Sima Yiqing saw through the telescope that Lin's army was in chaos at Lotus Pass. He laughed happily and said, "It's so fun, so fun! I've never fought such a fun siege battle." Sima Chuchu also saw it with the telescope. After observing it, he said: "Father, although the Shenwei Cannon is powerful, it did not kill many Lin Jun when attacking the city wall. Xiaoxing once said that in such a situation, as long as we raise the muzzle of the cannon, we will hit the shells on the city wall. That's good, the current muzzle is too low. "The way Qian Xiaoxing said it, it's like a modern mortar. After the shell is fired, it draws a high parabola and can hit the enemy behind the bunker. . Sima Yiqing waved his hand and said: "Of course I know this, but in that case, Lin Jun was defeated in just a few shots. It's really boring. I like to see the spectacular scene of cannons firing in unison. Just blow up the city wall like this." Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡± Sima Chuchu could only shake his head with a wry smile. It seemed that it was the first time for Sima Yiqing to use this powerful cannon, so he had to let him go. Besides, it was just a waste of some shells. It was also the first time for the artillerymen of the Division Army to attack the enemy. They fought with great enthusiasm. The shells were fired continuously, until the barrels were heated up. The city walls of Lianhua Pass are made of big stones, which are not as strong as those of Panlong Pass and Huju Pass, which are made of cement. Moreover, Lianhua Pass was built in a hurry, so it is enough to block people, but it is difficult to block the repeated bombings of cannons. It is beyond our capabilities. After several rounds of bombing, the large stones of the city wall were blown to pieces. Some places had collapsed, and the stones fell to the ground with a crash. The cannon fired about ten rounds, leaving a mess on the city wall. Sima Yiqing was almost done with it, and ordered again: "Blow open the city gate for me, and use projectiles to hit the enemy troops on and inside the city wall!" Middle Twenty cannons turned their muzzles and aimed at the tall Lotus Pass city gate. After the cannons were fired, there was a burst of smoke and the city gate was immediately blown to pieces. The other cannons adjusted their muzzles and slowly rose into the sky. "Bang!" The cannonball hit high in the sky, then fell down and fell into the Lotus Pass. A large number of Lin troops gathered under the city wall in the pass. These Lin troops were used as reserves to supplement the casualties on the city wall at any time. A cannonball fell in Then it exploded, and everyone within ten meters fell to the ground. The shells flew in one by one and landed on the city wall. Inside the city wall, Lin Jun's soldiers looked at the soldiers who were bombed. Their bodies were bloody and bloody, and some of their limbs were blown off and flying around in the air. Lin Jun was so frightened that he no longer had any thoughts. He resisted, yelled and started running for his life. When Chen Tian saw the soldiers starting to retreat, he was furious. He waved his sword and shouted, "No one is allowed to run. I will kill anyone who escapes!" Chen Tian waved his sword to chop down the fleeing soldiers. A cannonball fell next to him, blowing Chen Tian into two pieces from his waist. Chen Tian was surprised to see that his lower body was gone. His face was filled with fear and his eyes were wide open. Lin Jun could no longer be seen walking around on the city wall. Sima Yiqing could not see the situation in Lianhua Pass. He only saw shells falling in. In fact, it was already a miserable situation in Lianhua Pass. Tens of thousands of Lin Jun The soldiers fell to the ground, blood flowed into rivers, and there were mutilated corpses all over the ground, with severed hands and feet, and human internal organs scattered everywhere. The scene was very bloody. Sima Yiqing used the Shenwei Cannon for the first time, but he was not familiar with its power. Although there was no resistance from Lin Jun in Lianhua Pass, they still fought for a while. It was Sima Chuchu who reminded Sima Yiqing not to waste the shells, and the Shenwei Cannon stopped. The sound of artillery stopped and there was silence on the battlefield. Sima Yiqing picked up the telescope and looked through the broken city gate. He saw that the ground was full of corpses, so he ordered the troops to enter Lianhua Pass. As the vanguard, the Dark Knights broke through the door first. When they came to the pass, the knights couldn't help but stop, because there was almost no place to stand in the pass, and the ground was full of corpses. Sima Yiqing and Sima Chuchu then entered the pass. Seeing this scene, Sima Chuchu's stomach turned upside down. The strong smell of blood hit his nostrils, and Sima Chuchu immediately turned around and ran out without daring to look again. It was Sima Yiqing. He was well-informed and shook his head secretly. This divine cannon was really powerful, so he had no choice but to order the soldiers to clear