Chapter 364

In the vast grassland, the Qingzhou army and Cangzhou army led by Niu Zhen formally met on the grassland. After that, Niu Zhen commanded Shanhaiguan.

It has been more than half a month since the departure of Jizhou. During this period, the news of the restoration of Jizhou's chaotic army has also spread.

"Look, general

During the March, Lu Fei suddenly pointed to the mountains in the distance, and a majestic pass stood between the heaven and the earth.

This is Shanhaiguan, the gateway of northern Chongqing.

"Shanhaiguan!"

Niu Zhen's eyes flashed a ray of light. For many years, Shanhai Pass, which is known as the most powerful pass in the world, has been controlled by the barbarians, and has become a must pass for the barbarians to go south.

If they attack the Shanhaiguan, they will garrison heavy troops in the military towns in Shanhaiguan. From then on, they will threaten the hinterland of the barbarians, and the attack and defense will be easy.

All the generals were looking at Shanhaiguan not far away, looking excited.

"The whole army forward! Take down the mountain The soldiers of Qingzhou army immediately quickened their pace.

Since entering the grassland, they have never seen any barbarian soldiers, only some abandoned barbarian bags.

Needless to say, the barbarians naturally retreated with the army.

if beshan died, the whole blood wolf tribe would face extremely serious punishment. It is not impossible for the barbarians to kill a tribe and die because of their bloodthirsty barbarism.

Because of this, the blood wolf tribe will be so panic, but also to consider a point, they will take advantage of the victory to pursue, while the barbarians have no time to add troops Shanhaiguan, won at one stroke.

It was noon, an hour later, Qingzhou army and Cangzhou army arrived at Shanhaiguan.

The once important military town was now in the hands of the barbarians. Looking at the barbarian soldiers on the wall of Shanhaiguan, Niu Zhen ordered them to camp on the spot.

Luo Xin was directing the artillery to push 150 guns to the front of the battle.

In the past, Shanhaiguan was facing the barbarians with a high wall. In front of it was the military town behind the wall.

Now the military town and the city wall are in the hands of the barbarians. If you want to take down the mountain customs, it's very easy. You just need to take down the military town.

"Liang Yubin, he Cheng!"

Because of Jizhou's excellent performance on the battlefield, Niu Zhen also brought them to Shanhaiguan in this attack, as well as hot-air balloons.

"Here it is Liang Yubin and he Cheng run over.

At this time, the situation in Junzhen could not be seen from the outside. Niu Zhen asked them to take a hot-air balloon to observe the situation inside.

Get the order, two people immediately in Qingzhou Army soldiers with the help of the fire began to lift off.

"Hey hey, commander, how about letting us go up?" Luffy said, licking his face.

Roxin and the other captains were also greedy.

On the battlefield of Jizhou, Luo Quan's appearance of boarding a hot-air balloon made them envious. Now boarding a hot-air balloon has become an honor.

Niu Zhen straightened his face. "This is a battlefield, not a child's house. If you want to board a hot-air balloon, I will ask your highness to let you sit enough. Now you cheer me up."

After that, Niu Zhen was very happy and ran to the basket.

All the generals showed a look of disdain.

Niu Zhen boarded the balloon. At this time, the soldiers pulled the rope of the balloon and slowly released it. The balloon kept rising. The situation in Shanhaiguan military town was immediately clear.

With a telescope, Niu Zhen observes carefully.

At this time, the Shanhaiguan military town was in chaos, full of slave soldiers and barbarians gathered on the city wall.

These barbarians pointed to his balloon and kept saying something. The scene was very chaotic.

Niu Zhen sneered in his heart, but the hot-air balloon scared the barbarian garrison.

However, after observation, he frowned. There were about 130000 defenders in this small military town, most of them were slave soldiers and some were barbarians.

Understanding the basic situation, Niu Zhen let the balloon down and went down to the ground.

"How's it going, governor?" Luffy asked.

"There are about 130000 garrisons in the city. It seems that Chagatai thought that we might attack the city, so most of the troops were left behind." Niu said.

"One hundred and thirty thousand?" Luffy was in trouble.

In the past, barbarians attacked the city. Now it's their turn to attack the city. Everyone knows that it's not easy to attack the city.

Niu Zhen nodded, "it's too late to attack the city tonight. According to the old rule, the chariots should be arranged outside to prevent the barbarian cavalry from sneaking attack. Bury the pot to make a meal, and attack the city tomorrow morning."

The generals nodded.

Then Niu Zhen discussed with the public the way to attack the city. It was basically impossible for 40000 people to attack the city where 100000 people were stationed.

"General, it's better to give a tit for tat. In the battle of Cangzhou last year, the barbarians tried to blow up our city wall. It's better for us to take a few barrels of gunpowder and blow up the barbarian's city wall directly this time. Once the city wall is broken, we can't be afraid of our firearm array."

Niu Zhen nodded, "this is a way."Luo Xin also said at this time: "this time Cangzhou army has brought a new kind of shell, which is called lime bomb. His highness says that this kind of shell is good for the soldiers guarding the city. It's better to use it tomorrow."

"Why do you take so much trouble? One hundred and fifty guns are fired directly. These puppies are sent to their everlasting regret." Lu Fei said with a quick roar.

It seems to others that he doesn't speak at a glance.

Niu Zhen shook his head and said, "soldiers on guard, go to have a meal and have a rest. Attack the city tomorrow."

Lu Fei scratched his head and went out with the others.

The next day, the soldiers had breakfast, and soon the bugle of assembly rang out in the camp.

At this time, the hot-air balloon lifted off again, and Niu Zhen stood on the balloon to see the whole situation.

This time, the Qingzhou army was on the attack side, and more than 40000 soldiers were in formation under the city.

On the top of the city, there are many barbarians with bows and arrows.

In fact, what Lu Fei said last night was right. After thinking about it all night, Niu Zhen decided to bombard with artillery, which is the advantage of Qingzhou army.

One hundred and fifty guns were laid out behind the gate, from one end to the other, every two meters, stretching for more than 300 meters.

Almost all the walls of Shanhaiguan are covered by artillery.

Boxes of shells were placed under the guns, and the powder packs were equally abundant.

Cangzhou army even brought the catapult and powder can, 200 meters away, can bomb the wall.

The barbarian garrison was not so lucky, Jizhou station lost all the artillery.

Because I'm confident that I won't fail this time, shanhaiguanzhong has no long-distance tools to fight back.

Looking at the dense soldiers guarding the city wall, Niu Zhen gave orders on the wall.

"Hit me hard with the gun!"

At his command, rosin showed a cruel smile. Then he called out, "fire!"

"Boom boom..."

In an instant, 150 guns ejected smoke and flames, and the shells hit the battlements hard. Suddenly, the rubble on the battlements flew.

And the city gate in front of the mountain customs became a hornet's nest under the bombardment of artillery.
