Chapter 518: The Inner City Explodes

Seeing that the auxiliary soldiers threw down this handle and threw the thunder, but they did not cause any substantial damage to these special combined vehicles of the Qing army, and almost had no impact on the entire battle situation, Li Dingguo's heart suddenly tightened even deeper.

What to do? Do you just let the enemy soldiers come and attack the city? If the inner city wall is really blown down, with the only remaining long-range troops in the inner city, I am afraid that it will not be the opponent of the Qing army at all, and even the surging Qing army may be wiped out in one drum.

At this moment, Li Dingguo's brain is spinning like a high-speed motor. However, as if in a blink of an eye, Li Dingguo suddenly thought of the fact that Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao, had talked to him in a casual conversation in the past, and how to deal with this kind of combined car in the battle of guarding Jinjiazhuang Fort on Xuanfu North Road.

At this moment, Li Dingguo's eyes lit up. That's right, isn't this the current strategy, well, just follow the method of King Pingliao!

"Quickly organize the soldiers on each city wall, burn coal, mix in fire oil to help the fire, and then dump down the wall, and be sure to burn all these strange cars of the Qing army!" Li Dingguo ordered loudly.

"Order!" Just as the Tang army was quickly looking for the coal in the inner city and began to make a fire, the combined vehicle of the Qing army had already arrived under the city wall.

Every soldier of the Tang Army could clearly hear the clanging chisel sound under the inner city walls.

Under the four walls of Vladivostok Fort, there were more than a dozen such combined vehicles, leaning against the wall, the chiseling sound was very harsh, and every Tang soldier seemed to be faintly able to feel the chiseling sound, as if it was knocking on his own heart, and the city wall under his feet was coming from a slight vibration one after another.

At the same time, it seemed that the Qing army under the city could hear bursts of piercing laughter, as if the inner city had fallen into their hands.

Seeing that the situation was so critical, Li Dingguo clenched his fists, and his face was as cold as iron. He knew that whether he could destroy these cars in time became the key to whether he could successfully defend the inner city, and only by burning these combined vehicles in time could he finally successfully protect the fortress wall.

In the square inside the fort, the lieutenant general Zu Band led the retreating crossbowmen and set fire to piles of coal. After each pile of coal was burned, other soldiers carried it in large iron drums and carried it under the four walls, and then from the top of the city wall, they mixed these burning coals with fierce fire oil, so that the more burning coals were poured down from the city.

In order to survive the winter smoothly, there are sufficient coal blocks in the inner city of Vladivostok Fort, and Li Dingguo does not have to worry about the shortage of coal blocks.

As far as the eye can see, countless soldiers of the Tang Army, like a team of ants carrying goods, run back and forth between the square and the city wall, constantly repeating the actions of loading coal and dumping.

After these burning coals with fierce fire oil were continuously dumped under the city, Li Dingguo saw that the trick that Li Xiao used in Jinjiazhuang Fort back then was really effective and began to have a remarkable effect.

The coals, which were overturned on the combine, were still burning violently, and first the soaked cowhide and the wet quilt underneath were quickly dried and then the whole combine was set on fire, and the fire quickly spread to the whole car.

Because the ignition point of such a combined vehicle was at the top, the Qing troops hiding below could not extinguish the fire in time, and could only watch the fire get bigger and bigger, and finally completely burned the entire combined vehicle to ashes.

Soon, as the Tang army kept pouring such violently burning coal, more and more vehicles began to burn and catch fire.

It's just that Rao is combined car began to catch fire, and the Qing army dug the wall under the tool, afraid of the military order, but no one dared to escape without permission, and the Tartar leaders who were in the formation inside kept drinking and ordering them to continue to speed up the progress of the excavation.

The Qing soldiers were frantically digging into the corners of the inner city, almost naively hoping that they would dig the caves before the cart burned down so that they could fill the explosive boxes themselves.

Soon, the Qing army began to understand how stupid their own fantasies were.

"Boom!" With a dull explosion, one such combined car finally collapsed from top to bottom, smashing most of the Qing troops inside into meat patties, and only a few Qing soldiers who were burned like burning men, in an extremely terrifying form, howled and ran out of a distance, and then fell to the ground in extreme pain and convulsed to death, until they were completely burned into a mass of charcoal.

Soon, four more such combined vehicles were burned and collapsed by the coal thrown down, and the Qing troops inside were also unable to escape death.

