Actually, it's nothing to prepare a coffin and shroud in advance for a big battle. txt download/. The update is so fast. Or the little official just said right, where are the immortals in the war. If you don't prepare these things, it will be difficult to wrap the fallen soldiers in a mat and dig a pit and bury them at will. In that case, the blow to morale is really big.

In fact, since Sun Yuan founded the Ningxiang Army, he has set a rule: never abandon any comrade-in-arms, whether dead or alive.

On the battlefield, no matter how difficult the situation is, even if a few more lives are sacrificed, the corpses of soldiers must be snatched back and taken home for burial. The Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for safety, and if they have to expose the corpse to the wilderness after death, it is really inhumane. At this point, Jiannu and the Ningxiang Army are very similar, and they are extremely fierce when they snatch corpses on the battlefield. This is also one of the reasons why in the war between the Ming and Qing dynasties at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army only beheaded more than a dozen or even several levels in a big victory.

After seeing these coffins just now, Sun Yuan's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a good way to blow up the old camp of Duoduo. It is to dig a 'hole' under the enemy's long fence, put gunpowder into a coffin, and smuggle it into a 'hole' and 'hole' to use as a large bomb.

This hand, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conquered the big cities of the Qing Dynasty, was very handy, and Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, was originally a miner, and this set of tactics made it extremely smooth. Later, relying on the method of attacking the city in the 'cave', the Tianping Army successfully took the fortified city of Nanjing.

Sun Yuan thought that maybe he could use the same method to deal with Duoduo, so he ordered the little official to keep a hundred coffins for use.

As for the use of firearms, he was a layman, and when he returned to Xingyuan, he ordered Pablo to be sent and asked: "Minibus, you have also seen the fortifications of Jiannu, and I ask you, if you bombard with cannons, can you destroy the enemy's long encirclement, and how long will it take?" ”

The minibus's answer was very simple, no problem, but it took a long time, and it was estimated that it would be able to blow a gap in the earthen fence in two or three days.

"Two or three days, so long." Sun Yuan was a little disappointed, because of the limitation of caliber, the army's artillery was indeed not powerful

。

Pablo added that in fact, this time may have to be extended, because if you blow it up, the enemy can also send someone to repair it. Moreover, the enemy's earthen enclosure is based on logs, which is extremely strong, and solid shells can easily absorb kinetic energy when they fall on the elastic wood. Therefore, when the troops launched a general attack, the artillery could only suppress it in advance, and use artillery fire to support the infantry to attack the city.

Then, the minibus continued, instead of landing the task of attacking the fortification on the artillery, it is better to prepare some siege equipment, such as ladders or something.

Sun Yuan shook his head and said, I don't plan to launch a general attack like this, I don't want the soldiers to suffer too many casualties, I now have a way to easily blow up the enemy's earthen encirclement, but I don't know if it will succeed, so I specially recruited you to come to Xiangxiang.

Minibus: "Tell me, my lord." ”

Sun Yuan picked up the pen and drew while talking on the paper, and roughly explained his thoughts to Ba Buluo.

After listening to this, Ba Bo Luo thought about it, and said that this method is also possible, the explosive 'drug' explodes from the bottom of the earthen fence, and the power directly acts on it, and the power should be not small, and it is worth a try.

Sun Yuan was overjoyed: "Then this matter will be 'handed over' to you." ”

Minibus: "However, there is a problem with this. ”

Sun Yuan: "What's the difficulty, you say?" ”

The minibus smiled bitterly: "My lord, Jiannu is not blind or deaf, how can he watch me swaggering with sappers, carrying a coffin of gunpowder, running to dig a 'hole' under their long fence, and then blow them up into the sky?" Troops will definitely be sent to attack, and even if they don't come out, throwing the torches from the long fence will be enough for people. ”

Sun Yuan: "If that's the case, it's really a headache." However, can we take such a method, dig a tunnel four or five hundred meters away from the enemy's perimeter, and dig directly under their feet? He had already thought of a countermeasure to the problem raised by the minibus. Isn't it just a tunnel operation, in the real history of the Huaihai Campaign, this trick has made the Chen and Su armies play amazingly. In "Bright Sword", there is also a description of 'fine' color.

