Rubbing his hands gently, Luo Yi looked at Yang He and said with a smile: "Whether Guangning City can be defended now depends on whether the gunpowder you buried is powerful enough." We don't have enough troops, and if the gunpowder you buried doesn't work, then we will become the ghosts of Jianyu's sword. ”

Yang He said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have tested the power of gunpowder and guaranteed that there is no problem." And just in case, I had dozens of mines planted at the steps of the city walls and at the gates of the city on the north and south sides. ”

"You planted mines, I know, but I've always had a question, why are you burying mines in these places?" Black Cloud Crane asked.

"Hehe, who knows what Jianyu will think? If they concentrate on attacking the south and north of the city, we can't do anything. But they have to come down after they go up the city wall, and these mines are for these prisoners who are not afraid of death. Shen Rong, do you estimate that after Jianyu was bombed twice, do you still dare to attack the city from the south and north of the city? Yang He smiled.

Heiyunhe smiled: "I don't know if Jianyu dares or not, if it were me, I would definitely not dare, who knows where you planted mines again?" ”

Yang He smiled and said: "Actually, I originally wanted to lay mines in the east of the city, but we don't have many mines, and we have to leave some to prepare for future retreat, so I didn't bury the mines in the east of the city." Fortunately, no mines were planted in the east of the city, otherwise, it would have been our people in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Luo Yi smiled: "Although the Jianyu fought bravely, they were also afraid of death, they drove the people over, although they wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the city, but they did not mean to let these people explore the way." ”

Black Cloud Crane and Yang He nodded lightly when they heard this.

Looking at the outside of the city, Luo Yi sighed: "I heard that Yang He prepared two major gifts for Jianyu, I originally hoped that Jianyu could send more people to attack the south and north of the city, it is best to have a few thousand people, then we will first blow up gunpowder, and then mine explosion, but Jianyu actually only dispatched a hundred people, it seems that our arrangement is going to fail." ”

Hei Yunhe looked at it for a while and sighed: "Just now I said that Jianyu is afraid of death, but now it seems that he is really afraid of death." ”

Yang He looked out of the city for a while, and couldn't help but admire the sharp eyes and rich experience of the two.

You must know that the city gate is more than a mile away from the north and south ends (about 554 meters in the Ming Dynasty), and at such a distance, you can also see a figure, but Luo Cheng and Heiyunhe can judge the number of people, which not only requires eyesight, but also has rich practical experience.

Yang He looked at it for a while, and he really couldn't see how many people Jianyu had dispatched.

Shaking his head slightly, Yang He knew that his experience was too far from the two.

"Dashuai, Shenrong, how many people have been dispatched by Jianyu?" Yang He asked.

Hearing this, Hei Yunhe smiled and said, "Brother Yang, do you look at the queue of Jianyu on the opposite side, are they all phalanxes?" ”

Yang He nodded, he could naturally see the phalanx on the opposite side clearly.

Hei Yunhe continued: "A phalanx of Jianlu is a Niu Lu, and a Niu Lu is three hundred people, and you can see that the phalanx on both sides is less than a small half, which means that each team of Jianlu has dispatched more than 100 people. ”

After listening to Hei Yunhe's explanation, Yang He stretched out his thumb: "The handsome and Shenrong are experienced, and they are admired." ”

"As long as you understand the military system of Jianyu, you can naturally understand it, what is there to admire." Black Cloud Crane laughed.

"You can teach him these things slowly in the future, and now start giving orders." Gauze**.

Black Cloud Crane replied and gestured to a soldier holding a small red flag next to him.

The soldier hurriedly waved the red flag in his hand, and then another soldier in the distance began waving the red flag, and soon the order was transmitted to both ends of the city wall.

Yang He knew that this was to inform Zhang Mingxian and Li Maochun to prepare to ignite gunpowder.

This is also discussed by everyone in advance, if there is an abnormal situation on both sides, then Zhang Mingxian and Li Maochun will order the gunpowder to be ignited, if there is no abnormality, the black cloud crane will inform both sides when to ignite the gunpowder.

In fact, after Yang He led people to bury the gunpowder, Hei Yunhe and others wanted to detonate it immediately, but Yang He felt that it was a pity to blow it up like this, so he suggested to Hei Yunhe and others that they should wait for the Jianyu attack before igniting it, so that it could kill some Jianyu soldiers, Hei Yunhe and others also felt that it was a pity to ignite it in advance, so they agreed with Yang He's opinion.

It's just that everyone didn't expect Jianyu to send such a few people, everyone knew that Jianyu sent these people over just to explore the way, but there was no way, because there were only a few soldiers responsible for igniting the gunpowder, if it was too late, it was likely to have unpredictable consequences, and at this time, no one dared to take risks.

After a while, seeing that the Jianyu forward was gradually approaching, and the flags were waving at both ends of the city wall again, Heiyunhe saw it and hurriedly said to Luo**: "Be careful, the gunpowder is ignited." ”

Luo Yi smiled and nodded.

After a while, I heard an earth-shattering loud noise at both ends of the city wall, and then the city wall shook violently, and after a while, the city wall stopped shaking, and then looked at both ends of the city wall, and two black clouds slowly rose.

Shaking his head, Yang He sighed secretly, so many gunpowder explosions did not produce mushroom clouds, the power of this gunpowder is too low, fortunately he tested it in advance, and then used the gunpowder together, otherwise, I don't know if it can cause damage to the terrain.

