He basically never fought in the defensive battles. He basically belonged to the side that attacked the city. However, except when he defeated Prince Zhu Ming, he rarely fought in any brutal siege battles.
Because after most people heard the name of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were basically frightened.
Then he abandoned the city and fled!
There will be no time to attack the city!
But right now, this is a real battle to defend the city!
Originally, Hauge didn't really think highly of the infantry, but the Green Battalion soldiers!
He felt that these green battalion soldiers would basically be wiped out if they charged with their own cavalry.
But now Haug feels that infantry and cavalry are actually just different divisions of labor.
After all, if they encounter such a defensive city, the cavalry basically has no good solution!
We can only rely on the green camp soldiers. The tenacity of these green camp soldiers is really far beyond Hauge's expectations!
So many people died in such a siege!
Hauge's eyes showed emotion.
If it were the Manchu cavalry, they wouldn't be able to fight such a siege!
Otherwise, the Liao-Jin defense line would not be able to last that long!
There was no way, the Qing cavalry was not good at attacking cities.
Facing such a city wall, if you attack it, you will have to pay for it with human lives!
However, the Qing Dynasty originally had a small number of troops, so the main force in attacking cities has always been the Green Camp.
After arranging the city defense for the night, Hauge walked down the city wall.
Night falls slowly, inside the city of Shanhaiguan.
What was originally a somewhat bustling scene has long since disappeared with the restart of the war. Everyone stayed at home, praying in their hearts that the war would end soon.
At the same time, he was afraid that he and others would be arrested to help defend the city, and he was extremely tangled in his heart.
No one can keep calm about this kind of thing.
Although spring has arrived, it is still extremely cold in Shanhaiguan.
On the city wall, soldiers patrolled back and forth, scanning the bottom of the city wall with vigilant eyes.
But the fuel is very precious right now, so I don't dare to use it casually. There are not many torches on the city wall.
And as time goes by.
The night is getting deeper...
Under the night, it is obvious that the weather has become even colder. At this time, the temperature in Shanhaiguan reached seven or eight degrees below zero!
The surrounding snow showed no sign of melting away.
Later in the night.
"You guys, please follow me carefully. When I say yes, everyone will stop. Do you understand?"
With a solemn expression on his face, Wang Xi whispered to the dozen or so assistants of his divine lord.
"Okay, Your Majesty!"
The soldiers around them all said to Wang Xi in front of them.
Wang Xi looked at Shanhaiguan on the side, with a solemn look in his eyes.
He is the craftsman who is best at using gunpowder in the entire Green Camp. He basically greets gunpowder every day, and Wang Xi has also done things like blasting!
Although it is not much, among the entire Green Camp, no one dares to say that he is first among those who say he is second!
This time, it was General Kong who found him personally.
The words are very clear. If you can successfully cause some damage to the city wall of Shanhaiguan this time, you can directly be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and then be promoted to the third level!
It can be said that the rewards are very good!
If the city wall can be blown down directly, according to General Kong's words, he will be directly rewarded with 50,000 silver! And regarding the title, His Royal Highness the Regent will be invited directly, and he will definitely be given a very high title!
Thinking of this, Wang Xi felt a little warm in his heart.
He looked at the city wall beside him with burning eyes, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. If he could blow up the city wall in front of him, he would really make a fortune!
Therefore, he began to study the weaknesses of the city wall in front of him since this morning.
After studying for a long time, he finally identified one of them!
Not sure if it really works though.
After all, this is Shanhaiguan, known as the first pass in the world!
Although I and others had the construction drawings of Shanhaiguan, it was Wu Sangui who handed them over.
But it can be said that this city wall basically has no weak points, and it is not so easy to explode!
Thinking of this, the excitement in Wang Xi's eyes faded slightly, and a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
There is still some trouble!
Thinking of this, Wang Xi sighed.
But now we have to take action!
Wang Xi's eyes showed a solemn look.
"Later, please stay hidden. When I tell you where to put the gunpowder, don't hesitate! You must do what I say!"
Wang Xi said to the people around him with a solemn expression.
"Yes! Wang Zongzhi!"
The soldiers around him said to Wang Xi in front of him with respectful expressions on their faces.
"kindness!"
Wang Xi nodded.
At this moment, a soldier quietly came to Wang Xi and others.
"Wang Tongzhi, it's time to leave! We have marked the position you mentioned! Retreat."
"Let's go! Let's slowly reach down to the city wall!"
Wang Xi whispered to the few soldiers around him.
As he said that, the soldiers around him slowly began to move towards the city wall.
Almost all of these people were carrying dozens of kilograms of explosives. The soldier on the side who came to report the news subconsciously stayed away from them.
He knows the inside story, these things are all explosives!
If they were discovered by those on the city wall, the rockets would be shot down and the gunpowder would explode.
All these people will be dead!
If I had stayed away, even if I was discovered, I might have been able to save my life!
The soldier who reported the news looked at the gunpowder in front of him with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Everyone would be scared of so much gunpowder!
Wang Xi also saw the look in the eyes of the soldier who reported the news. There was no special change in his expression. This was normal!
After all, there are currently fifteen soldiers in total including himself.
Each soldier carried almost fifty kilograms of gunpowder on his back, adding up to a total of seven hundred and fifty kilograms of gunpowder. If it exploded, it was guaranteed that all the people present would be dead!
This is just part of the gunpowder.
There is no way, we must consider that if it is discovered, all the gunpowder cannot be lost.
In order to blow up the city wall of Shanhaiguan this time, Kong Youde brought out almost all the gunpowder.
A full two thousand kilograms!
With so much gunpowder, what Wang Xi has brought is only part of it!
Soon, Wang Xi and the soldiers around him had quietly sneaked under the city wall!
Under the city wall, there are already many soldiers there to support them.
"Hurry up and place all the explosive packets against the roots of the city wall!"
