Zhao Shuncheng patted his head and shouted, "I'm so stupid, thank you, teacher." ”

He took a few empty barrels, filled them with earth as heavy as gunpowder, attached a fuse about a step long, lit one, and threw it with all his might. The barrel flew out and fell down at thirty paces, and when he had finished throwing it, he ran to pick it up and shouted, "Four of the five are not extinguished, but one is extinguished." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "That's fine, what is extinguished can be ignited by others." There are also those that are not thrown farther, and it will be safer to be farther away. ”

Du Guangting stepped forward to pick up the wooden barrel and tried it, and it could be thrown to forty steps. He shouted: "Zhao Shuncheng, you are responsible for lighting the fire, and I am responsible for throwing it." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "After the first one is thrown away, immediately retreat, look at the power, be careful." ”

Zhao Shuncheng quickly made ten of the same explosives bags with his subordinates, and the artillery began to fire artillery again, bombarding the city head, and after making sure that there was no enemy on the city wall, the two walked to about forty steps away from the city gate, Zhao Shuncheng ran backwards after lighting the fire, and Du Guangting threw it vigorously, just thrown it in the city gate hole at the north gate, and also ran backwards.

More than a minute later, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and a small half of the city gate hole was blown up, and gravel flew over where Zhao Shuncheng and Du Guangting were originally standing.

Du Guangting said happily: "This effect is good, if it is used to defend the city, you can blow up a large piece." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "No wonder the Holy Lord asked the Weapons Bureau to make a flower bullet, and the power is really much stronger than that of the iron thallium." There are nine more, use them one by one, replace them and throw them, don't strain your hands. ”

Du Guangting said: "I can throw three more, and then replace them." ”

Zhang Zongling looked at his legs and sighed in frustration. Du Guangting threw three more explosive packets, blowing up the entire city gate hole.

Zhang Zongling was overjoyed and said: "Commander, you can charge!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "What's the hurry, now it should be Jiannu who is in a hurry, and we don't need to be in a hurry." The order was given, and the troops guarded their own territory, and did not give orders not to charge. The artillery destroyed the wall next to the city gate first, and then opened up a place. ”

Zhao Shuncheng asked, "Division commander, are you still losing the explosives bag?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Of course you lose it, it's best to throw it near the collapse." Put on the plate armor and watch out for the bow and arrows of Jiannu. ”

Cao Wenzhao stepped forward and lifted two explosives bags and said, "Zhao Shuncheng, you come and light the fire, throw two at a time and try it." ”

Sure enough, he was worthy of being a marksman, and the place where Cao Wenzhao's two explosives bags were thrown was right next to the collapse of the city gate hole, and he blew up part of the city wall.

Under the combined effect of artillery and explosives packs, the north gate of Haizhou became an open field about fifty paces wide. Lu Xiangsheng looked at the panic and fear on the faces of the rear Jin soldiers in the telescope, and ordered: "The artillery is pushed forward fifty paces, and the infantry is on alert, ready to deal with Jiannu's charge at any time." ”

When the artillery advanced, the Houjin army did not rush out, the artillery fired, and the Houjin army only made a corresponding contraction and did not resist.

At this time, in Haizhou City, Huang Taiji was discussing countermeasures with Yue Tuo and others. They didn't expect that the Ming army would have such powerful siege weapons that they didn't need to climb the city wall at all, but directly destroy the city wall.

Now that the city wall has been destroyed, many Houjin soldiers are so demoralized that they dare not fight at all. Huang Taiji knew that if this situation was not reversed, soon the Dajin soldiers would collapse without a fight.

Yue Tuo said: "Break through tonight, will it be a little hasty, and some materials in the city can't be taken away, if they are burned, the Ming army will know that we are going to break through." ”

Huang Taiji said: "The later we break through, the lower our morale will be. As for the Ming army knowing what we mean, don't you know if you don't burn them? Let's go tonight, you go first with the red flag, and we'll break it off. ”

Yue Tuo hurriedly said: "Eighth uncle, you follow us first." ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "If I go first, the white flag will really be over." At this time, the more afraid you are, the faster you will die. The Han people have a saying, put to death and then live, break through tonight, maybe you can still make some gains. ”

Yue Tuo had no choice but to say, "I'll accompany the eighth uncle to walk with me in the back." ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "Don't." Neither of you can fold here, you have to go first. Remember, we can't be big on our own, we have to rely on the Han to do it. ”

Yue Tuo has always been very supportive of Huang Taiji, and he agrees with some of his views, thinking that only this eighth uncle in the second generation of Houjin is a real understanding person. But it is impossible for him to say that the white flag will go first, and the red flag will be broken, because the hearts of the people in his flag will all be scattered. Therefore, he could only divide half of his white-armored soldiers to Huang Taiji, and instructed the leader of the white-armored soldiers to save the life of Sibeile no matter what.

On the side of the Guards, Lu Xiangsheng was holding a meeting of generals above the battalion commander. First of all, he said: "Jiannu will definitely break through tonight." If we can't see the enemy at night, the power of our firearms will be less, and if they don't leave tonight, I'm afraid they won't be able to go again. ”

Zhang Zongling said: "Commander, why don't you attack it directly, now the city walls are broken, and Jiannu has no geographical advantage." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "If you can solve it with weapons, try not to take the lives of soldiers, anyway, Jiannu is now locked up in the city, and they want to come out, so we can wait outside and give full play to our characteristics of good defense, so that we can kill more enemies with less damage to ourselves." ”

Zhang Zongling said again: "The power of firearms has decreased that night, what are we going to do?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "What should I do? Calling everyone here is to discuss what to do, or Brigadier Zhang, will you talk about it first? ”

Zhang Zongling said: "Light more torches and put them on the wall of the north gate, so that as soon as Jiannu breaks through, we can see it, and we can beat them with firearms." ”

Cao Wenzhao smiled: "This is a good way. But when you go to light a torch, don't you just become a target for Jiannu? Then you lit the torch, won't Jiannu send someone to extinguish it? ”

Everyone laughed, Zhang Zongling touched his head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

Du Guangting said: "We can plant mines in front, although there are not many of them, but it is better than nothing." ”

Zhang Zongling continued: "I remembered, we can sprinkle thistle terrestris on the side of the city wall, dig a deep ditch not far from the city wall, pile up the earth, and set up cannons and firearms. ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at him appreciatively and said: "If you think about it seriously, you can actually come up with a good way, sometimes you pat your head and don't think about it carefully at all, it's a little funny." ”
