Chapter 220
Previously, although our army had damaged General Ao and his brothers and thousands of earth-classes, it had also tested the reality of the Mingren and locked down where the Mingren's cannon was set up. Beizhi suggested that the general launch the second round of attacks as soon as the Boming cannon arrived. At the cost of losing hundreds of infantry, the two Boming cannons were covered to close the range of the Mingren's cannon. With two enemies and one, we waited for an opportunity to remove the Mingren's cannon. As long as the cannon was eliminated, the Fengxin Pass defenders would not be afraid, and they could go down in one go!"
"How can I explain to Prince Sheng if I lose hundreds of troops?" Wei Di's head is now bigger than two.
He originally suggested to the Emperor of the Great Manchu to expedition to Obi Island, thinking that even if he couldn't fight, he could come. He would be outside and would be unbearable. After landing, he destroyed or hid the warships, and divided the land with the Daming Dynasty on Obi Island and became the local emperor for several years. Unexpectedly, when he went to sea, the treacherous and slim Manchu emperor sent Prince Sheng to supervise the army.
Prince Sheng is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Great Manchu Dynasty. He led troops to suppress the Western Regions and the rebellion in the rebellion of the border. His martial arts skills were unfathomable and he was a character that caused Wei Di to a headache. Now that he had suffered too much loss when he attacked a small Fengxin Pass, he had no results. Wei Di must not be able to explain to Prince Sheng. Moreover, just now, a sentry from the rear came to report that Prince Sheng's special envoy followed the Booming Artillery Team and was about to arrive at the camp station soon.
"Mr. Don't worry, Prince Sheng, there is a clever plan to prevent the Marshal from being blamed..."," A counselor named Wang Ping came forward to Wei Di and whispered to him.
"Great charity! Staff Wang is indeed a master! This matter is left to you to deal with!" After hearing Wang Ping's remarks, Wei Di's brows immediately stretched out.
"Yes! Grand Commander!" Wang Ping accepted the order and immediately arranged for the "first thing" to summon relevant generals and soldiers from each battalion to issue a closure order...
"Master, the mountain green that bombs the cannon..." Wei Cen reminded Wei Di.
"By the way, after these two Hongming cannon trucks arrive, we will leave them to the staff guard to arrange them in person!" Wei Di patted his forehead," said Wei Cen.
"If the rank of the rank of the rank of the corpses, the commander must assign some powerful personnel to the corpses. The other two corpses have a great relationship. Idle people, no matter the official rank, must not get close to..." Wei Cen also attached to Wei Di's ear and whispered a few words.
"Everything is as you said. No matter what, Feng Xin Pass must be taken down!" Wei Di punched the table in front of him. It has to be said that the war in the past two days has made him extremely angry. If he still can't get Feng Xin Pass this time, he will be frustrated in his chest and cannot be vomited out, and Wei Di's anger will be pissed to death.
"There is a plan for low-level positions." Without a single soldier, a man can capture the commander of the Ming people alive with just a low-level position, and Fengxin Pass can also go down in one go!" A strategist named Yu Jia shook the feather fan aside and looked at this side with a sneer.
"I said to Teacher Yu! Why do you have a trick to keep? Didn't you see that I am anxious to get angry now?" Wei Di walked down from his seat, came to Yu Jia, and held his hand: "Let's go and walk outside the camp and talk." Although the young general controlled by Tang Xiao did not hear the conversation between Wei Di and the strategists in the tent, two hours later, the commotion of the coalition formation still attracted his attention. It turned out that the Hongming cannon chariot arrived. Under Wei Cen's arrangement, dozens of strong horses dragged two huge iron carts into the open space of the coalition formation" and began to debug the two Hongming cannons on the iron cart!
The origin of the Booming Cannon was actually modified by the robbed Shenming Cannon when the southern barbarians fought against the Daming Dynasty. Because they were used to bombard the Daming Dynasty, they were called the Booming Cannon by the barbarians. This time the two cannon cars sent here were movable cannon cars modified by the barbarians, and were transferred by the barbarians to the vicinity of Fengxin Pass very early. This time the coalition forces came here just in handy.
The harmonious cannons of Manchus are powerful, but they are also huge in size, and the southern hills and wilderness are complex in terrain." Fifty harmonious cannons were escorted by Prince Sheng himself, and it was difficult to transport them from the southern mountains and lands for a while. The vanguard troops led by Wei Di wanted to break through Fengxin Pass as soon as possible, and these two bombing cannons were the most powerful siege equipment they currently use.
Because I had never expected that the commander of Mingren guarding Fengxin Pass was so powerful, he withstood two rounds of attacks by only two thousand soldiers and horses. On the coalition, Ao Yin and five thousand soldiers were defeated in the robbery camp. Later, Deputy Commander Ao Deng was accidentally killed by cannons. This series of accidents caused heavy losses to the coalition forces.
