Chapter 662 It exploded! It really exploded!(1/2)

 Some Jin troops dropped the ground bag but did not lose their lives. The original intention of the ground bag was not to take human life, nor did they have such power.

The depth of the ground bag is often about two meters, and no one can die if it falls. Its purpose is to delay the enemy's progress.

Several soldiers who fell into the trap soon discovered this fact. They tried hard to climb up, using their hands and feet while not forgetting to observe the movements around them.

There is no way, Qin Bing is so vicious.

Fortunately, the trap was not deep and the four walls of the floor were very smooth. Although they accidentally fell down, they were not injured.

A soldier climbed up with great effort, but did not dare to poke out the trap. He just turned his round head around, and a long halberd poked in front of his eyes!

I'll go!

It's so fatal!

Just in front of the land, a square hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the city wall.

It is about half the size of a blue brick, obviously used in conjunction with the floor bag, and the long halberd is pierced from the hole.

You can now know that the function of this land bag is to let the enemy fall into a trap and then facilitate the defenders to attack.

Such land covers are all around Nanyang City Tower, large and small, dozens of them.

As Wang Mi and his friends rushed to Nanyang City, many of the Jin soldiers fell into traps and were ambushed by Qin soldiers.

"Brothers, be careful to avoid the bag!"

"Follow me!"

Seeing the brothers being attacked by the enemy, Wang Mi was anxious and hurriedly asked them to follow his steps.

Fortunately, this land bag trap also has great limitations.

Once you are stepped on, it will be exposed immediately and it is difficult to recycle.

The target of the ground bag is large. As long as the cover is lost, ordinary soldiers can easily avoid it, which is not difficult.

"Jinu, General Liu, hurry up, let's put the gunpowder bag!"

The situation is so urgent that I can’t take much care of it. Wang Mi had only one goal in front of him, that is, to blow up the walls of Nanyang City!

"Zhiyuan, are these gunpowder packs really useful?"

"Can you really blow through the city wall?" Although Liu Yu did as he said, his doubts were still lingering.

He is a honest person. When facing major events in the war, he must be nailed or Mao, and he cannot make up for it.

Gunpowder is indeed powerful, but the Nanyang City Wall is equally powerful.

Because, the Nanyang city wall is actually covered with blue bricks!

The degree of strength increases exponentially.

With the construction technology level in the late Jin Dynasty, the city walls of this era were generally built with earthen walls. Although they could also be reinforced layer by layer and built various ancillary facilities to enhance the defense capabilities of the city tower itself, in front of the city wall wrapped in bluestone bricks, these were all slags.

The so-called bluestone brick wrap does not mean that the entire main structure of the Nanyang City Tower is made of bricks. The real situation is that the inside is still a plated earth wall, but a layer of bluestone bricks are wrapped on both sides of the earth wall.

Even so, the cost of building a city has risen sharply, so it is no wonder that the construction method of building a soil wall wrapped in bluestone bricks has appeared as early as the end of the Han Dynasty, but until the end of the Jin Dynasty, where wars were frequent, it was not very much used.

The cost is too high, and there is no way to do it. Especially after the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, there was never a strong and unified court in the Middle Land that spanned more than a hundred years. The long-term disputes and wars made it impossible for a unified plan for urban construction from the central court to the local government.

Each city, of course, also includes large counties like Nanyang, has its own policies in its construction, expansion and construction.

Whoever has money can increase defense measures infinitely, while those relatively poor or repeatedly ravaged by war are not so lucky.

First, such cities face more dangers, and secondly, because of constant wars, military spending is often in a difficult situation.

For example, those cities controlled by the Jin Dynasty were almost dreaming to expect the court to provide more military pay, money and food.

For Sima Yao, it would be a merit for him to be able to collect all the military expenses of the war that had just risen temporarily.

In short, the Great Jin court is poor!

The pattern of weak main trunks and strong branches is destined. The imperial court of the Jin Dynasty declined and the aristocratic family was prosperous.

