"Yes!"
Er Zhuzi nodded and had someone bring over the Red-Coat Cannon.
Because this thing was quite heavy, it took dozens of people to carry it over, and the cannons were placed right in front of us.
They were lined up in a row and placed at the very front.
Looking at the row of Red-Coat Cannon lined up in the distance, Zeri Longxi's eyes showed a hint of confusion. He frowned and said, "What are these things? I've never seen them before?"
According to his understanding, the Great Liang possessed siege crossbows and catapults, but what were these tubes?
This thing looks bulky, and I can even sense a slight threat from it, so why haven't I heard a thing?
"I've never seen this before. It's probably some kind of crossbow bolt. It looks like a cheap imitation!"
"This thing looks heavy, and it appears to be made of iron. They probably intend to use it to break down our city gates."
"What a ridiculous thing! How could they possibly move something so heavy?"
Everyone shook their heads. They had never heard of such a thing, but to think they could breach the city gate with just a few short weapons was simply wishful thinking.
The next moment, Great Liang decisively launched an attack, and the earth shook violently in an instant.
Rumble!
The entire pass was trembling. In that instant Zeri Longxi finally realized what had happened earlier; it was probably this thing.
What on earth is this thing that makes such a terrifying noise?
boom!
A shell exploded beside him, instantly sending countless iron pellets flying out, piling up all around him. The fallen men had contorted faces, their expressions contorted with unbearable pain.
"What?"
Upon seeing this, Zeri Longxi's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. This thing could actually unleash such terrifying power.
That shell just now must have killed at least thirty of our men.
Even more terrifying is that the originally sturdy city walls have been damaged in many places, with huge cracks appearing on them.
This is a huge problem.
Grunt!
The military officers who had been shouting earlier immediately wilted, staring in fear at the large, dark iron pipes, their faces filled with disbelief.
What on earth is this thing? It possesses such divine power; it's practically unstoppable!
That wasn't all; a dense swarm of arrows came raining down from the sky, forcing them to take cover—these things didn't discriminate.
"Hmph, now you know the difference between us and the Great Liang!" Zhang Liao looked through his binoculars at the stunned expressions on their faces and couldn't help but sneer.
They even dared to attempt military preparations with Great Liang, but now they've made their move and shown you what despair truly means.
He instructed Er Zhuzi, "Aim at those cracks and completely blast down this Daxin Pass. Then we'll have completed half of our mission for today!"
call out!
Several projectiles arced towards the cracks, exploding upon contact with the city wall.
Under the relentless onslaught, the already precarious city walls finally collapsed completely.
Splash!
The sturdy city wall was instantly breached, with a large section collapsing to reveal a bright and open entrance.
The entrance has been opened.
"Haha, follow me and charge!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry roared and charged straight in amidst a hail of arrows.
They were all heavily armored, and even their warhorses were fully armored, so they were fearless and charged straight in.
"It's over!"
Seeing this, Zeri Longxi on Daxin Pass turned Bai Qi instantly. The sturdy city walls had been breached, and his greatest reliance was gone.
Once the city walls are breached, only a bloody battle will suffice.
At that moment, he finally understood why the Yamata Nation had lost so quickly. Faced with the attack of such weapons, their so-called cities were probably a joke.
What could withstand those blows? It's from a completely different level.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Men, stop the breach and repair the city wall!"
Pfft!
At the breach, the two sides were already locked in a fierce battle, their eyes blazing with hatred.
Before the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, this steel monster, the soldiers blocking their way were as fragile as paper, instantly torn to shreds, and then they charged straight in.
"Ah, the enemy has broken in."
"We're doomed!"
The soldiers who had just escaped were filled with despair when they saw the charging steel cavalry; they were instantly smashed into a bloody pulp.
Ding ding ding!!!
Enemy arrows struck the Tiger Cavalry's armor, sending sparks flying, but they did nothing to harm them. Instead, they enraged the Tiger Cavalry, who began to stab the enemy from behind.
Faced with the charging Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the enemy was sent flying, utterly and irrevocably killed.
The enemy is unstoppable!
"So this is the heavy cavalry, the famous Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
On the Zeri Longxi's face was very grim. He had long heard that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was All Under Heaven, but he had not expected them to be so powerful when they charged. Almost nothing could stop them.
Our own cavalrymen were thrown back when they tried to block their way; even the warhorses of Great Liang were top-notch.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Men, send a large force to intercept and annihilate this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! I want them to never return!"
This isolated force, having penetrated so deep into enemy territory, would be certain to perish if surrounded and annihilated by a large force.
In other words, they're all dead.
Unfortunately, ideals are often grand, but reality is often harsh.
A guard came running up, sweating profusely, and exclaimed, "General, it's terrible! Nearly two hundred thousand enemies have appeared on both flanks, and reinforcements can't get here!"
"What? People from both sides have come too?"
On the Zeri Longxi's expression changed drastically. There were still people on both sides. It seemed the enemy had planned this all along. This time, they were truly doomed.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to Snow Mountain Pass for help. We can't let our first line of defense fall so easily."
" Snow Mountain Pass has been attacked by the enemy's Sima Yi, and I'm afraid they won't be able to support us," the man said bitterly.
Grunt!
Upon hearing this, everyone around Zeri Longxi broke out in a cold sweat. This was no longer just about taking Daxin Pass; it was clearly about launching a full-scale offensive.
With these forces combined, it's like the enemy is launching an attack with a million troops. The Zhennan Dynasty is in grave danger this time.
"General, what do we do now?"
Everyone looked towards Zeri Longxi. Now they had to make a choice: hold out to the death or retreat to reinforce the next line of defense.
This requires a decision!
Zeri Longxi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Retreat! We must preserve our strength, otherwise Flying Hero Pass below won't be able to withstand the million-strong army of Great Liang!"
It would be meaningless for our 200,000 troops to die here. It would not be able to shake the enemy's offensive at all, but would only reduce Zhennan's manpower here.
Rather than fighting to the death, it's better to strengthen the second line of defense. This also requires domestic coordination, and a significant increase in troops is necessary!
