Chapter 80: Manner

In the bright halo in the distance, there is a place in the Miyagi Yaoguang Palace, Huang Wen is sewing a brocade robe under the lamp, the light is dim, in a trance, the tip of the needle pierces the finger, and a drop of bright blood suddenly dyes a red stain on the soon-to-be-completed brocade robe.

Huang Wen frowned lightly, first wiped with a handkerchief, and then soaked it with soap, and finally left a faint flush, she had to take a piece of pink silk thread, and use needles and threads to form a six-petal plum blossom, and then trimmed it with golden silk thread, and finally picked it up and watched left and right.

At that time, most of the people believed in ghosts and gods, and careful people like Huang Wen were especially worried, Wu Yingying was a person who fought for his life on the battlefield, if the blood-stained brocade robe was given to him, I am afraid that the omen would be unlucky, in this case, it is better to sew another one from scratch. Huang Wen sighed, folded the brocade robe that had not yet been sewn and put it in the wardrobe, and took out the divination words in Wu Yingying's handwriting at the last Xinglin banquet.

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the ground under his feet seemed to jump violently, and then there was a lot of noise in the east of the city.

The people in the deep palace were unknown, but Wu Yingying and Hu Ze felt this violent vibration especially strongly at the head of the city, and the soldier who was in charge of listening to the ground jumped up with a scream, and his eardrum had been cracked and oozing blood. Hu Ze pulled Wu Yingying to lie down under the city wall, and shouted angrily: "The ground moves, the ground moves!"

Wu Yingying suddenly thought that the black powder in this era has come out, and it will soon enter the period of mixed use of hot and cold weapons, it is not that the Song army used gunpowder to blow up the city wall, and hurriedly said this opinion to Hu Ze, and said anxiously: "Brother Hu, now we need to understand which section of the city wall was plotted by the Song people, but it is conceivable that the Song army will definitely fight to enter the city from this gap, and our top priority is to plug this gap." ”

The method of blowing up the city wall with gunpowder has not yet become popular at this time, so Hu Ze, who is full of poetry and books, can't help but feel incredible, but he knows the power of gunpowder and fierce fire oil, and Hu Ze has an inexplicable trust in Wu Yingying, he believed Wu Yingying's judgment, quickly calmed down, pointed to the direction of the east gate of Zunxian Fang, which was the most noisy, and said: "It must be over there." He glanced at Wu Yingying, and said, "I will appease the soldiers everywhere first, and my brother can lead a thousand elites under me to go over first." I came after that. ”

Wu Yingying didn't expect the Song army to move so quickly, and it was a siege method that he had never thought of, and he had no time to smile bitterly at his own traverser who was played with a hot weapon by the ancients, so he nodded quickly, and led Hu Ze to hurriedly mobilize a thousand elite soldiers, and rushed through the city to the east gate, praying in his heart, the Song army must not control the city gate, otherwise it would really be out of control. The vanguard of the Great Song Dynasty commanded Cao Han to be shocked by the huge explosion, his chest was churning with blood and blood, he held back the fishy smell that gushed into his throat, "Bah, bah" Spit out the soil in his mouth, looked up to see that the eastern city wall of Jinling was actually blown out of a huge gap, in ecstasy, he turned around and shouted: "You can still move, follow me to the city!" Standing up, a staggering handful of reactive soldiers, pulled out the wrong golden treasure knife and ran towards the city wall, behind him, the Song soldiers, who were shocked by the huge explosion, subconsciously followed closely behind the main general, and many agile squad elite even overtook Cao Han in three or two steps, and rushed towards the gap in the city wall that suddenly fell silent after the huge explosion.

In fact, the tunnel blasting battle was not perfect, and the person who planned the plan was the Taoist priest of Youfang recommended by Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, who only knew the power of gunpowder, but did not understand the burial method of explosives and the location of the ambush. This time, the Song army dug more than a dozen tunnels at the same time, who knew that the water and soil in Jinling were low, and the tunnels near Qinhuai to the south were all flooded with seeping groundwater, and many soldiers died. Cao Bin was extremely annoyed in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the Taoist priest was recommended by the King of Jin, he would almost be punished with a military stick.

