1370 early morning
At this time, the Guanning soldiers on the top of the city also began to relax. After all, they are also human beings. Although they have tens of thousands of people, they can take turns to fight and have young and strong help, and they have enough manpower. But they are under a lot of mental pressure!
Because that overwhelming fire is really different from any battle they know!
In their perception, in the battle, you should be slashing and shooting, until one side is defeated! However, this kind of battle that is killed by shells before touching the enemy is really terrifying and depressing!
Especially those young and strong people were even more unbearable! Wu Sangui had already sent young and strong people to the city, and the original meaning was to let them adapt to the rhythm of war and gradually become the main force in defending the city!
However, under the shelling, these young and strong soldiers performed extremely unbearable! They either ran around in scattered or lie on the ground motionless. On the contrary, the morale of the Guanning Army was declining! Even the young and strong Guanning Army soldiers who gathered together were killed by artillery, causing their morale to fall again and again!
In the end, Wu Sangui had to order the ban on the young and strong people from going to the city, and only let them undertake the simplest logistical tasks. Although the city wall was kept, in this way, all the soldiers of the Guanning Army were sacrificed!
In this case, and fighting against an opponent holding the Ming flag, the morale of the Guanning Army could not be high! Especially when the soldiers knew that the Shandong soldiers on the opposite side would not do their best in the last battle in the early morning, they became even more lazy!
The soldiers on the city wall began to clean up the messy city. They collected the broken stones and piled them into small piles. They could be used to throw them to the enemy. The damaged equipment was dragged down and then replaced with new equipment. The complete corpses were carried away, and the fragmented corpses could only be transported from the city in large baskets, or even thrown out of the city.
Everyone was lazy and numb, and they had no energy that soldiers should have! The group of soldiers in front of them were only waiting to deal with the last offensive, and they could retreat and rest!
Even the officers around the soldiers looked at the numb and laboring soldiers without urging them. They also knew the hardships of the soldiers.
It’s bitter. And most importantly, they all know that Shandong soldiers and horses are not fierce when siege the city at night. After all, the darkness limits the advantages of the attacking party! Rather than saying that Shandong soldiers and horses are sieging the city, they are consuming their energy!
The city was barely sorted out, and the drums and trumpets outside the city sounded slowly again! The brigade of soldiers surrounded four building cars and a large number of ladders and other siege equipment moved over again!
A soldier on the top of the city muttered, "These bastards are really on time!"
The soldiers beside him picked up a shield and hung it behind him, tied it with a rope, then picked up a shield to protect him, and said, "You are lucky, you can go down and rest! But I will still be bombed on the top of the city!"
The soldier who spoke first curled his lips and said, "Is there any difference? Anyway, I will climb up to the city again if I don't need it for a moment! You should try to hide behind the chassis and stay away from the horse's way. Maybe you can survive!"
The soldier carrying a shield said, "Nonsense! How could I not know!"
The Guanning Army was preparing for the battle, but they did not realize that the four trellis cars that were on the battlefield today were a little different from the past!
In the past, the distance between the four floor cars was almost the same, and today the four floor cars were obviously divided into two groups and leaned towards the city wall. As for the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers was still similar to usual, about three or four thousand people.
But what Guanning Army did not notice was that some of the fires that seemed to never be extinguished were quietly extinguished in the middle of the camp and the city wall! And they extinguished very cleverly, completely like insufficient firewood and slowly burning out!
So a large number of dark areas appeared on the battlefield, and it was very wide. However, the soldiers on the city wall had already focused all their attention on the upcoming siege team, and no one cared about these small things.
After the siege troops approached the moat, artillery fired again! A large number of shells smashed into the city wall again! However, the Guanning soldiers, who had long been familiar with the entire combat process, had withdrawn most of them back into the Tibetan camp, leaving only a small number of observation posts on the city wall, carefully staring at the every move of Shandong soldiers.
They had no idea that with the help of the cover of several attacks just now, a large amount of explosives were stuffed into several caves more than ten feet deep. The tightly wrapped explosives were almost filled to the entrance of the cave! It can be imagined that when they exploded, it must have been earth-shaking!
Yu Shitou and his brothers were hiding in the pile of corpses. The explosives and fuses had been placed and could be ignited at any time. At this time, Yu Shitou was lying on the ground with his limbs on all sides in an indecent posture. Under his body was the tied fuses!
His posture was to cover the fire medium in his hand so that his fire light could be discovered by the people on the city wall.
At this time, Yu Shitou was both nervous and excited, but he did not forget to gently blow the fire medium in his hand from time to time to make it burn more vigorously! Because he knew that the combat time was about to come!
The few people around him were also very nervous, but they still surrounded Yu Shitou in the middle and protected him with their bodies. Although the few people met and met, none of them were willing to speak out.
Slowly, they felt that the explosion of the cannon became sparse, and they knew that time was coming! Yu Shitou tried hard to turn his head and look behind him, waiting for the signal to appear.
Just when he felt his neck feel a little sore, a red firework suddenly exploded among the many fireworks! It looked extremely conspicuous among the many white fireworks!
Yu Shitou knew that the signal was coming, and immediately turned his back to his neck, blew the fire medium hard, and then pressed it on a handful of fuses in his hand! After he heard the hissing of the fuse, he raised the fire medium and pressed it several times to make sure that all the fuses were ignited. Then he placed the fuse on a wooden board that had been prepared long ago, and covered it with a wooden board. He whispered: "Brothers, run away!"
