By the way, I also want to publicize the strength of the official army. There are millions of soldiers and thousands of generals. If you don't surrender as soon as possible, you will die and be buried.

These people followed the order and left. Three days later, Yue Su's army set off, marching by land and water, heading for Sichuan. When they left Luoyang, not a single one of their troops was left behind. The army led by Wang Tan and the Li brothers

All the troops stationed in Luoyang followed him into Sichuan.

On the other side of the waterway, in addition to Mo Youjian's troops, Yue Su also allocated 20,000 soldiers and horses to Jin Chan, and they went to the Tuojiang River with Mo Youjian, but he told them not to rush into a fight and to act according to the opportunity.

Yue Su personally controlled the main force of 500,000 troops, which was said to be one million. They entered Hanzhong from Xiangyang, joined forces with Sima Qiaoyu, Zuo Liangyu, Qin Liangyu, and Cao Bianjiao, and headed for Chengdu.

If you want to get to Chengdu, Mianzhu Pass is the only way to go. Over the years, this place has been baptized by many wars. Although the city wall is damaged in some places, it is generally in the way. Li Zicheng attaches great importance to Mianzhu Pass and sent his general Gao Yi to attack it.

As a result, Liu Fangliang led an army of 80,000 people to sit here and issued a death order. The officers and soldiers must not be allowed to cross Mianzhu Pass.

In the past two years, Li Zicheng destroyed the city and seized a lot of cannons. He put almost all his wealth in Mianzhu Pass, where hundreds of cannons were placed to fight against the government troops.

As for the officers and soldiers, Sima Qiaoyu and Cao Bianjiao were at the forefront. They led 50,000 troops. On this day, they arrived at Mianzhu Pass. Because they also had powerful artillery, they decided to make the first success.

The cannons were placed, but before they had time to bombard the city, the artillery on the city opened fire first. Normally, the artillery of the government and army are foreign products and have a longer range than domestic products, but the closed artillery was condescending and completely

It can make up for the gap in range. The city was caught off guard, and many cannons were blown up at once. Not only that, Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang were also very tough. With the impact of the artillery, the two of them fought their way out.

When they left the city, they defeated the army and made them lose their footing.

Fortunately, Sima Qiaoyu managed the army well and Cao Bianjiao was always brave. Under their command, although the army was defeated, they withstood the raid of the rogue bandits without causing too many casualties. After a day of fighting, the rogue bandits returned victorious.

The army retreated fifteen miles and set up camp.

Yue Su quickly received the news that the first battle was unfavorable, which was a blow to morale. What was even worse was that the rogue bandits also began to use artillery to defend the city. In this case, it would be significantly more difficult to capture Mianzhu Pass as soon as possible.

This will be a war of attrition, but as long as we win, the rogue bandits will naturally collapse. It doesn't matter if you have artillery, I have more artillery. Mr. Yue has brought nearly 500 artillery in total. If we can't count the number of artillery, let's have a counterattack

Boom, let’s see who lasts longer. I have one country against one region, how can I be afraid of you?

Five days later, the army arrived at the front enemy. Yue Su ordered Gao Jian's troops to charge, and the artillery behind them could be deployed. How dare Gao Jian disobey and lead his army to attack the city. As rogue bandits, their siege itself is not their strong point. They were defeated by the city.

The intruders on board were fighting in a desperate manner. Fortunately, it didn't take long before Yue Su asked Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Gao Jian felt relieved and hurriedly ordered his men to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, the army's artillery began to fire, with a series of loud "boom-boom-boom" noises, and the cannons hit the city one after another. The rogue bandits on the city did not show weakness and fired back.

When the top of the city is bombarding the bottom of the city, the top of the city naturally has the advantage. At least there is a wall to block it. If the cannon hits it, it may not cause casualties. The bottom of the city suffers a lot. If the cannon fires, it may kill several people. Yuesu has many people.

, of course he wouldn't care, what he was afraid of was that his own cannon would be damaged by the city's cannon.

Simply xng, rogues are rogues after all. Those gunners have not received any formal training, and their accuracy is very lacking. Moreover, the quality of domestic guns is really unflattering. The two sides fought for an hour, and the rogues in the city were bombarded.

Not many people died, but three guns exploded, causing considerable losses.

As the battle continues, the gap between domestic cannons and foreign cannons is also revealed. After ten rounds of domestic cannons, the gun body becomes extremely hot and needs to be cooled before firing. Foreign cannons are obviously longer lasting and can be fired more.

Five or six shots are fine.

There were 200 artillery pieces under the city, each of which could fire five rounds, which amounted to thousands of rounds in total. Just being beaten made the people on the city complain endlessly. During the cooling time, Yue Su ordered out of the well fence and arrow tower, led by He Yilong and Wang Yiyong.

The right army launched a charge.

Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang led part of the army to defend the city desperately. After fighting for half an hour, the artillery cooled down. Yue Su asked Ming Jin to retreat, and the artillery continued to fire. The artillery on the city also cooled down, so he added yo and continued to bombard him.

.

An artillery bombardment lasted for more than an hour, and in the end, the army's artillery had the upper hand again. This time, the bandits in the city learned a lesson, and fired in turns with artillery in order to maintain a lasting effect.

The number of cannons above and below the city was reduced, and Yue Su naturally saw the clues. If you can do this, you can do the same below the city, and ask your own gunners to take turns firing. No matter what, the firepower must be twice as much as yours.

Artillery fire was flying from above and below the city, from day to dusk. Yue Su had many people and many artillery pieces, so he was afraid of being wasted. He ordered half of the troops to rest at night while the other half continued bombardment. He also ordered a hundred more artillery pieces to be brought up and fired.

The city exerted pressure.

After four days of such day and night bombardment, the artillery on the city could no longer hold up. More and more cannons were exploding, and the supply of cannons was insufficient. Compared with them, the artillery fire below the city increased and decreased. Yue Su

Four hundred men of artillery have been sent to the city, and they are bombarding them non-stop, leaving the city with only the ability to passively take the beating and fight back.

At this time, Yue Su didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the city. He only ordered the soldiers below to be on guard to prevent the enemy from leaving the city for a surprise attack. The artillery continued to fire in turn, shocking the city.

In the past few days, the bandits on the city had been beaten to ashes. Bricks and tiles from the crenels were flying everywhere, and two of them might have been killed. Yue Su ordered his men to use binoculars to observe the movements in the city at all times. On this day, Yue Su

Su thought that an opportunity had come, and immediately ordered Sima Qiaoyu to lead the army to launch a general offensive. Liu Xiyao and Prime Minister Hui Deng's left army accompanied him in the battle.

The officers and soldiers surged towards Mianzhu Pass like a flood. After Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang asked his men to resist desperately. However, the rogue bandits were bombarded by artillery fire these days and their fighting spirit was completely wiped out. The siege equipment under the city was very complete. Well railings, arrow towers,

Rushing cars, artillery, and cooperating with soldiers to seize the city, and the officers and soldiers are all well-dressed and armed with extremely thick shields, there is nothing that can be done to the rogue bandits in the city.
