Chapter 446: The Power of Firearms
Ah Jian's battle to capture Jigong Mountain was extremely easy. Originally, there was a team of Wei troops stationed here on Jigong Mountain, about 50 people, and Li Fu sent these 50 people to visit, mainly for the purpose of patrolling and observing. Although the mountain of Jigong Mountain is much higher than that of Yang'an Pass, after all, there is a distance of dozens of zhang between the two, and Li Fu is not afraid that the Shu army will occupy Jigong Mountain, even if they reach the top of the mountain, is it difficult to fly over?
On the third watch, Ah Jian led dozens of skilled men to sneak up the mountain, the mountain road of Jigong Mountain is extremely steep, but for Ah Jian and them, it is like walking on the ground, under the cover of night, Ah Jian and others quietly climbed to the top of the mountain like a cheetah.
Except for one sentry, the other forty-nine Wei soldiers were all asleep, and Ah Jian sneaked to the sentry's side with a few light ups and downs.
For the sentry, he only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and before he could react to what was going on, he felt a chill in his throat, and he didn't even make a sound, and he was already dead of anger.
After killing the sentry, the next action was even easier, Ah Jian made a gesture lightly, and dozens of pro-soldiers each found their own targets, and got into a few tents.
"Flutter! Flutter! A few sharp sounds penetrated through the flesh, heard very clearly on the top of the mountain in the dark and silent night, and occasionally there was only a dying scream, but these voices were quickly annihilated in the night, leaving only boundless darkness and boundless silence.
Ah Jian ordered the fifty corpses to be disposed of, and when it was dawn, all the firearms were brought up to the top of the mountain.
The firearms department was an extension of the original firearms and was equipped with a large number of various firearms, which were sealed and stored in large wooden boxes, and had to be carried up the mountain one by one. By the time the firearms department has completely reached the top and completed its deployment, it is already time for the sky to shine and the morning sun to rise.
In the past three days, the Shu army has launched round after round of fierce offensives against Yang'an Guancheng, launching attacks almost before dawn every day, and only at dusk did they withdraw their troops and stop the battle. Although Li Fu repelled the attacks of the Shu army again and again, the pressure he was under was also very great, which made Li Fu almost have little time to breathe, and he went all out to deal with the battle.
However, today's attack of the Shu army seems to be a little late, it has reached the time of sunrise, Li Fu has not heard any movement in the Shu army's camp, Li Fu has a trace of doubt in his heart, is it possible that the Shu army has attacked for three days in a row, is this the rhythm of resting?
It stands to reason that it probably won't. The current situation Li Fu understands, he believes that Liu Yin understands better, once the Wei army's reinforcements arrive, the situation on the battlefield will be reversed in an instant, and now Liu Yin must capture Yang'an Pass before the Wei army's reinforcements arrive, so that he may occupy the initiative on the battlefield, and his Li Fu's duty is to desperately defend Yang'an Pass, and wait until the reinforcements of Zhonghui Dadu Governor arrive.
At this critical time. The Shu army suddenly stopped attacking, which made Li Fu feel inexplicable.
"General Qiyu. Last night, the Shu army suddenly sent a detachment of men and horses to seize Jigong Mountain. A ministry general reported to Li Fuyu.
Li Fu couldn't help frowning, his eyes fell on Jigong Mountain, the mountain of Jigong Mountain is not low, Li Fu needs to look up to see the situation on the mountain. Sure enough, what caught his eye was the military flag of the Shu people, a big "Han" character, there were only some patrol sentries on the top of the mountain, if the Shu army came to attack with all its might, Jigong Mountain would never be able to hold.
"Since it was lost last night. Why do you report now? Li Fu said sternly.
The general was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to respond, in fact, they didn't take the loss of Jigong Mountain too seriously, otherwise they would not have sent only fifty people to garrison.
Li Fu only spoke harshly, and did not hold his subordinates responsible, he also knew very well that even if the Shu army captured Jigong Mountain, it would not hurt the overall situation, and he did not believe that the Wei army could do much on Jigong Mountain.
"Boom!" At this moment, a bamboo tube-shaped thing flew from the top of the mountain, and it fell directly on the city wall of Yang'an Pass, only about ten zhang away from Li Fu, and suddenly there was an explosion, and in the fire and smoke, half of the body of the nearest Wei soldier was blown away, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Li Fu stood far away, but the shock wave from the explosion hit his face like a gale, almost blowing Li Fu down.
Li Fu was taken aback, looked up, dared to love the Shu army that occupied Jigong Mountain, it was the first time he had seen such a powerful and terrifying weapon, if the Shu army occupied Jigong Mountain, throwing more bombs on the head of Yang'an Guancheng was really a difficult thing to do.
"Shoot the arrows!" Li Fu visually measured that there was at least a distance of one arrow from the head of Guancheng to the top of Jigong Mountain, and he immediately ordered to release arrows to carry out a long-range counterattack against the Shu army on the mountain.
For a while, the arrows flew like a flurry, but they could only barely reach the top of the mountain, and Ah Jian had already asked some big stones to be piled up on the edge of the mountain to prevent the Wei army's arrows from counterattacking.
The piles of stones worked, and the Wei army's arrows clanged on the rocks, and not even a single Shu soldier was injured.
The explosion just now was Ah Jian's test, to see how far the bamboo grenade was thrown at the maximum, I tried it, and it was really good, now the Shu army is condescending, as long as the grenade is thrown far into the air, and then with the inertia of free fall, there is not much problem at all when it falls on the top of the city.
Ah Jian immediately ordered, all the firearms troops entered the free bomb throwing link, one by one bamboo grenades roared towards the city head of Yang'an Pass, and one after another gunpowder arrows with a long tail flame shot intensively towards the city head.
Soon, the entire Yang'an Pass City was shrouded in a sea of fire, violent explosions came and went, after each sound, there must be a terrible cry of the Wei army, these powerful weapons are by no means what armor and shields can resist, where the smoke of gunpowder fills, the stumps and broken arms, the flesh and blood fly, the deafening sound, mixed with countless screams, the entire Yang'an City has become a place of death and terror.
Li Fu was dumbfounded at that time, he really figured out that the Shu army had brought such an amazing weapon from there, almost with devastating lethality, and flattened the entire city of Yang'an Pass.
Li Fu escaped from this human purgatory with the support of his own soldiers, and from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but feel a trace of coolness, Yang'an Pass, it is very likely that he can't defend it. (To be continued.) )
