Chapter 61: The Trap

Wu Xiang because he was in the main city of Shanhaiguan, he didn't know the situation on Luo Li's side, and both sides were fighting lively, so Luo Li didn't tell him why he gave up Xiluo City, when he saw the Jiannu army swarming into Xiluo City, Wu Xiang couldn't help but be shocked, originally he still had great confidence in the Dazhong Army, thinking that they could hold Xiluo City, but when he saw that Xiluo City was captured by Jiannu, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in the Dazhong Army.

Seeing that the Dazhong Army was in the vicinity of Xiluo City, facing the onslaught of Jiannu, although the soldiers suffered a lot of losses, but in his opinion, with the combat strength of the Dazhong Army, it was not yet to the time when they could not hold on, after all, they still had a lot of men and horses to dispatch in other places, why did they give up Xiluo City at this time in the afternoon? In this era of big battles, under normal circumstances, even if there are very few night battles, because of the difficulties in communication and command, night battles are very easy to cause chaos, and the army that has not undergone sufficient night combat training will never dare to launch a night battle easily, even if it is on the Jiannu side, this is also the case, so in Wu Xiang's view, as long as the Dazhong army holds on to Xiluo City until after dark, Jiannu can only order to collect troops and send people to repair Xiluo City at night, so even if Jiannu comes again tomorrow, it can also persevere.

But he didn't think that the Dazhong Army gave up holding on at this time and withdrew from Xiluo City, so he hurriedly sent someone to Yan Chongxi to ask why he did this (Yan Chongxi was injured and did not notify Wu Xiang in time, for fear of affecting the morale of the old Ming army under Wu Xiang), and asked people to persuade Yan Chongxi to quickly launch a counterattack, taking advantage of Jiannu's unstable foothold, to recapture Xiluo City, otherwise Xiluo City will be lost, and the entire Shanhaiguan defense system may collapse, in that case, the prospects of this battle will not be good, Even Wu Xiang asked his subordinates to directly propose that if it really didn't work, he could draw some elite soldiers from Shanhaiguan to help Yan Chongxi recapture Xiluo City.

Just when Wu Xiang was so anxious that he even wanted to gather a group of generals under his command to go out of the customs to unite with the Dazhong Army and launch a counterattack to recapture Xiluo City, Wu Xiang felt a sudden shock under his feet, so he immediately looked in the direction of Xiluo City.

After Li Shutai and Wu Shoujin captured Xiluo City, they both breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly transferred a large number of troops into Xiluo City, first firmly controlling Xiluo City, so as not to launch a counterattack by the defenders and drive them out of the city again, and at the same time ordered the soldiers under their command to go to the back to drag the cannon in and erect the city wall to strengthen the garrison.

Wu Shoujin and Li Shutai glanced at the city slightly, and they both felt a little wrong, the big Chinese army didn't seem to be in a hurry, only a few scrapped guns were lost in the city, and other cannons were also taken away, and the other one was that they found that when the defenders in the city fled, they were a little too calm, and they didn't even drop a wounded soldier, but just dropped a few corpses of the defenders, and there were not many materials in the city, only some horse material was left and was not taken away, But it was also burned by them, this situation is a bit wrong, either the defenders are ready to retreat and have voluntarily abandoned here, or the defenders are already very short of supplies, but this is a bit unreasonable.

So both of them thought that the defenders should have seen that they were attacking too fiercely, so they took the initiative to give up resistance, giving up the ruined Cilo City, after a day of fierce fighting, their brains have always maintained a high degree of tension, and now that Cilo City has been taken, they are a little lax, and they feel a little dizzy in their brains, although they don't think something is right, but neither of them thinks deeper.

So they continued to increase their troops in the city, strengthening the garrison there, and did not find any more suspicious things, nor did they think too much about it.

It wasn't until a large number of Jiannu soldiers entered the city and cleaned up the battlefield in the city that some soldiers found some problems in the city, so someone came to Wu Shoujin to report that some gunpowder and some unnamed things were found in the ruins and underground in the city.

