When General Mao Anbang arrived at the Yuguan city wall, he immediately saw black dots moving through the eastern fields.

Under the heavy snowfall, the black dots were exceptionally clear.

Densely packed, in large groups.

Like locusts passing through the fields in autumn!

this……

General Mao Anbang, the commander of the Eastern Garrison, was stunned.

He never expected that such a large army of Prince Xin would appear in Yuguan City!

Why would they directly attack and capture Yuguan City?

Mao Anbang couldn't come up with an answer.

However, he knew that he had to do something.

Otherwise, I'm afraid Yuguan City will not be able to be defended!

"Be on alert! Be on high alert immediately!"

Mao Anbang roared in a low voice: "Everyone, get to the city and defend Yuguan City!"

Anyone who dares to delay will be executed without mercy!

In an instant, the soldiers in the city sprang into action.

However, this was not enough. Mao Anbang knew that there were only about 10,000 people in Yuguan City at present. This small force had to defend the long defensive line from Laolongtou to the city, which was weak and outnumbered.

We still need to report the situation to Jizhou, Tongzhou, and the capital!

Immediately, Mao Anbang pulled aside a trusted aide and instructed him: "You, report the news to the imperial court right away!"

Hurry!

We request the imperial court's support!

"yes!"

The trusted aide quickly responded.

Meanwhile, the area east of Yuguan City was densely packed with the figures of the Dongning army.

After landing in the morning, the Dongning army moved very quickly.

Divine Martial Army, Divine Brave Army, Divine Resolute Army, Divine Blessed Army, Divine Machine Army, Divine Strategy Army, Tiger Warrior Army!

Seven armies, totaling more than 10,000 men.

After landing, they split into different formations and spread out along the long defensive line from Laolongtou to Yuguan City.

The Shenji Army's artillery units also stood on an open ground five miles outside Yuguan City.

One by one, the artillerymen began to dig in the soil with entrenching tools, placing the cannons on the ground.

Other soldiers of the Shenji Army were also working hard to move the shells.

All preparations are underway.

The infantry units also entered their designated areas and prepared.

Snowflakes were falling heavily in the sky, but the soldiers were not afraid at all and were making preparations in full swing.

Even the warships and merchant ships on the shore began to move.

On the deck of a three-masted sailing warship, Li Xin, Zhao Bingzhang, and others stood side by side, calmly gazing at the distant Laolongtou Pass.

The warships left the coast and approached Laolongtou Pass.

Meanwhile, the Divine Blessing Army soldiers stationed outside Laolongtou Pass were also approaching Laolongtou.

Laolongtou is located by the sea. The fortress is not large. Together with the surrounding beacon towers and bunkers, it covers an area of ​​only about 700 acres.

Several hundred soldiers were stationed here, scattered in various bunkers and beacon towers.

Although the nearby soldiers rushed to the city wall after the alarm bell rang, they were all uneasy and panicked when they saw the dark mass of people in the fields to the east and the countless warships on the sea.

Especially on the warships, the fluttering "Xin" banners in the biting north wind made the soldiers' faces turn extremely pale.

"Don't panic! Don't panic!"

Captain Fei Deyuan hurriedly shouted, trying to calm the soldiers on the city wall.

However, it wasn't long before all his efforts came to naught.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the biting north wind blew, Kong Xiuming clearly heard strange sounds coming from the air.

Kong Xiuming squinted and peered out over the sea through the crenellations in the wall.

In an instant, Kong Xiuming saw black dots appear in the sky.

A black dot streaked across the sky, conspicuously visible, flying towards Laolongtou Pass.

What is that?

Kong Xiuming narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt in his mind.

Just as they were wondering, the black dot in the sky gradually grew larger and landed on Laolongtou Pass.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out instantly.

The immense impact of the exploding shells instantly destroyed the supplies stacked on the city walls. Some soldiers near the blast point were also lacerated by shrapnel, bleeding profusely and their flesh mangled beyond recognition!

Thick smoke rose into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Kong Xiuming shook his dazed head, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as they were wondering what was happening, another round of shells exploded.

The first battle fought by the three-masted sailing warships on the sea after they were launched and commissioned was as land-based artillery support.

The cannons on warships have extremely large calibers, and their power is naturally much greater than that of infantry artillery!

After just three or four rounds of artillery fire, Laolongtou Pass was already in ruins.

The hundreds of soldiers who had gathered together also suffered heavy casualties.

A shard of metal was stuck in Kong Xiuming's arm, and his face had turned pale.

His companion lay dead in a pool of blood.

Even Captain Fei Deyuan stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was seeing.

In less than fifteen minutes, Old Dragon Head has already become like this?

How is that possible?

What weapons did Prince Xin's army actually use?

Why is it so amazing?

Could this be the legendary cannon?

Captain Fei Deyuan was somewhat puzzled.

Meanwhile, in the fields east of Laolongtou Pass, soldiers of the Divine Blessing Army launched an attack.

The Divine Blessed Army consists of four battalions, totaling approximately two thousand men.

In terms of sheer numbers, it has already far surpassed Laolongtou Pass.

It was precisely because Laolongtou was the fortress guarding the sea frontier that Li Xin attached great importance to it!