At this moment, Wei Di was already a little confused, losing several generals and 3,000 troops but gaining nothing. Wei Di would not be able to explain to Prince Sheng, the real commander of the Manchu Expeditionary Force. Wang Ping had to ask Prince Sheng’s special envoy for inquiries. If he perfunctorily ordered the special envoy, he might not be able to perfunctorily treat Prince Sheng. The most important thing in front of Wei Di now is that he must take Fengxin Pass!
"What? Deputy Commander Ao and his two brothers, and more than 3,000 soldiers were killed by heavenly thunder!?" Prince Sheng's special envoy was shocked when he heard the remarks of Wang Ping, a counselor under Wei Di.
Is it raining in the sky these days? Where does the sky thunder come from without rain? Even if it is sunny and drought thunder, it just hit the head of the Ao brothers? More than 3,000 soldiers and horses were killed. What a huge sky thunder?
Although Wang Ping was guilty, he still replied to the envoy with confidence: "They were really struck by thunder! Obi Island is not as good as the Jiuzhou Continent." The weather on the island is strange. The frontline generals and officials knew about the Ao Deng brother being struck by thunder. Moreover, our Marshal Wei was also on the scene at the time and saw it with his own eyes! Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"
"Master Wei is also on the scene? So many soldiers died." Why wasn't he killed?" The envoy couldn't help but wonder.
"I'm sorry to see you! Marshal Wei was lucky enough to escape from countless thunderstorms. This is a miracle of life!" Wang Ping answered the special envoy very seriously and calmly. He used the usual shameless and rogue style of the officials of the Tiann Dynasty to the extreme.
"It turns out that God has lost several generals and officers, three thousand soldiers and horses!" The envoy looked like he suddenly realized. It seemed that this matter was indeed not easy to hold Marshal Wei responsible.
Taking advantage of the eyes of the young general of the puppet coalition army, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw the two iron cannons in the coalition formation. Currently, there is only one Shenming cannon in Fengxin Pass, and there are two Hongming cannons here, and they are cannons with the power of Shenming cannons. Once these two Hongming cannons are allowed to enter the effective range and the Shenming cannon tower is destroyed, "Fengxin Pass will basically be unable to defend it."
The young general of the coalition forces controlled by Tang Xiao pretended to be curious and wanted to get close to the two bombardment guns "to do some destruction, but was immediately driven out by Wei Cen's people. Wei Cen was very cautious in acting. The two fourth-level Earth Yuan-level powerhouses assigned by Wei Di to guard the two "non-artial artillery regiment personnel and idle people, no matter who they are, must not get close. Compared with the movable cannon cart, the Shenming artillery Tower has actually fallen behind. Although Daming Chao has been calling the Anti-Manchu Restoration Kingdom on Obi Island in recent years, the real ruler of the Daming Chao has always adhered to the long-standing tradition of the five thousand years of Yanhuang Heavenly Dao, focusing on defending the territory, and not expanding its military strength. The slogan of the Anti-Manchu Restoration Kingdom is just hanged on the mouth to gather people's hearts. No Daming Chao emperor really wanted to fight back to the Jiuzhou Continent.
Maintaining stability is above everything else, war is exhausting the people and causing money, and may also cause the people to rebel. The emperor of the Daming Dynasty was not stupid at all in this regard.
Therefore, the Shenming Cannons of the Daming Dynasty can only be used for defense, but these Shenming Cannons are slightly modified, and "with iron carts and four-wheel drive, they can indeed be used to attack cities and villages. In this regard," the southern barbarians did not deliberately suppress the power of the Shenming Cannon like the Daming Dynasty.
The Shenming Cannon was extremely powerful, powerful enough to blow up the city gate and even collapse the city wall. When Tang Xiao saw these two cannon cars, he had to be particularly vigilant. On the one hand, he controlled the movements of the two Boming cannon cars on the coalition side. On the other hand, he also entered his own Shenming cannon battery, commanding several gunners to be ready to blow up the two Boming cannon cars that entered the range range at any time.
Soon, the coalition forces launched the second round of attacks on Fengxin Pass. This round of attack was commanded by Wei Di himself, and the sword and shield soldiers were still as the vanguard. Wei Cen's two artillery vehicles quickly entered the attack range of the Shenming Artillery Tower under the cover of a crowd.
Entering the attack range only means that it can be hit theoretically. At this moment, the cannons of both sides are still far apart, and the life rate of Shenming bullets going to the parabola will be very low. Therefore, Tang Xiao has not fired a cannon for the time being. While letting two hundred crossbows and more than a thousand soldiers defend the city walls, he closely watched the movement of the two bomb artillery through the vision of the young general who mixed into the coalition.
The two Hongming artillery chariots finally stopped after five minutes of travel. Taking advantage of the observation of the coalition general from a distance, the gunners of the Hongming artillery chariots had already begun to drive piles and fixed artillery chariots, and some gunners were carrying shells. It seemed that they were preparing to attack the Shenming artillery chariots at the pass! After learning about all this, Tang Xiao immediately asked the gunners of the Shenming artillery chariots to aim, ignite the lead, and fired a Shenming bomb at one of the two Hongming artillery chariots with a bang.
