Faced with such a situation, Xiao Ruxun probably guessed the firm belief of the defenders in the city to defend the city, so he mobilized 50 vehicles and cannons to bombard the city wall of Ningxia with solid bullets outside the range of the rain of arrows, and then bombarded the head of the city of Ningxia with flowering shells, and the city wall was in tatters, and the rebels suffered many casualties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the thickness of the city wall of Ningxia is beyond Xiao Ruxun's imagination, and the flowering bullet cannot destroy it at all, whether it is the Franc machine gun or the Ye Gong Shen gun, the solid bullet can only lay a hole, and it cannot cause actual damage at all and facilitate the siege.

And soon, the rebels also pulled more than a dozen Francophone guns from the city and fired at the Ming army, the Ming army lost two guns and several gunners, Xiao Ruxun ordered to retreat, no longer feint.

Ma Gui was very unhappy with the failure of the feint, and when he saw Xiao Ruxun coming back, he pointed to the city and scolded: "The city was originally used to guard against capture, but now it is used to guard against the Ming army!" How abominable are traitors! It's so at me! ”

Xiao Ruxun sat in front of the desk and poured himself a cup of tea, tore off a piece of the mutton that was being roasted, and ate it happily.

Ma Gui couldn't hold back his face, with a look of chagrin and depression.

"Brother Ji Xin! Why are you so stable!? If we can't conquer the city, we won't be able to eat good fruit! ”

Xiao Ruxun gnawed on the mutton comfortably, then tore off a leg of mutton and handed it to Ma Gui: "Eat first, eat enough and then say, people are iron and rice are steel, no matter how strong a person is, he also has to eat and rest, and he can't do anything without eating or resting." ”

Ma Gui took the leg of mutton depressedly, and was about to send it to his mouth, when his eyes suddenly widened: "You mean, we besiege but not attack, wait for the rebels in the city to run out of food, and then we will win without a fight?" ”

Xiao Ruxun raised his head and looked at Ma Gui in surprise, Ma Gui looked at Xiao Ruxun's surprised eyes and thought that he had guessed correctly, and was about to boast, when Xiao Ruxun changed to a look of contempt: "No, I'm just hungry, aren't you hungry?" Besides, do you know how much food the rebels in the city have? How long is enough to eat? They took it on the spot, we transported it, and the 40,000 soldiers ate the horses, and if the rebels could hold out for a year, would we have to besiege it for another year? Aren't you afraid that the rebels will kill the inhabitants of the city to eat? ”

Ma Gui became even more depressed when he heard this, stopped talking, buried his head in gnawing on the mutton, and gnawed so fiercely that he probably regarded this mutton as the meat of Bibai.

Xiao Ruxun smiled, looked at the mutton in his hand, and thought about it - a strong attack will definitely not work, if the 40,000 Ming army dies, it may not be able to take Ningxia City, the loss is too great, even if Ningxia City is taken, it cannot be regarded as a great achievement, it is not cost-effective.

It is not possible to besiege without attacking, and the emperor will never accept it.

Outwit, outwitting, how to outwit? I can think of a capable person like Wei Xuezeng, who can also think of it, persuasion, separation, internal and external cooperation and other means have all been used, without exception, they were all recognized by Bibai and Liu Dongyang at the peak of their IQ, and they took their own humiliation, and they didn't succeed until half a year later, when the rebel spirit was on the verge of collapse, but it was too late.

Flooding, to build an embankment first, store water, wait for the last month, and then get it, but also to prevent the rebels from going out of the city to counterattack, after a long time, variables, what bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods are going to jump out, Emperor Wanli's temperament is not unknown to everyone, although Ye Mengxiong and Li Rusong did that, but Xiao Ruxun does not plan to wait until they come to share their own credit.

Firearms siege, the strength of the city is too high, the 40,000 Ming army is facing almost one of the strongest dozen cities in the entire Ming Kingdom, you can take the howitzer of the early twentieth century, the current Ming army's main battle artillery Franc machine gun does not have so much kinetic energy to destroy the city wall, solid bullets are the same, even if you replace it with a thousand catties of iron cannon general cannon, it is useless!

Set fire to the city and bring down the walls? It is estimated that you can't get to the bottom of the city wall without paying 10,000 troops, and with this terrifying long-range attack strength, I don't know how many ordnance materials there are in the arsenal of Ningxia City!

Digging tunnels to siege the city? This is a very common conventional method, and it is estimated that people also have precautions, so it is good to listen to the urn all the time.

Why do you think that you are not facing a city, but a turtle with a thorn on its back?

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruxun caught a glimpse of the firewood that was burning hotly, and the dancing flames were scurrying and running...... Suddenly, he thought of something and sat up straight.

Ma Gui squinted his eyes and glanced at Xiao Ruxun, and muttered, "What are you doing?" Do you think that everyone in your family is beautiful, or do you think about how to break the city? ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at Ma Gui in a daze, smiled bitterly for a long time, sighed at the size of his brain, and then said: "I really thought about how to break the city, but, in this way, I don't know how many innocent people will suffer because of this, after the war, we are afraid that it will cost a lot of money, but if this law is successful, the city will be broken within a month, and there will not be too many dead and injured soldiers......

Ma Gui was stunned for a moment, and he didn't care if the leg of mutton fell to the ground, and immediately stepped forward and said excitedly: "Say, say it quickly!" Nothing is more important than these traitors! As long as we can pacify the rebels, we can accept anything! ”

"Is it acceptable to blow up a section of the wall of Ningxia City?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Ma Gui with a smile, Ma Gui blinked, then straightened up, looked elsewhere, looked at Xiao Ruxun again, pointed to himself and pointed to the sky outside, and said in an uncertain tone with a blank look: "Blow up the city wall?" You mean, blow up the walls? Ningxia city wall? Just that thick city wall that can't even hit a solid bullet? ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Do you think, if we attack strongly, we can only choose the city gate, but there is an urn city at the city gate, and there are three gates in it, and there is one more to capture, and it is a siege on three sides, are we enough people to eat for the rebels?" When the rebels learn from my strategy in Pingyu City and lure us in, then will we go to our deaths? Or to die? Or to die? ”

Ma Gui stretched out three fingers and folded his fingers with a blank expression: "Why don't I seem to understand what you're talking about?" We're colleagues, right? It's a robe, right? Why don't I understand what you're saying? ”

Xiao Ruxun stretched out two fingers: "Don't think too much, it's normal that you don't understand, as long as Wei Zhitai can understand, I think I need about two hundred warriors and twenty thousand catties of gunpowder." ”

Half an hour later, when Xiao Ruxun, who had eaten and drunk enough, was thinking about life with a blank look on Ma Gui's face, he took advantage of the night to cross the east side of Ningxia City, and came to Wei Xuezeng's camp, a large camp that stretched for several miles.

After the end of the world, Xiao Ruxun had a very deep study of the use of gunpowder, and read through the history books, especially in the late Ming and late Qing dynasties when gunpowder weapons were popular.

Later, from the abandoned CD City Library, Xiao Ruxun obtained a history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which mentioned a special method used by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Army when attacking the Jiangnan Jiancheng garrisoned by the Qing army.
