One is to use mud shells to defeat thousands of enemies. A mud shell with many small holes on the surface containing gunpowder is placed in a wooden frame and hung from the top of the city with a rope. After being ignited, it can spin while spitting fire to burn the enemy troops attacking the city.
, it burns, not explodes, the mud shell will not explode when there are ten thousand enemies, nor does it rely on explosions to kill the enemies attacking the city.
The other is easier to make, which is to sew gunpowder into a quilt, roll up the quilt before throwing it, ignite it and then throw it down from the top of the city. The deflagration of the gunpowder is superimposed on the deflagration of the cotton, and it instantly turns into a huge ball.
Fireball, the burning effect is many times more brutal than the mud shell's ten thousand enemies. The disadvantage is that the duration is too short.
The main reason why the old slave suffered in Ningyuan City was that he suffered a huge loss from ten thousand enemies.
Therefore, the enemy of ten thousand people left a lingering nightmare in the minds of Duduo and other Eight Banners nobles.
They suddenly remembered that the Ming army also had a weapon designed to defend the city with ten thousand enemies.
Accompanied by the frightened roars of Duduo, Ashan, He Luohui and others, the dozens of beds of "Ten Thousand Enemies" thrown down from the city suddenly burst into dozens of huge fireballs.
In an instant, dozens of fireballs fell on Qiding's head.
The result was no doubt that more than a hundred Baya soldiers who climbed up the ladder fell down one after another.
The triple-armored stomach can withstand lost stones, gold juice, and even lime if you are cautious, but it is impossible to withstand magical attacks such as bursting fireballs.
The attack of ten thousand enemies is extremely brutal, but its duration is also short.
In the blink of an eye, the bright light that can almost blind people disappears.
However, when Duduo and other Eight Banners nobles took a closer look, they saw a mass of mourners already under the city wall.
More than half of the more than one hundred Baya soldiers clinging to the ladders have fallen to the base of the city wall.
"Ming Jin, stop the attack!" Although he was unwilling to do so, Duduo knew that he could not continue fighting today because the morale of the men with the white flag had dropped to the bottom.
Moreover, the enemy's situation was seriously misjudged.
If the fight continues, even confidence will be severely damaged.
Therefore, stopping losses in time is the wisest choice.
After all, Duduo is over thirty and no longer eighteen!
…
Shanyang Dongcheng.
Seeing the Jiannu army retreating slowly, Zhi Tingjian let out a sigh of relief.
It was only then that Zhi Tingjian truly recognized Yan Yingyuan in his heart.
Although this young man is a little younger, he is still capable. At least he made proper arrangements when he commanded the city defense just now, which is much better than his performance as a county magistrate.
At that moment, Zhi Tingjian said with a sincere face: "Xiaoyou Yan, I have offended many people in my words in the past. I hope you will forgive me."
"The words of the county magistrate are serious." Yan Yingyuan said with a smile, "What's more, although I don't have much ambition, I definitely won't ignore the hundreds of thousands of people living in Shanyang City just to get angry."
"That's good." Zhi Tingjian nodded happily and added, "Jiannu should have given up after such a setback, right? After all, they also gave up after slight setbacks in Suining County, Taoyuan County and Qinghe County.
.”
Yan Yingyuan said: "I'm afraid this will disappoint the county magistrate. Jiannu will never give up easily this time. The next attack will only be more ferocious and cruel, so we need to be fully prepared."
"Ah?" Zhi Tingjian looked stern. Is Jiannu going to fight to the death this time?
…
As soon as he returned to the camp, Duduo immediately summoned the generals of the two white flags and the blue flag to hold a military meeting to discuss what kind of siege tactics should be adopted.
In the beginning, as usual, I was cursing.
"It's all the fault of Chongzhen, the dog emperor." He Luohui scolded angrily, "In Xia Town, Xuzhou dug so many gun towers, which made us think that Ming Gou could only guard the gun towers, but not the city. The result was...
Shanyang City suffered a big loss."
"It's true." Ah Shan nodded and said, "I almost forgot that dogs can still defend the city."
Xilanqi Gushan Ezhen Tunqi said in a deep voice: "Minggou is not only good at guarding the city, but is also very good at guarding the city. Back then, in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, it made the old Khan and the late emperor very embarrassed."
"Yes." Duduo sighed, "We suffered a big loss in Ningjin back then."
Tun Qi said: "Therefore, it will definitely not work to attack a fortified city like Shanyang according to the tactics of fighting a gun platform. We must attack Shanyang City according to the tactics of fighting Ningyuan and Jinzhou."
"Demolish!" Ah Shan, Shi Tu and other Eight Banners generals said at the same time, "Dig up the city wall!"
Duduo hesitated a little, frowned and said, "The demolition tactics are not very easy to use. When we attacked Ningyuan and Jinzhou, we were unable to defeat them. Instead, many Baoji soldiers died."
Tun Qi said: "Then we can only send the red cannon to Shanyang City."
"Yes, let's bring in the red cannons." Ah Shan agreed, "It doesn't take much. A dozen cannons are enough. As long as a gap is opened in the city wall, everything will be fine."
