Sword Box Pass.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle has reached a critical moment.

Looking at it clearly, the Beili Army has gradually gained the upper hand.

But in fact, it is only the upper hand. The battle situation is already in a stalemate. It is just a little bit short and no progress can be made.

If the past continues like this, when the Beili Army loses its vigor, the siege operation will face a failed outcome.

In this way, the advantageous situation that was finally gained was lost.

Beililing gritted his teeth, waved his hand and said: "Get on the cannon and give me a hard bombardment."

Then, eight cannons were launched from the hiding place.

The cannons here are not seven as Luo Xingchen guessed, but eight.

These cannons are not the most advanced cannons in Yajili, but when placed in Daqi, they are quite powerful.

Beililing is a bit painful. The shells used by these artillery guns are all purchased from Yajili. The quantity is not large. If you use one, you will lose one.

Originally, he wanted to keep these cannonballs and use them to bombard larger city gates, such as the gates of Da Qi's capital city.

But now, he is forced to use it here.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of huge roars.

Trailing flames, the shells hit the city wall heavily.

Due to the limited number of artillery shells, the skills of the soldiers manipulating the cannons were not very high, so their accuracy was worrisome.

Not many people actually smashed into the crowd, and not only did they smash to death the defenders of the city, but even the Beili sergeant who was fighting with the defenders of the city was also smashed to death.

Some of them were bombarded on the city wall, causing big cracks.

If one place is continuously bombarded, part of the strong city wall may be destroyed.

"The power is weaker than I thought."

Luo Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not worried that the cannon would collapse the strong city wall, nor was he worried about how many people the cannon would kill. What he was most worried about was that the firing of the cannon would cause the morale of the soldiers to collapse.

Fortunately, the soldiers were mentally prepared in advance and were able to withstand the impact of the artillery bombardment.

Only a handful of people were really shocked and ran around in fear, and most of the soldiers remained calm.

"Spread out and don't gather too much." Luo Xingchen reminded.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The cannon struck again.

This time, the accuracy was obviously larger than the previous time, but the impact was not as great as the first one.

The soldiers on the tower hurriedly lay down to avoid the attack. On the contrary, the momentum of the Beili Army's attack was interrupted. Those soldiers who were attacking the city were also shaken to pieces, unable to straighten their backs, and some were even hit by cannonballs.

Died by accidental injury.

Seeing such a situation, Beililing was dumbfounded and obviously couldn't accept it.

In his opinion, once this kind of cannon is fired, the enemy will inevitably flee, and there will be no chance of fighting.

Unexpectedly, instead of running away, the enemy seemed to have found a countermeasure.

As a result, part of the negative impact of the artillery bombardment was borne by his own soldiers, resulting in such consequences.

Now he was in a dilemma, whether to let the artillery continue bombarding, or to pause and let the soldiers continue to attack the city?

Although he had been fighting for many years, he basically led his troops in field battles on the edge of the grassland. He had never really experienced such a cruel and difficult siege battle, so it was inevitable that he would make mistakes in judgment.

"Uncle Ling, what should we do now?" Beililong felt happy in his heart.

Who told Beililing to be too arrogant after arriving!

Moreover, Beililong could see that Beililing disdained the defenders of Jianxi Pass.

Since the defenders of Jianxi Pass are not good enough, then Beili Long who cannot take Jian Xia Pass will be even worse.

It's better now, and Beililing has experienced it personally.

Seeing that Beili Ridge was in ruins, Beili Long felt uncontrollably happy.

If it were you, you wouldn't be able to do it either.

But on the surface, Bei Lilong had a serious look on his face and asked in a low voice.

"Keep blasting, and blast a few more rounds."

A trace of fierceness flashed in Beili Ling's eyes.

Things have come to this, how can we give up halfway!

Blow out all the remaining shells and don't keep any.

In terms of courage, he never loses to others.

After two more rounds of bombardment, the cannon became more and more accurate, and more and more defenders were killed by the cannon.

The position where Luo Xingchen was standing was not safe either. A sergeant was even killed by the bombardment next to him, with blood splattering on his body.

Luo Xingchen stood still and said nothing.

"Is it time?" Mo Anbai asked softly.

"That's almost it. Let them prepare flags and raise three big Qilong flags on the tower!"

The pattern used in the Daqi Dragon Flag is a five-clawed golden dragon.

The raising of three big Qilong flags at the same time is a signal.

After all three dragon flags were raised, Zheng Xiong, Fan Shiba and other Tujia Tengjia troops who had already been hiding in the dense forest immediately noticed it.

Zheng Xiong put down the telescope in his hand.

The telescope was given to him by Luo Xingchen. Even from a considerable distance, he could still clearly see the three dragon flags rising on the tower.

"It's time for our Tengjia Army to show off our skills."

Zheng Xiong smiled happily. He was wearing armor made of rattan armor. This kind of armor was lighter than iron armor, but its ability to defend against swords and guns was not much weaker than iron armor.

However, the production cost of rattan armor is not low, and in a certain sense, it is even higher than iron armor.

Tengjia cannot be mass-produced. It is purely hand-made and accumulated by the Tujia people for many years, which is not easy.

If rattan armor was easy to make, the imperial court would have replaced iron armor with rattan armor.

"Clan leader, my big ax can't wait any longer."

Fan Shiba held his big ax high.

"Put it down, save some energy, and lift it up later to kill the person." Zheng Xiong glared at him.

Fan Shiba chuckled and put down his axe.

"Set off!"

Zheng Xiong gave an order, and the Tujia vine-armored soldiers, who had already been preparing to attack, jumped out of the bushes with howls.

They have been holding back for a long time. This is the first time they have gone to the battlefield since going north. Their energy, which has nowhere to vent, will be unleashed this time.

A strange soldier rushed out from the side and rear, like a sharp arrow piercing it.

The Beili Army, which had no idea at all, was thrown into chaos at this time.

Zheng Xiong swung a spear in his hand, continuously killing and injuring the enemy effectively.

Fan Shiba's big ax was even more brutal, often cutting his enemies in half.

Such brutal killings brought great psychological pressure to the enemy's soldiers.

"Quick, call the heavy cavalry to fight!" Faced with this unexpected incident, Beililing shouted anxiously.

The person who conveyed the message immediately rode a fast horse to the location of the heavy cavalry to convey the order from Beili Ridge.

But after a while, the messenger came back on his fast horse, sweating profusely, but behind him, there was no sign of the heavy cavalry.

"Where are the people?" Beililing shouted.
