Guangning.

"Ma, what is this dog emperor doing?"

Tunqi lay on the city wall and looked out of the city blankly and said.

Half a month has passed since the Ming army arrived in Guangning. For more than half a month, he has been waiting worriedly every day, waiting for the cannonballs falling from the sky and the terrifying figure of the dog emperor. However, what made him confused was that the Ming army did not launch an attack. Of course, he had no courage to go out of the city to fight back. He was unforgettable in the battle of Jinzhou. The dog emperor's invincible figure among thousands of troops still appears in his nightmare every day. Even the defeated generals of the remnants dare not go out of the city to fight. Anyway, his mission is to try to hold the Ming army and stop them from attacking Niuzhuang and even Chenyang. This is also considered to be a goal to be achieved, but the dog emperor's actions have made him wonder.

Because in the Ming army camp outside the city, a huge machine was slowly being pushed out.

This object is a wooden rack with a lot of wooden wheels underneath. On the rack is a long cross bar, with a square wooden cage attached to one end of the cross bar, which is filled with large stones picked up from the mountain, while on the other end of the cross bar is decorated with a leather pocket...

Well, this is a trencher.

Of course he understood what this was for, but this ancient weapon had basically withdrawn from the battlefield after the popularization of cannons. After all, its range in front of cannons was too pitiful.

He looked at each other with a Jiala beside him. Although there were indeed no cannons in Guangning City, it was still speechless to use such things to attack the city. What about the cannons in the hand of the dog emperor? He used the cannon to bomb Lianshan. Did he think that throwing stones to hit the city wall is easier than cannons to hit the city wall? By the way, even those stones weighing dozens of kilograms, it would be too funny to hit the city wall. This thing had to use hundreds of kilograms of stones to hit the city wall, but it was so close to the city wall that it would not agree to the bird gun on the city wall!

This is completely inexplicable.

However, just when he was confused, the huge catapult stopped.

"It's OK, the distance is one hundred feet."

Next to this huge counterweight trencher, Yang Feng looked at the towering tower of Ying'en Gate in Guangning City and said.

"Prepare!"

An officer beside him immediately shouted to the back.

Immediately afterwards a four-wheeled carriage led by two horses.

This new carriage with the emperor's pattern has begun to become popular among the Ming army in the north. This wooden four-wheeled carriage is very simple to manufacture, with a transportation capacity far exceeding the old-fashioned carriage, and is even equipped with special shock-absorbing spring plates. In the future, all the transportation of the Ming army will be replaced with this.

The carriage carried a huge iron bucket and drove to the back of the trencher to stop. Then more than a dozen soldiers stepped forward and carefully moved the green iron bucket that was almost chest-high. They knocked it open with a chisel and put it on a small round lid. A choking smell immediately came out.

Then an officer inserted a tin sock.

A soldier came forward with a wine jar in his arms. The officer twitched the socks. It was clear inside and emitted a banana-like smell, but extremely pungent liquid was constantly pumped up, and then flowed into the wine jar along the tube...

Uh, this is the diluent for ink.

Or it is also called fragrant water.

When the wine jar was filled, it was quickly moved aside, and then sealed the mouth with a cork wrapped in a cloth strip, and then put it into the counterweight catapult leather pocket that had been ready for release. A soldier lit the cloth strip with a torch. The soldier in charge of the launch in front smashed the blocking iron with a hammer. The wooden cage filled with stones suddenly fell down. Under the principle of leverage, the other end of the crossbar was extremely fast, and the skin bags attached below were thrown out. When the skin bags reached the end, the wine jar with flames flew out like a meteor, and in a blink of an eye, it reached three hundred meters away.

Tunqi, who was on the Yingen Gate Tower in Guangning City, looked up at the scene in surprise.

The wine jar instantly flew over his head, and with a fire, it suddenly hit the door of the main hall of a courtyard in the city. The flames exploded and countless flames scattered everywhere. The wooden doors and windows were immediately swallowed by the fire. Before he could wake up, the house turned into a burning torch, and spread outward under the southeast wind. A lame Eight Banner veteran ran out from the inside screamed and rolled on the ground with a full body of fire, and soon lay there and stopped moving.

Not far from Tunqi, a temporary recruited flag militia suddenly let out a sad howl and ran under the city wall desperately.

"This qin beast!"

Looking at this scene, Aisin Gioro Tunqi said in grief.

