"Let's not talk about the night attack knocking out the enemy's artillery, there is one more thing now, more important than these things!" Amin's old eyes widened and said, "That is, we must remove the gunpowder from the powder magazine immediately!" You see, there's already a fire over there! ”

Everyone looked in the direction Amin was pointing, but they saw a flame rising into the air somewhere on the other side. Apparently, this was caused by the shelling of the Model Army.

But everyone was relieved - the powder magazine was not in that direction. And other warehouses, even if they are ignited, the fire will not burn too much all at once, and each warehouse has fire prevention preparations, so the fire should still be able to be controlled.

"What kind of warehouse is on fire? Go check it out. Huang Taiji said with a frown.

One of the guards hurried over, and after a short time he came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the granary is on fire, and a grain stack has been set on fire. The warehouse guards are already fighting the fire, and there should be no major incident. ”

Indeed, nothing big happened. Because you can see from this side, the flames over there are no longer visible, only some residual smoke is still rising.

"Quick, get the gunpowder out!" Huang Taiji said, "Spread it out first, move it to each flag, and then arrange and place each flag by itself." ”

As he spoke, two more shells went in. One of the two shells struck the city wall with a loud bang, shaking the entire wall, and the other hit a barracks in the city.

Huang Taiji's face became even more gloomy, in fact, as long as this shell was a little more off, it could directly hit the gunpowder warehouse.

"From this shot to the next shot, it takes about half an hour. Can you transfer all the gunpowder in half an hour? Huang Taiji asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of gunpowder in the powder magazine, and the streets and alleys leading there are narrow, and there are many people who go there, but they will block it themselves. Half an hour, no matter what, there is no way to transfer all the gunpowder. Sonny stepped forward and replied.

"Is there anything else to do?" Huang Tai Ji Road.

"Your Majesty," Hong Chengchou stood up and knelt down, "you can let the soldiers pour water on the gunpowder first, so that even if you are hit, it will not explode all at once." When you move out, you can slowly dry it and re-crush it, and you can use it again. ”

Huang Taiji thought for a moment and asked again: "Can the existing gunpowder on the gun emplacements of other defense lines support a battle?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, each gun position has gunpowder that can support a battle." Sonny replied.

"Okay, then let people soak the gunpowder in water immediately, quickly!" Huang Taiji said loudly.

"Watering and dispersing gunpowder should be done simultaneously, and it should be done immediately." Amin also said loudly.

Sonny glanced at Amin, then turned his glasses and secretly glanced at Huang Taiji, and saw that Huang Taiji was also looking at Amin.

"Just do as Big Baylor says." Huang Taiji waved his hand.

Sonny let out a "snort" and went down with a few of the guards.

……

By this time, it was already afternoon, and the fuel on the hot air balloon was almost exhausted. Lookout Lu Hanchen waved his flag downwards and prepared to land slowly.

The people below began to turn the winch, the tethering cord of the hot air balloon gradually tightened, and the height of the hot air balloon began to gradually decrease. If it is normal, it will take about half an hour for the hot air balloon to land safely. Lu Hanchen also took advantage of this time to pack up the things around him, his matter today is about to end, and he can go back to rest.

Before putting the telescope away, Lu Hanchen lifted it up again and looked at the Manchu Qing side, and then he was stunned for a moment. After a few moments, he put down his binoculars, picked up the red and white flag that he had already put away, and shook it downward.

However, at this time, because the hot air balloon was already being recovered, the messenger in charge of communicating with the hot air balloon also seemed to be a little absent-minded, he just looked at the two giant cannons, so he didn't see Lu Hanchen's behavior waving the flag at the first time.

Lu Hanchen waved the flag for a while, and when he saw that there was no response below, he put down the small flag again, pulled out a firearm from his waist, pulled the nose of the machine, and shot with a bang.

The sound of gunfire woke the herald at once, and he looked up, raised his binoculars, and saw the flag waving on the hot air balloon again.

"If there is an enemy, don't collect the rope anymore!" The herald shouted.

The rotating winch stopped, and the herald looked at the banner on it, and continued to translate the contents: "The enemy army suddenly concentrated in the Bingchou area (the model army drew a simple map of the Qing army's fortress and divided the fortress into several areas with the coordinates of the heavenly and earthly branches), and they all held buckets and basins, as if they were fighting fires, but there was no fire in the area. Others left with bags on their shoulders, and the observation post, suspecting that this was an enemy powder magazine, advised the artillery to fire immediately into the area. ”

This information was immediately sent to the battery, and the artillery immediately began to aim. However, it will take some time for these two guns to be ready for firing. After another quarter of an hour or so, the two guns fired a salvo at the "Chou" area.

After a while, Lu Hanchen on the hot air balloon sent back: "One shot hit, one shot fell into the C area, and the hit shot should have caused many casualties, but no fire was seen." Enemy forces are still gathering in this area".

Of course, this information was also sent to Zheng Sen, and Zheng Sen immediately mobilized the main generals for a meeting. The staff officers first informed everyone about the relevant information. Then Zheng Sen spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy's actions in the Bingchou area under the shelling of our army are extremely suspicious. We suspect that the enemy's arsenal is in this area, and the reason why the enemy is operating in this area with buckets and basins is that they are not being shelled, what are they doing? There are still many enemy troops who have left the area with sacks on their backs, and what are they carrying? ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Sen looked at the others with a smile.

"They're watering gunpowder!" Yu Xin raised his hand and said, "They are afraid that we will hit us with a bang, and they will all send them to the west with a bang." ”

"Division Commander Yu felt that the enemy was soaking gunpowder in case it was hit by our artillery and exploded. Do you agree with that? Zheng Sen asked.

"Shizi, I think that's it." Gan Hui agreed.

"I think that's what I think." Zhang Ying also agreed.

Zheng Sen looked around at the generals, and then nodded: "Since everyone sees it this way, then let's think about how to use this information today......

"Shizi, there will be an idea ...... the end," Zhang Ying raised his hand and said.