Wu Shoujin walked to the side of an uncovered pit and looked down, but after this look, his scalp immediately became numb, and he was so startled that he retreated again and again, and shouted: "Quick! Get out of the city! This is a trap for the thieves! Evacuate! ”

Because what he saw was a jar, and the thing connected by the bamboo pipe and the bamboo pipe with a twist of medicine, what was in it, many people didn't know, but it was estimated that it should not be gold and silver treasures, others didn't know, but Wu Shoujin seemed to remember one thing, this thing he had seen when he was a soldier for the Ming Dynasty, this thing is called a mine, once it is detonated, within a radius of ten zhang, there will be no people and animals, he only saw one, God knows how many of these things were buried in the city before the defenders retreated, and when he thought of all the unreasonable things he saw after entering the city, he panicked at once, and the pigtail of the money rat tail on the back of his head almost stood up in shock.

In a hurry, Wu Shoujin rushed towards the gap in the north gate, but at this time, at least thousands of Jiannu soldiers had poured into Xiluo City, and they were scurrying around the city in a hurry, not realizing the danger at all.

But Wu Shoujin was still a little slower, and at this time, wisps of green smoke suddenly began to rise from the ground or among the ruins in various parts of the city, and after a while, a series of violent explosions began to occur in the underground and even on the city walls.

At this time, a lot of Jiannu soldiers poured into the city, and the explosion point was almost in their crowd, and every explosion set off a large cloud of flame and smoke, lifting countless earth and stones into the air, accompanied by some Jiannu soldiers at the explosion point, they were also swept up by such a violent explosion, and the stumps and broken arms were waved everywhere.

At this time, Xiluo City is lively, and the explosions are one after another, how did the Jiannu army know that this kind of thing would happen at this time! Caught off guard, they were blown up all over the place, and those who did not die were bumped around in the city like headless flies, and when the next explosion sounded, more Jiannu soldiers were also overturned, even if they were not killed, there were many Jiannu soldiers who were shocked by the violent explosion nearby.

Pity these Jiannu soldiers, the vast majority of them have no chance to escape from Xiluo City in such an explosion, and in the blink of an eye, the explosions are continuous, and the miserable howls of countless Jiannu soldiers are heard in the city.

After all, Wu Shoujin ran a little faster, when he just rushed through a pass, there was a shocking explosion behind him, Wu Shoujin felt as if he was pushed by a giant hand, and he fell out of the gap, but a few attendants who followed him were not so good, and they were lifted up at once, and after landing, they saw that they were either broken in their stomachs, or missing arms and legs, even if they were not missing any parts, but they were lying on the ground and vomited blood, obviously their internal organs were damaged, it seems that it can't be saved.

Even Li Shutai was not able to escape from Xiluo City, he was blown to pieces on the spot, and his body was blown to pieces, and there was nowhere to find it! Although Wu Shoujin was able to escape, he was also seriously injured and suffered a severe shock to his abdomen, but his Red Banner Meler Zhangjing Ma Guanghui died in Xiluo City.

Luo Li watched the flames and smoke rising from Xiluo City from a distance, listened to a series of violent explosions, shook his head and smashed his mouth, made a sad expression, and said funny: "Alas! O iniquity! How many Tartars are going to be killed! Iniquity! Tell me, this engineer battalion is too ruthless! At this time, half of the gunpowder and mines that Lao Tzu finally brought were consumed, how much does it cost! You say, don't you? Isn't it too cheap to spend so much money and blow up these Tartar soldiers? You can't do that next time, just let it go! ”

The generals who followed him looked at the gunpowder smoke in Xiluo City one by one, listened to the violent explosions coming from the city, and all of them laughed toothlessly, and heard Luo Li, the main general, feel such an unorthodox emotion, so they laughed together.

Luo Li stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Xu Yixian beside him again, but Xu Yixian learned to be obedient this time, and jumped out suddenly, so that Luo Li's hand fell on the vacancy, Luo Li withdrew his hand and looked at Xu Yixian, and said with a smile: "This credit should be credited to Mr. Xu, this Mr. Xu is a bad guy, brothers should be careful in the future!" This time, Mr. Xu killed how many Jiannu Tartars! Ha ha! When you go back to celebrate, the big guy has to pay a few more toasts to Mr. Xu! ”

After saying that, Luo Li listened to the explosion in Xiluo City and gradually decreased, but Jiannu's screams did not decrease much, so he pulled out his waist knife, raised it high in the air, and tore his loud voice and howled: "Brothers! Let's get back what we lost, Ciro City is still ours! Kill slaves! ……”

Countless large and medium-sized soldiers and generals gathered in the south of Xiluo City raised their arms and shouted: "Kill slaves......

So under the leadership of Luo Li, he immediately rushed back to Xiluo City like a tide......
