Chapter 138: The Poisoner (2)

"It's a mess!" Seeing the soldiers who had withdrawn in embarrassment, Wang Shen didn't even bother to reprimand them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In fact, the responsibility for this defeat lies with oneself, and no one else can be blamed.

In the era of cold weapons without artillery, it was never easy to attack a fortified city. The art of war is cloudy: so the law of war, ten is to encircle, five is to attack, multiple is to fight, the enemy can be divided, less can escape, if not, it can be avoided. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured.

In other words, in order to completely annihilate the enemy's army, our army should be more than ten times the enemy's strength.

Attacking cities, this number should be even greater.

In addition, it is also necessary to make adequate preparations in siege tactics and equipment.

Cave siege was one of the best methods, in the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. In the early years, many soldiers in the Taiping army were miners, and they made this tactic superb, and accordingly took Jinling, which was a dragon and a tiger.

The solution is simple, first send soldiers to dig a tunnel under the city wall. Then the gunpowder was put into a coffin and sealed, sent into the tunnel, and ignited to blow up the city wall.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, gunpowder had already begun to appear on the battlefield. So, Wang Shen decided to learn from it.

So, he first found someone to find all the Taoists in Qichun, and ordered them to rush out a batch of gunpowder and bury it in the tunnel dug in advance.

A little fire, it works well. The scene was like a thunderbolt, the ground shook, and the smoke was filled. So, Gu Lie, who was already preparing to the side, immediately pounced with more than two hundred sharp soldiers, preparing to enter the city in one breath through the gap in the city wall that had been blown up in advance.

But when the soldiers pounced under the city wall, they were greeted by a continuous stream of stones that rained down like feathers. Looking ahead, the walls remained as untouched as ever.

Suddenly suffering this blow, Gu Lie and the others were a little confused.

At this time, in the thick smoke, a soldier of the Kong family army suddenly opened the water gate and came out again.

After a few days of urban offensive and defensive battles, Kong Yanzhou's remnants of the army were gone. After all, he is an old pawn, and he has to see the rules and regulations of the battle.

The battle was short and intense, and as a result, both sides retreated with dozens of casualties and resumed confrontation.

At this time, Wang Shencai felt as if there was nothing wrong. After checking the gunpowder made by the Taoist priests, I found that the quality was worrying. First of all, the combustion is incomplete, and finally there is a large amount of residue left. The so-called explosion is the process of burning violently. In this case, the power is naturally not too great.

Moreover, there seems to be a problem with the ratio of those gunpowders, and when they are lit, the smoke is very large, but there is no fire.

Although poor Wang Shen is a traverser, he is a standard liberal arts student, and he is blind when he only sees that the composition of gunpowder is one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, and how much specific materials should be put in.

As for those Taoist priests, they were all robbed by the troops during the military turmoil a while ago, and they were not very cooperative.

In desperation, Wang Shen had no choice but to send them away.

Since he couldn't take Qi Chun in the shortest possible time, he could only make a long-term siege and plan to slowly figure it out.

Next, he ordered his soldiers to set up a long siege, build a strong fortress, and build siege equipment. Anyway, the time is on me, and I am not in a hurry. There can be no more blind attacks that allow the soldiers to suffer unnecessary casualties.

At this moment, Lu Benzhong was enjoying himself in Kong Yanzhou's room.

The owner of this house doesn't know what his identity is, and there are many rare books and rare books hidden in the study. One of the most wonderful is a copy of the ancient version of "Shangshu" found in the former residence of Confucius in the Han Dynasty, which is 16 more than the modern version dictated by Fu Sheng. It's really interesting to read the two books side by side.

He had been locked up in the basement for days, and he was bored to death. When I see a book now, it's like a foodie seeing food.

He was reading into the alley with tea in one hand and a book in the other, when he suddenly heard loud footsteps behind him.

Looking back, it was Kong Yanzhou who was dressed in a drape.

For this martial artist, Lu Benzhong was disdainful, and he didn't get up, only rolled his eyes: "Kong Yanzhou, you're back...... Yes! ā€

I saw Kong Yanzhou raise his right foot and kick it like lightning, hitting his left hand.

There was no time to react, and the naked eye could see that the left hand was bent to the side at a strange angle.

Then came the pain of the cone.

Lu Benzhong is a person who is used to enjoying it, when has he been beaten like this. Suddenly slumped to the ground: "You, you, what are you going to do...... Yes! ā€

"Eat, eat, eat!" Kong Yanzhou lifted the hot tea and poured it on his head. Then he came over with another kick and stepped on his head, causing Lu Benzhong's head to rub on the ground a few times: "The surname is Lu, can't you guess what Lao Tzu is going to do?" I thought that you were still a character, and you were also a court official, which gave you a little face. But I don't want to, you old killer only enjoy Lao Tzu's beauty, eat my offerings, but collude with Wang Shen's beast. I wanted to use your fake information to get the thief to retreat, but now, hehe, it seems that people don't want to leave. You say, "What's the use of me taking you?" Lao Tzu hates meticulous work the most in his life, and once it falls into my hands, he will naturally be killed. ā€

Feeling that his skull was creaking, maybe he would be trampled on by others in the next moment, Lu Benzhong shouted: "Kong Yanzhou, what do you want to do, do you want to kill the old man?" Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future. If you kill me, you don't want to leave a way out for yourself, and who will dare to recruit you in the future? ā€

"Are you threatening me?" Kong Yanzhou laughed loudly: "There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master." The Great Song Dynasty did not keep his master, and also went to vote for the Jurchen. You can see the situation in the city clearly, you old horseman can also see clearly, you can't rush out, you can't defend it, the surname Wang is going to put grandpa as a mortal enemy! Anyway, everyone is going to die, before you die, Lao Tzu will kill you first, and the plague in the yamen, so you can have a good time. ā€

Feeling that the power on the foot on his head was getting bigger and bigger, Lu Benzhong, who had always been arrogant, was finally afraid. He also knew that Kong Yanzhou had already had murderous intentions, so he had to hurriedly say: "Kong Yanzhou, Kong Juji, until the end of the matter, you still have a chance to turn defeat into victory." Just listen to the old man's words, and tell Wang Shen that there is no place for Xiao'er to die...... Ah, can you loosen your feet? His head swelled terribly, his eyes darkened, and the pain in his hands made him speechless.

These words made Kong Yanzhou stunned, but he was not in a hurry to kill Lu Benzhong.

Immediately lifted Lu Benzhong from the ground like a chicken, threw him on the chair, and shouted: "I'm not in a hurry to kill you, let's hear it." ā€

Lu Benzhong sat on the chair, wheezing for a long time, and coughed a few more times. It wasn't until he regained his eyesight that he asked, "Geoje, I don't know how you had a personal relationship with Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, Li Hong, and Shang Yuan when you led the troops in the Tokyo Left-behind Division?" ā€
