Ji'er Harang stepped forward at this time and gave a deep salute, "King Binghan, back then in Zhuozhou, this Zhao Lie used his gunpowder bag to cause heavy losses to our army, and Zhao Lie's subordinates will definitely act like this this time." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zilharang's words were like pouring a handful of cold water on a brazier, which made everyone's hot fighting spirit drop down a lot, of course, no one blamed him, after all, this was to preserve his own strength.

Of course, seeing their prey in front of them is really tormenting when they can't see it, and the young ones such as Dolgon and Duoduo are even more anxious, that is the old enemy Zhao Lie, and the temptation to annihilate this strong enemy is too great.

After all, they had heard that the sea ice in Arthur Bay was not thick except for a few years, and it might thaw when, unlike the sea ice in other places, it takes three or four months to thaw once it is frozen.

Therefore, they had to act as soon as possible in order to eradicate Zhao Lie's fierce enemy before the ice melted.

Huang Taiji was also thinking hard at this time, he was the one who had the heaviest thoughts on killing Zhao Lie here, after all, Huang Taiji took it as his responsibility to enter the Central Plains, and he couldn't become a generation of heroes without bringing Dajin into the Central Plains, and Kublai Khan was his role model.

The vast wealth of the Ming Dynasty has a fatal attraction to the Jurchens who have always lived in a corner of the bitter cold, of course, if you want to conquer an empire, you must first defeat the army that destroyed him, the nine-sided elite of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji almost touched it, and the combat power of these Ming armies, his evaluation is nothing more than that, that is, Liaozhen is top-notch, but Liaozhen is also defeated and retreated against the Dajin army, and now it has become a defender.

But it was this Zhao Lie who had several confrontations with Dajin, and there was no defeat against the Jin State, and in Huang Taiji's view, as long as he defeated the last strong army of the Ming State, the Ming Army would lose its backbone when facing the Jin Army. Dajin can knead it however he wants, and Daming will become a pile of dead meat.

Therefore, the idea of taking this opportunity to kill Zhao Lie was so strong that his always calm mind was also a little confused, and he had no clue for a while.

"King Khan, our army can dig tunnels and place gunpowder under the city of Arthur. Blow up the walls so you can break into the city. Abatai, who had never been reluctant to say much, suggested.

"It's more than four miles away from Lushun South City, it's too far." The youngest of them, Dord, was also the most impatient, and he was the first to question this stupid method.

"It's not far, you must know that there are more than 10,000 Han troops here, and they are the best at this." Abatai said with a smile, he had been thinking about it for a long time before he suggested it to the Khan.

Azig and Yueto also laughed and echoed, showing their contempt for Nikan. A cowardly Nikan is the best at digging and defending the city.

"Abatai's method is good, just follow this method, but how much gunpowder is there here." Khan Emperor Taiji also voted in favor, of course, since the gunpowder of the city is fundamental, it is useless to do less.

"There are only 3,000 catties of gunpowder here, I'm afraid it's insufficient." Derg replied dryly.

Generally, such a siege requires six or seven thousand catties of gunpowder, and at least two parts will be blown up to destroy this section of the city wall. so that the follow-up infantry team can rush into the city, therefore. This bit of gunpowder is definitely insufficient.

"Derge, you immediately send someone to Jinzhou and other places to collect gunpowder and other materials." Huang Taiji ordered.

Derge class ordered, Huang Taiji arranged for people to check the terrain, where to excavate, of course, the most troublesome here is the section of the moat, after all, it is the rarest section, must be dug from under the moat. It is the most labor-intensive, of course, now that the big golden bird gun is replaced by a cannon, there are a lot of coolies to serve them, and the Han Army Banner is doing this.

The anxious Baylors sent out more than 10,000 people from the Han Army in the afternoon and began to busy on the frozen earth. Some people began to dig through the frozen earth, and this site was chosen behind two small mounds, which blocked the view of the defenders, and although there were so many people busy, it was impossible not to keep the defenders awake, but it was only a guess to see them.

There are thousands of people who came to the nearby woodland to start harvesting logs, the tunnel must be supported by logs and planks, otherwise it must collapse down, such a long distance, the logs needed are really a lot, fortunately, the woodland near Lushun is really not too much, the Han military flag used to be cut down.

And the thousands of armor soldiers of the two red flags and two blue flags were on guard more than two miles away from the city to prevent the army dogs from jumping over the wall to attack the Han army flags.

With such a big battle in Jiannu, of course the city saw it very clearly, Wei Mingtao watched it for a long time, so he had to return to Zhao Lie and Zhang Pan.

Zhao Lie is now usually stationed at the South Gate of Lushun South City, after all, it is the closest to the fleet, but this time the weather has changed dramatically, so that the fleet has withdrawn from Lushun Bay, where the current is not very smooth, after all, the sea water here is not too flowing and it is easy to freeze.

In this way, the frozen Lushun Bay immediately turned the southern city of Lushun into an isolated island, which made Zhao Lie laugh, as long as he arrived in Lushun, there must be an emergency situation, and he was encountering Mang Gurtai attacking Lushun last time.