The only tunnel that successfully leads to the city wall is slightly north of the east of the Jinling city wall, the groundwater level here is slightly higher, because there is no water in the tunnel, the Song army in order to succeed, almost all the saltpeter and sulfur in the area of the Huai River in the two lakes have been collected, and after the man's recipe is done, the explosion chamber in the tunnel is extremely full, but the tunnel is not refilled. As a result, after the powder is ignited by the twist, the huge explosive force erupts upwards with only a small amount. On the contrary, the power of most of the explosions was released along the tunnel in the direction of the outside of the city, shaking the Song army ambushed outside the city, and hundreds of Xuan Feng soldiers who were close to the city wall were either killed or injured. Because the charge was so full, even the little force of the explosion would tear open the tall and majestic city wall like papier-mâché. In the end, Cao Han, the pioneer, took the lead in the city.

The originally solid ground near the collapse of the city wall was also shaken extremely soft, and when Cao Han arrived at the gap in the city wall with hundreds of reactive soldiers, it was already a piece of rubble, and occasionally the stumps and arms of the guards of the city could be seen, and there was not a single person alive. Seeing that the Tang army on the upper floor of the east city seemed to have reacted, a group of troops with torches were hurrying to this side, Cao Han squinted his eyes and calculated for a moment, ruthlessly, divided three hundred elites to lead himself and went straight to Jinling Palace City to kill, and the rest of the people waited on the mound formed by the collapse of the city wall under the leadership of Cai Hanqiong, the Marquis of the Ma army, and vowed to defend this vital place before the arrival of the Song army.

The guard of the east gate of Jinling is Hu Ze's henchman Song Deming, he knows that the gap in the city wall is important, and he can't care about the soldiers who are running in a panic on the city tower, grabbing hundreds of soldiers around him and rushing to the rubble pile guarded by Cai Hanqiong with torches, but fortunately, the defense of that place is the Song army who is ready to go to the city for hand-to-hand combat, and does not carry a few bows and crossbows, the Tang army is so in the night with torches and actually rushed to the Song army unharmed, the huge gap in the city wall is also the tuyere, and the torch fire hunts and hunts, many soldiers are burned by the fire eyebrows and beards, but they don't realize it, hundreds of people are just shouting and killing the collapsed rubble, and the Song army slashed each other。

This Song army is the elite of the real forbidden army selected by thousands of people in the bloody war of the five dynasties, and it was selected by Zhou Shizong, and Zhao Kuangyin was preferential.

And the Tang soldiers knew that after the city was broken, the country was ruined, the slaughter of Chuzhou was still there, and there were no eggs under the nest, and the wives and children would inevitably be humiliated, and the relatives and township parties would inevitably be displaced. Most of the Southern Tang Dynasty were deeply influenced by the literary style, and the idea of family and country was very deep. Just like the Jiangnan people who would rather die than be captured hundreds of years later, although they feel weak on weekdays, they really inspire a lot of blood and courage at the last moment when the country is ruined. The forbidden army of the Song Dynasty has been fighting in the south and north for many years, and many of these hundreds of elites have personally experienced the national war Khitan, Pingxi Shu, and the destruction of the Southern Han Dynasty.

This bloody battle stimulated the ferocity of the Song army's fierce soldiers, and the powerful Yulong direct deputy commander made Dai Xing's forehead smashed a big hole by the stones that burst out when the city wall collapsed, and only tore off half of the placket and simply wrapped it, and the other half of the placket that was hanging down was not like a simple one, so he simply threw off the clothes of the upper body and rolled it around his waist, and cut and split in the left side of the Tang army with his bare shoulders, like a mad tiger, and his upper body was covered with blood after a while, like a blood gourd, as if the gods and demons were in the world. Seeing that he was being attacked by the Southern Tang soldiers, Dai Xing became more and more courageous, and suddenly felt that his calf was caught, and he suddenly moved unchanged, and he was slashed by the Tang sergeant facing him, almost even the shield was broken, and when he looked down, it was a Tang sergeant who was injured and fell to the ground and hugged his thigh desperately.

Dai Xing's heart burst out of anger, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he was cut into two pieces from his waist with a knife, and the Tang sergeant squirted blood from the cavity to the ground, and the lower body fell to the ground, but the upper body was firmly hugged on Dai Xing's legs, and even after the waist was broken, he also bit Dai Xing's calf and stomach hard. Feeling a burst of pain, Dai Xing kicked his leg hard, throwing his upper body far away. Half of the Southern Tang soldier's body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, his eyes were full of resentment and resentment, and he kept staring at Dai Xing fiercely, and only after a few breaths did he stare and die. is so desperate and bloody, even Dai Xing, who has fought with the Khitans many times, can't help but be afraid afterwards.
