As the bridgehead of Great Qin's eastward invasion, Gujin Pass not only stationed an elite army, but also moved a large number of craftsmen, handymen and slaves to serve with the army.
Therefore, a large number of houses were built in this fortress, which has formed the layout of the city.
However, today, this recently established fortress city is facing a disaster.
Artillery shells roared down from the sky, producing extremely violent explosions. Houses were blown up and collapsed. Countless soldiers and civilians were hit by flying shrapnel or were trapped under the houses.
What's even more frightening is that the flames generated by the explosion ignited the wood and fodder stored in Gujin Pass, quickly causing a large fire and causing more casualties.
At this time, both ordinary people and Martial Artist were all running around in panic, with screams, cries, and calls for help intertwined together, like a hell on earth.
The people in the fortress were enduring unprecedented suffering and suffering, and the Qin army guarding the city wall was also suffering.
After several rounds of shelling, the gunner of the Western Expeditionary Army readjusted the shooting parameters.
Hitting more accurately.
The first thing they dealt with was not the Qin army, but the artillery deployed on the city wall by the latter, and they named them one by one.
Due to their great advantage in range, these artillerymen can display their skills calmly.
One after another, the explosive shells exploded on the city wall. Although the firing frequency was not high, each one contained terrifying power, easily destroying the Qin army's cannons and heavy crossbows and other weapons.
Many soldiers of the Qin army suffered from Chiyu and were killed or injured by the bombing.
The bombardment lasted for more than half an hour before it was suspended because the barrel of the gun was overheated, and it would easily explode if it continued.
But this time Wang Chen Make a Move again.
He put Divine Might Cannon into Cangqing Ring and took it out again, and the former returned to normal temperature instantly.
Although doing this will inevitably consume some of the energy of this precious ring, it ensures the continuous firepower output of Divine Might Cannon, leaving the Qin army inside Gujin Pass with no time to take a breath and was severely beaten again.
The artillery placed on the city wall was destroyed in large numbers without functioning. The casualties of the soldiers became more and more severe. The Qin army huddled inside Gujin Pass finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The heavy iron gate creaked and slowly lifted, and groups of Qin cavalry filed out, rushing as fast as possible to the heavy artillery platform where Wang Chen was located.
They have no choice but to fight to the death!
However, Wang Chen had already prepared, and the Defense Array column had been deployed in front of the high platform.
The tens of thousands of cavalry troops he led could either mount their horses and run thousands of miles, or they could dismount and fight on foot. Everyone was armed with a long blunderbuss, and they were all armed to the teeth.
And there are dozens of field artillery pieces in the array.
When Qin cavalry attacked in force, Yi Zun field artillery took the lead in firing solid shells, plowing a bloody path in the former's queue.
The second round is filled with grapeshot, which is shotgun.
Dozens of artillery fired volleys, and hundreds of Qin cavalry fell to the ground like wheat swept by a sickle.
The tragic casualties were simply unbearable to witness!
Qin cavalry, who was forced into a desperate situation, was also extremely brave. The huge casualties did not make them collapse. Instead, they aroused a desperate fighting spirit, and each of them brandished their swords and continued to charge.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A whirlwind suddenly blew across the battlefield, and countless Qin cavalry were sprayed with blood mist, screaming and falling to the ground.
This is a blow from the gunman.
The soldiers in the front row finished shooting and retreated, and those behind continued to fire. Soldiers holding flint-haired muskets alternated back and forth, killing all the incoming enemies in front of the formation.
There were only a few Qin Qi who rushed to the front and shot arrows at their opponents, but the sparse ones did not pose much of a threat at all.
They were obviously the masters of the Qin army. They immediately dropped their bows and arrows, jumped off their horses, and used various flexible Movement Method to approach the Western Expeditionary Army array, trying to reverse the situation with their own strength.
These masters were immediately attacked, and many of them were shot to death on the spot.
However, several Qin people with extremely high cultivation level rushed to the front of the formation, and when they were about to start massacre with their swords, the fifth-tier Martial Sect lurking among the Western Expeditionary Army were blocking them with Make a Move.
There are also hundreds of fourth-level generals to assist!
Although the Qin army also had fifth-tier Martial Sect, it could not resist the Western Expeditionary Army side, which was waiting for work. Moreover, it also had an absolute advantage in numbers, and was quickly surrounded and killed on the spot.
The incoming Qin army was completely destroyed!
This battle did not last long, but the Qin army dropped thousands of corpses in front of the Western Expeditionary Army.
A total loss.
As a result, the Qin army in Gujin Pass gave up their last delusion and refused to leave despite heavy artillery bombardment.
They closed the iron gate again, and all evacuated the city wall, huddled inside the city and no longer showed their faces.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chen ordered the bombardment to stop.
He put away all the Divine Might Cannon and then led the Western Expeditionary Army forward.
Since all the enemy's artillery had been destroyed, this time the army once again set up an attack array only about a mile away from the city wall.
Wang Chen released Divine Might Cannon again, aiming at the iron gate of Gujin Pass.
"Blast it away!"
Divine Might Cannon roared again, and solid shells flew towards the gate.
The gate of Gujin Pass is made of fine iron and iron wood. It has a three-layer structure at the front and rear. It weighs tens of thousands of kilograms and cannot be broken through under normal circumstances.
But under the repeated bombardments of Divine Might Cannon, it was continuously twisted and deformed, and soon suffered serious damage.
When the gate was about to collapse, Wang Chen asked people to stop the bombardment.
Holding Seven Absolutes Greatsword in his hand, he suddenly jumped forward and swept forward as fast as an arrow leaving the string.
The next moment, Wang Chen swung his sword and struck hard on the broken gate.
boom!
There was only an earth-shaking loud noise, and the huge iron gate was like a camel crushed by the last straw, and it burst into pieces in an instant.
The Qin army guarding behind the gate was caught off guard and was immediately killed and injured by the broken door flying in.
"Kill!"
Wang Chen was the first to enter the fortress.
Behind him, thousands of Great Zhou fine knights swept in, forming an irresistible torrent!
When this army rushed into Gujin Pass, the Qin army's defeat was irreversible.
Although many Qin soldiers showed sufficient bravery in the subsequent street battles, the defeat was complete, and the bravery of a few people could not withstand bullets and swords.
The fighting lasted from morning to late at night.
Later statistics showed that 53,000 Qin soldiers were killed at Gujin Pass, and more than 70,000 auxiliary soldiers, servants and slaves were slaughtered at the same time. In the end, not even 1% of the people survived! ——
