Chapter 144 Ten thousand catties of explosives

"Amin, don't panic. This is the trap of the Fu Liao army. They try to interfere with our sight. Your strategy is correct. We can keep changing and make the conspiracy of the Fu Liao army completely fail." Da Beile Daishan said in time.

After hearing Dai Shan's words, many Eight Banners officers, including Amin, calmed down a little.

"Yes, our troops can deal with them, so everyone doesn't have to panic!" Haoge also cheered everyone up.

The troops of the four flags of the Later Jin Dynasty were divided into two flags to guard four directions to be impeccable. The troops of the other two flags remained unmoved and were at any time to support any direction!

Below the tall city wall of Shengjing, there were three tunnels that had been suspended, among which the tunnel leading to the city gate started working with all efforts, and quickly approached the city gate from the darkness under the cover of fierce artillery fire and the siege infantry that attracted the attention of the defenders!

"Come on, brothers from Goryeo. After digging through the tunnel, our army leader will reward each of us with three taels of silver. Brother, can you understand? Reward silver, this is a big one!" An officer of the Liao army was swaying in front of them with a silver ingot.

Some Goryeo soldiers who knew Chinese nodded and then passed the news on the word of mouth to the migrant workers who were still trying hard to dig for authentic Goryeo. A few taels of silver was already a considerable income for them, which immediately made these Goryeo migrant workers full of energy! They didn’t have to risk arrows to attack the city, and they could receive a bounty, so why not do it!

The artillery bombarded the Nancheng, plunging the Nancheng into a sea of ​​fire. Two infantry battalions tentatively launched an attack on the Nancheng, attracting the attention of the defenders, and they would not notice the gradually approaching tunnel for a while.

Even so, some arrows and artillery landed near the tunnel at the top of the city, posing a significant threat to the Goryeo soldiers who dug trenches.

"Down with all their efforts to destroy their turrets, don't let their turrets continue to operate!" David Dong personally took charge of the artillery position.

The artillery operation on Shengjing City in the past few days has allowed David Dong to attack the Eight Banners artillery positions with more precision. This time, the firepower is fully opened in order to completely destroy the fortress in Shengjing City and prevent the Jin soldiers from bombing their own explosives.

One cannon roared, and the forts at both corners of Shengjing City were threatened like never before. The artillery of the Fu Liao army landed densely near the fort as if they had eyes.

Even if the protected artillery was not hit head-on, the soldiers carrying ammunition near the artillery could not withstand the intensive shelling, and many soldiers were killed due to the artillery bombardment of the Liao army!

"Damn it! Their artillery is stronger than ours in terms of power and range, and we can only be beaten!" The Eight Banners officers of the fort hid in the bastion in depression, not even their heads were exposed.

The artillery fire of the Fu Liao army was fierce, let alone counterattacking, it would be difficult for even the Fu Liao army infantry that wanted to bombard the siege of the city.

Boom!!! There was a loud bang from the turret! The fire that soared into the sky rushed up, and the entire turret fell into a sky full of fire!

"Hitting their ammunition depot?" David Dong couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the Southeast corner turret that had been chewing for four or five days without completely destroying it.

Almost all the defenders were also attracted by the fires that were trapped in the sky.

"You are all careful to carry it, don't bump it!" Yu Cheng took the opportunity to take a team of soldiers and Wolf to carefully carry explosives in the tunnel.

In order to blast the city gate of Shengjing this time, Chu Yun prepared two carriages of picric acid explosives and thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of black gunpowder. These explosives were carefully transported by the soldiers in the tunnel dug directly to the city gate.

Wolf brought his students from Liaonan whom he trained to risk his life to come to the tunnel to assemble these explosives and detonate. The explosives are not just piled together to detonate. They also have to calculate their power and explosion range. What is even more difficult is to guide the direction of explosives to truly exert the blasting effect of explosives.

Ten thousand kilograms of explosives were transported in the tunnel. The soldiers held shields to block the fire arrows flying around their heads, preventing the fire arrows from detonating the explosives in the tunnel and causing a chain reaction.

Chu Yun was nervously paying attention to the news on the battlefield on the high platform. No news at this time was the best news! Artillery bombed on the battlefield and arrows flew everywhere. Except for the ammunition depot of the southeastern turret in Shengjing City, no explosives were detonated near the tunnel after it was hit and exploded.

"Give up, although I don't know what you are going to do, you can't conquer our Shengjing City in Dajin, because our soldiers of the Eight Banners are fearless." Du Du, the head of the Inlaid White Banner, was taken to the high platform by Chu Yun to "watch the show".

"The Eight Banners soldiers are fearless? Then why are you tied up on this wooden pillar?" Chu Yun waited anxiously and had to use Du Du to relieve his boredom.

Although Du Du was brought to watch the show by Chu Yun, for his own safety, Chu Yun still let the guards see Du Du tied to the platform, making Du Du unable to move.

When Du Du heard Chu Yun's mockery, he was so angry that he smoked his orifices, but he was tied up and could not do anything to Chu Yun, so he had to blew his beard and stare at Chu Yun.

"Where are you children of the Eight Banners fearless?" Chu Yun asked afterwards.

"us……"

Bang! Du Du was about to answer Chu Yun, but before he finished speaking, Chu Yun slapped his face!

"you……"

Bang! Chu Yun slapped again.

"I……"

Bang! Still a slap.

...

Du Du was stunned and was so angry that he understood that Chu Yun didn't want to reason with him at all!

"Military leader, military leader, everything is ready and you will start to explode just by your order!"

After Chu Yun trained Du Du, Yu Cheng came back to find Chu Yun to confirm.

"I finally waited!" Chu Yun shook his palm hard, and it hurts to hit him.

"Yang Tai, Changyi, Xu Ji, you three infantry battalions are ready to attack the city. Yu Cheng, you go back to the tunnel and stand by. When you see the flames on the high platform lit up, you will let the blasting hand start to explode." Chu Yun ordered.

"Haole, let the Jin people drink a pot of big one this time!" Yu Cheng received Chu Yun's instructions and returned to the tunnel with great enthusiasm.

"We will go down and prepare now. Once the matter is done, we will lead the army to attack the city." Yang Tai and three elite infantry battalions including Yang Tai were ready to go.

Now the attack on Nancheng are two infantry battalions of Liu Xingzuo, and the attack on Xicheng are another infantry battalion of Liu Xingzuo, an infantry battalion sent by Xu Jisheng to support and a team supported by the Goryeo army. The real main first brigade is still lurking in the dark outside Nancheng, like a dormant giant beast.

"What do you...you...want to do..." Du Du, with red and swollen faces, asked in panic and confused tone when he saw that the senior officials of the Liao army were confident.

"Wait until you open your eyes and see how Shengjing City surrenders to our tyranny." Chu Yun approached Du Du again.

"You...you demon...stop, don't come over..."
