"Mah, what is this dog emperor doing?"

Tun Qi lay on the city wall and looked blankly out of the city and said.

It has been more than half a month since the Ming army arrived in Guangning, and he has been waiting in fear every day for more than half a month, waiting for the cannonballs falling from the sky, waiting for the terrifying figure of the dog emperor, but what made him dazed was that the Ming army did not launch an attack. Of course, he didn't have the courage to go out of the city to fight back, he was unforgettable in the battle of Jinzhou, the invincible figure of the dog emperor in thousands of troops, still appears in his nightmare every day, how dare he go out of the city to face the battle. Anyway, his task is to drag down the Ming army as much as possible and block them from attacking Niuzhuang and even Shenyang, so that the goal can be achieved, but now the actions of the dog emperor make him inexplicable.

Because in the Ming army camp outside the city, a huge machine is slowly being pushed out.

It consisted of a wooden shelf with a large pile of wooden wheels underneath, and on the shelf was a long crossbar, with a square wooden cage at one end filled with large stones picked up from the mountain, and a leather pocket at the other end......

Uh, it's a trebuchet.

Of course, he understood what this was for, but this ancient weapon, after the popularization of artillery, had basically withdrawn from the battlefield, after all, its range in front of the cannon was too pitiful.

He looked at each other with a Jia Lama beside him, although there is indeed no cannon in Guangning City, but using this kind of thing to attack the city can still be said to be very speechless, what about the cannon in the hands of the Dog Emperor? When he used a cannon to bombard the mountains, did he think that it was easier for this thing to throw stones at the city wall than to bombard the city wall with artillery? In other words, it is too funny to smash the Guangning city wall with dozens of pounds of stones, this thing has to use hundreds of pounds of stones to smash the city wall, but it has to be close to the city wall dozens of zhang distance, in that case, the bird on the city wall will not agree!

It's completely inexplicable.

However, just as he was bewildered, the huge trebuchet stopped.

"It's okay, it's a hundred feet away."

Beside this huge counterweight trebuchet, Yang Feng looked at the towering tower of Ying'en Gate in Guangning City and said.

"Ready!"

An officer beside him immediately shouted in the back.

Then a two-horse four-wheeled carriage stepped forward.

This new type of carriage provided by the emperor has begun to become popular in the northern Ming army, this wooden four-wheeled carriage is very simple to manufacture, the transportation capacity is far more than the old-fashioned cart, and it is even equipped with a special shock-absorbing spring plate, and all the material transportation of the Ming army in the future will be replaced by this.

The carriage, carrying a huge tin bucket, drove to a stop behind the trebuchet, and then a dozen soldiers stepped forward, carefully removed the chest-high green tin bucket, and knocked it open with a chisel against a small round lid, and a choking smell came out at once.

Immediately afterwards, an officer inserted a tin pump.

A soldier stepped forward with a bottle of wine, and the officer twitched the pump, which was clear and smelled like a banana, but the unusually pungent liquid was pumped up and then flowed down the tube into the jar......

Uh, here's a thinner for the ink.

Or it is also called fragrant jiaoshui.

When the jar was full, it was quickly moved to the side, and then sealed with a cork wrapped in strips of cloth, and then put into the leather pocket of the counterweight trebuchet that had long been ready to go, a soldier lit the strip of cloth with a torch, and the soldier in charge of firing in front of him smashed the iron with a sledgehammer, and the wooden cage full of stones fell suddenly, and the other end of the crossbar went up at a very fast speed under the principle of leverage, and threw out the leather bag underneath, and when the leather bag was thrown to the end, the wine jar with flames flew out with a trajectory like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it was three hundred meters away.

Tun Qi on the upper floor of Ying'en Gate in Guangning City raised his head and looked at this scene in amazement.

The wine jar swept over his head in an instant, and smashed in front of the main hall of a courtyard in the city with the light of the fire, and the flames exploded and countless fires scattered and splashed, and the wooden doors and windows were immediately engulfed by the flames, and before he could wake up, the house became a blazing torch, and spread outward under the southeast wind, and a lame veteran of the Eight Banners ran out of it screaming, rolling on the ground with a full body of flames, and soon lay there without moving.

Not far from Tunqi, a temporarily recruited banner militia suddenly let out a mournful howl and ran desperately to the bottom of the city wall.

"This Qin beast!"

Looking at this scene, Aixin Jueluo. Tunqi said sadly.

He finally understood that the dog emperor had been dragging on for more than half a month, what was he preparing to do, this was going to burn Guangning! Where did this dog emperor get so much hatred for the people of Manchuria? Isn't it that Azig scolded Zhu Yuanzhang, as for not being forgiving like this! Where is the way of Confucius and Mencius, where is the noble character of the state of etiquette?