The Xie family has to pay a lot of money for the support of the soldiers in the Northern Palace, let alone the soldiers in Jingzhou. The Huan family in Qiao County took over the whole hand.

Since your Sima family doesn't pay, I'm sorry, you can't command these troops.

Since even ordinary military expenditure cannot be guaranteed, don’t expect the Sima family to pay to distribute it to major military centers to help the defenders renovate and build city defenses.

Therefore, until now, Nanyang City was the first city that Wang Mi saw when he arrived at the end of the Jin Dynasty.

"Zhiyuan, isn't I exaggerating? Such a strong city wall cannot be penetrated by heavy crossbows. Can gunpowder have such great power?" Wang Mi put the gunpowder bag neatly, and kept silent. Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally raised a question.

In his opinion, this gunpowder pack is already their last killer weapon. If they cannot cause major damage to Di Qin, they will have to call out gold and withdraw their troops and escape back to Xinye City in shame.

However, the current situation is obviously not conducive to the Jin army.

Once they show a downward trend, Di Qin will definitely not let them go. At that time, the offensive and defensive sides will change positions. At that time, the Qin soldiers will not run in front, and the Jin army will chase after them.

Everything will turn around. Maybe the Qin Bing will take advantage of the good situation to chase Xinye and regain the lost city.

Whether Nanyang can win a battle can be said to be a matter that affects the whole body with one blow, and must not be sloppy.

Once they fail here, they will bring a catastrophe to the Jingzhou soldiers of Xinye City. Don’t forget that Xinye City is already short of troops.

It is still difficult to defend Xinye, so it is impossible to resist the Nanyang Power Team without thinking.

It is absolutely impossible to bring disaster to Xinye City because of Nanyang’s strategic mistakes. This situation in front of him really made Liu Yu worried.

However, why is Xiao Wang not in a hurry?

"Jinu, do you don't believe in the power of gunpowder?"

At the critical moment, someone was still in the mood to joke.

"It's not that we don't trust it, but that seeing is true. Nanyang City is not a good place for us to do experiments."

"If we can't blow up the city wall, we will be passive."

Tsk tsk...

Jinu said this, it’s so good that he has no level.

"If we blow through the city wall, we may not be able to take the initiative." Wang Mi placed the paper leads and took out the fire lead.

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Is it useless to blow up the city wall?"

What should I do?

The soldiers, not only Liu Yu, but also the soldiers who resisted tenaciously behind them were counting on this gunpowder pack!

If this doesn't work, then the soldiers of the Jin army will really be called "Daitian is not effective" and "Didi is not responding to it."

"Jinnu, don't be anxious."

"As long as we can make a breakthrough in the city of Nanyang, it is good. As for what will happen after blowing through the city wall, it is not something we need to consider now."

Wang Mi smiled and blew the fire lead, and as he watched the subtle flame recover little by little, he was overjoyed.

"I'm going to light the fire!"

"Do not quickly!"

hide!

Of course you have to hide!

Before Wang Mi could finish his words, all the general soldiers ran away.

It was not that he was obedient to his words, but that everyone was already familiar with the terrifying power of this gunpowder. Before the fire could approach, everyone escaped.

"Zhiyuan, it's you who are dangerous!"

"Hurry up and avoid it!"

Once the gunpowder exploded, it was quite suddenly. Now everyone has memorized how it caused harm to people.

The closer a person is, the more susceptible he is to be hurt. No one can afford that kind of damage, so what are you waiting for if you don’t run away?

If we say that there is only one person closest to the gunpowder pack now.

That is the one with the highest official position on the battlefield now.

Wang Mi, Minister Wang!

Everyone was worried about Mr. Wang, and his heart kept jumping, but he saw Mr. Wang being calm and relaxed now, like a real warrior.

Unparalleled courage.

"I'm not afraid or afraid, I'm prepared."

Prepare?

What can it be?

You can't see it even if you look left and right!

Thanks to the strong combat power of the Jin army in the rear, this gave Mr. Wang the confidence to pretend here.

Of course there is preparation.

The King of the King cherishes his life as gold, how can he easily get hurt?
To be continued...
