My head exploded!
No, the box containing the head exploded violently!
Fourteen people, including Shang Zhixiao, Shang Zhidian, Li Rucai, and the other 11 Shang Zhidian Goshiha, were all affected by the power of the explosion, and all died in this "head explosion" incident... .Some died on the spot, while others were seriously injured and waiting to die!
As for the "head explosion" incident, it goes without saying that it was a thunder attack planned by Zhu San's grandson Zhu Heji. The boxes containing the two dead heads were specially modified and had mezzanines, and the mezzanines were hidden inside. Two saltpeter sky thunders made by Zhu Heji himself.
These are not ordinary sky mines, but two "high-tech" sky mines equipped with "yellow phosphorus friction ignition cables" made by Zhu Heji himself!
The yellow phosphorus cable uses the principle of early yellow phosphorus matches. It can be ignited with a little friction, which is too unsafe. Therefore, it cannot be used to make a grenade ignition device, but it is suitable for use on this wooden box mine.
When the box was handed over to Shang Zhixiao and Li Rucai, the bomb's cable was hung on the lid of the wooden box. When the lid was opened, the cable friction ignited, igniting the fuse soaked in sugar. The fuse sent the flame into the interior of the thunder, and then there was a big explosion!
"It's a pity...it was almost! Who is this? Why are you stopping Shang Zhixiao? If he doesn't stop him, he might end up with Tu Hai, Sun Yanling, Sun Sike, and Ma Xiong all at once!"
The person who was crying out for pity was, of course, Zhu Heji, the grandson of Zhu San, who planned the attack.
His original plan was to stew Tu Hai, Sun Yanling, Sun Sike, and Ma Xiongge in one spoonful. If these guys are all killed, it will be difficult to win this battle!
In the end, things were ruined by Shang Zhidian, a filial son!
"Master, that is Shang Zhidian," Yang Qilong put down his telescope with a regretful expression, "What a pity! If I had known that this thunder was so powerful, I should have taken it to Beijing to blow up Xuan Ye... ..”
"It's not easy to blow up Xuan Ye," Zhu Heji shook his head, "As long as the thunder box is checked, it will leak. What should I give to the emperor? How can I not check it?"
"There are also those who don't check," Yang Qilong gritted his teeth. "The secret folding box shown to Xuan Ye will not be checked... You can also send it directly to the guard outside Taihe Gate for check-in! But what happened this time After coming out, Xuan Ye will definitely ask someone to open the box first, and then take out the secret fold and give it to him!"
What a pity! Zhu Heji also felt it was a pity now, and almost blew up the "Little Holy Lord" of the Qing Dynasty.
"But the guy who was killed just now is also a person," Yang Qilong added, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Shang Kexi's son Shang Zhidian. He was originally a hostage in Beijing and was sent to Guangdong by Xuan Ye not long ago. When King Pingnan...Shiziye, you can be considered a famous king of two palaces!"
"Two famous kings?" Zhu Heji thought for a moment, and it seemed like this was what happened, "Haha, the Gu family has now caught up with King Li Jin, but this is just the beginning of the Gu family's quest to bring peace to the world!"
At this time, shouts in Cantonese Mandarin rang out on the battlefield: "Pingxi Bo Wu Sangui has raised his troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. He will soon raid Guangxi..."
This shout was actually part of Zhu Heji's strategy to attack his heart.
The tactic he adopted in this high-level battle was to "attack the heart first, then fight in the field." The so-called "attack the heart" was divided into three parts. The first was to bombard the Qing army's camp with rockets last night; the second was to kill Shang Shang. Fortunately, he launched an attack with "human head bombs"; the third was to spread the news that Wu Sangui had rebelled, and also announced that Wu Sangui would march into Guangxi!
Three arrows fired in unison, how could they shake the morale of the Qing army?
Tu Hai, who witnessed Shang Zhidian being killed by the explosion, had not yet recovered from the shock! He was not only shocked by the death of Shang Zhidian, but also shocked by the ruthlessness, despicability and treachery of Zhu San’s great grandson Zhu Heji!
How could Emperor Chongzhen be such a bad grandson? Killing me in front of his son, and then putting my head in a "thunder box" to blow up my son... This kind of thing is usually not something a bad guy can do unless he is extremely bad.
