Chapter 141: Fierce Battle Lang Son (II) 4 More 1W1
With the support of the superior artillery provided by Gao Pragmatic, the cleaning battle on the periphery of Lang Son actually played a stalemate several times, which made Huang Zhiting realize that the "Lang Son Town" is indeed not a joke.
Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has said that if you Langshan has a gram, you will sweep thousands of armies like a sweep when you go south. But this can be seen not only by the generals of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also by Annan himself.
Therefore, the Lang Son defense line has always been the focus of their operation, even if this time Mo Dun let the concentrated army go south, almost half of the northern line was evacuated, but for Lang Son, his deployment is also relatively restrained, at least there are still 5,000 troops in Lang Son City.
After the losses of the sweeping battles on the periphery of Tongdeng and Langshan, Huang Zhiting's troops can now be used normally with only 20,000 troops, plus continuous attack, even the wolf soldiers with excellent physical strength are now in a state of overdraft and urgently need to rest.
Moreover, the tenacity of the Mo Dynasty defenders around Lang Son also exceeded her expectations, so it really cannot be said that she is sure to conquer the Lang Son fortress in one fell swoop, unless she is willing to pay thousands or even tens of thousands of casualties and attack desperately.
However, this is not realistic, what if she loses half of the more than 20,000 troops here? If the Mo Dynasty's southern expeditionary army returned victorious, even if he had advanced to Thang Long City, what awaited him could only be a big defeat.
Although the Gao family's artillery gave her a great surprise today, which made her feel more hopeful for the Gao family's infantry who attacked Thang Long City from the sea, but after all, there were only 4,500 people left there, and most of the light artillery was given to them, and they only had a small number of light artillery on hand, and a batch of heavy artillery ready to be used to bombard Thang Long City, wouldn't the troops under Thang Long City only have more than 10,000 people at that time, and this could take Thang Long City? Can you prevent the possible return of the Mo Dynasty's southern expeditionary army?
Huang Zhiting had a headache. No wonder the imperial court officers and soldiers like to fight with ten times the number of troops, it turns out that the role of those cannon fodder is originally consumption! Especially in this kind of battle, it is the best thing to make a decision by first using cannon fodder consumption, gradually accumulating advantages, and then sending the main force to reach the overall situation in one fell swoop when it is time to decide.
But it's useless to think about this now, you have to solve the problem of Lang Son first.
Huang Hu stood in front of Huang Zhiting, thought for a while, and said, "Miss, why don't you ...... Try the method mentioned earlier? ”
Huang Zhiting was slightly stunned and asked, "That thing was brought?" ”
"In Zhennanguan, there are more than forty catties." Huang Hu scratched his head and said, "It sounds a bit little, but if what Gao said before pressing the platform is true, then these more than forty catties of 'fire cotton' should be enough to blow up a section of the city wall of Langshan City." ”
"But don't forget his warning." Huang Zhiting hesitated a little and said: "He said that this thing is very 'unstable', sometimes it may explode if the weather is too hot, it is completely different from ordinary gunpowder, and the power is more than ten times that of ordinary gunpowder...... Let's not blow up the city wall of Lang Son, but blow up one of our own people. ”
Huang Hu smiled bitterly: "Miss, I won't tell you, I always feel that I am high-pressed...... It's a little hard to believe that a bunch of things like cotton wool can be so powerful? ”
"I believe him." Huang Zhiting said without hesitation: "If he says yes, he must be able." ”
The muscles on Huang Hu's face twitched, and he sighed in his heart: It's over, if it goes on like this, I don't know if the ancestral business of the Huang family can be kept?
Huang Zhiting didn't care about Huang Hu's expression, but thought carefully for a while before saying, "Did he say that the wetter the weather, the safer this thing is?" ”
Huang Hu nodded: "That's what Gao Pressai said, but he also said that if it's too wet, it won't work, it may affect the explosion." ”
Huang Zhiting said "um" and said: "Now that the fog is thick, it should be exactly what he said about the wet weather, and now it is transported from Zhennan Pass, as long as the road is smooth, it can be delivered in one day...... Can you be sure that the Mozambican strongholds on the road have been cleared? ”
As soon as Huang Hu heard this, he knew that the eldest lady had made up his mind, and simply said: "It should be guaranteed, if the eldest lady is not at ease, I will go personally this time, bring enough five hundred people, and nothing will happen." ”
Huang Zhiting said decisively: "Okay, you go right away, and I'll start preparing to dig a tunnel." I dug three places in this tunnel, virtual and real, and when the time came, I temporarily decided which tunnel to put in. ”
"Yes!"
