Dorgon watched as the Mongols fled back again. I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The main reason was that Obai was in such a mess. One of the characteristics of the explosion was that his clothes would be broken. This can be seen from many corpses after bombing in modern times.
The bodies of those killed by bombs were mostly bare. Or only a few clothes left. Especially the scene after the World War II aircraft bombing. It may be that the clothes in ancient times were not strong enough and far less dense than the body, so the clothes were torn by the air waves.
During the Apocalypse explosion, there were also many naked people running around. Many people who were killed in the bombing were also naked. There was even a procession rushing to send off the bride, and the bride was killed in the sedan chair, also naked.
At this time, Obai ran back in embarrassment with his butt naked.
He was in the second wave of siege teams. He was responsible for supervising the battle on horseback and watched the Mongols attack the city wall. The original plan was that after the thick smoke obscured the view of the city wall, the second wave of people would set up ladders and take the opportunity to climb the city.
As a result, the first wave of people ignited the siege vehicles and retreated hurriedly.
The second wave of people took the opportunity to rush up, set up a ladder, and climbed up.
Their mouths and noses were covered with soaked cloths, and they were choked by the thick smoke. However, they must take the opportunity to climb up, because the two yellow flags and bows and arrows behind them are pointing at them.
Victory is in sight. Most people climbed close to the crenel. The result was that countless tens of thousands of enemies and thunderbolts were thrown down. Then, countless flames and explosions exploded under the city wall one after another.
The ladder was shattered by the explosion, and the people on it were thrown into the sky by the shock wave like rag bags. Then it hit the ground hard. The Mongols on the ground were directly blown into countless pieces of meat.
A jar of gunpowder weighs twenty kilograms. This explosive power is astonishing even for modern times. In particular, ceramics have very high hardness. This thing is extremely powerful when used as shrapnel. The broken ceramics turned into a shower of shrapnel, blowing away and penetrating all the Mongolians and the Jiannu cavalry who were supervising the battle more than ten meters around.
As Obai was riding on his horse and shouting, a thunderbolt exploded ten meters away from him.
The difference between Zhentian Lei and Ten Thousand Enemies is: Ten Thousand Enemies is a jar wrapped in cotton quilts and sprinkled with gunpowder, and is mainly burned. If gunpowder is sprinkled into cotton, it will burn very violently, especially if Jiannu is wearing cotton armor. Once it is stained, the whole body will be ignited in a very short time.
The explosive power and lethality depend on the broken porcelain pieces of the jar and the built-in gunpowder.
Zhentian Lei is a bomb with an iron shell. The shell is made of cast iron and has many holes and cracks. Very easy to burst. The shrapnel was the shattered iron shell.
Oboi wore triple armor and was as strong as an ox. The explosion blew off one of his horse's legs, causing his horse to neigh and fall.
He was overturned by the wave of air. It flew directly into the moat. It hit a pile of frozen corpses hard, causing the mouth and nose to bleed. But this guy's horoscope is very hard, and he just woke up from the coma.
Seeing the Mongolian soldiers running back like a tide, he blinked and ran back like a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow. He is brave, but he is not stupid either.
At this time, the explosion extinguished all the fireworks below the city. Why don't you run and wait for the three-eyed gun to be shot down?
Huang Taiji's face was about to drip with water. Somber and terrifying.
The two red flags that attacked the northern city wall have also returned. Today they are the same on all sides, with heavy losses. Although the Chifeng city wall was crumbling, it did not collapse. It can be seen that Madeng Yun really worked hard when he built the wall.
Daishan's little eyes were staring at the place where the city wall collapsed.
When the city wall was rammed, a lot of chopped hemp knives were added, and even shrubs and thorns with excellent toughness on the grassland were added. This gives the rammed earth the tensile strength of steel bars, making it less likely to collapse in large areas.
Mingjin withdrew his troops and Jiannu retreated. The Mongols ran faster as if they were amnesty.
The white snowfield, after more than ten days of fighting, was filled with dead bodies and burnt siege weapons.
In the big tent, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
None of the three Baylors spoke. The other flag masters and generals were also silent. For a while, the tent was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
"Let's all discuss how to attack Chifeng City. Come up with an idea. Otherwise, the army won't be able to stand it if we stay here any longer. It's freezing cold, and there are a lot of casualties due to frostbite every day." Huang Taiji also said No more enthusiasm to start.
Dai Shan sneered and said: "Before I went on the expedition, I said that I had just finished fighting Chahar, so I had to repair it for half a year, and wait until spring next year when the flowers bloom. In this way, I can catch up with the summer grain harvest. But some people don't know. What kind of thoughts do you have to go out in the winter? Now it's better, it's hard to get off the tiger."
As soon as Dabeile said this, there was a lot of discussion in the big tent. Obviously, there were many people who supported Daishan.
"Brother, this is wrong. If we attack next year, Chifeng City will be ten times harder to defeat. Once they have completely repaired the city, this is the second Guan Ning Jin defense line. If we don't attack now, it will be difficult to attack in the future. That's it." Huang Taiji argued to himself.
Amin had the least number of people. He only had a blue flag. Moreover, he knew that Huang Taiji was working to take down his flag master, so he just laughed and said nothing.
Huang Taiji looked around and saw that no one was cheering. He had no choice but to turn his attention to Dorgon again.
"Fourteenth brother, you are always resourceful, but what can you do?"
Dorgon looked troubled. It was one thing for him to seek refuge with Huang Taiji, but he was not willing to directly confront Daishan. The strength of Liang Hongqi made him scared.
Seeing everyone looking at him with bright eyes, like a pack of wolves looking at a lamb. These people were all disciples and former officials of the three Baylors, and a feeling of oppression suddenly came over them.
"Fourteenth brother, if you have any good ideas, please don't hide it. Last time you had a good idea and didn't tell it. It was self-help, but it was a bit unjust." Dai Shan said with a smile.
Last time, Dorgon saw their jokes and then volunteered himself to become famous in one battle. Successfully established his position in the Eight Banners. Of course these old foxes can see clearly.
However, they can't stop it, and you can't help people making progress either.
Dorgon had no choice but to say: "Fire attack is not possible, and water attack is even more impossible. We can only dig tunnels."
Amin sneered and said: "I thought it was a good idea. It's freezing cold today. Can we dig? The ground is frozen solid. There is a layer of permafrost ten feet below. Do we want to dig until the beginning of spring?"
Dorgon said respectfully: "You can't dig with a shovel and a pickaxe. You can use a sledgehammer and a drill to drill holes and blast. Use gunpowder to excavate."
Daishan said: "When digging a tunnel, the important thing is to have a cover. It's like drilling holes and firing off blasts. Isn't it obvious that we are digging a tunnel?"
Dorgon said: "The attack on the city cannot be stopped. Let the artillery of the Han army begin to bombard the city wall. Use the sound of the cannon to cover up the sound of explosions."
Amin's eyes lit up when he heard this. This could indeed paralyze the Ming army and have the effect of taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared.
"I agree with the Fourteenth Brother's method of using artillery cover. We continue to attack the city and keep digging tunnels. When we dig under the city wall, we will use gunpowder to blow the wall down."
