Chapter 53: Making a Fortune
Sending seven gunpowder packets into the city gate and tying them together was a tactical move that was extremely simple and easily completed by the Ming army in the absence of machine-gun fire in modern warfare.
No one was shot by Jiannu, only a few people hung up the lottery, and they had feather arrows nailed to their bodies, and since their whole bodies were wrapped in iron armor, they should be fine, because no one fell off their horses.
Huang Han asked everyone to retreat seventy steps away and open their mouths wide, covering the ears of the war horses, of course, using cotton and cotton cloth to block the ears of the war horses.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Huang Han shot the feather arrows that were already burning and accurately hit the seven gunpowder packets that had been tied together, and there was a loud "boom" like thunder......
The explosion effect of more than 200 catties of black powder was really good, and the two city gates were blown away in an instant.
The quality of the city gate cave was not trampled on, but it also caused the few defenders on it to be disgraced.
The power of the explosion brought about by the shaking of the ground and the mountains were not covered, the enemy building at the west gate of Zunhua City was dusty, and the tiles fell straight down, and the Houjin army who lost their eyes, smashed their heads, and was temporarily deaf abounded.
"Kill slaves!" When the Ming army saw that the city gate was open, there was no need for Huang Han to give an attack order, and the soldiers were like crazy, and they all beat their horses and went straight to the city gate.
Seeing that the Ming army under his command was unorganized and undisciplined, a swarm of swarms rushed forward, Huang Han shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be impatient, at this time, a city gate has just been broken, and it is not time to rush to kill on horseback, and you can only enter the city until the gate of the urn city is also blown open." ”
"It's going to blow up!" The Ming army had just seen the earth shake, and realized that the consequences of not obeying the command might be very serious, so they controlled their excitement and patiently waited for Huang Han to blast again as quickly as possible.
Since the power of the last explosion was a bit wasted, the gate of the urn city was obviously not as strong as the gate of the outer city, and Huang Han was willing to use only three gunpowder packs to blow up the gate.
At this time, the Ming army attacking the south gate also made concerted efforts to use wooden cannons to break open the city gate, which had only blocked a small part.
Eager to enter Zunhua City, the Ming army saw that the city gate was knocked open, and suddenly cheered and thundered, everyone shouted and screamed to kill into the city, at this time, the Ming army judged that if there were two people, one by one was like an angry lion, even if it was a person, they dared to rush forward and greet Jiannu Bayala with a knife.
The Jiannu were busy blocking the city gate, so the gate of the urn city could not be closed, and the Ming army broke through the city gate too fast, and the momentum of the rush was fierce enough, so that when the Jiannu ran into the city, they had no time to close the gate of the urn city to give them time to escape.
The Ming army, full of fighting spirit, continued to play the fine style of running without death, they brandished knives and spears in a daze, and broke through the gate of the outer city and the gate of the urn city, and rushed to the inner street of the south gate of Zunhua in one go.
The news of the defeat of Jiannu spread, and the Han people who were coerced into preparing to take them to Liaodong as slaves rebelled, and the survivors in Zunhua City also launched.
The streets and alleys are full of "The Ming army has entered the city, and the brothers are killing Tartars to avenge their relatives!" "Don't let those flagmen escape! Stop them. "Quick, hide the dog Jiannu's horse." And so on.
Jiannu, who did not ride out of the city in time, had nowhere to hide, and was finally beaten to an inhuman shape, and the traitor Qiding, who was still powerful a few days ago, turned into street rats one by one.
Han people have good brains, and those who are traitors and traitors are no exception.
When many bannermen found that the situation was not good, they immediately threw away their knives, took off their horse coats, hid in alleys, put on Hanfu again, and spoke in the countryside in an attempt to get by.
The Han people who united to hunt down the traitors were also very smart, they shouted loudly, and asked everyone to take off their hats to clear the suspicion of traitors, this trick had an obvious effect, and the money rat tail made those flagmen show their feet.
Fan Wencheng is cunning and cunning, and he cherishes the life of a dog, he found that there was no possibility of defending the city and fled decisively, and there were more than 100 Jiannu and dozens of banners who also slipped away from the east gate of Zunhua.
Once upon a time, the Ming army was able to defeat Jiannu and attack the city? At this moment, all the soldiers of the Ming army were heroes, they were impassioned, and everyone issued "Kill slaves!" from the bottom of their hearts! The scream.
The roar of the whole people won the echo of tens of thousands of Han people, and developed to the point that the whole city reverberated "Kill slaves!" Under the concerted efforts of the soldiers and civilians in the city, the remnants of the Houjin army were quickly wiped out.
When the dust settled, all the Ming troops were happy, and at this time, a group of Ming troops with red cloth strips on their arms began to enforce the law.
"Everyone, pay attention, don't be greedy, everything seized will be returned to the public, and everyone will receive at least thirty taels of silver, which can be cashed in within three days." The cold-faced law enforcement team brandished Qi Dao and stared at everyone, constantly reminding.
The officers were also extremely cooperative, and they were sparing no effort to publicize at this time: "Brothers, everyone has made meritorious contributions, and they will get a reward immediately, and they can't be confused at this time, it's not cost-effective to be cut by the law enforcement team!" ”
The law enforcement team was in action, and many Ming soldiers followed with wheelbarrows, which were loaded with baskets, and from time to time soldiers threw gold and silver treasures into the baskets on the carts, and the happiness they received made everyone smile from ear to ear.
No one in Zunhua City should have property, because most of the people here are Jiannu who are ready to be brought back to Liaodong to be the existence of Aha.
Even if there were Han survivors in the city, they should have been robbed by Jiannu and made destitute, and if they found Han people with gold and silver treasures, these people would have to tell the ins and outs of the money.
The soldiers were given the task and began a large search of the city, and found that there were no weathered or well-dressed people, all of whom were arrested and interrogated, of course, appropriate torture was also possible, the purpose was to extract the property of the traitors.
If it is not a traitor, there should be no silver on the Han people, and a large amount of silver taels were found, which means that these people are fishing in troubled waters, and they deserve to be caught, beaten, and imprisoned!
Even the desperate Ming army, who worked hard to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, did not dare to hide and capture them privately, wouldn't these rescued preparatory Aha dare to stretch out their hands?
Seven or eight thousand Ming troops supervised each other's collection of precious metals, and everyone took the initiative to work, all of them were model workers who were not afraid of hardship and tiredness, and their efficiency was surprisingly high, and soon gold and silver treasures were piled up.
As recorded in history, Zunhua City was indeed a concentration of stolen goods for the Later Jin Army, with grain, livestock, carts, cloth, brocade and other materials, and gold and silver treasures were really seized with a value of no less than one million taels of silver.
Huang Han thought that the distribution of spoils should be timely to avoid long nights and dreams, because there were thousands of people left behind, and hundreds of people were killed during the siege of the city, and now it was necessary to give the 9,000 Ming army a reward for breaking Zunhua City.
He never thought of dealing with these eight battalions of rotten soldiers and rotten generals again, because in history, only a small number of people and horses in this team were killed, and most of them fled or surrendered to Jiannu, only Liu Zhilun, who was stunned and didn't leave, was finally killed by random arrows.
