Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 662 Exploded!Really fried!
Some Jin soldiers dropped the ground bag, but did not lose their lives. The original intention of this ground bag was not to kill people, and it did not have such power.

The depth of the bunker is often about two meters, and it is impossible to fall to death at all.Its purpose is entirely to delay the enemy's progress.

The few soldiers who fell into the trap soon discovered this fact, and they worked hard to climb up, using their hands and feet together while not forgetting to observe the movements around them.

No way, Qin Bing is too vicious.

Fortunately, the trap is not deep, and the four walls of the bag are also very smooth. Although they accidentally fell, they were not injured.

A soldier climbed up hard, he didn't dare to stick out of the trap, he just turned his chubby head in a circle, and a halberd just stabbed him in front of him!
I go!

Damn!
Just in front of the parcel, at the lower end of the city wall, a square hole appeared.

About half the size of a blue brick, it was obviously used in conjunction with the ground bag, and the halberd was stabbed out of the hole.

Now you can know that the function of this land bag is to let the enemy fall into the trap, and then it will be convenient for the defenders to attack.

There are dozens of such parcels all over Nanyang City Tower, large and small.

As Wang Mi and the others rushed to Nanyang City, many Jin soldiers fell into traps and were ambushed by Qin soldiers.

"Brothers, pay attention to hiding bags!"

"Follow me!"

Seeing that the brothers were attacked by the enemy, Wang Mi was anxious, and hurriedly greeted them to follow his own pace.

Fortunately, this land bag trap also has great limitations.

Once it is stepped on, it is immediately exposed, and it is difficult to recycle.

The target of the land pack is large. As long as the cover is lost, ordinary soldiers can easily avoid it, and it is not difficult.

"Ji slave, General Liu, hurry up, let's put the gunpowder bag away!"

The situation is so urgent, and he can't take much care of it. In front of Wang Mi's eyes, there is only one goal, and that is to blow up the city wall of Nanyang City!

"Zhiyuan, are these gunpowder kits really useful?"

"Can you really blow through the city wall?" Although Liu Yu did as he was told, the doubts in his heart still lingered.

He is a sincere person, and facing major events in the battle, he will definitely nail it, and he will not be able to do it.

Gunpowder is really powerful, but Nanyang City Wall is equally powerful.

Because, the Nanyang City Wall is actually covered with blue bricks!
The degree of sturdiness increases exponentially.

With the level of construction technology in the late Jin Dynasty, the city walls of this era were generally built with earthen walls. Although it can also be strengthened by layers and various auxiliary facilities can be built to enhance the defense capability of the city tower itself, but in front of the city wall wrapped with bluestone bricks, These are all scum.

The so-called bluestone brick wrapping does not mean that the entire main structure of Nanyang City Tower is made of bricks. The real situation is that the inner wall is still built with bricks, but a layer of bluestone bricks is wrapped on both sides of the earth wall.

Even so, the cost of building a city is still skyrocketing, so it's no wonder that the construction method of building earth walls wrapped in bluestone bricks has already appeared in the late Han Dynasty, but until the end of the Jin Dynasty when wars were frequent, it was also used. Not much.

The cost is too high, it is impossible.Especially after the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a powerful and unified imperial court that spanned more than a hundred years in this land. planning.

Each city, of course, also includes large counties such as Nanyang, their construction, expansion and expansion are independent.

Whoever has money and whoever is wealthy can increase defenses indefinitely, and those relatively poor, or those cities that have been ravaged by wars and are constantly being contested are not so lucky.

First, such cities face more dangers, and secondly, because of the constant battles, military expenditures are often stretched.

For example, for those cities controlled by the Jin Dynasty, it is almost a dream to count on the imperial court to supply the army with more money and food.

For Sima Yao, it was already a merit that he was able to collect all the military expenses for the temporary war.

In a word, the Great Jin court is poor!

The pattern of weak trunk and strong branches is doomed. The court of Jin Dynasty is that the royal family is declining and the family is strong.

The Xie family had to pay a lot of money for the support of the Beifu soldiers, not to mention the Jingzhou soldiers, who were all taken care of by the Huan clan of Qiaojun.

Since your Sima family can't make money, I'm sorry, you really can't command these troops.

