"That's natural. Prince Yu has been in battle for a long time after all." Dorgon had a smile on his face.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the two white flags should have already invaded Shanyang City by now, right?"

Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, I, and Fan Wencheng were relieved when they heard this. If the regent dared to say this, the matter planned by Prince Yu must be very certain.

…

In Shanyang City, the demolition of Xianglan Banner has reached a fever pitch.

Relying on the protection of the superimposed shields and the vaults on the roofs of the two carriages, more than two thousand wrappers with blue flags were divided into eight parts and spread out against the eight turrets of the east and west cities of Shanyang.

Crazy digging and demolition.

Although they suffered a brutal fire attack just three days ago, these coats were not intimidated.

Or maybe they were frightened, but their masters were guarding behind with swords and swords, so they had no choice but to break down the city wall desperately.

Under the shield, the coatmen were sweating profusely.

Pieces of city bricks were pried off with iron drills.

There were also handfuls of rammed earth that were shoveled down.

Large gaps have been dug out in all eight corner towers.

If the demolition continues at this rate, in ten days at most, at least four corner towers will be dug down until they collapse, and it is even possible that eight corner towers will be dug up and collapsed at the same time.

Xiang Yong on the top of the city had realized the danger and tried his best to stop it.

However, in the face of the coating with the double protection of the cart and the wooden sign, it is useless to rely on gold juice, lime or even ten thousand enemies. The only thing that can be counted on is fire oil.

[Note: Menghuo oil mostly refers to petroleum, and the mining technology was relatively mature by the mid-Ming Dynasty]

[However, the Menghuo oil in the book is not petroleum, but vegetable oils such as tung oil, camellia oil, and vegetable oil, as well as animal fats such as lard and sheep oil. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the oil pressing industry in Jiangnan was already quite large]

Pot after pot of scalding hot oil poured down from the top of the city.

The heavy fire oil scalding will not burn the coating underneath, but there is still fire attack.

As the torch fell, the wooden signs and even the carts underneath were ignited, and were quickly swallowed up by the flames. Many of the people hiding under the carts had no time to escape and were directly buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Nearly half of the sixty-odd carts gathered under the eight corner towers were burned.

However, the Ming army's Xiang Yong on top of the city also paid a heavy price.

Because in addition to sending out soldiers to demolish it, Xianglan Banner also built earthen platforms on the left and right sides of the eight turrets. Although these earthen platforms were not built as high as the city head, they were still three feet high.

Therefore, the lethality of the big bow is immediately increased.

Whether the warriors at the top of the city were transporting materials or equipment or pouring fire oil, they had to pay the price in blood.

What's even more troublesome is that Jiannu will also shoot rockets at the top of Shanyang City. Once the rocket falls into the oil pan, the entire city will be turned into a sea of ​​fire in an instant. Instead of burning Jiannu, he will burn his own people.

In short, the Battle of Shanyang has entered the most brutal stalemate.

Seeing that the carriage with the blue flag was burned for another thirty taels, He Luohui couldn't help but feel a little gloating about his misfortune.

"Master, Xianglan Banner will be in a terrible situation this time." He Luohui said with a sinister smile, "Not only were three Niulu flag men killed in the battle, but the carriages were also almost completely lost. When we return to Beijing, Jierha

Lang, this old dog, could probably skin Tunqi. What's even worse is that Xianglan Qi paid such a high price, but he only made wedding clothes for our two white flags, hehe."

"Shut up! Don't talk sarcastically here." Duduo scolded He Luohui, and then said, "Have you completed all the things I asked you to do?"

[Nothing to do during the National Day, so I will work hard to code and continue to beg for monthly tickets]
