After careful analysis, Ye Chen roughly figured out the explosion method of this small "Niwan".

It turned out that the mud ball not only contained medicine but also many fragments, but also the fragments would ejaculate when an explosion occurred.

Therefore, even if the person near Niwan is not directly blown to death, he will be injured by fragments. If the internal organs are damaged, it will be a medicine stone without any treatment.

What a vicious intention!

Ye Chen reported this discovery to Duoduo immediately. Duoduo also fell into silence after hearing this.

Now it is clear that this thing was developed by the Ming army specifically for the Qing army.

Judging from the effect of the explosion, although its absolute power is not as powerful as that of the red-clothed cannon, it can throw multiple at the same time, and its coverage range is only larger than that of the red-clothed cannon.

If the Ming army was allowed to throw such a mud ball, the Eight Banners Warriors would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

But if you stop siege because of fear, Duoduo has no place to save face.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly suggested: "Prince, I think I can make some modifications to the hedge vehicle, so that the damage caused by this mud ball explosion can be reduced."

The so-called rushing car refers to a siege car. Its outside is a pointed top shape, but there is a thick log inside.

When siege, soldiers push the rushing car and use logs, that is, siege hammers, to open the city gate with a log.

Duoduo raised his eyebrows and said, "You are the servant who said it carefully, how do you want to change it?"

Ye Chen had thought about it carefully before he came to see Duoduo, and immediately replied: "When the prince said, I think the bumping wood in the rushing car should be removed and used to mount soldiers. In addition, a thick layer of linoleum should be wrapped on the outside of the rushing car."

"What's the use of this?"

"Prince, after the explosion, this mud ball mainly relies on instant impact force and scattered fragments to injure people. If the rushing car is wrapped with linoleum, it can effectively reduce this damage."

Ye Chen put in some effort and talked freely: "Anyway, these fortresses are very low, and the siege hammers in the rushing car are not useful. It is better to unload them and transport them to the soldiers. This way the soldiers can safely arrive under the fort wall."

"Well, then do as you said. How long will it take to renovate the rusher?"

Since the red-clothed cannon has proven to be ineffective against this strange fortress, Duoduo can only fight with the hand-to-hand combat by piled up people.

However, the lives of the Eight Banners Warriors are very precious, and Duoduo would not want to sacrifice easily if he had no choice.

Especially after suffering a loss, Duoduo did not want to fight an unprepared battle. He did not want to take the initiative to attack the city before the car was renovated.

"Prince, this transformation is fast, two or three days is enough."

In fact, Ye Chen felt that it would be enough to make every effort to transform it for up to one day. But he didn't dare to say too much, otherwise if the transformation was not done well at that time, Duoduo blamed him and it was difficult to explain. Then he said something that would take two or three days.

Duoduo frowned and said, "Are you two or three days? Forget it, then go and transform it quickly. I can't wait to break through these fortresses!"

"Slave obeys the order!"

Ye Chen beat Duoduo and responded happily.

......

......

"Old Geng, where do you want to fight Leling and Haifeng?"

There were dozens of red-clothed cannons in Tianyou's army, so the marching speed was very slow, and now we have reached Cangzhou.

As an old brother I met during the Liaodong period, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming had a good personal relationship.

But no matter how good a personal relationship is, you must make a clear division of responsibilities when fighting.

Take this expedition to Shandong for example. The Regent asked them to attack Haifeng and Leling two important towns. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming had to make distributions.

In other words, brothers can still settle accounts clearly, let alone brothers like them who worship their sons.

"Brother Kong, you can choose one, and let me fight the rest!"

Geng Zhongming controlled the reins with one hand and said proudly.

He was full of confidence in this conquest of Shandong. Not to mention Leling and Haifeng, even Dezhou, Linqing should have done it at will.

After all, this time the Qing army almost transferred all the main forces near Gyeonggi, and there is no reason why they cannot win.

What is the difference between fighting Leling or Haifeng in this case? It is better to sell Kong Youde as a favor.

Furthermore, Kong Youde was indeed Geng Zhongming's eldest brother. During the Dengzhou Rebellion, Kong Youde led the troops, and Geng Zhongming was just his deputy.

Although both of them are now Han vassal kings enthroned by the Qing court, they can be considered equal, but deep down in their hearts Geng Zhongming still feels that he is a head shorter than Kong Youde.

"Haha, look at you, what is this saying."

Kong Youde laughed loudly.

"Well, I'll choose my brother first."

He paused for a moment and then continued: "Leling is closer to Dezhou. If Prince Yu calls him to come over and hurry up, I will fight Leling. Brother Geng, how about you going to fight Haifeng?"

Geng Zhongming secretly cursed the old fox in his heart.

Kong Youde seemed to be thinking about him and took over the offerings of Duoduo as a "die" to drive the cattle and horses, and really wanted to get the opportunity to show off in front of Duoduo.

After all, Texas is a strong city, and Duoduo may not be able to take it down in one breath.

If Duoduo is helpless in the face of Texas and Kong Youde can come in time to play an important role, his position in Duoduo's mind will inevitably be improved.

But Geng Zhongming didn't want to point it out.

First, he didn't want to compete with Kong Youde, and second, he didn't think he was a suitable person to flatter.

But at this point, Kong Youde is very good at it.

Geng Zhongming has a very boring personality, which means he can chat with an old acquaintance like Kong Youde. He just wants to change to someone who is half-baked, and Geng Zhongming doesn't want to say much.

Geng Zhongming would never be able to let him follow Duoduo and flatter him.

"I heard from Brother Kong!"

Geng Zhongming said very readily.

"Good brother!"

Kong Youde patted Geng Zhongming on the shoulder and smiled, "How about we brothers make a bet? Let's see who can break the city first."

Geng Zhongming immediately became energetic: "Okay, what do you say if you win? What do you say if you lose?"

Geng Zhongming is very gambled, and he will definitely be seen wherever there is a bet.

This time, Kong Youde took the initiative to make a bet, and Geng Zhongming was naturally very happy.

Kong Youde thought while stroking his beard. After a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Let's do this, the loser who loses the bet gives 10% of the spoils to the winner of the bet. What do Brother Geng thinks?"

"this......"

Geng Zhongming's brows frowned slightly.

Even people who are addicted to gambling like this have to admit that the gambling is a bit big. Although Haifeng and Leling are not as prosperous as Dezhou and Linqing, they can still find hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. One percent is tens of thousands of taels of silver. If they lose the gambling, the losses will be heavy.

"What, Brother Geng dare not gamble?"

"Whoever says he dares not! Just bet!"

Geng Zhongming became stubborn when he was agitated by Kong Youde and immediately took over the bet.

......
Chapter completed!
