XLIV. All things will be cleared

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Yes, all filled with gunpowder, or wrapped in a quilt, or loaded in a coffin, to prevent the gunpowder from being damp by the moisture underground, and then completely block the entire tunnel, leaving only the fuse, once the gunpowder is ignited, a large amount of fire gas will have nowhere to release, and you can only go from the place with the largest space overhead."

At that time, 20,000 catties of gunpowder were ignited and detonated together, generating a huge force to completely overturn this section of the city wall, creating a huge gap. ”

Mei Guozhen couldn't help nodding: "Ji Xin, this time, don't dare to fail, I have already handed the fold to Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't know what arrangements will be made there, this can be regarded as the last blow of our group, if it is done, it will be a big deal!" We are all meritorious heroes with a bright future, but if we fail, we will all face severe punishment, whether it is a blessing or a curse, all in this blow! ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded seriously: "The last general understands, please rest assured that Futai and the prison army." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ruxun had such confidence, Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen also put their minds at ease and bet all the treasure on Xiao Ruxun's body, Xiao Ruxun of course also bet on this blow, all the delivery and parcel work was carried out under his nose, including the production of the lead and the work of filling the pit after filling the entire space, all the details were checked by themselves, and they tried to raise the success rate to the highest.

After the tunnel is sealed, once the gunpowder is ignited, the gas can not go out from the other three sides, and the contact surface of these three faces is controlled very small, the only contact surface is the largest is the top of the west city wall city foundation, once detonated, the maximum pressure will be given to the top, the powerful force will directly overturn the city wall from the ground, and the huge force will blow the city wall bricks into the sky, and even scatter in all directions.

At that speed, even a piece of plastic can have extremely strong force, not to mention hard bricks, which can even penetrate the stone wall, if people touch it, they will definitely die, and there is no way to survive, so when Li Zicheng's troops besieged Kaifeng, the gunpowder blasting was misdirected, and the masonry flew towards their own people, so many peasant soldiers died so miserably.

The only thing Xiao Ruxun is worried about is that a large number of city wall bricks fly into the city, which will cause a devastating blow to the houses close to the city, causing a large number of casualties, he said this to Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen, but he didn't expect Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen to express their mercy and not to take charge of the army, Xiaoren and Xiaoyi can't save the country's righteousness, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing that can't be done!

The big guy spoke, Xiao Ruxun didn't care about these things, and tried his best to fill in the tunnel and block everything, the early morning of April 22 in the twentieth year of Wanli, the day before the arrival of the latest decree of the Wanli Emperor, it was a day that made the 50,000 Ming army and all the generals and civil officials unforgettable for life.

It was that day that a new tactic proved to work, and the unclimbable and impregnable giant city was no longer so invincible.

Gunpowder and firearms, which are regarded by countless people as weapons that are generally not enough to be trusted, have since been extremely valued by the Ming court, and the name of Xiao Ruxun has also spread all over the country, becoming the most well-known general in the Ming Dynasty, this incident has played an incredible role in his subsequent path.

"Ji Xin, are you ready?"

At this moment, Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen appeared together in the camp of the Ming army outside the west gate of Ningxia City, the three giants of the Ming army appeared here together, obviously something big is going to happen, the matter has come to this, there is nothing to hide, as soon as the three of them appeared, they announced to the Ming army here that they would blast the city wall and blow up the city wall.

"Ready, just light the fuse, you can wait for the results, before that, the last general will let all the soldiers here hold iron shields and shields to form a formation, please Futai and the overseers go to the shield array together, so as not to be affected by flying stones and bricks, as for the city...... Leave it to fate! If this happens, the restoration of the Ningxia city wall will also be carried out as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Ruxun trusts his hard work quite much, in order to raise the success rate to the highest, many details of the work are personally guided by him to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and he also instilled all his hopes for the future into this big gamble.

The so-called greater the risk, the greater the benefit, this time, the Ming army concentrated all the elite soldiers and strong generals here, just waiting for the city to be broken, everyone fought together, and the rebels were simply and neatly killed, Wei Xuezeng's matter showed a truth - the steel knife in his hand is the most reliable.

Wei Xuezeng woke up a day after falling from the horse, but after waking up, the whole person's spirit seemed to collapse, except for eating and sleeping, he didn't even say a word, he looked at the top of the tent stupidly, as if he was looking at something distracted, such a scene, Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen who saw it were also embarrassed.

But this is war, brutal war.

"Well, let's get started!"

Ye Mengxiong took a deep breath, as the highest-ranking official present, he gave an order, took the greatest responsibility for this matter on his shoulders, and staked his future career.

"Hmmm! Let's start Ji Xin, I'll wait here and watch! ”

Mei Guozhen also made a statement, and also bet on his future career as a bet.

Wins, earns, loses, loses, loses, there is no third way.

Behind him, Ma Gui, Xiao Ruhui, Li Yun, Dong Yikui, Zhao Wu, Niu Bingzhong, Li Ben and many other generals who knew the inside story also had a look of anxiety and excitement, they all knew that if they succeeded this time, their lives might usher in a drastic change, a real upheaval.

Xiao Ruxun came to the entrance of the tunnel, personally picked up the fire fold, lit the fire, lit it against the lead, and the sparks spread to the depths of the cave at a speed that was not fast or slow, Xiao Ruxun felt that his heart was completely moved, beating faster and faster, faster and faster, faster and faster, even if it was a very skilled job, after changing the environment, it seemed to have become different.

Xiao Ruxun returned to the military formation, the Ming army formed a formation under the order, away from the blasting point, erected all the items that could be used as a shield, the ears of the horses were all plugged with cotton, and the ears of the elite commandos of the Ming army were also required to be plugged, everyone had no objection, and the sound of gunpowder was very clear to everyone, let alone 20,000 catties of gunpowder.

The Ming army appeared here, and the rebels saw it clearly, and the rebels thought that the Ming army was preparing to attack the city, although they didn't know why the Ming army attacked the west city instead of the south city, and gathered so many troops, thinking that the Ming army was going to attack with all its might.

Therefore, the rebels in the city quickly reported the matter to Bibai and the two sons of the Bi family, and the three of them climbed the west city wall together, and after watching the formation, Bibai ordered the whole army to defend to see what tricks the Ming army planned to play.

The muzzle of the black hole of the artillery is facing the Ming army under the city, just waiting for the Ming army to enter the firing range, Bi Bai looked at the Ming army outside the city with cold and hidden eyes of extreme fear, these days of fierce battles made him very clear that he has come to a dead end, almost no possibility of gaining a foothold in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, he is even ready to take the cavalry to fight out of the siege and return to the grassland after the city is broken, although I don't know if it will work, but if he doesn't try, he will not give up.

Under the repeated defeats, Bibai's sanity has undergone a huge change, and the whole person looks very sluggish, and there seems to be black qi entangled around his body, and his two sons are similar, Zhou Guozhu who guards in the south city and Tuwenxiu who guards the east city are also similar, and they are mentally depressed, and they can only get up to save their lives when it is very critical.

And that's when everything will come to an end.
