And just in the river that attracted attention from inside and outside Tongguan, one after another roaring. Amidst the criss-crossing loess plateaus and gullies to the southeast of Tongguan, there is also a gray-headed, earth-faced and dusty team. From a high place, following the gravel-filled soil slope, holding the trapped equipment and rucksack slowly rolling. under.
In order to bypass the valley roads that were still submerged by the flooding Tongshui from the embankment, they still made a few big circles on these large and small loess plateaus; in the end, the forbidden pits became lush and lush in the re-growth of the vegetation. Gu Dao finally appeared in front of them.
It's just that when their whole bodies were scratched and scarred, they swung an axe and saw in the narrow pit and saw a little and not long before they encountered the obstacle again. It was a large piece of fresh soil and rock that was deliberately dug loose from the edge of the mountain and directly blocked the way out of the valley.
However, with this short distance and obstacles, it is no longer difficult to pass through the Litchi Road in Shuzhong to Jinniu Road, and then to Yinping Road. Taiping Mountain soldiers and combat engineering troops came all the way through the thorns, the mountain and the rock, and the wood clearing road.
I saw a few combat engineers wearing asbestos robes and asbestos gloves, climbed forward and used a few long and short drills to explore and gouge one after another, and then began to bury themselves in the gaps between the rocks and piles of soil and began to work busy.
Then, as a few wisps of blue smoke filled the rocks, these Taiping soldiers turned and left without hesitation, and ran to the back of the mountain wall dozens of steps away; then they heard a loud sound. The loud noise of the moving ground, and the earth and rocks in the sky that gush out like a spring;
It was like a short and hasty pouring rain out of thin air, and scattered countless raised mud and fine gravel on the Taiping soldiers who were waiting in the valley. Their hats, helmets and armor were all made of sand. Keep on ringing.
And at the place where the narrow valley road was submerged by the rock and soil piles, a large U-shaped gap with a width of more than ten feet has appeared out of thin air; although it still seems to be obviously higher than the ground, it was blown up and collapsed. The crunchy earth and rocks have naturally formed a low, gentle slope at the gap.
Therefore, with the emergence of such a gentle slope, the valley road that was originally blocked is no longer steep and difficult to climb, but has become enough for people to pull a packhorse through. Then, a peace soldier lifted and chopped down a large piece of bundled branches, stacked them vertically on the gentle slope, and immediately formed a footpath.
And Wang Dun'er, a new repair engineer who was fortunate enough to participate in it and witnessed everything, was also a little dizzy and generally felt the mysterious power of such multi-world good fortune, and could not wait to worship in the next moment.
Although he was no longer the child servant who didn't know anything in the tea garden under the Tianmu Mountain in Hangzhou as he fought all the way from the north to the south, he would occasionally recall the snow-white bosom and sad expression of the wife of the owner's family.
However, after he had greatly broadened his horizons, he decided that he would never want to go back to the original day-to-day life under Tianmu Mountain. Even the daughter-in-law of Zhuangzi, who was said to be a young official, once again shaved Aries. Lying in front of him like that will not work anymore.
Because he is already a Taiping soldier, and he is a member of the great cause of finding a way for most of the poor in the world. He also has the hope of gaining the fields in the future, restoring the rest of his life, and the prospect of more developed scenery, and the opportunity to see the beautiful scenery of the world is waiting for him.
Therefore, Wang Dun'er, carrying a special rattan box, did not hesitate to step on the rustling branches, and took the lead in rushing into the gap in the newly opened valley where the smoke was not completely dispersed; he waved his double-headed pick to continue to strengthen the ground and expand. The corresponding gap.
However, just in the next moment, in the lush mountains and forests that were stained gray behind the gap in the valley road, a lot of gray-headed and earth-faced figures suddenly emerged, and they screamed hoarsely toward Wang Dun'er; obviously it was Tongguan that was still in the process. A few guard soldiers and horses were left at this Taniguchi cross section.
However, Wang Dun'er, who seemed to have seen a lot of fierce battles, swung the short pick in his hand without hesitation, and then embedded it on the shoulder of the nearest enemy soldier who had climbed up; and pulled out his waist. The hanging claw hammer slammed on the arm of another enemy soldier; it suddenly fell into a concave V shape and rolled down.
In this moment, the combat engineers, headed by Wang Dun'er, who took the guys up, have shown no weakness, knocked down, smashed, and rolled down the enemies that had been rushed out one after another on the slope.
In the moment they created this momentary buffer, the follow-up gunners also rushed into the gap by installing the party's evil spikes, and facing the enemy soldiers squeezed back and forth down the slope, the fireworks were splattered. When he got close and fired, he screamed and slammed down with a sharp whistle.
So only a short time later, the hundreds of soldiers in the river who were in charge of garrisoning at Hengduan, originally serving as ambushes by surprise, were all destroyed on the spot except for a few who fled into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Subsequently, more long lines of fish and horses came from far away, leading the horses and horses carrying heavy supplies and equipment, and without hesitation flipped through this newly opened valley gap, and disappeared in the distance. The valley road is deep among the green trees.
And in Tongguan West City, Wang Chongying could only stare blankly, the smoke continuously blooming from the big river, and the whistling sound passing through the air; the fragments that splashed down on the wall of the Guan city, or the The buildings in the Neifang District of Zhongguan aroused a burst of exclamation, crying and other noises.
