"Ming Gong spares his life! Ming Gong spares his life!! ”

"Ming Gong, we only withdrew when we saw the Inspector team withdraw!"

"Kill!"

Poof!

The two human heads rolled to the ground, Zhang Yan closed his eyes, and it took a long time to open them, and there were no corpses on the ground, only a pool of blood.

"The battle of Yecheng is a decisive battle between me and Ma Qiang, the city is broken, he dies, the city is not broken, I die!" Yuan Shaochang let out a long breath and asked, "How much is the loss?" ”

"Two thousand one hundred and twenty-seven were killed, one hundred and twenty-seven were seriously wounded, and slightly wounded..."

"With only more than 2,000 casualties, he was defeated, such a mediocre general, if he doesn't kill, what's the use of keeping it?"

The reason why only two people were killed was because the general of the first team had already died on the way back

Shot with a musket.

Yuan Shao looked at the generals and said, "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yan, the three of you take turns to lead three teams of soldiers and horses to attack the city, how many deaths, I will make up for you!"

Frustrated, let the fast horse send a message to Tan Er, transfer Koji Yi to Yecheng, I want him to camp first! ”

After speaking, Yuan Shao looked at the two people sitting in the unseated position and asked, "How many days will it take for the Diggers Army?" ”

The digging army is a special force in the hands of Yuan Shao, this force was proposed by the trial, and most of the sergeants are rooster and dog thieves, and there are even many tomb robbers.

Tomb robbery, can be regarded as a wonder in the late Han Dynasty princes in the hegemony, because after the Qin and Han dynasties, the world is stable, strong and rich, so that the wind of thick burials has been repeatedly banned, Dong Zhuo dug graves and robbed tombs in Guanzhong, Cao Cao dug graves and robbed tombs in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao dug graves and robbed tombs in Jizhou and Bingzhou, Yuan Shu dug graves and robbed tombs in Huainan, anyway, except for a few people in the old Liu family who were not good at face, Ma Qiang felt that he couldn't do it, and the other princes all regarded the tomb robbery industry as a mining industry.

Three of the four major tomb robberies in later generations were all from the Han Dynasty in the past 400 years, so the best of them are also endless.

And Yuan Shao's digging army commander is such a pair of tomb robber brothers, named Wang Xiong and Wang Fei respectively, both of them are short stature, one is nicknamed "Drill Tianlong", and the other calls himself "Into the Ground", because the identity of the tomb robber is not treated by everyone, so he has always been sitting at the bottom.

"Back to the Ming Gong, digging tunnels in the past, in order to pass through the city wall, straight into the city, now only need to go to the foundation of the city wall, and you are not afraid of the enemy's ravines, the last general has checked the geology, such as digging from the camp, because the distance is too far, it takes a month!"

Yuan Shao was worried about the bombardment of artillery, and the nearest military camp was almost five miles away from the city wall, which was actually very fast when there was only manpower.

"January is too long, Chun Yudao, you take 3,000 soldiers and horses, set up a village to two miles of the city wall, set up more flags, bluff, ten days, within ten days, I want you to dig under the city!"

Chun Yudao is Chun Yuqiong's brother, with some courage, and he is a general under Yuan Shao's account.

"No!"

The three of them didn't dare to put forward any more conditions, so they could only agree.

After Yuan Shao finished dispatching his troops, he stroked his beard and asked, "Today I saw something flying out of the city, and it flew far away, almost reaching our camp, and it exploded like gunpowder, what is it?" ”

The judge said, "This thing must also be a firearm, although the range is long, but it doesn't seem to be stable, Ming Gong doesn't need to worry, you can let people draw pictures and send them to Taiyuan to show Master Ma." ”

Ma Jun, because of his meritorious work in building firearms, has been promoted to a master craftsman, and he is considered an official.

"Hmm... Firearms are infinitely useful, Ma Ziyu is not simple, he is crowned as the chief superintendent of firearms, in charge of firearms and gunpowder to create everything, let him pay close attention to the study of artillery, muskets and flying firearms, and on the day of success, there will be a reward! ”

War was indeed a catalyst for science and technology, and who would have thought that in the second century A.D. in the East, two great princes had already begun to study rocket technology.

Tut-tut, give it a few more years, it's really going to heaven.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Huang Xu also came to the West Gate, there was no way, there were one or two thousand weak brigades bluffing at the North Gate, and they couldn't even get up to the city wall, Huang Xu was really bored there.

"Yanzi Banner... Yuan Shao knew that our garrison was so strong, and he also sent the main force up, which is boring! Ma Qiang looked at the binoculars for a while and said strangely, "Huh? So how is the barracks being built? It's only two miles, do they not take our artillery in their eyes or are they ready to put it up for the battalion step by step? ”

Zhao Fu stepped forward and looked, and then said, "Duke Ming, that Chun Yudao is just a little famous by virtue of his family background, then general, Yuan Shao should not let him move the camp forward, either to warn of a possible night attack by our army, or there is a trick!" ”

Huang Xu smiled, "I guess it's to dig tunnels and bombard our city walls with gunpowder." ”

I have to say that Huang Xu, the chief general of the firearms army, is still very good at using firearms, and he immediately thought of the reason.

"Erlidi, the artillery can hit, but if it is digging a tunnel, it is useless to hit, our artillery should not have the strength to collapse the tunnel, right?" Ma Qiang looked at Huang Xu, Huang Xu immediately shook his head, the ghost knows how deep this tunnel is, he doesn't dare to guarantee it.

"Ming Gong, as long as we know that the thief army is digging tunnels, we can dig a trench in reverse, and then ambush the sergeants outside, come as many as you want, kill as many as you want!" Zhao Fu proposed.

“... Are you going to dig down our walls first? Ma Qiang said helplessly, "They don't need to enter the city at all, they can use gunpowder to blow up the city wall at the foundation of the city wall." ”

"That's... Why not build an urn city? Zhao Fu's words made everyone stunned, and then clapped their hands and applauded.

The power of gunpowder will blow up a section of the city wall at most, and by listening to the urn, you can find the direction of digging the tunnel, and then you can build another urn city in the city wall that is about to be blown up, and kill as many as you want!

"That's it! Send someone to listen to the urn to find the direction of Yuan Jun's excavation, and then mobilize the people to build the urn city, and then we will give Yuan Shao a big surprise! ”

"No!"

Ma Qiang negotiated the strategy here, Yan Liang's attack also began, Ma Qiang sat at the head of the city and watched Yuan Shao's second attack, and then, bored, began to write the book.

With Xian Yufu and Huang Xuzai, there is nothing to worry about in this defensive battle, he is past the age of watching live broadcasts and killing, and now his mind is full of questions about how to improve gunpowder.

No, after the improvement, it should not be called gunpowder, it should be called explosives.

Ma Qiang wrote several nouns on the scroll, namely nitrocellulose, picric acid, TNT, Dana explosives, smokeless gunpowder, and black sorkin.

These were all new types of gunpowder that were invented after black powder, and they were all invented before 1900.

After all, the conditions are limited now, even if Ma Qiang knows that the explosive power of the all-nitrogen anion salt and even metallic hydrogen in later generations is 10 or even 30 times that of TNT? He also knows that nuclear weapons can determine the whole country in one shot!
