Chapter 820

Outside Jinan City, Qing army green camp soldiers cut down wood and prepared to set up camp. Duoduo shouted as if he suddenly remembered something: "Please dig deeper the trenches outside the camp, at least one foot deep!"

"Prince, why is this?" Liu Liangzuo asked.

The one who works is Liu Liangzuo's soldiers. As long as Duoduo talks, the Green Camp soldiers will become tired.

Duoduo said: "Li Lao Er is full of tricks. I am afraid that he will dig a tunnel under my camp and then pile up gunpowder and detonate it. Last time the 14th brother suffered a great loss in Julu!"

Thinking of the Battle of Julu, Dorgon's defeat was too miserable, and tens of thousands of elite Qing warriors were lost to Julu. After Dorgon's defeat, Yue Tuo, who besieged Jinan, was also killed by Li Guodong. Duoduo learned this lesson and was naturally cautious everywhere.

After the Qing army in the Green Camp dug the trench, Duoduo ordered the placement of a group of half-buried water tanks in the camp, and selected a group of soldiers with good hearing, specifically responsible for the listening water tanks.

"Li Laoer is good at crypt attacks. We made a water tank. If Minggou digs the tunnel, we will find it." Duoduo said.

"The prince is wise!" A group of Qing army generals sang praises to Duoduo.

But Duoduo didn't know that Li Guodong still used the method of attacking the Qing army this time.

Outside the Dewang Mansion in Jinan City, a large ginkgo tree with dense branches and leaves was more than ten feet tall and ten feet thick. A figure in the same color as dead branches quietly emerged from the tree hole, hiding in the bushes, observing the movements in the city.

After a while, the man drilled into the tree hole. The tree hole connected to the ground. The man climbed down from the tree hole, and there was an authentic tunnel below.

The crisscrossing tunnels had been dug in advance in Jinan City. Li Guodong cleverly set up the tunnel entrance, and set up the tunnel entrances on dead trees, underground water wells, in the wall mezzanines, under the millstones, and in the stove. The tunnel entrance on the big ginkgo tree just now belongs to the observation point and is used to detect movements in the city.

Ye Bucheng crawled into the tunnel. More than 300 Ming soldiers were ambushed under this tunnel, preparing to crawl out of the tunnel at night and set fire in Jinan City.

"General, the Eight Banners soldiers of Jiannu have not entered the city." Ye Bushou reported to Shi Yong, the officer in charge of setting fire.

"Duoduo is very tricky. It seems that he will not go into the city anymore. We will do it when it gets dark. We can't kill the real slaves. It's okay to burn those fake slaves outside to death." Shi Yong said.

It was late at night, and the Ming army lying in the tunnel came out from various tunnel entrances. Each Ming army carried a can of tinder oil, a group of ten Ming army, and Shi Chang carried a can of tinder. More than 300 Ming army were scattered in various parts of the city. At this time, most of the more than 10,000 green camp soldiers who were first slept by Duoduo as cannon fodder.

The Ming army poured turbulent oil on the house, then lit the torches, and then lit the houses that had been poured on the turbulent oil.

It was the cold winter month, and the northwest wind was blowing. The Ming army began to set fire from the northwest corner of Jinan City. After dozens of houses were ignited, the wind helped the fire and soon spread to the whole city.

"It's gone! It's gone!" The sleeping green camp soldiers woke up and found that they were surrounded by fire, and fires were lit in all directions.

"Run out!" The Green Camp officer shouted anxiously.

More than a dozen green camp soldiers in the house were wrapped in wet quilts and rushed out desperately. Five people rushed out. When the sixth man tried to rush out of the sea of ​​fire, a burning roof beam fell down, pressing the green camp soldiers underneath. The remaining green camp soldiers had no time to rush out, and the burning roof beam collapsed, burying all of these green camp soldiers in the house.

