When Zhou Fan saw the battle outside the city, he was so frightened that he shouted.

"Mom."

How fucking are these people?

I'm afraid it's more than tens of thousands, right?

Could it be that the thieves in Kuidong poured out their nests and took out all the things at the bottom of the box?

"Be ready to fight, you can't go into battle without the order of the general!"

Zhou Fan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he tried his best to keep it from gaffe.

Now it seems that the Ming army is indeed prepared, and it is indeed his carelessness.

But it's not too late to make amends.

Now as long as the people of the whole city are mobilized to help defend the city, Zhou Fan feels that he can still hold it, at least until reinforcements arrive.

"Pass my general order and order the whole city to help defend the city!"

Zhou Fan commanded in a deep voice to his soldiers.

...

...

"Your Majesty, is it okay to dig the tunnel like this?"

Li Dingguo looked at the half-dug tunnel and asked with some emptiness.

In his opinion, this level of tunneling is only a half-finished product, and it is not enough to carry out cave attacks at all. As for digging tunnels into the city, it is even more impossible. There is no ten days and half a month, and there is no edge touching.

However, His Majesty insisted that this was okay, and Li Dingguo could not question the king.

"Have you already dug the foundation of the wall?"

Zhu Youlang didn't expect the efficiency of the Ming army to be so high, perhaps because of the narrow tunnels dug.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have dug the foundation of the wall."

"Good." Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Put the coffin." ”

In fact, Li Dingguo has never understood why the coffin is used to fill gunpowder in the bombing of the city wall, and can't it be done with other things?

But the Son of Heaven insisted on using a coffin, saying that it was well sealed.

Li Dingguo naturally didn't understand what airtightness meant, and the Son of Heaven took the trouble to explain to him for a long time.

Now Li Dingguo understood a rough idea.

"Be careful not to bump it when you put it, the lead must be plugged well, and the coffin should be placed vertically in the place and placed under the city foundation."

Zhu Youlang carefully told him that this was the first time he used a coffin to blast, although the principle was very clear, but no one knew what the actual effect was.

He also couldn't wait to see how effective the coffin bombed the city.

...

...

"The thieves are messing around or something, and it is definitely impossible to enter the city by digging such a shallow tunnel. Do they want to dig up the walls? But the city wall is so thick, how can it be easily dug down? The Ming army would not attack at all. ”

Zhou Fan muttered to himself for a long time, and when he saw that Liu Han of Zhixian County was beside him, he was a little surprised: "Why did Liu County Order also go to the top of the city?" ”

Liu Han looked sad and sighed: "General Zhou was born and died with the soldiers at the head of the city. Although there is nothing in this county that can help, you can't drink tea in the yamen, right? ”

Zhou Fan's heart was clear, this Liu County Ling couldn't trust him, and he wanted to go to the city to spy on him, but he said that he was so loyal to the country, it was disgusting.

"What is Liu Xianling talking about? You can help organize the people to help defend the city. Someone has to carry these timbers and stones, right? Someone has to burn the gold juice, right? ”

Zhou Fan's words were used to choke Liu Han, why can't Liu Han hear it if he is a scholar?

This is an eyesore for him in the city!

But the more Zhou Fan is like this, the more Liu Han will not obey his wishes.

"The county has already arranged all the things on the side, so it's good to cheer up the soldiers here."

Speaking of which, Liu Han has already expressed his attitude, and Zhou Fan doesn't want to tear his face at this time, so he doesn't smile and says, "Then Liu County Order, please do it." ”

"The thief made such a big move, and Jiangling and Wuchang didn't know about it?"

"Someone has been sent for help. Gangneung should get the news soon. Wuchang is estimated to be late. ”

Zhou Fan said coldly: "But far water can't quench your thirst." For now, I'm on my own. ”

Liu Han casually continued: "That's nature. ”

"Is this a thief?"

Although Liu Han has never led troops to fight, he has read a few military books. He also knew that the most important thing to attack was time. It is impossible to achieve immediate results through acupuncture in a short period of time.

"It's just a clown, don't bother with it."

Zhou Fan's words were not just to be courageous. Judging from the other party's actions, I really don't know that the acupoint attack is the essence.

"But there should be no less precautions."

Liu Han said in a deep voice: "I heard that the most important point in this county to deal with the cave attack is to judge the direction of its excavation. Water tanks were supposed to be placed along the city walls. First, you can hear the specific location of the enemy, and second, you can divert water and drown the enemy. ”

"Liu Xianling is really knowledgeable."

Zhou Fan said in a weird way.

"Well, this general soldier will order someone to do it."

Although Zhou Fan feels that it is a little too early to do this, it is always right to take precautions.

"By the way, there's something else to do in this county..."

"What else does Liu County's order have to teach?"

Zhou Fan forcibly suppressed the disdain in his heart.

"This county sees that the cannon at the head of this city is very powerful, why don't you take the opportunity to bombard him!"

Seeing the Ming army digging tunnels here, Liu Han was very unhappy.

"Liu Xianling is really sharp-eyed. It's a pity that this cannon is just a good thing, and it will explode at the slightest fire, and it won't be used at all! ”

Zhou Fan said angrily.

If this cannon really works, how can he not use it?

"Well, I see."

Liu Xianling also felt a little embarrassed and stopped squeaking.

Let you have eighteen kinds of martial arts, Lao Tzu will not go out, can you bear me?

...

...

"Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Li Dingguo was a little nervous, did gunpowder really have an effect on the city wall?

Then why can't it be blown up at all with shelling?

Could it be that there is a problem with the location of the bombing?

Anyway, you have to give it a try.

"Good work."

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "The soldiers have all come out of the tunnel, right?" ”

"It's all out."

"Very well, when this fuse is lit, everyone will retreat far away."

Zhu Youlang glanced at the lead, it was indeed long enough.

"Let's light the fire."

"Your Majesty has a decree to light the fire!"

Zhu Youlang gave an order, and naturally someone went to ignite the fuse.

Sting!

But with a crisp sound, the lead was ignited, and the spark quickly moved towards the tunnel.

The soldier who ignited the fuse hurriedly jumped and retreated into the distance.

By the time they had all retreated to a safe distance, the spark had just burrowed into the ground.

Well, this security work is still in place.

Everyone was waiting for the results, and Zhu Youlang's mood was even more nervous.

Is the effect of this coffin bombing the city really so ideal? Will it just blow up a big hole in the city wall?

The air was very quiet, so quiet that Zhu Youlang could hear the heartbeat clearly.

After a while, but a loud noise was heard, and the walls of Yiling City shifted to the side to some extent, but there was obviously still a big gap before it was blown up.

Zhu Youlang was a little disappointed.

Is it a matter of gunpowder proportion, or is it that the coffin is not well sealed?

...
