When Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he thought of and used a tactic, which was to dig a large hole in the city wall of Kaifeng, buried a considerable amount of gunpowder, and then detonated. As a result, all the gunpowder gas rushed out of the hole dug out, just like a Hawaiian volcano suddenly appeared on the city wall, but what was funny was that the city wall was still quite intact.

It turned out that Li Zicheng's peasant army did not master the method of using Hey gunpowder to blast. Hey gunpowder is not a mature explosive in modern industry. The reason why it can be used as a gunpowder weapon is because the explosion caused by a large amount of gas produced by Hey gunpowder after violent combustion in a confined space. The peasant army did not fill and compact the holes dug out, and the city wall could not be filled. Even if it was filled, the gas could not be sealed, resulting in the gunpowder gas forming a "directional blast" outside the city wall, which killed a group of peasant army.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, the Taiping Army became much smarter when using Hey Gunpowder to explode the city. The Taiping Army formed a soil camp with silver miners from Gui County and coal miners from Moyang, dug tunnels in empty houses outside the city to the city, and buried gunpowder. The Taiping Army called mines. Each mine was wrapped with a quilt, poured with tung oil or filled with coffins to prevent moisture from entering, then evacuating the tunnel and filling the soil, and then detonating.

"Zekelu" says: "Surfing over a huge city is like peeling off a piece of paper."

The gunpowder used by the Ming Dynasty was no different from the gunpowder made by the Taiping Army in the late Qing Dynasty. It may be more refined. Therefore, there is no reason why the Ming Army could not do what the Taiping Army could do, but it was just unexpected.

At this moment, Wei Xuezeng was blaming his generals for the loss of more than a thousand soldiers and horses for three consecutive days. The generals were trained to raise their heads like quails. They were more or less satisfied with Wei Xuezeng. They built the city so firmly that they now let us attack. What do you mean? You don’t know how solid the city is. Just give us thousands of people and face thousands of people. Do you think we are all superman?

Wei Xuezeng was also very angry. Ma Gui and Xiao Ruxun both turned the battle to this level, and there was only one city left in the rebels. In this way, they could not break through the city as soon as possible and opened up the situation to end the rebellion. This was a failure! It was simply a dereliction of duty! Wei Xuezeng also knew that if he couldn't do his job well, he could be imprisoned!

The more I think so, the more anxious I am. Although Wei Xuezeng himself knows that the city is strong and terrible, he still needs to be captured!

The emperor only looks at the results, not the process.

So Wei Xuezeng was quite irritable. He was even worse when he looked at the crooked generals. He was about to speak up and scold him again, when suddenly a soldier came to report that Ningxia Gang General Xiao Ruxun asked for a meeting.

When Wei Xuezeng heard the name, he felt better for some reason, and the other generals seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and transferred all their energy to Xiao Ruxun. The young face like a livestock finally came?

Speaking of which, everyone's feelings for this kid are very complicated.

The victory in Pinglu City was officially defined by Wei Xue. This is indeed the face of a military general. After so many years, it is rare to win a big victory, beheading at level 6,000. It is estimated that only Chengzu had such a big victory in the Northern Expedition, but it is indeed a good example. The nine-sided generals were in the same spirit, and one person went to heaven, and the others could also benefit from it. But your kids won such a big victory and beheading at level 6,000. Do you want to be so fierce? Are you so fierce and shortly apart, which makes us particularly incompetent?

Wei Xue has mentioned Xiao Ruxun a lot these days, saying that if everyone wants Xiao Ruxun to save him so much, that would be great! It is indeed good! Everyone is in a bad mood. Looking at Xiao Ruxun is like looking at other people's children. He is not satisfied with marrying a white, rich and beautiful woman, and he actually has to be a tall, rich and handsome man to start a career. The beginning is so loud. Can you give us all time to breathe?

Wei Xuezhe once did not care about the little thoughts of a few mediocre and incompetent generals. He only cared about real talents. Regardless of civil and military affairs, whoever could relieve his worries, he would value whoever he wanted to ask for me. Now Xiao Ruxun is the number one hero in the northwest. Wei Xuezhe had to go out to greet him personally.