"That's easy to say." Duduo snorted, "It's nearly five hundred miles from Xuzhou to Huai'an. The red cannon is so heavy and heavy that it can only cover less than twenty miles every day. How many miles do you have to walk?"
Tunqi, Ashan and other Eight Banners generals were speechless for a moment.
It would take at least a month to transfer the red cannon from Xuzhou.
The problem is, the military rations they have left can only last for a month.
At this time, Niyaha suddenly took a step forward and said, "Master, this matter is actually easy to solve."
Duduo was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Niyaha was extremely brave in fighting, but he never liked to use his brain. Today, the sun is rising in the west, and Niyaha actually started to use his brain too?
At that moment, Duduo smiled and asked: "Then tell me, what can you do?"
Niyaha chuckled and was about to say his method when his body as strong as a mountain suddenly swayed, and then he fell straight back.
The body weighing more than 200 kilograms hit the ground with a thumping sound.
Dodo was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and shouted with concern: "Niyaha? Niyaha, wake up quickly."
While shouting, Dodo slapped Niyaha's cheek hard, "Even if you die, you have to die after saying this."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unfortunately, at this moment, Niyaha fell into a severe coma. No matter how much Dodo shouted, there was no response, and even his breathing became extremely...
weak.
"Mr. Zhong!" Duduo said urgently, "Come to the doctor quickly!"
By the time the army sergeant arrived, Niyaha had already developed a high fever.
The doctor stretched out his hand to touch Niyaha's forehead and was immediately surprised: "Your Majesty, Master Niyaha is infected with fever, and the onset of the disease is extremely severe and urgent. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
The four words "bad luck or bad luck" stuck in my throat, and I didn't dare to say them easily.
"He turned out to be infected with a fever!" Duduo's heart immediately sank, and he added, "Then, is there any way you can make him wake up? Even if he only wakes up for a moment."
"Your Majesty, this slave really can't do it." The doctor said with a mournful face, "Whether Lord Niyaha can wake up depends entirely on whether his body can bear it. If he can bear it, he can wake up, but if
I can’t bear it…”
"Okay, anyway, you are taking good care of me." Dodo motioned to the bannermen to carry Niyaha down.
Dodo looked around again and said, "Tell me, what method is Niyaha thinking of?"
He Luohui, Tunqi, Ashan and other Eight Banners generals looked at each other in confusion. I'm afraid you have to ask Niyaha to find out.
"Forget it, don't worry about the red cannon. Even if you have enough time, you may not be able to reach Shanyang." Duduo breathed a sigh of relief and added, "After all, from Xuzhou to Shanyang are on the border of Nanming.
Inside, there are Ming armies everywhere along the way, especially in Xia Town and Pizhou where two large armies from Nan Ming are stationed, so we must be on guard."
He Luohui and the other Eight Banners generals' expressions became condensed. They thought of what happened to Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.
After a pause, Duduo continued: "So let's think about how to break Shanyang City and seize the food and livestock goods in the city without the red cannon."
Tun Qi said: "Then we can only hope to demolish it."
After a pause, he continued: "In order to disperse Ming Gou's troops and defensive equipment, we can demolish the eight corner towers in the east and west cities at the same time. In this way, Ming Gou will inevitably lose sight of one thing and be tired of dealing with it, and then
As long as we successfully demolish one corner tower, the army will be able to continuously enter Shanyang City through the gap."
Duduo said: "If there is really no other way, we can only use demolition."
Tun Qi said: "If we want to use demolition tactics, we have to quickly collect wooden boards and build long cards."
Duduo said: "You can't carry it with just a shield. You have to rely on a cart. Let those dog slaves modify the cart. Just follow the way they did in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and splice the two carts into one, and put them on top.
Then put a lid on it to make a vault. This vault must be able to withstand the impact of hundreds of kilograms of rolling wood and rocks."
Tun Qi said: "The top must also be covered with multiple layers of rawhide to prevent fire attacks."
"Yes, in addition to being covered with cowhide, we also need to build an earthen platform outside the turret, and station archers to suppress the bright dogs at the top of the city." Duduo nodded and said, "I will leave this matter to you with the blue flag."
"嗻!" Tun Qi shouted, turned around and left.
Tunqi did not resist this task at all, but was extremely happy with it.
Because according to the rules, if Xianglan Banner completes the demolition of Shanyang City, then the first batch of people to enter Shanyang City will only be their Xianglan Banner warriors, just to eat this verbal soup.
Watching Tun Qi leave, Duduo said to He Luohui: "He Luohui, please be more careful tonight. If spies from the Ming army come in again, they will burn the remaining baggage of our white flag."
, then you don’t have to live anymore, just cut off your own head as soon as possible.”
"嗻!" He Luohui quickly knelt down on one knee and shouted.
Duduo then said to Shi Tu and other two white flag generals: "Let's go with my king to see Niyaha."
Originally, it was unlikely that Duduo would be so concerned about the life and death of a mere Baya Lahuzhangjing, but it was Niyaha's unsaid method that whetted his appetite.
