Chapter 130 Blast!
Although Pyongyang was strong, the Ming army actually encountered no decent resistance.

With the fall of the city gate, the Eight Banners soldiers also lost their courage to fight, and fled from the south gate to Seoul.

They ran away, and the North Korean soldiers naturally stopped resisting, and quickly dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Zhiji took Pyongyang with little effort.

I asked about Xu Yingyuan's situation on the Eastern Front.

Good guy, we have captured Yuanshan and are preparing to head to Huaiyang.

As the supreme general, how could Zhang Zhiji be willing to be compared by his subordinates, so he ordered the soldiers to repair as soon as possible, and rushed to Huangzhou early tomorrow morning.

Fan Wencheng, who fled in a hurry, ran desperately to Seoul.

The moment he saw Amin, Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground and cried "Wow".He doesn't look like a well-known traitor or a king's confidant at all.

Amin was a little panicked when he saw it.He quickly helped Fan Wencheng up, only to see that Fan Wencheng's head was randomly wrapped in cotton cloth, and blood penetrated half of his face.Coupled with running away in a panic, not even a drop of water came in.He looks as embarrassed as he is.

"Sir is this?"

"Your Majesty! I went to negotiate with Zhang Zhiji, the general of the Ming army, but I never expected to be tricked to the top of the city by him, and my head was almost blown off!"

"According to this, is there no hope for the peace talks? Can we just stick to it?"

"The peace talks are hopeless. The Ming army is determined to kill us." Fan Wencheng shook his head dejectedly with a sad face.

After hearing this, Amin slumped on the chair and remained silent for a long time.

He didn't blame Fan Wencheng at all.

The Eight Banners soldiers led by Huang Taiji were completely annihilated, and his thousands of Eight Banners and North Korean mixed troops were really nothing.

"Why did the Ming army attack the city so quickly?"

"Your Majesty, when I escaped back, I was just in time for the Ming army to attack the city. I heard a loud bang, and when I looked back, there was a big hole in the city gate. There was not even a door panel!"

"what?"

"The city gate was blown open in one fell swoop? But the cannon?"

"Probably not, I only heard the sound once. Cannons can't be so powerful."

Amin was silent.

There is not much time left for them, whether to go or stay is a question that needs to be considered urgently.

Liu, to be honest, he has no confidence to compete with the Ming army.

Go, where can I go?
Turned against Huang Taiji, and was beaten like a dog by Daming again.

"Sir, what should we do next?" A Min fell into deep confusion, but still hoped to get some hope from Fan Wencheng.

"It's really impossible, I'm afraid I have to go back to Shengjing." Fan Wencheng was silent for a moment.Said what A Min least wanted to hear.

"Sir, don't say this again in the future. If you ask me to beg for mercy in front of Huang Taiji again, I can't do it." Amin's face turned cold and he said angrily.

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng stopped talking.

If you don't run away, you have to find a way to defend the city.

We have to think of a way to prevent the Ming army from going down the city in one day.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea. Since we have no other choice right now, we should just stick to the city. The Ming army broke the city with sharp weapons and blew up the gates. We only need to block the gates and they will have nothing to do. The city of Seoul is majestic. , there are [-] cannons on the city wall. As long as the city gate is closed, the Ming army will definitely not be able to enter. As long as we prepare more food and grass in the city, we can keep guarding. What about them? How long will they consume? One month? Or two moon?"

"What will be used to block the city gate?"

"Build it directly, don't need a door!"

A Min was taken aback, and glanced at Fan Wencheng.

How does this brain grow, don't need the city gate, thank you for thinking it out.

But thinking about it is indeed the safest way.

Then Amin ordered his soldiers to go out of the city, looting the food of the people's homes near Seoul, and ordered the craftsmen to build the city gates tightly with green bricks, glutinous rice, slaked lime and other materials.

eighth day of august
Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yingyuan joined forces, [-] miles north of Seoul.

Let's go south together.

Since the captured city needed to stay behind, the number of soldiers at this time was less than [-].

There are 8000 in the Five Army Battalion, [-] in the Shenji Battalion, and [-] in the Three Thousand Battalion.A total of [-] people.

But Zhang Zhiji is still full of confidence in capturing Seoul.

No gate can withstand ten dynamite packs.

If there are, then twenty.

On the evening of the eighth day of August, the army came to station outside the north gate of Seoul.

Amin, who was at the top of the city, looked at the Ming Dynasty army with flags flying, and huge pressure arose in his heart.

It was this army that disabled the invincible Eight Banners soldiers.

After waiting for another hour, he saw that the Ming army had no intention of attacking the city at night. After inspecting the city, he returned to the palace.

