Chapter 184: Blow up your turtle shell for the moon

Seeing this, Zhang Yong wanted to curse himself.

The Ming army was waiting for him here in the Tumo.

Isn't he just throwing himself into the trap?

Although Zhang Yong was not very capable of leading troops, he could tell at a glance that Li Chengdong was a cruel person. All the Ming cavalry were elite.

Not to mention the Green Camp soldiers under his command, even if the elite Han Eight Banners really face this Ming cavalry, they may not be able to win.

The key to being a person is to have self-knowledge and Zhang Yong is very clear about his ability to lead troops.

What else to beat at this time? Let's run away!

Zhang Yong turned the horse's head as fast as possible, thrust the whip hard, and urged the beast under his crotch to run wildly.

The general is the courage of the army.

Seeing that Zhang Yong had no intention of fighting, the Qing army's green camp soldiers also fled one after another.

Although their mounts are average, they are willing to work hard when they detect danger.

Li Chengdong led the cavalry to pursue him, shot over several Qing army green camp soldiers and stopped chasing him, allowing them to escape into the temporary camp built by the city gate.

Zhang Yong fled into the camp in panic and ordered someone to knock on the door.

After the city gate opened, he rode into the city without saying a word.

Zu Kefa stood at the top of the city to supervise the battle and saw clearly what Zhang Yong did.

He immediately called Zhang Yong to his side and scolded him.

Zu Kefa scolded him very badly, and occasionally greeted Zhang Yong's female relatives in Liaodong dialect. Some of them were simply unpleasant to use.

All the generals looked at each other, and it was obvious that the General was really angry this time.

Zhang Yong lowered his head, looking like an angry young wife.

Zu Kefa did not leave any face for him, and he was really cowardly as a deputy general.

Zu Kefa scolded him enough, and panted with his hands on his waist and said, "Those thieves clearly want to protect the mound. It seems that they really want to use the authenticity to create some good fortune."

He said this to both the generals and to himself.

He has always been reluctant to believe in the statement that the Ming army exploded the city wall. The city wall is so strong that if it could be easily exploded, why would the siege rely on human life to fill it?

This must be a rumor spread by the Ming army, and I want to use this to shake the morale of the Qing army.

"I will think they probably want to dig tunnels into the city."

"The General is wise."

As soon as Zu Kefa finished speaking, the generals started to flatter.

"The last thing is to see that the mound is opposite the city wall, so the Ming thieves must want to dig tunnels to transport the thieves into the city. Otherwise, if they want to dig a collapsed city foundation, they should dig tunnels to the corner of the city!"

Zhang Yong endured the embarrassment and clasped his fists at Zu Kefa.

"kindness."

Zu Kefa also felt that he had scolded Zhang Yong so hard that he was willing to make up for it. He cleared his throat and said, "Deputy General Zhang said it well. Since that's the case, all we have to do is to dig a canal along the inner wall of the city wall and place a water tank every twenty steps to listen to the sound. If Ming Thief approaches the city wall, it will definitely make a sound. Then we will pour the accumulated water into the entrance of the cave and drown them!"

After saying that, Zu Kefa clenched his fists viciously, as if he was about to crush Gao Jie.

"The general is wise. The tall thief is so underestimating the enemy and advancing, let's give him a look!"

Zhang Yong was eager to find his face and took the initiative to ask Zu Kefa for his order: "I would like to ask the General to hand over this task to the last general. The last general will definitely make meritorious contributions!"

Zu Kefa pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will order you to be fully responsible for this matter. We must destroy all the Ming thieves in the Tao!"

......

......

"Master, it's about to get ready!"

When Li Chengdong saw the soldiers coming out of the tunnel one after another, he said excitedly.

Gao Jie held the horse whip and pointed at the city wall: "This Zu Kefa is such a fool. I don't know if he dies. I really don't know what the Tartars asked him to be the general of Wei Hui and command tens of thousands of green camp soldiers."

Gao Jie was born into a real "bandit". He did not rely on the heaven or the earth, but on himself.

They are completely different types of people with the young master of Liaoxi like Zu Kefa.

Therefore, Gao Jie looked down on Zu Kefa very much, thinking that this person can have his current status mostly because of a good father.

"How many people in this world are the opponents of the Grand Marshal."

Li Chengdong was not completely flattering, but truly admired Gao Jie. Although he did not recognize Gao Jie as his adoptive father, he really treated Gao Jie as his father-in-law.

"If Zu Kefa wants to be a turtle, let's blow up its turtle shell and see if he can still shrink his eggs."

With the successful experience of exploding the Kaifeng city wall, Gao Jie was very confident in exploding the Weihui city wall.

This time he made special improvements and decided to concentrate gunpowder to blow up from one place.

Although the city wall was blown up before, the wall wall actually only showed a certain degree of inclination and turned into a slope. In this case, it was more beneficial to the Qing army guarding the city, and if the Ming army wanted to enter the city, it still had to climb up the slope.

Gao Jie felt that this was the reason for insufficient amount of gunpowder.

This time he dug the tunnel wider and deeper, and the amount of gunpowder used also changed from one coffin to four coffins, and ordered the soldiers to transport them to the tunnel in turn.

The same thing as before is that whether it is the coffin itself or the space dug under the city wall, it is sealed to the greatest extent. This is what the emperor repeatedly emphasized. Only when the sealed one is done can gunpowder exert its maximum power.

As the last Ming army soldier walked out of the tunnel, Gao Jie narrowed his eyes.

Li Chengdong knew that Gao Jie was going to give the order, and his eyes also showed expectations.

I don’t know how powerful the improved "Coffin City Blasting" tactic is, he can’t wait to see what it is.

Everyone's attention moved to the opposite city wall, staring at him in a hurry, fearing that he would miss a big show.

With Gao Jie's order, a soldier lit the lead, and everyone held their breath and waited for the arrival of that moment.

After a while, I heard a loud bang, bricks and stones flying, rubbles rising everywhere, and thick dust rolled over the sky and the sun.

Even the earth began to tremble.

All the generals of the Ming army were very excited. The movement alone was much stronger than when the Kaifeng exploded before, and the actual effect must be inferior!

When the dust gradually dissipated, everyone noticed a huge gap appeared in the Weihui city wall.

A steep slope that is not an inclined is a real gap!

Oh my God, this time I just blown up the turtle shell of the Tartars!

"Clashing the city!"

However, Gao Jie did not give them too much shock and sigh, and gave the order of the general attack in a deep voice.

The Ming soldiers were all prepared, and Gao Jie immediately launched a charge after giving the order.

At this time, the Qing army in Weihui City was still in extreme shock and did not realize that it was one step closer to death.

The gap that exploded was so big that it could accommodate dozens of people rushing in at the same time. In less than a cup of tea, the Ming army could transport thousands of soldiers into the city.
