The fierce drum beat woke up the Yanmen and closed the Han army!
Guo Yunding originally felt on the city wall and saw the soldiers of the Tengjia Army marching toward Zheyanmen Pass little by little!
The smoke and dust in the distance covered the sky and the sun. When the Tengjia Army approached, they found that the smoke and dust did not seem to be caused by the 100,000-strong army. Guo Yun said strangely: "The Lei Gong Department seems to have less than 20,000 people? Where did his other troops go?
?”
Ding Yuan was also surprised, but he cautiously said: "Could this be Thunder Lord's strategy to lure the enemy? He wants to show his weakness and let us go out of the city to fight him, so we sent this small army here!"
But as the Tengjia Army got closer and closer, Guo Yun took a breath and said, "All the Tengjia Army here are wearing iron armor. This shows weakness. I think Lei Gong wants to demonstrate!"
These days, even the Han army can only equip its troops with leather armor. It is difficult for even the northern and southern armies to equip the army with full iron armor. There is no way. The Eastern Han Dynasty government was a weak court, and most of the resources it controlled were controlled by the powerful gentry.
After devouring it, there will naturally be no resources to arm soldiers.
During the Han Dynasty, it could arm millions of troops and station 600,000 troops on the grasslands for several years. However, the Eastern Han Dynasty government could bankrupt the court by maintaining 100,000 troops. The difference in national power was more than ten times. So ironware
It has been prosperous for hundreds of years, but their finances cannot support them in equipping such a gold-eating beast!
Ding Yuan saw clearly the tens of thousands of soldiers that Xu Wei came out, all wearing iron armor, and was shocked and said: "No wonder the Xianbei people are no match for the Tengjia Army. Such elites are really invincible!"
This equipment is one level worse. They can cut down the enemy with one strike without any problem, but they will fall down with one strike from the enemy. There is no way to fight such a battle. Now Ding Yuan is glad that he is on the defensive side. If they fight on the plains, he may not be able to fight.
He couldn't even hold it for half a day!
Ding Yuan looked to the sky and prayed: "I just hope the snow will fall earlier this year!"
Xu Wei, who was leading the army at Yanmen Pass, was disappointed when he saw the Han army on the pass and said: "The Han army still has a sense of honor, and they did not escape under such circumstances!" If the Ming army had fled, it would have been a long time ago.
Xu Wei originally wanted to scare the Han army away, but was obviously disappointed.
We can only attack hard, Xu Wei ordered: "The engineering battalion starts digging tunnels!"
Colonel Zhu Gui came out and said: "No!"
"The cavalry battalion guards both sides of the army!"
Wang Lei came out and said: "If the Han army in the gate dares to come out, I will make sure they never come back!"
"Gongnu Camp and Modao Camp protect the Engineering Camp. Whether we can quickly conquer Yanmen Pass this time depends on the Engineering Battalion!"
Chief of Staff Wang Ge came out and said: "No!"
After Xu Wei issued the order, the entire Tengjia Army waved its flags, drums beat, and the soldiers roared like thunder, with killing sounds shaking the sky. They were ready to attack Yanmen Pass.
Guo Yun and the others are all ready to fight to the death!
But they didn't expect Xu Wei's army to stop 300 steps away, and then they saw thousands of soldiers holding shovels, shoveling soil one shovel after another!
Guo Yun and the others looked at it in confusion!
"What does Lei Gong want to do? Do they want to dig a tunnel to break through Yanmen Pass?" Guo Yun said hesitantly.
Because Yanmen Pass is a pass built on mountains, and its base is made of rock. It is impossible for anyone to dig through it. Over the thousands of years, Yanmen Pass has encountered countless enemies, but no enemy has ever wanted to dig a tunnel to break through Yanmen Pass!
Lu Bu, who was on the side, saw the Tengjia Army's movements and mocked: "I'm afraid this Thunder Lord is not a fool!"
Ding Yuan scolded: "Feng Xianxiu is talking nonsense. This Thunder Lord has traveled thousands of miles, and both the imperial army and the Xianbei cavalry have suffered losses at his hands. How can such a hero be a fool? You are so contemptuous."
He will definitely suffer!"
Lu was unhappy at being scolded, but he didn't say anything!
Ding Yuan thought for a while and said: "Does this Thunder Guild have any conspiracy? Now he is just confusing us!"
Guo Yun also thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any trick that would allow him to break through Yanmen Pass. Then he could only shake his head and said: "As long as we don't leave the pass, even if Lei Gong has a trick, we don't need to be afraid. I want to see it."
Look what this Thunder Lord wants to do!"
With the relay of thousands of people, the Xu Wei Tunnel was excavated very quickly. It only took half a day to dig the tunnel to the base of the Yanmenguan city wall. Guo Yun was right about one thing. The base of Yanmenguan has always been on solid rock.
The base is made of rocks and glutinous rice. It can be said that the base is not much stronger than the rocks.
If black gunpowder is used to explode like in the novel, even a carriage of black gunpowder cannot blow open the city wall. There is no way that black gunpowder is not as magical as everyone said, otherwise the ancestors would not be able to use it as fireworks. You know
The generals of the Song Dynasty had already used black powder on the battlefield, but the power was so weak that it was as useless as it could not determine the outcome of a war.
Therefore, it has not become the mainstream of war. Although Xu Wei's black gunpowder has the most accurate proportion and is granulated with egg white, so that these black gunpowder can exert its strongest power, this also increases the power by 2-3 times, making
Black powder has been upgraded to a slightly dangerous cannon-throwing level!
If such black gunpowder is used to attack a city, an ordinary small city can dig a large amount of black powder on its base to make up for it, but it is obviously impossible to use this method in a fortress like Yanmenguan.
Fortunately, Xu Wei is a well-informed Internet writer. The vast majority of netizens on the Internet have no idea that black powder is not powerful enough. Then use a fixed-point blast, drill holes in the city wall, put the black powder in, and seal it well.
, the power has been increased hundreds of times. As long as the amount of medicine is enough, mountains can be blasted!
This is what Xu Wei plans to use. Other time travelers only know how to make black gunpowder, but don't know how to maximize its power. It is also a top-notch technology. There is no novel about this. Xu Wei thinks of this.
I feel that my imagination has surpassed that of 8 million writers. This is considered a top talent!
When the tunnel was excavated to the base of Yanmenguan, the soldiers of the engineering battalion used steel cones and hammers to make holes, and then the prepared black powder was stuffed into these holes, keeping a long fuse and lighting the fuse.
, the soldiers fled quickly!
"Boom!" A dull voice sounded after a moment, the entire Yanmen Pass shook, and many soldiers fell down!
"What's going on?" Ding Yuan didn't understand what was happening at all, and the soldiers were also extremely frightened, especially the unknown events that frightened them even more. They knelt on the ground one by one and prayed to the gods to bless them!
