Countless red-hot projectiles roared towards the twenty or thirty gunpowder carts, and under this dense hail-like blow, the twenty or thirty gunpowder carts were torn apart in an instant, and Liu Zhiyuan covered his ears tightly with both hands, because the explosive power and loud noise of those gunpowder carts in the past could simply deafen people's ears.
All the defenders in the city also subconsciously habitually covered their ears.
However, without the gunpowder explosion they had hoped for, without the deafening explosion of the past, and without the shock wave that scraped everyone's faces, the twenty or thirty gunpowder carts, under the bombardment of shells like hail, were so flying with sawdust.
"It's not good, it's empty."
Liu Zhiyuan was in a cold sweat at that time, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, the enemy paid such a heavy price for the longbowmen, could it be that he let his cannon blow down those fake gunpowder carts The answer came out in a blink of an eye, and in the short time of the reloading of these cannons, in this short gap, hundreds of enemy soldiers rushed out from behind the covering brothers, each with the huge explosive bag in their arms, and rushed to the fortified city wall with their arms in their arms.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the enemy's purpose, the enemy used longbowmen to deceive their own protection, suppressed their archers, and then used twenty or thirty fake ammunition trucks to suck up all their artillery, and then they used manual methods to transport explosives packages under their own city walls, and then piled them up to blow up their own city walls.
"Stop them, and the archers immediately step forward and block them."
Liu Zhiyuan shouted at Xie Sidi, brandished the war knife in his hand, roared and roared at the cowering archers, and then his subordinates mercilessly slashed and slaughtered the cowering archers.
Liu Zhiyuan's personal soldiers also knew that this was a critical time, and if they couldn't stop these desperate people from rushing under the city wall, the fall of Niuzhuang would only be a matter of an eye.
And so, like their commanders, drew their broadswords from their waists, kicked and struck, and did not hesitate to cut off their heads, and drove the archers towards the slaughterhouse-like wall.
Fearing the fierceness of the warlords, the archers, who had already been frightened, had to rush to the slaughterhouse-like wall again, but before they could gain a foothold, batch after batch of huge arrows swept through the wall like a storm again, and immediately killed the archers who had barely rushed forward.
So, no matter how violent Liu Zhiyuan was and how ruthless he was, he didn't have any power to stop the hundred dead soldiers under the city, rushing under the city wall with those explosive bags, and then stacking them together, just shouting: "Fight to the death for the father and old man behind him."
Then he resolutely ignited the explosive pack.
The fire twist of the explosive bag is so short, it does not leave any chance for the city to go out with boiling water, but in the blink of an eye, one hundred, each full 20 catties, a total of 2,000 catties of strong black powder, exploded under this section of the city wall, with the collapse of the Niuzhuang city wall, it was the life of the hundred dead soldiers who forgot to die disappeared instantly, and there were countless longbowmen who refused to leave and stuck to their posts, and also entered the ranks of martyrs with this roaring explosion.
The city wall collapsed, although the collapse was only a short section, but after all, it opened the gap of this iron walnut, so countless brothers of the Fuliao Army with tears in their eyes broke out with an earth-shattering cry, surging towards this gap like a tide.
Liu Zhiyuan, who was dizzy, pushed away the personal soldiers who were blocking him, as well as the tattered shield, as well as countless bricks and tiles, staggered up, and then looked at the city, what he saw in his eyes was the boundless red tide, which was surging towards his Niuzhuang City, he couldn't hear any sound, only looked at the soldiers of the Fuliao Army, with their big mouths open, staring at blood-red eyes, he could only feel his city wall, trembling in the enemy's roaring footsteps.
With a shake of his head, his sense of hearing immediately recovered, and the earth-shattering sound of rushing and killing immediately filled his mind.
But at this time, he only heard the shouts of the enemy, but did not hear the resistance of his subordinates, and looked up, on the left and right of the collapsed city wall, his men collapsed there like zombies one by one, without any wounds on their bodies, and suddenly pulled up a personal guard beside him, this thin personal soldier, the bones all over his body seemed to have been shattered, and his whole body was like noodles, looking carefully, his face was pale, and his whole face had a strange smile, but from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears, There were thin streaks of blood flowing out.
This was shocked to death, if it weren't for the thick pro-soldiers in front of him, he would inevitably have entered the current situation, Lu Hanqiang's explosives bag was too terrible.
Niuzhuang must not be lost, this is the most critical time to serve the imperial court to protect his foundation, so Liu Zhiyuan shouted loudly to the inner city: "Reserves, hurry up to the city to plug the gap." ” The war has been going on for more than ten days, but in fact, the soldiers who are temporarily recruited are all consumed by the enemy on the city wall, and the elite he really selects carefully has been raised behind by him with good food and drink, this is his own guarantee, his last trump card, and it is easy not to throw it out.
Each of these elites, carefully selected by themselves in their own jurisdiction, has received the favor of their younger brother, and each of them has seen with their own eyes that at the beginning, their younger brother, in order to save their lives, single-handedly, just one person faced the tens of thousands of musketeers of the entire Fuliao army, and then died calmly in the eyes of everyone.
This is the capital that his younger brother left for himself, the people know how to be grateful, at this time, you don't want to talk to him about the country's righteousness, the country is a very distant concept for them, let alone talk to them about loyalty, because in the minds of these Han people, the high Huang Taiji, no matter how he dresses, is just a barbarian with a noble hat, and will not be recognized by the Han nation in any case, the reason why the Han people in Liaodong can live in humiliation now, originally, It is because everyone has completely despaired of the Ming court, and although Lu Hanqiang has risen later, Huang Taiji's high-pressure methods, Huang Taiji's butcher's knife, can only make these people accept this kind of rule, and it is precisely because of this east wind that these generals can get this opportunity to get ahead.
Therefore, there is no concept of the state and monarch in the hearts of the Han people in Liaodong, and all the Han people in the northeast, they only have one concept to maintain their group existence, that is, kindness, which is the land of Yanzhao that has gone through several tug-of-war barbarian nations and Han people in the north, including the northeast region this time, the people of the Han nation always have those righteous people who are generous and sad. t1706231537:
