In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, when Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, he thought of and used a tactic, that is, to dig a big hole in the city wall of Kaifeng, bury a considerable amount of gunpowder, and then detonate, as a result, all the gunpowder gas rushed out from the hole dug up, just like a Hawaiian volcano suddenly appeared on the city wall, but the funny thing is that the city wall is still quite intact. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It turned out that Li Zicheng's peasant army did not master the method of using hey gunpowder blasting, hey gunpowder is not a mature explosive in modern industry, the reason why it can be used as a gunpowder weapon is because the explosion caused by a large amount of gas produced after hey gunpowder is violently burned in a confined space, and the peasant army did not fill the hole dug and compacted, and the city wall could not be filled, even if it was filled, the filling soil was too little, and the gas could not be sealed, resulting in the gunpowder gas forming a "directional blasting" outside the city wall, but killed a group of peasant troops.

In the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping army used hey gunpowder to bomb the city was much more shrewd, the Taiping army will Guixian silver miners and Suyang coal miners form an earthen camp, dig tunnels in the empty houses outside the city to the city, bury gunpowder, the Taiping army called mines, each mine is wrapped in a quilt, poured with tung oil or packed with a coffin, so as not to enter the moisture, and then evacuate the tunnel and fill the soil, and then detonate.

"Zekelu" said: "Overturning the giant city is like revealing a piece of paper." ”

The gunpowder used by the Ming Dynasty is no different from the gunpowder made by the Taiping army in the late Qing Dynasty, and it may be more refined, so there is no reason why the Ming army can't do what the Taiping army can do, but it just didn't expect it.

At this moment, Wei Xuezeng was bitterly blaming his generals for losing more than 1,000 soldiers and horses for attacking the city for three consecutive days, and the generals were trained one by one like quails and couldn't raise their heads, and they were more or less dissatisfied with Wei Xuezeng in their hearts - they built the city so firmly, and now let us attack it, what do you mean? You don't know how strong that city is, so you give us a few thousand people, and a few thousand people to the upper family, and you treat us as supermen.

Wei Xuezeng's heart was also angry, Ma Gui and Xiao Ruxun had reversed the tide of the battle to this extent, and the rebels were left with only one city, so they couldn't break through the city as soon as possible to open the situation and end the rebellion, which was too much of a failure! It's just a dereliction of duty! The character of his own emperor Wei Xuezeng also knows that if he can't do his errand, it is possible to go to prison!

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, although Wei Xuezeng himself knew that the city was strong and terrifying, but he still had to take it!

The emperor only looked at the result, not the process.

So Wei Xuezeng was quite irritable, looking at those crooked generals in a worse mood, and was about to open his mouth to scold again, when suddenly a soldier came to report, and Xiao Ruxun, a general in Ningxia, asked to see.

As soon as he heard this name, Wei Xuezeng's mood improved for some reason, and the rest of the generals seemed to be relieved, and transferred all their energy to Xiao Ruxun's body, that little white face like an animal, finally came?

Speaking of which, everyone's feelings for this kid are very complicated.

The great victory of Pingyu City, Wei Xuezeng's official definition of the great victory, this is indeed the face of the rising general, so many years, it is rare to fight a big victory, beheading 6,000 levels, it is estimated that only Chengzu had such a big gain during the Northern Expedition, it is indeed a good example, the nine-sided generals are in the same breath, one person goes to the sky, and others can follow the light, but you kid and one guy fought such a big victory, beheading 6,000 levels, do you want to be so violent? Are you so vigorous that you are not so incompetent?

In the past few days, Wei Xuezeng has mentioned Xiao Ruxun a lot, saying that if everyone wants Xiao Ruxun to give him peace of mind, it would be good! That's true! Everyone's mood is also unhappy, looking at Xiao Ruxun is like looking at other people's children, married Bai Fumei is not satisfied, and he still wants to be rich and handsome to see and create a career, the beginning is so loud, can you give us all time to breathe?

Wei Xuezeng will not take into account the careful thinking of a few mediocre and incompetent generals, he only cares about real talents, and does not study martial arts, whoever can solve his worries, he will value whom, to whom to ask for credit, now Xiao Ruxun is the undisputed number one hero in the northwest, a general who has just made great contributions, Wei Xuezeng has to personally greet him.