And if a king who is so bad has a certain level of strength, it will generally be difficult to defeat him...
Just when he thought about how bad Zhu Heji was, the Ming army's shouts rang loudly again - when the beheading was still a joy, the shouts stopped for a while, and now they started again.
However, Cantonese Mandarin was something he, a Manchurian, couldn't quite understand, so he turned back and asked Zhou Peigong, "What are they shouting?"
"It seems..." Zhou Peigong is from Hubei after all, and he has had a lot of contact with local officials and scholar-bureaucrats in Guangdong during this period, and has heard a lot of Cantonese Mandarin, so he can still understand it after trying hard.
"Wu Sangui! They say Wu Sangui has rebelled and is attacking Guangxi!" When Zhou Peigong said this, his face suddenly changed, "No! The Han army flag soldiers and green camp soldiers from Guangxi can understand this..."
Zhou Peigong could understand these words, not to mention those green camp soldiers and flag soldiers who lived and even grew up in Guangxi and Guangdong?
"Bang the drum! Fire the cannon!"
Tuhai, who knew something was wrong, immediately gave the order for the bombardment.
With the sound of drums and drums, more than a hundred general cannons placed in front of the Qing army's formation began to tremble at the same time, and then spewed out clusters of black smoke.
The smoke was quite big. After a round of shelling, the Qing army's formation was already filled with black smoke!
The sound of the artillery was also quite loud, and the roar quickly covered up the shouts of the Ming army on the opposite side.
But the accuracy of the bombardment was out of question.
These were general cannons with poor shelling accuracy, and the distance was too far. The cannons could only barely reach the Ming army's positions. There was no accuracy at all. At most, they could only make a sound.
However, Tuhai's bombardment order still achieved some goals. At least the Ming army no longer shouted "Wu Sangui's rebellion", and the Qing army's shaken military morale seemed to have recovered somewhat.
"Invite Yan Ziming, the admiral of Guangdong, to Tong Shangjie, the capital of Pingnan Palace!" Tu Hai ordered again at this time, "All armies in Guangdong are under their command... Let them launch an attack immediately to avenge the two Pingnan kings!
Then give an order to Deng Zhong, let him personally lead the fire and thunder team to follow Yan Ziming's people... Don't be busy throwing mines after going up, first pile up the artillery base and set up the cannon! "
After giving these two orders, Tuhai couldn't help but sigh again.
Two Pingnan kings died at once. How should this matter be reported to the superiors?
One of them was buried in a grand ceremony, and he even had a posthumous title! How to repay this? Could it be that the report said that King Pingnan Jing was resurrected and died again?
.......
"Qingyao is coming up!"
Yang Qilong, who had been holding a telescope to observe the situation on the front line, suddenly shouted, "Pushing the shield cart... Judging from the flag, it should be the vassal army from Guangdong Green Camp and Hepingnan Palace. They are pressing up on the two wings of our army, two lines. There were about three thousand men each, and they were pushing shield carts.”
Zhu Heji laughed and said, "Okay, as long as you are willing to come and die!"
Drums beat and cannons rumble. Under the guidance of the green green battalion and the flags of the feudal prince's palace flag army, five or six thousand Qing troops divided into two groups and pressed against the left and right wings of the Ming army in a mighty manner.
The front of the Ming army was actually very narrow, only five or six miles in total. Therefore, the front of the Qing army that was divided into two lines was even narrower, less than one mile. That is, two infantry formations pushed the shield carts in front, followed by a small number of cavalry holding down the formation.
At the same time, the general artillery deployed in the middle of the Qing army continued to bombard the Ming army's camps. Although it did not cause any casualties, it could still embolden the attacking Qing army. You can let Shang Jiajun, who just killed two bosses, bite the bullet and go forward to die!
The Ming army's position was quiet and they did not fire artillery to counterattack. They marched by land this time, so they could not carry heavy artillery. They only brought some three-pound field artillery made of bronze. Although this kind of artillery is more powerful than the Qing army's general artillery, it is still not powerful enough for long-range shooting.
Therefore, the "big artillery" on the front line is just holding back from firing, waiting for the opponent to get closer, which is a round of fatal shotgun!
