The function of the city wall was originally to prevent the enemy from entering the city, so when the city wall was built, many stairs were also built in the city to facilitate the army in the city to go up the city wall, so it was easy to climb the city tower from the city.

It's just that the city tower is about ten meters high, and it is easy to go up to the city tower, but if you want to jump from the city wall to the outside of the city, even if you don't die, you have to be crippled, and when the rout army fled, in order to prevent the intruding army from pursuing, all the ladders were removed, and even the ropes were not left.

Even the gates were chained by an arm-thick chain, and as for the key, the devil knows where it went.

"I knew that this was the case, I just had to prepare a rope more than ten meters long, why bother so much!" Li Hongfei complained.

Slipping out of the city walls with a rope not only allows you to leave quickly, but also acts as a concealment to prevent the gunpowder from exploding and alerting the intruders.

But he can only do it as an afterthought, this is not the twenty-first century, a rope that can bear the weight of a person is not something that can be found casually, and he himself is a layman, he doesn't know what the situation is on the side of Ding'anmen, so he didn't think of this stubble at all.

If you go back now to find the ropes, you won't have time at all.

Fortunately, the city gate was only locked with iron chains, and even if the explosives package could not blow up the city gate, as long as the iron chains were blown up, everyone could get out smoothly.

"Go, jam the explosive bag between the gate and the chain, and light the fuse." Li Hongfei instructed Wang Guoxingdao.

"Why am I going? Don't you know firearms, why don't you go yourself, what if I don't get it right? Wang Guoxing was reluctant to go.

The ancients still had an inexplicable awe of gunpowder, and such a large bag of explosives made Wang Guoxing faintly uneasy.

"Cut, I'm just in charge of making firearms, but I didn't say that I had to light the fires myself, besides, do you see that the craftsmen who make firearms in the Ordnance Bureau have their own firearms that go to the battlefield and use firearms themselves? It's not about letting those soldiers manipulate themselves. Li Hongfei began to play scoundrels.

Although the craftsmen did not go to the battlefield to operate it personally, these craftsmen had already been tested many times before the firearms were installed in the army, so Li Hongfei used weapons that had not been tested to let Wang Guoxing operate them, which was indeed a bit of a scoundrel.

But Li Hongfei couldn't help it, because even he didn't know the power of the explosive, what if the miscalculation was wrong, or the lead burned too fast, and he didn't have time to escape?

It was only the first day of crossing, and he didn't want to hang up like this.

"My lord, you have a heavy responsibility, so let the little one do it for you." A brocade guard next to him said to Wang Guoxing with a heavy face.

There is also a bit of tragedy in the heaviness, as if this time, there is really no return.

"If you have it, don't you sacrifice yourself to bomb the bunker, can you use it like this? Let the fastest runner go, light the fuse, and run as fast as possible, believe me that it is absolutely fine. Li Hongfei added.

He didn't care who went, as long as it wasn't himself, but for the sake of insurance, he still reminded Wang Guoxing to arrange a person who could run the fastest to complete this task.

"Forget it, I'll come, you all stay away." Wang Guoxing finally decided to take matters into his own hands.

He is the fastest of the ten, and he can't go if he doesn't go.

Li Hongfei took Zhu Youzhen and others to retreat to a distance of 200 meters, and ordered everyone to lie on the ground and open their mouths wide to avoid deafness........

Ten miles away from Andingmen, after a day and night of fighting, except for a small number of troops surrounding Qihuamen to confront, the rest of the army unloaded their armor and fell asleep.

Now most of the city of Beijing has been occupied, and there is not much left of the Ming army, so Li Zicheng's troops sleep soundly.

However, the army in his sleep was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

This is the spring of March, and it is true that there are often spring thunderstorms, but the weather has been fine in recent days, and there are no signs of thunderstorms.

Many sergeants thought that there were too many killings during the day, which angered the old lady, and even some uneasy soldiers raised their knives to slash and kill the people around them.

Bombing the camp is a very common phenomenon in the ancient army, especially during the day, when the battle is fierce, and the slightest disturbance at night can easily cause the bombing of the camp.

Even many far-sighted generals usually sent small groups of troops to attack the camp at night after fierce battles during the day, and once the enemy army was unprepared, it was easy to break up.

In fact, when attacking the camp at night, both sides could not distinguish between friend and foe, and it was impossible to kill a large number of enemies, but the people in the camp were frightened and slashed each other, causing heavier losses.

This is the case now, because of the victory during the day, the whole army relaxed their vigilance, thinking that the Ming army had long been defeated, so most of the generals did not stay in the army on duty, but drank and had fun in the palace, so that the soldiers bombed the camp and failed to press it at the first time.

Now there are shouts of killing everywhere, which makes many sober sergeants confused again, and they don't know how many "Ming troops" have come to attack the camp.

"What the hell is so powerful?" Li Zicheng, who was sleeping in the Heart Cultivation Palace, was also awakened, and before he even had time to put on his battle armor, he rushed out of the palace gate directly wearing a nightgown and carrying a golden knife.

"Do you know where this explosion is coming from?" Li Zicheng asked the guards outside the door.

He has been fighting for many years, but he doesn't believe that this is any kind of thunder, but it is just a loud explosion of a firearm, and listening to the sound, it should be far away.

"Yu Shengshang (Li Zicheng has been proclaimed emperor in Xi'an in the first month), the voice came from Ding'anmen, and his subordinates saw that half of the sky was bright, which was amazing." The guard replied.

Although this guard is still psychologically excellent, he can't help but sigh.

"Ding'anmen is so far away, why is the barracks so noisy? Not good! Bomb the camp! Quickly inform you, load the Hou, and quickly send troops to suppress it. Li Zicheng quickly issued an order.

The barracks are full of his soldiers, and if there are too many dead and wounded, it will be a big loss.

"In addition, send 2,000 cavalry to Ding'anmen to find out the reason." Li Zicheng added again.

It seems that this night, Li Zicheng's army doesn't want to sleep peacefully.

The soldiers stationed near Qihua Gate naturally heard this loud noise, and the sergeants here were only frightened because they were farther away and most of them were in a state of readiness for battle, so they were only frightened and did not bomb the camp.

"It's not good, it must be that gang of thieves who want to get out of the city, brothers order all the soldiers and horses, follow me to Ding'anmen!"

Chen Gui, who had just been scolded by his boss for letting go of the enemy army, heard a loud noise at this time, how could he not know that it was the gang of thieves who killed him and was scolded.