the battlefield. It was not until evening that the corpses of Lin Jun were cleaned up in the pass. The soldiers of Si Jun were washing the ground with clean water, but the dark red blood stains could not be cleaned up immediately, and the smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time. Lin's army originally deployed 100,000 soldiers at Lianhua Pass. This time, more than 10,000 were killed by the Shenwei cannon. Their leader, Chen Tian, ??was also blown into two pieces on the battlefield. The remaining soldiers were afraid of the power of the Shenwei cannon. Under the leadership of the deputy general, The troops have retreated. Sima Yiqing boarded the dilapidated Lotus Pass. On the ground on the city wall, there were clusters of black diffusible powder exploded by gunpowder. They were the marks of being blasted by cannonballs. There were also large amounts of gunpowder left on the stones of the city wall. Bloodstains. It has to be said that the location of the Lianhua Pass is good. From a defensive point of view, it can be said that one man can't open the pass. However, after being bombarded by Shenwei cannons several times, the Si army easily captured the Lianhua Pass without dying. , Sima Yiqing now understands how powerful the divine cannon is, and how easily Lianhua Pass can be won. Will there be any battles in the future that will be more difficult than Lianhua Pass? Moreover, one blast of the cannon left Lin Jun unable to fight back. In the hearts of Lin Jun soldiers, they were already very afraid of the power of the cannon. Sima Yiqing had reason to believe that in the future, as long as the cannon was fired, Lin Jun would flee for his life without firing. went. Although Lianhua Pass achieved a perfect victory, Sima Yiqing did not rush forward. Under the current situation, playing steadily and step by step is the most correct way of playing. With the Shenwei Cannon, it can be said that he is invincible. Sima Yiqing sent scouts to investigate the location of the main force of the retreating Lin Army. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: The general will attack the plan, then attack the enemy, then attack the troops, and then attack the city. Compared with siege, destroying the enemy's effective strength is better. Sima Yiqing's next plan is to completely annihilate the remaining 90,000 Lin troops. News of the fall of Lianhua Pass reached Lin Guoqidu, and there was an uproar in the court. King Lin really couldn't believe it. Lianhua Pass was the most important pass to prevent the Si army from attacking Qidu. Once it fell, Qidu would be in great danger. King Lin stood up and roared: "I sent 100,000 people to Lianhua Pass, but they didn't even defend it! What's going on?" The messenger raised his head and replied: "Si Jun used a weird method The weapon, a black iron barrel, can shoot explosive projectiles. We were unable to fight back, and more than ten thousand soldiers were killed!" "How is it possible!" Even though King Lin said this, he was still paralyzed. Sitting in the dragon chair. Lin Yilong stood up from the queue and said: "Your Majesty, I think this weapon must be invented by Qian Xiaoxing. As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. I told you not to mess with him. We "You can't afford it." King Lin did remember that Lin Yilong once persuaded him, but what's the use of saying this now? King Lin asked anxiously: "If Lianhua Pass is lost, the Si army can directly attack Qidu. Dear friends, what strategies do you have to deal with the enemy? " Lin Yilong immediately replied: "Si Jun has such powerful weapons, there is absolutely no chance of winning against them. The only solution now is to go to peace talks and return our Hu State's occupation. "Certain land and seek peace, maybe there is a glimmer of hope." "Certain land and seek peace?" King Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this. He remembered that half a year ago, Si Jun was besieged in Shandu and had just ceded land to Lin Guo to seek peace. Later, he actually wanted to cede territory to seek peace. The situation was unpredictable. It was really thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi. While King Lin was thinking about it, a general came out and said, "King Lin, our hundred warships have been completed. If we go to cede territory and seek peace just because Lianhua Pass is lost, we would be looking down on ourselves." Another general also said He said: "Your Majesty, the best defense is to attack. If we can attack Si Guo's home base by sea, Si Guo will definitely send troops to rescue, and the current crisis can be solved." King Lin spent tens of millions of taels this time. Yinzi builds a navy, and naturally wants to use this to defeat Si Guo. If he surrenders before the war starts, he is really unwilling to do so. Besides, even if he agrees to surrender and seek peace, Qian Xiaoxing may not agree. Thinking of this, he said cruelly: "Okay, Since Qian Xiaoxing wants to make an enemy of me, Prince Lin, then I will accompany him to the end! Immediately order the navy to attack Si State!"