He finally understood what the dog emperor was preparing to do after delaying for more than half a month. He wanted to burn Guangning! Where did this dog emperor have such great hatred for the Manchu people? Isn’t it just Ajige scolded Zhu Yuanzhang? As for this kind of reluctance! Where did the noble character of Confucius and Mencius and the country of etiquette go?

"Put the fire!"

Then he yelled.

At this time, residents have gone to put out the fire recently. Guangning has been captured for many years. The bannermen here have taken root. They are not the kind of people who have just been captured for a few years. The relatives and property of those bannermen are here. They don’t want everything to be turned into ashes. But this is not an ordinary fire, it is a jar of dozens of kilograms of fragrant water. This is oil and fire, which is not so easy to extinguish. This thing is splashed on wood and burned, which is very cruel. Not to mention burning these houses mainly made of wooden structures, it is good to burn tanks on the battlefield of World War II. Even this jar can be destroyed if it hits Xie Mantou.

The firefighters were getting stronger and stronger, and soon the rolling smoke rushed straight into the sky.

"This is called the city of fire burning. I said I would use them to pay tribute to the people in Liaodong. Since it is a sacrifice, of course it will be burned. Continue, day and night, when will Guangning City burn to ashes stop!"

Yang Feng sat upright on the chair and said.

Not far away, around the catapult, the Ming army was busy preparing for the next launch. Next to the iron bucket, the second incense burning bullet was completed. There were several carriages waiting for iron buckets. In the Ming army camp behind, there were more iron buckets piled up. His Majesty the Emperor asked Taizu for a hundred barrels of this thing. It was said that it was not enough and could be asked again. At the same time, the second catapult was completed and soon it would be pushed outside Guangning City and joined the attack ranks, and more catapults were also being manufactured.

This thing has a strong incense and water burning bullet than a mortar and flowering bullet.

The latter's arson effect is actually very average. The aluminum powder Mars does not have the ability to burn continuously. It will only ignite if it is hit in the right position. However, this is fragrant water. If it is not burned for a few minutes, it will not be burned. Even in modern flammable products, it can be ranked first. What's more important is that this thing is not just burning. If it is smashed like this, it will not be too late to burn it all. It is highly toxic. Although it cannot achieve the effect of qi, it will definitely not taste good for those who put out the fire. Even if the environment is not open enough, it will also produce a detonation effect.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to burn like this, the Tartars will be in a hurry to jump over the wall."

Tang Yu said with a smile.

"If they dare to come out, then I will wait for them here!"

Yang Feng said with a teacup.

While speaking, the second incense burner was thrown out again, and then the second smoke pillar in Guangning City rose slowly, followed by the third and fourth...

As the Ming soldiers operated calmly, these vicious weapons continued to fly to Guangning City, creating fire points in the city. The bannermen who had lived here for many years ran around the city with grief and anger, trying their best to save their homes. Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain at this time. The wine jars that kept falling from their heads kept spreading the fire, and more and more houses were burning, and more and more bannermen were crying and being dragged into the fire. The tragedy of the city burning fire began to take place.

And today it was the southeast wind. The Ming army was in the south of Guangning City. The blazing fire spread rapidly north under the urging of the wind. Soon, half of Guangning had fired soaring into the sky.

The flagmen who were not on the city walls didn't care about putting out the fire at this time, and the fire could not be saved. They didn't know how many incendiary bombs they had to put out for a while. What they could do now was to escape to safety before the fire reached themselves. As for those who could not escape, they had to be buried in the fire. The streets could see the flagmen who were covered with flames, and they were everywhere, waiting for death, and the dead bodies burned into a skeleton like fried chicken wings were everywhere. Twenty years ago, they relied on traitors to sell them, captured the city and killed the owner of the city. Now it's time to pay the price.

With more and more screams behind him, Tunqi lay on the city wall, looking at the yellow crank cover in the distance with grief and anger, and the vague red figure.

Guangning turned into a sea of ​​fire like this.

But he had no choice.

He had no way to deal with such things. The only thing he could use to counterattack on the city wall was bird guns, which was impossible to hit there. The crossbow was OK, but it had no practical significance. The only thing that could work was cannons. Guangning was originally a city behind the front line, and even though there were not a few cannons before, Jinzhou did not need defense at all. After Dorgon lost all the cannons in Ningyuan, he tried his best to search for cannons in order to attack Beijing's unimportant cities everywhere. Of course, it would not be spared from the closest place, so he could only be helpless now. Tunqi was even glad that the dog emperor only used a catapult now and did not use the kind of shells that were said to be able to explode, otherwise he would be even more miserable.
Chapter completed!
