Chapter 202: If you are poor, you will fight with blood, and if you are rich, you will blow up Laozi
Blasting group...
OK, this one really has it.
"Dad, the baby is back!"
The first whistle commander of the Blasting Battalion, the former native of the Liaoyang Prefecture, Great Liao, Tokyo, said in the biting cold air.
Behind the city tower standing in front of him, the Guangyou Temple Tower stood tall.
He lived behind this city wall under this pagoda that was more than 20 feet high for seventeen years. His father was still a businessman with little assets. When Gao Yongchang rebelled, his father was forced to give up part of his property to keep his peace. But immediately after the Jurchens conquered Liaoyang, they killed all his family in the name of Gao Yongchang's followers and snatched all his property, leaving him alone to escape from the city.
Now he is back.
Come back as the Avenger with a good thing.
"Come on, keep up!"
He waved his hand behind and whispered.
He was wearing a white sheepskin coat and then rushed to a frozen ditch in front of him and crawled forward in the snow. A dozen companions behind him climbed directly along the ditch to the moat in the same posture. Although there were no patrol soldiers on the wall above his head, they remained cautious to the greatest extent. To know whether this trip could be successful in one fell swoop, it was all up to them.
Then they climbed across the frozen moat.
Then they clung to the city wall and quickly entered the gate of the city.
After entering, Li Hu immediately took off his fur coat outside, untied three wax sealed bamboo tubes from his back, and handed a bundle of silk to the back, and the other men untied the bamboo tubes they were also carrying, which were filled with gunpowder. The bamboo tubes were packed and then sealed with wax to ensure dryness to the greatest extent. Then they gathered together to quickly make gunpowder bags, which were specially prepared. Although Wang Yue was actually not very clear about the ratio of gunpowder for various purposes, fortunately he knew about the experiment.
Since he was in Kaifeng, he has tested it every day, and roughly has tested the different powers of various ratios.
This is of course the most powerful.
Originally it was specially used for thunder bombs, but it was also very good to use gunpowder packs to blow up the city gate.
In fact, Wang Yue was not interested in making cannons in a short period of time. The main reason was that he lacked copper too much. Even the Song Dynasty used copper and iron coins, and even used a large amount of paper money. It is conceivable how much copper was lacking.
Muskets are not in a hurry either.
As an armor-breaking weapon, the Divine Arm Bow is not worse than a primary musket. Besides, if the turtledove gun is drawn, he is still afraid of being killed by one shot. At least in a short time, he will only use a three-eyed gun to scare the cavalry.
And blasting is the most cost-effective.
Of course, it is not a city gate bomb, but a city gate must be a sneak attack.
But in fact, in real battles, the defense will simply block the city gates, so the real focus of training is to dig tunnels and blow up the city walls. Today this is just a test of the blasting camp.
Soon a gunpowder pack made of twenty kilograms of gunpowder was completed.
However, after adding layers of wrapped silk, the actual weight has reached fifty kilograms, which is completely huge.
This thing is actually not suitable for making explosive packs. The burning speed is slow and it must be wrapped very thickly. Moreover, the power is actually very tragic. The power of twenty kilograms is probably only a 100mm mortar shell, which cannot even reach 120. However, it is enough for the city gate to burn this kind of wood wrapped iron.
Then the second gunpowder bag was also completed. In case Li Hu made a third backup, several other soldiers also took out a hole under the city gate. A gunpowder bag was immediately stuffed in, and the soil was refilled and tamped, and the fuse protected by the bamboo tube reached out from the ground.
"Walk!"
Li Hu waved his hand out.
The other soldiers quickly with two other made gunpowder bags, and after the last person went out, Li Hu ignited the fuse without hesitation.
Then he rushed out as fast as possible.
Just as he turned to the side and covered his ears, an explosion like a crack in the sky and the earth sounded, and the fire mixed with smoke and soil sprayed out directly from the door hole beside him. At this moment, his ears were even deaf, and he screamed involuntarily, but at the moment when the explosion ended, he rushed towards the smoke.
"quick!"
He shouted while rushing into the door hole filled with smoke.
At the same time, countless figures suddenly climbed up on the snow outside the city and began to run wildly towards this side. Even further behind, more figures appeared in the snow field.
These are commando teams.
The blasting team blew the city gate. The commando was lurking in the snow disguise, blew open the city gate and rushed in as fast as possible, and then occupied the city gate to cover the subsequent cavalry entering the city. The season gave them great convenience. Otherwise, they had to put down the suspension bridge and pass through the moat. But at this time the moat passed directly. This step was omitted, and these commandoes suffered a little while lurking in the snow...
Fortunately, this is not worth mentioning.
All of these are from Liaodong, and this cold is still acceptable.
Li Hu, who didn't bother to see these, directly crashed into the smoke of gunpowder. The soldiers behind him followed with two gunpowder bags. The city gate inside had already been blown open, but in fact it was broken. It was just a wooden board wrapped in iron sheets. Li Hu even tripped by the explosion pit. Then he got up and continued to run forward and ran out of the door hole into the urn. The screams above his head were also sounding. It was obvious that the soldiers guarded on the city tower had been awakened. He was running at full speed and didn't even look at it. Then he rushed into the main city gate hole, and his subordinates rushed into the door hole.
