When the flag soldiers and infantry of Duke Xushun rushed into the capital of Guiyu, no one thought that the empty city strategy actually had a killer move.
We already agreed that it was an empty city strategy, so how could we use a killer move?
Moreover, it is said in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Zhuge Kongming did not have many soldiers and horses at the time and could not stop Sima Yi's army, so he devised the empty city strategy of "playing the zither to retreat Zhongda".
If Sima Yi had been as wise as today's Deputy Commander Deng, who had seen through Zhuge Liang's empty city plan and deployed dozens of shotgun soldiers to kill Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han would not have had the turn to perish by Deng Ai and Zhong Hui.
When I thought about the Third Prince Zhu, the Third Grandson Zhu, and Zhuge Yaodao's empty city plan, the next step was to kill people, set fire to loot things. This group of Xushun Gongfu flag soldiers are really brave, everyone is fighting for the first place!
The bravest among them is Deng Zhong, Deng Guangming’s nephew!
Deng Zhong is a rough man in his forties, who was born as a flag slave of the Zhengbai Banner. Although this flag slave is a slave, he is also part of the establishment. Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, being a banner slave was naturally difficult, and it was not easy to climb up. Not everyone can have Fan Wencheng's talents and skills. It is very difficult for ordinary flag slaves to stand out among many slaves.
But Deng Zhong’s slaves are prosperous!
Not long after I became a banner slave, the Qing Dynasty established Beijing!
Moreover, it was Dorgon, the prince of the Zhengbai Banner, who brought the Qing Dynasty to Beijing...Although Deng Zhong was still a boy in his teens, he also went out with Dorgon and was responsible for replacing Dorgon. Ergon cleans the toilet!
Deng Zhong later raised the flag for his role in cleaning Dorgon's toilet. From the flag slave of Zhengbai Banner, he was promoted to the Han Army of Zhengbai Banner, and he was also divided into a small courtyard "within the second ring road" of Beijing... It's a pity that he missed his old master who was good at cleaning toilets. Dorgon did not live long and died in the seventh year of Shunzhi.
Then he was exhumed and whipped by the petty and petty Emperor Shunzhi because of the nonsense of "holding the emperor hostage and sleeping with the queen mother".
As Dorgon's loyal slave, Deng Zhong naturally followed suit. The fat job in Beijing was gone, and he was sent to work as a vest under his uncle Deng Guangming... He was a member of the Han army under the Zhengbai Banner, and he went to serve as a vest in the banner army of Xushun Gongfu. This is too shameful. If the old master is still there, there is no problem in being an assistant leader!
But he still firmly believes that good slaves can prosper wherever they go.
Deng Zhong was an inconspicuous guy in Beijing, but he became a big deal when he arrived in the army of Duke Xushun!
He had participated in the Stone War with his old master Dorgon and had made meritorious service. No one else in Duke Xushun's mansion had such qualifications.
Later, he continued to follow Dorgon as a follower, and he had seen the world... What kind of prince Baylor in the Qing Dynasty had he not seen?
Moreover, Deng Zhong's martial arts were also extremely outstanding. After raising the flag, he followed Dorgon's white-armored soldiers to build up their strength and practice horse-based warfare. That’s really a great teacher making a great disciple! Therefore, his martial arts skills have always been among the best among the Xushun Duke's army.
In addition to having seen the world and being highly skilled in martial arts, Deng Zhong was also extremely brave - he also imagined that with his military exploits, he could one day return to Beijing and become a member of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers in Beijing.
It's a pity that although he fought bravely and made many meritorious deeds, his promotion to the official position was very slow, and now he is just a generation son, that is, Zuoling's deputy.
If someone had such merit as him, he would be able to get a job as an assistant, and even be transferred to the Green Camp as a general!
And just when Deng Zhong was about to lose heart, the opportunity came to capture the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu alive!
As long as the third prince Zhu or the third grandson of Zhu is caught, the little emperor will definitely promote him, a loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty!
So this time he shamelessly asked Tong Jiabei, who was inferior to him in origin and qualifications, to be a vanguard, and now led the team into the capital of Guiyu.
As soon as I entered the city, I heard someone reading a poem, and then I saw the third prince Zhu who looked like Guan Gong (the appearance was very recognizable) standing behind a row of straw bags pulling a hemp rope.
What is he pulling?
