When the food was served, he forced a smile and had a meal with his concubine. After the meal, Shao Kai tactfully asked the concubine to pack up and return to his parents' home for the time being.

"Official—" the wife asked hesitantly: "Why did I let me go back to my parents' home? Is this city unable to be kept? Are you lying to me just now?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Shao Kai deliberately lowered his face and said, "All husbands have to be busy guarding the city these days, and they don't care about their families. They are afraid that their servants will not take good care of them, so they asked you to go back to your parents' home first."

The concubine sighed softly, stroked her stomach and said quietly, "Last night, it was drums and shouting again, and it kept ringing. I was worried that I had not slept all night. Officials, if I can guard this city, if I can't keep it, I must take care of myself and care about my body and flesh in my stomach."

Shao Kai coaxed her and sent his wife back to his parents' home. Then he sat alone in the room, thinking about it, thinking that the city defense should be fine, but just in case, there was nothing wrong.

…………………

In the next two days, the Red Turban Army repeated the same action, and even Zhao Tian CD felt annoyed. But he didn't dare to take it lightly and still had to inspect and supervise seriously.

There are many fire drums at night and many flags at daytime, so they will cause trouble to the enemy's eyes and ears, so that they will not know why they are prepared for my plan, and they will win.

Although the tunnel was dug in the middle of the night on the third day and the gunpowder had been filled, Meng Jiucheng thought about it again and again and did not take a night battle with many variables. There were many soldiers and a wide range of generals, so it was better to fight with dignified battles and win steadily!

In order to make a decision, Meng Jiucheng personally went down to the trench, entered the tunnel, and inspected all the work of blasting and siege. Until he felt that there was no problem, he returned to the camp and slept well.

Early the next morning, the Red Turban Army had a full meal. After a short rest, all the troops began to act according to the combat plan. The feint attacking troops set off in the east of the city, while the main attacking troops lined up in the west of the city.

The defenders also realized that the Red Turban Army's actions were different from the past. Generals such as Zhao Tiancheng realized that the enemy was about to attack the city, and they were all dressed in neat orders and commanded the city defenses they were responsible for.

"Meng", "Wang", "Han" and "Qiao" raised their flags in the Red Turban Army formations east and west of the city, which meant that the generals had taken their own positions and were ready to attack the city.

"The sky is favored by the red scarf, and the Tartars will be destroyed."

"Magnificent, mighty!"

"God blesses our army, and we are invincible."

"Thousands of victory, thousands of victory!"

The Red Turban Army soldiers shouted and knocked on their weapons, making roars like mountains and seas.

Zhao Tiancheng stood on the city wall, his face suddenly became solemn, and his fists subconsciously clenched tightly.

From military appearance to formation, this is obviously different from the bandits. With the shouting, Zhao Tian CD felt that the opponent's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and the shouting became stronger.

Meng Jiucheng's expression was solemn and majestic. He looked at the red flag waving in the distance by the engineer team, nodded gently, and made a gesture. The soldiers beside him immediately set their flags and orders.

The cry gradually became silent, and the Red Turban Army remained motionless in the face of the city. The defenders on the city were ready for battle, and the solemn aura became more and more serious.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Han Shouzhong, who was in charge of the main attack, seemed a little impatient and turned his head to ask.

"General..." Han Shouzhong opened his mouth and felt the ground under his feet suddenly shaking, followed by a deafening explosion, cutting off the words he had not had time to spit out.

Han Shouzhong turned his head and looked at the city. He could no longer see any walls, only smoke in the sky, and the smoke and dust pillars that surged in the air.

The Red Turban Army soldiers who were waiting for the array did not see clearly what was going on. Some of them had very good eyesight and felt that they seemed to see the west city wall bursting from the inside out, bricks and stones and dust inside rose into the air, as if a monster was about to emerge from the belly of the city wall.

Just as the loud bang was heard, the monster rushed into the air from the surface, and the smoke and dust brought up covered the city wall tightly and could not see anything.

All the Red Turban Army raised their heads and looked at the smoke pillar that was running upwards. After a while, a rain of gravel fell from the blasting point, and a large amount of soil and dust fell back to the ground from the air and drifted out for a long time, even falling on the heads of the Red Turban Army soldiers arranged in the distance.

The city wall was blown up with a large gap of more than two meters wide, filled with smoke and dust, mixed with black gunpowder and the wail of the injured, broken bricks and gravels were scattered all over the ground, and the scene was in a mess.

"Beat the drum and attack!" Meng Jiucheng raised his spear and pointed forward with force.

The order was issued and the war drums sounded, and the shocked Red Turban Army soldiers woke up.

"Occurrence, attack!" Han Shouzhong suppressed his heart and shouted.

"Crash, kill!" Under the leadership of the officer, the Red Turban Army launched an attack.

The ladder and wooden boards formed a pathway, and some soldiers advanced along the trench and climbed up the trench that was only two meters high.

"Our army has won." Wang Zhongfeng put down his telescope, feeling and marveling.

The smoke and dust were gradually dissipating. He had already seen the red flags on both sides of the collapsed city wall. The Red Turban Army soldiers were pouring into the city from the gap. The enemy was obviously confused by this sudden change, and the resistance they had been rushing to organize was not strong.

Meng Jiucheng let out a long breath. Although he had conducted secret experiments before, it was the first time he was used in actual combat, and it was normal to feel shocked.

For city wall blasting, the most effective thing at present is to dig tunnels and fill in gunpowder. Before the invention of the new explosives, Meng Jiucheng had insufficient confidence in external blasting. It was OK to blow up the city gate, but it obviously had limited effect on the thick city wall.

The tunnel was dug to the base of the city wall, and a square hole was taken out, and a box of gunpowder was filled, and a bamboo pole was used to draw out the fuse, and the tunnel was closed, which was ignited and detonated.

It is well-behaved, without any innovation and transformation, and it does not require any ingenuity. It is more than enough to deal with most city walls today.

Of course, Meng Jiucheng also knew that no one except himself had learned physics, and he had no idea about the principles of gunpowder explosion and how to increase the power of the explosion. He had no time to popularize scientific knowledge, so he could only temporarily indoctrinate. This would make his subordinates know the truth but not the reason.

Without a basic discipline and the popularization of scientific principles, we can only maintain this way first. Moreover, to form a systematic education with a complete range of categories, it is best to start with the baby. This is not a work that can be completed in a few years or more.

With the reins and control of the horse, Meng Jiucheng came to the engineer team and praised: "Yes, you guys did a good job." This is almost a habit of him. For an emerging team, encouragement can inspire people's enthusiasm.
