Everyone looked at Huang Li in astonishment, wondering if his words were sincere.

Huang Li reached out and patted Liu Xiang's arm, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, any move that can make the enemy uncomfortable is good."

"When the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, they used large trebuchets to throw the rotting corpses of people or horses into the city, causing an outbreak of plague in the city and defeating them without a fight. When traveling overseas, I have also seen sieges and fortified

Stronghold."

"It was a scorching hot summer, and there was a guarded trench outside the stronghold. The attackers not only poured feces and urine into the trench, but also threw in many animal carcasses, forcing the defenders to run away with the stench."

Huang Li looked at the changed expressions of everyone and said with a smile: "I think it's not enough to just throw this shit jar in this place. The same operation should be done in other places to make the smell spread wider.

”

This is a chemical attack! Although Huang Li doesn't agree with it very much, he also knows that Liu Xiang has used his brains. This needs encouragement and support, and we must not discourage him.

Not only that, Huang Li also stepped forward, reached out and picked up the jar on the ground, and called everyone to go to the next artillery base.

The turret is full of shit, and the high wall is equipped with artillery. What the hell is this? Huang Li endured the discomfort while still smiling.

Of course, his words and deeds still played a big role. Not only did Liu Xiang have light in his eyes, but other people also changed their attitudes.

"Mr. Huang, I'll do this." Zhao Xiaochuan and Zhang Wudi rushed forward, grabbed the jar in his hand, and then grabbed all the jars on the ground.

"You only have these few, they are not enough!" Yuan Dongbao gave up and complained to Liu Xiang, but he took up wonderful steps with his feet, neither advancing nor retreating, which is admirable.

It was his soldiers who had the foresight to step forward and carry away the last two jars.

Liu Xiang laughed and said, "Don't be anxious now. Just watch me finish the fight and you'll be sure to hit."

The trebuchet was ready. As Liu Xiang personally swung the hammer and smashed the iron hook, several stoneware jars flew out of the ammunition bag and flew towards the city head.

I was far enough away that I didn't hear the noise, but I saw the cans smashing against the city walls and crenelations, and the yellow stuff splattered everywhere. It was very disgusting.

Liu Xiang laughed more heartily and called to Zhao Xiaochuan, Zhang Wudi and others, "Come on, follow me to the next artillery base and throw them all into the city."

Yuan Dongbao hurriedly stood in front of Huang Li and said with a smile: "Let him do this small job. Let's go back! Sirs, we are still waiting to discuss the next step with you!"
p>

Huang Li nodded helplessly and told Liu Xiang to go back as soon as possible.

On the top of the city, a stench filled the air, and the yellow filth at the crenellations was disgusting.

"How despicable and shameless!" Mu Shenghui covered his nose and cursed angrily, watching as several soldiers brought water to wash away the feces and urine.

Crack! Not far away, several more jars were thrown up, causing a burst of exclamations from the Qing soldiers.

This stuff can't kill anyone, but it's so disgusting that no one wants to get involved with it and avoids it like snakes and scorpions.

The odor became stronger and stronger. It was refreshing and pervasive, allowing Qing soldiers to enjoy the feeling of going to the toilet at any time.

Mu Shenghui was so angry that his head was filled with smoke. He ordered artillery to bombard the city violently, destroying the enemy's fortresses and trebuchets that could attack the city.

"This group of thieves is getting worse and worse, and there is no lower limit." Mu Shenghui did not want to stay on the city wall and walked down the city wall angrily.

At this time, Dong Xueli came with a few soldiers to inspect. Seeing Mu Shenghui's appearance, he couldn't help but feel strange.

"I have finally met your lord." Although Mu Shenghui was full of anger, he still wanted to salute you.

Dong Xueli raised his hand and asked in a harmonious voice: "What's going on, Mr. Mu? Has something happened in the city?"

Mu Shenghui smiled bitterly, angrily told the enemy about their tactics of burying and killing them, and complained: "Why are the bandits so bad? They were never like this before!"

Dong Xueli comforted him by saying: "Seeing that there was no hope of attacking the city, the bandits became angry and acted despicably. General Mu need not be angry because of this."

"Thank you for your teaching, sir." Mu Shenghui bowed and said, "No matter what, it is wishful thinking to inspire our troops to go out to fight."

Dong Xueli hesitated for a moment, and was no longer in the mood to patrol the city, fearing that he would spit out all the food he had just eaten. He comforted Mu Shenghui for a few words, and then left with his soldiers.

It was only a matter of time before the moat was filled in, and the fierce offensive and defensive battle had just begun. Dong Xueli was not nervous, and had great confidence in Yiling's city defense.

………………

The battle lasted for another day. The Ming army was no longer passive and used trebuchets to launch a counterattack. Although it was at a disadvantage in terms of firepower, it also had a certain impact on the Qing troops.

By noon, the moat between the two north gates had been filled in and isolated. The drainage trench was immediately dug to the last meter and drainage work began.

By dusk, on the expected main attack surface, the moat had been filled with a passage more than ten meters wide. The biggest obstacle to attacking the city, the moat, was finally overcome.

As night fell, eight trebuchets were pushed into the dug fort under the cover of darkness. Under the command of Li Yue and others, they were placed and prepared to continue their counterattack on the city.

The construction of the trebuchet has stopped last night, and the craftsmen and civilian workers are working hard to build the trebuchet, causing the manufacturing quantity to increase rapidly.

Although in the view of the Qing army, the enemy wanted to attack the city wall and there were plum blossom piles to break through, but for Huang Lihe Tuying, the water level had dropped to meet the conditions for tunnel construction.

In the darkness, two large mountains of earth have piled up, less than 40 meters away from the moat. Behind the mountains of earth is not a trebuchet, but the mouth of a tunnel dug diagonally downward.

Lu Sanwei commanded the soldiers in the earth camp and finally started digging the tunnel. It is expected that the moat will be dug at dawn tomorrow.

The moat is two feet deep, and the top of the tunnel is one meter thick and one meter high. Even if there is mud at the bottom, there is still more than one foot of room left.

"Don't worry, sir, the general on the other side of the moat has already observed it. As long as we cover it with some trees, it will be enough to cover up our excavation operations."

Lu Sanwei reported to Huang Li respectfully, "It will take about thirty or forty steps to dig from the south edge of the moat to the city wall. The task can be completed in one day and one night at most."

These are all actions according to the plan made by Huang Li. Huang Li had nothing to say. He nodded and said, "Let's go ahead and do it. I've already asked people to do the blocking on the moat."
Chapter completed!
