45. Overturning a huge city is like uncovering a piece of paper

Later, most of the people who went through all this could not use the exact words to describe even what they had witnessed, because they didn't know what words to use to describe what they saw and what happened afterward, and what they saw was so terrible and amazing that they couldn't accept it, and completely subverted their worldview, so that in the beginning, everyone was stupid, and there was a vacuum on the battlefield.

Mei Guozhen later mentioned the scene at that time in his letter to Emperor Wanli, which only used eight words, but it perfectly reproduced that terrible scene - overturning the giant city, like revealing a piece of paper.

In most people's unclear and real memories, their initial feeling was a slight vibration, feeling that the earth was shaking, as if an earthquake, the Ming army was a little flustered, and the rebels on the city were even more panicked, and they knew very well what the earthquake meant to the rebels.

Then there was a faint roar, louder and louder, louder and louder, as the frequency of the vibration continued to increase, the sound became louder and louder, the whole earth was shaking, the whole vision was shaking, they even thought that there was a earth dragon rolling its body underground, and even the earth dragon would break out of the ground!

It wasn't the Earth Dragon that broke through the ground, but a large amount of gas and an even more violent roar.

"Boom ————————"

At that time, many people only had such a sound and a long roar in their ears, even if the cotton was blocked, but the too loud sound still frightened them, for fear that it would happen to their heads as if it was destroying the world, the white smoke gushed up from the ground, and the whole earth seemed to bulge from the bottom of the city wall, and that piece burst directly.

This amazing force knocked a section of the West City, a section of the city wall about twenty meters long, and the whole section of the city wall jumped like a wave, as if the plane shape suddenly became three-dimensional, and countless bricks and stones flew into the sky, and the main body of the city wall fell to the ground after it was broken, and the white smoke covered everything, of course, due to the violent air current, the smoke came and went quickly.

At the same time, countless bricks and stones fell from the sky to the ground like raindrops, its speed was so fast, the momentum was so fierce that countless people had never seen it, three layers of shields were penetrated, and there were even two layers of iron shields that were penetrated, and the remaining iron shield was deeply smashed down a hole.

The shield-wielding soldier's hand was broken, and several unlucky soldiers were hit directly by the masonry, some of them died on the spot, and some of them were physically crippled, although in small numbers.

The earth is still shaking, the gravel is still falling, the Ming army will hear screams from time to time, although well prepared, but everyone still underestimated the power of gunpowder to break the city, Xiao Ruxun will not forget that a fist-sized masonry smashed directly at his feet, deeply embedded in the ground, smashed out a deep gap, Xiao Ruxun imagined countless times, if the stone was a little bit off the angle, what would happen to him?

When Xiao Ruxun's vision appeared in the big mouth more than ten meters wide, his heart beat violently, he knew, he knew it at the first time, he succeeded, he tied his future and the future of the whole world to this blow, with this devastating blow, all this began to become clear.

At that time, there was a period of vacuum, and neither the rebels nor the Ming army moved in a vacuum.

Wei Xuezeng in the camp struggled to turn over, staggered to the outside of the tent, and looked at the scene like the end of the world, with old tears flowing.

Xiao Ruxun was the first to wake up, he knew, because Mei Guozhen was trembling and sobering up after him, but the first person to shout the slogan of rushing to kill was not Xiao Ruxun, but Mei Guozhen, who looked like a madman like a war maniac.

Xiao Ruxun still remembers that Mei Guozhen at that time, his eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty demon, all the Swen and Wenhua were thrown aside, and Mei Guozhen in armor was a military general, not a literati.

The elite of the three thousand Ming army, under the leadership of Mei Guozhen, forgot their anxiety and fear, and their desire for merit suppressed everything, and they roared and rushed into the gap.

Ma Gui, Xiao Ruhui, Li Yun, Dong Yikui, Zhao Wu, Niu Bingzhong and Li Ben, as if they had lost their minds, roared like mad demons and rushed into the city with their own soldiers and horses, and then, the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming army camp also roared into the gap and began to hunt the rebels frantically.

The rebels were doomed from that moment on, and most of the rebels who had been robbed of their spirit by gunpowder did not even dare to resist, slumped on the ground waiting to be beheaded by the fierce Ming army.

The Ningxia Rebellion subsided.

The Battle of Ningxia, which officially broke out on February 18 of Wanli, ended in the afternoon of April 22, 20th year of Wanli, totaling two months and four days, which was more than six months shorter than the original historical process, greatly reducing the manpower and material resources consumed by the Ming army in the original historical process, and the silver used up in the entire counterinsurgency process was only one-third of the original historical process.

The main credit belongs to Xiao Ruxun, who dedicated the strategy of blasting the city wall with gunpowder and personally presided over it from beginning to end, he is a well-deserved first hero, and the first hero recognized by everyone without any objections.

Ye Mengxiong wrote a recital that clearly asked for credit for Xiao Ruxun, mentioning that if Xiao Ruxun had not offered the "strategy of gunpowder to break the city", he would have offered the strategy of "storing water to irrigate the city", which would take longer, suffer greater losses, and have more variables, so Xiao Ruxun's work "should be heard by heaven".

Of course, Xiao Ruxun's credit is not only this, he entered the city with the second wave of troops after the first wave of troops, and after leading the troops into the city, he killed the main force of the rebels with heavy losses in the direction of the city gate, at this time, due to the proximity to the blasting point, the death of a large number of rebels gathered in the southern city was very tragic, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and there are many people who bleed to death - the explosion was too loud, and they were shocked to death.

Bi Bai didn't die, but it was almost there, when Xiao Ruxun led the team to capture the tattered city gate, a tattered figure appeared in front of the army, laughing wildly, with his hair scattered, like a mad demon.

At that time, someone immediately pointed out that this was the rebel commander, the rebel leader Bibai, Xiao Ruxun didn't say a word, picked up the bird gun and shot the obviously delirious rebel commander Bibai, Bibai was broken heart and died, Xiao Ruxun fired three shots at his corpse, and finally cut off his head with his own hands.

Bi Chengen was hacked to death by Ma Gui, he did not die in the blast, but his left leg was completely shattered by a piece of masonry, and when Ma Gui, who was killed like a bloody man, found it, he was still crying, Ma Gui slashed eighteen times, and finally cut off his head.

Bi Chengpet was shot indiscriminately and killed, and the credit was divided equally among ten people.

Tu Wenxiu was killed by Niu Bingzhong, he could have been captured alive, he was not affected by the blasting, his army was the most complete, of course, it was useless, he was defeated by Niu Bingzhong's department, and the rest of the troops scattered and fled, this guy was captured alive, but this guy actually knocked over Niu Bingzhong and wanted to run, and Niu Bingzhong stabbed him deeply into the neck with a knife and died on the spot.

Zhou Guozhu is the saddest, he was hacked to death by Mei Guozhen, a soldier was actually killed with a sword by a blood-stained scribe robe, a red-eyed literati, and then beheaded, which can be regarded as a strange among martial artists......
