Chapter 2973 2975 [Caught in a fierce battle]
Although the Yuan soldiers were repelled, Xiang Nan knew that this was only a temporary victory.
More brutal battles are yet to come.
You must know that these are 20,000 elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, not a mob that will collapse at a touch, and they will not be defeated so easily.
So Xiang Nan ordered the heroes to get ready, move stones, pile wood, load gunpowder, and prepare for the next round of attack.
"Grand Master, Master Kongzhi, Head He, Head Xianyu, we specially aim at the people with tails on their heads to send hidden weapons. They are the commanders of thousands and hundreds of soldiers in Yuan soldiers. Get rid of them, and the morale of Yuan soldiers will be improved." Naturally, it will collapse." Xiang Nan called again.
Everyone nodded.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, the war drum sounded again at the bottom of the mountain, and then the reorganized Yuan soldiers rushed up again.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan, Zhang Sanfeng, Kong Zhi, He Taichong and others all aimed at the man wearing the tail of the Yuan army to send hidden weapons.
In a short time, several thousands and centurions were defeated.
Yuan people will not be passively beaten, and immediately launch a volley, and the arrow feathers are shot like locusts.
From this, we can see the level of personal skill.
Those like He Taichong, Xian Yutong, Kongtong Wulao, etc., couldn't hold on in the first round, and immediately hid back to the pass, not daring to show their faces again.
Master Kongzhi waved his sleeves and blocked the flying arrows one by one. It took about a cup of tea, and then returned to the pass.
Only Xiang Nan and Zhang Sanfeng were not afraid of the arrow feathers shooting. While slapping the flying arrow feathers with their palms, they threw hidden weapons and hit the man wearing the tail in the Yuan soldiers.
And their hidden weapons are almost always hit. No matter how well those commanders of thousands and centurions hide, it is difficult to escape the eyes of the two of them.
As a result, the commanders of thousands and centurions in the Yuan soldiers were all killed.
After the death of the middle and high-level leaders of the army, the remaining people are not said to be scattered, but they have also lost considerable cohesion.
Morale will inevitably become low, and the pace of action will no longer be consistent.
There is even a phenomenon of rushing forward and pulling hips behind.
When they rushed to the pass again, Xiang Nan opened fire, killing another hundred and eighty people.
Under the threat of artillery fire, the remaining Yuan soldiers retreated subconsciously. And without the commanders of thousands and centurions, once they retreated, they couldn't stop.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan roared, "Follow me! This is the time to expel the Tartars and restore our lands!" He took the lead and rushed out.
Others followed suit.
Yuan soldiers lost their leadership, and their morale was already low. Seeing thousands of heroes rushing together, they became even more panicked.
Before they regained their footing and organized the fortifications, Xiang Nan had already come to the front, and then he swung his long sword, and a dozen heads fell to the ground together.
Such a vicious ultimate move shocked Yuan Bing.
As for Zhang Sanfeng, he shot with both hands continuously, and the overwhelming palm force swept out. Wherever he went, spears were broken, halberds were broken, and casualties were scattered, just like a **** descending from the earth.
When Qunhao saw this, he couldn't help but open his eyes.
Master Kongzhi, He Taichong, Xian Yutong, Kongtong Five Elders, etc. were not to be outdone, and also led a rush to kill.
The morale of the Yuan soldiers was completely lost, and they had to run away desperately, leaving more than 4,000 corpses on the mountain road. Half of them were not killed by Qunhao, but trampled and pushed to death by their colleagues.
…
"Song Shaoxia is indeed both civil and military. With your command, we can achieve such a great victory."
"Song Shaoxia is really a star, and his command is determined, so that he can lead us to such a great victory."
"Song Shaoxia is indeed capable of both civil and martial arts, and is skilled in the art of war. He really deserves to be the person that even Emperor Zhenwu has his eyes on!"
Everyone won a big victory, and they couldn't help boasting for a while.
But Xiang Nan waved his hand and reminded everyone, "Don't be happy, everyone. The Yuan soldiers only lost one game, not all of them. In my opinion, the next battle will be even more tragic. Hurry up and prepare more , to avoid being counterattacked by Yuan soldiers."
Yuan soldiers only injured 4,000 people, which is not too many, and there are still 15,000 people underneath. It's too early to be happy now.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then began to prepare.
Carry away the dead and wounded of one's own side; strengthen the fortifications, store rolling logs and stones; collect the armor, swords, bows and arrows of the dead Yuan soldiers, and prepare them for later use.
At this moment, I heard the sound of war drums down the mountain again, and 10,000 soldiers came to battle.
The thousand people headed by them all have high noses and deep eyes, and their hair color is also yellow or black. They are all Persian Mingjiao people.
Their equipment is relatively sophisticated, it can be said that the armor is bright, and they are carrying cannons in their hands, which shows that they are really moving.
I saw them holding up their shields to prevent themselves from being injured by bows, arrows and hidden weapons all the way, while shooting arrows upwards to suppress Xiang Nan's counterattack.
Looking at the degree of their tacit cooperation, it is obvious that these Persian Mingjiao people are also experienced in many battles.
When they came to about 200 meters away from the pass, the people who rushed in front suddenly flashed to the sides, and then suddenly extended four cannons from behind, and blasted towards the pass.
For a moment, sand and stones splashed, dust and smoke filled the sky, and shells hit the rocky roadblocks, almost blasting the roadblocks out of holes, and shocked the group of heroes.
They just hit people with artillery, which is refreshing. Now being bombarded by people, I immediately feel uncomfortable.
Yuan people's artillery is also quite powerful, quite powerful. Xiang Nan reckoned that when they fired two more rounds, the roadblock built with rocks would be completely blown down.
When the time comes, Yuan soldiers will shoot a volley, and Qunhao will suffer heavy casualties.
So Xiang Nan immediately ordered Qunhao to fire and destroy the firepower of Yuan soldiers.
…
Immediately, the artillery on Xiang Nan's side also rang out, killing and injuring dozens of Persian warriors immediately. However, they were very thieves. After firing the cannons, they immediately withdrew the cannons, and they also used shields to block the front.
Xiang Nan's artillery is indeed very powerful, but it can only injure people, not the four cannons.
After Xiang Nan finished firing the cannon, the Yuan soldiers lifted the cannon up again, and fired four more salvos at Xiang Nan. Knock the barricade out of the gap at once.
Countless arrow feathers shot in along the gap immediately, causing several casualties in a short time.
When Xiang Nan saw it, he immediately ordered the heroes to raise their shields to block the gap to prevent arrow feathers from entering. At the same time, another round of artillery fire. Although many Persian warriors were wounded, the artillery of the Yuan soldiers still remained intact.
If it is allowed to continue, the barricade must be broken down. At that time, the heroes will be defenseless, and there will only be a dead end.
Therefore, Xiang Nan thought for a moment and whispered something to Zhang Sanfeng.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
Afterwards, when Yuan Bing lifted the cannon out again, Xiang Nan and Zhang Sanfeng raised stones as thick as the mouth of a bowl with their left and right hands, and threw them towards the mouth of the cannon together.
Both of them had great strength. With a sudden throw, the stone roared out like a cannonball, aimed at the muzzle and rushed over.
