Chapter 1,408 Great Victory

The kind of starlight that can turn night into day, those roaring thunderstorms, and the extremely hateful barbed wire fence, accompanied by the crisp and life-threatening iron...

And the overwhelming, seemingly endless arrows.

After an hour and a half of fierce fighting, Narwin calmed down and came back to his senses.

It is said that Yixi Weishe can turn a mud fortress into an invulnerable stone city overnight. So why has Lezhi City, which is so dilapidated and looks so vulnerable to attack, not changed?

The fire in the city was not started by him, and the shouting in the city was probably caused by the people. The roads were cut off by the iron net, and he couldn't send messages even if he wanted to.

Immediately following the cry of killing in the west of the city, it was obvious that after the Song people had solved their own offensive, they were free to lure the commander and the prince to attack.

The entire Lezhi City is actually a huge trap!

"Rumble--" Another huge explosion sounded from the top of the city, scaring Narwin to the point where he quickly fell to the ground.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Tibetan people also figured out some rules for avoiding artillery fire, which was to jump into bomb craters and lie down.

However, this time the terrifying divine thunder did not come down. Narwin raised his head and found ten giant steel beasts at the top of the city, spraying fire toward the west of the city! Immediately afterwards, there was a bigger explosion behind Lezhi City, and the flashing

The electric light illuminated the outline of Lezhi City extremely clearly.

Thundercracker!

This is a military deployment that seriously violates artillery drill regulations. If Su You were here, he would definitely be furious.

The general is the soul of the army. Among the generals who lead this army, Li Xian is too barbaric, Liu Shiheng is too flexible, and Wang Hou is not a simple and honest guy.

They also like to study military drills, but the three guys gathered together not to study how to implement them seriously, but to study what loopholes there were in the drills that could be exploited.

Liu Shiheng's favorite saying on weekdays is - Cao Dian is dead, but this man is alive.

With 10,000 newly taken over Tibetan troops fighting against 50,000 opponents, the thunder cannons in Lezhi City were left unused, which was unforgivable to Li Chunyuan.

However, Qingyi and Gui Zhang besieged the city in three directions, and it was not safe to place the thunderbolt cannon anywhere.

Until he discovered the city wall of Lezhi City. The east wall was two feet higher than the west wall.

The firing range of the thunderbolt cannon is low and flat, but the range is still far? After calculation, Li Chunyuan found that if the thunderbolt cannon was placed on the top of the east city and fired flatly towards the west city, the shells could span the two miles of Lezhi City, achieving artillery coverage of the west of the city.

This is undoubtedly a bold decision. Not to mention the losses caused by accidental shooting? Let’s talk about whether the earthen city wall of Lezhi City can withstand the recoil of the thunderbolt cannon, and the three well-trained soldiers who are equipped with each cannon as standard.

, turning into a new army and leading two Tibetan soldiers to operate, these are all huge risks and hidden dangers.

But in the hearts of the soldiers brought out by Liu Shiheng? Are all these just floating clouds? Killing the enemy is the kingly way.

So Li Chunyuan set up ten artillery positions on the east city wall, avoiding the city gate hole, with five gates on each side, laying wooden boards and sandbags as buffers, and asked that no salvo fire be allowed? Then let the Tibetan soldiers be responsible for transporting and loading the bombs, and the New Army soldiers

Responsible for adjusting the pull bolt? It feels like it can be used.

But when it came time to use it, who cared whether it could fire a volley? The soldiers kept urging the Tibetan soldiers to reload, and then fired wildly towards an invisible place in the west of the city.

The shells roared over Lezhi City, so that Huang Hu who was guarding the top of the city could almost feel the heat waves rolling on his back, and then fell hard into the woods where Qing Yijie Guizhang was hiding.

The earth began to shake? The air waves lifted branches and stones. No matter whether there were people inside or not, after this wave of attacks, everything there became a piece of scorched earth.

After that, ten thunderbolt cannons began to fire freely. The gun sighting parameters of each area were known to the soldiers, but where there were more people and where there were less people, they basically relied on guessing.

Huang Hu raised his head, put his leather-gloved hand on his eyebrows to protect his eyes, and looked down the city.

Under the wall, the soldiers who had rearranged their gun emplacements began to join the chorus.

Countless explosions covered the entire battlefield. Under the power of this iron fire, countless Tibetan troops screamed and ran, and then were swallowed up by flying shrapnel and smoke.

The crossfire of artillery fire from both sides of the east city just missed the tall sentry tower on the urn in the city. Gao Le climbed to the top of the building in fear and fired a signal flare.

The signal bomb seemed to be silent amid the sound of the cannon, flying to an altitude of tens of feet, and then exploded into a pile of sparks.

