While the Ming army began shelling, Yang Xu issued an order to ignite and explode.

In today's era, blasting uses the most basic means, that is, blasting of open flame fuses.

During the ignition to blasting process, there is a time for the Ming army to evacuate in the tunnel. The length of the entire tunnel has exceeded five miles. The Ming army inside needs at least one quarter of an hour to evacuate after ignition. In addition, three tunnels are blasted at the same time, so the control time needs to be more accurate and the blasting is ensured to be successful.

In order to ensure this, Ming Jun also conducted precision tests on the lead setting of the fuse and adopted the method of double lead ignition.

When the Ming army's artillery began, the Ming army in charge of ignition in the tunnel ignited the fire at the same time according to the feedback from the artillery, and then quickly evacuated the passage.

After the ignited Ming army ran out from the exit of the passage, it happened to be the time when it started to snow. When the snowflakes fell on Yang Xu, although Yang Xu was unmoved on the surface, he was extremely nervous at this time because he knew what it meant and knew even if it was successful.

After forgetting the time, Yang Xu issued an order to let the troops prepare to attack Ulanwude on the whole line. All the Ming troops, who were in the attack, moved instantly and prepared for the attack. At the same time, the Ming army was patiently waiting for the success of the blasting. It was the strange behavior of the Ming army that in the Ulanwude Russians, the Ming army was frightened by the sudden snow and became a little panicked.

One minute...two minutes...three minutes...

Time passed by minute by minute, but the expected explosion still did not appear, which made Yang Xu feel a little anxious.

Could it be that the siege of his own cave failed? This is impossible! In order to ensure success, the Ming army not only dug three tunnels, but also adopted the setting of a double fuse. No matter how it is said, it is impossible that the explosion of the three channels will all fail due to accidents, right?

Just when Yang Xu and his subordinates were uneasy and even suspected that the blasting had failed, a sudden vibration came from the ground first, and then two more vibrations were heard. The vibration seemed to be like a ground dragon turning over. The Ming army several miles away from Ulan-Ude was a little unstable for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the vibration became louder and louder, and the rumbling sound also sounded, and the sound was a little dull, as if it was coming from a very far place.

It seems to be a long description, but it is actually very short. In a blink of an eye, three dazzling flames lit up in the direction of Ulanwude. Then the explosion seemed to break free from the ground and suddenly became extremely loud. Then, in the direction of the explosion, countless bricks and stones and fragments of human body's remains splashed everywhere, and at the same time, the rolling smoke and dust rose, making people unable to see clearly what was going on.

"Occurrence! Attack!"

When the explosion gradually lowered, Yang Xu could not tell the result of the explosion at this time, because the smoke and dust rising in the direction of the explosion were simply unseen.

But at this time, Yang Xu decisively issued an order to attack the entire line, because no matter what the result was, he had to take this opportunity to attack Ulanwude. The opportunity was just like this. If Ulanwude's defenders reacted, then there would be no possibility for the Ming army.

When the order was issued, the Ming army, who had been ready, shouted slogans and rushed towards Ulanwude like a tide. When the Ming army rushed forward ran to the vicinity of the Ulanwude city wall in a few minutes, the smoke and dust gradually faded.

At this time, the Ming army was shocked to see that the entire Ulan Ude city wall was no longer what it was before. There were three severe collapses at the city wall near the east of Ulan Ude. One of them collapsed slightly, while the other two relatively close city walls almost collapsed.

The two city walls were torn apart by the Ming army's blasting. The larger ones were about fifteen wide, the smaller ones were five or six meters away, countless gravels, and the fragments of the corpses of the Russians who were originally defending the two city walls were mixed together in a bloody and bloody way. Although the Russians who were closer to the city saved the entire body, they had bleeding from their mouths and noses and their eyes were wide open and they were shocked to death.

Many Russians even took off their pants when they died, and they died on the spot with ugly words. They probably were shocked to death when someone was peeing far away in the competition.

In addition to these dead Russians, there were more Russians who were shocked and completely lost their sense of discernment. They lay in a daze around the city wall, their eyes blankly.

Seeing this, the Ming army was overjoyed and rushed directly into Ulan Wude without hesitation.

When the Ming army's attacking troops rushed into the Ulan Ude City like a tide, it was no longer surprising to take down Ulan Ude.

The defending city was so dizzy that the Ming army siege was siege. There were hundreds of Russians who were regarded as dead during the blasting alone, and more people were also bombed and unable to wake up for a while. When the Ming army rushed to them in a fierce manner, many Russians had not had time to react.

First, they cleared the two ends of the city wall to open the road for the subsequent troops, and then the Ming army continued to kill in the gap.

When they got inside, the Russians who were far away from the city wall had already reacted at this time. Although these Russians immediately organized resistance, under the attack of the Ming army like a tide, these resistances did not have much effect. In less than an hour, the entire Ulan-Ude was basically occupied by the Ming army. The remaining hundreds of Russians in the city retreated into the church in the city and relied on the church's firm resistance.

But this kind of stubborn resistance was useless. The Ming army even took down the strong Ulan Ude, and were still afraid of the remnants of a church?

The attacking Ming army did not say a word and directly fired the church with a tiger squat cannon. After a few shells were taken down, the Russians in the church saw that the situation was too far away, so they used muskets to pick up their stripped underwear and swung desperately outside and surrendered.

At noon, all the defenders in the city were cleared out, and the entire Ulan Ude completely fell into the hands of the Ming army. When Yang Xu learned that Ulan Ude had completely taken over from the front line, he was finally relieved. He showed a gratified smile on his face, and waved his hand and entered the city!

The battle of Ulan Ude ended from the Ming army's attack from the valley to the capture of Ulan Ude. The entire battle took nearly a month and a half.

The Ming army suffered more than 2,800 casualties in this battle, more than 3,000 Russian defenders suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and nearly 8,000 were captured.

This battle was thrilling. If Gregori's defense in the valley was stronger and his resistance took longer. Or if Gregori discovered the intention of attacking the Ming army in advance and took precautions, then the winner of this battle would not be Yang Xu but Gregori.

Unfortunately, Gregory was unable to wait for the victory to come. Although the Ulan-Ude defenders had always had a certain advantage over the Ming army, especially due to weather, the final result of the war was that the Ming army won a great victory, and the entire Ulan-Ude defenders were wiped out. Even the ordinary Russians and residents of other ethnic groups in Ulan-Ude became the victory of the Ming army.
