Chapter 325: Battle of Three Armies

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Guan Nancheng. Read М

The soldiers of the royal palace continued to pour in from the gap in the city wall.

Guan Tong, who was guarding the gap, kept urging the soldiers to join the battle.

At the same time.

The artillerymen also pushed the lightest field gun over.

The soldiers lifted the field gun over the gap together.

"Switch to grapeshot." The field gun landed, and the artillery commander immediately gave the order.

In front of them, soldiers with flintlock rifles were advancing, and the sound of "bang bang bang" continued to ring.

The goal of the heavy infantry was simple, which was to occupy the city gate.

After crossing the gap, they fought in the Xiliang soldiers with their sturdy armor, and withstood the slashing of the swords of the Xiliang soldiers.

As more and more soldiers with flintlock rifles poured into the city.

The Xiliang soldiers gradually found it difficult to hold on. Under the powerful firepower, they often lost 30% to 40% of their people before they could rush to the royal palace soldiers.

"Boom boom boom..."

After the artillerymen found their respective positions, they immediately opened fire.

Grapeshot flew towards the Xiliang soldiers pouring out of the city, and seven or eight of them died tragically in one shot.

"Go, go!" Qu Dan had already run down from the city wall.

He escaped from the southern city wall and hid behind the soldiers to give orders.

But despite his hysterical shouting, more and more Xiliang soldiers fled back from the front.

For them, this was not a battle at all, but a way to die.

Their companions were often killed by the weapons in the hands of the Yan Wang soldiers before they rushed to the front of the Yan Wang soldiers.

What's more terrifying is that the armor on their bodies has no effect on that kind of weapon. If they are hit, they will be injured or killed.

"Don't run away, charge!" Qu Dan shouted, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and he killed all the soldiers who escaped from him.

But there were too many soldiers who escaped, and he couldn't kill them all.

"Ah..."

Just as he swung his sword to kill the deserters, he suddenly heard several screams.

Turning his head, he found four soldiers lying on the ground, dying miserably.

One of them had his head knocked off.

Seeing this, he looked towards the south tremblingly.

At this time, the walls of the South Gate were full of Yan Wang's soldiers.

At the gap, the soldiers were dragging a cannon with a rope.

And there was already a cannon next to it.

He immediately felt a chill in his heart.

He realized that the cannon was not hitting these soldiers, but hitting him!

Thinking of this, he immediately ran away on horseback.

He didn't want to die under the cannon.

"Kill!"

South Gate.

Chang Wei was bloodshot under the protection of the heavy infantry.

Since he took charge of the royal army, he hadn't fought on the battlefield for a long time.

But today, in such a critical situation at Tongguan, he couldn't care so much.

Wearing the heavy armor customized by the Arms Department, his figure was even taller.

The long sword in his hand was swung with strong winds.

Xiliang soldiers were often killed and fell down before they could go three rounds under his hands.

Under his leadership, the morale of the heavy infantry reached its peak.

Many heavy infantry completely ignored the swords and slashes of the Xiliang soldiers, and slashed with swords and knives.

Some heavy infantry threw down their swords and knives, grabbed the Xiliang soldiers, and punched them in the face with their armored hands.

Soldiers wearing plate armor were covered with armor all over their bodies, including their hands and feet.

In order to make it easier to kill the enemy, the armor on their hands also had conical spikes.

When they clenched their fists, the spikes became more prominent.

Often, a punch would knock the Xiliang soldiers out of their combat effectiveness.

Some strong heavy infantrymen rushed directly into the Xiliang soldiers.

The Xiliang soldiers who gathered together often fell down in a small group.

At this time, the heavy infantry following behind would slash and kill.

Under the fierce attack of the heavy infantry, the Xiliang soldiers at the city gate were terrified, retreated step by step, and finally fled in all directions.

At this time, Chang Wei's armor was stained with blood.

Looking at the soldiers of the palace who were still fighting with the Xiliang soldiers in other places, he shouted: "Move the sandbags away and let the army enter the city."

After receiving the order, some soldiers formed a formation at the city gate to prevent the Xiliang soldiers from coming.

At the same time, another part of the soldiers carried sandbags.

In less than half an hour, the sandbags were emptied.

At this time, the soldiers who entered the city from the gap immediately separated a part of them to enter from the main gate.

The eight-jin and twelve-jin heavy artillery that stayed outside the city were also pushed in by the artillery.

More and more soldiers of the palace entered the city.

The flintlock soldiers gradually formed a large horizontal team from the east to the west of the city.

The artillery was in the gap in the middle of the horizontal team.

They marched and fired.

"Bang bang bang..."

Under the firepower of the entire line, the Xiliang soldiers suffered heavy casualties and fled to the north of the city.

The soldiers of the palace continued to advance forward.

At this moment, Qu Dan had already reached the north gate. Looking at the Xiliang soldiers who were in complete chaos, he closed his eyes in despair.

Chaos meant that the generals' orders would no longer be delivered to the soldiers in time.

Soldiers without command were nothing but scattered sand on the battlefield and could not fight.

"Run."

"Escape for your life."

"..."

The scattered Xiliang soldiers crowded at the north gate.

At this time, a group of defeated soldiers took down the crossbar behind the city gate and opened the city gate.

When the Xiliang soldiers saw the city gate open, they immediately swarmed out of the city gate.

In their instinct to survive, they no longer cared about military orders.

However, just as they rushed out of the city gate, they heard the ground seemed to tremble.

Looking to the northwest, they saw a black line moving towards here.

Some Xiliang generals were overjoyed, and they shouted: "Kill back, our reinforcements have arrived."

But when the cavalry gradually approached, their faces suddenly changed.

They recognized that they were not Xiliang people.

Although the cavalrymen all had whips hanging down their ears, they had hair in front of their heads.

Unlike the Xiliang people who had no hair in front of their heads, they could be distinguished even from a distance.

"Bei Di people." They immediately came to their senses.

The Bei Di cavalry came very quickly and arrived at Tongguan in a quarter of an hour.

When the Xiliang soldiers were at a loss, suddenly a young man rode out.

"Where is Qu Dan? Immediately welcome the Bei Di army into the city. From now on, this will be the Bei Di pass." Murong Wen shouted.

"Your Highness." A general recognized Murong Wen and immediately knelt on one knee.

One of the generals said, "Your Highness, the South City was breached by the troops of the King of Yan. Now our people have been killed and defeated. They are all scattered. The deputy leader is nowhere to be found."

"What! The troops of the King of Yan have entered Tongguan!"

Murong Wen and Temu Ta exclaimed at the same time.

Thinking that Tongguan was about to be occupied by the troops of the King of Yan, he immediately said to the generals around him: "Enter the city quickly and occupy the city gate."

The Beidi generals responded and led the cavalry to attack Tongguan.

But the defeated soldiers of Xiliang kept pouring out of the city gate, blocking their way forward.

Murong Wen and the Xiliang generals said sternly, "You should fight back now, otherwise you will be beheaded immediately!"

The generals looked at each other, and one general said, "Your Highness, the soldiers are all scattered. It is impossible to gather them now."

Temuda became more and more anxious as he heard the artillery sounds in the city getting closer and closer.

He said to the Langlu: "Kill these Xiliang soldiers and clear the road."

The Langlu received the order, shouted to the cavalry behind him, drew his saber and rushed towards the Xiliang soldiers.
