The explosion occurred in front of him, which made Haoge a little frightened, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and others were also startled, and as soon as the explosion passed, they hurriedly went up to Haoge and touched him to see if he was injured.

Hauge was touched a few times, and then came back to his senses, "I'm fine, help me up." ”

The explosion just now was indeed terrifying, but Hauge was also a battle-hardened man and quickly overcame his fears.

It's just that the current situation seems to be a little bad, the Jin army artillery on the city can't aim at the Ming army's artillery, and the probability is negligible if the cannonball falls right in the Ming army's tunnel.

The artillery of the Ming army is so powerful that the artillery in the city cannot be countered, and it cannot hit the Ming artillery under the ground, so it can only be bombarded by the Ming army now.

Fortunately, although this kind of cannon is powerful, it is not as good as the damage to the city wall, and the solid bullet is not as good as smashing directly on the city wall, so there is no need to worry about the Ming army destroying the wall.

Hauge was helped to his feet, "Leave a small number of soldiers to watch, and the brigade will withdraw to hide, and then go up the city wall when the Ming army attacks the city." ”

After speaking, Hauge tidied up the somewhat crooked Yishan crown, looked at the messy city wall, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly went down the city under the crowd of everyone.

The shelling just now made him feel palpitations, and he didn't dare to take the main passage, which must be the focus of the Ming army's attack, and he was afraid of being hit by another shot, so he left Tongguan by the wall.

Outside the city, the mortar artillery position is still bombarding, the sound of artillery and projectile explosion, if there is thunder, the city is filled with gunsmoke, and behind the wall is also thick smoke, two kinds of smoke, one white and one black, as if two worlds.

Wang Yan led Li Guo, Liu Fangliang and several other generals to the outside of the pass, but he did not go to the artillery array under the wall, but stood outside the effective range of the Jin army's artillery, and was watching the results of the artillery with great interest.

"Jianguo, this mortar cannon can actually hit the back of the city like a stone thrower, and the power is amazing, it is really a sharp weapon!" After Li Guo looked at it, he couldn't help but praise loudly.

Wang Yan smiled, when he first looked at this cannon, he was also shocked, but then after the enthusiasm passed, he understood that it was actually just that, and the way it operated was not much different from the Tiger Venerable cannon.

The key is the application of flowering bombs, if it is not a breakthrough in flowering bomb technology, then what is thrown is a live bullet, which acts on a projectile machine, but is farther than a cannon machine.

The shelling continued, and the artillery commander tried to make the shells more accurate and try to let the shells fall on the castle as much as possible. However, this is not easy, just like it is difficult for the Jin army to hit the cannonballs into the trenches of the Ming army, although the city wall is wider than the trench, it is still unlikely that it will fall on it.

Twenty siege mortars, one round down, only one or two shells can hit the city, the other landing points are different, can only maintain a general range of accuracy, but can not maintain a small range of precision strikes.

If twenty mortars are fired, they will fire a salvo at the city, and all of them will hit accurately, then who will dare to defend the city, Tongguan is afraid that it will be self-defeating.

"It's going to start again!" Liu Fangliang on the side also said excitedly.

He used to think that the people in the Ministry of Engineering had water in their brains, but now he completely forgot his evaluation of these artillery, but was deeply impressed by their power.

Twenty cannons opened fire again, and the artillery array rose up in turn clouds of white smoke and sixty or seventy pounds of iron bullets, one after another, piercing the sky and smashing towards Tongguan.

Bursts of explosions came, thick smoke billowed inside and outside Tongguan, and the Ming generals who watched the shelling were excited on their faces and wanted to do a big job.

The accuracy of the mortar cannon is not high, not as good as the red-coated cannon that is directly aimed at the bombardment, but he does not need to strike accurately, as long as it falls on Tongguan, whether it is the old wall, or the new wall, or behind the wall, as long as it can cause damage to the Jin army.

The Ming army was happy to see it, but it was bitter for the Jin army guarding the pass.

Although Tang Tong evacuated a lot of people, in order to prevent the Ming army from rushing the pass, it was still necessary to leave many people to defend on the city wall.

At this time, it was impossible to stand tall on the wall as before, and the artillery bombardment of the Ming army was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the flame of salvation in their hearts.

The Jin army squatted on the edge of the city wall one by one, but even so, some people were blown up in the explosion, and their bodies fell down the city wall.

Haoge took advantage of the interval of the Ming army's artillery bombardment and finally withdrew from Tongguan safely, but he did not leave, but commanded the Jin army behind the wall, first retreated to a safe place, and then found a way.

