Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 238 Another trick!

With a scream, a Ming soldier thirty steps away was shot and fell to the ground.

"Bang bang bang!" The sound of the bow string vibrating continuously sounded from behind Shi Tu, and one could guess without turning around that it was the Banner Ding who was following him who had rushed up and was shooting arrows at the Ming army in the gap in the inner city wall.

More bannermen rushed past Shi Tu and the others, heading for the gap.

In the gap ahead, a dozen or so Ming soldiers who had just emerged were shot and killed in an instant.

For these Eight Banners soldiers, the distance of thirty steps is simply for nothing.

"Go to hell, you dogs of the Ming Dynasty!" Shi Tu grinned, and drew his bow again.

Then the next moment, the smile on Shi Tu's face froze instantly, what the hell is this?

Because at this moment, a "giant shield" that was so huge that it was beyond imagination suddenly appeared in the gap in the inner city wall. This giant shield was so big that it easily blocked the entire gap!

The length of this "giant shield" cannot be seen clearly, anyway, after the gap is blocked, the head and tail cannot be seen.

But the height of the "giant shield" on this side, the stone map can clearly see, it is a full ten feet high!Good guy, what kind of giant shield is this? It's clearly a wooden city wall!

And it's a wooden city wall that can move!

"Stop them!" Shi Tu roared hysterically.

"Stop them quickly, absolutely don't let them block the gap, stop them quickly!"

Dozens of bannermen who had just rushed into the Urn City howled, brandished their sabers and rushed towards the gap in the inner city, trying to prevent the Ming army from fixing the huge shield to the gap in the inner city wall.

However, it was too late, and the bang bang sound could be heard across the wooden city wall.

Just listening to these sounds, one knew that the Ming army was hammering the stakes.

If the Ming army were allowed to hammer the wooden stakes used to fix the wooden city wall into the ground, then with the manpower of dozens or even hundreds of bannermen, they would no longer be able to tear them down.

But Qi Ding's speed is also very fast.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen bannermen rushed to the wooden city wall first, pushed with all their strength, and remained motionless.

Without the slightest hesitation, more than a dozen bannermen immediately set up adult ladders two by two, preparing to serve as human ladders for the bannermen who arrived later, so that their companions could step on the human ladders they built to attack.

However, at this moment, a row of holes suddenly appeared on the wooden city wall.

Immediately, more than a dozen spears were protruded from the hole and stabbed at Qi Ding's body.

Fortunately, most of the bannermen were wearing chain mail, so there was no serious problem, but they were caught off guard and knocked to the ground, and the subsequent bannermen could not step on the ladder to attack.

With just this moment of delay, the wooden city wall blocking the gap suddenly grew taller!
I saw that the wooden city wall, which was only one foot high, suddenly doubled in height and became at least two feet high!
Well, it’s not that it’s taller, it’s that a wooden city wall is superimposed on the wooden city wall, and it is fixed with mortise and rivets in the middle.

Immediately there were continuous piling sounds and the creaking sound of wooden beams supported on the wooden city wall, and the two wooden city walls immediately stuck tightly to the inner city wall.

Hearing this movement, even through the wooden city wall, the stone map can imagine,

There must have been hundreds of wooden beams slanting behind the wooden city walls at this very moment.

So at this time, they alone are powerless, and I am afraid that only the cannons in red can blast this wooden city wall again!
Thinking of this, Shi Tu didn't hesitate any longer.

At that moment, Shi Tu shouted sharply: "Back it!"

However, it was only at this time that I thought of retreating, but it was already a bit late.

As soon as Shi Tu's voice fell, bundles of straw, wheat straw, and dry firewood were thrown down from the inner city wall, the outer city walls on both sides of the gap, and even the moving wooden city wall.

"Rewind!" Seeing this, Shi Tu's pupils shrank sharply.

It has to be said that Shi Tu and the Eight Banners soldiers have cast a shadow over the Ming army in Shanyang City.

All the Eight Banners turned around sharply, scrambling to retreat to the gap in the outer city wall. Almost at the same time, hundreds of torches were also thrown down from the city, and the fire started to burn.

As soon as the fire started, it quickly spread in the Wengcheng.

It stands to reason that even if there are burning materials such as straw, wheat straw, and dry wood, the fire will not be so fierce.

"The thief of the mother, and the Ming dog's tricks again!" Shi Tu immediately realized that there must be a sulfur fire buried in the underground of the urn city in advance, waiting for flammable materials, and maybe gunpowder was also laid!
Because Shi Tu clearly smelled the smoke of gunpowder burning!
In short, the flames filled the entire Urn City almost instantly.

Shi Tu looked forward in horror, only red was left in his vision.

Even so, Shi Tu didn't dare to stop, so he could only bite the bullet and run forward.

While running wildly, Shi Tu could clearly feel that his back, legs, arms, and bowl were all on fire. The flames ignited his cotton armor and penetrated through the chain mail, roasting him to the core. pain.

……

Before the fire started, Duoduo was talking and laughing with Shang Kexi outside the city.

