Chapter 610: The Siege of Shenglong Fifteen

It's not that you can't use deception, but for the sake of winning the battle, the use of deception outweighs the loss. There is no need.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Gu feels that the destruction of Shenglong City is imminent, and it doesn't matter whether their sailors are really sincere or false. Lone thinks why not just calculate. ”

Wang Yangming's status in Zhu Houhuang's heart is very high, and Wang Yangming has a characteristic, that is, he never has a hard top with Zhu Houhuang. It can be said that if Zhu Houhuang has a fixed opinion on any matter, Wang Yangming will not directly refute it. Like now.

Wang Yangming said: "Your Highness, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Gu is ready to blow up Shenglong City. ”

In the dark night, although you can't talk about reaching out and not seeing your fingers, the visibility is not too high.

Countless torches on the head of the city illuminate the night sky, from time to time a few torches are thrown down from the city and lit on the ground, and some people light the siege equipment left by the Yongjun army during the siege of the city one by one, and the surrounding of the city is lit red. Throughout the city walls of Thang Long City, bonfires are not extinguished, and the voices of people are endless. When you look down from the sky, you can see the outline of Thang Long Castle.

There is absolutely no major flaw in Mo Dengyong's arrangement. But if something goes wrong with the guards, no matter how good the system is, it won't be able to achieve its goals.

Several groups of soldiers were patrolling back and forth in the city, when suddenly the patrolling stopped and blocked the roads on both sides.

There was a thud from the city wall below, and suddenly two blue bricks burst out of the city wall and fell to the ground. After a while, a big hole was dug in the city wall, and this big hole was opened in an instant, and it was a secret door.

This was originally a secret door used for assault when defending the city, but it was quietly opened at this moment. A large group of Yongjun soldiers emerged from the darkness, bypassed the two bonfires, and came to the secret door.

Someone immediately came to answer and said, "Is it General Yu?" ”

"It's me." Yu Dayou suddenly appeared.

"The head of my family asks the general to enter the city."

Yu Dayou said: "Since this is the case, please hand over this secret door to our army to show your family's sincerity."

"This ----," the man hesitated a little.

"How?" Yu Dayou's voice came coldly.

"Good, good. Good. This person was frightened by Yu Dayou, and immediately said, "The small one will be arranged." ”

Yu Dayou observed his words and felt that this person seemed to have no flaws. But he still decided to follow Zhu Houhuang's method, a group of people rushed in in the dark, controlled the secret door, and then many people came in from the outside, all of them carrying a big package, this package was nothing else, it was a gunpowder bag. These are the specifications used in the transport of gunpowder. Each one weighs dozens of pounds. They immediately put the powder packs in the secret door without anyone's orders.

Even the walls of the secret door inside are being sealed at the same time.

He didn't dare to use an open flame in the secret door, and when he got up, Zhu Houhuang prepared quite a lot of fire oil. Almost the Yongjun gunpowder was completed.

Don't think that the gunpowder of the Yongjun army is less, you must know that Zhu Houhuang can be said to be one of the armies with the most musket equipment in addition to the Franco army, of course, the Shenji battalion among the three battalions of the Daming Beijing Battalion, known as the pure firearms army, in terms of gunpowder consumption, should be far better than the Yongjun, but in the Beijing division, Zhu Houhuang has already inspected the Shenji battalion, and he thinks that the Shenji battalion as an army has long existed.

One-tenth of Yongjun's gunpowder stock is also as much as thousands of catties.

The gunpowder is loaded, the wires are laid out, and the gunpowder explodes at the same time. There are also secret doors on both sides that are blocked again. This is a very labor-intensive thing, and in the secret door, I don't dare to light an open fire. Progress is slower.

Yu Dayou just showed his head, and he left.

How could Zhu Houhuang be willing to let his henchmen take risks, but the people in the city hoped that there would be a heavyweight in charge of this matter. However, there is so much gunpowder piled up here, if you are not careful, you will be blown to pieces. Even if Yu Dayou dared to stay here, Zhu Houhuang would not let Yu Dayou stay here.

