Chapter 2: Plan to Bomb the City(1/2)
"Boy, you said you have a good idea to destroy the city, but it's true?"
"Yes, the little ones do have a way to break the city."
Qin Yu quickly replied, but missed the word "relax". He must be the guy in front of him, who was definitely one of the two shit-making sticks in the late Ming Dynasty.
Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong.
And the four teenagers around him are probably his four adopted sons.
Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, of course, most of them still have their surnames Zhang now.
"Speak quickly, what's the solution?"
Zhang Xianzhong's eyes lit up, with some expectations.
In the big defeat in Nanyang more than half a month ago, the old brother lost seven or eight out of ten, and he was injured himself. Now Gucheng has been unable to capture it for a long time, and his morale has fallen to the bottom.
"Master, is there any gunpowder in the army?"
"gunpowder?"
"Hmph! Could your method be to bombard the city with cannons?"
Zhang Xianzhong's face was disappointed, his tone suddenly became stern, and his hands holding the hilt tightened. If there were cannons, why would he have to wait until now?
"No, no, no cannon, just gunpowder is enough, the more the better." Qin Yu waved his hand quickly to explain, fearing that he would be chopped if he was half a beat slower.
"Oh? Just gunpowder is enough?"
"Yes, the king."
"Entertainment father, this kid is obviously afraid of death and does not want to attack the city, so he talks nonsense here. It's getting late, so he's better to cut it with one knife. This time, the child will lead the team himself and will definitely capture this Gucheng."
The young man who escorted Qin Yu over raised the knife in his hand impatiently, with a look of evil spirits. This person was Zhang Xianzhong's best-selling descendant Kewang.
"Let's go, brother, even if we attack like this, we will suffer heavy losses. Why don't you let this kid try it? It's not too late to attack again if you don't."
The boy standing on Zhang Xianzhong's right suggested.
This young man is brave and handsome, only sixteen or seventeen years old. He is Zhang Xianzhong's second adopted son Li Dingguo.
"Um!"
Zhang Xianzhong looked at Qin Yu again and saw that although he was thin, his eyes were bright and vivid, so he should not be an ordinary peasant child.
So he nodded and asked at Sun Kewang: "How much gunpowder is there in the camp?"
"Return to the adoptive father, there is still a barrel left."
"What happened? Why is there only such a little left?" Zhang Xianzhong frowned. Although they did not have firearms, they also knew how powerful the firearms were, so the gunpowder they seized would be preserved every time.
"The adoptive father, it rained heavily a while ago, and the others were wet on the road. Please forgive me for your sins."
Sun Kewang bowed and clasped his fists and explained.
Although Zhang Xianzhong was a little angry, he did not scold him, but looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Is a bucket enough?"
"Enough is enough."
Can he say it's not enough?
Isn't it enough to mean that he is useless?
...
After a while, Sun Kewang brought his men to carry a bucket of gunpowder, a half-person-high soy sauce jar, a wheelbarrow, a cowhide, and a few bags of mud and sand.
The gunpowder was about a hundred pounds. Qin Yu checked it and didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he stuffed it into the soy sauce celestial.
Then seal the hole and stuff it tightly, leaving only a fuse, then fix the soy sauce altar on the wheelbarrow, cover it with cowhide, and pile it with a few mud bags.
He clasped his fists: "King, when siege, you only need to send a team of elite deaths to push the car to the city gate and ignite the leads, and you will surely explode the city gate."
"Boy, the back of the city gate is probably filled with bricks and stones by the official army. How can a mere 100 kilograms of gunpowder be blown open?"
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the wheelbarrow and said skeptical.
Qin Yu didn't expect this, but he must not be guilty at this time. He quickly patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, even if you can't blow up the city gate, the movement will scare the defenders in the city. Our army will take the opportunity to fight and will definitely kill the city top."
"Yeah! It makes sense."
Zhang Xianzhong thought for a moment and nodded, "Boss, you personally lead the team to bomb the city gate, and you will be awarded your first contribution after breaking the city."
"Yes! The adoptive father."
Sun Kewang's face twitched and he felt very hatred, but he had to bite the bullet and answer.
"Children, who is the first to kill the city, and reward 100 taels of silver, one chicken, and one beauty, kill me!"
"Kill!"
"Run!"
With Zhang Xianzhong shouting loudly, more than 10,000 young and strong men carried the ladders and rushed forward shouting.
Sun Kewang followed behind the charge crowd with thirty elite soldiers wearing armor.
Qin Yu thought he didn't have to attack the city anymore, but the fact is that he was thinking too much.
Waving wooden sticks mixed with them, running among the crowd, fortunately, they were crowded and felt a lot of security.
"Slay these thieves to death!"
"Smash it hard for me!"
"ah!"
"oops…"
"My eyes..."
When the young and strong people rushed across the moat and came to build a ladder under the wall, countless thunderstones smashed down hard, and the young and strong people had their brains burst, and the red and white splashed all over the floor.
The hot dung every time it pours on, it will cause a shrill scream.
A wooden ladder was overturned, and the people on it hit the ground, with broken bones and broken tendons.
For a moment, screams and howlings were everywhere.
"rush!"
"Roar up, if you want to survive, rush up."
Qin Yu hid behind several big men and shouted fiercely than anyone else, but he didn't see anyone moving forward. He was short and no one noticed him.
boom!
Just as the young and strong man couldn't bear it and was about to escape again, a shocking sound came, and everyone felt a shaking wave and fell to the ground one after another.
A huge black mushroom cloud rose above the city gate, and the two city gates were blown into pieces, and some of the bricks and stones piled up behind them collapsed.
After the defenders on the wall got up, they were all stunned by this scene.
This time, Qin Yu was the first to jump up from the ground and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The city gate has been blown open, brothers, rush for me!"
"Run!"
The hundreds of knives were told in advance, and Qin Yu reacted as soon as he shouted and got up and rushed up.
They held their waists and knives, held the shield in one hand and held the wooden ladder in the other, and quickly climbed up.
The young and strong men also had a great morale. They howled and got up and followed. They hid back just now, but now they are rushing to climb the ladder.
I heard that the city gates were blown open, and the defenders on the wall were already panicked, and the soldiers of the thousand guards fled the fastest.
As the backbone of the rebel army killed the city, the temporary guards and constables also fled.
No one is willing to work hard. As long as you hide in the city and take off your clothes, you will transform into a special rebel army and make money.
Qin Yu spent a lot of effort to squeeze under the city wall and climbed up to the top of the city along the wooden ladder. After Qin Yu climbed to the top of the city, there was no Ming army, and only corpses were left on the ground.
I wanted to pick up a weapon, but found that there was nothing at all.
At this time, the city was in chaos, and the streets were filled with people fleeing their lives and rebels chasing them.
What's going on is a mess.
Qin Yu did not delay, followed a team of young men down the stairs and went down the city wall.
When I arrived outside a grand mansion, I saw more than a dozen sword-carrying heroes who were commanding hundreds of young and strong men to hit the gate and joined without hesitation.
"Hurry, hurry up, hit me hard."
"The little girls inside are all tender and tender, just waiting for the man to have fun..."
"Ha ha!"
Amid the rampant laughter of the crowd, the door was knocked open.
More than a dozen sword-carrying heroes rushed in like hungry tigers, and the young and strong men were screaming and unwilling to fall behind.
Soon, screams and silver laughter were everywhere in the yard, and everyone with the handle was killed.
Some went to grab women, while others rushed into the room and rummaged through boxes and cabinets, scattering gold, silver and treasures.
