Chapter 107: Battle of Xiangcheng IV

"The old man is here." Wang Qiaonian lifted the flag, stood by the sword, and stepped on the women's wall with one foot. Half of his body was eager to lean out of the city. He shouted loudly: "All the armies fight bravely to kill the enemy, the thief is the first rank, the first level is one hundred taels, and there will be no arrears." ”

At the same time, Vice General Jia immediately lined up the guards around him, and several shields blocked Wang Qiaonian.

"Snatch and snatch." For a while, arrows rained down, all nailed to this shield, and even arrows pierced through the shield. Shot several of Adjutant Jia's own soldiers to death.

General Jia easily pulled Wang Qiaonian back and said, "Master Inspector, please take care of your health. ”

Wang Qiaonian said: "So far, why don't I regret this, the reason why the world is corrupted to such an extent is that civil officials are afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death." ”

"How can the battle array be done with death?" Adjutant General Jia said: "Please sit down with the superintendent, there is a subordinate official, this city cannot be broken, and after the subordinate official dies, it is not too late for the superintendent to talk about life and death." ”

Daming has never lacked generals, perhaps there is a lack of talent in commanding a side, but on the battlefield, there is never a shortage of fierce generals and brave generals who urge the enemy to be sharp. After Vice General Jia took over the city, the banner of the king was re-established, even if Liu Zongmin attacked the city in a big way.

After the artillery, I don't know how many ladders came up to the city. No matter how fierce the battle is, Vice General Jia can hold on.

Vice General Jia has fulfilled his promise to Wang Qiaonian, the city is like a rock, people are like wheat beans, wheat beans turn into noodles, and people are flesh and blood, and this city has been immovable.

Liu Zongmin rode on a horse, about 500 steps east of the city, watching the soldiers around him rush up in waves, and then died in battle under the city, or retreated, naturally someone responded, and then a group of people rushed up. Some of the ladders have been erected at the head of the city, and the long iron hooks on the ladders are hooked into the female wall to create a stable passage to the city.

On this passage, the fighting accumulated, rolling stones and wood, cannonballs and oil, but after a while, it turned into a ball of burning charcoal.

Liu Zongmin's face did not move, and he only occasionally looked at the sun.

Suddenly, a guard came to Liu Zongmin's side and said, "My lord, Hu Quede said that he was almost ready. ”

"Okay." Liu Zongmin said: "Mingjin. Bring up my old battalion leader. ”

"Yes."

"Dangdang." The sound of the gold spread throughout the battlefield, and Liu Zongmin knew that at this time, it was not the end of today's siege, but the beginning. It's time for the final word.

Inside the city of Xiangcheng.

With the tide of the besieging side retreating.

In the midst of listening, the water surface, which had been violently shaking, suddenly calmed down.

No, it wasn't completely calm, and the ripples were still rippling above the water.

Before the roar of artillery, fighting

sounds, explosions, countless sounds mixed together, even in the ground listening, can not completely filter out these noises, but at this moment, these sounds are suddenly gone, the underground sound in the ground listening, extremely clear.

"My lord, there's movement here." The person who was guarding the ground and listening immediately reported the matter, but after a while, Liu Hanchen came over.

He listened to several nearby places for a while, and after determining the direction of the voice, he pointed to a place and said, "That's it, here, dig." ”

Hundreds of people were organized by Liu Hanchen to dig on the spot to dig a tunnel here.

In the tunnels under the city, Hu Quede is doing the final work.

He dug a large hole under the city wall, stuffed it in, several coffins of gunpowder, connected the leads, and released them through a bamboo pole.

Then I did it myself, filled the tunnel with more than a zhang of loess, and filled it hard. Then he came out of the tunnel.

"How?" Hu Quede just came out, and he only felt that his eyes were bright, and the light was a little dazzling. Before I could see who the person in front of me was, I heard someone say, "Is it all done?" ”

Hu Quede's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he saw clearly that the person in front of him was none other than Zhang Nai.