"Why haven't you come in yet, haven't you handed over the secret door to them a long time ago?" Mo Dengyong asked.

As Zhu Houhuang expected, this was Mo Dengyong's plan.

However, Zhu Houhuang also guessed wrong.

Zhu Houhuang thought that Mo Dengyong wanted to continue the deception, but he turned defeat into victory. Bites Yongjun hard. But he didn't know that Mo Dengyong had no idea of victory at this moment, he just wanted to surrender in the city.

Even killing couldn't suppress the fluctuation of people's hearts in the city, and he knew that there must be people in the city who colluded with the outside. Therefore, Mo Dengyong decided to let others collude with Yongjun, it is better for him to collude with Yongjun and ambush Yongjun once, and if someone colludes with Yongjun later, Yongjun will not easily believe it, which will make him delay more time.

At this moment, Mo Dengyong was not far behind the secret door.

There are also more than 10,000 elite soldiers here, and they are already ready to fight.

As soon as the Yongjun army entered Thang Long City, they immediately surrounded it on all sides and took back the secret gate. Moreover, in order not to make his courage suspicious, he also did things very carefully, so the people who participated in the deception did not know that they were defrauded. is also this kind of meticulousness, which makes it difficult for Mo Dengyong to directly monitor the situation on the side of the secret door, but he feels that the time is a little wrong?

As soon as Mo Dengyong said this, someone immediately said: "I'll send someone to take a look." ”

"Go, go back."

"Yes."

In a few moments, a group of patrolling soldiers came from the city walls.

Reminded by the people of the city, the following activities were terminated immediately. It was only after the patrol soldiers had passed that they returned to normal.

"Your Highness, I have asked privately. said that Yongjun has been going in and out of the secret door, and it seems that he has put something in the secret door. ”

"What to put in it?" Mo Dengyong frowned when he heard this, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, sweat was like pulp, and a large area of cold sweat made Mo Dengyong's clothes wet. As soon as Mo Dengyong remembered the example of the Yongjun army, the Yongjun had blasted the city twice and once, if it weren't for the relatively low groundwater level in Thang Long City, the Red River would almost half-circle Thang Long City. Plus the rainy season has just passed. The water table has not yet dropped to the point where tunnels can be excavated.

These objective facts make it impossible for the Yongjun army to use the collapse method, otherwise this city wall would have blown him up a long time ago.

With such an association, if you put something, it is naturally gunpowder.

As soon as he thought of this, Mo Dengyong immediately said: "Attack immediately and recapture the secret door." ”

"Yes."

It's a pity that Mo Dengyong's decision was relatively slow, and after intense arrangement at this moment, the secret door hole has almost been completed.

The gunpowder was neatly arranged, and the lines of fire were finally gathered together. Put it out of the city.

In fact, it is not very appropriate to collapse like this.

First, the opening of the secret gate is not a closed space. Exploding inside, the air flow of the explosion is likely to erupt along the hole in the city gate, rather than lifting the city walls. Moreover, the gunpowder is built into the wall one by one, not as a whole, and it is easy to explode separately inside, rather than exploding together, and the force of the explosion will be dispersed.

So these arquebuses are calculated, and will ignite all the powder packets at the same time, but don't know if they can explode together.

It is also because of this reason that the amount of gunpowder used this time is particularly large, and the location is completely inappropriate, and the dosage is piled up. Anyway, the power is sufficient, even the bricks can fly into the sky, and as long as the force of the explosion is strong enough, even if the location is not good, this city wall can be overturned.

The last man dragged out the rope, and a rope several feet long spread out little by little, and at last he pinched the head of the rope and shouted to the people at the head of the city, "Hurry up and get out of the way, for it will collapse." ”

In the darkness, the shout was heard far away. The faces of several people in the city turned white. Before they could react. The rope had been thrown into a bonfire. In the end, the person who collapsed didn't say a word, and ran desperately.

A little light burned along the firerope, but after a while, it disappeared into the secret door.

Then there was an earth-shattering bang, and the flames of the explosion instantly lit up the darkness around them, suppressing the bonfires. Countless bricks flew out.
