Chapter 53 Wang Yin fires a cannon
In the big tent, Yang Bangyi, Niu Gao and Wang Yin sat opposite each other.&1t;/p>
Yang Bangyi was silent for a few breaths, and looked at Wang Yin and said, "Nephew, Ningwu Pass is dangerous and difficult to attack, and the Liao people refused to fight. The time limit for the government has been several months. What can I do if I do?"&1t;/p>
Yang Bangyi has always been in the army, but not private. But this time he made an exception. He is a match for Niu Gao's father-in-law and son-in-law, and now he treats Wang Yin's uncle and nephew. Yang Bangyi's mood has changed. This is the worst injury he has been in the army for decades, and this may be the last battle in his life.&1t;/p>
"Uncle, Ningwu Pass is the same as Panguan. The pass is narrow and the terrain is high and dangerous, and the thunder chariot cannot play a role. Panguan is the carelessness of the Liao people. We lure the enemy to fight and succeed by luck. Now, suddenly suddenly I will definitely not repeat the mistakes of Hubusile. My nephew thought that either take a detour behind, cut off the enemy's supplies, force the enemy to fight, or the army will press forward and fight bloody battles."&1t;/p>
"Brother Wang Yin, behind Ningwu is Shuozhou. General Wang Xianhe and Gao Chong have taken it bypass, but Shuozhou is an important border defense center in the Liao and Song dynasties. It must be very prepared and difficult to obtain. However, the army fought bloody battles, and our army had only 20,000 troops, but there were 30,000 troops in Ningwu Pass. How could we fight?"&1t;/p>
"Brother Niu, this is Wang Yin, uncle, do you have any other solutions?"&1t;/p>
"Do you know what 'dynamite' is?" Next, Yang Bangyi and Niu Gao explained the origin and function of the explosive to Wang Yin in detail. Wang Yin was stunned and unbelievable when he first heard about the power of explosives. Later, he was grateful to Yang Lin for being young, knowledgeable and extraordinary. Since he had the opportunity to see such advanced power this time, Wang Yin was of course happy to participate.&1t;/p>
Although Yang Bangyi led troops in the northwest for many years and had many confidants under his command, more of them were mixed soldiers from all over the country, and there were "inspectors" appointed by the court such as Wang Boyan. It was still very difficult for Yang Bangyi and others to use explosives to break open Ningwu Pass without knowing it.&1t;/p>
Wang Yin suggested that the trusted person should use explosives on a thunderstorm night, so that others would think that the giant thunder split Ningwu Pass. This is the safest way. Yang Bangyi and Niu Gao carefully considered it and agreed with Wang Yin's suggestion.&1t;/p>
Then, the Song army began to wait for the thunder and rainy night. After a while, even Wang Boyan made fun of Yang Bangyi, saying that he had suffered such a small injury and was timid and timid in fighting, and he could not move forward, and the morale of the upper and lower troops gradually fell into a trough.&1t;/p>
In Ningwu Pass, suddenly, my body improved slightly. One of the three arrows that day shot through the left waist, hurting the organs. The military doctor in the pass tried every possible way to save his life. Fortunately, Yang Bangyi confronted outside the pass for so many days and had not attacked. The people of Liao thought that Yang Bangyi must have been seriously injured, so he was so "well-behaved".&1t;/p>
Suddenly, the most formal sergeant meeting was held on this day for many days: "All the generals, I was careless before, and the Song general Yang Bangyi was also seriously injured by our warrior Yelu Yuanzan. This month has passed, and the Song army did not launch an offensive. What do you think is the reason?"&1t;/p>
"General, subordinates believe that Yang Bangyi must be seriously injured and unable to lead the army, so he dare not attack."&1t;/p>
"It's better for our Yelu Warriors to shoot the arrows. Everyone knows that Yelu's archery is so high that the arrows are very poisonous again. Yang Bangyi is old and can't withstand such serious injuries? Maybe he's already seriously injured and dies. Now the Song people outside the pass are just bluffing."&1t;/p>
