In fact, the hole dug by the revolutionary army is barely enough to fit into a coffin. However, according to the results of the revolutionary army's own experiments on the city wall of Zhongmu County, if you just dig a hole that can just be stuffed into the coffin, although it can explode after igniting it, although it can also blow up a big hole in the city wall, but the power is not enough to directly tear down the entire city wall. If you want to ensure this effect, you have to dig the hole deeper, all the way to the middle of the wall, preferably a turn, and then stuff the coffin full of gunpowder into it, and then block the corner with earth and stones, and then detonate it, so that you can exert more power, and one guy will blow up the whole section of the wall. So now, the soldiers of the revolutionary army still need to dig more into it.

The city wall of Kaifeng is built with rammed triple soil, which is almost a kind of ancient concrete, which is very strong. However, in Huang Zide's army, there are also many characters from the three sects and nine ranks, including a tomb robber named Han Li. Relying on digging ancient tombs or something, Han Li's small life was very good for a while. However, after the world gradually became chaotic, the prices of those Ming artifacts taken out of the ancient tomb also began to fall, and Han Li was used to living a lavish life again, and he didn't have much money saved before, so this day became tighter and tighter. In order to make money, Han Li and his group of brothers had no choice but to go down to the ancient tombs that they had not dared to go down before. As the saying goes, if you walk at night for a long time, you will meet ghosts. In the next Eastern Jin Dynasty tomb (after they went in, they found out that it was the tomb of the famous "Demon Dao" Sun En in the Eastern Jin Dynasty), Han Lixiong and the others really encountered the legendary big zongzi, and only Han Li escaped from the five people who entered. It's just that although Han Li escaped, he still seemed to be injured by the vicious curse in this ancient tomb, and as soon as he slept, he would dream that he was being chased and killed by evil spirits. Moreover, every time in the dream, the evil ghost was even more terrifying, and later, where the evil ghost's claws had been scratched in the dream, after waking up from the dream, Han Li could actually see the cyan claw marks there. Han Li knew that something was wrong.

So Han Lixian ran to the monk's temple to take refuge, and he found a famous local monk named Zhiyuan, and recited scriptures to himself to ward off evil spirits. Then that night, Han Li dreamed of that evil ghost again and came to chase and kill him, and that Zhiyuan monk suddenly appeared in his dream and intercepted the evil ghost, and then Han Li woke up. I still thought in my heart: "Master Zhiyuan is really a virtuous monk. However, after dawn the next day, he got the news that the monk Zhiyuan had passed away. And he also had a cyan paw print on his throat.

When Han Li learned the news, he was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot. However, in a panic, he thought of an old saying, which was: "Ghosts are afraid of the wicked." Han Li thought, if there is chaos today, there are many wicked people, but if you want to talk about the most evil villain, Han Li thinks that it should be a rebel rogue. Come to think of it, if you blend in with this rebellious rogue, no matter how powerful the evil ghost is, can you not be afraid of such a wicked person? At that time, Huang Zide's rebel army was not far away, and Han Li went to vote for Huang Zide.

To say that Han Li's move could be regarded as a crooked attack. Where the army is, there is naturally a surging evil spirit. Such a place is a real immortal, and it is not easy to come up with any tricks, let alone evil ghosts and the like? Therefore, since Han Li entered the army, this evil ghost pursuit and killing has not happened at all, and Han Li has made up his mind to survive in this army for the rest of his life.

If you want to say that Han Li is also a skilled figure in the army, this is not to say that Huang Zide gave him a golden lieutenant or something, and then asked him to dig a grave to raise military salaries. Huang Zide rarely stopped in one place for too long, and he didn't have time for Han Li to do such a thing. However, Han Li was proficient in all kinds of earthwork, which naturally came in handy in the army, especially when it was siege.

Nowadays, it is Han Li's old job to dig the rammed earth in the city wall, because when he robs tombs and robs holes, he will basically encounter thick rammed earth. Digging up rammed earth is almost the most basic skill necessary for tomb robbing. Han Li, who was already planning to survive in the army now, naturally wouldn't hide his secrets in such a trivial matter. With his teaching, coupled with a ready-made training ground such as the Zhongmu City Wall, the skills of the sappers of the revolutionary army have improved very quickly, so their digging speed is actually faster than Chen Yongshou estimated.

By the early morning of the fourth day, after a night and a day's work, the excavation was almost complete, and a coffin was sent into the cave where it had been dug, and a long rope of fire was drawn out with a bamboo tube. As soon as the morning fog cleared, a large group of revolutionary troops reappeared near that section of the city wall.

This move of the revolutionary army naturally attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, but after just guarding the night, Chen Yongshou, who had only gone back to sleep before dawn, had not had time to sleep peacefully, so he was woken up by his own soldiers, hurriedly put on armor, and rushed over.

