Chapter 452 Break the Pass

"Please, it's raining..." Xue Jingze muttered. Perhaps because he learned that Xue Jingze attacked overnight and was about to offer gifts to him, or because he had absolute trust in Xue Jingze, Tong Bingwen actually heard that he would be postponed for a few days before he came. Tong Bingwen naturally had countless things in his hands, and Xue Jingze's performance in military allocation and attack seemed to satisfy him, so Tong Bingwen didn't need to run ahead and compete with his confidant general. After all, Tong Bingwen's current problem also had no room for improvement. But Xue Jingze was not satisfied with his performance: and Danan Pass was still in Chunnan's hands.

Although the reinforcements brought by Liang Xudao had not yet adapted to the fierce attack at the city, although they could not directly capture Danan Pass, the results were also impressive. Liang Xudao's ten thousand reinforcements brought by Liang Xudao lost one third of them overnight. Coupled with the losses of the soldiers on the city, Danan Pass began to feel a little precarious overnight. However, Danan Pass was still in Chunnan's hands after all.

It has been four days in total, and the manpower and material resources that Xue Jingze had dropped on Danan Pass made Chunnan tremble. He almost never cared about the issue of consumption. All the siege equipment and sulphur bombs were distributed as needed, and it was absolutely true. Tong Bingwen stayed behind and personally took charge of the logistics, and achieved excellent results. Until now, Xue Jingze still has sufficient supplies in his hands.

The city walls of Danan Pass have already appeared due to continuous burning. Although they are walls built with stones, they cannot withstand such troubles. Sometimes, a sulphur bomb hits the wall, and the hot sulphur penetrates into the gap between the stone bricks and burns out there. The degree of burning will continue to deepen with the attack over and over again. After the continuous attack, several places on the city walls are actually hot. When the slight raindrops hit the city, water vapor actually emerges in some places.

Xue Jingze frowned. He suddenly thought of something and ordered loudly: "Ordinary crossbows fire with all their might, concentrate on attacking the dark place on the left city wall, and use all the sulphur bombs. Those big guys, replace the stone bullets for me to blast there."

Several officers under his command were stunned, but they hurried in a corner. Chen Libo, the general who had been in charge of heavy equipment, lit his eyes. He stood up and asked, "General, do you want to smash that wall?"

Xue Jingze nodded and said, "I don't know if it's OK. If it can be broken, the whole line will naturally be smooth. Even if it doesn't work, hehe, there will be a cover for the ground to rush to the city gate or climb the city to fight. We just have the troops to advance together and see how the other party deals with it. Chen Libo, you go in person."

Chen Libo rubbed his palms and said excitedly: "If the general told me, I have to go there myself. When I need to be accurate, I have to let me do it."

Seeing Chen Libo's relaxed, Xue Jingze nodded and encouraged, "Go, I'll ask for me alone for you."

Whether in Xiling or Chunnan, generals like Chen Libo who were promoted from battalions who were in charge of equipment did not seem to have a high status. On the one hand, most of these people were not from generals, and no one supported them in the army. In addition, everyone disliked them for hiding behind to fight artillery when they were fighting, especially when fighting a war, which was almost difficult for death. However, the heavy equipment troops that were driven by Dongping have become increasingly important to conquer cities and territories, especially in the attack and defense of the city gate. When conducting a large-scale corps array battle, the heavy equipment troops have dominated the battle to a certain extent. Officers like Chen Libo, who are outstanding in technology, have also obtained very good promotion opportunities.

Chen Libo rushed to the crossbows position and conveyed Xue Jingze's orders. After arranging the crossbows for concentrated bombardment and segmented support, he stood directly on the oversized crossbows. He took out two copper rulers from his arms, measured the angle, and carefully observed the current wind direction and other climates. Then he jumped off the crossbows mount and tried the touch of the cow tendons of the torsion spring group... After such a series of sensual movements, he whispered a series of orders to the gunners who were waiting for his orders.

Rows of tiny oil bombs hit the city wall directly, which did not cause much reaction on the city. In a few days, everyone's nerves became much thicker. The tiny flames splashed by the tiny oil bombs did not cause much damage to the city. Instead, the Xiling army climbing and attacking under the city was a little embarrassed. Following the city wall, flames flowed through the cracks of the stone bricks of the city wall, which was shocking.

However, when another batch of sulphur bombs also hit the awkward height on the city wall, Zhang Chen immediately realized that there was something wrong!

