Chapter eight hundred and seventeen Yumen Pass
After winning the first battle, Yi Tusheng was in a very happy mood. After rewarding Qin Liangyu and others, he summoned all the generals and said, "Tomorrow we will start attacking the city. Today's battle has already made the opponent's hearts and fears that they will never be able to organize any effective attacks again. We must break the city quickly. We can use two cannons, but we must not be too many. The most important thing at the moment is to hide our strength. General Chen Zilong, you lead a team of infantry to break the antlers first, and General Zhou Shoulian prepares for fortifications to fill the trenches to fight. I have recently created a batch of new armor. The defense of bows and arrows is much better than the current armor. Let your infantry wear them and reduce casualties. Once the antlers and trenches are filled, Ying Kun and Zhu Mei, you two, have no one to lead 30,000 troops to attack the city tower. Remember that the speed must be fast, and you will break this city within three days."
Seeing that Yi Tusheng had no flaws in his dispatch, the generals were amazed and immediately returned to his camp to prepare. In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the four armies were expelled from the top of the city, and the drums of war opened towards Yumen Pass. The soldiers on the top of the city immediately understood that they were going to force the siege. Harry was awakened when he was still sleeping. He did not expect the speed of the Ming army to be so fast. He thought that the siege would take a few more days.
This time Yi Tusheng personally supervised the battle, wearing a yellow cloak and a golden crown on his head, glared at the top of the city, and said, "The guard on the top of the city, I am the wise commander Yi Tusheng, the lord of the world. I ask you now, whether you are willing to surrender, if you are willing to surrender, I can consider saving your life. If you do not surrender, my 800,000 troops will immediately put your city in ashes, without leaving any tiles, and your wife and children will be buried with you. You have thought it through carefully. On one side is wealth and wealth, and on the other side is hell ghost city. Which side do you want to choose?"
"I know you are the demon Yi Tusheng, but don't be too arrogant. Although you destroyed countless countries some time ago, now our Guanxi Seven Guards are strong and strong, and they are vowing to fight you to the death. I think your good days are coming to an end. I, Harry, are loyal to the country and will never stop until death. If you have the ability, come and attack the city." Harry sneered in his heart, but he was very righteous. The main reason was that he felt that the Guanxi Seven Guards might not be defeated. At worst, he would give up the city and return to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to compete with him for a win or loss.
Yi Tusheng said: "Good, General Harry Chi is really a loyal figure for the country. I admire him very much. I hope you will always be a good loyal minister, but don't change your mind halfway and become a treasonous villain. If you surrender again in the future, I will kill you. How about it? I will give you another chance. You have to think clearly!" Yi Tusheng knew that Harry Chi had just said a big talk and could not repent in front of so many people, but he said this. The reason was to disrupt Harry Chi's thoughts, making him uneasy and have no intention of commanding. In fact, she had already seen that this was a guy with a harsh and cowardly appearance. The Seven Guards of Guanxi sent people like him to guard Yumen Pass, which clearly did not regard Yumen Pass as the real focus of defense.
Harry laughed loudly, and his tone of speaking was even more passionate: "Yi Tusheng, I, Harry, are you a person? The seven guards of Guanxi and even the countries in the Western Regions are obvious to all. You can take off my head, but you can never take away my loyal and patriotic heart." Yi Tusheng suddenly changed his face and cursed fiercely: "I swear to heaven that once you conquer Yumen Pass, the first thing is to take out your patriotic loyalty from your chest when you are alive, and you should be blessed."
Harry didn't expect Yi Tusheng to be such a person, and was really shocked, but he returned to normal in an instant. No matter what, it would not affect the morale of the soldiers. However, in his mind, the scene of living people being taken out of their hearts began to keep playing. It was so terrible, so terrible. He felt that Yi Tusheng could do such a thing.
Yi Tusheng roared angrily, his internal strength was strong, and everyone within three miles of eardrums felt ache, and he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, since this thief refused to surrender, what else can we say? Knock your war drums, pick up your weapons, rush to the top of the city, and wash the Yumen Pass bloodily. Where are countless treasures and beauties waiting for you."
Chen Zilong and Xu Fuyuan's army were at the forefront. With an order, they rushed out immediately and started to move the antlers. These antlers were not so easy to move, because the antlers were next to the trench. Generally, in addition to the spear bamboos, there were also ambushings in some places. So moving the antlers was not easy, and it was actually very dangerous. But now it is different. After yesterday's battle, Harry was already scared to withdraw all the ambushings in the trench and protect themselves as personal soldiers. In this way, Chen Zilong's work was simple. He opened the two antlers. At this time, it was still far from the top of the city and the bows and arrows were not accessible, so Xu Fuyuan began to ask the fortification soldiers to prepare to fill the trench.
