Chapter 488 The town does not hesitate to count the stems and hairs (I)
The moment the gun pierced through the thin-skinned coffin, the granular gunpowder wrapped in the kraft paper was ignited instantly, and then a violent explosion broke out, and the four coffins next to each other were exploded one after another.
Tie Zhan didn't even have time to turn back before he was engulfed by a scorching wave of air.
"Bang, bang......!"
Just when Wu Sangui and the others on the gate tower of Shanhaiguan proudly thought that the Jingbei Army's method of tunneling and breaking the city had completely collapsed, suddenly two loud noises came, and the iron-clad wall of Shanhaiguan suddenly shook.
"Bang, bang......!"
The Guan Ning army on the city still didn't understand what was going on, and then there were two loud bangs, and the city wall shook even more, this time even a section of the city wall had been tilted, and under the city wall was filled with dense black smoke.
The Wu Jun who closed the gate were stunned by the series of explosions, and their faces turned pale one by one, at this moment they didn't understand what was going on, they only felt that the earth was trembling.
"Bang, bang, bang......!"
At the same time, a series of explosions also broke out on the city walls on the left and right sides of the city, and the inclined city wall that had been blown up in the middle finally collapsed, and the entire explosion section was full of flying bricks, earth chips and wood, plus the billowing smoke, it was like the end of the world, and Wu Yingqi, the former battalion general of the Wu army, and hundreds of defenders on the middle city wall were also buried alive by countless bricks and stones in an instant.
"Oh no, the earth dragon has turned over, run away!"
"Oh no, this is the earth dragon turning over, hurry up, it's too late if you don't escape."
In this era, people's fear of the unknown is infinite, especially for natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, at this moment the Guan Ning army in Shanhaiguan all thought that it was the punishment of heaven, and countless Wu soldiers cried and shouted to escape to the pass, at this time no one dared to have the courage to stay on the city wall, they just wanted to stay away from this terrifying city gate building.
The city wall that is not more than one and a half zhang wide is completely chaotic, and there are Guan Ning troops running wildly everywhere, people are crowding people, people are pressing people, and constantly the soldiers of the Ning army are squeezed down the city wall, and the soldiers who are squeezed down the city all let out a desperate wail, and the terrible screams make the Guan Ning army in the city panic, in order to escape, some Guan Ning soldiers even waved knives at their comrades, and they didn't care that everyone was still eating with a horse spoon a few hours ago.
Wu Sangui's face will also change greatly, he doesn't understand why the gunpowder of the Shandong army can still explode after pouring so much water, even if you have waterproof the gunpowder, but how does this lead burn, of course, Wu Sangui can't think much at this time, because thousands of Shandong soldiers have already been flattened with firearms, carrying the ladder and rushing towards the gap that was blown open by gunpowder.
"Wu Zhimao, Zhang Guozhu, you quickly organize people to block that opening, otherwise, we will be all finished."
In a panic, Wu Sangui had lost his usual composure, and looked at Wu Zhimao, the deputy general of the middle battalion, and Zhang Guozhu, the former general of the battalion.
"Dashuai, the situation is out of control, let's retreat to Beiguan."
Wu Zhimao looked at it, except for the countless scattered and fleeing soldiers on the head of the city, there was nothing else, and even Yang Chaodong and other Wu generals were surrounded by the chaotic army and could not see their figures, and it was impossible to gather the military horses at this time.
"The town...... This town is not reconciled! ”
Wu Sangui looked at the nearly two-zhang wide city wall that was blown down by the blast, as well as the devastated broken wall at the gap, and he was still unwilling in his heart, this section of the city wall seemed to have been blown up, but the collapsed wall could still cover the archers and firecrackers who had shot, as long as the army was not disturbed, it was not a big problem to hold the city pass.
"Marshal, the soldiers have lost their courage, even most of our family members have run away, and most of the rest have been frightened, if they don't leave, the Shandong army will rush to the city."
Wu Zhimao and Zhang Guozhu glanced at each other, stepped forward to hold up Wu Sangui, who was uncertain, and commanded his soldiers to rush towards the steps of the lower city.
"Wait for us ......!"
Yang Kun and Guo Zhuangtu were also shocked by the chaotic situation, seeing that Wu Sangui was escorted down the city by a group of Guan Ning generals, they followed one by one, if they didn't go, they couldn't go, Li Xingzhi's dog's day said, "If you don't open the city, you will slaughter the city." Only Xie Sixin hesitated, looked at the backs of Wu Sangui and Guo Zhuangtu going down to the city, and went into the city gate building.
"Break the Shanhaiguan Pass and capture Wu Sangui alive!"
"The governor of the capital, those who collude with the eastern captives, Wu Sangui, and the rest of the generals are just coerced by Wu thieves, and now the army is breaking the city, and those who surrender will be spared death, and those who dare to resist will not be killed."
The city was in chaos, but the morale of the Jingbei army under the city was like a rainbow, and the ladders were pushed to the bottom of the Shanhaiguan City, and then the officers and soldiers were heavily hung on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Jingbei Army who followed closely behind jumped on the ladders, brandished long knives, shouted the military order that Li Xingzhi had just issued, and rushed to the city tower.
"The sons and gentlemen rushed up with Ben."
Because of the heavy snow, the full green flag and the Mongolian army flag owners Amba and Alan Chai, as well as Zak and Akema, who returned to the Shanhaiguan camp, rode horses and danced swords one by one, and when they rushed to the city in the new four towns, they also led their troops to rush up, and their target was the gap that was nearly two feet open by gunpowder.
This time they originally intended to go outside the mouth to catch some Mongolian Dingkou to supplement the army, who knew that just robbed a small tribe in the Fengning area, they encountered heavy snow, so that this time out of the customs is in vain, An Ba and others all held a bad breath, this will be the Shanhaiguan city wall was blown down, they are full of strength, to vent this breath to the Guanning army that dares to resist.
"Those who vote live, and those who stand die ......!"
"The Metropolitan Governor has the order, those who collude with the Eastern Captives, Wu Sangui also, and the rest of the generals are just coerced by Wu thieves, and now the army is broken through the city, and those who surrender will be spared death, and those who dare to resist will be killed
Without encountering any resistance, the officers and men of Xinsi Town climbed the four-and-a-half-zhang high city wall of Shanhaiguan, and then rushed towards the chaotic Guanning army under the leadership of the town general Liu Wenxiu, deputy generals Ma Sande and Zheng Qian.
"Don't kill us, we're down."
"We are willing to be ordered by the Grand Governor."
A large area, a large area, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the officers and men of the Guanning Army, who could not find the soldiers, saw the Jingbei Army going to the city, but as if they had found the backbone, they knelt down in front of the Jingbei Army who rushed to the city.
"General Yang, what should we do?"
Dozens of Guan Ning soldiers who were squeezed in the corner of the city tower by the chaotic soldiers all turned their heads to look at Yang Chaodong, the general of the right battalion of the Wu army, who was guarded by his own soldiers.
"What to do? Cold! The handsome don't know where the fuck went, if we still want to resist, wouldn't we be looking for death, alas...... We just don't know if we can see Ning Yuan's wife and children in this life. ”
Yang Chaodong reluctantly put down the knife, and learned from the crowd of Guanning troops who knelt on the ground in front of him and begged for mercy, and knelt to the ground in despair, he knew that in the case of the loss of Shanhaiguan, the only way out for Wu Sangui was to surrender to the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong.
