Chapter 988: Breaking the Leaves (Second Update)

Jia Meng Pass.

The bombing continues.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

From time to time, a fire-shattering thunderbolt fell from the sky, and then burst into brilliant flames with a bang.

"We can't go on like this, General!" A general of the Qin army said to Wei Yu with an anxious face: "Now everyone in the pass is in danger, and they are all afraid of going to the city, if it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before the army is discouraged." ”

Wei Yi, who was standing at the top of the mountain, snorted and said viciously: "How can you defend if you don't go to the city?" Do you want me to give up this Jiameng Pass? ”

Wei Yi's heart also knew very well that what his subordinate general said was the truth, but the problem was that the current Zhao army not only continued to bombard Jiameng Pass with earth-shattering thunder every day, but also sent a small group of elites to carry out tentative attacks on Chengguan from time to time.

In this way, once the soldiers of the Qin army are not on the city wall, they may be successfully attacked by the Zhao army.

Therefore, even though Wei Yi was extremely helpless in his heart, he still said very firmly: "Pass on my order, anyone who does not obey the military order and is unwilling to go to the city to defend will be killed!" ”

After a pause, Wei Yu slowed down his tone a little and said, "Also, the number of people defending the city can also be appropriately reduced, so as not to make our soldiers sacrifice in vain, understand?" ”

Looking at the smoke of Jiamengguan at the bottom of the mountain, Wei Yi couldn't help but sigh, only to feel a lot of pressure.

Originally, in Wei Yu's expectation, this time the battle should be to stand on top of the wall, laughing at the Zhao soldiers under the wall rushing up to die.

However, now the fact has become that he stood on the mountain and watched the soldiers of the Qin army under his command completely suppressed by the long-range firepower of the Zhao army above the pass, and they were bombed in vain......

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Just when Wei Yi was depressed, Li Mu stood in the camp of the Zhao army, and also heard a piece of news that made people unhappy.

The quartermaster was reporting to Li Mu: "Governor, the stock of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder is running out, if it is consumed at the current rate, then by noon tomorrow, there will be no more Heaven-Shaking Thunder available." The subordinates thought that maybe they should slow down the projection frequency. ”

After all, Handan is still too far away from Jiameng Pass, and all the earth-shaking thunders in Zhao State are all produced from a few gunpowder workshops in Handan, so when the sky-shaking thunders are consumed in large quantities, this situation of short supply arises.

Li Mu frowned slightly, and only said after a while: "No need to stop, continue to bombard the enemy formation at the current frequency." ”

Pang Xuan stood aside, heard this conversation clearly, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "It's really strange, is this Jia Meng Pass of the Qin people really so hard?" ”

You must know that Zhao Jun has been continuously bombarding Jia Mengguan for five days.

According to the guess in advance, the wall of Jiameng Pass should not be able to resist it in three days at most, but judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Li Mu and Pang Xuan have made mistakes.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "If you can't break through the city wall today, then tomorrow you can directly attack according to the conventional tactics." It has been bombarded for so many days, and the wall of the Qin people is no longer as stable as before. ”

Pang Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

At this moment, an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly attracted the attention of the two.

The two turned their heads to look, and then they saw that the tall city tower in Jiamengguan collapsed all at once, and countless stones fell to the ground with a bang, splashing smoke and dust in the sky, obscuring everyone's sight.

Pang Xuan's mouth opened wide, and his heart was full of surprise and joy.

What he had been waiting for a few days finally happened!

Next to Pang Xuan, Li Mu also showed a hint of excitement, and gave an order very eagerly.

"Beat the drums, march!"

The earth-shattering drums began to sound, and Zhao Jun rushed out of the camp like a tide, rushing towards Jiameng Pass, which was not far away.

"Not good!" When the captain on the mountain saw this scene, his chest suddenly felt as if he had been hammered with a hammer.

From Wei Yu's point of view, he was actually better able to see what was going on than Li Mu.

Not only the high city gate tower, but even the section of the wall facing the Golden Bull Road also collapsed in a small part, forming a slope about two or three zhang long, enough to climb.

As long as the soldiers of the Zhao army rushed here, they could easily rush up the wall along this blown up slope, and by that time, everything would be over.

Almost without thinking, Wei Yu roared angrily: "Quick, Ming Cymbal, Ming Cymbal, Ming Cymbal!" Also, shoot arrows now, shoot arrows! ”

After so many days of stalemate, the first face-to-face fierce battle between the two armies of Qin and Zhao in the real sense finally began.

The war entered its most intense period almost as soon as it began.

At the beginning, the Qin army, with its dense dual firepower from the gate and the mountain, once firmly suppressed the charging Zhao army on the narrow Golden Bull Road.

But the Zhao army's will to attack the city is also very firm, because the governor of Li Mu has already spoken before the war, and any Zhao Guoren who can take the lead in climbing the head of the city of Jiameng Pass will be promoted by two levels after the war, and the official will be promoted by one level!

After paying the sacrifice of nearly a thousand people, the first officer of the Zhao army finally succeeded in rushing to the city, wielding the sword in his hand to cut down many Qin defenders one after another, and established a foothold for the Zhao army on the wall of Jiameng Pass.

Seeing more and more Zhao soldiers rushing onto the wall, Li Mu nodded with great satisfaction, and said to Pang Xuan: "This warrior who rushed to the wall is very good, I seem to have seen him somewhere." ”

Pang Xuan said with a smile: "This son's name is Sima Shang, who served under the Emperor of the Drama Qing before, and the Emperor of the Drama was full of praise for this son, saying that when the countries attacked Zhao, he was able to keep the party, and this son also made great contributions." ”

"Sima Shang?" Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, I remember this name." ”

A general of Zhao Guo standing behind Li Mu shouted: "Look, the Qin army on the mountain has begun to retreat!" ”

Li Mu looked up, and sure enough, he found that the smoke and dust were billowing on the mountain, and many Qin troops were retreating in a hurry, and the banners were very scattered.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth, and he said to Pang Xuan: "Pang Qing, quickly organize a pursuit, you must not let the people of the Qin State escape!" ”

Pang Xuan responded excitedly and immediately went to mobilize troops.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering cheer rang out, attracting Li Mu's attention.

With a tooth-souring sound and friction sound, in the cheers of countless Zhao soldiers, the gate of Jia Meng Pass finally slowly opened completely towards the Zhao army coming from the north.