What is particularly terrifying and terrifying is that after one of the combined vehicles was burned down, the raging flames ignited the explosive box carried by the Qing army, and suddenly, the huge explosion that could almost burst the human eardrum sounded, and the entire collapsed combined vehicle, as well as the Qing troops under the car who were flattened and burned to death, all exploded into pieces, becoming a large mass of scattered debris.

Seeing that the Qing army under the city was beaten so miserably by their own coal-burning tactics, the Tang army at the head of the city let out a loud cheer, and everyone's face was full of joy.

Seeing the Qing army's combined car offensive, it was suddenly frustrated, and Huang Taiji and others, who were watching the battle from a distance, were all anxious.

They never expected that after guarding against the Tang army's crossbow arrows and hand-thrown mines, the Tang army would be able to use such a primitive but very effective way to deal a devastating blow to the combined vehicle that they had painstakingly built.

It's just that now that the Qing army has come to the city, they want to make adjustments, but it's too late.

Haoge couldn't help it at first, he said loudly to Huang Taiji: "Khan Ama, the Tang army's coal-burning and car-burning tactics are really very powerful, and now our army's casualties have increased significantly, if we continue to resist like this, we will only pay more and greater casualties, if you give an order, they will retreat first."

Hearing Hauge's words, Dorgon immediately objected, and he blushed and exclaimed, "No! Your Majesty, I can't bear the wolf with my child, this siege battle, the casualties of the soldiers are inevitable, if the soldiers are withdrawn at this critical moment, our army will be in vain! Then this inner city, I'm afraid I don't know when, I can take it!

Huang Taiji's face sank as iron, but he groaned slightly, but he still agreed with Dorgon's opinion. You must know that the only hope now is that the Qing army can use its numerical superiority to blow up the inner city wall of the Tang army on the premise of paying a huge price for casualties, so as to find a gap for the Qing army to attack the city. Finally, even if the Qing army was lucky, when more than a dozen combined vehicles had been burned down, there was a combined vehicle in the dead corners of the north and south walls of the inner city, and it was lucky to escape the attack of the Tang army, and the cave dug to fill the explosive wooden box was dug. Then the Tartar immediately waved the flag that the Qing army had successfully dug out the pit and placed it. Seeing the flag coming, Huang Taiji Dolgon and the others were all overjoyed.

"Wow, although our army has suffered heavy sacrifices, it is still quite worth it if we can finally blow up the inner city walls of Vladivostok Fort." Huang Taiji ordered with a happy face: "Raise the flag, ask them to blow up the inner city wall at all costs, and lay a solid foundation for our army's next move!" ”

"The slave has an order!" When this Bakash soldier hurriedly went down to give the order, Huang Taiji hurriedly added a sentence in the back: "If the order goes down, if these two places can successfully blow up the inner city wall, they can be counted as the first credit!" ”

"Order!" At this time, Huang Taiji, who was in a happy mood, smiled at Dolgon on the side with a relaxed look: "Old Fourteen, this trick of using an explosive box to collapse the city wall, but the Liukou in the Ming Dynasty are used to using it, do you know?" Dolgon smiled and said, "What the emperor said, the courtiers have actually heard it. Now in the Ming Dynasty, such an explosive wooden box is used to destroy the city wall, and it is commonly used by the Ming army and the rogues, and even more so, in order to save trouble, there are people who directly use coffins to fill explosives. Of course, the most famous, is a few years ago, in the counterattack on Dengzhou, the Ming army by digging tunnels, the incomparably strong Dengzhou wall roots, the Ming Dynasty's martial champion king to hire, is made of such a coffin made of explosive wooden box, successfully collapsed the Dengzhou city wall. Although Wang Lai hired this person, he was immediately killed by the rebels' random arrows, but the Ming army finally succeeded in attacking Dengzhou from the gap caused by the blasting, eliminating the remnants of Kong Youde's remnants who had no time to withdraw, and finally succeeded in occupying Dengzhou City. Huang Taiji nodded and said: "What the fourteenth brother said is that we used this explosive wooden box today to blast open the inner city wall of Vladivostok Fort, which can be regarded as using the way of others to control the body of others, and after the inner city wall is blasted open, the old fourteenth you will quit your hard work and immediately lead the troops to charge into battle, and you must take this inner city of Vladivostok Fort to me in one fell swoop!" Dolgon hurriedly said: "Yes, the courtier brother will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!" At this time, Li Dingguo inadvertently saw from the city that the Qing army was beginning to carefully put the explosive box into the dug cave, and began to light the velvet to ignite the fuse that exploded like a coffin wooden box.