In fact, there was no need at all, because Li Xian and Liu Shiheng, who were more than ten miles away, had already come over with six thousand new troops when they heard such a loud noise.

The bombardment only lasted ten minutes. Huang Hu patted the bones beside him that were already pissed with fear: "Get up, it's time to work!"

Countless cavalrymen had already poured out of the water gate of Lezhi City. The horses jumped into the icy river water, went upstream along the river bank, bypassed the barbed wire fence and landed again, and rushed towards the exhausted Tibetan army.

The west gate opened wide, and the civilians rushed to the top of the city and began to push the sandbags piled on the top of the city hard down the city.

There was no time to destroy the barbed wire fence, so the sergeants directly carried the wood that had been prepared in the city to crush the barbed wire fence, piled on the sandbags pushed down from the city head, and now built a passage out of the city.

Lu Zun had already gathered the secret of the medicine, and had already gathered his troops. The victory of 10,000 against 50,000, and the defeat of Guizhang and Xiazheng had already made them extremely excited.

After today, they will be the heroes of Qingtang who will replace Guizhang and Xiazheng!

The road had just been paved, and Chileqiu, who was five feet tall at the shoulders, was tightly packed with medicine, and rushed out of the city gate like the wind: "Kill——"

Qingyi Jie Guizhang and Xiang Zheng were nowhere to be found, and countless Tibetan people who had already lost their souls only realized when they saw the two cavalry troops leaving the city, shouted in unison, and ran towards the way they came.

But they were infantry and had almost no resistance in front of the galloping horses and swords. They were quickly overtaken, chopped down, and trampled.

The entire West City turned into a Shura field of swords and blood. Jie Yaomi and Lu Zun clashed back and forth, and the one who prevailed was invincible.

It wasn't until he drove a group of infantry troops onto a mine that slipped through the net and killed several of them with a loud bang that Jie Yaomi calmed down for a moment: "Ming Jin! Return to the army—return to the army to assemble—"

Li Chunyuan has already arrived on horseback: "Regiment training, let's clean up the battlefield first."

The sky was getting brighter, and Jie Yaomi looked around the battlefield: "Li Langjun, you are a true god!"

The rebels who fled west ran directly into the big net of Li Xian and Liu Shiheng. The fighting lasted for half a day, and the more than five thousand elite Qingtang soldiers who escaped from the Thunderbolt Hell became the target of the gun.

By the time Li Xian and Liu Shiheng rushed back to Lezhi City, Li Chunyuan and his sergeants had already cleared the landmines and began to dismantle the barbed wire fence.

Two huge piles of corpses had been piled up on both sides of the west city. Li Xian held the saddle bridge with his hand and complained to Liu Shiheng in a low voice while reining in the horse: "Look at the soldiers you led, they don't even know how to leave more tooth sacrifices for the upper peak...

…”

Li Chunyuan had already arrived on horseback and saluted Li Xian and Liu Shiheng: "The last general has seen the Taiwei, Jiedu, fortunately he has lived up to his command."

Li Xian's face changed immediately and he burst into laughter: "Yes, well done, the army was defeated by 50,000! Have Qingyi Jie Guizhang and Xiazheng been found?"

Li Chunyuan shook his head slightly: "I only found Xiazheng's severed arm holding the battle axe, and Qingyi's ghost seal... I heard from the prisoner that he left the woods before the shelling last night, and he is still searching it now."

Li Xian said sternly: "We must find him. This thief once raised an army to attack and kill my logging sergeant, and tortured seven people in the primary school. He sent a letter to Jing Sili, lured his 6,000-strong army, and destroyed it at the foot of Tabai City."

"

"It must be found. If it is alive, it must be dedicated to the palace and punished according to the law, so as to comfort my heroic spirit!"

Li Chunyuan said: "Commander Jia was an eyewitness who witnessed the incident back then and has already led the army to conduct an inspection."

Liu Shiheng glanced at the battlefield and then at the valleys on both sides: "Did you use thunder cannons? Where were they placed?"

Li Chunyuan cupped his hands and said: "General Mo wants to apologize to Jiedu. Last night I placed the thunder cannon on the east wall."

"What?!" Li Xian and Liu Shiheng were both shocked: "Take us to see it quickly!"

When he climbed onto the east city wall, Liu Shiheng looked at the gun emplacements: "I have indeed told you that Cao Dian is dead and people are alive, but you guys... are simply cowards!"

But Li Xian laughed and hugged Li Chunyuan's neck: "Grandma Wang has a baby Guo, and this time we also have a baby Li in the army. This courage is really boundless!"

Li Chunyuan was obviously not used to this kind of affection, and said awkwardly: "There is a group of thousands of surrendered troops below the city, waiting for the captain to receive them."