On the other side, the Ming army fought for a while, and the artillery needed to dissipate heat, so they all stopped.

At this time, Chen Yujie, who commanded the artillery team, came back from the front, and before he was far away, a familiar general shouted: "Old Chen, you fought well!" ”

Chen Yujie stepped forward and saluted Wang Yan first, "See the prison country!" ”

Wang Yan smiled and nodded, "The artillery team can master the skills in such a short time, you are indispensable!" You then command, bombard him for five days, and when you break through Tongguan, you will be remembered for a great achievement. ”

Chen Yujie hurriedly responded, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "Prison country, Haoge seems to have arrived in Tongguan." ”

"Oh?" Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, "See him?" ”

Chen Yujie nodded, "The minister saw a man in a yellow robe, it should be Haoge, and the artillery team also fired two shots at him!" ”

"Did you kill that guy?" On the side, Liu Fangliang's eyes widened, and he suddenly interjected and asked, and several other people also looked at Chen Yujie in unison.

"There shouldn't be, one flew overhead, and the other one was also a big deviation, and it is estimated that he is not dead, but I don't know if he is injured!"

Wang Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for a while, if it was better to kill that guy, he would definitely be like a bamboo, and he would be able to go to Chang'an overnight.

At this time, Haoge was behind Tongguan, listening to Tang Tong's report, the Ming army killed and injured more than 300 people in the shelling, and the trebuchets that were placed behind the old wall to suppress the Ming army's siege also lost six planes.

There is no doubt that the Ming army gave Haoge a dismount, Haoge's face was pale, but he did not leave Tongguan, and he was afraid that his morale would be further hit once he left.

Haoge sat on a boulder, and Tang Tong and the others gathered around him, "Is there a problem with the defense of the wall?" ”

Tang Tong secretly exhaled, "Back to Your Majesty, the city defense of Tongguan is extremely strong, although the artillery shells of the Ming army exploded fiercely, but the damage to the city wall was not great, and the casualties of key personnel were severe. ”

Haoge was slightly silent, and said after a while: "How sure is Aiqing to defend Tongguan?" ”

Tang Tong hesitated, "Back to Your Majesty, now that the Ming army is approaching to attack, the ministers are not afraid, and it is not a problem to block back, but I am afraid that it will take a long time, and the ministers will not be able to afford it." ”

If the Ming army shelled like this for a month or two, Tongguan would definitely not be able to hold it, Tang Tong paused, saluted: "If there is no such artillery bombardment, there is no problem for the minister to hold it for half a year, but now the minister thinks that Tongguan can be held for two months at most." ”

Hauge frowned, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Organize a surprise attack tonight to see if you can destroy the artillery of the Ming army." ”

"Yes, let the minister prepare." Tang Tong responded in a low voice, but he didn't really have any hope in his heart.

Haoge also saw that his morale was low, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "If the surprise attack is unsuccessful, then consider letting go of Tongguan and luring the enemy deeper." ”

"Let go of Tongguan?" Tang Tong raised his head suddenly, and the generals around him also exclaimed.

If Tongguan is held for less than two months, it will be better to take the initiative to retreat than to let the Ming army break through and the morale of the Jin army will be greatly demoralized.

Of course, this liberalization is not a blind liberalization, it must be planned and premeditated.

Guarding Tongguan, there are only two results, one is that the Jin State is exhausted in Tongguan, the Ming army breaks through Tongguan, and the Jin State is defeated. One is that the Jin army blocked the Ming army, and the Ming army could not attack for a long time, so they chose to retreat and come back next year, but there was no option to severely damage the Ming army.

Hauge thought that the second option was very likely, but now it seems that it is not so easy to block the Ming army, so the previous idea that was vetoed by him came out again.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Haoge nodded heavily, "Yes, give up Tongguan, but not give up immediately, but first hold on for a break to frustrate the spirit of the Ming army, and then pretend to be defeated and retreat, with the heart of Wang Yan, lead the Ming army to pursue, and finally gather the main force to choose a place to set up an ambush and defeat its army." ”

Tang Tong frowned when he heard this, but Bai Guangen on the side said, "Your Majesty, this is a bit risky!" Wang Yan has always been cautious and very stable, besides, as soon as Tongguan opened, 300,000 Ming troops poured into Guanzhong, and our ambush troops were not enough at all! ”

Haoge naturally knows, but if Tong Pass can't be defended, then he has the only way to fight back, and he has also thought of some ways to fight back with his troops······
