Chapter 370: Forcing Them into the Water

?? Hearing this, Qin Yue hurriedly responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, those rock walls are all lit with firewood at night, and the situation of the last time will definitely not happen." ”

"One more thing, since they still have a few days to launch an offensive, then let's repair the iron cables, those iron cables that have been sunk to the bottom of the river, they are all rearranged according to the previous plan, our opponents are always ready to attack, and we can't relax for a moment."

Qutang Pass also began to act in full swing, and according to the lessons of the soldiers' two defenses, the head of the city began to improve the work according to their ideas, and even the fort was specially corrected to correct the angle, in order to better attack the enemy.

Three days later, on the fifth watch, a dense drum beat sounded on the top of the city, and all the soldiers got up, and rushed to the wall of the pass with weapons in hand.

Cheng Xiaolian and Qin Yue discussed, if these people attacked, they would definitely choose this time to attack the pass, if it was earlier, the defenders at the head of the city would be able to see their traces clearly according to the pyre on the rock wall, they could only be beaten passively, and they would have to be beaten all the time.

If it's a little later, there is no way to fish in troubled waters in front of the ferrat, so this time is the best choice.

There has been no fighting for the past few days, and the defenders have been in good condition, so when they heard the drums, they immediately reached the city, and then the firehead army began to distribute steamed buns one by one. Everyone had food in their hands, waiting for the Geng Shang coalition to enter the firing range.

The soldiers on the rock wall also began to adjust the fort, because they lived in a very bad environment in this place, so they ate very well, and Qin Yue specially prepared braised meat and soju for them to ensure that their bodies could hold on.

The cannon on the rock wall sounded first, and the offensive of the big battle began, and soon the leading fleet rushed to the iron cable, and with a sound of the order, the next group of people dived into the water, these people were much better than those in the previous days, and they should have been recruited.

These people may have received some promises from the letter of the monk Geng Jingzhong, so they acted very decisively.

Cheng Xiaolian saw this scene and immediately ordered: "Pour fierce fire oil." "He must suppress this momentum, otherwise those people who have not gone into the water will also start to go into the water to help the Geng Shang coalition army, and he wants them to know that there is a price to pay for helping the Geng Shang coalition army.

The oil was poured into the water and floated down the torrent, and the torches followed, and the fire rose violently, illuminating the ground as bright as day. Qin Yue was also ordered by this scene: "Your Highness, this fierce fire oil is so fierce." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It's not all, the show is still to come." ”

Because they had been burned before, the soldiers of Geng Shang's coalition army were not very afraid of the fire, and some people even thought they didn't see it.

The archers and artillery at the head of the city were also looking for an opportunity to attack the ships below, but before they could make a move, a ball of flames had already engulfed a wooden boat, and the ship's sergeants suddenly let out a terrible scream.

The fishermen in the water were also frightened, they had been begging for so many years on the water, and they had never seen the water still catch fire, thinking that the other party had mastered some miracles, and the first thought was to escape, but just when someone showed his head and was caught by the fire, fortunately he reacted quickly enough, and immediately plunged back into the water, which only burned his beard, eyebrows and hair.

Geng Jingzhong, who was standing behind, was furious: "What the hell is this? How do they get their hands on these amazing things every time? ”

"Lord Wang, they must have capable people here, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to capture Qutang Pass."

It can be seen that the people around Geng Jingzhong have already had the intention of retreating, they are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of encountering this kind of battle, if they want to say that they can fight, but they can fight aggrieved, people don't fight with you openly, they only play some conspiracies, but these conspiracies and tricks can play their own tricks.

Geng Jingzhong glared suddenly: "Don't talk these!" You have also seen that the king's family and the whole family are all with him, if we can't capture Qutang Pass, we will have no place to stand, do you think Wu Sangui will return our place after eating us? ”

The lieutenant general coughed: "Lord Wang, what do you think of the combat power of the former Ming and Puppet Imperial Court?" ”

Geng Jingzhong sighed: "It's not a little bit stronger than I imagined." The face-to-face fists, feet, guns and sticks may not be very powerful, but this ability to play with intrigue has surpassed us. ”

"But if we want to enter Sichuan, we have to pass through this Qutang Pass, if we fight on land, we will not be afraid of them anyway, but this is another water pass, and they have lined up the iron cable, if we continue to consume, I am afraid that even if we finally lay down the Qutang Pass and take Sichuan, we will suffer serious losses."

Geng Jingzhong glanced at him: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Now Wu Sangui's main forces are fighting with the Qing court in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we might as well occupy half of the two lakes, anyway, Fujian and Guangdong have also given it to him, when Tang He attacked Qutang Pass, he did not resist for several months, or the east and west transferred the troops of Qutang Pass, and then took Qutang Pass, we might as well wait for the war in other places to be urgent, transfer the army, and then conquer Qutang Pass is not too late."

"Confused! Let's not say that we don't have the strength to go against Wu Sangui at all, let's just say your vision, what was the situation of Tang He at the beginning? The whole world is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, although he waits for other places to transfer the troops of Qutang Pass, if we wait for other places to transfer the troops of Qutang Pass now, then others have entered Sichuan, can they accommodate us? ”

Saying that, he roared: "The whole army is attacking!" Those who take a step back will be killed! ”

Shang Zhixin was originally planning to withdraw his troops, but he was stunned when he heard this, and quickly glanced at Geng Jingzhong next to him: "Brother Geng Shi, how can this situation be attacked?" We can't get to the top of the wall at the pass, let alone fight, so let's settle these bits and pieces first, and then talk about the attack. ”

"Brother Shang Shi, is there any good way?"

"What I mean is that those fishermen were recruited by us anyway, so they took knives and forced them to go down to dismantle the iron cables, anyway, they can't all be burned to death, as long as they remove the iron cables, we can attack the city, and when the time comes, who cares how we beat down Qutang Pass?"

Geng Jingzhong gritted his teeth: "Brother Shang Shi is right, just do what Brother Shang Shi said!" ”

The Geng Shang coalition army had never taken the lives of the Han Chinese at risk, and it was a tradition for them to enter the customs from the beginning, so the fishermen on the small boats were quickly forced to get off the boat with knives and began to prepare to dismantle the iron cables.

Cheng Xiaolian at the head of the city also saw this scene and sighed: "What a ruthless heart." ”

Qin Yue snorted coldly: "It's not a day or two since the Geng family and the monk family have done such evil. ”

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Don't pour the fierce fire oil." ”

Qin Yue was also a little anxious: "Your Highness, Ci is not in charge of the troops!" ”setFontSize();