"Thank you for the praise of General Polikuo, Yelu was ashamed of. In my opinion, in addition to the serious injury of the Yang family, the main reason is that the young soldiers are few. Emperor Song of Zhao has always distrusts the generals. It is really hard for him to be Yang Bangyi."&1t;/p>
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that our Yelu Yuanzan is not only good at martial arts, but also so humorous. It's really rare. Hahaha..."&1t;/p>
Yelu Yuanzan also laughed a few times: Yang family, it was you who were ruthless and righteous in the past. I, Yelu Yuanzan, swear that you must pay the price.&1t;/p>
"Yelu is right, the Yang family is no longer scary. However, we cannot be lucky. My dead brother is proof. Moreover, my Daliao is now in trouble. I hope you all work together to ensure peace in the south of the Daliao."&1t;/p>
Suddenly, before Yang Bangyi came to Ningwu, he had already received a secret letter from Yelu Chun, the king of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom. He learned that the Jurchen tribe, which was originally affiliated to the Liao Kingdom, had already rebelled under the leadership of Aguda. Aguda and Wu Qimai brothers were brave and good at fighting, and defeated the Dalia army many times. There were even rumors in the army: The Jurchens were not satisfied with ten thousand, and they were invincible. In addition, the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty was furious and ordered the troops from all over the country to send troops north to destroy the Jurchen tribes. At present, the Nanjing Xijin Prefecture and Xijing Datong Prefecture had already drawn a large number of garrisons to go north to go north. It happened that at this time, the Emperor of Zhao Song didn't know what the crazy ones were, and actually sent people to attack Liao. Pianguan. Ningwu Pass was the gateway to southern Liao, which was extremely important, so he transferred Hebule to support Pianguan, and Yelu Yuanzan supported Ningwu Pass.&1t;/p>
Suddenly, I knew that the Liaonan Military Region is actually an empty shell. In addition to the 30,000 troops in the pass, there are almost no other tens of thousands of troops in southern Liaoning. Even the important town of Shuo County is only hundreds of troops left. In this case, as the chief general of Ningwu Pass, the most important thing for him to ensure the safety of Ningwu Pass and not allow the Song army to break through. Therefore, as long as you, Yang Bangyi, stop ahead, I will try not to provoke you, and everything is to be stable.&1t;/p>
One evening a few days later, a large number of dark clouds began to gather in the sky. The Song army knew that a storm was coming.&1t;/p>
The explosives brought by Yang Bangyi from Linzhou were first filled with prepared powder in a solid bamboo tube, which looked a bit like a large firecracker. Then these "big firecrackers" were tightly arranged and tied together with thin wire ropes, similar to the styles during World War II. Then they were wrapped with thick oil cloth outside, connected the leads of each tube together, and finally covered them with wooden boxes, which not only prevents moisture, but also prevents transportation collision accidents.&1t;/p>
Wang Yin quietly transported the mysterious wooden boxes out of the camp in advance, and took advantage of the night to get into ambush at Ningwu Pass. As long as the heavy rain began, the Liao soldiers would definitely hide in the trunk to shelter from the rain. Even though some soldiers were still patrolling, there were no torches and there were not many people led by Wang Yin, and it would be very difficult to be discovered with heavy rain.&1t;/p>
Half an hour later, the raindrops began to grow. The terrain of Ningwu Pass was high and it was impossible to dig a moat. He only dug a small trench under the pass. However, this small trench was almost filled with earth and stone in the previous tentative attack by the Song army. Wang Yin asked his men to carefully hold the wooden box in his arms, and then leaned against the cliff wall slowly approached the pass. The gate at the gate was deeper, with the city gate at one third of the gate, and there was a thousand-jin gate behind the gate. Therefore, Wang Yin's task was not simple to blow up the city gate outside, and he had to find a way to cross the city wall and destroy the thousand-jin gate.&1t;/p>
"Tao Zongwang."&1t;/p>
"Yes, what commander Wang has to give?"&1t;/p>
