Chapter 371: Li Zicheng's Strange Road (3)
Inside the camp of Cangmang Mountain.
"Huh? How did the Ming army stop shelling? Li Guo smelled something unusual for a moment.
"Could it be that they're running out of shells?" Li Zicheng couldn't help but think expectantly that if the Ming army's shells were really all used up, wouldn't his Cangmang Mountain be safe.
Li Zicheng was excited in an instant.
However, Li Zicheng's excitement did not last long, and he immediately thought that even if the Ming army's shells were really used up, it would be impossible for them to withdraw at this point, and they would immediately mobilize the shells from Nanjing City, as long as the Ming army's shells arrived, he still could not escape death.
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, couldn't he Li Zicheng escape this catastrophe?
"No, it is impossible for the Ying Long Army to have so few shells, according to the configuration of the Ying Long Army, every time they go out on an expedition, they carry enough shells to bombard at least one day in a row, unless they have some other tricks!" Li Guo said categorically.
He is not as optimistic as Li Zicheng, but thinks of all the possibilities that can be thought of.
Listening to Li Guo's mention, Li Zicheng suddenly realized.
In order to deal with the Ying Long Army, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty or Li Zicheng, or Zhang Xianzhong, they have sent people to understand everything about the Ying Long Army, from the configuration of the Ying Long Army to the materials carried by the Ying Long Army every time.
Generally speaking, each army of the Ying Long Army would bring at least enough shells for a whole day of artillery bombardment, and guns and shells that would be fired continuously for a day and a night.
This time, the Fifth Army of the Ying Long Army came, but it was just about an hour after the bombardment at Longfeng Bend, how could it be possible to run out of shells, so there was no need to think about it at all.
"They have a trick!" Li Zicheng's eyes widened and he was furious!
"Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, the last general will personally go to supervise the battle!" Li Guo said solemnly.
Li Zicheng nodded: "I'll go with you, I don't see what kind of tricks the Ming military uses, I'm not at ease!" ”
Li Zicheng had almost become a frightened bird, his eyes were bloodshot, and at this time, he couldn't sit still at all.
Soon, Li Zicheng and Li Guo came to the Cangmang Pass and climbed the stone wall built on the mountain pass.
"Quick, quick!" Through the stone wall, Li Zicheng and Li Guo clearly saw a Ming army filling a mountain of dirt not far away, and sacks full of dirt were being held together.
"Kill" Zhang Kuishan gave an order, and hundreds of Ming soldiers suddenly carried those sacks full of dirt and rushed towards the stone wall of Cangmang Mountain.
"It turns out that the Ming army wants to use sacks to pile a way out, hum, delusional!" Li Zicheng sneered.
Seeing through the Ming army's strategy, Li Zicheng was immediately relieved.
Yes, in fact, when establishing the Cangmang Mountain camp, Li Zicheng thought of this, and there was a special way to deal with it, which can show that if the army really wants to attack Cangmang Mountain through such a method, it will not be easy!
"Archer!" Li Zicheng shouted.
"Huh!" Thousands of archers of the Great Shun Army held bows and arrows, aiming at the rushing Ming army.
After the defeat of Longfeng Bend and the abandonment of Nanyang, Li Zicheng actually didn't have many Dashun troops left around him, only less than 50,000!
This less than 50,000 Dashun troops was Li Zicheng's last reliance.
"Put!"
When the Ming soldiers carrying sacks rushed into the range of bows and arrows, the archers of the Dashun Army on the stone wall fired thousands of arrows!
"Whew! Laugh at! Laugh at! ”
"Ahhhhh
"Ying Longjun is on!" Hundreds of Ying Long's army divided into three columns and rushed forward.
"Fire!"
"Bang Bang Bang" flintlock pistol aimed at the archers of the Dashun Army on the stone wall and fired.
Many archers of the Dashun Army who exposed their bodies were shot and killed!
"Poof! Burst! ”
"Your Majesty, be careful!" A few buckshot shots almost hit Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, watching a hole being punched out of a wooden stake next to him, he was palpitating just now, he almost died just now.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, please go down the stone wall immediately!" Li Guo said.
"That's all for you here, be careful!" Li Zicheng comforted Li Guo before leaving.
Under the "bang bang bang" stone wall, the firepower of the Ying Long army was extremely fierce, and the archers of the Dashun army on the stone wall couldn't raise their heads at all, so they could only hide behind the stone wall and shoot arrows!
Zhang Kuishan and the red lady have been paying attention to all this, and seeing this scene, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhang Kuishan's eyes.
"The time has come, carry the gunpowder and shells!"
Immediately, hundreds of Ming soldiers changed into sacks filled with gunpowder and shells, and rushed towards the stone wall of the Cangmang Pass.
In the process, from time to time, a few sacks were shot by the arrows shot by the archers of the Dashun army hiding behind the stone wall, and some gunpowder was inevitably exposed, but unfortunately all the soldiers of the Dashun army on the stone wall were pressed by the muskets of the Ying Long army and could not raise their heads, and no one could see it at all.
"Fire!"
At this critical juncture, the firepower of Ying Long's army became more intense, and even Li Guo, who was not afraid of death, did not dare to show his head casually, and for a while, no one could see that the Ming army had replaced all the sacks filled with dirt with shells of gunpowder that would kill people.
A large number of gunpowder and shells were continuously transported under the stone wall, piled up layer after layer!
As the gunpowder under the stone wall piled up more and more, the Grim Reaper approached Cangmang Mountain!
However, things did not go so smoothly after all, Li Guo suddenly and coincidentally saw the dirt mountain not far away from a corner of the eye, although the Ming army there was still loading the sacks into the sack to talk about the soil, but Li Guo found that the sacks full of soil were piled there, but there didn't seem to be a Ming soldier to carry it, so what are the Ming soldiers carrying now?
Li Guo had a trace of extremely bad premonition in his heart.
"Bang Bang Bang"
At the moment after Ying Longjun fired this time, Li Guo looked at the depths of his head for about a breath, and took his head back before the next time Ying Longjun fired.
At a hurried glance, Li Guo could only see that under the stone wall, the Ming soldiers were still piling sacks full of things under the stone wall.
There didn't seem to be anything suspicious about this, but Li Guo didn't think so, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger!
It's so wrong, since the sack that is being filled with dirt is not carried by the Ming soldiers, what exactly are the Ming soldiers carrying now?
Suddenly I thought that the Ming army had stopped the shelling early, and that when he hurriedly saw a sack being shot just now, something black was flowing out.
"Hey, that's gunpowder!" Li Guo's eyes widened instantly, he guessed that it must be a gunpowder shell of the Ming army.
A chill instantly made Li Guo's back full of cold sweat.
"Quick! Go find the torches! Li Guo roared in horror, extremely urgent! He was afraid that if he was a little late, when the Ming army had piled up the gunpowder and shells to a certain extent, everything would be over.
He had to ignite the gunpowder and cannonballs under the stone wall before they were enough to blow it down!
Faced with the approaching breath of death, Li Guo didn't even have time to wait for someone to find the torches, so he himself rushed to the place where the flint and torches existed, just hoping that everything was still in time!
