Chapter 237: Tricked Again!

There was a scream, and a Ming soldier thirty paces away immediately fell to the ground with an arrow.

"Bang Bang!" The sound of the bowstring vibrating continuously sounded from behind Shi Tu, and you didn't need to look back to guess that it was the banner man who was following him who had rushed up and was throwing arrows at the Ming army in the gap in the inner city wall.

More bannermen rushed past them and slaughtered towards the gap.

In the gap ahead, more than a dozen Ming soldiers who had just emerged were shot and killed in an instant.

For these Eight Banners, the distance of thirty steps is simply for nothing.

"Die, you Ming Dynasty dogs!" Shi Tu smirked and pulled out his bow again.

Then the next moment, the smile on Shi Tu's face froze in an instant, what the hell is this?

Because at this moment, a huge "giant shield" suddenly appeared in the gap in the inner city wall, and this giant shield was so big that it easily blocked the entire gap!

The length of this "giant shield" is not clear, and the head and tail cannot be seen after the gap is plugged anyway.

But the height of this "giant shield", the stone map can really be seen, and it is a foot high! Good fellow, what kind of giant shield is this, it's clearly a wooden wall!

And it's a movable wooden wall!

"Stop them!" Shi Tu suddenly roared hysterically.

"Stop them quickly, you must not let them plug the gap, stop them quickly!"

The dozens of bannermen who had just rushed into the urn city howled and rushed towards the gap in the inner city with their swords, trying to prevent the Ming army from fixing the giant shield in the gap in the inner city wall.

However, it was too late, and the sound of whistling could be heard through the wooden walls.

Just by listening to these sounds, you know that it is the Ming army that is hammering wooden stakes.

If the Ming army was allowed to hammer the wooden stakes used to fix the wooden walls into the ground, then with only dozens or even hundreds of bannermen, it would be impossible to knock them down.

However, the speed of the flag is also very fast.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bannermen took the lead in rushing to the wooden city wall, and pushed together first, without moving.

Without the slightest hesitation, more than a dozen bannermen immediately set up a human ladder in pairs, preparing to act as a human ladder for the bannermen who arrived later, so that their companions could step on the human ladder they had set up to attack.

However, at this moment, a row of holes suddenly appeared in the wooden wall.

Immediately, more than a dozen spears poked out of the hole and stabbed Qiding.

Thanks to the fact that most of the flagmen were wearing chain mail, there was no big problem, but they were also stabbed to the ground by surprise, and the follow-up flags could not step on the human ladder to attack.

After a moment's delay, the wooden wall that was blocked in the gap suddenly grew taller!

I saw that the wooden city wall, which was originally only one zhang high, suddenly doubled in height and became at least two zhang high!

Well, it's not that it's growing taller, it's that there is another wooden wall superimposed on the wooden wall, and the middle is fixed with a tenon rivet.

Immediately, the sound of piling and the creaking of wooden beams supporting the wooden wall sounded continuously, and the two wooden walls immediately clung to the inner wall.

Hearing this movement, even through the wooden city wall, the stone map can be imagined,

At this moment, there must have been hundreds of wooden beams diagonally supported behind the wooden walls.

So at this time, they alone are already powerless, and I'm afraid that only the red-coated cannon can blast through this wooden city wall again!

Thinking of this, Shi Tu did not hesitate anymore.

At that moment, Shi Tu shouted loudly: "Return!" ”

However, at this time, I remembered to retreat, but it was already a little late.

As soon as the stone map finished speaking, bundles of straw, wheat straw, and dry firewood were thrown down from the inner city wall, the outer city wall on both sides of the gap, and even the moving wooden city wall.

"Hurry back!" Seeing this, the child's hole in the stone map instantly shrank sharply.

I have to say that Shi Tu and the Eight Banners have already caused the Ming army in Shanyang City to burn out the shadows.

All the Eight Banners turned around and scrambled to retreat into the gap in the outer city wall, and almost at the same time, hundreds of torches were thrown down from the city, and the fire burst into flames.

Together, the fire quickly spread in the urn city.

It stands to reason that even if there are incendiary materials such as straw, wheat straw, and dry firewood, the fire will not be so strong.

"Entering the mother thief, and the calculation of the Ming dog again!" Shi Tu reacted immediately, and the underground in the urn city must have been buried in advance with sulfur fire and other flammable materials, and maybe gunpowder was also laid!

Because Shi Tu clearly smelled the smoke of gunpowder burning!

In short, the fire filled the entire urn city almost instantly.

Shi Tu looked forward in horror, and only a red patch remained in his field of vision.

Even so, Shi Tu didn't dare to stop, so he could only run forward.

In the midst of the frantic running, Shi Tu could clearly feel that his back, legs, arms, and stomach were already on fire, and the flames ignited his cotton armor, which penetrated through the chain mail, and roasted his heart with pain.

……

Before the fire, Duoduo was outside the city chatting and laughing with Shang Kexi.

