Chapter 283 I ordered a firecracker
The gate of Xingyang City was opened, and the clatter of horseshoes and shouts of killing sounded, and a large army of horses poured into the city from the south gate.

Looking down from the top of the city, a long dragon holding a torch is continuously pouring into the city from the gate.

In the dark night, Xingyang City, which was originally calm and dark, was in an uproar as if it had been poured with a spoonful of boiling molten iron.

Looking down from the sky, the pitch-black city was illuminated by torches and lights from south to north in turn.

More than a thousand Tartars in the city were shocked when they found enemy soldiers approaching the city. They couldn't believe it. Xingyang was in the northwest of Zhengzhou. How did Qibeile of Zhengzhou let the enemy soldiers come here?
The Tartars didn't have time to think about it, so under the leadership of Jia Laerzhen, they counterattacked the south city with a torch, but found that more and more enemy soldiers entered the city. They didn't take back the south gate, but were driven to the county Yamen and warehouses are nearby.

The fierce battle in the city lasted less than half an hour, and the Tartars knew that the situation was over, so they fled from the other three gates one after another.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan reined in the horse on the street, flanked by high-ranking soldiers holding torches, the flickering flames shone on everyone's faces, creating a tense and chilling atmosphere.

At this time, except for the sporadic Tartars in the city who were still resisting, the rest of the Tartars were either killed or fled.

Jin Shenghuan was stationed in front of the Xingyang County Yamen, and fierce competition broke out here just now, but Gao Jun, relying on the superiority in numbers, had already killed all the Tartars in the county Yamen.

The streets were full of corpses, and the walls were also stained with blood. Many soldiers were stripping off the armor of the Tartars, beheading the Tartars, and cleaning up the corpses of their companions.

Jin Shenghuan looked at it, and immediately ordered, "Some people continue to clean up, and the rest set fire to the grain depot. In addition, find the red cannon of the Tartars and blow it up!"

"General, is the whole city burned? What about the people in the city?" Dai Jinghong couldn't help asking, "Don't you take any food away?"

"Burn, drive the people out of the city and let them run for their own lives!" Jin Shenghuan said firmly: "No food is allowed to be kept, all of it is destroyed! The army must withdraw before dawn."

Dai Jinghong couldn't bear it in his heart. You, a Shaanxi guy, don't feel sorry for our Henan fellows at all, but he still clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I take orders from a humble job!"

After finishing speaking, he drew his sword and shouted loudly, "Jiaqian bureaus, follow me!"

Hundreds of soldiers drew out their sabers, and the light of the sabers shone coldly under the reflection of the torches on both sides. The soldiers quickly left the county office with a saber in one hand and a torch in the other.

As soon as Dai Jinghong left, Jin Shenghuan immediately said: "Burn the body of the brother who died in battle immediately!"

The soldiers in the city lit fires everywhere, and in an instant, the fire spread, turning half of the sky red.

Among them, the fire in the grain depot was as high as three feet, which was very regrettable.

Jin Shenghuan stood in an open area holding the handle of his knife. His mission had been completed, and he began to command the soldiers to withdraw from Xingyang.

At this time, Dai Jinghong came to report, "General, we found the Tartar's red cannon."

"Go! Take me there to have a look!" Jin Shenghuan waved his hand, and Dai Jinghong led him outside a warehouse.

More than [-] Hongyi cannons were lying on the cannon carts. The soldiers were carrying barrels of gunpowder from a warehouse and piled them under the cannons.

Looking at the black and thick cannon body, the Tartar's cannon is actually one size bigger than the one made by Gao Jun.

This made Jin Shenghuan a little surprised. With this batch of cannons, not to mention Hulao Pass, even Tong Pass would probably be blown down by the Tartars.

"Be careful with the torch, stand farther away!" Jin Shenghuan saw that the medicine barrels piled up like a hill, just looking at it was a little scary, so he reminded aloud.

Then he turned his head and ordered, "Don't set fire in these four weeks, lest sparks fall into it!"

"Don't worry, general, I have already explained. The nearby soldiers and civilians have also been evacuated!" Dai Jinghong clasped his fists.

The soldiers were busy for a while, and in a short time, they filled more than 20 cannons with gunpowder, then sprinkled gunpowder to connect them, and made a long wire for priming.

"Let the brothers evacuate as soon as possible, don't stay in the west city!" With so many explosives, the power of the explosion may be immeasurable, Jin Shenghuan saw that he had finished, and said while walking away.

At this time, all the busy soldiers retreated, and only one soldier was holding a pile of gunpowder, and poured it as he walked until the gunpowder was exhausted.

Because there was too much gunpowder, the lead wire was very long, and the group almost retreated to Nancheng.

Jin Shenghuan and others were waiting outside, when he saw the soldiers coming out of the alley holding the medicine pot, he immediately said to the soldiers beside him, "Give me the torch!"

He took the torch and walked to the leader of the priming medicine.

This firecracker should be ordered by him.

The power of the gunpowder explosion must be heard from a hundred miles away, and he could not let go of this opportunity to show his face.

Blowing up the Tartars' twenty red barbarian cannons at once, destroying the plans of the Tartars to attack Hulao Pass and even Tongguan, this matter will become his important qualifications and will also become his future talk.

With some excitement on Jin Shenghuan's face, he leaned the torch on the priming powder, and the gunpowder immediately flashed sparks and emitted white smoke, rushing in quickly, Jin Shenghuan quickly dropped the torch, turned around and ran back quickly.

As soon as he came back, there was an earth-shattering loud noise from behind him. Everyone only heard a "boom", and then saw a huge ball of flames appearing in the middle of the west city, billowing white smoke.

Twenty cannons were blown directly into the sky, and then plunged down, half of the cannon barrels were inserted into the ground. The nearby wooden houses were suddenly blown by the air waves, and they all collapsed in an instant.

Jin Shenghuan, Dai Jinghong and the others swayed and almost fell to the ground, their faces turned pale with fright, and they covered their ears one after another.

Just this explosion, I am afraid that it can catch up with the big explosion in Beijing that year.

In the Qing army camp sixty miles away, Duduo was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a loud noise, and then the ground trembled slightly, causing him to sit up from the bed suddenly.

He was frowning slightly, with doubts on his face, when a member of the staff opened the curtain and came in, he said in a panic: "My lord, something may have happened in Xingyang."

Duoduo was shocked when he heard the words, he lost all sleepiness for a moment, got off the bed suddenly, and hurried towards the general, his face was full of ferociousness, he dared not answer: "What did you say?"

At this time, thousands of soldiers were in an uproar on the wall of Hulaoguan, and they flocked to the edge of the wall, looking southeast.

They also vaguely heard an explosion just now, and now they are looking in the direction of Xingyang, with bursts of red light shining.

"Jie Shuai, what's going on?" Bai Wang hurried up from the bottom of the city.

Li Yan pointed to the distance, "Look!"

Bai Wang looked at it and was suddenly startled, "It's Xingyang!"

Li Yan's heart, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, "The explosion just now, coupled with the fire, Xingyang Duoban was attacked by surprise and fell."

"Who did it?" Bai Wang asked reflexively, but he immediately realized that besides the man from Henan, who else?
Li Yan couldn't hide the look of relief on his face, and said with a smile: "Of course it's Yihuan, he didn't disappoint me!"

Bai Wang groaned slightly, then nodded, and let out a heavy breath, "Yi Huan, stand up for justice!"
