The generals around him became serious after listening to Guo Dehai's instructions.
Zhao Tai is now too famous and likes to play dirty, which makes everyone feel very uneasy. They even start to wonder if their colleagues around them have taken refuge in Zhao Tai and plan to surrender in Kaicheng.
This makes everyone feel a little panicked and insecure.
Guo Dehai looked at Jinying from a distance with deep eyes, "Zhao Tai, what on earth are you trying to do?"
Seeing that the Jin army was not in a hurry to attack, Guo Dehai analyzed that Zhao Tai planned to outwit Zhengzhou.
However, Guo Dehai could not guess what methods Zhao Tai would use.
Because he didn't know what Zhao Tai had planned, Guo Dehai could only remain unchanged in response to the changes, and ordered people to strengthen the defense of the city. At the same time, he closely monitored each gate to prevent anyone from rebelling and opening the city for the Jin army.
At the Jin Army camp outside the city, a group of cavalry galloped to the gate of the camp, dismounted and said, "There is an urgent military situation, please report it to your husband!"
In the Jin Army's tent, Zhao Taizheng pointed to the sand table and told Wuxian the battle plan.
"After the tunnel is dug under the city, I will bury gunpowder underneath. When the gunpowder explodes, you can immediately attack the enemy while they are stunned by the explosion." Zhao Tai held the wooden pole and poked at the city wall, " If we're lucky and a gap is blown out of the city wall, we can storm into the city with one go."
Wu Xiandao: "Can this gunpowder really blow down the city wall?"
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if the explosion doesn't collapse. Such a loud noise is enough to scare the defenders. Then you continue to charge, and I will use the trebuchet to project thunderbolts and bombard the city. The soldiers will definitely be able to Destroy the city in one fell swoop!”
Zhao Tai is still quite confident in his plan.
During the Western Expedition of the Mongols, they met the King of Hungary and gathered 100,000 European allied troops. The two sides fought fiercely on a bridge over the Seyo River. The Mongols suddenly used rockets. The European allied forces had never seen gunpowder and thought that the Mongols knew witchcraft. And scattered.
In that battle, the Mongols killed 70,000 European coalition troops, and the entire Hungary almost fell into the hands of the Mongols.
The Mongols used rockets, and the European coalition forces thought they knew witchcraft. The explosives and thunderbolts Zhao Tai wanted to use were much louder than the rockets. They were at the level of a great mage, and they would definitely be able to scare the Mongols into confusion.
Capturing Zhengzhou by then should be a piece of cake.
Seeing Zhao Tai's confidence, Wu Xian asked: "In that case, when can we start?"
Zhao Tai suddenly felt embarrassed, "We still have to wait two more days. The soldiers are not doing enough, and the tunnel has been dug astray. We are currently digging under the city wall, and it should be almost at the base of the wall!"
As Zhao Taizheng was talking, the curtain was suddenly raised, and a general came in to report, "My lord, there is news from Hulao Pass. Mongolian reinforcements have arrived at the pass and are leaving the pass to storm Marshal Du's camp!"
"You came so fast!" Zhao Tai and Wu Xian couldn't help but look at each other.
Wu Xiandao: "Guorui, our actions must speed up!"
Zhao Tai nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "I will personally supervise and dig the tunnel as soon as possible!"
At this time, all the siege equipment of the Jin Army were ready, and the soldiers were gearing up to gnaw on the bones of Zhengzhou. However, because the tunnel had not been dug yet, the Jin Army's soldiers could only wait.
In Zhengzhou City, ever since Guo Dehai analyzed that Zhao Tai was planning to use a cunning plot to seize Zhengzhou, he had fallen into a state of uneasiness.
Because he didn't know what dirty tricks Zhao Tai would use, Guo Dehai had trouble sleeping and eating all day long, thinking about how Zhao Tai would attack the city all day and night.
After a few days, there was still no movement from the Jin army, but Guo Dehai was forced to have a nervous breakdown.
