"This -" Zhang Pan made two meaningless gestures with his hand in the air and asked: "How did you dig this?"
He didn't even know how to ask, so he could only ask the easiest question that came to mind. It was freezing cold, and digging holes under the city to bury gunpowder, even with bare arms and pickaxes, might not be able to dig out the capital.
Is it a dead person?
Guo Dajing cupped his hands and said, "It was Cui Mengliang who pointed me out. I dug out the bricks and found a hollow inside, the original drainage hole."
This almost came out word by word, but it was coherent without stuttering.
Zhang Pan didn't know what to ask anymore. He thought for a while and then said: "So, are you sure?"
"Yes." Guo Dajing liked to answer this without any hesitation. He couldn't answer it more briefly and concisely.
Zhang Pan nodded, decided to trust his subordinates who had repeatedly made military exploits, and said: "Wait for me here, I will report to the general."
Inside the tent, Cui Mengliang was still talking, and happened to be talking about the hollow drainage hole.
"It can be dug out in less than a day." Chen Jisheng nodded, greatly impressed.
Guanglu Island guerrilla Shang Kexi said from the side: "To dig close to the city wall, we need the help of siege engines."
Siege vehicles are very common siege equipment, with four wheels underneath and a roof like a sloping eaves to cushion the impact of heavy objects;
It is also covered with rawhide or coated with mud to prevent the defenders from setting fire to it. Under its cover, soldiers can be transported, trenches and soil can be dug, etc.
When Zhang Pan heard about the drainage hole, he knew that Guo Dajing was not lying. His confidence increased a few percent. He stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "General, I have something important to report."
It was a bit unexpected, and Chen Jisheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw Zhang Pan, nodded and said, "General Zhang, just say it."
Zhang Pan then repeated what Zhou Qing and Guo Dajing said, and finally emphasized: "The general thought that we should give it a try. If we can succeed, there is no need to delay the time and increase variables."
All the generals looked surprised and looked at each other with expressions of "never heard of it" and "I don't know" in their eyes.
Chen Jisheng was also puzzled. He gestured twice in the air and said, "How sure are you?"
Zhang Pan bowed and said: "The general will believe them, I think at least 70% to 80% of them."
"If it's 70% or 80%, then there's no need to hesitate." Li Weiluan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter even if it fails, we can just build weapons to attack the city."
Liu Xingzuo said: "Zhou Xiaoqi and Guo Xiaoqi have made many military exploits, and they must be true."
"If the city wall can be blown open, our troops can be the vanguard." Shang Kexi rushed to ask for help. It showed bravery, and there was no loss if the city could not be blown open.
The other generals did not object. This is a risk-free attempt. If it explodes, then attack fiercely. If it does not explode, just act according to the original plan!
Chen Jisheng nodded vigorously and raised his voice, "Then according to the original plan, we will attack the city at Yinshi. The main attacking force will be commanded by General Shang, the reserve troops will be led by General Li, and General Yu will lead his troops to lie in wait..."
Because the original plan had Choi Hyo-il as an internal agent, the plan was to annihilate all the enemies, and there were ambushes at every city gate in Uiju.
Now, it is just a slight adjustment according to the direction of blasting the city wall. Moreover, Zheng Fengshou's Korean volunteers have been added, so the deployment is still not ready to let go of an enemy.
The order was issued, and under the guidance of the Korean volunteers, each unit was assigned to the mission area. Then they took the time to rest and wait for Yinshi's siege.
Chen Jisheng stayed behind in the main attack force. He wanted to see the spectacular scene of blowing open the city wall. Zhang Pan also stayed behind. After all, it was his men who wanted to carry out this dangerous and unbelievable task.
Time passed very quickly. In fact, after each department arrived at the designated location, there was not much rest time.
Guo Dajing slept soundly, and all the preparations were completed. It was up to God whether he would reward him or not.
It was Zhou Qing who woke him up, and Liu Qishi stood next to him. The expressions on their faces showed that they also couldn't believe the idea of blowing up the city wall.
"This - brother." Zhou Qing scratched his head and said, "Stay away from the city wall, don't get hit."
Liu Qishi laughed, patted Guo Dajing on the back, said nothing, and just waited to see a miracle.
Guo Dajing was full of confidence, smiled and nodded, got up and rushed to the front with Zhou Qing and others.
The woods two or three miles east of the city were already filled with soldiers in uniform, and the tranquility before the battle was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Zhang Pan saw Guo Dajing and others, stretched out his hand to greet, "Come here to see all the generals."
Guo Dajing and others hurriedly came forward to salute, and Zhang Pan introduced at the side: "Guo Dajing will not collect the flag at night, and sent out the flag to Zhou Qing..."
Chen Jisheng smiled and nodded, his eyes rested on Guo Dajing for a moment, and said: "Guo Xiaoqi is brave and powerful. This general has heard about it for a long time."
"He is a man who can kill Tulushi." Li Weiluan looked at it and said, "Did you also come up with this method of blowing up the city?"
"Let's, together." Guo Dajing answered first, including Zhou Qing and others.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Shang Kexi's eyes and he said, "What should we pay attention to when we attack later?"
Guo Dajing thought for a while and said: "If the city wall collapses, don't be dazed or afraid, just rush forward."
Hahahaha, everyone laughed.
Shang Ke laughed the loudest, took a step forward, reached out and patted Guo Dajing's arm, and said: "Don't worry, a certain group will lead three hundred elite cavalry to the front. This is the first step. If you come back safely, I will send him to you."
for you."
"General Shang is a famous general of the Dongjiang Army." Zhang Pan said from the side: "As long as the bombing of the city is successful, you don't have to worry about delaying the fighter plane and giving the Jianlu a chance to adjust."
This big traitor is still a fierce general!
Guo Dajing's emotions were a little complicated, but he didn't say much. After saluting the generals, he walked away.
It's time to show off your real skills. Such an amazing effect may make you more famous than killing a hundred Jianlu by yourself.
The agile and agile figure soon disappeared into the snowy fields outside the city shrouded in darkness. Even though the generals searched hard, they could not find him.
"Excellent skills." Chen Jisheng praised: "With such a sneaking ability, it is no wonder that he can get close to the city wall and dig into the wall to install gunpowder."
Shang Ke happily nodded slightly, the admiration in his eyes getting stronger. He turned around and ordered the entire army to prepare for a violent attack.
Zhang Pan maintained a reserved demeanor, but felt nervous and worried in his heart. Although he couldn't find Guo Dajing's hidden figure, he still stared at it with wide eyes.
Guo Dajing carefully sneaked forward while observing the lights and figures on the city.
When he got close to about 70 to 80 meters, he stopped moving forward, hid behind a snow hill, and took out his crossbow and two specially made rockets.
At this distance, it was not difficult to hit the ball of cotton-padded clothes wrapped in gunpowder. The key was that Guo Dajing did not know how far the broken bricks and rocks would fly if the city wall was blown down.