After Huang Hu went, Huang Zhiting did not hesitate and sent someone to start digging tunnels. The Tusi were a little incomprehensible, and suggested to her that it was impossible for the defenders in Langshan City not to listen, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to dig tunnels to attack the city.
Huang Zhiting smiled and said nothing, only asked them to excavate according to the explanation, but pay attention to the other party's back-digging and destruction with poisonous smoke, back-filling water, etc., for which this tunnel can even be dug a little deeper.
She really trusts Gao Pragmatic's words, and believes that the "fire cotton" is very powerful, even if she digs a little deeper, she will still be able to blow up the city wall according to the method taught by Gao Pragmatic.
On the second day, Huang Hu came back smoothly, and cautiously pointed to a carriage a mile away and told Huang Zhiting that those things were all in the carriage, and he didn't dare to come closer for safety.
Huang Zhiting was also repeatedly told by Gao Shipra, and she didn't plan to see it, so she directly assigned tasks.
Huang Hu took the order and found some of the most capable and stable subordinates to do it.
At night, some of his wolf soldiers came to report that the tunnel had been dug, and Lang Son Castle probably thought that the tunnel had been dug too deep, and that it had only dug to the foot of the city wall and disappeared, so no countermeasures were taken.
Huang Zhiting was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Huang Hu to personally supervise the work.
On the morning of the second day, Huang Zhiting's army actually built a Dharma platform to enshrine the god of Taishang Laojun.
A group of toasts were inexplicable, and were about to come forward to ask, but they saw that Huang Zhiting had already bathed and changed clothes, and said to them in a divine manner: "Gao pressed the platform to our generals to wait for the soldiers to Langshan City, and specially invited Lao Jun's decree, today will trigger the Nine Yin Thunder, blow up the city wall of Langshan, and wait for me to ask for a letter written by the platform to submit to Lao Jun." ”
All the toasts were stunned, looking at each other, and they didn't know whether to believe it or not. It stands to reason that this is too bizarre, but after thinking about it, they think that since Gao Zhitai is a Wenqu star, maybe he can really talk to Lao Jun? Anyway, there is no loss, so you might as well take a look and talk about it.
So a group of toasts stood solemnly and knelt three times and bowed nine times to the throne of Laojun. Huang Zhiting looked serious, took a letter that he didn't know where it came from, walked up to the stage, lit it in front of everyone, put it in the incense burner, and then said loudly: "I have presented the letter to Lao Jun on the platform, and wait for Lao Jun to descend to the divine power!" ”
Everyone held their breath and stared, all looking up at the sky, waiting for the "divine might" of Taishang Laojun.
Before they could observe any abnormal celestial phenomena, they suddenly felt a sudden shock under their feet, and a muffled thunder with an earthquake-like tremor surged from the soles of their feet.
Everyone was so frightened that they knelt down, but they heard someone shouting: "Hold that black, the city wall of Langshan has really collapsed!" ”
The toasts were taken aback, and they turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw that the foot of the city wall of Langshan City was crumbling and cracking, as if a huge flower was about to bloom from the ground, and a large section of the city wall was arched up and down again, and there was a loud bang, and a section of the city wall that was dozens of feet long collapsed completely!
Where have the toasts seen such a scene, for fear that Lao Jun will cast too many spells, and blow up his own piece with that Nine Yin Thunder, he was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and shouted: "Lao Jun's magical power is endless, now that the city wall of Langshan has collapsed, please also ask Lao Jun to quickly collect his magical powers!" ”
Huang Hu almost laughed out loud on the side, but heard Huang Zhiting shouting at him: "Huang Hu, you take the elite of Siming Prefecture, the Huang Gong Holy Relic Department to break into the city, let them redeem their crimes, if this battle is won, I will spare them, and no one will give a reward of one or two silver!" ”
Huang Hu put away his other thoughts and roared solemnly: "Huang Hu has an order!" ”
