Accidents always happen again and again, and the Ming army did not give up digging tunnels, but lit lanterns and worked overnight, and the more energetic they became.

Although Gao Jinku was puzzled by this, in line with the principle of leniency for the enemy, he also mobilized young men to dig canals and ponds on the inner side of the city wall, made preparations in advance, buried a large vat every 300 steps, and sent thin soldiers to squat in the vat to listen to the movements underground.

After arranging all these tasks, he ordered the guards on duty at night to be on guard, and went back to sleep in a down-to-earth manner...... At the moment of the great enemy, the soldiers of the Green Battalion were originally a little nervous, but they were all much calmer when they saw that the main general was so calm.

The night was uneventful.

At dawn the next morning, the Ming army launched a surprise attack, carrying sacks full of dirt, filling in the trenches outside the city, and then began to clear the barricades beyond the range of bows and arrows. When Gao Jinku arrived in a hurry, the Ming army had already set up a wooden platform in front of the camp, and there were two vehicles that had just built the Haode Bridge next to it......

……

The Gongyi camp under the city is busy and orderly.

All the auxiliaries were digging tunnels, and Lu Renqing's mine battalion also went to help, nearly 2,000 people worked together, and the progress of the fourteen tunnels was very fast, and they could be dug under the city wall before noon.

Ti Zhaorong's Xiliang cavalry was divided into two divisions, covering the North Gate Camp and the West Gate Camp respectively, and Wang Meng also had a scout cavalry of about 200 people, following Wang Kefan as a mobile force.

The 5,000 infantry were divided into three echelons, the first echelon was responsible for storming the gap in the city wall, the second echelon was responsible for the main attack, and the third echelon remained in the camp and served as a reserve for the whole army.

Liu Shu's Ji'an volunteers acted as guides, leading the first echelon of infantry out of the camp to prepare for the attack.

Not far behind the tent of the Chinese army was a shed for storing gunpowder, under which there was a cellar. By this time, however, the cellar was empty, and all the gunpowder was carefully packed into the coffin under the command and supervision of the twister......

……

"It's like the real thing!" Gao Jinku thought it was strange.

The Ming army was assembling under the city, forming a very obvious attack formation, and next to them, there were several newly built haode bridge cars, which were obviously used to deal with the moat. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that they had just arrived yesterday, Gao Jinku would have thought that the Ming army was about to launch a general attack.

He immediately ordered the walls to be inspected, and the bricks at the foot of the city were struck one by one. He even came to the city wall in person, lying on the wall tiles and listened to it...... No matter how much you knock it, there is no empty echo, and Gao Jinku Zuihou concluded that the tunnels of the Ming army had just dug under the city walls at most. The foundations of the city walls are still intact.

"General Gao, are the southern thieves about to attack the city?" The prefect of Ji'an hurried over. He looked very nervous.

He turned out to be a county magistrate in Nanming. After the Qing army went south, he surrendered the city, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was short of officials, so he was promoted to be the prefect of Ji'an, and during this period of time after taking office, he worked tirelessly day and night to deliver a large number of supplies to the front line of the Qing army that was attacking Ganzhou. has been praised many times by Jin Shenghuan, and Gao Jinku is also very polite to him.

Unexpectedly, a Ming army suddenly entered Jiangxi and came to attack his Ji'an Mansion. This is the first time that the prefect of Ji'an has been on the battlefield, and when he saw Gao Jinku busy coming and going, his heart had already risen to his throat.

"Don't worry, this city wall can't be dug up for ten days or eight days, and Nangou is just bluffing." Gao Jinku said: "But the most important thing in the art of using soldiers is to be prepared, so let's step up preparations." ”

He issued an order, all the 3,000 green battalion soldiers in the city were on alert, and elite soldiers were dispatched to the city wall.

was busy, and suddenly someone came to report that the Ming army outside the city invited a demon to do it!

Gao Jinku and the prefect of Ji'an came to the city tower together, only to see a mage with a high crown of feathers, fighting with a sword on the wooden platform in front of the Ming army camp, roaring in his mouth, wandering back and forth, sometimes sitting in the air, sometimes rising green flames, dizzying and fascinating.

"This and this ......, there is really a demon practice! Hurry up and catch two black dogs, slaughter and bleed...... "The prefect of Ji'an has also heard the rumors of the thunder breaking the city, and at this moment, seeing that Hua Xiaoyue is really powerful, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

Gao Jinku was also very surprised, although he didn't believe in immortal spells, but Ming Jun's appearance of being troublesome still made him feel very uneasy. Raising his eyes and looking at the Ming army under the city, they all looked like they were charging at any time, as if the city wall in front of them did not exist.

At this time, a loud bang suddenly broke out on the other side of the city tower, and the city wall shook violently, so startled that Gao Jinku and the prefect of Ji'an turned their heads to look, only to see a yellow-brown smoke and dust rising into the sky.

"What's going on?" Gao Jinku and the others had not yet figured out the situation, but the Ming army under the city had already begun to charge, so they rushed straight towards the smoke and dust. They immediately rushed to the other side of the city tower, and looked at the battlements, only to see that the tall and strong city wall had been broken, and a huge gap of more than three zhang wide appeared in the middle.

"Thunder breaks the city! It's really a thunderbolt! ”

The prefect of Naji'an shouted, and Gao Jinku raised his hand and slapped him in the mouth, immediately knocking him unconscious.

"Mr. Xu Qian! Ben Shuai will give you 500 elites, you must kill the southern dog and plug the gap! ”

"Whoa!" Xu Qian took the order and went down to the city with five hundred green battalion soldiers, and after a short time, there was a shout of killing from the gap.

Obscured by the city walls and smoke, Gao Jinku could not see the battle situation at the gap, but he could guess from his imagination that there was a bloody battle and a brutal battle going on...... It's not a loss now, as long as the gap can be filled, the city defense line can be restored, as for how the Ming army blew up the city wall, he didn't have time to think,

What made Gao Jinku feel lucky was that after the first wave of the Ming army rushed into the gap, the follow-up troops did not keep up, and fought outside the city, and the Ming army that entered the city was about five or six hundred people, and Xu Qian should always be able to resist for a while.

"Maybe it's a low-level mistake of the Ming army." Gao Jinku didn't care about guessing the reason, and sent orders again and again, and dispatched people from other places to support and close the gap. At this time, there was a commotion under the city, he hurriedly leaned in to check, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, the Ming army at the original gap had retreated, until it retreated behind the moat.

"Report! Mr. Xu Qian has already killed the southern thieves and blocked the gap in the city wall! ”

"Good! Mr. Xu Qian is really brave! Come on, Chief Officer Xu Qian will be promoted to guerrilla, and the reward will be two hundred taels of silver, and the other sons and daughters will be ten taels each! Gao Jinku was in ecstasy, and was immediately promoted to reward silver, and when he was shouting, there was a loud bang behind him.

A hint of foreboding flashed in his heart, and he hurried to the other side of the tower to check, and not far away, a yellow-brown smoke was rising, getting higher and higher...... (To be continued......)
