Chapter 127: Don't put too much in the explosives bag
The general who defended the city was called Gang'an, although he didn't know what the Ming army was carrying, and he didn't know what these dozens of people could do when they came over.
But now that people have come to me, it would be rude not to fight again.
"Shoot the arrows!"
As soon as Gang An gave the order, the archers took advantage of the gap in the artillery attack to shoot at the small group.
The rain of arrows rose into the air, but the group did not stop for the slightest, and the bows and arrows did not have the slightest effect on their blast-proof armor.
Seeing that the bows and arrows did not work, the guards on the walls ordered the musketeers to come forward and fire a volley at the squad.
This time, the team stopped, quickly raised the shield in their hand, and the buckshot crackled on the shield, but it all bounced away, and still did not cause any casualties.
Gangan and his men were stunned.
This is a shield?
Transparent?
If Zhu Youzhen was by his side, he would definitely whisper to him in his ear.
I'm sorry, I'm an explosion-proof shield. And the evening customized! There are also four big characters on it!
Both muskets and bows slowed down the team's march slightly, and soon the team was outside the city walls.
The soldiers on the walls no longer attacked.
One by one, with a question mark in their hearts, they looked at the fifty heavily armed Ming soldiers.
Don't bring any knives!?
What is this for?
Bang on the door? You can't even cross the moat, okay?
Next, the actions of the Ming army made them even more confused.
I saw them stand their shields on the ground, squat on the ground, untie the small baggage behind them, and brush the thread on it. He took out a small object from his bosom.
"Ignition!"
The soldiers at the head of the city seemed to hear a neat click.
The soldiers with good eyesight saw the small thing in their hands burst into blue fire.
What's this?
Off-site commentator Zhu Youzhen should have appeared at this time.
"It's a lighter. Windproof! ”
The lighter ignited the fuse, and the little baggage began to smoke!
Gunpowder?
Did it work?
Our gates were three feet high, two feet wide, and one foot thick, and were covered with iron sheets. How much gunpowder can you hold in this little baggage?
"Throw!"
Fifty men stood up from behind their shields and threw their burdens at the gates.
"Run!"
Then he took his shield and turned around and ran.
A series of operations to see the soldiers at the head of the city are confused.
Zhang Zhiji held the binoculars and looked at the demolition team that successfully dropped the explosive package, and he didn't know how powerful the explosive package that His Majesty had repeatedly told him to be careful could be.
"Boom!"
A deafening sound came from the gates of the city, and the smoke of the explosion rose into the sky, shaking the defenders who were a little closer to the head of the city. When everything calmed down, Gang'an, who was knocked to the ground, spat out the dust in his mouth and looked at the deputy on the side.
"What is this, this is ??"
"What do you say?"
"I say this! Be! What!? ”
"I'm talking about you! Say! What!? ”
Yes, the brain is buzzing, and I can't hear anything.
Then he stood up and looked out of the city, and the Ming army on the opposite side did not move. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked left and right.
It doesn't matter.
What about the city gatehouse?
The gate tower collapsed.
It's a shame that I didn't stand on the tower of the city gate. Otherwise, where is the life!?
After the smoke cleared, Zhang Zhiji finally saw the condition of the city gate through the telescope.
the groove.
What about the door?
Where is the door at this time!?
The gatehouse collapsed and blocked the door tightly.
Zhang Zhiji had a pain in his eggs. No wonder His Majesty said that this explosive bag is extremely powerful, and you must be cautious when using it.
"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"
Fifty explosives bags have blown up the city gates, and how can you attack the city?
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhiji commanded the army to spare a circle and came to the south gate.
Be careful this time, just use thirty explosives packs.
So the demolition team sprang into action again. Carrying a shield and carrying a bag of explosives, he ran to the gate of the city.
"Stop them!" Just in a hurry. There are few people this time, and they clearly want to blow up the city gate! Fifty thousand Ming troops entered the city, and they all had to die.
For a moment, there was a rain of arrows and buckshot crackling on the shield.
But the problem is that it's useless.
The demolition team is at the gate again, squat, light the fire, throw, run! Coherent.
The soldiers at the gates were experienced this time, and they were faster than the demolition squad throwing explosive packs.
Just to stay away from the city gates.
It turned out that they had made the right choice, and although there were only thirty explosives packs this time, the gate tower was still not saved, and after a loud bang, it collapsed.
Zhang Zhiji was speechless.
Couldn't be more wrong. The four city gates were blown up, and if they blew up again, they would not be able to attack the city.
Ten!
Couldn't be more.
As long as you can blow the gates open!
Yue is he once again ordered the troops to spare a circle and came to the east gate.