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Then he yelled.

At this time, the residents have recently run to put out the fire, this Guangning has been captured for many years, and the banner people here have already taken root, but it is not the kind of Jinzhou that has just been captured for a few years, and the relatives and property of those banner people are here, and they don't want everything to be turned into ashes. But this is not an ordinary fire, it is a jar full of dozens of catties of perfume water, this is an oil fire, which is so easy to extinguish, this thing splashes on the wood and burns it, it is very ferocious, not to mention burning these houses with wooden structures, even if it is taken to the battlefield of World War II to burn tanks, it is all good, just this jar, smashed on Xie Man's head can be scrapped.

The firefighters became more and more vigorous, and soon the billowing smoke reached the sky.

"This is called burning the city, I said that I would take them to commemorate the dead people in Liaodong, since it is a sacrifice, of course it will be burned, continue, day and night, when will Guangning City be burned to ashes and when will it stop!"

Yang Feng sat on a chair and said.

Not far from him, the Ming army around the trebuchet was busy preparing for the next launch, and next to the iron bucket, the second incense jiao water burning shao bomb was completed, and there were several carriages waiting behind these with iron buckets, and in the Ming army camp behind, there were more iron buckets piled up, His Majesty the Emperor asked Taizu for a hundred barrels of this thing, it is said that it is not enough to ask for more, at the same time the second trebuchet is completed, and soon it will be pushed outside the city of Guangning and join the ranks of the attack, And more trebuchets are in the pipeline.

This thing is stronger than mortar and flowering shells.

The arson effect of the latter is actually very general, the sparks of aluminum powder do not have the ability to burn continuously, and they will only ignite if they are hit in the right position, but this is fragrant water, and it will not be burned for a few minutes, even if it is a modern flammable product, it is the number one. What's more important is that this thing is not just burned, such a jar is smashed down, if it is too late to burn it all, the high temperature will make it volatilize violently, which is highly toxic, although it cannot achieve the effect of dugas, but it is definitely not a good taste for those who fight fires, and even if the environment is not open enough, it will also produce a detonation effect.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to burn like this, I'm afraid that the Tartar will jump off the wall in a hurry."

Tang Yu said with a smile.

"If they dare to come out, then I will be waiting for them here!"

Yang Feng said with a teacup.

As he spoke, the second incense incendiary bomb was thrown out again, followed by the second pillar of smoke in Quang Ninh City, followed by the third, and then the fourth......

With the calm operation of those Ming soldiers, these vicious weapons continued to fly towards Quang Ninh City, creating one fire after another in the city, those flag people who have lived here for many years, running around in the city with grief and indignation, doing their best to save their homes, but unfortunately all efforts were in vain at this time, those wine jars that kept falling from the top of their heads made the fire spread, more and more houses were burning, and more and more flag people were crying and being caught in the flames, Thus began the tragedy of the burning city.

Moreover, today it was a southeast wind, and the Ming army was in the south of Quang Ninh, and the raging fire spread rapidly to the north under the urging of the wind, and soon half of Quang Ninh was on fire.

Those bannermen who are not on the city wall, at this time can not care about fighting the fire, this fire can not be saved at all, they do not know how many incendiary bombs have to fall to extinguish a place, what they can do now is to flee to a safe place before the fire burns to themselves, as for those who can't escape, then they have to be buried in the fire. The streets are full of flagmen covered in flames and howls, rolling and waiting for death in absolute forgetfulness, and the corpses that have been burned to the shape of chicken wings are everywhere, and it is time to pay for them twenty years ago by betraying them by traitors, taking the city and killing its owner.

In the midst of more and more screams behind him, Tun Qi lay on the city wall, looking sadly at the yellow crank cover in the distance, looking at the faintly visible red figure.

Quang Ninh was thus turned into a sea of fire.

But he couldn't do anything.

He doesn't have any way to deal with this kind of thing, the only thing that can be used to counterattack on the city wall is the bird gun, it is impossible to hit there, the bed crossbow is okay, but it has no practical significance, the only thing that can really work is the cannon, Quang Ninh was originally a city behind the battle line, even if there were few cannons before, there is no need to fortify here here with Jinzhou in front. After Dolgon lost all the cannons in Ningyuan, he tried his best to collect cannons in various unimportant cities in order to attack Beijing, and of course the closest place would not be spared, so now he can only be helpless, Tunqi is even rejoicing, glad that the dog emperor only uses trebuchets now, and does not use the kind of cannonballs that are said to explode, otherwise he will be even more miserable.

Well, he didn't know it was just because someone else was bearing the power of this weapon in his place.
