Chapter 151: Vietnam (11) -- Shocking Noise
After a while, under the city of Hue, the first regiment of Java, the second regiment of Java, and the third regiment of Java have all arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe scene of 10,000 people gathering is shocking.
Considering safety, Nguyen Quang Chan left the city wall under the escort of hundreds of officials. Looking back at the Ming Army again, the high morale made the timidity in his heart aggravate again.
Liu Weiguo can't understand this, and he doesn't want to do so. Although he got out of the boat, he was still a little weak. But the big war was imminent, and he still fought hard and arranged siege strategies.
First of all, a regiment of Java guarded the west gate. It leads inland and is mountainous. Once Ruan Guangzan runs away from there, it will be extremely troublesome to catch it again.
The 2nd Javanese Regiment and the 3rd Javanese Regiment were responsible for guarding the north and south gates. This is a passage to the south and north, and it must be blocked.
Finally, vacate the east gate. That's where they stand now. The ground faces the sea and leads directly to the South Sea. There, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty was waiting for them with open arms.
On the bright side, there was not a single soldier at the East City Gate. It's unbelievably clean. However, the siege of three lacks one, and it has always been the choice for attacking the city. After all, no matter what time it is, it's all about the heart. This vacant east gate is a real retreat. When the Vietnamese soldiers resisted, they would not fight to the death with Daming.
Of course, those who have a little vision will understand. This vacated east gate cannot be as unimpeded as it seems. Perhaps, there is an ambush that kills you.
But people are visual creatures. When the catastrophe comes, whenever there is a slight opportunity, it will be desperately seized. Even if they know that there is a trap in this east gate, most people will still rush in. That little fluke is the source of their motivation.
So the mercenaries, who had just converged, separated again. Li Zhong watched from the city wall, suspicious. He didn't know what medicine was in this Ming gourd? But he knew that if he didn't guard the city gate again, the emperor would never let him go.
But looking at the Ming army under the city, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. The hope of victory is so slim. Thinking of death again, his expression is extremely decadent.
But what he thinks has nothing to do with Da Ming.
I saw that the mercenaries moved quickly, and it didn't take long for them to rush to the south, north, and west gates. Then they began to dig trenches, build latrines, and set up camp. In the army of the Ming Dynasty, both regular and mercenary, there was a great deal of attention to hygiene.
And this toilet is the most important thing. Like in ancient times, the reason why epidemics are so prone to occur is because the health problem is not dealt with properly.
Therefore, Daming attaches great importance to it.
By the time these things were done, it was completely dark.
After a busy afternoon, the soldiers were hungry. In the barracks, a fire was built for cooking. The smoke curls up, reflecting the dark night sky so thoroughly and brightly.
Maybe it's because the soldiers have just come ashore and are still a little dizzy. After the soldiers finished eating and drinking, Liu Weiguo did not attack.
Li Zhong, who had been nervous, saw that the military camp under the city was gradually quieting down, and his eyes became a little subtle. In the light of the fire, it looks so resolute.
By midnight, there was no sound in the barracks except for the crackling of the campfires. And on the city of Hue, except for the yawning of the soldiers defending the city, there was no movement.
At this moment, the two small side doors next to the West City Gate suddenly slammed and slowly opened. The sound of the shaft as the bronze door moved, creaking and creaking, was so dull that people couldn't kick it.
I saw more than 2,000 soldiers in simple clothes, rushing out.
One by one, they stood on tiptoe, clenched their broadswords, and approached Java at a very fast speed.
Li Zhong watched from the top of the city, his fists clenched, and he sweated in his heart. In his opinion, the Ming army must have been extremely tired when they arrived from afar. That's why there was no attack.
And this is his chance to turn defeat into victory.
And he understands that muskets are better than distance! When close behind, the advantage of the musket is greatly diminished.
Therefore, the best counterattack is a sneak attack!
As for why it was chosen at the West City Gate, it is because out of the West Gate, it is a steep mountain. Open this passage and make it easier to escape.
When they sneaked up near the barracks, they were overjoyed to find that the guards were not alert.
But before I could think of it, someone suddenly said 'ah', but they tripped over something. Immediately after, there was a bang on the field. The people around were swept away in an instant.
But someone stepped on a mine!
It turned out that Daming had already prevented a sneak attack, so he deliberately planted mines around the barracks. Because the action is secretive, and there is night cover. So the Vietnamese army did not perceive.
In this way, the night raiding troops of more than 2,000 people became outright ghosts to die.
Just heard the first roar, Li Zhong secretly said that it was over! The light of the fire is so conspicuous! It seems to be Daming's sarcasm for him.
Good thing he knows what to do! Put away the frustrated heart, and immediately let people close the city gate to prevent the Ming army from mixing in.
In fact, he acted very wisely. Because at the moment when the mine exploded, Daming sent more than 100 soldiers dressed in black, carrying thick explosive bags, to quickly approach the city gate.
Thanks to the improvement of Daming's medical level and the follow-up of nutrition. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all overcame night blindness. So under the cover of the explosion, these black-clothed soldiers vaguely recognized the outline of the city wall and bowed forward.
Wang Kai is the main person in charge of this mission, so he is at the forefront.
Holding his breath for fear of alerting the guards. When he got close to the city gate, he didn't have time to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, so he took out the sapper shovel he carried with him. Towards the bottom of the copper gate, a big dig is dug up.
Everyone worked together, and after a while, a shallow pit was dug.
Then bury the explosives in it and connect the leads. Then he followed the road he came and evacuated quickly.
But suddenly, the guards on the city wall suddenly noticed something strange under the city gate. Exclaimed: "What man? ”。
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of guards surrounded him. They raised their bows and shot arrows, swishing towards the city gate.
It was an arrow whose tail had been infected with fire oil, so when it was shot down, it was like a falling meteor, dragging a long tail of fire and galloping towards the ground.
Even due to the darkness of the night, the accuracy of the arrows is poor. However, there were more than 300 arrows shot at one time, and they were aimed at such a narrow boundary in front of the city gate, so the hit rate was not low.
Puff puff, puff, the sound of arrows piercing flesh and skin was connected.
Wang Kai was the last to go, so he was lucky to avoid the first round of arrow rain. Just to see so many brothers fall under the rain of arrows, he was extremely distressed.
But he was stunned and watched, not daring to make the slightest move!
After about three rounds of arrow rain, the field was quiet. Estimating that the time was almost up, Wang Kai quickly lit the fuse and ran away.
The guards quickly spotted him as well, and followed him with arrows.
Just four seconds later, an earth-shattering loud bang suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth. The dark night sky suddenly turned white, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
