"Wu Changsheng, I order you to quickly occupy Fengzui Peak, and then use artillery to suppress the first pass, the second pass and the two passes to cover the attack by the army!"

"Qi Xianzong, you, Ma Qiancheng, and Ran Yulong each lead a thousand Yulin, Baigan, and Youyang soldiers as the vanguard. After the bombardment is over, quickly swim across the Baisha River and fight for the first pass, the second pass, and the two passes.

Stand firm and build a pontoon bridge to wait for the rear troops!"

"The rest of the armies took turns pretending to attack Tiezhu Pass and Tongzhu Pass in front of Houn, trying to make the noise as loud as possible to attract the attention of the rebels!"

…

"Hi~Boom!"

In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, which was supposed to be the occasion of the New Year's Eve, with the unique whistling sound from the chamber of Yulinwei's new type of bombing ejection, the final attack of the Battle of Pingbo, the "Battun"

The war has officially begun.

"Get ready to cross the river!"

Watching the artillery shells whizzing past the head and hitting the pass on the opposite side, on the Baisha River across the water from Toudaoguan, following Qi Xianzong's order, groups of "flag" units

The Baigan soldiers and Youyang soldiers quickly pulled out a series of simple bamboo rafts that had been tied up long ago from the grass behind them.

Afterwards, after pushing these bamboo rafts into the water, these chieftain soldiers maneuvered the boat, and the Yulin Guards sergeant held a musket as a warning, and quickly sailed towards the other side.

"Fire the arrows, fire the arrows quickly, don't let the Ming army reach the shore!"

Although they were being bombarded by the artillery shells fired by the Yulin Guards from Fengzui Peak, the rebels at Toudao Pass quickly discovered the crossing of the river by Qi Xianzong and others.

Therefore, powerful crossbow arrows were quickly fired at the Yulin guards and chieftain soldiers on the bamboo rafts.

It must be said that these rebels were indeed very brave. They were able to organize manpower to stop Qi Xianzong and the others when they withstood the fierce bombardment of the Habayashi Guards' new explosive bombs.

However, first of all, Qi Xianzong and the others had just begun to cross the river, and the distance was still quite far. Secondly, the firepower of Yulinwei's new explosive ammunition was too fierce. Even though these rebels were not afraid of death, they were still flesh and blood.

Therefore, the number of crossbow arrows that could be fired was not large. Except for the dozens of unlucky ones who suffered minor injuries among the Yulin Guards, White Rods, and Youyang Chieftains on the bamboo rafts, none of them fell into the water.

"Let your kid be anxious, now it's better, just get beaten, hahahaha!"

Just as the rebels at Toudao Pass were attacked with crossbows by Qi Xianzong and others while they were crossing the river, Wu Changsheng, who also saw this scene on Fengzui Peak, couldn't help but burst into gloating laughter.

"Brothers, move faster. I'll target them all. Let's blast the traitors on the wall first!"

It was just that he was laughing. Seeing that the rebels at the front gate were still able to block the friendly forces, Wu Changsheng couldn't help but get angry. Didn't this slap him and the artillerymen in the face?

Therefore, under Wu Changsheng's urging, a group of artillerymen from the Yulin Guards immediately sped up their actions and used a faster speed to smash the cannonballs at the rebels at the first pass.

At this time, the rebels at Toudao Pass did not even dare to climb the wall, let alone Qi Xianzong and others who were blocking the crossing.

There was no way, under the bombardment of the Yulin Guards' artillery fire that was obviously more violent than before, those companions who were still on the wall just now were all turned into lumps of flesh and blood, splattered all over the inside and outside of the wall.

Therefore, facing this firepower that is simply beyond human power, no matter how brave these rebels are, they can only be blown up until they are howling like ghosts and looking for a place to hide.

"Hookgun!"

Just as the rebels at the first pass were bombarded and howling like ghosts, the first batch of Yulin guards and chieftain soldiers to cross the river had already crossed the Baisha River, which was not too wide, and were now heading up the steep slope with the help of the Baisha soldiers' hook guns.

of shore climbing.

