Because of the guidance of some of the soldiers of the Shence Army, the Ming army digging the tunnels very quickly.

When they dug under the city wall, they began to dig deeper, leaving about a space for the coffin to erect.

They dug about eight such authentic tunnels, and there are two in each city wall.

After completing these initial work, they dragged the coffin filled with gunpowder into the tunnel and transported it to the end.

According to the requirements of the soldiers of the Shence Army, the space for erecting the coffin must be as closed as possible.

Of course they would not build a stone house specifically for this, but at least they would do their best within their ability.

A lead was inserted into the coffin, and then the soldiers of the Shence Army ordered everyone in the tunnel to withdraw in turn.

The lead wire is connected long enough and extends outward for dozens of steps after leaving the tunnel opening.

Qin Liangyu now really wants to see the power of gunpowder bombing city with his own eyes. Is it really as powerful as the legendary one that collapses instantly once the city wall is blasted?

Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Qin Liangyu to give the order.

"ignition!"

With the order of Qin Liangyu, soldiers from eight tunnels ignited the leads one after another, and everyone retreated to a safe distance.

Mars rushed forward quickly and soon burned into the tunnel.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong.

Almost everyone could hear the sound of their heart beating and the air almost frozen.

After a while, I suddenly heard one after another of thunder-like explosions, followed by a loud noise like a rocking mountain.

The bricks and stones are flying, and the loess is rolling over the sky and the sun is covered.

The rebels on the city were talking and laughing, but at this moment they were scared.

They didn't realize what was going on until the explosion had passed long ago.

The Ming army was prepared for a long time, and before the dust was about to dissipate, they shouted and rushed towards the gap in the city wall.

Qin Liangyu was surprised to see this scene. He saw eight gaps of different sizes on the four walls.

The city walls in this section were completely blown up, and the Ming army could even see the scene in the city directly.

The power of this gunpowder is really terrible!

Seeing is true, hearing is false.

At this moment, Qin Liangyu no longer doubted the authenticity of the gunpowder bombing city.

She couldn't help but sigh that after having this method, she became much more relaxed when she attacked many strong cities.

The number of casualties among soldiers will also be greatly reduced.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the vanguard of the Ming army had already rushed to the gap.

And Shadingzhou was still stunned at this moment.

Still Wan reminded: "Husband, please send someone to block the gap!"

At this time, Sha Dingzhou woke up like a dream, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Do not care about the gap and drive the Ming army out at all costs!"

Since there are eight gaps to defend, the rebels were divided very scattered.

Shadingzhou ordered several confidant generals to lead a group of troops to Huokou to fight with the Ming army.

This time, Shadingzhou issued a death order, and the generals naturally tried their best to supervise the battle.

The local soldiers in Yunnan are indeed brave and do not lose the disadvantage in the process of fighting with Ming soldiers.

The two sides went back and forth, and the Ming army was slightly superior. The rebels took the advantage again.

Seeing that the battle was so anxious, Qin Liangyu ordered to Zeng Ying: "General Zeng Shen, you go too."

Zeng Ying hesitated and said, "But the Grandmaster, here you are."

"I'm very good here, you don't have to worry."

"I will obey the order!"

Zeng Ying then took the order with his fists and left.

The Ming army in eastern Sichuan led by Zeng Ying is an elite of all battles. They have fought many bad battles with Zhang Xianzhong, and are not comparable to those of the newly recruited local soldiers.

After they joined the battle, the situation changed instantly. The Ming army gained an overwhelming advantage in the North City.

The rebel general who was responsible for guarding the gap in the north gate knew he was defeated, so he ordered the retreat to the inner city.

Zeng Ying led his personal soldiers into the city without saying a word.

As long as the Ming army controls a city gate, the next thing will be much simpler.

Seeing that the North City became a breakthrough, Shadingzhou jumped straight to the point of view.

He personally put on the battle and led his personal soldiers to put out the fire.

But when he arrived, the situation was already irreversible.

Nearly a thousand Ming troops had poured into the North City, and he had no advantage in numbers when the formation was completely widened.

After a while of fighting, Shadingzhou finally decided to retreat to the inner city.

Zeng Ying did not chase and attack fiercely, but ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let more Ming troops enter the city.

The first thing the Ming army had to do now was to gain control over the four-sided city gates and eight gaps.

As long as these rebels are controlled, they will not be able to escape. At that time, they will close the door and fight dogs, and search from house to door, and they will not believe that the rebels can hide.

Qin Liangyu also rode into the city under the protection of his personal soldiers.

She glanced and ordered: "First control the gaps in the city gates, and then post a notice, asking the people in the city to cooperate with the official army to report the hidden rebels. The reporters will reward silver."

Qin Liangyu has rich experience.

She knew that the most important thing at this time was to soothe people's hearts.

The people in the city must be in panic now. The rebel soldiers scattered everywhere again. If the Ming army relied on their own strength, it would be difficult to find them all out.

At this time, the people must be fully mobilized and let them take the initiative to report and cooperate.

This won't take long to clean up the rebels in the city.

"I will obey the order!"

Zeng Ying held his fists and took the order again.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army itself is not much stronger than that of the rebels. But they cleverly took advantage of the opportunity to catch the rebels off guard.

The morale of the rebels has fallen to the bottom and they dare not gather to confront the Ming army. They fled to the inner city to save their lives.

It is a very fatal matter to be disintegrated in the army, even gods cannot save them.

Shadingzhou could not understand why a large army disappeared in just half an hour.

Now there are less than 5,000 people around him, all of whom are his direct descendants.

It's too difficult to turn the tables with these 5,000 people.

But Wan comforted him and retreated to the Duke of Qian's Mansion to guard it.

Shadingzhou had no choice but to order his retreat to the Duke of Qian.

The Duke of Qian is located in the middle of Kunming City, like a small imperial palace.

There are tall city walls outside the entire Duke's Mansion, and even corner towers to see.

After retreating to the Duke's Mansion, Shadingzhou was given a breather. On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to stand up and go to discuss countermeasures with Wan.

"It will definitely not work if the husband continues to maintain his affairs until now. We have to find a way to escape."

Sha Dingzhou frowned and said, "Didn't you say you should retreat to the Duke of Qian's Mansion to defend the country first?"

"Husband, I am pacifying the morale of the army. If I don't say that, I'm afraid the army will collapse in an instant."

Wan sighed.

"What should we do now? Even if the wall of the Duke of Qian's mansion is strong, it can be stronger than the wall of Kunming? It won't take long for the Ming army to chase after him. We are afraid that we will not be able to defend it at that time. There will be even more hope of escaping!"

"Don't panic, my husband, I found a secret passage that seemed to lead out of the city."
