Chapter 148 Coffin bombs the city for the moon
When Zhou Fan saw the dark and overwhelming scenes outside the city, he was so scared that he shouted.
"Oh my god."
How many fucking people are there?
I'm afraid there are more than tens of thousands of people?
Could it be that the thieves from Kuidong were all out and took out all the things that were under the box?
"It is ready to fight without the orders of our general!"
Zhou Fan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he tried his best to hold on to him without losing his composure.
It seems that Ming Jun is indeed prepared, but he is indeed careless.
However, it is not too late to make up for the loss of the sheep.
Now, as long as the people in the city are mobilized to help defend the city, Zhou Fan feels that he can still defend it, at least he can defend the reinforcements.
"I will order the whole city to help defend the city!"
Zhou Fan rushed to his personal soldiers in a deep voice and ordered.
...
...
"Your Majesty, is it okay to dig the tunnel like this?"
Li Dingguo asked guiltily as he looked at the digging halfway.
In his opinion, this level of tunnel is only a semi-finished product and is not enough to attack the hole. As for digging tunnels into the city, it is even more impossible. Without ten days or half a month, there is no trace of the edge.
However, His Majesty insisted that this is OK, and Li Dingguo cannot question the Lord.
"Have you dug up the foundation?"
Zhu Youlang did not expect that the Ming army's efficiency was so high, perhaps because it was related to the narrow tunnel dug.
"Report to your Majesty, you have already dug up the foundation of the wall."
"Very good." Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Put the coffin."
In fact, Li Dingguo has always not understood why he used coffins to fill gunpowder when blowing up the city wall. Isn’t it possible to use other things?
But the emperor insisted on using the coffin, saying that it was sealed.
Li Dingguo naturally didn't understand what the meaning of sealing nature was, and the emperor tried to explain it to him for a long time.
Now Li Dingguo understood a little bit.
"Be careful not to bump when putting it. The lead wire must be stuffed. The coffin should be placed vertically when it reaches the place and placed under the city foundation."
Zhu Youlang carefully instructed that this was his first time using a coffin to explode. Although the principles were clear, no one knew what the actual effect was.
He couldn't wait to see how the coffin bombing was effective.
...
...
"The Ming thieves are fiddling around, and it is definitely impossible to enter the city just by digging such a shallow tunnel. Do they want to dig the city wall? But the city wall is so thick, how can it be easily digging? The Ming army will not attack at all."
Zhou Fan talked to himself for a long time, and saw that the magistrate Liu Han was next to him, and said in surprise: "Why did County Magistrate Liu climb to the top of the city?"
Liu Han looked worried and sighed: "General Zhou was born and died with his soldiers at the top of the city. Although there is nothing in the county that can help, we can't drink tea in the yamen, right?"
Zhou Fan thought it was clear that County Magistrate Liu could not trust him and wanted to go up to the city to monitor him, but he said that he was so loyal and capable, which was disgusting.
"What is County Magistrate Liu saying? You can help organize civil servants to help defend the city. Someone must carry these wood and stones, right? Someone must burn the golden juice?"
Zhou Fan’s words were used to quarrel with Liu Han. How could Liu Han not hear that Liu Han was a scholar?
This is because he is annoying on the top of the city!
But the more Zhou Fan did, the less Liu Han would be able to fulfill his wishes.
"The county has already arranged everything else, so it is here to cheer the soldiers."
Speaking of this, Liu Han has expressed his attitude. Zhou Fan did not want to tear his face at this time. He smiled and said without a smile: "Then County Magistrate Liu, please give me a gift."
"Is there no way that Ming thieves have made such a big noise? Jiangling and Wuchang don't know?"
"I have sent someone to ask for help. Jiangling should get news soon. Wuchang is probably going to be late."
Zhou Fan said coldly: "But far water cannot quench near thirst. Now you still have to rely on yourself."
Liu Han casually replied: "That's natural."
"Is Ming Thief trying to attack the cave?"
Although Liu Han had never led his troops to fight, he still read several military books. He also knew that the most needed time is time. It is impossible to achieve immediate results through the attack of acupoints in a short period of time.
"It's just a clown, no need to pay attention to it."
Zhou Fan's words were not just a matter of courage. Judging from the other party's actions, he really didn't know that acupoint attack was the essence.
"But the defense that should be taken is still not missing."
Liu Han said in a deep voice: "I heard that the most important thing in this county to deal with acupuncture is to judge the direction of excavation. Water tanks should be placed along the city wall. First, you can hear the specific location of the enemy, and second, you can dig back water and drown the enemy."
"Mr. Liu is so knowledgeable."
Zhou Fan said sarcastically.
"Well, I will order someone to do it now."
Although Zhou Fan felt that it was a bit too early to do these things now, it was always right to plan ahead.
"By the way, there is another thing in this county..."
"What else can I give to County Magistrate Liu?"
Zhou Fan suppressed the disdain in his heart and said.
"I see that the cannons on the city are very powerful, why don't I take the opportunity to hit him!"
Liu Han felt very upset when he watched Ming Jun dig tunnels here.
"Mr. Liu is really sharp-eyed. Unfortunately, this cannon is like a piece of cake. It will explode at a slightest fire, and it will not be used at all!"
Zhou Fan said angrily.
If this cannon is really useful, how could he not use it?
"Well, that's it."
County Magistrate Liu also felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking.
No matter how good your martial arts are, I won’t go out. How can you stand with me?
...
...
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
Li Dingguo was a little nervous. Will gunpowder blowing the city wall really work?
Then why can't you even bombard it with cannons?
Could it be that there is a problem with the location of the blown-up?
No matter what, you have to try it.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "The soldiers have all come out of the tunnel, right?"
"It's all out."
"Very good. When this lead is lit, everyone retreats far away."
Zhu Youlang glanced at the lead, it was indeed long enough.
"Let's fire."
"Your Majesty has an order to ignite the fire!"
Zhu Youlang ordered, and naturally someone went to ignite the lead.
Thorn!
But with a crisp sound, the lead was ignited and the sparks quickly moved towards the tunnel.
The soldier who ignited the lead quickly jumped up and retreated to the distance.
When they all retreated to a safe distance, the spark had just penetrated into the ground.
Well, this safety work is done well.
Everyone was waiting for the result, and Zhu Youlang was even more nervous.
Is the effect of this coffin bombing city really so ideal? Will it blow up a big hole in the city wall?
The air was very quiet, so quiet that Zhu Youlang could hear the sound of his heartbeat clearly.
After a moment, a loud bang, the walls of Yiling City moved to some extent, but there was obviously still a big gap between them being blown up.
Zhu Youlang was a little disappointed.
Is it a problem with gunpowder ratio, or is the fact that the coffin is not sealed enough?