Soon, with the help of white pole soldiers and hook guns, the first batch of hundreds of soldiers who crossed the river quickly climbed onto the other side and began to assemble.

But those empty bamboo rafts were dragged back by other soldiers on the other side, pulling the vines that had been tied up long ago, in preparation for transporting the second batch of soldiers.

"Send a signal and let the artillery extend its firepower!"

Under the suppression of Yulinwei's artillery fire, Qi Xianzong and the others, who were only slightly 'harassed' when they first crossed the river, had already crossed more than a thousand people in a short time. After gathering, they were ready to take the lead first.

close.

"Increase the amount of medicine and fire at Erdaoguan!"

On Fengzui Peak, looking at the red flag signal from the Yulin Guards who had crossed the Baisha River, Wu Changsheng immediately commanded the artillery to extend their firepower, plowing along the Tucheng towards the second pass, and gave up the first pass to already

Qi Xianzong and others landed.

"Hiss~"

When Qi Xianzong, Ma Qiancheng and Ran Yulong arrived at Tudaoguan with the soldiers who landed ashore, Ran Yulong saw the power of the Yulin Guards' artillery fire for the first time, but at this moment, he did not bother to turn off the strong bloody air and inhale the air-conditioner!

There was no other way. Under the bombardment of Habayashi Guards' new explosive bombs, not only was the pass at Toudaoguan almost in ruins, but the ruins were now covered with corpses, pieces of flesh, and pools of blood.

"Wu Changsheng, you prodigal son, couldn't you save some cannonballs? You fucking bombed this place like this, why don't I still play ball!"

Unlike Ma Qiancheng and others who focused on the ruins and corpses, Qi Xianzong, who found that there was not even a living person in the pass, turned around and complained angrily to Wu Changsheng on Fengzui Peak on the other side.

stand up.

…

"I'm talking about Lao Zhang, Lao Qi, and the general told us to feign an attack. But now that we have even taken down the copper and iron levels, when the time comes..."

While Qi Xianzong was still aggrieved by Wu Changsheng's "waste" of artillery shells, at the Xiematai above Tiezhu Pass, Hailongdunqianguan, Zhao Zhilong, the deputy general of the Fifth Army Camp, was currently preparing for "

I'm worried because I violated Wang Bing's military order.

It turned out that during the rounds of feints in which all the troops were holding their breath, when it was the turn of the fifth military camp to feint, one of them accidentally used too much force, but directly broke through the copper and iron levels, and reached the bottom of the thirty-six steps of the ladder in one breath.

The horse-resting platform has arrived.

There is no way. Compared with the Ming army in the original history, the combat power of the Ming army in this time and space is much stronger. So even if it is just a feint attack, the effect is better than the actual attack in the original history.

Much more.

"Hahahahaha, let me tell you, Old Zhao, you were bitten by a snake once, and you have been afraid of the well rope for ten years! We are indeed feigning an attack, but those rebels are useless, who can blame us?"

Seeing Zhao Zhilong's worried look, Zhang Weiming laughed indifferently.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao. Lao San didn't allow the strong attack just because he was worried about the casualties of the soldiers. He didn't say that feint attacks can't break these two levels. Why are you worried?"

Glancing at Zhao Zhilong, who was still a little worried, Qi Zhenzong, who followed with the Shenji Battalion, also didn't take this 'violation' of military orders to heart.

"I told you a few people, what are you waiting for? Keep going up!"

Just when Qi Zhenzong finished speaking, Liu Wei, who had also followed him up with others, was looking at the Feihu Pass on the thirty-six steps of the ladder and was eager to try it.

"General Liu, this place is too steep. If we attack it directly, the casualties will be too high. When the time comes, the general will blame us, but we can't afford it!"

Looking at the steps in front of them, which are as high as an adult's calves even if they are short, and the ladder with a slope of forty-five degrees, Qi Zhenzong and Zhang Weiming, who just now seemed not to care about 'violating' military orders, now they are

It became difficult again.

They had no choice but to face Wang Bing, who wanted zero casualties in every battle. If they attacked regardless of the casualties of their soldiers, even if they attacked, the punishment they would have to endure in the end would not be easy.