Seeing this scene, Li Dingguo's face changed instantly. I didn't expect it! I originally thought that the Qing army would not be able to bear the pressure of casualties and retreat on its own when the combined vehicles were burned one after another, but I did not expect that the Qing army was not afraid of death and injury, and attacked in waves like crazy, and after paying a huge price in casualties, the Qing army finally dug up the city wall and began to load the explosive wooden box, ready to blow up the city wall!

At present, it seems impossible to stop the Qing army from blowing up this section of the city wall. The only thing I can do is how to reduce my losses as much as possible.

"All the soldiers pay attention, quickly leave the position of the Qing army to bomb the city, retreat to other places to continue to guard the city wall and attack the enemy's strange cars, be careful of the collapse of the city wall!" Li Dingguo's face turned pale, and he yelled at the soldiers.

As soon as his order was conveyed, those Tang soldiers were still withdrawing in a chaotic and hurry, and immediately two deafening explosions sounded from the inner city walls in the north and south.

"Bang!"

"Bang!" Li Dingguo only felt that the city wall under his feet shook violently, making it difficult for him to stand firmly, and he almost fell to the ground.

The mass of dust rushed to his face, choking him almost out of breath, and then coughing violently.

Li Dingguo, who finally stood firm, saw through the dust in the castle that he was surprised to see that on the north and south city walls, there were two huge gaps that were more than four meters wide!

Some soldiers of the Tang Army, who had not had time to dodge in time, were hit by the strong air wave of the explosion, fell into the air like pieces of paper, and then fell to the ground screaming, and died in a blur of flesh and blood.

Seeing that the inner city wall was still blown down in two places by the Qing army, Li Dingguo's heart was as painful as a knife, and the Tang army stationed above was terrified, and everyone's face was full of inexplicable fear.

At this time, the Qing army under the city came with a huge cheer, such a beast-like cheer, stretched out, and the entire Qing army array was full of laughter and roars, stacked like thunder.

"Haha, I've got it!" After seeing from a distance that the inner city garrisoned by the Tang army had been bombarded with two huge gaps, Dolgon couldn't help but look proud and clap his hands and laugh.

On the side, Haug Duoduo Abatai and the others had an extremely excited expression, and their eyes were shining with greedy red light. Belle.

And Huang Taiji's face was also full of joy, and the face of the big cake turned flushed with extreme excitement, and he shouted at Dolgon: "Old Fourteen, order the remaining combined vehicles to abandon on the spot and withdraw the soldiers who are digging the cave." If you quickly reorganize your troops and horses and attack the inner city from these two openings, you must completely destroy the Tang army defenders in the city, and after our army enters the inner city, we will slaughter all the Tang troops in the city, and completely raze the inner city of Vladivostok Fort! I also want to cut the dog thief Li Dingguo, who will not surrender, to me as meat sauce! Dolgon also looked excited and expectant, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if your brother can't take this inner city, he is willing to come and see him!" Seeing that Dorgon was about to take the lead in attacking the inner city of Vladivostok, Hauge, Dordo Abatai and others were very jealous, and they also proposed to Taiji that they would also lead their troops and horses to attack the inner city of Vladivostok.

Listening to the proposal of the three of them, Huang Taiji laughed, of course he knew that Hauge, Duoduo and Abatai, Mingli wanted to make military achievements for the Qing Dynasty and share the pressure for Dolgon, but in fact, he just didn't want Dolgon to monopolize all the merits.

However, at this time, Huang Taiji, although he was watching the fire of the small ninety-nine caves in their hearts, he was extremely happy in his heart, and he did not have the slightest sense of reproach, but said loudly: "Very good, very good, since you all have the heart to make meritorious contributions to the Qing Dynasty, I will become you today, and the three of you are all deputy generals, and you will obey the command of Dolgon in a unified manner, and lead the soldiers and horses to attack the inner city, in short, you must completely take this inner city to me, understand?" Seeing that Huang Taiji had agreed, the three of them were full of joy on their faces, and then responded in unison: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will wait here, I will definitely live up to my expectations, and I will succeed!" Seeing that the three of them were all happy to set off diligently, Huang Taiji, who was happy, replied to the soldiers who were close to Bai Swing Tooth on the side and ordered: "Listen, in order to better stimulate morale and encourage the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, you move my imperial chair to the wall of the West Gate." Let all the attacking Qing soldiers be able to see where I am as soon as they look up, and let them see how I am in the battle formation and boost their morale! I sat on the western city wall and watched how my Qing soldiers captured the inner city of Vladivostok in one fell swoop! ”