Yi Tusheng waved his hand, and Yoshiyama Ouchi had already pressed two heavy cannons to rush out of the team, and filled the moat at the bottom of the city and was threatened by bows and arrows. The Shenwu cannon immediately began to shoot.
The trenches were filled in smoothly. At this time, the armored vehicle advanced forward and could blow its city gate open in one fell swoop, but Yi Tusheng refused to do so, and the same reason was that such a weapon of mass destruction was not yet the time to take it out. It must wait until the last battle to show its power, which would wipe out the entire army of the seven guards of Guanxi, and it would never become an obstacle to the Ming Dynasty's attack on the Western Regions again.
When the fortification soldiers led by Xu Fuyuan reached the last trench, they had already entered the range of the enemy's bow and arrow. Yi Tusheng's new "designed" armor also played a huge role. At the beginning, the soldiers felt very awkward and had never seen such armor before. At this moment, they truly realized its power. Yi Tusheng designed them bulletproof vests and bulletproof pants, which were filled with thick iron plates. Although it was very heavy and cumbersome, the defense against bow and arrow was definitely top-notch. In addition, he wore a helmet on his head, unless the enemy had a sharpshooter to shoot their throats, it would be unobstructed.
However, despite this, there were still casualties. After all, the bow and arrow were shot like a heavy rain, and it was impossible to have no casualties. The soldiers were instinctively starting to dodge, and the speed of filling the trench began to slow down, which affected the normal progress. Yi Tusheng ordered to fire artillery attacks and cover the soldiers who filled the trench.
Although the two magic cannons were not enough to destroy the city, after several shells were fired, the earth was shaking, the mountains were shaking, the black smoke filled with flying sand and stones. The archers on the city had never tried such a powerful cannon. They were so scared that they ran away with their heads in their arms and squatted under the city and dared not get up. Most of the arrows disappeared, and the soldiers filling the trenches were immediately excited. In less than half an hour, a passage of more than ten thousand people had been filled.
The two generals Ying Kun and Zhu Mei, who were ready to go, attacked from the left and right directions, set up ladders and shields to protect themselves, and quickly advanced towards the city. Yi Tusheng's artillery fire continued to shoot, winning precious time for the two generals to climb up the city, and effectively suppress the enemy's arrows, making it lose all its effect. Sure enough, this method was very effective. Zhu Mei and Ying Kun took the lead, with a very fast speed and had already advanced to the bottom of the city.
All passes are different from ordinary cities. For safety reasons, many cities in the Central Plains will surround a deep and fast moat outside, but there are generally no passes because they do not have such a favorable terrain and are not conducive to the progress of the large army. In this way, it can be regarded as reducing some trouble for Yi Tusheng. Zhu Mei and Ying Kun set up ladders from the left and right sides of the city gate to attack the city gate.
However, Yi Tusheng underestimated this Harry too much. He was indeed a villain with a harsh and cowardly appearance. However, he did have some ability to defend the city. The ladder he had just built was immediately hooked by a hook, and then poured pots of black turmeric oil on it, causing all the Ming army who had just climbed up to be scalded, and all the flesh and bones were gone from the ladder. Although several lucky climbed up to the city, they were also killed.
Zhu Mei was also a famous general in the Ming Dynasty. When she saw that her first attack was blocked, she was furious and began to prepare for a second rush. However, this time she was defeated by the wooden and stones, and the losses were heavy. The soldiers of the Seven Guards of Guanxi were afraid that the Ming Dynasty would kill and fight desperately after entering the city, and even ignored artillery fire. Of course, their losses were quite large, but these people continued to fight with the Ming army.
When Yi Tusheng saw this situation, he suddenly remembered a sentence, and his spirits were exhausted and declining. The morale of the enemy was quite good when Harry just now, so he was so brave. However, the maximum number of troops in his city was only 50,000. The soldiers will be exhausted tomorrow and their morale will be greatly frustrated. He is making a feint attack. He will not launch the general attack until the third day, and Yumen Pass will definitely be broken.
Yi Tusheng ordered the withdrawal of troops, thinking: If it weren't for the entire Guanxi seven guards in one fell swoop in the final battle, it would have been so much trouble. At a small pass, as long as the armored vehicles go up and bombard the city gate, they can immediately go straight in and kill the soldiers in the city without leaving any armor. But for the sake of the overall situation, they must not do so.
Yi Tusheng ordered Qin Liang, Yuming Jin, beside him, and the attacking army immediately retreated, but the artillery fire did not end and was ready to suppress the archer's performance. Therefore, the Ming army in the retreat did not suffer much loss. In the battle today, it was concluded that almost 1,500 people died.
All the generals asked for bombardment, but Yi Tusheng refused.