Gang'an mobilized the soldiers defending the city with the transfer of the Ming army. But I don't have any confidence in defending the city at all. If such a little burden is thrown into the crowd, he will still spank himself.
In fact, he was really overthinking.
The explosives pack, while powerful, are only for buildings. A five-kilogram explosive pack has a radius of only four and a half meters in an open area, which is not as large as a 70-gram fragmentation grenade. This is the attention that Zhu Youzhen specially came up with for the siege of the city, the space of the city gate hole is relatively airtight, and no matter how thick the city gate is, it can't stop a lot of explosives packed with TNT, right?
The third time
Ten packets of explosives finally blew open the city gates. This was because the explosives pack did not cling to the city gates.
"General! The gates of the city have been blown open! ”
A soldier ran up the wall at a rapid pace to report to Gang'an.
Gang Anyin's face nodded.
I guessed with my toes, can't I blow up a city gate after the city gate tower has collapsed?
"What should we do, General, let's run!?"
Run?
He wants to run, where is he going?
Break through, it's too late to wait for the Ming army to enter the city.
Gang'an ordered the opening of the north gate.
Will Zhang Zhiji give him a chance to break through?
No.
Outside the east and north gates, 20,000 soldiers each stood by.
10,000 musketeers in front, 10,000 musketeers in the rear. Ten thousand dragoons waited in the northeast corner.
Gang'an ordered the North Korean soldiers to rush in front to open the way, while the Eight Banners soldiers were hiding behind the North Korean soldiers, intending to use the North Korean soldiers to consume the opponent's firepower, and the Eight Banners soldiers would take advantage of the chaos to break through.
Gang'an's methods are very clever, and his ideas are also very correct.
The only thing that is not correct is the Minie rifle that should not be in this world.
The North Korean soldiers fell piece by piece, and at first the Eight Banners Governor Squadron behind them still started to play. In the back, you just hack me to death, I won't rush.
Zhang Zhiji saw through the binoculars that the North Korean soldiers were cowering.
Command someone to shout at them!
"North Korean soldiers surrender and don't kill!"
The shouts of tens of thousands of people echoed in the sky, and the North Korean soldiers heard it.
Daming's father said, surrender and don't kill. Then I'm still going to follow you guys? It doesn't have to be dead.
The shouts of the Ming army were also heard by the Eight Banners.
Saying that, they also want to surrender.
But the problem is that people only said that the North Korean soldiers surrendered and did not kill, but did not say that the Eight Banners soldiers surrendered and did not kill. How do you Ming Army treat you differently!?
The North Korean soldiers are about to run, and the Eight Banners soldiers are not happy.
If you run away, we will die.
Can't run.
One to go, one to stay.
At this time, the bloody nature of the Korean soldiers also came out. You dog Tartars, you used to bully us, but now my dad is here and bullying us! Don't even let you run?
"these dogs! Enough is enough! ”
"That's right! Kill them! ”
More than 10,000 Korean soldiers fought with the Eight Banners.
The Ming army on the periphery was stunned for a moment, which one is this?
The arrival of the Ming army increased the confidence of the Korean soldiers, but did not increase their combat effectiveness. Soon he was defeated and retreated by the 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers.
In desperation, I had to run to the east gate.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gang'an ordered the soldiers to withdraw to the city.
"General, what should I do?"
Seeing that the Ming army had entered the city, a general of the Eight Banners ran over and asked Gang'an what to do.
Gang'an is in turmoil at the moment, how can he know what to do!
"Fight with the Ming army."
So he organized manpower and began to fight in the streets with the Ming army entering the city.
The problem was that the cavalry and musketeers, who were less mobile and flexible, did not enter the city at all. Only 20,000 infantry entered the city.
But even so, 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers in explosion-proof armor cried and cried for their mothers.
The battle ended in the early afternoon.
Although the Ming army was well equipped, the counterattack of the Eight Banners in the street battle still caused certain casualties to the Ming army. When the post-war inventory was made, it was found that the five battalions had lost five or six hundred infantry.
However, this casualty is already very small, basically one for ten.
Zhang Zhiji ordered people to blockade the entire city of Yiju and stationed here. He cut off the heads of the Eight Banners and made a Beijing view by the Yalu River.
For he had heard from his father that His Majesty seemed to like it very much.
Looking at the stacked heads of Jingguan, a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
He seems to like it, too.
At this time, the people in the city of Uiju were in a state of extreme panic.
I don't know what kind of bad luck has fallen in the past two years, a small Yizhou, this hit that fight.
Zhang Zhi ordered people to gather the people in the city together.
Get ready for an impassioned speech.