This time, it was Mang Gurtai's maternal brother Derge who came to attack, and the fleet could not provide protection, so it could only withdraw from the bay and let the captives trap the lonely city of Lushun.

As for whether Jiannu takes advantage of the situation to attack, this is not a problem, if Lushun becomes an isolated city, and Jiannu does not come to attack, then is there a better chance, Huang Taiji and others are not so brainless.

Zhao Lie received a report that he came to the head of the north city surrounded by the guards, and at this time, Zhang Pan, who was not far from the north city, had already arrived one step ahead and was carefully watching the formation.

After Zhao Lie greeted Zhang Pan, he carefully watched Jiannu's actions with a telescope, and after looking at it for a while, Zhao Lie was sure that Jiannu was going to dig tunnels to blow up the city, thinking that Jiannu had no other tricks, only this one.

"Lord Zhao, this method of Jiannu is vicious, they may dig out four or five tunnels, two or three of which are true, and then blow up the city with gunpowder, and the armor soldiers break in."

Zhang Pan, a veteran, also saw Jiannu's plan,

"In the past, Jiannu couldn't do this, after all, it was better to let the Jurchen masters dig the soil than to kill them, and now there are too many minions."

Zhang Pan sneered, it was also a kind of helplessness, he also knew that many Ming people who couldn't survive went to the sea to invest in the territory of Jiannu, but how to deal with this matter is the responsibility of the Son of Heaven and the elder of the pavilion, as a military general, he can only watch anxious, but he is incompetent and powerless, and reports the matter, while the imperial court only strictly ordered to strengthen the sea ban perfunctory.

In fact, it can send people to Liaodong, where there are businessmen who organize sea ships to smuggle in the middle, and many border troops have been bought, this is already a fixed chain of interests, how can it be easily cut off.

What's more, when you go to Liaodong, you have land, whether you rent it or your own, it is better than being a homeless person, so the attraction to the Ming people who regard the acres of land as the root of their life is too great, how can it be easily cut off.

If Daming wants to completely cut off this channel, it has to let the displaced people have land to plant, so that they will not be displaced, but is it possible, if it can really be done to this point, will there be so many civil unrest.

"Hehe, Jiannu wants to play tunnel warfare, this is good, Jiannu is immediately dominant, and now I am forced to run underground by my Lushun local rats, it's really ridiculous." Zhao Lie couldn't help but laugh when he found out about Jiannu's plan.

"My lord has a way to crack it, Jiannu is attacking the city like this, it's not easy to deal with it." Zhang Pan was a little worried.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

Later generations have said too much about tunnel warfare, as long as it is a Chinese person, they can say one, two, or three, without hindering flooding, blasting, poison gas, and excavation.

There is no need to think about flooding, Lushun, who digs wells and drafts, really doesn't have so much water, and the poisonous gas, please, Zhao Lie is not a science student, and he also carries a computer and mobile phone and other cheats, which is really impossible to do.

But the method of blasting is simple and crude, and it is completely sufficient.

lost the cannon, Fang Ximen, Fang Dongmen, Lu You and others also had to be cannon fodder together with other Han army banner soldiers.

Together with the 3,000 Han army, they were laboriously digging the permafrost, and the permafrost here was not too deep, only more than a foot deep, but it was extremely difficult to dig more than this foot deep.

Fang Dongmen and Lu came to the back and sat down breathlessly, they had just been replaced by the next wave of people, and they would rest for a while and then go up, fortunately, there were enough people, and they could all have a time to rest.

"Huhu, this hand is numb," Lu Youyou gasped.

He rubbed his numb hands vigorously.

"Be content, you, it's just digging the earth, not besieging the city, look at the people who died a few days ago are still freezing under the city." Fang East Gate is a guide square.

Lu You shrunk his neck, "Tsk, Fang Tou, I'm just talking, if it weren't for your Fang Tou and your brothers, I Lu You might have been lying there." ”

"Alas, it's all Tosimon's blessing, where do I have that ability, alas, this tiger's mouth is numb, this ground is really hard enough, it's really too troublesome to knock." Fang Dongmen also rubbed his hands with grinned teeth.

Lu You grinned, didn't say anything, and continued to move his fingers and wrists.

After a while, Fang Ximen also took people down to rest, and nearly a thousand people under his jurisdiction finished their work and came down to rest.

"Fangtou, you drink some water." There are very dog-legged people on the road who stepped forward to hand over the water bladder.

Fang Ximen hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of water, although the water was cold, but it was very thirst-quenching for him at the moment, although he didn't do any work himself, but after all, after drinking for a long time, his throat was really thirsty, and this cold water just made the smoking throat moisturize and feel a lot more comfortable.

"Simon, where do you have to dig this, don't say if the work is tiring or not, it's a mad person to dig into the ground." Fang Dongmen hid his head and his brain.

"Hmph, where, get there," Fang Ximen a little Lushun South City.

Fang Dongmen gasped, it was so far away, how many sins he had to suffer. (To be continued.) )
