To be honest, Gao Jie's soldiers were not optimistic about blowing up the city walls with gunpowder.

Although black powder can be ignited as a boost, it is the cannons and bullets that are really powerful.

There are examples of bombardment of city walls with heavy artillery, but it is unheard of to bombard a city directly with gunpowder.

However, Gao Jie is their commander, and the soldiers naturally do not question the orders of their own commander.

It's just that more people are looking forward to the development of events with a state of mind.

Jin Yuhe on the head of the city was even more confused by the ecstasy array laid by the Ming army.

Digging more than a dozen tunnels at the same time, does the Ming army want to take a multi-pronged approach?

But the problem is that it takes a long time to dig tunnels, often a month, and how much effort does it take to dig a dozen at the same time?

How could the Ming army launch a frontal attack in such a situation?

In the final analysis, the acupoint attack is only a secondary means, and the combination of a frontal attack often works wonders. However, if you give up a frontal attack, you can easily be targeted by relying solely on a point attack.

It stands to reason that Gao Jie is also a general, but he doesn't understand such a simple truth?

Jin Yuhe couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, the more stupid tricks Gao Jie made, the more beneficial it would be for Jin Yuhe.

The small mounds piled up by the Ming army were not far from the city wall, so Jin Yuhe could clearly see the movements of the Ming soldiers.

He saw the Ming soldiers carrying the coffin into the tunnel, and said in his heart that this must be trying to hollow out the city foundation, support it with the coffin, and then burn the coffin to make the city foundation collapse.

But isn't the coffin a little too big? In general, this effect can be achieved with just wooden stakes. And there's no need to bring the coffin in so early.

Jin Yuhe immediately ordered the soldiers stationed on the inner side of the city wall to be on standby at any time, and as soon as the soldiers in the water tank heard the movement, they led water into the pit and drowned the dogs.

However, what made Jin Yuhe find it difficult was that these Ming soldiers evacuated one after another soon after carrying the coffin into the tunnel.

Jin Yuhe's eyes widened like cowbells, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

As far as he knows, it will take at least ten days and half a month to completely dig up the city foundation, and the Ming army will dig the tunnel for a total of two or three days.

Even if this Gao Jie is old and confused, don't the other generals in his army know to persuade him?

Before Jin Yuhe could laugh at Gao Jie's stupidity, he heard a loud bang.

The earth seemed to tremble, stones and rubble flew in a flew of rubble, and the smoke and dirt swayed upwards and made people look dusty.

Jin Yuhe was choked and coughed, and lay on the ground under the escort of his own soldiers.

After a long while, when the smoke and dust had cleared slightly, he stood up tremblingly.

Didn't the ground move?

Although Jin Yuhe has not personally experienced the ground movement, he has also heard the old people talk about it.

It is said that when the ground moves, the ground will completely crack, regardless of whether it is a simple house where ordinary people live, or a mansion full of carved beams and paintings by princes and princes, it will collapse with it.

Fang Cai's scene is too similar to what it looked like when the earth moved.

"General Jin, look, the city wall has collapsed!"

A soldier with sharp eyes first saw through the smoke and dust that a huge gap appeared in the city wall more than a dozen paces away.

The gap was three zhang wide, and the entire section of the wall collapsed inward, and although it did not collapse completely, there was a slope that could be used by soldiers to rush and kill.

Jin Yuhe was shocked. If the Ming army took advantage of this sudden slope to launch a charge, I am afraid that the green battalion army under his command would be difficult to resist.

"Quick, go to the gap and repair an inner wall."

For now, the only way to do this is to build an inner wall before the Ming army can charge. This improvised inner wall was certainly not as strong as the city wall itself, but it was better than nothing, and it was able to cause some difficulties for the charging Ming army.

In the roar of Jin Yuhe, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army drove the strong men to the gap to build the inner wall.

They had barely reached the gap when they heard another loud bang before they could carry the stones and the giant trees.

Then there was a tremor on the ground, rocks and sand flew up, and smoke and dust rolled up and poured into people's eyes and mouths.

It's exactly the same as the one you just saw!

The soldiers and strong men of the Green Battalion were all frightened and fell down with their heads in their hands.

When they were able to open their eyes, they found another gap in the wall about a hundred and fifty paces to the east.

Jin Yuhe's face above the city was already pale, and before he could give an order, he heard a series of loud noises.

In less than half a pillar of incense, there were more than a dozen loud noises, and the earth trembled with each sound, followed by bricks and rubble, and yellow dust rolling. After all this, a huge gap will appear in the wall.

After all this is over, there are at least two or three gaps on each wall of Kaifeng City, although it is not full of holes, but it is also very terrifying.

"What the fuck, what the hell!"

Jin Yu and Zhi were furious. He was not convinced, if this Gao Jie was not lucky, he would not have a chance to capture Kaifeng City in three or two months.

But after this series of ground movements, the majestic Kaifeng City seems to have become a little lady wearing only a thin veil, facing a strong man like a wolf and a tiger, isn't it only the share of being crushed and ravaged?

Isn't the sky going to kill me?

Jin Yuhe gritted his teeth and was still ready to resist desperately. The trapped beast is still fighting, and he must not admit defeat so easily.

Jin Yuhe's command ability was still very strong, and under his transfer, 30,000 soldiers of the Green Battalion were equally divided into each gap to guard.

There is definitely no time to build the inner wall now, but the city wall has not completely collapsed, and the green battalion soldiers can still occupy a certain advantage in the city.

Although there are more than a dozen openings, each one is not particularly wide, and one or two thousand people are enough to guard it.

Gradually, Jin Yuhe also calmed down, and he found that the situation was not too bad to be out of control, and he didn't have to rush to wield a knife to kill himself.

What surprised Jin Yuhe even more was that the Ming army did not seem to be in a hurry to launch an offensive. This gave Jin Yuhe ample time to deploy his troops.

In the big tent of the Ming army not far away, Gao Jie was also stunned in surprise.

"Thief, your mother, this gunpowder is so powerful in a coffin."

He ordered the soldiers to dig tunnels and send coffins filled with gunpowder into the tunnels to be buried, just to make a show and make His Majesty the Emperor feel better.

In his opinion, the gunpowder of a coffin could not shake the strong foundation of the city at all.

Who would have wanted to ignite the fuse, and there were more than a dozen loud noises one after another, and the surroundings of Kaifeng City seemed to be like the sky was falling.

After the yellow dust dissipated, more than a dozen openings appeared on the city wall of Kaifeng City, announcing the success of the improved version of the cave attack.

However, Gao Jie was completely unprepared at first, so he did not immediately order the soldiers to attack after the city wall was blown down.

Li Chengdong stepped forward and reminded: "Commander, please give the order to attack the city!" ”