Then the two soldiers dug wildly with special shovels like groundhogs.
In a blink of an eye, a pit directly below the city gate was dug out on the rammed earth road surface. Li Hu stuffed a gunpowder bag. At this time, the commando team lurking outside the city had already rushed through the moat and began to enter the gate of the city gate.
"Stop!"
He yelled at the back.
Then he didn't care about filling the soil, and immediately ignited the fuse and rushed out as quickly as possible.
"There are people below!"
A scream rang out above the head.
The commando behind was so scared that they stopped at the door opening. This kind of blasting was equivalent to treating the door opening as a gun barrel. The power of the explosion did not affect the hiding beside them, but the one passing by the front was equivalent to facing a shotgun.
Immediately afterwards a defender leaned out of the female wall.
Li Hu waved at him with a smile, and the man leaned out hard to see him clearly...
"boom!"
The explosion of the sky collapsed and the earth cracked sounded again.
Then, as the fire and smoke sprayed, the soldiers above their heads were frightened and screamed and fell, and just hit Li Hu's feet.
"Ha, Liu Er, you Liao traitor!"
Li Hu looked at the familiar face under his feet, and while speaking, he raised his foot and stepped on the latter, stepping directly over his mouth with blood. Behind the smoke filled the inside, a vague light was visible, telling him that he had succeeded again. He pulled out his axe without hesitation and rushed in, shouting and rushing in. His subordinates were also shouting and surging in like the commandos. Then a familiar city appeared in front of him again. He stood in front of the door hole filled with smoke, looking at everything in front of him with tears in tears.
Then he turned around without hesitation, took the third gunpowder bag from his subordinates, and almost didn't even look at it, he pested the fire stick on the fuse.
The lower part of his back was so scared that he quickly retracted back to the city.
But he carried this terrifying killing weapon and looked quietly ahead there...
Suddenly he threw it to the right, then retreated to the urn at full speed, and at the same time, a large number of Jurchen soldiers gushing out of the Tibetan soldiers' cave appeared outside the door.
"boom!"
Li Hu shouted exaggeratedly.
Before the Jurchen soldiers could react...
"boom!"
The explosion instantly swallowed them...
"Kill, kill all the Jurchens!"
Li Hu roared.
Behind him, the commandos rushed in, stepped on the broken dead bodies, and quickly turned to the horse road on the side of the city.
There are indeed many defenders in the hidden military cave in the city. The defense of this kind of city gate is like this. Every day, there are rotating soldiers stationed in the Tibetan military cave, which can enter the defense state in the shortest time. The large hidden military cave is like the Zhonghua Gate Tower in Nanjing, and can even accommodate thousands of people. Unfortunately, Li Hu, the local native, also knows this very well, so he simply threw the third gunpowder bag aside. More than one hundred defenders who had just rushed out were blown up.
The rest were completely stunned by the explosion.
The commandos simply cut these guys to death and rushed to the city wall.
This is the Great Liao Gate in the northwest of Liaoyang City. As for the name Jurchens changed it to, no one knows.
Just as the commando occupied the Daliao Gate, the surging cavalry torrents behind rushed towards the trembling of the earth, as if submerged the black tide of the snowfield. The carriage in front was once again submerged by the cavalry because it was too slow. The captain of the coach Wang's personal soldiers also abandoned the commander again and rushed to the front with one horse...
"These bastards!"
Wang Yue looked at his subordinates running over from both sides and said with a sad and angry look on his face.
There is no way, he has to charge forward and show off again. How could there be such a good thing that is the best of both worlds? He can't all blow up the city gates, and he still stops and waits for him to go in first?
Uh, he is not Xiao Lian’s sister.
Standing high on the Iron Throne, he could only watch Yang Zaixing rush into the doorway first.
Then the torrent of cavalry poured in.
Because of the crowded cavalry in front, Wang Yue's carriage was blocked again, so he had to sit there with a melancholy look on his face and watch his subordinates charge.
At this time, firelights were already lit up everywhere on the city wall. A large number of defenders were flocking to the nearest corner tower and the south Tianshun Gate, preparing to retake their city gate. These guys reacted very quickly, after all, they were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles. But this was useless. The commandos had quickly solved the remaining defenders on the city tower, and then occupied the commanding heights of the city tower, and picked up the guard's bows and arrows to prepare to defend the city tower to cover the influx of cavalry.
Because of the crowding, the cavalry that could not flow into the city in a short time also raised their bows and arrows outside to shoot at the city wall.
The originally few reinforcements fell down in the rain of arrows in a blink of an eye.
That was nearly 30,000 cavalrymen.
There was just a city gate hole, most of which had to be temporarily stuck, and the cavalry bows were like heavy rain covering the city walls.
The bell of an alarm in Liaoyang City rang.
Chapter completed!
