Chapter 471 Breaking Through the Ridge Mountain Pass

The news of Lin Yifan's sudden mobilization of troops to the south quickly spread to all parties, and along with it was the truth about the Hengshan attack.When everyone heard the news, they couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing, Huazhou Li Yuan really wanted to die.

At the same time, various forces have urgently held discussions to discuss the impact of this incident.After all, there are too many things involved in Hengshan going south, and the balance of power that has been maintained for many years may be broken.

At this time, the Hengshan up and down did not dare to be careless.As Lin Yifan personally led the army to the south, the defense of various places became very important.After deliberation, the Ministry of War issued an order to the various defense areas to call up reserve service and militia training on the spot to prepare for unexpected events.The arsenal is running at full capacity again, producing large quantities of armaments.The Ministry of Commerce pulled out a large sum of money and purchased a large amount of grain and grass from the private sector.For a moment, the entire Hengshan entered a state of semi-war, and they all showed their spikes, warning the surrounding forces that Hengshan is not easy to mess with.

At the beginning of June, Luo Feng's vanguard cavalry arrived at Jing'an City first and joined Qin Yuanhao's troops.

Qin Yuanhao had already received the news from Huazhou that he had dispatched troops from various counties to assemble here. Now that he joined Luo Feng, he personally led an army of [-] to go to Jishan Pass with him.

At this time, more than [-] garrisons have gathered at the Jishan Pass, and people from all over Huazhou are on their way.

When Qin Yuanhao and Luo Feng's [-] troops gathered at Jishan Pass, they immediately launched an attack.

The first to attack was Luo Feng's heavy cavalry, carrying a large number of explosive packs, trying to rush under the city gate and blow open the city gate.

However, Huazhou at this time is no longer what it used to be. After possessing gunpowder technology, a large amount of gunpowder was produced and stored in Jishan Pass.When the heavy cavalry charged down the city under the rain of arrows, countless explosive canisters were thrown from the gate. After countless loud noises, the smoke cleared, and hundreds of heavy cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

Luo Feng saw that he was about to burst into tears, and hurriedly ordered the heavy cavalry to retreat.Qin Yuanhao silently watched the rising gunpowder smoke, and lamented in his heart, selling gunpowder formula, this is really shooting himself in the foot.

Seeing that a forceful charge was not the answer, Qin Yuanhao quickly stopped Luo Feng from wanting to try again, pulled him and said, "Luo Feng, this won't work, if we continue to fight, we will just let the soldiers die in vain."

"But time is running out now, if we don't win the Jishan pass in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to break through when the Huazhou army gathers together." Luo Feng said anxiously.

"This pass is so solid that it cannot be broken by explosives. For the current plan, we can only use artillery." Qin Yuanhao analyzed patiently, "It's just that we set out in a hurry, and the artillery is still in Jing'an City. You and I will wait for a while. Day, transport the cannon over here, and then break through the level."

"Oh, that's the only way to go." Luo Feng also felt sorry for the lives of his brothers, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

After two days like this, Jishan Pass was closed and reinforcements were added, and now more than [-] people have gathered, which is even more powerful.He sneered and laughed at the Hengshan army who had passed through the pass.

At this time, the ten cannons transported from Jing'an City finally arrived at Guanxia.This artillery is a first-generation product, and its performance is not stable. After it was produced in the past, there was no way to recycle it, so it had to be distributed to various defense areas for use as city defense artillery.Each artillery piece is very heavy, weighing more than 1000 kilograms.

Patting the body of the cannon, Qin Yuanhao prayed: "God bless, this attack will not blow up the cannon."

After speaking, he ordered the artillery to push the artillery out of the position and lined up about 400 meters away from Jishan Pass.Ten cannons lined up in a line, and their muzzles were aimed at the city gate in the middle. The artillerymen calibrated and adjusted the cannons nervously and orderly.

When Jishan closed, the garrison all watched the movement of the Hengshan army eagerly. When they saw ten iron pipes discharged from the opposite side, they couldn't help but wondered, what is this?To this day, Hengshan has not used the artillery much, and it is still used against foreign races, which makes the major forces in the Central Plains not familiar with the artillery.

Now Li Yuan's nephew Li Sheng is in charge of guarding the Jishan Pass, he is considered to be a relatively capable young man among the Li family's children.When he saw these ten iron pipes, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.Immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert to prevent the other party from cheating.

"Report to the general, the artillery is ready, please give instructions." An artillery captain came to report to Qin Yuanhao.

"Fire!" Qin Yuanhao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the mountain pass, and said coldly.

"fire!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"~
The ten cannons roared one after another, shaking the whole field.

The defenders standing on the ridge pass looked at the black dots in the sky, and they couldn't close their mouths in surprise. Before they could recover, they saw these black dots turned into black iron balls and landed on the closed gate. nearby.

"Boom boom boom!" The strong impact made the entire wall tremble slightly, and a huge roar followed, like thunder from nine days.

After Li Sheng lost his mind for a moment, he immediately came back to his senses. What kind of thing was it? This, how to fight this?
"Quickly, quickly, block the closed door. The enemy's goal is to close the door." When the soldiers woke up, they immediately understood Hengshan's intention.With fear of this weapon, he immediately organized troops to block the door.

In this blow, only one cannon hit the closed door, which dented the iron-covered city gate, and the wooden door panel inside was cracked.

Although the first shelling was unsuccessful, fortunately, this first launch did not cause the chamber to explode.After firing the first shell, the artillerymen immediately stepped forward to clean the muzzle and cool down.After a while, the artillery was fine-tuned again, and then the ammunition was filled.

"fire!"

The second wave of artillery bombardment was shot out, and under everyone's gaze, all ten shells smashed into the closed area, and there was a burst of crackling sound mixed with the rumbling sound.

"The city gate is broken, the city gate is broken!" The guard who was in charge of closing the gate crawled out of the ruins in embarrassment, roaring mournfully.

At this moment, the [-] cavalry led by Luo Feng started to move, charging towards the Jishan Pass with the sound of hooves.

Li Sheng was so frightened that the accompanying sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he muttered to himself: "It's over, Huazhou is over, Li's family is over."

Seeing this, the guards around him hurriedly advised him to leave Jishan Pass as soon as possible.

Only then did Li Sheng come to his senses. When he saw the Hengshan cavalry rushing towards him, he was startled. He hurriedly took dozens of guards around him and fled southward on horseback while taking advantage of the chaos.

The main general fled, and the rest of the Huazhou army suddenly lost their will to fight. After Luo Feng charged and strangled several times, they all chose to kneel down and surrender.

During the battle, Jishan Pass was occupied by the Hengshan Army, and most of the [-] Huazhou Army became prisoners.

Qin Yuanhao's [-] troops stationed at Jishan Pass, waiting to meet with the main army going south.Luo Feng led [-] cavalry to the south, besieging the city and pulling out the village all the way, sweeping Huayang County.