Hu Quede hurriedly said: "General Xiao Zhang, please rest assured, nothing goes wrong." ”

Zhang Nai said: "Okay, I'll inform General Liu, if there is a case, be careful of your dog's head." ”

Hu Quede said: "The little one knows, the little one knows." ”

With a "boom", a rocket rushed into the sky, this rocket was not an ignition arrow, but on the shaft of the arrow, tied to the gunpowder cartridge, propelled by the power of gunpowder.

As soon as this gunpowder arrow flew into the sky, it attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing this, Liu Zongmin waved his hand and said, "Everyone is ready." ”

Seeing this, Li Zicheng's face immediately became serious, as if he remembered the bad memories of being under Kaifeng City.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan condensed his mind and blasted the city wall, although Zhang Xuan did not participate, but he had also heard about it, and he wanted to know to what extent Li Zicheng's technology of blasting the city wall could be achieved. Can you do it like a piece of paper?

This is related to his position in the future siege of the city. So very concerned.

At the head of the city, it was not that no one saw this rocket. Wang Qiaonian and Deputy General Jia had seen it, and Wang Qiaonian felt an ominous premonition, but the information was insufficient, and he didn't know what would happen. It can only remind all of them to be on heightened alert.

At this moment, Liu Hanchen is urging hundreds of people to speed up the excavation and prepare to dig the tunnel first.

"Boom." There was a loud bang.

The smoke and dust were several zhang high, and Zhang Xuan couldn't see the one in front of him clearly for a while, only feeling that there was a yellow in front of him, as if a sandstorm was coming. Some loess even

Swing to Zhang Xuan.

It took a while for the smoke to clear.

Zhang Xuan looked around, but saw the good Xiangcheng, the city wall was forced down dozens of meters, as if it had been bitten by something. Large chunks of adobe crumbled everywhere. Although the city wall collapsed, it did not collapse a large pit, but the place where the wall broke was one or two meters above the city wall, turning into a gentle slope.

"Kill." Liu Zongmin shouted loudly.

For a while, hundreds of armor soldiers, who were not in a queue at all, rushed towards the gap. Liu Zongmin also worked hard and took the lead with his personal guards.

"Fathers and grandfathers of Xiangcheng, you can't rush up, think about your family, kill me."

Liu Hanchen stood up with a disgraced face, didn't say a word, greeted a few times loudly, and rushed into the gap with dozens of people around him.

At the time of the explosion, Liu Hanchen and his people were nearby. Fortunately, Liu Hanchen did not dig by himself, but supervised the formation in the back, so the people who leaned in front died, and Liu Hanchen almost died in the explosion.

But he also knew that if he was rushed in by the official army, his whole family would not be lucky. Shouting loudly, he rushed forward with the only dozens of family members around him.

The power of Xiangcheng has actually been taken over by the gentry of Xiangcheng. Therefore, the backbone officers at all levels were all scholars, and they knew too well what would happen if the rogues entered the city, so under the call of Liu Hanchen, hundreds of people gathered and rushed forward.

For a while, he collided with Liu Zongmin in the gap of the city wall.

The gap in the wall was not wide, and it was crowded with so many people. There was hardly any gap, and everyone bumped into it, but it was just a knife to the flesh, and a life for a life. There is little room for martial arts.

This is the real interpretation of what it is, called the place of the corpse.

However, after a few moments, it was not known how many corpses had become stepping stones for them, and the blood flowed eastward like a stream.

"Quick." Wang Qiaonian also reacted.

The explosion just now felt the most terrifying to the people on the city wall, he could feel the buildings under his feet swaying, as if they might fall to the ground at any moment, and countless soldiers panicked, almost scattered.

I haven't come back to my senses yet.

However, Wang Qiaonian had seen a wide range of knowledge, immediately recovered, stepped forward in person, raised a small cannon, turned the muzzle, aimed at the outside of the gap, and bombarded.

"Boom. Boom, boom. This time it was a scattered bullet, and a large area of iron sand hit Liu Zongmin's subordinates, and there were heavy casualties for a while.

Even Liu Zongmin hung up the lottery.

Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth, hating it in his heart, but he also knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and a word broke out from between his teeth: "Withdraw." ”
