Xie Ming

Chapter 230 Turning the tide!

In the western section of the northern gate of Baoding Prefecture, enemy soldiers launched a surprise attack and blew up a gap large enough for three horses to run side by side!

When the situation was critical, Xiao Lang arrived at the front of the rift in time, stood on the east side of the city, and ordered the soldiers to fire their guns and bows and fire fiercely, and then hurriedly shouted at the others around him!

"Master Liu!"

"Where is Master Liu?!" Xiao Lang called out to Ling Yan anxiously.

"Yes! I'm here!"

"General, what do you want?!" Master Liu pushed aside the two archers in front of him, rushed to Xiao Lang, clasped his fists and answered seriously.

"Second Master, go, go quickly!"

"Hurry to the city and tell Ma Minglu!"

"Tell him to find all the previously prepared baffles and pre-made wooden walls, and transport them to the gap in the north gate as soon as possible!"

"Also keep enough manpower on standby to carry out the work!"

"Go quickly! You must act quickly!" Xiao Jingchuan gave the order, gritting his teeth!
"Yes! I understand!" Master Liu received the order, shouted back, turned around and left, running out without any delay!
"Gu Changting!"

"Looking back", Xiao Lang saw Mr. Liu running away, so he turned his head back and looked for him again.

"exist!"

"I am here!" Chang Ting also hurriedly snatched it back.

"You should hurry to the middle section and find Peizhong!"

"Tell him to send you two hundred soldiers!"

"Take your soldiers with you, climb the road down the city, and head straight to this location in the west!"

"Take over the equipment that Minglu has assembled and plug the gap for me from the inside!"

"Long Court!"

"If this place collapses, everything will be over!"

"Go quickly! Go quickly!"

Urgent need!
Looking at it now, Xiao Lang is worried and looks anxious!
"Yes!"

"If we let even half the enemy soldiers into the city!"

"I'm Gu Changting, and I'm here to see you with my head!"

Changting responded with great confidence!

He now understands clearly that this is a critical moment of life and death, and he cannot afford to make the slightest mistake!

Then Chang Ting's blood surged, and he resolutely accepted the order without saying anything else. He turned over and ran away!
Dongguan Gap! It's critical, no time to lose!

Just as Xiao Lang gave orders one after another, the enemy soldiers attacking the city charged more fiercely and arrogantly!
In order to create a gap here so that he could reach Changting and lead his troops to block the enemy from inside the city, Xiao Jingchuan ordered the remaining soldiers to bring jars of kerosene and have them throw them down one by one to set them on fire to block the road!

On both sides of the cracks and broken walls, there were orders and crazy shooting!

While giving the command, Xiao Lang also drew out the short gun from his waist, and led the soldiers personally, without retreating a single step, and fired fiercely towards the front of the pass below!
The attacking and defending sides started a stalemate in front of the gap in the western section, neither giving up an inch of ground!

The stalemate lasted for more than half a minute, and the enemy soldiers blocked their way, making it difficult to move forward!
Can!
This kind of stalemate will not last long!
But the good times did not last long, and suddenly, in the rear of the enemy camp!

All the cannons fired at the same time again!
Second round of artillery fire, followed by a sudden and powerful attack!
Moreover, the shooting angles of these multiple artillery pieces were obviously adjusted intentionally!
Several artillery shells were fired in a cluster towards the western gap where Xiao Lang was!

shhhhh!

Boom boom boom!

at once!

The artillery fire was deafening and resounded through the sky!
After a fierce bombardment, the number of enemy soldiers accidentally injured or killed by enemy artillery in this corner alone was no less than a hundred!
From this we can see how crazy Ajige's determination to lead the army in a decisive battle has become at this moment!
On the other hand, Xiao Lang was standing outside the east wall of the city, which was also hit hard by two cannon shots. On the front of the broken wall, most of the soldiers lost their balance and fell down.

There were also a few people who were at the outermost edge and accidentally fell into the gap, falling to their death or being burned to death in the sea of ​​fire!

On the city side at the western end of the gap!

Even more tragic!

Took several artillery shells!

Suddenly, bricks and stones flew everywhere!
Dozens of soldiers defending the city who were rushing and firing at the front line of the western rift were killed in the explosion!

The gap under his feet also collapsed and expanded!
Large pieces of bricks and stones rolled and fell, and the air was filled with smoke and dust!
When Xiao Lang steadied himself and looked again, he saw that the width of the gap under him was almost enough for two chariots to move at the same time!
The big thing is bad!

"not good!"

"Fire oil!"

"Hurry up! Throw more kerosene!"

"Land mine!"

"Have the land mines been moved?!"

"Hurry up and blow it up into the hole below!"

"We must not allow the bandits to sneak into the city during the chaos!"

"Hurry!" Xiao Lang gritted his teeth, trying hard to calm his mind and speak calmly.

In fact, at this moment, his hands, which were leaning towards the parapet in front of him, were already shaking!

At this moment, the eastern end of the broken wall had suffered less damage from the artillery fire, so after the soldiers stood up, under the command of Xiao Lang, they immediately followed the order and started working again!

Throwing kerosene and landmines! Red flames shot up into the sky, and the sound of explosions continued!
Besides this, they also took advantage of this opportunity to throw logs, rocks and bricks in an attempt to try their best to repair and fill the cracks.

Before the gate!

After a group of the Han puppet troops in Jixi were killed or blown away by their own artillery fire, they fell into a state of shock and stagnation for a short time!
This situation gave Xiao Lang and his garrison some breathing time to prepare for defense against the enemy!

However, this pause did not last too long, because some bandits in the enemy camp could no longer suppress their greed and began to charge towards the gap filled with thick smoke!

One can lead ten, and ten can lead a hundred!

In just a moment, the enemy soldiers in front of the pass started to charge the city again, and the momentum was extremely fierce again!

Even if Xiao Lang was personally at the helm here, with arrows flying everywhere and muskets suppressing the enemy, it would be difficult to intimidate them!

And after all, the gap has become a little bigger!
Soon, the situation in front of the hole will be completely out of control, and it will be impossible to block the flow of people!
Some Han puppet army soldiers took advantage of the chaos to rush to one end of the gap in the city, and the situation was about to collapse!
At this critical moment, life and death are at stake!

Suddenly!
Inside the gap, shouts of killing arose!
Gu Changting is here!

Chang Ting led two hundred soldiers and arrived in time, breaking out from the inner room!
Behind Chang Ting, there were soldiers holding up the wooden wall panels, preparing to block the cracks!
Gu Changting turned the tide!
On the two wings of the city walls, Xiao Jingchuan was in a panic, but then he saw this scene and his surprise turned into joy. He then hurriedly called on the guards at both ends to step up their efforts and provide stronger firepower support!

The vast land is built with blood and iron, and the heroic spirit of the reinforcements is as strong as the rainbow!

In an instant, the situation turned around, and the enemy soldiers were gradually forced back to the outer edge of the gap!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom!

Not far away, on the Beiguan City Wall, the city defense artillery had already begun to retaliate with heavy firepower!

A loud roar rang in my ears!

At the eastern end of the gap, Xiao Lang sent more men and found a few tiger squatting cannons, which were added to the front of the broken wall to cheer each other on!
This is changing!

The enemy soldiers appeared at the moment, and the troops rushing here gradually retreated outside in fear!
The first wave of powerful attack gradually weakened!

The enemy soldiers were only a hundred steps away, and the bandit archers were still shooting at the crack.

Chang Ting, who was in the gap, shouted loudly, followed the order, and raised the shield on his side to block the enemy arrows!
Behind him, the wooden wall is being built!
