Chapter 184: Blow Up Your Turtle Shell (First Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Seeing this, Daniel Zhang wanted to scold his mother.
The Ming army was waiting for him here in the mound.
Didn't he fall into the net?
Although Daniel Zhang's ability to lead the troops is not very good, he can see at a glance that Li Chengdong is a ruthless person. Those Ming cavalry are also elite.
Not to mention these green battalion soldiers under his command, even if the elite of the Han Eight Banners really faced this Ming cavalry, they might not be able to win.
People are self-aware, and Daniel Zhang is clear about his ability to lead troops.
What are you fighting at this time, let's run!
Daniel Zhang turned the horse's head as fast as he could, twitched the whip fiercely, and urged the beasts under his crotch to run desperately.
will be the courage of the army.
Seeing that Daniel Zhang had no intention of fighting, the Qing army's green battalion soldiers also fled.
Although their mounts are not explosive, they are still willing to work hard when they perceive danger.
Li Chengdong led the cavalry in pursuit, and after shooting down several Qing army green battalion soldiers, he stopped chasing them, allowing them to flee into a temporary camp built by the city gate.
Daniel Zhang fled into the camp in a panic and ordered someone to knock on the door.
When the gates were opened, he rode into the city without saying a word.
Zu Kefa stood at the head of the city to supervise the battle, and saw what Daniel Zhang had done clearly.
He immediately called Daniel Zhang to his side and scolded him with his head and face.
Zu Kefa scolded very badly, and occasionally greeted Daniel Zhang's female relatives in Liaodong native dialect, and the individual words were simply unbearable.
All the generals looked at each other, and it could be seen that the chief soldier was really angry this time.
Daniel Zhang lowered his head, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Zu Kefa didn't save him any face, he was really a wretched general.
Zu Kefa scolded enough, and panted with his hands on his waist: "Those thieves clearly want to protect the mound, it seems that they really want to make some fame with the help of the tunnel." ”
He said this to the people as well as to himself.
He didn't quite believe in the Ming army's statement that the city wall was blown up. The walls are so strong, if they can be easily blown apart, why do the besieging sides rely on human lives to fill them?
This must be a rumor spread by the Ming army, trying to shake the morale of the Qing army.
"Ben thinks they're going to dig tunnels into the city."
"The chief soldier is wise."
As soon as Zu Kefa finished speaking, all the generals clapped their ass.
"The last general saw that the mound was facing the city wall, so the thief must have wanted to dig a tunnel to transport the thief into the city. Otherwise, if they want to dig down the foundation of the city, they should dig a tunnel at the corner of the city! ”
Daniel Zhang endured the embarrassment and hugged Zu Kefa with his fist.
"Yes."
Zu Kefa also felt that Fang Cai scolded Daniel Zhang too harshly, and had the heart to make amends, so he cleared his throat and said, "What Vice General Zhang said is good. In this case, what we had to do was to dig a canal along the inner wall of the city wall and place a tank of water every twenty steps to listen to the sound. If the thieves approach the wall, they will make a noise, and we will pour the stored water into the hole and drown them! ”
Zu Kefa clenched his fists viciously, as if he wanted to crush Gao Jie.
"The chief soldier is wise. The thief is so lightly attacked, let's give him a color! ”
Daniel Zhang was anxious to regain face, and took the initiative to ask Zu Kefa for orders: "Please also ask the chief soldier to hand over this task to the last general, and the last general will definitely be guilty of meritorious service!" ”
Zu Kefa pondered for a moment, and said with a slight bow: "Okay, this general soldier has ordered you to take full responsibility for this matter, and you must destroy the thieves in the tunnel!" ”
......
......
"Dashuai, it's almost ready!"
Li Chengdong saw the soldiers coming out of the tunnel one after another, and said very excitedly.
Gao Jie grabbed the horsewhip and nodded at the head of the city: "This Zu Kefa is really a fool, and he doesn't know that he is dying." I really don't know what the Tartars thought when he asked him to be the chief soldier of Wei Hui and lead tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers. ”
Gao Jie is an out-and-out rogue, not relying on the sky or the earth, relying on himself.
and the sons of Liaoxi generals like Zu Kefa are completely two types of people.
Therefore, Gao Jie looked down on Zu Kefa very much, thinking that this person could have his current status mostly because he had a good father.
"There are a few people in this world who are the opponents of the handsome."
Li Chengdong is not completely sycophant, but sincerely admires Gao Jie. Although he did not recognize Gao Jie as his father-in-law, he really regarded Gao Jie as his father.
"Zu Kefa wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, let's blow up its turtle shell to a pulp and see if he can shrink his eggs."
With the successful experience of blowing up the Kaifeng city wall, Gao Jie is very confident in blowing up the Weihui city wall.
This time he also made special improvements, and decided to concentrate the gunpowder and blow it up from one place.
Although the city wall was blown up before, the wall of the city wall actually only tilted to a certain extent and became a slope. In this case, it was more beneficial for the Qing army defending the city, while the Ming army still had to climb the slope if they wanted to enter the city.
Gao Jie felt that this was the reason why the amount of gunpowder was not enough.
This time, he dug the tunnel wider and deeper, and the amount of gunpowder was changed from one coffin to four, and ordered the soldiers to transport it to the tunnel in turn.
The same as before, both the coffin itself and the space dug under the city wall were sealed to the greatest extent. This is what the Son of Heaven has repeatedly emphasized, and only when it is well sealed can gunpowder exert its greatest power.
As the last Ming soldier walked out of the tunnel, Gao Jie's eyes narrowed.
Li Chengdong knew that Gao Jie was going to give the order, and his eyes also showed anticipation.
I don't know how powerful this improved "coffin bombing city" tactic is, he can't wait to see what it is.
Everyone's attention shifted to the city wall facing them, staring intently, for fear of missing a big show.
With Gao Jie's order, a soldier lit the fuse, and everyone held their breath and waited for that moment to come.
After a short time, I heard a loud bang, and the bricks and rubble flew in all directions, and the thick dust rolled out of the sky.
Even the earth trembled.
The generals of the Ming army were all excited, this movement alone was much stronger than when it was exploded before, and the actual effect must be no worse!
When the dust gradually cleared, everyone noticed a huge gap in the wall of Weihui.
It's not a steep slope that slopes, it's a real notch!
Oh my God, this time I just blew up the turtle shell of the Tartars!
"Rush the city!"
Gao Jie didn't give them much time to be shocked and emotional, and gave the order for a general attack in a deep voice.
The soldiers of the Ming army were all prepared, and Gao Jie launched a charge as soon as he gave the order.
At this time, the Qing army in Weihui City was still in extreme shock, and did not realize that it was one step closer to death.
The gap that had been blown up was so big that it could accommodate dozens of people rushing in at the same time. It didn't take a cup of tea for the Ming army to transport thousands of soldiers into the city.