Deng Zhong couldn't figure it out, but he still didn't slow down. That was the third prince Zhu... Whether he could win the favor of the little emperor or not depended on this battle.
Thinking of this, he didn't care so much. He held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. He shouted "Where are you going, Prince Zhu?" and rushed towards Zhu Jushan who was pulling the hemp rope.
The flag soldiers of Duke Xushun who followed him were also unambiguous, and their morale was extremely high - they all knew what the empty city strategy was about! Even if you are illiterate, you have heard about it in books.
So now is the time to eat meat for meritorious service!
Moreover, they also saw that "Tianwang Zhu" who had just emerged had now retreated behind the low wall built by straw bags.
The majestic King Zhu Tian on Danan Mountain is actually a coward!
And just when a group of flag soldiers from Duke Xushun's Mansion rushed towards Tianwang Zhu, two torches falling from the sky had already ignited the withered grass sprinkled with gunpowder around the "Zhuge Tianlei Pot"!
A cork with a drilled hole was inserted into the spout of the Tianlei Pot. A long talisman rolled with gunpowder passed through the hole and penetrated deep into the chamber pot, and was inserted into the hole poked with a wooden stick. The talisman was quickly ignited and burned rapidly, bringing the flame into the already heated chamber pot.
The sweet gunpowder that was originally solidified into a single piece inside the chamber pot actually fell apart because no coagulant was added. This makes the sweet powder more prone to deflagration!
When the burning flame comes into contact with the broken sweet powder, a terrible explosion occurs immediately! The sweet gunpowder burned violently at a burning speed of more than four thousand meters per second, releasing a huge amount of gas and a high temperature of one thousand two hundred to three hundred degrees.
The high-temperature and high-pressure gas quickly tore apart the outer shell of the bronze chamber pot, turning it into two to three hundred rapidly moving fragments!
These two to three hundred fragments mixed with high-temperature and high-voltage electrical gas to form a deadly wave, which hit the eighty Xushun Gongfu flag soldiers who had just rushed into the capital of Guiyu, causing terrible casualties in an instant!
At least one-third of the flag soldiers of Duke Xushun were hit by bronze fragments flying everywhere... No matter where they hit, they were fatal injuries!
The fragments exploded by the explosion of sweet gunpowder cannot be resisted by cloth-covered iron armor at all, and the shrapnel that penetrates layers of obstacles to penetrate into the human body cannot be removed from the human body by doctors of this era (the only way is to ampute the limbs).
Even if the hit is not a vital part, the subsequent wound infection is enough to kill!
Those flag soldiers who were not hit by the bronze shrapnel were also knocked to the ground by the sudden air wave.
Deng Zhong also fell down and was knocked down by the air wave coming from behind. He fell face first to the ground - the ground was covered with bluestone! If you slam your face into the bluestone, will it still be possible? His forehead was smashed, his nose was crooked, a few teeth were missing, and his mouth was full of blood. Moreover, his eardrums were also damaged by the loud noise caused by the explosion. Now he could only hear a buzzing sound, and even the screams of his injured and dying comrades could not be heard.
However, he was not hit by the shrapnel, nor was he knocked unconscious on the stone slab. He still maintained consciousness and his mind was relatively clear.
Although he didn't know what happened specifically, there was still a general direction - he knew that he was plotted by the bandit Taoist who pretended to be after Zhuge Kongming... No, that Zhuge Yao Taoist was probably the real one. After Kong Ming! Otherwise, how could his empty city plan be so ruthless?
It turns out that Sima Yi was not frightened by the empty city strategy, but saw through the empty city strategy's killer move!
While he was thinking wildly, he struggled to get up. Before he could turn around and escape, he saw a "Guan Yunchang" holding a Guan Dao and was about to pounce in front of him.
How could Deng Zhong, who was still a little dazed, dare to fight with Mr. Guan? He quickly turned around and ran for his life, shouting loudly as he ran away: "Second Master Guan, Second Master Guan has appeared..."
His shout caused misunderstanding among the other Xushun Gongfu flag soldiers who were stunned by the bombing. They all thought that Zhu Tianwang, who looked like Guan Gong, was the second master of Guan who had descended to earth. Without any fighting spirit, they all turned around and ran away, rushing towards At the south gate of Guiyu City, he ran and shouted: "Second Master Guan is here, Second Master Guan is ambushing me in the city!"
