At night, he was flipping through the casualties report on the day in the big tent. Zhao Kuo's face was expressionless, and the casualties were completely expected.

Shaozhou City was Gu, and the Qing soldiers did not flee, but instead defended the city to fight. It was completely normal for so many casualties on the first day.

After leaving the document, Zhao Kuo stood up in his clothes, called Xiao Dingzi, and said, "Follow me to see what's going on."

Zhao Kuo never thought of fighting to the death to climb the city!

Compared with the enemy's troops, this is manly enough, but that's an idiot!

He had a long way to deal with Shaozhou. He went to the city to fight to the death to death just to cover up his real attack intention.

What I really rely on is the siege weapon of the barbarians in this era of the Far East: siege in the cave.

In layman's terms, it means digging a tunnel to reach the city wall and using a series of techniques to make the city wall collapse. As long as the city wall collapses, any city may be broken.

This method of trapping the city has been around the world since ancient times. In ancient times, gunpowder was not used on a large scale. It was adopted by the wooden stake method - digging tunnels directly to the opponent's city wall, and using wooden stakes along the way to support the tunnel. However, once the tunnel is completed, the supporting wooden stakes of the tunnel will be burned. The tunnel will naturally collapse, and the city wall above will be finished.

In this era, although there are no huge city-breaking cannons, the times are developing after all, and there is no need for the city-burning method, and gunpowder has replaced wooden stakes.

The God-worshiping Cult was originally developed in Guangxi's mine disciples. Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui were all born into mine disciples! Therefore, the Taiping Army's ability to dig tunnels is unparalleled, and they are familiar with gunpowder. In history, they have developed this tactic to the extreme. They have repeatedly used tunnels to break under the city walls and used gunpowder to blow down the city walls.

When Zhao Kuo came this time, the team was accompanied by miners. This group of people received great respect in the Taiping Army because of their professional technical level and extremely important role in siege.

So when Zhao Kuo was in Yizhang, he ordered all the spies under Zhu Qingzheng to pay attention to the conditions of the residential buildings around Shaozhou City. After arriving at the city, Zhao Kuo snorted with confidence: I have decided to take this city.

In fact, when I first came here, Zhao Kuo was also surprised that these cities are different from the movies I had seen in my previous life.

Ancient siege wars were described in numerous war films, but the real situation was completely different from the ones in the movie.

Moats are not common. Most cities are flat outside, but they are definitely not shown in movies. A city eats, drinks, defecations, and sleeps all in four circles surrounded by city walls, and there are large wasteland outside.

The above situation only occurs in chaotic times when wars are raging, and the Qing Dynasty has not experienced a large-scale war for almost 200 years.

People are smart animals. If you think about it, you will know that a city is the commercial and trade administrative center of any region, a golden land, and a blessed land inside, but outside the city wall is also the closest place to the blessed land, not? No one will waste the land closest to this golden land.

In fact, outside all the cities in the Qing Dynasty, radiating along the city gate and walls, there were large areas of houses outside the city walls.

Just like the city center and development zone in later generations.

Of course, people living outside the city have much lower social status than those in the city, and they are all slums living in the city.

However, in the late Qing Dynasty, such residential houses outside the city became the best position for the Taiping Army to siege the city.

Those who come to white can use the terrain to set firearms on the city, and the roof can be used to reduce the distance to climb the city; those who come to black can sneak into the houses that are very close to the city wall at night and dig out the tunnels directly.

The latter is extremely fatal.

But later, the Qing generals also found a countermeasure to fight against the siege:

First, all the houses near the city wall must be burned to prevent the Taiping Army from hiding any hidden things or digging tunnels. You can’t dig into the city wall from your own camp, right? That’s not digging tunnels to siege the city, that’s building a subway!

Second, the key points in the city are to dig open the crypt and put it in a large tank, so that the blind people with a sensitive hearing can sit in and explore the movements underground;

Third, if you find that the Taiping Army is digging tunnels, you will use methods such as digging tunnels to smoke and pour shit and urine into it, and even river water to force you to retreat to the enemy tunnels.

But Zhao Kuo was not worried about these Qing Dynasty methods of fighting against the Taiping Army's attack, because they had not been invented or popularized at all!

Any war experience is extremely precious, and it is piled up with corpses and flesh.

However, Zhao Kuo could easily draw a summary of the Taiping Army and the Qing Dynasty war technology from the future, but what about this time?