Duoduo said: "Needless to say, this man Yan Yingyuan's resourcefulness is something I have only seen in my life. However, in the face of a red-clothed cannon and other sharp siege weapons, any resourcefulness is useless."

Shang Kexi said: "My lord's resourcefulness is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"King Zhishun, you are too famous." Duoduo laughed and said, "However, Yan Yingyuan gave up so simply, which really disappointed me a little. I thought he could play more tricks..."

Having said that, Duduo's voice suddenly stopped, and then he looked straight ahead.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Shang Kexi looked in the direction Duoduo was staring at, and then let out a little surprise, "Hey, why did it catch fire? It shouldn't have happened?"

How could it be set on fire before the robbery started?

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi was suddenly taken aback, shouldn't it?
Doduo also thought of this possibility, and immediately raised his heart.

At the moment, Duoduo was not in the mood to chat with Shang Kexi, so he quickly opened the binoculars and aimed at the gap.

With the help of the binoculars, Duoduo could clearly see the gap, but he saw that the gap had been completely swallowed by the fire. Just looking at the fire and its direction, Duduo immediately realized that he was a thief, and he was caught again. !

After a while, bannermen rushed out of the gap one by one, and all of these bannermen were on fire.

A bannerman had already escaped from the gap, but he still couldn't bear the pain of the burning body. He fell to the ground and wailed repeatedly, trying to put out the fire while rolling, but it was futile.

After a while, only a slight twitch was left on the bannerman, and finally there was no more twitch.

The corner of Duoduo's mouth also began to twitch, and there seemed to be a roar in the void: Yan Yingyuan!The thief set fire again!

……

The fire lasted for about half an hour.

The fire was extinguished and the sky completely darkened.

Because it was already dark by this time.

Looking at the embers of the flames below, Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "Damn, let the artillery team set up all the tiger squatting cannons on the inner city wall, and all the musketeers go up to the city wall to seal the gap in the outer city wall. Make sure that the Jiannu do not sneak attack from the gap in the city wall, and then ask the civilian men to repair the gap in the city wall overnight, not only the inner city wall, but also the outer city wall.”

"You don't need to build it too high, two feet high is enough, and you don't need to build it too strong."

"It's enough to hold the Hongyi cannon for a few days. I don't believe it. How long does it take to build slaves?"

Speaking of this, Yan Yingyuan turned his head and looked out of the city again, would Jiannu dare to come again?

……

"Master, the slave will be punished with death."

Shi Tu knelt down in front of Duo Duo with a puff.

"Get up, it's not your fault." Dodo said, "You have tried your best."

Shi Tu got up slowly, and roared again with red eyes: "Master, after breaking the city, this servant asks to kill Yan Yingyuan, the thief, and cut him into pieces, so that the hatred in my heart will be relieved!"

"Yes." Duoduo said with a dark face, "If you really have to break the city, I allow you to cut it alive."

Now that the battle of Shanyang has been fought, Duoduo has also been hit with real fire. This king still doesn't believe it. A mere Shanyang city can really stop this king's army?
After a pause, Duoduo asked again: "Shi Tu, what happened just now?"

Shi Tu then told Duoduo exactly what happened when they rushed through the gap in the city wall and entered the urn.

"A wooden city wall? Can it still be moved?" Duoduo frowned and asked, "I don't know the length, but the height is at least one foot?"

"Yes, it's a wooden city wall that can move." After Shi Tu finished speaking, he briefly described the appearance of the wooden city wall.

After hearing this, Hou Fangyu's heart suddenly moved, and he said: "My lord, maybe that is not a wooden city wall, but a tank boat in the Yamen of the governor of Hecao."

"You said it was a tank boat?" Duoduo asked.

"Xiaosheng suspects it is." Hou Fangyu said, "Because the shape of Nanming's tank boat is about seven feet long, one foot wide, and the draft is between three and five feet. Standing horizontally, it is exactly the log that Mr. Shitu said. wall."

Hearing this, not only Duduo, but also Tun Qi, A Shan, He Luohui and others all became extremely embarrassed.

Because the shape and size of these tank boats are like ready-made wooden city walls, it is very suitable to fill the gaps in the city walls blasted by the Hongyi cannons, and the repair speed is extremely fast.

As long as the tank boat is erected horizontally and supported, can you be unhappy?

Duduo thought of another serious question: "Hou Fangyu, you said before how many tank boats there are in Shanyang?"

Hou Fangyu said without hesitation: "I don't know the exact number, there must be more than [-] ships, maybe there are thousands of ships, because Shanyang is the place where the governor of Hecao is stationed."

Duoduo's complexion instantly turned black.

More than a thousand tank boats and more than a thousand wooden city walls that can move, so what's the point?

They finally blasted a gap with red cannons, but the Ming army easily filled it with tank boats, and sent them another wave of fire attack by the way, who can bear it?
The Battle of Sanyang has continued until now, how many people have they died?

Fifteen Niulu and more than [-] bannermen have been killed before and after!
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked that so many bannermen have already died in battle!
In addition, more than [-] coats were killed in the front and back, adding up to tens of thousands!God damn Yan Yingyuan!
