Chapter 150: The Art of Bombing the City

Soon, nearly 600 cavalry of the Doulong squad were fully equipped and marched towards the northern hills.

Fuzhou is surrounded by hills and mountains, and most of the farmland is in mountain basins and along rivers, and the goal is clear.

Zhang Huangyan knew that he would not be able to take Fuzhou with this amount of troops, and even if he did, he would not be able to hold it, so he did not deliberately protect the cultivated land for future harvesting like when he attacked Jinzhou.

In one afternoon's effort, almost all the cultivated fields 30 miles north of Xiaoshan Mountain have been trampled by countless horses' hooves, and the harvest will be completely wiped out this autumn.

The Han people in Tunzi saw the soldiers in the Ming army costumes "doing evil" in the fields, and they were afraid and couldn't hide.

Only a few bold ones came out to inquire, and after learning that the Ming Dynasty had taken Lushun and was besieging Jinzhou, they immediately went back to tell each other.

Soon, hundreds of Han people wrapped their clothes, put their bags on their backs, wiped their tears, tied up the captives who were guarding them, and pushed them in front of the Ming army.

Zhang Huangyan naturally did not relent, and his hand fell with a knife, avenging the Han people.

After the cheers, the coats went south excitedly.

Zhang Huangyan saw that the Han people were far away, and ordered people to continue to destroy the farmland, and at the same time ignited the tunzi, and the black smoke immediately rushed to the sky.

In the Jianyu fort in the distance, there were soldiers on duty, who saw the black smoke and thought that this side was on fire, so they hurriedly rushed to put out the fire.

I don't want to just bump into the Ming cavalry who came to kill.

As soon as they saw the bright red tasseled helmet, the Eight Banners immediately knew who they were encountering, and they were so small that they turned around and ran away in fright.

Unfortunately, they could not outrun their legs on four hooves, and they were soon caught up and slashed down, and their heads were hung high.

After running for a few hours, they finally saw the real captive, and the soldiers suddenly became excited and began to run harder to the north.

After a stick of incense, after a small long-range shot, they captured a fort again and rescued hundreds of coats.

The rumbling fire burned the evil in the fort, and a black pillar of smoke was added to the land of southern Liaoning.

Zhang Huangyan didn't stop at all, and nearly 600 war horses were divided into 4 horizontal rows, raging north, galloping back and forth between basins one after another.

They deliberately slowed down, hoping that the Jianyu infantry who had gone out of the city to capture the strong men would see the black smoke and come to investigate.

It's a pity that this place is on the south side of Fuzhou, and the pig dog in the mouth of Heluohui did not send anyone over.

In the following hours, Zhang Huangyan's team swept unscrupulously for a whole afternoon.

The forts scattered on the south side of Fuzhou were plundered, the Eight Banners who swore to resist were killed, more than a dozen black flames ascended to the sky, and nearly 10,000 Han people were able to flee south and return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty.

As the sun set, the exhausted Doulong squad took advantage of the afterglow of the sun to burrow into the slightly steep barren mountains on the east side and hide them.

They're going to have a good rest and continue to experience the fun of the saboteur tomorrow.

……

In the evening, outside the city of Jinzhou, the sound of war drums sounded regularly again, and the loud bang of the dong dong startled the mountain birds.

Although the guards in the city were still nervous and vigilant, the people who were on duty were no longer afraid and fell asleep calmly.

In the Ming army, Lin Yuantai, the deputy general of the Fulong squad, was listening to a report on a hundred flags.

"Vice General Lin, the pit under Jinzhou City is almost complete. If there are no big rocks further down, it will be completed in the second half of the night! ”

"Don't be impatient, act carefully, don't let Jianyu hear the movement under the city!" Lin Yuantai instructed.

"Humble duty understands!"

Under the walls of Jinzhou, there were more than 30 Ming troops who took over digging holes.

Under the cover of the drums in the Ming array, they swung their hammers and shovels carefully.

Xu Tianpang slept soundly in the city, and in the past two days, he saw that the Ming army had no reinforcements, and knew that there would be no war tonight.

Tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, your own reinforcements will definitely arrive.

Even if there are not many soldiers and horses in Fuzhou, in three days, the reinforcements from Gaizhou will definitely be able to arrive.

Hold the Golden State with full certainty.

But he was cautious by nature and still didn't dare to be careless, and he went back to sleep after inspecting the defense of the city tonight.

Yinshi, outside the city.

"Deputy General Lin, the four pits have been dug and I have seen them before I was humble, and they fully meet the standards of explosives to bomb the city."

"Did you strictly check the bombing manual?" Lin Yuantai asked.

"Vice General Lin rest assured, the lowly post has been measured with a ruler in the manual, and it is not bad at all!"

Lin Yuantai listened, took out the key, opened the wooden box he was carrying, and carefully opened the lid of the box, which was stacked with a boxy "little quilt".

When Baiqi saw it, he exclaimed: "This is the legendary explosives bag?" How does it look like a quilt? ”

The explosives that can be mass-produced by the Jingshi Arms Bureau are mainly black powder, which must be tightly wrapped with cloth and rope, otherwise it is difficult to produce sufficient destructive power.

Wrapped in a cube shape, just for ease of transport.

In addition, in order to achieve the expected effect of bombing the city, it is necessary to have a suitable detonation position and initial explosion space, which can produce sufficient impact force and maximize the effect on the city wall.

Zhu Youjian had never seen this kind of explosive pack, but he clearly knew the production method and principle, and after the transcription method was handed over to the Arms Bureau, after many experiments, the finished product was finally manufactured.

This time, as a secret weapon, all of them were transported to southern Liaoning with the ship.

Therefore, the Ming army took advantage of the night to continue digging pits under the city in the past two days. Since it was the first time to use explosives packs, Lin Yuantai was very cautious and asked the soldiers to follow the standards given by the Arms Bureau.

Lin Yuantai carefully took out the explosive bag and said, "I haven't seen this thing before, but we should believe in the emperor's new invention!" ”

"Of course!" Baiqi carefully took the explosives bag and handed it to the soldiers one by one.

Soon, the soldiers, dressed in black, once again touched under the city wall and placed more than twenty explosive bags into the dug holes.

Then the long lead wire passed through the bamboo tube, dragged outside, and backfilled the pit with a sufficient amount of stone and soil, and after tamping, he pulled the lead and retreated more than 20 meters.

Baiqi looked at the stars, calculated the time of dawn, and said, "Fire Fold!" Fast. ”。

The soldier quickly pulled out the fire fold, blew out the flames, and lit the twisted leads. Then, as required in the manual, run wildly into the distance with all your might.

In the darkness, more than twenty bright spots sneered, and flew towards the city wall according to their own trajectories.

The guards of the city wall immediately spotted the point of light, lay on the battlements, and looked down.

"Brother Gao, look, what's under the city?"

"Under the city? Hey, how does it look like an arquebus? "One of the soldiers had clearly used an arquebus.

"What the hell is that......?"

Rumble......

More than twenty explosive packets exploded almost simultaneously, and the sound was superimposed, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Bang......

Another loud bang was heard, but much quieter than the previous one.

As soon as the two soldiers who were talking to felt a violent tremor of the city wall under their feet, they heard a deafening noise, and their eardrums almost burst.

As soon as he subconsciously covered his ears, the ground shook and fell down......

In the distance, the Ming soldiers who were running wildly heard the loud noise and looked back.

I saw the red flames rising from the ground, wrapping the entire city wall, and countless gravels shot out in all directions against the backdrop of the firelight!