He immediately summoned several officers in charge of firearms and heavy equipment and asked, "What does this mean?" But everyone looked at each other. But suddenly, a loud noise came, accompanied by the whole splash, and the gravel was shooting everywhere. "General Zhang, come and see... the city wall... the city wall is cracked."

The burning of flames, the squeezing between bricks and stones caused by uneven heat and heat, and the astonishing stone bullets were bombarded with huge energy, finally opened a hole in the city wall. Zhang Chen bent down and poked out the city wall, glanced at the gap on the city wall, and blood involuntarily rushed towards his head. All the sounds around seemed to turn into buzzing bees, away from him. Zhang Chen shook his head hard, and this dizziness began to make up for himself.

It was really terrible. The gap on the city wall was quite large. About three or four stone bricks were actually broken and fell at the foot of the city wall. Although several Xiling soldiers were killed, Zhang Chen would rather these stone bricks remain there. When he was lost, two Xiling officers holding iron bows and supervising the battle under the city had already shot two arrows. If it weren't for Zhang Chen's personal guards raising their shields to block them, Zhang Chen would have almost died on the spot.

After a few stone bricks collapsed, they were still very solid. The walls of the city wall were not just a layer of stone bricks. The outermost layer was stone bricks, which were completely cut from natural rocks, and the inner layer was made of hard blue bricks, densely packed. Moreover, this layer of blue bricks was the thickest layer in the city wall. Inside, there were huge stone beams. When Danan Pass was built, these stone beams were the most difficult link. Each stone beam was cut out from natural giant rocks, and then transported here. Then they were lifted in a clumsy way to clean up the burrs in the stacking and combining between the stone beams, make complex wedges and holes to match them, and polish them smoothly.

The surfaces of Yu's contact with each other, and then stacked the stone beams and combined them so that they were not airtight. Then, the external wall project was built based on the structure of the stone beams. This complex and inefficient framework structure ensured that Danan Pass stood firm. However, ordinary soldiers did not know that this gap in the city wall was still far away from forming a hole that could break the city wall. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, with the current fire rate and accuracy of heavy equipment, you really don't know when it will be possible to break through the city wall. However, the collapse of the city wall has a huge impact on morale.

Listening to the cheers and thunder of the Xiling army under the city wall, they attacked more and more vigorously. Taking advantage of the depressed time of Chunnan soldiers on the city, a team of Xiling elite soldiers rushed to the city. Zhang Chen hurriedly brought a pair of personal guards to block the gap, while asking Liang Xudao to report the situation, and then hurriedly asked someone to inform him, so that the subsequent support forces could immediately climb the city to defend the enemy. However, a jam-clapping sound made Zhang Chen fall into despair, which was the place where he stood up.

The sound of the thick wooden pillars at the door breaking. In the past few days, the well-protected siege car had damaged four, but every time, Xue Jingze sent another one without hesitation. The soldiers of Xiling wanted to move the damaged siege car away with the rain of arrows, stones, and hot grease on the city, and push the new siege car up to continue working. Xiling lost at least 1,700 people at the city gate alone.

However, at this moment, all these sacrifices were worthwhile. When the wooden strips supporting the two extremely thick oak doors holding copper-skin broke, the wood of the gate that had become loose under countless beats could no longer withstand the attack. The matte bags on both sides of the city gate were almost one person tall, and they had been covered with secret injuries. Chunnan soldiers worked hard to support the wooden strips behind the city gate, but before this arduous work could play, the city gate could not hold back. With a rumbling sound, the gate fell towards the deep door hole, and instead pressed many Chunnan soldiers underneath and turned into powder.

"Assault from the whole army!" Xue Jingze, who saw this scene in the telescope, shouted loudly, and the order was immediately shouted out by the officers layer by layer. The entire Xiling army turned into a tide of attack and rushed towards the Danan Pass. The soldiers who seemed to have been squeezed out of the last energy in their bodies just now revitalized and rushed towards the door; the reserve teams of those who were originally lined up not far from the city wall to replace the attacking comrades in front ran and rushed forward; the soldiers who were resting in rotation got out of the camp tent, picked up their weapons and rushed towards the Danan Pass... At this moment, the entire Xiling army was boiling.

The city wall was cracked and the city gate was blasted open. The Chunnan soldiers at the head of the Danan Pass were all terrified and suddenly collapsed. They were killed by more and more Xiling soldiers who jumped onto the city and fled in panic. After an hour and a half, Xiling had already captured the main part of the Danan Pass, and drove Chunnan's army to the auxiliary building complex behind the Danan Pass to resist stubbornly...