"Old Tao, now it is a critical moment. You are the person recommended by my aunt (Zhao Yuenu). Whether you can explode the switch this time depends on you."&1t;/p>
"Don't worry, Commander Wang, I, Lao Tao, is a professional household in digging pits and building walls. My mistress asked me to help this time. Can I still lose her face? Don't worry."&1t;/p>
"That's good, and also, don't call me the commander. I'm just a team leader. I'll take people over the city wall and put the explosives under the Qianjin Gate inside. When you buckle the hole on the ground, it's enough to place the size of the explosives box. At the time of Yin, we will ignite the leads together, and then you will withdraw and be careful to bury yourself."&1t;/p>
"Wang Tong..., Brother Wang, you must be careful. After clicking, find a place to hide. When General Niu's army attacks, you will come out again."&1t;/p>
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was lightning and thunder, accompanied by the whistling wind, which made the night look even more "violent". Alic looked at the heavy rain outside through the window in the prison, and was even more frustrated. Since he escaped from the border and came to report the message to Hu Chu Shi Si, he was imprisoned by Hu Chu Shi Si for escape. He also knew that escaping at the last minute was a serious crime of beheading, but Gao Chong was so scary that he turned around and escaped. Now Hu Chu Shi Si fought against Yang Bangyi and had no time to deal with him. When the war ended, he should be sentenced and beheaded.&1t;/p>
Wang Yin took his two assistants to find out the hook rope (a special tool for climbing the city wall in ancient night attacks), and threw it hard towards the battlements. On a thunderstorm night, the sound of the iron hook touching the city bricks was not worth mentioning. The three of them pulled the rope and confirmed that they had hooked tightly. Then they quietly climbed up along the rope, and then used the rope to gently pull the explosive box tied by others under the wall to the top of the city.&1t;/p>
On this stormy night, no one is willing to start a war. Because both sides cannot use bows and arrows, they all rely on close combat, and it is particularly difficult for the siege side to attack the city. Therefore, almost all the guards on the city walls shelter from towers or hidden places in the siege of the siege.&1t;/p>
Wang Yin was secretly happy and quickly called his assistant to touch the city gate. The cave in the city gate was relatively dry, and five or six Liao soldiers were sleeping soundly beside the Qianjin Gate. Wang Yin signaled his assistant not to move, then took out the dagger from his boots, ran up, covered the mouth and nose of a Liao soldier, and slashed at the back of his heart. Before the Liao soldier woke up, he had already suffered his life. Wang Yin quickly refused to hold back. In a flash, the Liao soldiers in the city gate lie all over the ground. Wang Yin confirmed that there was no more surviving within ten steps around, so he called the other two people to hold the explosive box and go to Qianjin Gate.&1t;/p>
The keel of the Qianjin Gate is made of very tough wood, with a size of 20 cm; it is wrapped in iron clothes on the outside and then riveted with iron nails; the entire Qianjin Gate weighs thousands of kilograms, which is extremely strong and difficult to break. Even if it is to be opened, at least several strong men need to control the winch at the same time, which is a heavy weapon for the city's defense. Wang Yin and the other two tied the explosive box they brought to the support points of the Qianjin Gate, arranged the leads completely, covered the corpses of the Liao people, picked up swords and guns, and found a place to hide them nearby.&1t;/p>
Just as the ugly moment passed, Wang Yin, who had been alert, vaguely heard the cat's meow outside the city gate. This was the time to move. Wang Yin called his assistant, took out the fire and twisted it to the Qianjin Gate and ignite the lead, and then escaped from the city gate as fast as possible, ran to a slightly farther building before stopping.&1t;/p>
At this time, a huge lightning flashed across the dark rainy night. With the earth-shaking roar, the Ningwu Pass city gate was exploded.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
