Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Explosion
To be honest, the soldiers under Gao Jie are not optimistic about using gunpowder to blow up the city wall.
Although black gunpowder can ignite as a helper, the real power of the cannons and bullets are cannons.
There are examples to use heavy artillery to bombard the city walls, but it is unheard of to use gunpowder to bomb the city directly.
However, Gao Jie is their commander, so the soldiers naturally would not question the commander's orders.
It’s just that more people look forward to the development of things with a mentality of watching the excitement.
The gold and jade on the top of the city were even confused by the maze array set up by the Ming army.
At the same time, Mingjun wanted to do more than a dozen authentic tunnels?
But the problem is that it takes a long time to dig tunnels, which can be a month, and how much energy does it take to dig more than a dozen tunnels at the same time?
How could the Ming army launch a frontal attack under such circumstances?
In the final analysis, acupoint attack is just an auxiliary means, and it often achieves miraculous results with a frontal attack. However, if you give up a frontal attack, you can easily be targeted by simply relying on acupoint attack.
Logically speaking, Gao Jie is also a general, but he doesn’t understand such a simple truth?
Jin Yuhe couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the more tricks Gao Jie made, the more beneficial it would be to Jin Yuhe.
The small mounds piled up by the Ming army are not far from the city wall, so the movements of the Ming army soldiers can be clearly seen.
He saw the Ming soldiers lifting the coffin into the tunnel, thinking that this must be an attempt to hollow out the city foundation, use the coffin to support it, and then burn the coffin with a fire, causing the city foundation to collapse.
But is the coffin a little too big? Generally, this effect can be achieved by just using wooden stakes. And there is no need to transport the coffin in so early.
Jin Yuhe immediately ordered the soldiers stationed on the inside of the city wall to be on standby at any time. When the soldiers in the water tank heard the movement, they drew water into the tunnel and drowned the Ming dogs.
However, what Jin Yuhe felt difficult to understand was that these Ming soldiers evacuated shortly after carrying the coffin into the tunnel.
Jin Yu and his eyes were staring like cowbells, and they couldn't believe everything they saw.
As far as he knows, it will take at least ten days and half a month to completely dig the city foundation. The Ming army dug a tunnel in total for two or three days. How could it be possible to dig the city foundation so shallow?
Even though Gao Jie was too confused, wouldn’t the other generals in his army be persuaded?
Before Jin Yuhe could laugh at Gao Jie's stupidity, he heard a loud bang.
The earth seemed to tremble, stones and rubble flew, and the antelope soared up and made people covered in dust.
Jin Yuhe was so choked that she coughed and lay on the ground under the escort of her personal soldiers.
After a while, when the smoke and dust disappeared, he stood up tremblingly.
Did the earth move just now?
Although Jin Yuhe has not experienced earth movements personally, he has also heard from the elderly.
It is said that the ground will completely crack when the earth moves. No matter whether it is the shabby houses where ordinary people live or the mansions full of carved beams and painted buildings, they will collapse and collapse.
The scene just now looks so similar to the ones when the earth moves.
"Look at General Jin, the city wall has collapsed!"
A soldier had a sharp-eyed eye and saw a huge gap in the city wall more than ten steps away through the smoke and dust.
The gap was three meters wide, and this section of the city wall collapsed to the inside as a whole. Although it did not completely collapse, a slope appeared for soldiers to rush to death.
Jin Yuhe was very shocked. If the Ming army used this sudden slope to launch a charge, it would be difficult for the Green Camp under his command to resist it.
"Hurry, go to the gap and repair an inner wall."
For the present plan, the only way is to build an inner wall before the Ming army launched a charge. This temporary inner wall is definitely not as strong as the city wall itself, but it is better than nothing. It can eventually cause some difficulties to the charging Ming army.
Amid the roar of Jin Yuhe, the Qing army's green camp soldiers drove the strong men to the gap to build the inner wall.
They had just arrived at the gap and before they could carry the stones, the giant tree heard another loud bang.
Immediately afterwards, the ground trembled, stones and sand flew, and smoke and dust rolled up into people's eyes and mouths.
It's exactly the same as the scene just now!
The soldiers and the soldiers of the Green Camp were both frightened and lie down with their heads in their arms.
When they could open their eyes, they found another gap in the city wall about 150 steps away to the east.
Jin Yu and his face were pale on the top of the city. Before they could make instructions, they heard loud noises one after another.
In less than half a stick of incense, there were more than a dozen loud noises. Each time the earth would tremble, followed by bricks, stones, rubble and yellow dust. After all this, a huge gap would appear on the city wall.
After all this, at least two or three gaps appeared on each wall on Kaifeng City. Although it was not said to be full of holes, it was also very terrifying.
"This is a damn thing!"
Jin Yuhe Zhi was furious. He was dissatisfied. If Gao Jie had not been lucky for three or two months, he would not have the chance to conquer Kaifeng City.
But after this series of earth movements, the majestic Kaifeng City seemed to have become a little lady in a gauze. Facing a strong man like a wolf or a tiger, wouldn’t it be the only way to be crushed under him?
Could it be that God wants to destroy me?
Jin Yuhe gritted his teeth and was ready to fight to the death. The trapped beast was still fighting, and he could not admit defeat so easily.
Jin Yuhe has a strong command ability in front of the battle. With his allocation, 30,000 Green Camp soldiers were equally divided into each gap to guard them.
Now there is definitely no time to build the inner wall, but the city wall has not completely collapsed, and the Green Camp soldiers can still have a certain advantage in the city from a high point.
Although there are more than a dozen gaps, each one is not particularly wide, and one or two thousand people are enough to guard it.
Gradually, Jin Yuka calmed down. He found that the situation was not so bad that it was uncontrollable, so he didn't have to rush to commit suicide by slashing his sword.
What surprised Jin Yuhe even more was that the Ming army did not seem to be in a hurry to launch an offensive. This gave Jin Yuhe enough time to mobilize troops.
And in the Ming army's central tent not far away, Gao Jie was also stunned.
"Your mother, this gunpowder is so powerful when it is packed in the coffin."
He ordered the soldiers to dig the tunnel and send the coffin filled with gunpowder into the tunnel and buried it just to make a move so that His emperor could have a good life.
In his opinion, a mouthful of gunpowder from the coffin could not shake the strong city foundation at all.
Who would have thought that after igniting the lead, it made more than a dozen loud noises in succession, and the surrounding area of Kaifeng City seemed to collapse.
After the yellow dust dissipated, more than a dozen gaps appeared on the walls of Kaifeng City a week announced the success of the improved attack.
However, Gao Jie was completely unprepared at this time, so he did not order the soldiers to launch an attack immediately after the city wall was blown down.
It was Li Chengdong who came forward and reminded: "Master, please order the siege!"