While Chen Yongshou was rushing to that section of the city wall, one of his personal guards introduced the situation to him: "Dashuai, the thief army has more than 10,000 people, and the banner of yellow thieves has been raised!" ”

"Raised the banner of the yellow thief?" Chen Yongshou was taken aback, "The yellow thief is also here?" ”

"I saw a man from afar, wearing a felt hat and riding a horse, which looked a bit like the one described in the portrait, and everyone couldn't see it clearly from a distance." The guard replied.

Hearing this, although it is not clear what the thief army is doing, but Huang Zide has personally played, then they will definitely make a big move. So Chen Yongshou hurriedly quickened his pace. But at this moment, he suddenly felt the city wall under his feet shake suddenly, like a boat in the waves, Chen Yongshou's feet slipped, and he sat down on the city wall at once. Then a loud bang reached his ears.

"What? The cannon blew up? Chen Yongshou thought, and at the same time looked around, but saw that there was smoke and dust all around, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and other than that, he couldn't hear anything.

At this time, from the smoke and dust, something rained down and crackled on the ground. It's like a hailstorm. Chen Yongshou's personal guard also fell just now, and at this time he had already climbed up and was stretching out his hand to help Chen Yongshou up, but he didn't want to suddenly fall a city brick from the smoke and dust, and smashed it directly on his head, and then smashed him on Chen Yongshou's body.

Chen Yongshou blankly pushed away the corpse of the guard who was pressing on him, held the female wall next to him with one hand, and stood up tremblingly. At this time, the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and Chen Yongshou looked ahead, but saw that a large section of the city wall five or six zhang wide in front of him, as well as the soldiers standing on that section of the city wall, had disappeared.

Fortunately, in order to avoid being injured by the earth and rocks flying up in the explosion, the thieves were still far away from the city wall. And the smoke and dust have not yet dissipated, and they have not seen the results of the blasting, so they did not immediately charge, but now that the city wall has fallen such a large part, as long as the thief army charges, who can stop them from rushing into Kaifeng City?

Fortunately, a few days ago, the thief army has been attacking this end of the city wall, so on both sides of this section of the wall, some reserves have been arranged. However, in the explosion just now, these reserves have also been affected to a certain extent, and now they are also in chaos. Chen Yongshou held on to the female wall and gasped, and the buzzing sound in his ears gradually became smaller, and he was gradually able to stand firmly. He shouted loudly, and gathered the reserves to fight the rushing thief army.

Chen Yongshou wasted a lot of effort to finally organize a team of several hundred people, but at this time, more than 10,000 "thief troops" were already approaching the gap.

"That's it, I'm going to die here today." Looking at the approaching "thief army", Chen Yongshou couldn't help but think like this.

Along the slope created by the explosion, the "thief army" rushed up with shields held high. And the "thief chief", who looked like he might be a "yellow thief", also approached the city wall on horseback.

"Shoot the arrows!" Chen Yongshou shouted.

The soldiers shot their arrows indiscriminately. However, because of the explosion just now, many people's cochlear vestibule was severely concussed, which greatly reduced their sense of balance and coordination.

However, from the side of the thief army, an exclamation suddenly sounded: "The marshal has been shot, the marshal has been shot!" ”

The "thief army" that was originally rushing forward all stopped, turned their heads and looked back. I saw that "Huang Zide" on a war horse was covering his chest with his hand at this time - there was a long feather arrow stuck there. Then "Huang Zide" shook his horse and fell headlong.

"Huang Zide is dead!" Chen Yongshou, who was blessed to the heart, suddenly shouted. The officers and soldiers next to him also shouted. The thieves who had already rushed forward looked behind them suspiciously, and when they saw that the group behind them began to retreat, and then the sound of gongs came from behind, so they immediately turned around and fled.

Chen Yongshou had few people, and he was not in a good state, so he didn't dare to pursue at this time, and watched the enemy retreat, and disappeared after a while.

At this time, Gao Gaoping also heard the news and rushed over. Seeing the big gap in the wall, he gasped, and was almost speechless in astonishment. After a long while, he said: "More than 10,000 thieves, such a big opening, General Chen relied on so many hundreds of people to defeat them all?" ”

"The thief leader Huang Zide personally supervised the battle, but he didn't know who was shot by an arrow, fell off the horse, and his life and death were unknown. That's why the thieves retreated. Chen Yongshou replied simply.

"I don't know which strong man shot the yellow thief?" Gao Gaoping asked.

However, no one could tell who shot Huang Zide. Gao Gao Ping finally made a decision: "Since everyone can't figure out who shot the yellow thief, it must have been shot by Mr. Chen, because Mr. Chen's archery skills are the best." ”

Everyone agreed with this judgment very much, although everyone did not necessarily think that Chen Yongshou's archery skills were the best, but everyone thought that this judgment was correct, because among the people present at the time. Chen Yongshou's official is the largest. Just as in the army of later generations, whoever has the greatest official will have the most accurate table, and in my Dazhao, whoever has the greatest official will have the most accurate arrow.