Since even ordinary military expenses cannot be guaranteed, let alone expect the Sima family to distribute money to major military towns to help the defenders renovate the city defenses.

Therefore, until now, Nanyang City was the first city that Wang Mi had seen after arriving at the end of the Jin Dynasty, a combination of bluestone bricks and earthen walls.

"Zhiyuan, it's not that I'm alarmist, such a solid city wall, even a heavy crossbow can't pierce it, can gunpowder have such great power?" For a moment, the question was finally raised.

In his opinion, this gunpowder kit was their last trump card. If they couldn't cause serious damage to Di Qin, they could only withdraw their troops and flee back to Xinye City.

However, the current situation is obviously not conducive to the Jin army.

Once they show their decline, Di Qin will definitely not spare them. At that time, the offensive and defensive sides will change positions. At that time, it is not the Qin soldiers who are running in front, and the Jin army chasing them.

Everything will be reversed. Maybe, Qin Bing will take advantage of the good situation to catch up all the way to Xinye and regain the city that has just been lost.

Whether Nanyang can win the first battle can be said to be a matter that affects the whole body, and it must not be taken lightly.

Once they fail here, they will bring disaster to the Jingzhou soldiers in Xinye City. Don't forget that Xinye City is already short of troops.

It is still difficult to defend Xinye, so let them face the Nanyang powerhouse, don't think about it, it must be unstoppable.

It is absolutely impossible to bring disaster to Xinyecheng because of Nanyang's strategic mistakes. Liu Yu is really worried about the current situation.

However, why is Xiao Wang not in a hurry?

"Slave, you don't believe in the power of gunpowder?"

At a critical moment, someone is still in the mood to joke.

"It's not that I don't trust it, it's just that seeing is believing, Nanyang City is not a good place for us to do experiments."

"If we can't blow through the city wall, we will be passive."

Gee...

The words of the slave are not good enough.

"Blowing through the city wall, we may not be able to seize the initiative." Wang Mi placed the paper leads and took out the fire leads.

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard the words: "Is it useless to blow up the city wall?"

This... how can this be good?
All the soldiers, not only Liu Yu, but even the stubbornly resisting soldiers behind them are counting on this gunpowder bag!
If this doesn't work, then the soldiers of the Jin army will really be called Tian Tian not working, and the ground should not be able to.

"Send slave, don't be in a hurry."

"In today's Nanyang City, as long as we can make a breakthrough, it will be good. As for what will happen after the city wall is bombed, it is not something to consider now."

Wang Mi smiled and blew the fire starter. Seeing the tiny flames recover little by little, she was overjoyed.

"Several, I'm going to fire!"

"Dodge quickly!"

hide!
Of course dodge!

Before Wang Mi could finish speaking, the generals and soldiers all ran away.

It's not that he is obedient, but the terrifying power of this gunpowder, everyone is already familiar with it, and before the fire source is close, everyone slips away.

"Zhiyuan, it's you who is in danger!"

"Hurry up and dodge!"

Once the gunpowder exploded, it was quite abrupt, and how it caused harm to people is now familiar to everyone.

The closer the person is, the more vulnerable they are to being hurt, and no one can afford that kind of injury, so what are you waiting for if you don't run?

If it is said that the person closest to the gunpowder pack is of course only one.

That is the one with the highest official position on the battlefield now.

Wang Mi, Wang Shilang!

Everyone else was worried about Shilang Wang, and his little heart was thumping and beating non-stop, but he saw that Shilang Wang himself was calm now, like a real warrior.

Courageous.

"Don't be afraid, I'm ready."

ready?

can be what?
You can't even look left and right!
Thanks to the extremely strong combat effectiveness of the Jin troops in the rear, this gave Wang Shilang the confidence to put on a pretence here.

Of course there is preparation.

Wang Shilang cherishes his life like gold, how can he be easily injured?

It's just his careful preparation, these authentic Jin people still can't see it.

Temporarily made gunpowder bags are very simple, and if they are in modern times, they are simply embarrassed to use them.

It's just a semi-finished product made of thick cloth and then filled with some waste paper. In other words, this kind of thing is not even a semi-finished product.

Because at the end of Jin Dynasty, Wang Mi was surprised to find that cotton cloth, a fabric that can be seen everywhere in modern times, could not find the prototype at this time.

