Chapter seven hundred and twentieth snow cold blood heat
"This is?!"
Li Huajing was stunned. He thought that these two coffins were made by Gao Jie for himself, so that he could not break the sun and not survive.
However, how is the coffin filled with gunpowder?
The former leader of Shandong Green Forest was suddenly confused.
Several craftsmen were carefully sealing the coffin with a lid and sealing the coffin with glue made of glutinous rice and raw paint brought from the Guannei to ensure that there are no breathable holes on the coffin.
Li Yanzong explained to Li Huajing how to blast the city wall in a coffin for Gao Shuai. After hearing this, Li Huajing felt a little unbelievable that these two coffins could blow up the city wall in Chenyang.
When he commanded the Shunchao coalition forces to attack the North Gate, the Koreans' artillery bombed against the Chenyang city wall, but until the end, they didn't see any place that was called a blow-up. So just two coffins could blow up the city wall, and Li Huajing was really disbelief.
"Zhang Xianzhong's Western Army was exploding the Chongqing city wall in Sichuan using this method. The Chongqing city wall is no worse than Chen Yang..."
Li Yanzong used the Western Army's coffin blasting method to use actual combat, and the information used again in some places in the northwest was revealed.
"So, this method is really useful."
After hearing Li Yanzong's affirmative statement, Li Huajing became interested and confident in this explosion method. Zu Kefa came to report that the tunnel had been dug more than 100 meters into the city wall. At this speed, he could reach the city wall without dawn.
Gao Jie nodded, called his nephew Li Benshen and Cao Yuan, and ordered the two to lead their cavalry to closely monitor the movements in the city to prevent the Qing army from fainting and leaving the city to sneak attack the Shun army while it was snowing.
Li Huajing believed that the Qing army could not have the courage. Although they failed to attack the city during the day, the Qing army in the city was also seriously injured, so they should not be able to organize troops out of the city to attack.
Gao Jie smiled and said, be careful to sail for ten thousand years, don’t hit the eagle for a lifetime, and call the eagle pecked at the eye.
The wind and snow had no sign of weakening that night, and the Qing army did not boldly go out of the city to attack because the outside of the city was white.
Before dawn, two coffins filled with gunpowder were quietly transported into the tunnel, and dozens of soldiers struggled to pull under the Shenyang city wall.
Two fuses worth dozens of meters long were also driven out overnight. Jia Laoliu, an officer under Zu Kefa, was responsible for the blasting.
After everything was ready, it was still dark and there was no light in the east horizon. Only a little bit of white fish belly was vaguely seen.
All the troops of the Seventh Army were ordered to gather and remain silent outside the city.
The order they received was that once the city wall collapsed, it would rush into the city as soon as possible, quickly control the outer city and attack the inner city.
At the same time, the order that the horse and dogs were left unrestrained after the city was broken was once again conveyed to the ears of the officers and soldiers participating in the war.
In order to stimulate morale between the army, Gao Jie even allowed soldiers to rest for a day after breaking the city.
Everyone knows what it means to have a vacation after breaking the city.
The Seventh Army had no psychological burden on Tu Chenyang, because there were no compatriots in this city, only Manchu Tartars with their hands covered with blood from the Han people and traitors who were accomplices of the tiger.
Yesterday's failure to siege the city caused more than 3,000 casualties, which also made the Seventh Army, including the "friendly" Korean soldiers, hate the Qing army in Chenyang City to the core.
Before the official attack began, Gao Jie led the generals to a slightly higher terrain two miles away from the city wall, where you can see the Shenyang City.
The heavy snow that lasted for a night made the earth outside Chenyang City look like silver makeup and white.
It was very cold. All the soldiers of Shun Army were trembling and yelling, but their hearts were warm and their blood was hot. After the city was broken, military merits, wealth, and desire for women were deeply stimulated by them like a black hole of desire.
The remaining soldiers of the Independence Brigade were also squatting in the snow on the ground, and Hashner's eyes were even more fanatical when he looked at Chenyang City in the distance.
"Take a few sips and warm up."
Gao Jie threw the skin in his hand to his nephew Li Benshen, which contained strong wine. He felt so burned when he took a sip of ice and snow.
A triangular red flag suddenly stretched out from the trench dug out yesterday.
"uncle!"
Li Benshen's eyes were as sharp as a torch.
Gao Jie nodded slowly, and suddenly three signals ejected at dawn and then "swooshed" into the air, and then three red fireworks exploded in the air.
"ignition!"
Hearing the order from the tunnel entrance in the distance, Jia Laoliu burned the torch in his hand toward the fuse on the ground without hesitation.
With a "chi!", two fuses, Mars flashed, and blue smoke rose, burning towards the end of the tunnel at an extremely fast trajectory.
"Go, go quickly!"
Jia Laoliu pulled out his companion, and the two ran out of the tunnel without looking back. Although the fuse was very long, enough for them to run to a safe area, they had never experienced this blasting method before. Who knew if the coffin would bury them alive underground after the explosion.
He ran desperately, but he didn't want the torch anymore. He closed his eyes and ran forward desperately. He knelt on his head many times, and he didn't know how far he ran. Jia Laoliu thought it was time to explode.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a muffled sound coming from behind. The ground under his feet trembled violently. Then a heat wave came from behind, pounced on Jia Laoliu and his companions to the ground. The heat wave was accompanied by countless soil and fragments, which made them choke and grabbed the eyes, nose, nose, nose, snot, and they seemed to be suffocating and could not breathe. Then their eyes darkened and they fainted.
Outside the tunnel, everyone heard the muffled sound and felt the violent shaking from the ground.
"It exploded! It exploded!"
Li Yanzong, who was so sweaty that he had been oozing his nose, suddenly jumped up, regardless of his identity, and was shouting with his hands and feet.
Yang Qingquan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
Gao Jie's eyes were staring at the city walls of Chenyang.
The explosion occurred underground. The fire and smoke that soared into the sky did not appear. I felt the earth under my feet shaking violently, and then disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
I imagined that the Shenyang City Wall should have collapsed at this time, but after a few breaths, the imagined city wall did not collapse as scheduled, and still stood in front.
It's like nothing happened.
"What's going on, why didn't it collapse?"
Everyone quickly realized this problem and looked at the South Gate of Chenyang in amazement.
Why didn't the city wall fall?!
Everyone asked this in their hearts, and the cheers disappeared in an instant. The officers and soldiers looked ahead with wide eyes and puzzled expressions.
Jia Laoliu, who was carried out from the tunnel, also woke up. The first thing he said when he woke up was: "Has the city wall collapsed?"
But no one answered him, because everyone was staring at the city wall in the distance, with doubts and disappointments on their faces.
"Not collapsed?"
Jia Laoliu struggled to get up, and sure enough, the wall that should have collapsed was still standing there.
"Damn it, why can't it be blown up!"