In fact, when the Tianping Army attacked Nanjing, it also dug tunnels under the city walls before they began to bury explosives.

The minibus's eyes lit up: "My lord, this method is so good, it's wonderful!" The wisdom of the Oriental people is truly admirable! ”

Sun Yuan stroked his beard and smiled faintly, and he was also proud in his heart

。

"Still, it didn't work." The minibus shook its head.

Sun Yuan asked in surprise: "It's such a simple thing to dig a tunnel, why can't it be done?" ”

Pablo: "The main thing is that there are no manpower, and everyone doesn't know how to dig tunnels. [Marshmallow]"

Sun Yuan: "If you are looking for a few, pass on my order, and gather the people who have been miners among the generals for your use." Also, let's build a section of earthen enclosure in the style of Jiannu, and experiment first. ”

Anyway, there is still a period of time before Jiannu is so hungry that he can't walk, and the Ningxiang Army will launch a general attack, so let's experiment for the time being.

It was also luck, as soon as I called in, I really found more than 30 people in the army who had experience in digging tunnels. It's a pity that none of them are miners, but tomb robbers, or border soldiers who have experience digging people's ancestral graves. I don't know when these 'bastard' things were 'mixed' into the Ningxiang Army, but it is estimated that they have been reformed by the iron-like discipline of the troops.

After a simple blasting training, a section of the earthen enclosure built entirely in accordance with the Jiannu style was also built and ready for actual combat.

But the tunnel operation did not go well from the beginning, starting with how to dig a straight tunnel underground. According to the plan, the tunnel was to be dug 400 meters from the enemy's earthen perimeter. It's pitch black underground, and I don't know where I've dug it if I'm not careful.

Fortunately, Fu Shan came up with a good idea. It is also a stupid method, from the beginning of entering the 'hole', draw a straight line, and draw a section every time you dig a section, so as to ensure that the 'hole' dug always follows this line.

However, the second problem quickly came to the fore. In May, the child's face was still red and hot before, and the next moment it might be a rainstorm, and Yangzhou was unusually 'damp' and wet, and the soil could be pinched out of the water with a pinch in the hand, and the water in the tunnel was serious. The soldier got into it, and was blistered in the water, and if it rained heavily, he would have drowned in it.

In addition to this, there is a very serious problem, lack of oxygen. The tunnel of 400 meters to 500 meters, drilled into the work for half a day, suffocating people's breath. Of course, as an experiment, it is impossible to dig such a long tunnel, so it is 'getting' a hundred meters of meaning consciousness.

In this regard, Fu Shan adopted two more stupid methods. In order to deal with the stagnant water, he asked the soldiers to dig the tunnel very deep, and then gradually raise it so that the stagnant water could flow out smoothly, and he carried it out with a cart of water

。

As for the lack of itching inside, it's easy to do, just use a windmill to send air inside.

Soon, a tunnel was dug up. The minibus carried in a coffin of black fire 'medicine' and lit it.

"Boom!" With a bang, the earth wall trembled, but it did not collapse, and even felt a little tremor, as if someone had let out a dumb fart.

These, Pablo was dumbfounded, there were so many gunpowder in the coffin, how could there be such a little movement, impossible!

Sun Yuan was also extremely annoyed, so he went into the tunnel with the minibus, walked to the end of the tunnel with muddy water, looked at the scene, and pondered for a long time before discovering the key to the problem: the seal was not enough, and the gunpowder leaked when it exploded.

Just step up a little bit on top of that.

For this reason, Sun Yuan asked the minibus to seal the entire coffin with raw lacquer and hemp silk, and dug a ten-meter ramp horizontally at the end of the tunnel, put the coffin in, and added it with soil.