Yang He felt that the power of gunpowder was too low, but in the eyes of Luo Cheng and others, the power of this gunpowder was unimaginable. After a while, Luo Cheng and the others came to their senses.

Looking at Yang He, Luo Yi scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, how much gunpowder have you buried, how do I think the city wall is about to fall." ”

"Hehe, it's not much, there are two hundred altars in total." Yang He said with a smile.

Luo always smiled: "I just said that a few days ago, the army suddenly became lively, two hundred jars of wine, no less drinking." ”

Yang He smiled: "Hehe, I don't dare to let the brothers drink, it's Lord Shenrong who thinks the brothers are hard and agrees with everyone to drink." ”

A few people were talking and laughing, and soldiers were sent from both sides to report the news, and everyone knew each other, and they were Zhang Mingxian and Li Maochun's personal soldiers.

The situation reported by the two men was much the same: the Jianyu striker was either blown into powder or buried in the mud, and a huge deep pit with a length of more than 300 steps and a width of more than 50 steps was blown up in the north and south, and the pit was nearly one zhang deep.

Hearing that the river water poured into the pit, Yang He couldn't help frowning, now the weather is so cold, it won't be long before the water surface will freeze, and the depth of this pit is similar to the moat, even if the water level is lower now, it will not be less than one meter, that is, after freezing, the ice surface and the ground are less than two meters high, and this height is afraid that it is difficult to build a prisoner.

Yang He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly told Luo Yi and Hei Yunhe what he was worried about.

When Luo Yi heard this, he groaned a little and said: "Immediately inform Zhang Mingxian and Li Maochun, quickly carry a few more large general cannons and place them on the city walls on both sides, and if the Jianyu passes through the ice, they will open the ice with cannons and invite them to take a bath." ”

Hearing this, Heiyunhe laughed and said, "Now the north and south sides are completely sealed, and don't even think about it." ”

Yang He smiled bitterly when he heard this, he didn't expect that the water in the moat would be poured into the pit, but he didn't expect that there would be a mistake, and this situation would occur, and the north and south sides were really worry-free.

After thinking about it, Yang He suddenly asked, "Is there anything wrong with the brother who lit the gunpowder just now?" ”

The soldier who reported the news hurriedly said: "It's okay, after lighting the gunpowder, they all hid far away, and there was no injury at all." ”

Yang He nodded and continued: "Follow a few brothers, let them work hard, don't go back to the city for the time being, just stay under the city, if Jianlu comes around from the mountain, he will come out to scare Jianlu." When Jianyu saw that there were people under the city, he must have thought that we had planted gunpowder, and he would not dare to move lightly. ”

Hearing this, the two soldiers looked at Luo Yi and Hei Yunhe.

Hei Yunhe smiled and scolded when he saw it: "Two stinky boys, now Brother Yang is the commander of the handsome guard's battalion, and his order is the order of the marshal, don't hurry up and follow it!" ”

Hearing this, the two soldiers hurriedly clasped their fists and said: "I don't know if Brother Yang has been promoted to President Qian, and where it is rude, I still hope that Lord Haihan will be President Qian." ”

Yang He smiled: "My own brother, you don't need to be polite!" I also asked the two brothers to report to Brother Zhang and General Li as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" Two soldiers answered.

After speaking, he hugged his fists at Yang He and the others, turned around and left quickly.

……

There was a sudden explosion at the north and south ends of Guangning City, and the Jianyu was caught off guard and panicked, especially the cavalry, who almost fell off the war horse, and the war horse was so shocked that it almost lost control, but although the war horse did not become a frightened horse, it also made a big mess of the Jianyu's formation, and it took the boss's strength to re-stabilize the formation.

Seeing that there was such a big change before the tentative attack was launched, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji were both people who had been in battle for a long time, and they knew that the soldiers must be panicked at this time, and they could no longer continue to attack the city, so they did not hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

After returning to the camp, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan hurriedly summoned Sun Degong for questioning.

Sun Degong actually didn't understand what the two loud noises were, but he was very familiar with the smell of gunpowder, and when he smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air, he suspected that the two loud noises were caused by the Ming army detonating gunpowder.

At that moment, Sun Degong told Dai Shan and Huang Taiji about his suspicions.

After listening to what Sun Degong said, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't for God to help the Ming army.

Knowing that the two loud noises were emitted by the Ming army igniting gunpowder, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji were more convinced that the defense of the city was insufficient, and they strengthened their confidence in attacking the south and north of the city.

However, the top priority is to stabilize the morale of the army, and then send people to find out the news.

The result of the news surprised Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, and then made the two overjoyed.

The two of them were surprised because the power of the gunpowder was so great that they actually blew up a huge pit at the east end of the north and south of the city, and the huge pit was nearly a foot deep, and the cavalry could not pass through it at all.

To the surprise of the two, the pit was full of water, and now the weather was so cold, or one day, the water surface would form a layer of ice, and after the ice formed, it was only half a foot from the ground, although the cavalry could not pass, but the infantry had no problem to pass, and the siege of the city depended on the infantry.

For a while, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji looked at each other and laughed, both indicating that the army's detonation of gunpowder this time was a bamboo basket for nothing.
