Chapter 324: Soldiers Arrive

"Boom boom boom..."

More than a hundred cannons spewed out flames, and the shells whistled towards the Tongguan city wall. Read М

The soldiers holding flintlock rifles aimed at the Xiliang soldiers and pulled the trigger.

For a moment, the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall were beaten and couldn't raise their heads.

At this time, the soldiers of the royal palace rushed to the earth hole on the city wall with wooden barrels filled with gunpowder.

Qu Dan hid on the other half of the city wall.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly felt very uneasy.

However, the firearms of the Yan Wang army were too powerful. No matter how the generals urged, the Xiliang soldiers were unwilling to fight back near that position.

Under his helpless gaze, the Yan Wang soldiers quickly reached the bottom of the city wall with wooden barrels.

They stuffed the wooden barrels into the earth hole in the city wall.

Because the earth hole was small, they even picked up their swords and dug on the city wall.

Looking at this scene, Qu Dan became more anxious.

He kept ordering archers to shoot arrows at that position.

However, the soldiers of King Yan seemed to have been prepared.

The sword and shield soldiers holding shields raised their shields high to protect the soldiers responsible for digging underneath.

The bows and arrows could not cause them any harm.

Seeing this scene, Qu Dan looked ashen.

Half an hour later, the soldiers of King Yan suddenly retreated from under the city wall.

At this time, he saw the burning matchlock on the ground.

"It's over!"

A voice sounded in his heart.

Even if he was stupid, he knew what the soldiers of King Yan had buried in the earth hole in the city wall.

"Boom!"

A loud bang broke through the sky.

The huge gunpowder flew more than ten meters high.

The earth hole and the nearby city wall collapsed in the violent explosion.

Dust and blue brick fragments flew into the sky and fell like hail.

The nearby Xiliang soldiers were directly shattered in the explosion.

Many Xiliang soldiers were also shocked and their ears bled.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a gap of four or five meters wide appeared in the city wall.

Chang Wei exhaled heavily.

Although he covered his ears in advance, he still felt pain in his eardrums.

But what excited him was that it worked, and the gunpowder barrel blew up the city wall.

"Follow me and take Tongguan!" In excitement, Chang Wei drew his sword and rushed to the gap alone.

Guan Tong was startled and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers to follow.

At this time, the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall were stunned by the violent explosion.

When they reacted, the Yan Wang soldiers rushed to the gap like a tide.

Because the Xiliang soldiers were evenly distributed on the 300-meter city wall.

The Yan Wang soldiers suddenly rushed over, and it was impossible to mobilize enough troops at once.

A small number of Xiliang soldiers appeared in the gap of the city wall and were quickly dispersed by the heavy infantry in front.

"Circle formation!" Chang Wei shouted.

After killing the Xiliang soldiers at the gap, he immediately asked the soldiers to form a semicircle formation in front of the gap.

In this way, the outer soldiers can prevent the Xiliang soldiers from rushing to the gap, while ensuring that the soldiers of the royal palace continue to enter the city from the gap.

"Occupy the city gate!" More and more soldiers poured in from the gap, and Guan Tong immediately led the soldiers to the city gate.

...

"What's that sound?"

Thirty miles away from Tongguan, the tide-like Beidi cavalry was galloping.

Suddenly they vaguely heard a thunder-like sound coming from the direction of Tongguan.

"It must be the troops of the King of Yan attacking Tongguan, that's the sound of artillery." The Langlu next to Temuta said.

"No." Another Langlu said, "Listen carefully."

It turned out that after the loud noise, there was a faint "boom boom boom" sound.

Temuta frowned, "I didn't expect that the King of Yan would take the lead!"

"What should we do? Should we let the King of Yan occupy Tongguan?" A Langlu said angrily.

Temuta narrowed his eyes, "The artillery is still ringing, which proves that the King of Yan has not yet broken through Yanguan. We may not be without hope..."

Before he finished speaking, a team of Beidi cavalry suddenly caught up from behind.

The leading cavalryman dismounted and saluted, "My lord, a large army of Xiliang is behind us, led by Murong Hao's son."

"Murong Wen?" Temuta frowned, he naturally knew the son of this Xiliang Chanyu.

"What are they doing here?"

Temuda snorted coldly, now he hated the Xiliang people.

I didn't expect them to be as useless as the Yuan family.

They did the task they assigned to them in such a mess.

Now, his brother brought back missionaries who could make artillery and made great contributions.

He naturally wanted to win back a game, so he had to do a better job in Jinzhou.

But now things are going in the opposite direction.

"They said they would defend Tongguan with us, and after taking Tongguan, Xiliang is willing to hand over Tongguan and Jinzhou to Beidi." The general said.

Temuda curled his lips.

What Murong Wen said was like farting.

If Tongguan could be taken this time, why would he need Xiliang's consent?

The whole Jinzhou must belong to his Beidi.

However, Xiliang is a vassal state of Beidi after all, and it may be useful in the future.

So he said: "Okay, let them come."

Not long after, Murong Wen rode his horse to the side of Temuta.

He bowed on the horse, and without saying much, he continued to go to Tongguan with Temuta.

After all, the most important thing now is Tongguan.
