Become a feudal king from today

"Brothers, the front is Tongguan. Only by taking this place will Jinzhou be safe and the enemy will not threaten Yanzhou. Hold on to your weapons and follow me!"

Amid the bursts of cannon fire, sixty teams carrying ladders were ready.

Each team is led by a small flag, with a total of fifty people.

Before the attack, the general flag circled around the soldiers under his command, shouting to encourage them.

At the same time, the ten cloud echelon teams were led by a school captain.

Whether it is a small flag, a general flag or a school captain, they will all lead the charge in this siege.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers shouted that this would be the toughest siege they had ever fought in Jinju.

When they were in Xincheng, they took advantage of the fact that there were only more than 2,000 soldiers in the city.

When they entered Jincheng, they took advantage of the artillery that destroyed the city wall.

But there won't always be advantages for them on the battlefield.

What's more, with the current artillery and flintlock support, they already have a great advantage.

"His Royal Highness has returned to Yancheng, but he has been watching us! This time we will use Tong Guan to prove to His Highness that we can also chew hard bones!" After the generals at all levels cheered the soldiers, Guan Tong rode on his horse Running back and forth in front of the soldiers, shouting.

Finally he stopped in front of Chang Wei, who nodded to him.

Pulling out the sword from his waist, he pointed at the head of Tongguan City and shouted: "Charge!"

"kill!"

After Guan Tong gave the order, the soldiers carrying the ladders rushed towards the city wall.

At the same time, Chang Wei ordered the fusiliers to move forward and suppress the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall.

The artillery stopped at this time, and continuing the bombardment would cause accidental damage.

On the city wall.

Hearing the shouts of killing, Qu Dan stuck his head out and took a look.

I saw King Yan's soldiers carrying the ladder and launching a charge.

His heart tightened, and he shouted: "Everyone, get up and guard the city wall!"

After receiving Qu Dan's order, the Xiliang general on the city wall went back and forth on the city wall urging the soldiers to stand up.

The sound of artillery stopped, and the Xiliang soldiers became bolder.

I saw that the soldiers of King Yan carrying the ladder were about to arrive at the city wall.

They immediately picked up the rolling logs and gravel and waited for the arrival of King Yan's soldiers.

At the same time, the Xiliang archers on the city wall stood up and fired arrows at the soldiers of King Yan below the city.

"Whoosh whoosh..." The sound of arrows piercing the air continued to sound.

It fell like raindrops on the charging palace soldiers.

From time to time, charging soldiers were hit in areas not covered by armor and fell to the ground screaming.

While the Xiliang archers fired arrows, the fusiliers stepped forward.

They lined up under the city and fired at the city head.

"Bang bang bang..." intensive gunfire sounded.

Amidst the fire and smoke, Xiliang archers on the city wall were constantly being shot and fell to the ground.

With the help of the fusiliers, the pressure on the charging royal soldiers suddenly eased.

They came to the bottom of the city wall, put the ladder against the city wall, and climbed up the ladder.

Under the suppression of flintlock guns, the Xiliang soldiers hid behind the wall stacks.

Seeing that the palace soldiers were about to climb up the city wall, the Xiliang general immediately ordered the soldiers to pick up the stones in their hands and smash them down.

A Xiliang soldier picked up the stone in fear, stood up, and threw it towards the ladder.

He was hit in the arm as the stone was thrown.

Severe pain came, and he squatted under the wall with his arms covered, screaming in agony.

The other Xiliang soldiers were even more frightened when they saw this.

Although there was no artillery, this kind of weapon that could not be explained by the defeated troops also filled them with fear.

"Everyone stand up and kill the enemy. Anyone who squats behind will be killed!" came the general's voice.

But out of fear, not many people paid attention to them.

Seeing this, the general swung his sword and killed a soldier squatting under the wall.

The pupils of the other Xiliang soldiers suddenly dilated.

With gritted teeth and a loud shout, they picked up the rolling log and threw it down.

Other soldiers also poured down gravel, hot oil and other objects.

"Incoming reserve team!"

Under the city, Chang Wei clenched his fist tightly.

The narrow walls and sufficient troops allowed Xiliang to constantly replace dead soldiers and maintain the offensive.

Amidst the rocks, rolling logs and scalding hot oil, the royal soldiers suffered casualties.

Soldiers continued to be hit and fell from the ladder.

"This damn Tongguan." Chang Wei hated Tongguan for the first time.

No matter how much he liked this place before, and even guarded it here.

But now in the hands of the enemy, it is a hateful existence in his eyes.

Especially after causing so many casualties to his soldiers.

The fighting lasted from morning to evening. With the narrow city wall of Tongguan, the resistance of the Xiliang people was fierce.

When night fell, Chang Wei ordered the siege to stop.

On the city wall, looking at the faded soldiers of King Yan, Qu Dan's hands were trembling slightly.

If there were not this city wall, if there were not 30,000 Xiliang soldiers in the city.

He believed the city was now broken.

But even so, he was still frightened.

In a war, the side defending the city occupies a favorable location and often makes much smaller sacrifices than the other side.

But after comparing the casualties of King Yan's soldiers outside the city, he unexpectedly found that the casualties he suffered while defending the city were greater than those who attacked the city.

The reason lies in the strange firearms of King Yan's soldiers.

So many soldiers carried these firearms as there were as many archers.

Many Xiliang were killed when they appeared.

Outside the same customs.

Chang Wei and the captains looked solemn.

After a day's storming, the city wall at the same level was not captured.

Tongguan faces mountains on two sides and grassland on one side. Only the south gate side can be attacked.

This simply gave Xiliang the opportunity to concentrate its forces against them.

Although the soldiers fought bravely, they could not resist the abuse of stones, rolling logs, and hot oil.

"It's a pity that the lime firecrackers can't be used, otherwise it would have been much smoother." Guan Tong sounded the lime that once again worked wonders when attacking Jincheng.

But the situation is different now. Throwing firecrackers from the bottom up will only cause the lime to float down, which will cause trouble for your own people.

"Firecrackers!" Guan Tong's muttering made Chang Wei startled, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind.

He looked at the city wall facing him and said, "Continue to bombard the weak point of the city wall."

Then he said: "Concentrate some more gunpowder and make some gunpowder barrels."

Upon hearing this, Guan Tong immediately understood what Chang Wei was going to do.

There was a hint of joy on his face and he immediately asked the soldiers to prepare.

Not long after, the roar of artillery sounded again, bombarding the place that had been repaired.

The next day, thirty half-meter-high wooden barrels were moved to the front of the military formation.

Each barrel was filled with pellets of gunpowder, and a match rope was inserted into the barrel to prepare it for ignition.

After a night of bombardment, the green bricks completely fell off in the bombarded area, leaving only rammed earth.

Moreover, a large and deep hole was made in the rammed earth by the shell.

This is what Chang Wei wants.

Even if the artillery bombardment speed was too slow, he used gunpowder barrels to directly blow open the city wall.

"Fusiliers and artillery are fully covering the soldiers carrying the powder barrels." Chang Wei pointed forward, "Blow up this city wall!"