That night, the two parties lived in peace.

morning of the second day

After the soldiers had breakfast, Zhang Zhiji gave the order to attack the city.

It was still the familiar blasting team, carrying the explosive pack and moving quickly to the gate of the city.

Light it, throw it, run.

Then there was a bang.

The Ming army is ready to sprint.

Zhang Zhiji looked at the gate of the city with a telescope, ready to issue an attack order.But the result made him frown.

The suspension bridge at the gate of the city was blown open, and the gate of the city was blown to pieces.But what was exposed was not the city gate, but the wall.

It seems that the enemy is prepared?

"Go to another team! 20 people!"

Zhang Zhiji gave the order again.

Another blasting team set off, but it still didn't have much effect.

Amin who stood on the tower breathed a sigh of relief.Although the power of the small burden carried by the Ming army is indeed not small, it is not easy to blast through the city wall.The city wall of Seoul is five feet thick, how do you blow it up?
Zhang Zhiji also discovered this problem.Let the demolition team try another city gate, but the result is still the same.Zhang Zhiji did not give up, and changed another city gate, and it was the same.

It seems that the enemy has sealed the city gate!

Damn, who thought of such a crazy idea!

Are you going to stay there forever?

Fan Wencheng at the top of the city looked at the blasting team running around, he laughed, and said to A Min:
"It seems that the Qian donkeys of the Ming army are at the end of their skills."

At this moment, Amin also relaxed a little. He was not afraid of the Ming army attacking the city, because their sharp muskets would be useless, and their tough armor would not be able to withstand the flames poured on the city.

Zhang Zhiji naturally thought of the questions that Amin could think of.

The most reliable thing right now is to blast through the city wall, but he doesn't have so many explosives.There is not much left of what I brought before I came.

Attacking the city is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with their own weaknesses, not to mention that they did not bring many siege equipment with them this time.For a while, Zhang Zhiji didn't know what to do.

Forget it, let Your Majesty ask for instructions.

Although this seems to be very incompetent, I really can't think of any other way.

Zhu Youjian, who was far away in the capital, was waiting for Zhang Zhiji to pass the good news to himself after he took down Seoul. Unexpectedly, the good news didn't come, but he waited for help.

After listening to Zhang Zhiji's report, Zhu Youjian felt a pain in the ass.

If the city gate can't be blown open, it will be really troublesome.Invading from the top of the city is almost life-threatening.What's more, if all the nearly [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp were put together, it might not be possible to win the city smoothly.

How could the elite that I managed to raise be buried in this bird place.

After much deliberation, I have to use a stupid method.

fry!Blast the walls!
Ten can't do twenty, twenty can't do thirty.Filling with explosives is better than human life.

According to Zhu Youjian's order, Zhang Zhiji was stationed outside the city, and it seemed that he had no intention of attacking the city at all.

They didn't attack, and Amin and others in the city were happy to be at ease.

There is enough food and grass in the city, let's see who is in a hurry first.

Now that there is not even a gate in Seoul, he is not afraid of traitors in the city anymore, if he has the ability to pry open the city wall overnight, the Ming army will come in.

Time passed day by day, and it was August [-]th in a blink of an eye.

It has been more than two months since the expedition, and the soldiers are a little homesick.Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, thinking of relatives who may or may not be at home, the soldiers can't help feeling a little depressed.

Zhang Zhiji was keenly aware of this problem, and made an exception for the soldiers to drink a bottle of Erguotou for dinner.

Packed in half a catty, it is soft and not over the top.

At this time, he was not afraid that the enemy army would raid at night if he drank too much.

Where is the enemy?

Damn it, the good royal city has turned into an iron barrel, unable to get in or out.

The soldiers were homesick, and so did Zhang Zhiji.I haven't touched a woman for more than two months.

Zhang Zhiji took a mouthful of Erguotou, thinking dully.

I don't know where the explosives sent by His Majesty are.

In fact, he was anxious about Zhu Youjian, and immediately asked Song Yingxing to work overtime to make two thousand explosive kits after getting the news.

Take the train to Tianjin again, and use the two fastest bird ships to quickly transport it to North Korea.It landed directly on Wenshan Mountain and delivered it to Zhang Zhiji without stopping.

It was the end of August.

Zhang Zhiji was going crazy, and so were the soldiers.

Zhu Youjian specially made a thoughtful design for this batch of explosive packs.

Double-sided tape.

It is convenient for it to attach to the surface of the object, which is more powerful.

Zhang Zhiji gave an order, and the blasting team set off again.

And the time was chosen at night.
