On the second day, Wang Shuo was in good formation under Xining City early, waiting for the Shun army to come to fight.The Shun army did not attack, but took advantage of the darkness of the night, and built a stone wall in the narrow part of the pass that night, blocking the passage into the pass.No matter how Wang Shuo challenged, the Shun army hid behind the barrier and just didn't come out.Wang Shuo was quite strange.It stands to reason that He Jin came from afar to attack, the food and grass are limited, and he should fight quickly, how can he play defense, which one is this He Jin is suffocating in the canyon of Pingrongyi, there are high mountains everywhere, and there is nowhere to run, doesn't he want to die, he wants to withdraw his troops, but what is he doing with the stone wall at the pass Such a short stone wall, if he withdraws his troops and leaves, how can he block the attack of tens of thousands of troops, even if he withdraws his troops, the back road is blocked by Lu Yinchang, and Wang Shuo in front leads the troops to catch up, or the end of being surrounded, and he will die faster.Looking at the barriers and trenches that had been built by the Shun soldiers at the pass, Wang Shuo faintly felt a little weird.He didn't believe that He Jin would be so stupid as to wait for death in Pingrong Station.He Jin is a peasant army general with Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo, the general Liu Fangliang, Li Yan and other famous peasant army generals, who have practiced martial arts since childhood and have been in battle many times, so the possibility of doing such a stupid thing is too small.Wang Shuo did not dare to be careless, and ordered his soldiers to rest in place and strictly guard against a sudden attack by the enemy.At the same time, send people to climb the cliff of the canyon where Shun Bing is located to investigate.Soon, the commander of the reconnaissance reported that the Dashun barracks were silent, and there was no movement.It's impossible to run, there are still a lot of Shun troops behind the stone wall at the pass.Things are getting weirder.He asked the reconnaissance commander to reconnoiter the back of the Shun army camp and there was no such commander, and there were more than 20 of them, and they had already walked to a place where they could see another canyon clearly, and there was no trace of the retreat of the Shun army.Wang Shuo asked him to send another twenty people up the mountain to keep a close watch.He also asked Liang Anguo to lead the front army to monitor the pass in front to prevent He Jin from suddenly attacking, while he sat in the tent and pondered, what tricks He Jin wanted to play In fact, there would be all kinds of possibilities, and he could not respond to every possibility.But one thing he knew was that sitting here and waiting was definitely not the best way to do it.He Jin was so mysterious, obviously he didn't want him to know what he was doing.Then, when he knows what He Jin is going to do, he will think of a countermeasure, I'm afraid it will be too late.If you want to know what He Jin is doing as soon as possible, you can only break his barriers and attack his camp, and He Jin's secret will not be hidden.However, the stone wall is strong, and a large number of Shun troops are stationed there, so I am afraid it will be difficult to open the gap without paying huge casualties.At this time, he suddenly remembered that Liang Min had told him last night that Wu Langxi had made many iron flower bombs, and the experiment had a good effect.More than a dozen of the catapults were made when they were experimenting with iron shells.Perhaps, these flowering bombs can blow up the stone wall, after all, this is made of iron, and the power should be better than the pottery used in Zhangxian.Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the herald to go to the city and asked Liang Min to transport all the iron bullets and stone-throwing carts to the army.Whether you can blast the stone wall or not, it's better to try it before you say it than to sit here and do nothing.The sun had risen high, and just after the hour, more than a dozen stone throwers finally stood ten zhang away from the Shunjun barrier, and there were still a hundred and ten watermelon-like iron lumps on the ground.On the head of the iron bump, there is a half-foot-long hemp rope soaked in nitrate and coated with black powder, which is a fuse developed in Zhangxian County, and has been transformed by Wu Langxi to burn more evenly and better control the explosion time of the flowering bomb.The Shun army on the rampart had seen the stone throwing cart and knew that this thing was not very powerful, so they were not afraid, but they each looked for a place where the stones could not be hit and hid, and did not plan to retreat and leave the stone wall.This time, they couldn't have been more wrong.With the shouts of the Ming army officers, the stone-throwing cart started, making a loud "squeak" sound.In the first salvo, more than a dozen swarthy things, sparks sparked on the fuse, and flew into a parabolic shape towards the Shunjun rampart.After a short silence, a series of deafening noises followed, and all the soldiers present had their ears hurting, and they had no time to react to cover their ears.The orange-yellow blasting light flashed at a rapid speed behind the stone wall, and the earthquake trembled and the military fortress was instantly splashed with earth and stones, and the smoke was filled with smoke, and the fire was in the sky.The limbs, internal organs, and intestines that had been blown up were thrown more than ten feet high together with stones and dust.The smoke and dust cleared, and the neat stone walls of the ramparts were scattered and almost disappeared.Everywhere there were broken corpses and rags, and flesh hung on the cliffs of the cliffs.Many soldiers who lacked arms and legs held their wounds and howled loudly, which was unbearable.The range of the catapult was limited, and it was too close to the center of the explosion, and several of the unstable ones were also blown down by the air wave of the explosion, and the soldiers of the Ming army operating the catapult were all lying on the ground.Some were blown down by the blast wave, and some were directly frightened by this formation.Wang Shuo stood in the distance behind the catapult, originally wanting to observe the blasting effect of the iron blossom projectile.Now, he was stupid.In modern times, he has not personally experienced the war, but has just watched the war TV series, imagining it out of thin air, how can he know the power of the real shell explosion It turns out that the shell explosion in the TV series is fake, and it is 108,000 miles worse than the real explosion.This thing is so hung that it almost blew itself up.It's not just that Wang Shuo was stupid, no one in the Ming army had ever seen such a tragic scene, they were all stupid, staring blankly at the enemy's barrier, unable to move.It was Liang Anguo, the commander of the former army, who was the most courageous and the first to react.The heart said, our general really has a hand, the things he made are getting more and more evil, more than a dozen iron bumps will be reimbursed to the Dashun army, fortunately, I was afraid that the opponent's bow and arrow would be shot, and I didn't move the stone throwing car a few feet forward, otherwise even we ourselves would have finished playing, and we knew that a dozen flowering bullets would work if they were launched in one round, and what were you going to do with so many clumsy and heavy iron bumps, what are you going to blow up this pass, what is it He shouted at his subordinates: "What the hell are you doing to give me up" Ming Jun reacted, and rushed into the pass with a hula
