifying.
"Anyone who disrupts the army formation will be killed!"
Seeing a group of soldiers who were blown up by grenades and running around, Mu Zhen and Lou Guo could only send some of their personal guards to serve as a supervising team and kill these barbarians who had collapsed, hoping to reawaken them with blood.
The fighting spirit comes.
However, although the two people had a good idea, when the Ming army was already in front of them, how could it be too late?
Therefore, the actions of the two men not only had no effect at all, but actually helped the Ming army invisibly.
"Kill!!!"
Just when Mu Zhen and his two men sent their soldiers to kill a group of barbarians who had lost their will, another burst of shouts came, but the white soldiers on both sides finally came out from the mountains and forests on both sides.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
Faced with a group of rebels whose will has collapsed and are running around without any formation, it is easy to kill a group of white soldiers with flags as their units.
"General, we can't hold on any longer. If we don't withdraw, it will be too late!"
Seeing that the pass was in chaos, at the front wall, Mu Zhen's soldiers, who were also suppressed by artillery fire and cannon fire from the Yulin Guards and the Fifth Army Camp, began to think of retreating.
"Let's leave the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!"
Seeing that there was really nothing he could do, Mu Zheng could only grit his teeth helplessly and prepared to lead a group of soldiers to abandon the pass and retreat.
"Where are you going, barbarian!"
However, just as Mu Zhen's order to retreat had just been issued, a loud roar came from outside the wall, and a tall figure holding a broadsword suddenly jumped into the air from outside the wall and headed towards the wall.
Pounced over.
"Liu Dadao!"
Seeing the familiar big iron sword in the hand of the visitor, the barbarian soldiers who were about to retreat suddenly couldn't help but scream in surprise. Even the general Mu Zhen couldn't care about it, and Sayazi ran away behind the pass.
There was no way, the wall was more than three feet high. And Liu Wei actually jumped onto the wall with a large sword in hand. For Mu Zhen's soldiers, its intimidating effect was even greater than
There are too many thunders in the palm of Tianshi Mansion.
"puff!"
Just as Mu Zhen and his recruits were escaping, there was a soft sound, and with blood flying, Mu Zhen, the rebel general who was guarding the pass, was slashed in two by Liu Wei from his shoulder.
Duan, he cannot die anymore.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As the first Ming army to attack the wall from the front, Liu Wei, who had not even taken a few sips of soup while carrying Mu Zheng's severed head, couldn't help but burst out laughing arrogantly.
"Oh my god, the sky is about to descend to earth, run away!"