So Wei Xuezeng sorted out his clothes, took care of his hair and his clothes, stabilized his momentum, and then slowly stepped out of the battalion commander. When he saw a tall general walking towards him from a distance, he knew that it was Xiao Ruxun.

When Xiao Ruxun approached, he looked at him and saw his sword-browed eyebrows, starry eyes, and handsome appearance. He had just walked far away and knew that he was dressed and dressed. When he contacted his previous literary name, he looked like a Confucian general with good living habits. He was still very fond of such people. He also had two small beards on his lips and short beards on his chin. It was different from the young and frizzy young man in his twenties that he had in his impression. He gave people a calm and reliable feeling.

Knowing that these old people in the officialdom often say that they are hairless and do things hard, they are very worried about letting young people do things, so Xiao Ruxun cares about leaving her two beards and keeping her beards on her chin, maintaining her demeanor of a Confucian general, which can give people a good impression, especially these civil servants who like this even more.

Sure enough, looking at Wei Xuezeng's shining eyes, Xiao Ruxun knew that his homework had not been done in vain. When he got closer, Xiao Ruxun knelt down on one knee and bowed with fists, and said in a central and peaceful voice: "I will pay my respects to the platform!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Xiao Ruxun! Xiao Jixin! I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Wei Xuezeng nodded with great appreciation, walked towards Xiao Ruxun and helped him up with his own hands. Looking at Xiao Ruxun's handsome appearance, he became more and more satisfied: "I deserve to be a young man that Mr. Yang values. He fights well and fights very well. I have already asked you and General Magui to make merit. If Your Majesty finds out, he will be very happy! Hahahahaha!"

"The last general only has the merit of being a minor one, and it depends on the stewards and the generals on the front line to fight against the main force of the rebels. Only when the last general wins this small victory. If the stewards praise it, the last general is ashamed!"

"Hahaha! It is good for young people to be modest, but don't be too modest. It is bad for too modest! Hahahaha!" Wei Xuezeng knew that this was a flattery, but he was a little bit cool by this gentle flattery. He felt that Xiao Ruxun's senses were getting to the next level, and he felt that he was very different from these rough men in the army. Such a general who had studied should take the imperial examination and become a formal Confucian general, but he was a general. Alas!

The other generals saw Xiao Ruxun getting Wei Xuezeng's smile and appreciation so quickly, and somehow felt a sour feeling in their hearts. However, Xiao Ruxun also praised them. As the saying goes, "Not slapping people with smiles, this little face is very good at being a human being, and is not a arrogant person. This flattery made everyone embarrassed to argue with Xiao Ruxun.

Wei Xue didn't care about these things, and he walked into the big tent with Xiao Ruxun's hand. Xiao Ruxun smiled at these generals kindly, and then entered the big tent. Generals look at me and I look at you, but they don't know what to do...

Entering the tent, Wei Xuezeng let Xiao Ruxun sit in the upper seat intimate position. His intimate look made the generals feel sour and very uncomfortable. Xiao Ruxun didn't know why Wei Xuezeng had such good feelings towards him. Shouldn't these Jinshi masters be very disdainful of Qiu Ba? Didn't you make me unable to be a human in front of these generals?

Xiao Ruxun was helpless and had to go straight to the point: "Making the platform, I will come here to attack the city. At the end of the past few days, I will observe the Ningxia city wall and find that the Ningxia city wall is very strong. Not only is there a urn city, but there are three gates inside it. The damage is too great. Once the response is not enough, I will be blocked by the enemy and everything will be stopped. It is really unfavorable for me."

"Oh?" Wei Xue once looked glaring: "Ji Xin said so much. I wonder what Ji Xin has to do to teach me?"

Teach? Do I dare?

Xiao Ruxun smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not speak out, but I will have an idea. If it is done, I will definitely break the city within one month, but..."

Before Xiao Ruxun finished speaking, Wei Xuezeng grabbed Xiao Ruxun's hand and said excitedly: "No matter how many people in the army are talking about the proposals, the person who speaks is not guilty! Ji Xin will say, I will listen carefully!"

The other generals also straightened their ears one by one to listen to Xiao Ruxun's "Exquisite Theory".

Xiao Ruxun gritted his teeth and said, "The last general's idea is to blow up the city wall with gunpowder!"