This time, the power of the explosion completely shocked Sun Yuan and Fu Shan. With a "boom", the 'naked' eye could see that the ground under the earth fence jerked upward, and then exploded in an instant. The earthen fence was like a toy, soaring into the air.

Sun Yuan and Fu Shan were splashed all over by the muddy water brought by the air 'waves', and their ears were full of buzzing, and they couldn't hear anything.

"!" Sun Yuan, who had only regained his hearing for a long time, spit out the mud in his mouth, laughed and scolded: "The power of these hundreds of catties of black fire 'medicine' is really not covered, minibus, well done, when the general attack is carried out, it depends on you!" ”

After the experiment was completed and the power of the blasting was intuitively understood, the more than 30 demolition soldiers were divided into six groups and a group of five, and they selected a good position in the predetermined main attack direction of the Ningxiang Army and began to get busy.

In addition to determining the direction and 'pumping' water to send itching, it is also necessary to cut down the trees on Baiyang Mountain and send them underground as support. The soil in the ground is so soft that if you accidentally collapse into the square, won't you be buried alive?

The amount of earthwork is really a bit large, and the space in the tunnel is limited, even if there are more people, they can't spread it, so they can only dig little by little. In order to speed up the progress, the logistics side also sent a lot of tools made of 'fine' steel, pickaxes, shovels, steel skewers or something, according to everyone's reaction, there is a kind of screw rod with spiral pattern at the top is very easy to use, with a hand to shake the handle, no matter how hard the place can be easily drilled into

。

On the first day, the progress of the tunnel operation was 40 meters, which can be described as fast. At this time, Sun Yuan fully realized the strength of the ancient people's physical strength, those soldiers could wave the cross manuscript continuously for an hour, and the strength of themselves may be greater than theirs, but without this kind of stamina, at most half an hour their hands will be weak.

As it stands, it will take about ten days to dig under the enemy's buttocks.

However, the amount of earthwork in the tunnel operation is too large, and the excavated soil is piled up into a hill on the ground. Coupled with the windmills, waterwheels, and lamps lit during the night battle, it inevitably attracted the attention of Jiannu.

On the third day, Jiannu finally ordered a team of hundreds of people to come out of it and try to 'disturb' the soldiers of the earthwork. Fortunately, the cavalry reacted quickly, and a squad roared out, easily defeating the enemy and beheading more than 20 levels.

However, there was still one sapper who died under the enemy's sword, and Pablo was so angry that he said that there were only so many sappers who knew how to do earthwork, and that the death of one would be a huge loss that could not be recovered.

After consulting Sun Yuan, he borrowed hundreds of musketeers from Shao Wei, and equipped each squad with a 'door' four-pounder bronze cannon to protect the sappers like misers guarding the treasure in their hands.

Later, Jiannu came out a few more times and was beaten back by a 'chaotic' gun. At this time, Jiannu was obviously not as brave as when he attacked for the first time, and he looked weak, his face was all pale, his clothes were ragged, and he was obviously hungry enough.

Hungry like this bird, he should have stayed in the old camp to sleep and nourish his strength, and he came out to toss something.

So, later, Jiannusuo's 'sex' didn't even look like it, and let the Ningxiang military sappers outside keep busy.

Small bags of dirt began to appear on the open field, which were opened by sappers every 100 meters to open skylights above the tunnel in order to facilitate ventilation and the soil dug up by the other side.

These sappers are simply groundhogs, and they hate it so much that they can only watch with weakness and can't do anything.

As the tunnel dug by the sappers approached the enemy's earthen enclosure one meter by one meter, the spirit of the entire Ningxiang Army was mobilized. Seeing the sky, the officers of each battalion all ran to Sun Yuan like flowing water and asked: "Master Hou, how many meters did you dig today, when will you fight?" ”

Looking at those pair of fiery eyes, Sun Yuan didn't bother to say, "When you go to fight, you can ask Jiannu, and when there is a road in the Jiannu military camp, we will launch a general attack."