The Qing Dynasty and the main force of the Taiping Army fought fiercely in Changsha. The blind man's tunnel detection technology appeared for the first time in this battle. What about burning the blank walls of the houses? Waiting for a few years to dig tunnels. At that time, the old farmer Hong Xiuquan had already slept in the dragon bed in Nanjing.

"Hmph, when you finish fighting, the cucumber and vegetable will be cold." Zhao Kuo sneered. With his historical research level, he ordered the authentic soldiers to use far less than the cave. His cave and the tactics of siege were also varied. It was almost the most perfect siege strategy summary that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could use from the rise of the army to the future.

These summary was summarized by the Qing Dynasty, Taiping Army and even countless talented people from later generations after meditating for countless days and nights. He could use it. This was not an extremely dangerous backlash for civilization that he could not cope with, but the simplest technical attack.

"One move will be eaten all over the world!" Zhao Kuo looked at the authentic progress and laughed loudly, thinking to himself: "I am not simple, but the freshest! Even if it is more than ten years later, it is the freshest!"

"It's clear." He raised his head and looked up at the full moon above his head. Tong'an, the "No. 1 General" of Shaozhou, wiped the small puddle that was about to dry under the shadow of the eaves with his toes. He was carrying his hands with his long and elegant braids, but he sighed with his loneliness.

In fact, it stopped the rain a day ago, but this person seemed to die and didn't want the rain to stop.

Is this person a literati and poet who likes rain?

But if you think so, you are very wrong and your positioning is wrong.

As a "famous general of the Qing Dynasty", he sighed like a lonely and quiet sigh of this literary man and poet. He didn't want the sky to be clear, he wanted it to rain all the time.

The reason is very simple!

On rainy days, all the firearms of the Qing Dynasty and Taiping Army were affected and could not be used normally.

They are all exposed fuse firearms!

So once it rains, the Taiping Army will just act as a lie. It will not attack the city as hard as it is on the sunny day.

Shaozhou has been attacked by Changhai for 6 days, and the rain delayed both sides for two days. However, in these six days, in the documents sent to the Qing court, the invincible brave general of the Qing Dynasty defeated Changhai for hundreds of attacks and injured tens of thousands of people. There was no place outside Shaozhou City, all of which were Changhai for corpses.

But now this brave general was just sighing lonely. He hoped that the rain would continue to go on, and that would definitely be the first brave general of the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong. And the most important thing is that in just a few days, his wealth has increased a lot.

Now, the rain stopped during the day yesterday, but the tide still blocked the Taiping Army. Yesterday's siege was just a gesture.

But in Shaozhou City, the street of Green Willow Opium was robbed by the Qing Dynasty Green Camp, and all the opium was taken to the army for labor.

Without opium, there is no morale.

Now the most powerful brave general can only rob the opium merchants' home. He knows where these guys listed on the Shaozhou Rich List live, but he doesn't want it. This is his last insurance to inspire morale. He hopes to rob it after Changmao leaves.

But now the rain has stopped. After an hour, a scorching sun will jump into the sky. Tomorrow will undoubtedly be the longest day. He will definitely face the crazy attack of Zhao Ziwei, a beast in front of him.

He was worried that he could hold on?

Longhai is really a beast. They are all raised by their parents. Why can’t we smoke smoke and rob guns of the people? We don’t do such a comfortable thing, instead of fighting with ourselves to fight for life?

Although the Green Camp is defending the city, their fucking training and morale have cost them a bloody price.

A few days later, not only were there many injured people, but even the guy who had a small mouth on his body would cry and try to get into the wounded barracks. Even opium smoke could not tempt him back to the city wall. The more he fought, the more he became, the more he was afraid, and he didn't want to fight to the top of the city.

"I can't hold on for a few more days! It seems that I have to prepare a few quick horses to be ready to run for my own life." Tong'an Bushe dragged the puddle and thought: "Fortunately, I sent all the concubines out of the city, but I want to survive."

Looking at the bright moon, Tongan murmured to himself: "How good is it that you should never rise the sun?"

But the sun is not a commoner in Shaozhou City. It doesn't mean that the "famous general" of the Qing Dynasty still rises as usual.

At dawn, after the whole army had finished their meal, Zhao Kuo walked to the platform. According to the convention, he wanted to guide the whole army to pray. Looking at the dark head in front of him, he turned his head to look at the cross behind him. For the first time, he pressed his chest with some fear and thought to himself: "If there is really God, please bless me! Today will be a life-and-death day."