So Wei Xuezeng tidied up his clothes, took care of his hair and clothes, stabilized his momentum, and then slowly walked out of the battalion commander, and saw a tall military general walking like a tiger from a distance, and knew that it was Xiao Ruxun.

When Xiao Ruxun got closer, he saw that he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, good looks, dignified appearance, and he knew his whole clothes just after walking far away, and he knew his clothes and crowns when he contacted his previous literary name, at first glance, he was a Confucian general with good living habits, this kind of person is still very popular, there are two mustaches above his lips, and a short beard on his chin, which is different from the young and frizzy posterior in his twenties in his impression, and the whole person feels calm and reliable.

Knowing that these old people in the officialdom often say that they are not firm in their mouths, and they are very worried about letting young people do things, so Xiao Ruxun is particularly concerned about keeping two mustaches for himself, and he also pays attention to the beard on his chin, and maintains a Confucian demeanor, which can give people an excellent impression, especially these military ministers, who like such people.

Sure enough, looking at Wei Xuezeng's shining eyes, Xiao Ruxun knew that his homework was not done in vain, and when he got closer, Xiao Ruxun knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in salute, and said in a calm voice: "The last general, Xiao Ruxun, meet the platform!" ”

"Hahahahaha! Xiao Ruxun! Xiao Jixin! Ben Governor has been waiting for you for a long time! Wei Xuezeng nodded with great appreciation, approached Xiao Ruxun and helped him up with his own hands, looking at Xiao Ruxun's handsome and extraordinary appearance, he became more and more satisfied: "It is worthy of being a young man valued by Yang Gong, he played well, he fought very well, this governor has asked for credit for you and General Magui, if Your Majesty learns, you will definitely be happy!" Hahaha! ”

"The last general is only a small achievement, thanks to the control of Taiwan and the generals on the front line to resist the main force of the rebels, the last general can achieve this small victory, to be so praised by the control of Taiwan, the last general is ashamed!"

"Hahahaha! It's good for young people to be modest, but don't be too modest, it's not good to be too modest! Hahaha! Wei Xuezeng knew that this was a sycophant, but he was also a little cool by this light sycophant, and his senses for Xiao Ruxun went to a higher level, and he felt more and more that he was very different from these rough men in the army.

The rest of the generals saw that Xiao Ruxun got Wei Xuezeng's smiling face and appreciation so quickly, and somehow felt sour in their hearts, but Xiao Ruxun also complimented them by the way, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, this little white face is very good at being a person, and he is not an arrogant person, everyone is embarrassed to compare with Xiao Ruxun for this sycophant.

Wei Xuezeng didn't care about this, he walked into the big tent with Xiao Ruxun's hand, Xiao Ruxun smiled kindly at these generals, and then entered the big tent, generals, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do......

Stepping into the tent, Wei Xuezeng affectionately let Xiao Ruxun sit in the top position, and the affectionate appearance made the generals feel sour, very unpleasant, Xiao Ruxun didn't know why Wei Xuezeng had such a good sense of himself, shouldn't these Jinshi old men be very disdainful of their own kind of Qiu Ba? Didn't you make me unfit in front of these generals?

Xiao Ruxun was also helpless, so he had to get straight to the point and said: "The platform, the end will come here, it is for the siege of the city, the end of these days will observe the Ningxia city wall, and find that the strength of the Ningxia city wall is very high, not only there is an urn city, there are three city gates in it, the wall is stormed, the loss is too great, once the response is not in time, the enemy army is blocked in the two city walls, everything is closed, it is really not good for me." ”

"Oh?" Wei Xuezeng's eyes lit up: "What Ji Xin said is very true, then, I don't know what Ji Xin has to teach me?" ”

Teach? Do I dare?

Xiao Ruxun smiled bitterly and said: "I don't dare to preach, it's just that there will be an idea in the end, if it happens, it will definitely be able to break the city within a month, but ......"

Before Xiao Ruxun finished speaking, Wei Xuezeng grabbed Xiao Ruxun's hand and said excitedly: "No matter what, the military is not guilty!" Ji Xin said, the old man listens! ”

The rest of the generals also straightened their ears one by one, ready to listen to Xiao Ruxun's "exquisite theory".

Xiao Ruxun stiffened his head and said: "The idea of the last general is to blow up the city wall with gunpowder!" ”