。 As for where the tunnels are dug, does it matter? Even if you dig under their butts today, you won't launch a general attack, so let's retreat! ”

There was no way, the generals could only retreat stupidly.

"When to fight" became the first sentence that almost everyone said when they met during this time, "When to fight, hum, ask Jiannu to go?" ”

So, everyone looked forward to the day when Jiannu would die like flies in winter.

Therefore, when they saw the raging fire rising in the enemy's incarnation field and smelled the smell of the "meat" of the people who were "wanting" and vomiting, the more than 20,000 Ningxiang troops were boiling.

However, Master Hou didn't seem to have the intention of doing anything, and everyone didn't dare to ask.

As for which day to attack, only Lord Hou and Mr. Qingzhu know, and it is useless to ask other people.

No way, let's just wait!

After Jiannu broke through to no avail, he no longer looked for trouble, and stayed in the barracks as a dead dog all day long.

The entire Ningxiang army is idle, except for the group of sappers who are like ground rats, fortunately, the weather is good, in fact, the rainy season seems to have passed. After a few days of sunshine, the mud on the ground was dry and cracked, and dust rose when I stepped on it.

So, someone suddenly realized: "Master Hou is waiting for a dry day, and the ground will be dry so that it will be convenient for the large army to fight." ”

It's a pity that everyone guessed the wrong thoughts of Sun Yuan and Fu Shan, after waiting for so many days, Sun Yuan's restless heart has also calmed down, and now he is not in a hurry. Both he and Fu Shan's eyes carefully observed the rise and fall of Jiannu's morale, pondering the days of the attack.

Seeing that the time has come to June, on this day Sun Yuan: "Lord Qing, people have begun to starve to death in the Jiannu army, it is estimated that Duoduo is still waiting for the news that Azig has taken Nanjing, but I don't know that the Qing army has been completely eaten by me." Is it time to hang out Azig's head and give them a fatal blow to shatter Dodor's illusions? ”

One can imagine what Jiannu would be in despair once he saw Azig's head.

Fu Shan: "Don't worry, let's let Xingtai grab a tongue and ask about the situation over there."

。 ”

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "Jiannu have become turtles with shrunken heads, and they refuse to go out of the camp even if they live or die, and they want to scratch their tongues, aren't you embarrassed Xingtai?" ”

As he was talking, Liang Mancang from the detective factory came in: "Master Hou, Mr. Qingzhu, Ruan Shangshu has put the Shi Pavilion Department under house arrest." All of Shi Kefa's staff were also arrested by him, and in addition, more than 20 relevant officials in Yangzhou City and the general soldiers of various towns were also arrested by him and tortured day and night. The cry sounded tight in the middle of the night, and the soldiers were a little 'commotion'. If it weren't for the strict discipline of the troops, the camp would have been bombed long ago if it had been replaced by other town troops. ”

"Shi Kefa is under house arrest?" Sun Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Fu Shan also shook his head: "The dignified Shi Cabinet Department, the first assistant of the Cabinet, was actually controlled by a military department Shangshu, should I feel that Shi Kefa is too weak, or should I feel that Ruan Yuanhai is spicy enough and ruthless enough?" This is the second time that Shi Gebu has been placed under house arrest, and the last time was Gao Jie. Gao Yingwu was domineering, and he held heavy troops, and Shi Xianyi was unguarded for a while. This time it's a good thing, Ruan Dacheng didn't have a single soldier in his hands, and he dared to make such a dead hand, and he was really a character. ”

Sun Yuan: "Ruan Yuanhai is well-known for his ruthlessness, but he did go a little too far by 'doing' this in my barracks. Lord Qing, do you see if it's ......?"

