The night is as bright as water.

The light of the flames under Xicheng was gradually weakening.

The Tatar engineers had already covered the soil to half of the waist of the volcano, and people were constantly smashed to death. Their bodies were immediately piled up by the living, laying the foundation for the siege road.

The blood blew the dry soil through, gathered into a stream under the pile of corpses, flowing into the moat, and together with the headless corpses of war horses, emitting a fishy smell soaring into the sky.

Although the city wall of Datong is as high as six feet and seven feet high, it is half covered by the huge pile of burning corpses. Once the fire on it is extinguished, the Tartars can cross the moat and attack the waist of the city wall along the horse corpse bridge. It is as easy as climbing a tile house, and the number of people will be revealed immediately. The situation will be quite unfavorable to the defenders. General Yan calmly observed the battle situation, and his heart was worried.

Chen Shengyi leaned behind the battlements to avoid arrows, wrapped the right hand with a bandage wrapped around his right hand that had been grinding out of the blood blister, and placed the golden knife beside his legs, ready to try his best at any time.

Chang Sihao saw this scene with a fire, thinking that this big killing in the daytime took several hours, and it could actually make an old swordsman like Brother Chen sharpen his hands, let alone others.

He looked at the tired faces of the soldiers guarding the city, worried, and secretly thought that the 70,000 Tartars troops took turns to fight and rested. Even if they stretched their heads to get chopped, they would exhaust people to death, let alone fight to the death. The people who were fighting in the daytime were still fighting hard. If the enemy went on the road to the corpse pile, it would be difficult to resist. Now that the fuel has been exhausted, there are several cooking pots in the city, which can be made of some strong wine, but the time for the wine burning is limited, and the enemy can also be filled with soil and put out by the enemy... Can the pile of corpse piles be destroyed? After thinking about it, a flash of inspiration suddenly came up with a solution, but they dared not use it, so they rushed to the Arrow Tower to ask for instructions.

After listening to his words, General Yan brigade said, "Good solution! You can use it."

Chang Sihao still had concerns: "I'm afraid that the city wall will be damaged, and the Tartars will take advantage."

General Yan thought for a moment, patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Chang, the situation is critical, you can't think too much. I believe you, let it go! I will take it! I will take it!" Chang Sihao nodded, turned around and went downstairs, and called a group of people to go to the city to dig a house nearby. Soon after, the beam was removed and carried back. He ordered the artillery soldiers to concentrate the gunpowder to make and process it as required. He pulled out the Thunder Knife himself, sharpened one end of the beam, cut out the groove on the other end, and tied a cable as thick as a arm.

Shortly after this, the artillery commander brought two gunners to carry a columnar object. This thing is about two bowls in thickness, about seven feet long, wrapped tightly with soft armor, tied with bamboo strips outside, leaving a gunpowder twist about a foot long at the end. One of the gunners looked quite old and said a little tremblingly: "Young swordsman, such a large dose of medicine is not a joke. Do you really want to use it?" The artillery commander also said: "I used the amount of medicine that took two hundred shells to make this one!"

Chang Sihao raised his broad sword eyebrows, and his eyes were cold: "There is no other trick, the arrow is on the string, just fight it!" He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The soldiers raised the sharpened beam of the house up the city and placed it on the squadron. According to his request, the pointed tip was aimed at the top of the pile of corpses.

Chang Sihao shouted: "Let me go!"

"Wu——"

The big beam was hanging from the mouth of the small well and the sound of the wind flew straight under the city. With a grunt, it pierced into the pile of corpses that were still burning at the top. The beam was still burning at 170 to 8 feet. Chang Sihao shouted, "Let it!" The soldiers pulled the cable with all their strength and pulled the beam up. A black hole was immediately exposed on the pile of corpses. Black and red blood foam and minced meat dripping drip down at the tip of the beam. Half of it was pulled up, Chang Sihao shouted again: "Let it go!" The beam was pierced again, deeply inserted into the blood, and the cable didn't go in a large part. The Tartars who dug soil and dug mud under the bottom looked up at the top of the pile of corpses. I wonder what the Ming army had done. If such a big rolling wood was not thrown down and smashed us, why did the pile of corpses be smashed? Do these dead horses know that it hurt? Several centurions cursed behind them, and the engineers bowed their heads and worked hard.

Chen Shengyi had guessed Chang Sihao's intention and showed a happy and approving smile on his face.

At this moment, the city was still shooting at the same time. In order to cover Chang Sihao's actions, General Yan sent additional archers.

Altan watched from a distance, although he was puzzled, he also expected that the enemy's move would be detrimental to his side. With a wave of his hand, the six thousand cavalry archers on the right wing were swept out like the wind and rushed towards the edge of the city.

Chang Sihao ordered the release again, and it was probably almost done. He asked the sergeant to pull the bloody beam up to the top of the city, waved his hand to greet the two gunners and lifted the gunpowder cartridge tied into columns with bamboo strips. One of them asked, "What should I do?"

Chang Sihao was happy and said, "Do you still need to ask? I lit it and threw it into the hole!"

"Hey, hey." The old gunner agreed tremblingly, thinking about what effect it was. Just do it, come on! I lit the medicine twist with the torch, and the fire line burned quickly. The two stood forward and backward, lowered the front, raised the back, aimed the gunpowder cartridge at the bloody hole on the pile of corpses, and threw it straight-

All the rest of the world understood Chang Sihao's intention, and showed joy on his face. He thought that the pile of corpses would be blown up and flat. If the dog Tartars still wanted to use the pile of corpses to attack the city, then kill thousands of war horses and kill hundreds of thousands of people!

"Pu"

The smiles on the faces of the people on the city wall suddenly solidified.

The explosives were thrown slightly off and fell right next to the entrance of the cave!

The artillery commander was almost furious, and pulled the old gunner's collar and gritted his teeth and shouted: "You old bastard! You are blind, you--"

The top of the pile of oil-splashed corpse was still burning, and the flames were as high as one person. The explosive twist was ignited quickly, leaving a small piece of palm. The outer skin of the gunpowder cartridge was on fire. If it exploded here, not only could this half of the city wall not be kept, but the soldiers on the city would also die!

There was no room for a moment, and a figure flew and jumped down!

"Xiao Hao!"

Chen Shengyi ignored the rain of arrows flying from the city, and his hands snatched the butts and his eyes were about to break.

Chang Sihao's toes were stained with the pile of corpses, he reached out and grabbed the gunpowder cartridge and quickly stuffed it into the hole. He twisted his body, rubbed it with a "rubbed" sound, and pulled the onions onions on the dry land and shot up!

Because of oil stains under his feet, his boots and his trouser legs immediately caught fire, making his whole body look like a rocket soaring into the sky, and like Nezha descending to earth.

Everyone was stunned on the city and below.

Even the Tartars saber pulled the bowstrings in vain and forgot to lay the arrows!

When Chang Sihao got up, he had reached the limit of rising when he was 1,600 feet tall, but he was still two feet away from the city wall!

He quickly rushed to the city wall with one foot, trying to step on the bricks and take advantage of the force, but his feet slipped, and he realized that when he stepped on the pile of corpses just now, his feet were covered with oil!

I couldn't take advantage of the power at once, my body was slightly sinking and I had no support in the air. Chang Sihao knew it was over! His arms spread out and fell downwards-

The water suddenly lit up!

"boom--"

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked with a loud noise, the gunpowder cartridge exploded, and the sky was flying corpses. The moat water poured into big waves. The entire Datong City buzzed. General Yan, who was commanding the overall battle in the Archery Tower, also stood steadily, staggering, holding the window frame tightly with both hands.
Chapter completed!
