Zhao Shuncheng slapped his head and shouted: "I'm so stupid, thank you, sir."
He took a few empty barrels, filled them with earth that was about the same weight as gunpowder, connected them to a fuse about one step long, lit one and threw it out with all his strength.
The barrel flew almost thirty steps and fell down.
After throwing it away, he ran over and picked it up and shouted: "Four out of five are not extinguished, but one is extinguished."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "That's enough.
The ones that are extinguished can be ignited by others.
Are there any that can be thrown further?
It will be safer if it is further away."
Du Guangting stepped forward and picked up the barrel.
He tried it and found that it could be thrown to forty steps.
He shouted: "Zhao Shuncheng, you are responsible for lighting the fire, and I am responsible for throwing it."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Throw away the first one and immediately retreat.
Check the power.
It's better to be careful."
Zhao Shuncheng and his men quickly made ten identical explosive packets.
The artillery began to fire again, blasting the top of the city.
After confirming that there were no enemies on the wall, the two walked to about forty steps away from the city gate.
Zhao Shuncheng lit the fire.
He ran backwards, and Du Guangting threw it out with all his strength, just in the north gate of the city gate, and he also ran backwards.
More than a minute later, there was an earth-shaking loud noise.
A small part of the city gate collapsed, and gravel flew over where Zhao Shuncheng and Du Guangting had stood.
Du Guangting said happily: "This effect is good.
If used to defend the city, it can blow up a large area."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "No wonder your Majesty asked the Ordnance Bureau to create explosive bombs.
They are indeed much more powerful than iron thallium.
There are nine more.
Use them one by one.
Change people and throw them.
Don't hurt your hands."
Du Guangting said: "I can throw three more and then replace them."
Zhang Zongling looked at his legs and sighed in frustration.
Du Guangting threw three more explosive packets, blowing up the entire city gate.
Zhang Zongling said with great joy: "Sir, you can charge now."
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "What's the rush?
It's the Jiannu rush now, and we don't have to rush.
Give the order, each department will guard its own territory, and no charge is allowed.
The artillery will destroy the wall next to the city gate first, and open up a field.
Let’s talk about the place.”
Zhao Shuncheng asked: "Commander, have you lost the explosive pack yet?"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Of course you throw it away, it's best to throw it near the collapse.
Just put on the plate armor and be careful of Jiannu's bow and arrow."
Cao Wenzhao stepped forward and picked up two explosive packets and said: "Zhao Shuncheng, please light the fire.
Throw two at a time and try."
As expected, Cao Wenzhao was indeed a marksman.
The place where Cao Wenzhao threw his two explosive packets was right next to the collapsed city gate, and another part of the city wall collapsed.

Under the combined action of artillery and explosive charges, the north gate of Haizhou turned into an open space about fifty paces wide.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the panic and fear on the faces of the rear Jin soldiers in the telescope, and ordered: "The artillery moves forward fifty steps, and the infantry is on alert, ready to deal with Jiannu's charge at any time."
When the artillery advanced, the Hou Jin army did not rush out.
The artillery fired, but the Hou Jin army only shrank accordingly and made no move to resist.
At this time, in Haizhou City, Huang Taiji was discussing countermeasures with Yue Tuo and others.
They did not expect that the Ming army had such powerful siege weapons.
They did not need to climb the city wall at all, but directly destroyed the city wall.
Now that the city wall was destroyed, many Houjin soldiers were so disheartened and their morale was so low that they did not dare to fight at all.
Huang Taiji knew that if the situation was not reversed, the Dajin soldiers would soon collapse without a fight.
Yue Tuo said: "Is it too hasty to break through tonight?
Moreover, some supplies in the city cannot be taken away.
If they are burned, the Ming army will know that we are about to break out."
Huang Taiji said: "The longer we wait to break through, the lower our morale will be.
As for the Ming army knowing what we mean, don't you know it will be different if you don't burn them?
We will leave tonight.
You put up the red flag and leave first.
We will stop the rear."
Yue Tuo said anxiously: "Uncle Eighth, please follow us and go first."
Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "If I leave first, Zhengbai Banner will really be doomed.
At this time, the more you fear death, the faster you will die.
There is a saying among the Han people, which is to survive after death.
To break through tonight, it is said Maybe we can still gain something.”
Yue Tuo had no choice but to say: "I will accompany Uncle Eighth behind."
Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "No.
It won't make sense for both of us to stay here.
You have to leave first.
Remember, we Zhushen can't grow big by ourselves, we must rely on Han people."
Yue Tuo has always supported Huang Taiji and agreed with some of his views.
He believed that only the eighth uncle in the second generation of Hou Jin Dynasty was a truly understanding person.
But it would be impossible for him to tell the white flag to go first and the red flag to break later, because the hearts of the people in his flag would all be scattered.
Therefore, he could only give half of his white-armored soldiers to Huang Taiji, and ordered the leader of the white-armored soldiers to save Si Baile's life no matter what.
On the Guards side, Lu Xiangsheng was holding a meeting with generals above the battalion commander level.
First he said: "Jiannu will definitely break through tonight.
We can't see the enemy at night, and the power of our firearms will be smaller.
If they don't leave tonight, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave again."
Zhang Zongling said: "Sir, why don't you attack directly?
The city walls are damaged now, and there is no good location to establish slaves."
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "Those who can be solved with weapons should try not to take the lives of the soldiers.
Anyway, the slaves are locked up in the city now.
If they want to come out, we can wait for work outside and give full play to our characteristics of good defense, so that there will be less damage."
Kill more enemies by yourself."
Zhang Zongling said again: "The power of firearms has decreased that night, what should we do?"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "What should we do?
We have called everyone here to discuss what to do.
Why don't you talk to Brigadier Zhang first?"

Zhang Zongling said: "Light more torches and place them on the north gate wall, so that when Jiannu breaks through, we can see them and hit them with firearms."
Cao Wenzhao smiled and said: "This is a good idea.
But if you go to light the torch, you will become the target of Jiannu.
If you light the torch, won't Jiannu send someone to extinguish it?"
Everyone laughed.
Zhang Zongling touched his head and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
Du Guangting said: "We can lay mines in front.
Although the number is not large, it is better than nothing."
Zhang Zongling continued: "I remembered, we can sprinkle caltrops on the edge of the city wall, dig a deep trench not far from the city wall, pile up the soil, and set up artillery and muskets."
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at him appreciatively and said, "If you think carefully, you can actually come up with a good idea.
Sometimes you just slap your head and don't think carefully at all, which is a bit funny
