Chapter 54 Demolition Bombing Camp

The Jin army camp was stationed at the south side of the castle, facing the only gate of the castle. The Jin soldiers only care whether the horse thieves in the city would come out from the front to attack them. However, Dorji, Sonom and others didn't know that there was a secret door to the north of the castle that no one knew.

The secret door is very cleverly set up. It is a stone door, which is still hidden in the trench. After leaving the stone door, the people in the city enter the trench and can go up the slope to the ground.

In the castle, more than 1,300 horses and thieves were ready to attack. For Li Lao Er, horses were not a problem. He had more than 1,000 war horses, but only armor was lacking. At night, attacked with less and defeated the more. He adopted the method of using hot and cold weapons. In addition to carrying more than 100 poles and three-eyed guns that had been loaded with ammunition, three hundred cavalrymen carried gunpowder tanks, and the turbulent tanks were tied with ropes. They were lit during the attack, waving like a meteor hammer, flying out with centrifugal force, which could be used to kill the enemy in large quantities.

In order to break through the gate of the enemy camp, Li Laoer adopted the method of tying a fire cow to trench the door. There were two cows in the castle that were exchanged for the Chahar Mongols. The two cows had thick quilts on their bodies, which could avoid being shot by the arrows of the Jin soldiers. The tail of the cow was tied to a cotton cloth soaked in pinewood oil. The two cows were connected together with two cross bars, and a box filled with gunpowder in the middle, and there were long iron nails raised at the front of the box.

Li Laoer's team also carried twenty temporary small counterweight catapults, which could launch gunpowder tanks and turbulent oil tanks, which were used to shoot turbulent oil tanks and gunpowder tanks into the camp outside the Jin army camp, and use fire to break through the camp.

The time for attack is selected at Mao hour. This time in winter is the darkest moment before dawn and the most sleepy time for people. After a night of intense duty, the sentry is exhausted to the limit. Seeing that the sky is about to be bright, wouldn’t the other party come to the camp to expose it to the light? So at this time, the sentry’s nerves are tense all night and it will be easy to relax.

One thousand three hundred horse thieves, one thousand of whom were cavalrymen, carrying three-eyed guns, scimitars, tiger-toothed knives, tiger spears, cavalry and spears and other weapons. The other three hundred were infantrymen, carrying catapults, carrying wooden boards and trench bridges, carrying gunpowder boxes, gunpowder tanks, and turret tanks.

The army left the castle from the secret door facing the Jin army camp, entered the trench, and then climbed to the ground.

At the third hour of the Yin hour, Li Laoer and a thousand cavalrymen were holding each other, and their horses were wrapped in cotton cloth. With the protection of the night, they walked around the castle and quietly appeared outside the Jin army camp.

Zhang Wei, with three hundred squadrons and two fire cattle, quietly approached the Jin army camp under the cover of night. One hundred and fifty infantry set up trenchers a hundred steps away and prepared the fire cattle. Another hundred and fifty people approached the camp under Han Dashan.

"Prepare to start!" Li Laoer passed by Zhang Wei and pointed to the Jin army camp in his hand.

Zhang Wei and the infantry lit the cotton cloth of the oxtail and whipped the cow's butt again. The two cows were in pain, and the fire was burning with raging fire. The crazy cow spread its four hooves and ran towards the gate of the Jin army camp.

Aren't there trenches and suspension bridges outside the Jin army camp? It doesn't matter. One hundred and fifty infantry from Han Dashan had arrived at the periphery of the Jin army camp. Several feather arrows shot up the tower. The Ming army surrendered soldiers standing on top were dozing off, and were shot through the throat by arrows and fell from the tower.

The killed sentry landed, and the noise made alarmed the Mongolians and Ming army surrendered sentries in the camp.

"Enemy attack!" The sentry leaning against the wooden wall woke up from a half-awake state and shouted loudly.

The wooden suspension bridge outside the camp gate was smashed by the gunpowder tank thrown by Han Dashan, and turned into a pile of wooden boards and fell into the trench. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen horse thieves stepped forward, laying the trench bridge and wooden boards on the trench, and then quickly left.

At the same time, twenty fireballs flew from a hundred steps away with whistling sounds and fell into the Jin army camp. Only a series of violent explosions were heard, and the tents in the Jin army camp ignited raging fire one after another.

The fire bull carrying the gunpowder box rushed across the trench bridge, and the long nail in front of the gunpowder box pierced into the wooden village door.

Han Dashan held a gunpowder jar that lit the fuse in his hand. He waved it like a meteor hammer and threw it hard, just hitting it on the gunpowder box. He and his soldiers immediately fell down.

"Boom" I heard a loud noise, and the wooden village gate was immediately blown to pieces.

Then there were several violent explosions, and several wooden walls in the Jin army camp were also blasted and opened by the infantry under Han Dashan in gunpowder boxes. Then more than 100 infantrymen laid the trench bridge and wooden boards on the trench and laid a passage.

The Jin soldiers placed the horses to defend against were also blown into pieces of wood by the soldiers, and the infantry opened a passage for attack for the cavalry behind them.

"Kill!" Han Dashan roared, waved his long-handled axe, and was the first to rush into the Jin army camp.

Several Mongolian soldiers and Ming army surrendered soldiers who had just woken up from their sleepiness rushed up and appeared in the blasted gap.

"Die!" Han Dashan waved the giant axe horizontally in his hand, and two Mongolian soldiers and spears were chopped into two pieces. The infantry following behind shouted and rushed into the enemy camp. The gunpowder tanks and turbulent oil tanks in their hands were smashed out. The tents and piles of forage immediately ignited a raging fire. Many Mongolians and Ming army surrendered soldiers who had no time to put on their armor hurried out from the tent, unable to organize effective resistance at all, and were all cut over by Han Dashan and his comrades.

Li Laoer, with a thousand cavalry, poured into the Jin army camp from the exploded gap like a torrent of steel.

The three hundred cavalry rushing in front swung the gunpowder tank that ignited the fuse like a meteor hammer. After turning a few circles, they threw out the gunpowder tank.

"Boom boom boom" A series of explosions sounded in the camp, and tents turned into pieces in the sky fire. The violent explosion sounded mixed with a scream, and the broken limbs flew into the sky with a fog of blood.

"Bang bang bang" The hundred cavalry rushing in front ignited the three-eyed guns, and their tongues spit out. The Mongolian soldiers who rushed out of the tent were beaten into hornet's nests in no different ways, and their bodies were twisted and deformed and fell down.

The explosion outside the camp just as soon as Dorji, Sonom and others woke up from their sleep. Hearing the deafening explosion, Dorji asked the Mongolian soldiers who were watching from the central army's large tent: "What happened outside?"

"Sir, it seems that Ming Gou is coming to steal the camp!" the sentry replied.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Minggou is here to rob the camp!"

There were shouts from outside, and both the Mongolians and the Ming army surrendered soldiers rushed out of the camp in disarray. Not to mention that the armor was not complete, many people could not even find weapons. Before the frightened Mongolians and the Ming army surrendered soldiers could react, they heard a thunderous sound of horse hooves and the war horses collided towards them.
