Crazy!

Sometimes only a madman can do something that ordinary people can't.

After successfully stirring up everyone's emotions, Zhu Mingzhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if he hadn't found that he had fooled these people, he would even be ready to take out another "big killing weapon".

Grab money, grab food, grab women!

Don't seal the knife for three days!

For any man, this allure is almost irresistible! The reason why the Manchus were able to conquer everything relied on this kind of post-siege raiding stimulation.

If necessary, these are not unusable, as long as they ...... But luckily...... These people are simple and easy to fool, but they just made a vision of being promoted and making a fortune, and they successfully stirred up people's hearts!

Everything is alright...... At least not in this way, for Zhu Mingzhong, who is bent on living at this time, the first thing he thinks about is to live!

To live, only to live first is the most important thing!

But how can you survive?

The way to live is in Jiangyin!

"The circumference is nine miles, the wall height is 2 zhang 2 feet, plus 4 sub-cities, 3 city shops, 22 enemy towers, nest shops, eight feet five inches wide under the city wall, six feet five inches wide on the top, more than 1687 zhang on all four sides of the city wall, 6749 steps, the door has a building. Dredging the moat around the city, the outer city river flows from the south to the west of the city through the Yongan Bridge, and turns northwest to the Longxu River through the Tianqing Gate, which is called the South Turn River; From the south of the Mihang Bridge along the east of the city to flow north of the Chunhui Gate to the west to Chengjiang Gate, called the east turn river, the total length of 2292.7 zhang, build the east, south, north water pass 3, communicate the water sources inside and outside the city. ”

From being driven to Zhu Mingzhong's command, Li Ziyuan, who was the general manager of the backbone battalion, pointed to Jiangyin City and introduced the Jiangyin City Wall, and asked nervously.

"My lord, can you really go down to Jiangyin in two days?"

Li Ziyuan, who is the general manager of the Houjin Battalion, is a northerner, and in the Zheng Family Army, the Houjin Battalion composed of northerners north of Fujian is "raised by the mother", perhaps because of this, he and the 1,500 brothers in the Houjin Battalion will be thrown into the hands of this person as cannon fodder.

Although this person was agitating the big guys to take Jiangyin City before, Li Ziyuan was not one of those simple-minded Qiu Ba, he knew very well that it was impossible to rely on these people to defeat Jiangyin, and it was two days. He had besieged Jiangyin for seven days before, but he failed to take Jiangyin, and now he actually wants to take Jiangyin in two days, isn't this a pipe dream?

"Linchuan, do you know what Jiangyin is?"

Zhu Mingzhong did not answer Li Ziyuan's question, but looked at Jiangyin City in the twilight and asked,

"Uh, my lord, my subordinates don't know what my lord means."

"The Nation of Loyalty!"

Facing Li Ziyuan, who seemed to be puzzled, Zhu Mingzhong sighed.

"Eighty days with allegiance, the figure of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu. 100,000 people died with one heart and left 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty......"

In an exclamation, Zhu Mingzhong continued.

"Such a loyal and righteous state, how can it be willing to be used by the eastern captives, although Cao Anbang defended the city and did not come out, but how could the people in this city turn their hearts to him?"

Staring at Jiangyin with cold eyes, Zhu Mingzhong thought of the resistance of the people of Jiangyin to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, and the people in the entire Jiangyin area adopted an attitude of non-cooperation with the Qing court: if they are not officials of the Qing Dynasty, they should not be acted by the Qing Dynasty. It was not until the Qianlong period that Qianlong gave Yan Dianshi a temple in Jiangyin and took the initiative to show favor to Jiangyin, and the situation changed. In this case, Jiangyin garrison Cao Anbang forcibly pulled more than 10,000 strong men to help defend Jiangyin, what is the use?

But it's just a personal field!

"My lord, although the people of Jiangyin are all loyal and righteous people, but after all, they are coerced by the east, and the army has attacked the city for seven days in the past, that is, there has been neither mutiny nor opening the city, if you want to rely on this to make the people in the city should be united inside and outside, I am afraid that ...... It's useless! ”

Li Ziyuan sneered in his heart. When Jiangyin was besieged, Zhang Huang said that their civil officials, didn't they all say that, didn't they all say that as long as the army arrived, the people of Jiangyin would surrender, but what was the result? Instead of surrendering, the Jiangyin soldiers in this city helped the Qing army defend the city for seven days.

"Wasted?"

Shaking his head, Zhu Mingzhong glanced at Jiangyin, and then his eyes narrowed into a thin slit.

"How can it be a useless attack, believe it or not, as long as we enter the city, those people will definitely fight back!"

"But, sir......"

Li Ziyuan looked at Zhu Mingzhong, who was full of confidence, and said.

"How can I get into the city?"

Just with our more than 1,000 people?

Since he was enlisted in the army for his life more than ten years ago, Li Ziyuan has also been experienced in a hundred battles for more than ten years, and he does not believe that with such a few people, he can defeat Jiangyin and this strong city.

"As long as you find a way, the world will ...... There is no city that cannot be attacked! ”

This sentence was full of confidence, but it changed in Li Ziyuan's ears, and he only had one thought in his heart - the premise was that there were enough people.

Not to mention anything else, if he can give him 100,000 troops, maybe it will be possible to take it in two days, but not necessarily, after all, Dongyu used hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for a full 81 days to conquer this fortified city.

Relying on fifteen hundred people, is it possible to take Jiangyin City?

"Let's dig a tunnel and blow the fuck!"

Zhu Mingzhong didn't think about it, so he came up with such an idea, after all, in many novels, the protagonist uses black powder to blast the siege technology, the coffin and the tunnel are simply invincible, and the defenders of the city are always helpless, and the city will be destroyed as soon as it explodes.

In fact, this method has been widely used in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Li Zicheng has used it in Kaifeng, but because the seal is not well sealed, so it has not succeeded, Zheng Chenggong has used it in Zhangzhou Mansion, because the measurement distance is not accurate, the tunnel has not been dug under the city wall, Zhang Xianzhong has used it in CD, and successfully exploded CD City.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, this kind of siege method of blasting and destroying the city wall in the gunpowder pit is called the "collapse method", which is a very common siege method, and almost all the generals who can be called famous have used it. It's just that some people succeed and some people fail.

For the "collapse method", even Li Ziyuan is no stranger.

"My lord, my subordinates will take you somewhere!"

Li Ziyuan didn't say anything, but directly invited Zhu Mingzhong to go outside Jiangyin City, in order to defend the city, the Qing army set fire to the entire Jiangyin Outer City, the entire Jiangyin Outer City was in ruins, but in this ruins, there were still some intact houses, came to one of the houses, and without waiting for Zhu Mingzhong to ask why he came here, he saw that there was a two-meter square puddle in the hall of this house.

"Linchuan, what is this?"

Looking at this puddle in surprise, Zhu Mingzhong asked rhetorically, but looking at the pile of mud in the house, he seemed to understand.

"Tunnels dug here before?"

"My lord, it's just June, when the water level is high, and this year's rain in the south of the Yangtze River is more than in previous years, digging three feet into the ground will not take an hour, and water will gush in the pit, and you can see water when you dig five feet into the ground, my lord, if you come to dig a tunnel?"

"Collapse method" in the Ming and Qing dynasties this is a very common means of siege, but by the terrain restrictions too much, groundwater level, moat, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the cave siege (that is, digging tunnels) this siege method has been gradually used in the war, after the invention of gunpowder, at the latest to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese have begun to use gunpowder to blast the siege, but the same as the cave siege, too many restrictions, so, a coffin to blow up his mother...... It's really not that easy. It can only be adapted to local conditions.