Early that morning, with dark circles under his eyes, Guo Dehai came to the city wall for a routine inspection. A general hurried over and said, "Commander, we have discovered the Jin army's plan."
Guo Dehai's bloodshot eyes widened and he immediately asked: "What's going on?"
The general looked excited, "Didn't the commander-in-chief say that day that the Jin army might want to outwit Zhengzhou and asked us to strengthen our defenses?"
Guo Dehai nodded, and the general continued: "Following the command of the commander-in-chief, the subordinates strengthened defense and inspections, and buried a large vat in the city this morning to see if the gold thieves would dig tunnels to attack. city."
Guo Dehai said happily: "What, did you find any movement?"
"Commander is wise!" the general danced and said: "As soon as I buried the vat, I heard noise coming from the ground. The gold thief was indeed digging a tunnel."
Guo Dehai was overjoyed and immediately waved, "Let's go, take me to see you!"
At that moment, Guo Dehai followed his generals down the city wall and came to the foot of the wall on the back side of the city wall. He saw a group of soldiers surrounding a large vat.
"Commander, listen, they are poaching," the general said.
Guo Dehai immediately squatted down and put his ear against the large vat. Sure enough, he heard a rhythmic sound. It should be that the Jin Army was digging underground.
"Hahaha~" Guo Dehai suddenly laughed heartily, "I thought Zhao Tai had some strange plan, but it turned out that he was just digging tunnels to attack the city. The reputation of Zhao Tai was so evil that it made me nervous to death. It turned out that Zhao Tai had a very evil reputation. No big deal."
Many Mongolian generals burst into laughter after hearing his words.
Guo Dehai said quite relaxedly: "I didn't know what conspiracy Zhao Tai was planning to use before. Now that I know he is planning to dig a tunnel, there is nothing to worry about."
As he spoke, Guo Dehai squatted down again, listened for a while, and then said with a smile: "Listen to the noise, there is still some distance before digging into the city. Pass the order and send people to monitor it for twelve hours. In addition, other sections of the city wall will also be monitored. We need to bury the big tank and see if Zhao Tai has dug other tunnels."
"Yes!" The general saluted immediately, turned around and prepared to do it.
Guo Dehai still stopped him, "Wait a minute, arrange manpower to dig a trench for me at the exit of the golden thief's tunnel. Once the golden thief digs through the tunnel, I will give Zhao Tai a surprise."
Due to Zhao Tai's reputation, Guo Dehai was a little worried at first that Zhao Tai was going to outwit Zhengzhou. Now that he knew that Zhao Tai's so-called conspiracy was just to dig tunnels, Guo Dehai immediately felt relieved.
This Zhao Tai is nothing more than that.
At this time, the generals were ordered to leave. Guo Dehai listened by the big tank all morning, then returned to the state office in the afternoon and had a good sleep.
That night, Zhao Tai, Wuxian, Chen Zhong and others gathered together in the commander's tent of the Jin Army. A general came into the commander's tent and saluted and reported: "Mr. Sir, our brothers have dug under the city."
The three people who were discussing the details of the siege suddenly felt happy. Zhao Tai asked: "Are you sure you can dig under the city wall?"
Tang Liang said: "Don't worry, sir, I went down to take a look and found the city bricks."
Zhao Tai was overjoyed and praised: "Okay! Good job, brothers! Now that we have dug to the bottom of the city, we will stop digging and carry the things in early tomorrow morning, then seal them and prepare for blasting."
Tang Liang immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I accept my order from my humble position!"
Zhao Tai then looked at Wuxian and Chen Zhong, rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "The tunnel has been dug to the bottom of the city. Explosives will be buried tomorrow morning to blow down the city wall. You all should prepare yourself. After breakfast tomorrow, lead the troops out of camp and set up formations. Once it explodes, the army will immediately seize the city."
Wu Xian and Chen Zhong looked at each other, and Chen Zhong said excitedly: "Yes! If the city wall is blown down, Xuzhou will be destroyed tomorrow!"
