Wanli 1592

Chapter 28 Xiao Ruxun with a big brain
Faced with such a situation, Xiao Ruxun probably guessed the firm belief of the defenders in the city, so he mobilized fifty cannons to bombard the city wall of Ningxia with solid bullets outside the range of the arrow rain, and bombarded the head of Ningxia city with flowering bullets. The walls of the bombed city were in tatters, and the rebels suffered many casualties.

However, the thickness of Ningxia's city walls is beyond Xiao Ruxun's imagination, and the flowering bullets can't destroy it at all. Whether it's Fran's machine gun or Ye Gongshen's gun, solid bullets can only make a hole, and they can't cause actual damage at all, which is convenient for attacking the city. .

And soon, the rebels also pulled up a dozen Franco machine guns from the city to shoot at the Ming army. The Ming army lost two cannons and several gunners. Xiao Ruxun ordered to retreat and stop feinting.

Ma Gui was very displeased with the failure of the feint attack. Seeing Xiao Ruxun came back, he pointed at the city and scolded: "The city was originally used to guard against captives, but now it is used to guard against the Ming army! The traitors are so hateful! I am so angry! "

Sitting at the desk, Xiao Ruxun poured himself a cup of tea, tore off a piece of mutton that was being roasted, and ate it heartily.

Ma Gui couldn't hold back anymore, with annoyed and depressed expression on his face.

"Brother Ji Xin! Why are you so stable!? If the city cannot be captured, we will not be able to eat good fruit!"

Xiao Ruxun gnawed on the mutton comfortably, then tore off a leg of lamb and handed it to Ma Gui: "Eat first, and then eat when you are full. People are like iron and steel, and no matter how strong a person is, he still needs to eat and rest. If you don't eat, you don't rest." Nothing can be done."

Ma Gui depressedly took the leg of lamb, and was about to give it to his mouth, when his eyes widened suddenly: "You mean, we will besiege and not attack, and wait for the rebels in the city to run out of food, and then we will win without fighting? "

Xiao Ruxun raised his head and looked at Ma Gui in surprise. Ma Gui looked at Xiao Ruxun's surprised eyes and thought he had guessed right, and was about to boast, when Xiao Ruxun put on a contemptuous look: "No, I'm just hungry Are you hungry? Besides, do you know how much food the rebels in the city have? How long is it enough? They take it locally, but we transport it here. Forty thousand soldiers eat horse chews. If the rebels can persist Will we be besieged for another year? Are you not afraid that the rebels will kill the residents of the city to eat?"

Hearing this, Ma Gui became even more depressed, and stopped talking, and buried her head in gnawing on the mutton, which was so vicious, she probably regarded the mutton as the meat of worship.

Xiao Ruxun smiled, looked at the mutton in his hand, and began to think about it—a strong attack would definitely not work, even if all the [-] Ming troops were dead, they might not be able to take Ningxia City, the loss was too great, even if they took Ningxia City, they would not be able to take it. It's a great achievement, but it's not worth it.

Surrounding without attacking will not work, the emperor will never accept it.

Outsmart, outsmart, how to outsmart?I can think of a capable person like Wei Xuezeng, who can also think of persuading surrender, alienation, internal cooperation and external cooperation, etc., all of which were seen through without exception by Qi Bai and Liu Dongyang, who were at the peak of IQ, and humiliated themselves until half a year later. The rebels succeeded on the verge of a mental breakdown, but it was too late.

Flooding, you have to build embankments first, store water, and wait for a month to do it again, and you have to guard against the rebels coming out of the city to counterattack. After a long time, variables will arise, and all kinds of ghosts and snakes will jump out. Emperor Wanli's temperament is not everyone. I don't know, although Ye Mengxiong and Li Rusong did that, but Xiao Ruxun didn't plan to wait until they came to share his credit.

Firearms attack the city, the strength of the city is too high, the [-] Ming army is facing almost one of the ten strongest cities in the entire Ming Dynasty, you can still use the howitzers of the early [-]th century, the current Ming army The main battle artillery, the Franc machine gun, does not have that much kinetic energy to destroy the city wall, and the solid bullet is the same. Even if it is replaced with a thousand-jin iron cannon, the General Cannon is the same, it is useless!

Set fire to the city and bring down the walls?It is estimated that you will not be able to reach the bottom of the city wall without paying [-] troops. With such a terrifying long-range attack power, there is still no idea how many ordnance materials are in the arsenal of Ningxia City!

Digging tunnels to attack the city?This is a very common and routine method. I guess people are also on guard, just listen to it all the time.

Why do you feel that what you are facing is not a city but a turtle with thorns on its back?
Thinking about it, Xiao Ruxun caught a glimpse of the burning firewood, and the dancing flames were rushing...Suddenly, he thought of something, and sat up straight suddenly.

Ma Gui glanced sideways at Xiao Ruxun, and muttered, "What are you doing? Do you think that everyone in your family is a lady, or do you want to break the city?"

Xiao Ruxun just stared at Ma Gui in a daze, smiled wryly for a long time, lamented how big his brain was, and then said: "I really thought about how to break the city, but in this way, I don't know how many innocent people The common people will suffer because of this, and after the war, we are afraid that we will spend a lot of money, but if this method is implemented, the city will be destroyed within a month, and there will not be too many soldiers killed or injured..."

Ma Gui was stunned, and didn't care if the leg of lamb fell on the ground. He immediately leaned forward and said excitedly: "Say it, tell me! Nothing is more important than this gang of rebels! As long as we can put down the rebels, what will we do?" All are acceptable!"

"Is it acceptable to blow up a section of the city wall of Ningxia?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Ma Gui with a half-smile, Ma Gui blinked, then straightened up, looked elsewhere, then at Xiao Ruxun, pointed to himself and then to the sky outside, with an uncertain tone. With a blank face, he said, "Blow up the city wall? You mean, blow up the city wall? The Ningxia city wall? Just the thick city wall that can't even be hit by solid bullets?"

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Think about it, if we attack by force, we can only choose the gate of the city, but there is an urn at the gate of the city, and there are three gates inside, and there is another one if we capture one, and we are besieged from three sides. Our few people are enough for rebels Food? When the time comes, the rebel army will follow my strategy in Pinglu City and lure us in, so shall we go to die? Or shall we go to die? Or shall we go to die?”

Ma Gui stretched out three fingers, and broke them with a blank expression: "Why don't I seem to understand what you are talking about? We are colleagues, right? It's Pao Ze, right? Why can't I hear what you say? Understand?"

Xiao Ruxun stretched out two fingers: "Don't think too much, it's normal that you don't understand, as long as Wei Zhitai can understand, I think I need about [-] warriors and [-] catties of gunpowder."

Half an hour later, Xiao Ruxun, who was full of food and drink, took advantage of the night to cross the east side of Ningxia City with his personal guards while Magui was thinking about life with a blank expression on his face, and came to Wei Xuezeng camp in a big circle. A large camp for several miles.

After the end of the world, Xiao Ruxun had a very deep research on the use of gunpowder. He read history books, especially in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties when gunpowder weapons were popular. Xiao Ruxun was very interested in the history books of these two periods, especially the history of war. .

Later, from the deserted library of CD City, Xiao Ruxun got a copy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War History, which mentioned a special method used by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Army to attack the Jiangnan Jiancheng defended by the Qing Army.