In the yard where the fire broke out, the Green Camp soldiers who were burning to cry and crying for their parents rushed out, but it was not safe to rush to the street. The whole city of Jinan had already burned into a sea of ​​fire, filled with smoke, and the air was filled with poisonous gas. Some Green Camp soldiers were running and fell to the ground by the poisonous smoke and could never get up again.

Green camp soldiers were everywhere in the city, crying and roaring in the thick smoke. Some people were panicked and crawled into the sea of ​​fire, and were swallowed by the fire in a blink of an eye; some were smoked down, and some people's clothes were all ignited. In the raging fire, countless soldiers were killed and injured.

"Prince! Prince!" Duoduo was awakened by a Goshha in his sleep, "Jinan City, a fire broke out in Jinan City!"

Duoduo quickly got up, walked out of the central army's tent, and climbed up a watchtower. He saw a red light in the sky in the direction of Jinan City. You could see the flames in Jinan City soaring into the sky, and the smoke dyed pink by the fire rose into the air. A cry came from the city.

"It's so dangerous, fortunately the prince is wise!" Kong Youde, who climbed the watchtower, said with lingering fear, "If all our troops enter the city, I don't know how many brothers will be killed or injured at this time."

"Hmph!" Duoduo snorted, "Li Laoer was cruel and ruthless. Our army was holding Nikan to attack the city. He could fire guns and guns at Nikan without mercy, regardless of Nikan's life or death! Only he could do this kind of thing!"

"The prince is wise, and he knows that I know his opponent will never be defeated!" Kong Youde quickly patted a horse.

Duoduo laughed: "Li Lao Er, you replayed the Fire of the Three Kingdoms Xinye. I originally wanted to deal with this king, but I was not fooled by you. I threw 10,000 green camps for you to burn. When you get old, I will watch our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers perform!"

More than 10,000 Green Camp soldiers ran away, and less than half of them left the city. Each of the Green Camp soldiers who escaped from the city had their clothes burned, their faces were covered in gray, and there were many burns on their bodies, and they were in a mess. Some Green Camp soldiers rushed outside the city, and the green camp soldiers who were soaked in pain by fireworks were dry mouth and jumped into the moat regardless of everything. As a result, they were soaked in the cold river water, and they were furious. Some people fell in the moat on the spot and could never get up again. After the people who climbed up returned, they had a high fever and died in pain soon after.

In the Phoenix Mountain Castle, Li Yan received the news and said regretfully: "What a pity! None of the real slaves entered the city, so they could escape! Such a trick can only be used once, and there will never be such a chance again."

"Li Futai became extremely cautious because Jiannu suffered a great loss from the Duke of Chu many times." said an officer.

Li Yan shook his fan: "This clever plan failed to work, so let us prepare for the battle and let Jiannu run blood in front of our fortress."

The sky gradually became brighter. Looking down from the mountain, I saw that the entire Jinan City had been burned into ruins. The fire in some places had not yet been extinguished. The huge palace of De Wang was still rushing into the sky.

"As soon as this fire is burned, Jinan City will be destroyed. It would be fine if Jiannu can be annihilated, but unfortunately only a group of fake slaves have been burned to death." Li Yan sighed.

The Green Camp soldiers were not valuable at all. The Qing army could quickly replenish the number of deaths. As long as the Eight Banners were not eliminated, the Qing army would not be able to be damaged.

Two days later, the Qing army launched an attack on the military fort where Li Yan was located.

The Qing army used red barbarian cannons to bombard the military fort, but after bombing for a long time, they found that they could not hit the castle at all.

The sturdy castle was built with iron bars and cement concrete. Even if the shells of thirty-two-pound giant cannons were bombed, a crack would appear at most. The shells fired by the six-pound and twelve-pound red artillery in the Qing army hit, leaving only a white mark on the walls of the castle.

When he found that the castle could not be hit, Duoduo had to order to fill it with human life. Anyway, the Green Camp soldiers were not worth much, so they would not feel sorry for even if they died.