After Ruan Dacheng came to Yangzhou, he temporarily took the position of Shi Kefa's supervisor, nominally the governor of the entire Jiangbei soldiers and horses. But in fact, he came to rectify people, but it was a pity that he had no soldiers at hand, and he also knew that he had done extremely vicious things in the past, and there were too many enemies, so he asked Ma Luan to borrow a hundred "fine" and strong "guards" as his own guards, and set up his line in the Ningxiang army, and then began to arrest people everywhere.

said that it was a 'fine' strong guard, but in fact, in the eyes of Sun Yuan and even the other town soldiers in Yangzhou City, they were just a group of sons and brothers, wastes with no combat effectiveness. However, even if there were people in the city who wanted to be unfavorable to Ruan Yuanhai, they didn't dare to kill in the Ningxiang Army barracks, and they didn't look for death like this.

Moreover, Ruan Dacheng's line was set up in the Ningxiang Army, which made people wonder if he had Sun Yuan's support. Therefore, when Ruan Dabeard locked up the relevant people everywhere, everyone was tied up and obedient, and they couldn't afford the slightest idea of resistance.

Even if you think about it with your feet, Ruan Dacheng is holding one hand is from Ma Shiying's instructions, which is quite a fox and a fake tiger.

Although Sun Yuan and Ma Shiying have been a little unhappy in the past year, the two of them also have a love affair. As long as he Ruan Yuanhai was in the Ningxiang army, no one dared to risk him.

Fu Shan: "Yangzhou almost fell, Shi Kefa must take responsibility, and you don't have to worry about it at the beginning."

。 Also, he must have been instructed by Ma Yaocao to do this, and even the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven. It is estimated that Lao Ma wants to uproot Donglin, and the dispute between the court and the court is a troubled water, so let's not go there. ”

"That's it." Sun Yuan nodded, to be honest, as long as the affairs of the court did not involve his own vital interests, he would never participate in them. Anyway, he closed the 'door' in Yangzhou Town to become unified, and in the era when Wufu was the country, Yangzhou Town was the largest feudal town. No matter who is in power in the court, he dares to offend his grandson Taichu. Otherwise, as soon as you are unhappy, the problem is very serious.

At this time, Sun Yuan was already a representative of the military forces, and if he wanted to, he could be unscrupulous.

If you want to say that he has a headache, he is really a little frightened by Donglin.

After the two cases of Nandu, Donglin was already powerful under the joint attack of the emperor and the heroes of Ma Shi. However, they have a great public opinion base among the people, and it can be said that the entire bureaucratic clique in Nanming is composed of Donglin Party members, and the trend of public opinion in the whole society is controlled by them.

It is impossible for any ruler to do anything with Donglin, because they are the real ruling class of this era, unless you don't want officials to become a bare-bones commander.

This is also the reason why Sun Yuan conducted the so-called civil service examination in Yangzhou Town, and he wanted to set up another set in addition to the Donglin reading class, win over the frustrated literati, and confront Donglin.

Of course, the current Sun Yuan is just a warlord who takes a practical line, and he has not yet had any 'intersection' with the Donglin Party, which is accustomed to high-level struggles. In this case, he can't take the initiative to send the 'door' to find a scolding.

is full of shit in his ass, isn't he afraid of being hacked into a living Cao 'fuck' if he really provokes Donglin? Last time, he snatched Dong Xiaowan from Mao Xiang's hands, he has been demonized by scholars, and his reputation is beyond limits, if it weren't for the court's helplessness, he would have been dismissed from office a long time ago. It can be seen that a soldier is the king of grass, and the truth is within the range of the cannon.

I heard that Mao Bijiang was kidnapped by Erfeng when the Qing army besieged Yangzhou last time, and was later captured by slaves in the 'chaotic' army. This guy was a soft bone, and he surrendered to Duoduo and became a close confidant of the slave chief.

He was willing to degenerate and become a traitor, which made Sun Yuan breathe a long sigh of relief, because from now on, no one will scold him for robbing the people's 'women'.

Finally, Donglin has no reason to insult himself, this time Ruan Dabeard wants to engage Shi Kefa and Donglin Party, and he has no reason to wet his feet.