As for the crossbows, stone cannons, and poles that were pushed on the wall and intended to fight and deter them; most of them were already submerged in the fragmented debris along with the unrecognizable flesh and blood of the personnel being transported and manipulated.
Although the gunboats from these rivers bombarded them in turn, the number of casualties caused by the guards in the pass was actually less than a hundred; many of them were caused by panicking and falling off the city walls or trampling on each other.
However, this hit rate is not high, and it is more of a random drop from the sky from the uncovered river surface and a limited probability of damage; the blow and weakening of the morale and the morale of the military in the pass is the result that can be seen by the naked eye.
Because they couldn’t stop or counterattack at all; they could only watch the riverboats lined up in long snakes, and after damaging the possible obstacles and threats on the shore, they calmly re-anchored a little bit. Come forward
Then the scorching cannons were bombarded more accurately into the camps, between the stables, the market and the barns; and then it became a complex of buildings in the pass, among the broken and ignited fireworks, rushing to fight back and forth. Figure.
As for the crossbowmen lying in ambush on the shore, when these enemy ships were brought close, they would intensively shoot rockets for the purpose of blocking them. From the very beginning, as they were accidentally hit and blasted to pieces by the soldiers, they caused a loud shock. The horror and the scramble to retreat were completely bankrupt.
However, at this time, the Taiping Army formation under Xiguan City still continued to transport materials and build equipment without any haste; it was as if it had not been affected and disturbed by the bombardment from the river surface at all.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that a number of huge behemoths with several feet of height are rising from the ground during the period, and they are about to overlook the city of Xiguan from a high level. After all, Wang Chongying made up his mind to organize a counterattack by the dare to fight as long as it gets dark.
He doesn't believe in evil anymore, can these Taiping Army warships on the river continue to bombard his city defenses in the dark night when you can't see far away? However, when the night was dim and the hazy moonlight began to show a little cloud, the defenders inside the pass became angry again.
And Wang Chongying, who was tasting the food and drink of the soldiers in the room, and showing the joys and sorrows of the same, came to the city again amidst the noise of one after another, but saw the direction of the soldiers' vision full of fear, and he rose out of thin air. There are two behemoths hanging.
There was also a little bit of bright fire flickering, like the eyes of an invisible behemoth that was hidden in the dark and looked down at Guancheng, making people shudder just at the first glance, and can't help fighting between the two.
Only in the next moment, Wang Chongying quickly recovered, because when he was fighting under the Daqi Xin Dynasty, who was following the Yellow King in Chang'an, he also heard that there was a type of Taiping Army that could allow a canoe to carry people, hanging high in the air and overlooking. Secret technique, but didn't want to see the real thing here.
However, the other soldiers did not have the insights and eyesight of Wang Chongying. They were panicked and knelt down and worshipped, or dropped their swords and spears and fled the battlements and outposts.
Wang Chongying had to hurriedly recruit the guards and Yabinggu Lie down the city, and killed dozens of people on the spot; he moved a lot of money and silk to spread out that it was reward and encouragement to stop the escape and panic under the city wall.
However, the warships on the river that had been replenished by a series of strokes on the river began to fire again. In an instant, the river surface fired a volley of cannons flying around. Guided by the flares and lights hanging in the air outside the city, there were a few more tooth soldiers waiting in the center.
In an instant, dozens of people were bombarded to pieces and flesh and blood. Even Wang Chongying was splashed all over his face, and could no longer take care of the purge team, and hurriedly hid further inside with the help of the left and right. I thought it was a temporary escape in the gate tower.
However, just as the intermittent artillery sounded more than half of the night, the Taiping army in the camp outside the city remained indifferent, and there was no sign of taking the opportunity to launch an attack or assault.
This also allowed the guards on the front of the city to write only the basic post, but they were waiting for Wang Chongying, who had gathered a large number of people in the building in the pass, and only waited for the thieves to attack and attacked Wang Chongying. It was a bit disappointed and unclear.
As a result, I saw that I had tossed all night and couldn’t live, and when the moon was set to sink and the sky was about to usher in the light, most of the people were extremely tired; the long-awaited killing finally resounded; Wang Chongying with red eyes could not help Wake up and cheer up.
However, this time the enemy attack and attack came from the loess plateau south of Tongguan; I saw in the dark, along the mountainside, I don’t know how many sturdy figures, gliding down from the heights in groups;
Then in the shadows of the trees and the camp, a little light of fire was emitted like fried beans, or a large group of rising red flames were thrown; in a blink of an eye, the middle part of Guancheng will be relatively guarded against the emptiness, It burned into a sea of smoke and dust.
The Taiping Army under the city also rushed out of the camp, carrying a long ladder, pushing a blockade, and turning into a number of thick fire dragons that drove the tower directly. At this moment, even Wang Chongying would inevitably raise up the sword full of grief and anger and roar:
"Zhongerlang will come with me quickly, and be indifferent to the thief..."
In the next moment, there was a cannon shot from a high place on the loess plateau, blasting at him not far away, and breaking the flag holding the waist into two sections, also knocking out the courage and bloodiness of the pro-army around him. , Without any explanation, set him up and fled towards Dongguan City, where the enemy is based.