You know, flammable and heavy cotton cloth is essential to make a primary explosive pack.However, the silk fabrics and coarse cloth fabrics that are popular today are too light and thin, and it is impossible to bundle the explosive packs in a special order and make them into squares.

The coarse cloth clothes of this era were all made of kapok and linen, not cotton commonly used in modern times.

And the cotton of that material, at least until the Tang Dynasty, will not come from India across the ocean.

Wang Mi looked at the row of gunpowder bags stacked under the Nanyang City Wall, and sighed deeply.

He was crooked, without a serious appearance, which was really embarrassing for him, Xiao Wang.

No way, make do with it.

Although the explosive pack is rough, there is no shortage of preventive measures.

In order to prevent being hurt by the sudden burst of gunpowder, the lead wire is made very long, especially long.

Spread out flat, the distance, even if it is set on fire, is enough for an adult to run away and escape to safety.

Rao was well prepared, and it took a long time for the gunpowder pack to finally ignite.

It's all to blame for the environment outside Nanyang City, it's really bad.

Originally, everything went very smoothly. Although there were some traps and obstacles under Nanyang City, these obstacles did not pose a threat to the use of gunpowder kits.

However, the trench appeared!
The most hateful thing is that there is still water in the trench!
As we all know, fire is most afraid of water!

Gunpowder will never explode if it gets wet.

Before Liu Yu and the others considered Wang Mi's personal safety, perhaps they didn't notice this issue at all.

That is, can the gunpowder pack really explode?

If it can't be fired, let alone blasting through the city wall, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even make a sound.

As a result, Wang Mi was picking and choosing, and finally selected a few places that were absolutely safe in his opinion, and only then did the gunpowder packs be securely placed.

In addition to placing the gunpowder packs, the placement of the leads is also very knowledgeable.

The lead wires are all made of straw paper temporarily, and they can't get wet. Wang Mi walked to one end of the lead wire and finally lightly ignited it.

Run!

Sparks burst out, scaring someone to flee in a hurry. However, when he and the large army converged, he realized that everything was just a false alarm.

On this side, Wang Mi kept walking and ran neatly. On the other side, the brothers gritted their teeth and held their breath.

It will explode!
It's bound to explode!
They waited, waited, the tragic appearance of the rock-solid Nanyang City Wall crashing down in front of their eyes.

They are ready, once the city wall collapses, they will swarm up and give the shameless Qin army a head-on attack!
sizzle...

blah blah blah...

One point, another point, the lead continued to burn in the same direction.The brothers waited and waited, hoped and hoped, but the gunpowder packet just didn't explode for a long time.

"Zhiyuan, your lead is too long." Liu Chun drooped his eyelids and said regretfully.

Wang Mi scratched the back of his head, quite helpless.

"It seems to be a little longer."

"Everyone, don't be impatient."

In order to effectively avoid the puddles, the lead wires made by Wang Mi are curved and walk in an "S" shape on the soil.

People's patience is limited, especially for weapons like gunpowder, which can see results in a short time, and lack the patience to wait.

Under Wang Mi's repeated appeasement, Liu Chun and the others reluctantly sold him a face, and waited quietly without saying any more.

However, what if it can't be fried?

When others were nervous, Wang Mi was a thousand times more nervous than them, ten thousand times!
Boom!

Rumble!
"Exploded!"

"It really exploded!"

"Success!"

"Brothers, rush with me!"

There was a loud noise, one after another, and the familiar smoke with a pungent smell also burst into waves, and Wang Mi jumped up.

In the smog, the Jin army who swooped over could not see whether the sturdy Nanyang city wall had collapsed or not. It was the people in the city who reacted faster than them.

…………

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Does the ground move?"

Yang Ding, who had been standing on the tower to watch the battle and never left, was completely restless.

Not to mention, a row of more than a dozen gunpowder packets exploded at the same time, and the kind of movement that made was really similar to the ground movement.

"No... not good, General!"

"The north gate city wall was opened by the Jin army!"

"What did you say?"

"A hole was opened in the city wall?" Yang Ding's shock was beyond words to describe, it was terrifying!

He was both shocked and bewildered.

I always felt that this was impossible.That is the city wall that he has carefully built and maintained for many years.

The enemy's heavy crossbow couldn't do anything about it. When the Jin army came, how could it be knocked open?

impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
