Chapter 457 Send You to Heaven
The Shenjiying was very efficient and quickly found what Shen Changgong wanted.
Shen Changgong personally taught the soldiers of the Shenji Camp how to make explosive packs.
They wrapped the gunpowder in dry cloth, leaving enough for the fuse, tied it tightly with ropes, and then put it one by one into the big box.
After an hour and a half of hard work, everyone finally made a super-equivalent explosive pack.
It weighs at least a thousand kilograms.
It was already past lunchtime, and Shen Changgong arranged for people to use a car to pull the explosive pack to the front line.
Ma Ling looked at what Shen Changgong had brought and said in surprise,
"What is this?"
"Have you eaten anything that can blow down the city walls? After you've eaten, prepare for battle."
"As ordered!"
Nie Bei immediately commanded the army to fight.
Then, Shen Changgong called Nie Bei and asked him to arrange a team of people, promising them huge profits, and act as a suicide squad. Under the cover of artillery, they were sent over to blow up the city wall.
There is a high risk in blowing up the city wall. If you run too slowly, you might be killed. Therefore, the reward for this mission is very generous.
After listening to this, Nie Bei pondered for a moment, and actually called over his most loyal guards, picking out the ten fastest runners from them.
"The prince has a very dangerous mission for you. This time, whether you live or die depends on your own ability.
If you do this kind of good thing once, you will have enough food and drink for ten years. If you die, the reward will be enough for your family to live for a lifetime.
Do you dare to do it? "
"Master, fortune and honor are achieved through risk. Let's do it!"
"We will obey the Marshal's orders, even if it means death!"
"Good job, go find the prince, he will tell you the details."
Ten people came to Shen Changgong and knelt on one knee to salute.
"Please get up."
Shen Changgong patted the box on the wooden cart beside him and said,
"I need you to pull this box of things to the bottom of the city wall, quickly dig a one-foot-deep pit at the base of the wall, then pour this box in, light the fuse and run away.
Run as fast as you can, get it?
During this time, I will use artillery fire to protect you."
A guard asked quickly,
"Your Highness, why don't we use horses to pull the carriage? We can protect the horses. Wouldn't it be faster to get there this way?"
Shen Changgong shook his head and said,
"A horse will get scared and run away if it's too close to where the shells land. What if it runs away with the cart while you're digging? So someone needs to go."
"The villain understands."
Shen Changgong explained how to use the fuse and then asked them to get ready.
At this time, the Tianyu Army and the Pingnan Army had already rushed back during the noon time.
The city gate was completely blocked and could not be opened for a long time. They could only blow up the city wall to get in, so there was no point in them staying on those two sides. It would be better for them to rush in together from the west gate.
Yu Ziling also observed the movements of the Yan army and immediately transferred most of the troops on the other two city walls to the west.
Of course, there was not enough space for so many people to stand on the top of the city wall. Most of them were in the military camps and houses behind the city wall, ready to be replaced at any time.
Yu Ziling was fully prepared for a protracted war.
Soon, Yu Ziling keenly observed that the Yan army's cannons were pushed over again and began to be fixed.
"Quickly retreat! The Yan army is about to bombard us again! Quickly retreat!"
Yu Ziling shouted loudly, asking the soldiers to go downstairs.
The soldiers skillfully moved quickly downwards using the stairs and ladders.
As soon as they moved, the Yan army's artillery bombardment arrived.
They could only lock themselves behind the city walls, shivering, waiting for the bombardment to end and for the enemy infantry to rush up.
Under the artillery fire, a team of ten people quickly pulled the car forward.
Among them, five people were responsible for holding the shields, two people pulled in the front, and three people pushed in the back, and they moved very quickly.
There were whistling artillery shells overhead, and their target was the city wall one hundred meters north of the city gate.
The city gates and the corners of the city walls are too thick to be blown open, so the city walls have to be blown up.
When they were almost at the city wall, the Shenji Camp stopped bombarding.
They knew that time waited for no one and the Qi army was about to climb the city wall.
Ten people came to the base of the city wall, took the iron shovels prepared on the cart, and quickly started digging a hole.
And on the city wall, there were also dense footsteps.
They were racing against time. Ten people dug a pit that was two square meters and one foot deep, which was considered relatively fast.
On the city wall, the Qi army took their positions again, holding bows and arrows and looking outside.
"Huh? Where are the Yan army? Why aren't they attacking the city?"
A Qi army general beside Yu Ziling said in surprise.
Yu Ziling shook her head and said,
"Are they trying to trick us up here and launch another round of bombardment?"
"Then the bombardment should have arrived by now, why aren't they firing yet?"
The Qi army was confused until they heard someone shout,
"Look, what is that? There is someone down there!"
Everyone looked down.
Yu Ziling, who was on the other side of the city gate, also leaned out to look down, and saw ten Yan soldiers busy unloading a wooden box from a cart into the pit.
Yu Ziling was confused for a while, not knowing what the other party was going to do.
But no matter what they do, they can't be allowed to do it.
What the enemy wants to do is definitely what you don't want to see.
"Shoot them! Shoot them! Shoot them!"
Yu Ziling at the city gate roared loudly.
The Qi army just above to the west immediately shot arrows downwards.
At this time, the Yan army below had successfully poured the box of explosives in.
Five men held up shields to block the arrows, while the remaining five men pulled the fuse and ran away.
After running more than ten meters, the fuse reached the end. They held their shields above their heads, and the rest of the people took the tinder and lit the fuse.
The fuse burned quickly and shortened rapidly.
"run!"
The captain of the guards roared, and they threw down their shields and ran westward at the fastest speed they had ever run.
This is a real race against death.
When Yu Ziling saw this scene, her pupils shrank sharply and she shouted,
"Hurry up and pour water on that thing!"
She vaguely saw the burning sparks.
Although she didn't know what that thing was, she knew how powerful the Yan army's firearms were.
In the Yan army, anything related to fire is extremely dangerous.
But water can conquer fire.
There were many Qi soldiers above, and they had no time to shoot the ten Yan soldiers. They hurriedly took out the water bottles at their waists and poured water down.
but……
A drop in the bucket.
The fuse burned into the box.
Immediately afterwards...
boom! ! !
A huge explosion occurred, flames shot up into the sky, and the entire city wall shook.
The section of the city wall with the explosive pack was blown directly into the sky, collapsed with a loud bang, and rubble flew everywhere, leaving a gap of one hundred meters wide.