Duoduo said: "Needless to say, Yan Yingyuan's wisdom is the only one seen in the life of this king, but in the face of a siege weapon like a red-clothed cannon, any wisdom is useless. ”

Shang Kexi said: "The wisdom of the prince is also beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

"King Zhishun, you have a good reputation." Duoduo laughed and said, "However, Yan Yingyuan simply admitted defeat so simply, which really disappointed this king, and this king thought that he could play more tricks......"

At this point, Dodor's voice suddenly paused, and then he looked straight ahead.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" Shang Kexi looked in the direction of Duoduo's gaze, and then also sighed softly, "Hey, why is it on fire?" Supposedly not? ”

How can you set fire to the robbery before it has started?

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi was suddenly startled, shouldn't it?

Dodor also thought of this possibility, and his heart immediately brought up.

At that moment, Duoduo didn't have the heart to chat with Shang Kexi, so he quickly opened the telescope and aimed it at the gap.

With the help of the monoculars, Duoduo could clearly see the gap, but only to see that the gap had been completely engulfed by the fire.

In a few moments, one after another rushed out of the gap, only to see that all of them were covered with fire.

One of the bannermen had already escaped from the gap, but he still couldn't bear the severe pain of the fire, and fell to the ground and let out a series of wails, rolling and trying to extinguish the fire on his body, but it was in vain.

After a few moments, all that remained was a slight twitch, and finally there were no more convulsions.

The corners of Duoduo's mouth also began to twitch, and there seemed to be a roar in the void: Yan Yingyuan! The thief set fire again!

……

The fire lasted almost half an hour.

The fire was extinguished, and the sky was completely dark.

Because by this time it was already dark.

Looking at the remnants of the flames that had not been completely extinguished below, Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "Erdan, let the artillery team set up all the tiger squat cannons on the inner city wall, and all the musketeers will also go up to the city wall, block the gap in the outer city wall, ensure that the Jiannu do not sneak attack from the gap in the city wall, and then let the people repair the gap in the city wall overnight, not only the inner city wall, but also the gap in the outer city wall." ”

"You don't need to build too high, it's enough to be two feet high, and you don't need to build too strong."

"It's okay to be able to hold the Hongyi cannon for a few days, I don't believe it, how many days does Jiannu still consume?"

Speaking of this, Yan Yingyuan turned his head again and looked outside the city, would Jiannu dare to come again?

……

"Master, the slave is guilty of death."

Shi Tu fell to his knees with a pop and fell in front of many pairs.

"Get up, it's not your fault." "You've done your best. ”

Shi Tu got up slowly, and roared with red eyes: "Master, after breaking the city, the slave asked for Yan Yingyuan, a thief, and he must be cut with a thousand knives to eliminate the hatred in his heart!" ”

"Yes." Dodor said with a dark face, "If the city is really broken, this king will allow you to cut it alive." ”

The battle of Shanyang has been fought until now, and Duoduo has also been beaten out of the real fire, and this king still doesn't believe it, just one Shanyang City, can it really stop this king's army?

"The Point Guard Is Here"

After a pause, Duoduo asked again, "Shitu, what happened just now?" ”

Shitu told Dodor the scene they had encountered as they rushed through the gap in the wall and into the urn city.

"A wooden wall? Still able to move? Dodor frowned and asked, "I don't know the length, but at least a foot in height?" ”

"Yes, a wooden wall that moves." After Shitu finished speaking, he briefly described the appearance of the wooden city wall.

After hearing this, Hou Fangyu's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Lord Wang, it may not be a wooden city wall, but a boat from the Yamen of the Governor of Hecao." ”

"You say it's a boat?" Dodor asked.

"Xiao Sheng suspects yes." Hou Fangyu said, "Because Nanming's boat shape is about seven zhang long and one zhang wide, and the draft depth is between three and five feet. ”

Hearing this, not only Duoduo, but also Tunqi, Ah Shan, He Luohui and others' faces instantly became extremely embarrassed.

Because the shape and size of these boats are simply ready-made wooden walls, it is suitable to fill the gaps in the walls that have been blasted by the Hongyi cannons, and they are repaired very quickly.

As long as the boat is erected horizontally and supported, can it not be happy?

Duoduo even thought of another serious and strict question: "Hou Fangyu, you said before how many cao ships are there in Shanyang?" ”

Hou Fangyu said without thinking: "The specific number is not clear, there must be more than five hundred, maybe there are thousands, because Shanyang is the place where the Yamen of the Governor of Hecao is stationed." ”

Duoduo's face instantly turned black to the bottom of the pot.

More than 1,000 boats, more than 1,000 movable wooden walls, so there is still a turtle hair?

They finally used red-coated artillery to open a gap, but the Ming army easily filled it with boats, and by the way, they were given another wave of fire attacks, who could afford it?

The Battle of Sanyo has continued until now, how many people have they died?

Fifteen Niu Lu and more than 4,500 bannermen have been killed in the battle!

It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, I have already killed so many bannermen!

In addition, more than 5,000 coats were killed in the battle, adding up to tens of thousands! Heaven damn Yan Yingyuan!
