Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 869 Trap
The shouts and killings outside were loud, but in the tunnel there were only the sound of walking footsteps and the metallic sound of armor colliding.

This tunnel was actually only used by the royal family of the Mughal Empire to escape in a difficult situation.Therefore, when the excavation was done, the excavation was not very big, and basically only one person could pass through it, and it was difficult for two people to walk side by side.

If the tunnel is not used for a long time, the air inside will certainly not be very good.It can be said that these people in the tunnel are suffering a lot.

However, they were all elites selected by Aurangzeb from the entire army, equipped with the best equipment, and used to form an elite army to win by surprise.Therefore, although the environment was poor, they didn't complain at all, and even faintly excited, thinking to get out of the tunnel as soon as possible, and make a surprise attack on the city. It would be best to kill the Ming emperor at once, so as to achieve the best surprise effect.

Because of the large number of people, and in order not to consume too much air, the number of torches in the tunnel is very small, but the front torch is unavoidable, and an eunuch is holding it to lead the way.

Faintly, one could feel the fighting outside.These soldiers all suppressed the excitement in their hearts and prepared to fight hard.But at this time, I don't know who it is, there is a "poof", a rapid fart sound, and there is a lot of curses in the tunnel, but it stops immediately, and quickly passes through the polluted area with mouth and nose closed.

Suddenly, the eunuch in front stopped, turned his head and said to the general who was following him, "Here we are, push open the stone gate in front, and outside is a garden, covered with vines."

Hearing this, the generals behind him breathed a sigh of relief, they finally arrived, so the news spread to the back, and at the same time, they began to push open the stone gate, preparing to hide behind the vines to observe the movement in the garden.

All the elite Mughals in the back were very excited when they heard the news from the front, and each of them clenched their weapons and prepared to fight.

At the front of the line, the general himself, according to the eunuch's instructions, slowly pushed the stone door out as carefully as possible.

"Put harder, I haven't moved this stone gate for a long time, I'm afraid it's a little tight." The eunuch carefully reminded behind him.

When the general heard this, he couldn't help but feel contemptuous in his heart, I'm not your eggless, of course I have much more strength than you.You feel a little tight, but I push it without any effort.

He never thought that there is actually not that much difference in physical strength between eunuchs and ordinary people.He felt very relaxed, not because of his strength, but another possibility, that is, the stone gate has been pulled by someone.

Without Shimen's effort, the general pushed Shimen open.According to the eunuch's reminder, they should be behind the vines, because the vines covered them, and the light must not be very good.

However, the general felt that the light outside was so dazzling that it didn't look like it was covered with vines at all.Squinting his eyes, he tried hard to adapt to the light outside for the first time.

But at this moment, suddenly, he heard a voice, but he didn't understand it.

Then, a "boom" sound was heard.At the same time, he felt severe pain all over his face.

In fact, it wasn't just him, including the people behind him, all wailing with the sound of "Boom".

Thinking about it, there is a Fran cannon at the entrance of the cave, which is filled with shotguns, that is, gravel, iron filings and the like. The bombardment at such a close range can cover the whole area. How could the few people at the front of the tunnel be spared.

Before the people in the tunnel came back to their senses, the soldiers of the Ming army outside quickly put on a new gun, and then fired, there was another loud roar, and a lot of dust fell in the tunnel.

After letting go of five guns in a row, Dongkou looked at Zhou Yuji and immediately ordered: "Humidify the firewood, blow the wind, and speed up."

It turned out that there were piles of firewood piled up at the entrance of the tunnel, and when they heard the military order, they immediately added wet firewood, and a lot of smoke came out of the burning fire, and the soldiers of the Ming army were fanning it. Thick smoke poured into the tunnel.

Other soldiers of the Ming army covered their mouths and noses, dragged the corpse out of the tunnel entrance, and then faced the smoking firewood inside, speeding up the speed of pouring thick smoke into the tunnel.

Hearing the continuous coughing in the tunnel, Zhou Yuji sneered and said, "Add cow dung, pig dung, etc., the smoke will be thicker, pour it in, and guard the entrance of the cave."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the Ming army soldiers outside the tunnel responded excitedly and loudly.

Afterwards, Zhou Yuji led the others away to light all the firewood scattered around, and then asked the Mughal soldiers to shout fighting, and finally returned to Emperor Chongzhen to deliver the order.

After hearing his report, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Okay, let's act for a while, then deal with it severely, and then let Li Qing attack."

Zhou Yuji naturally knew that Li Laiheng was already waiting there, so he quickly clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to deliver the decree!"

........................

Outside the city, Aurangzeb has been waiting, watching the movement in the city a little anxiously.Attacking through tunnels is his biggest trump card, which can greatly reduce the casualties of the siege.

He estimated the time in his mind, and when he felt it was almost time, he stretched his neck and looked into the city.

The time was calculated correctly, and there seemed to be thick smoke coming out from the direction of the exit of the tunnel in the city.He was overjoyed and looked more carefully.As a result, more and more thick smoke began to rise.

"Haha, the attack has gone in, it must have gone in!" After Aurangzeb saw this clearly, he finally couldn't help laughing.

That dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty never expected to have such a move!

Delhi is the capital of my Mughals, how can it be so easy to occupy, now I have to pay the price!
In his heart, he thought proudly, and then his attention shifted to the city wall.Just as he expected, the Ming army on the top of the city was visibly panicked, and many of them turned around and disappeared at the top of the city. Obviously, they should have dispatched troops to extinguish the war in the city.

"Good idea!" Aurangzeb sneered after seeing the situation clearly, and then ordered, "Pass down the will of Ben Khan, and give Ben Khan an all-out attack on the city!"

The generals who had been waiting by his side, of course, knew what was going on in the city. Their morale was boosted, and they immediately responded loudly, and then hurried to lead their subordinates and began to attack the city with all their strength.

On the other side, Abbas II, who was pretending to be attacking the city with all his strength, of course also noticed the changes in the situation in the city.He immediately understood that Aurangzeb must have succeeded in the sneak attack.

So, without hesitation, he immediately ordered his men to attack the city with all their strength, trying to be the first to enter the city.In this way, he can take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations with Aurangzeb.

Just like that, outside the city wall of Delhi, countless ants swarmed over densely. It was just a simple ladder, and they were afraid of going up when it was erected on the city wall.

Even their war elephants were driven over.Those elephant soldiers stood on the backs of the elephants and used their height to shoot at the top of the city to cover their siege troops.

In their view, the city was in chaos, and the defenders at the top of the city were withdrawn. Under such a powerful offensive, they would surely be able to enter the city quickly.

The battle in Delhi, just for a short while, became very intense.

However, no matter how the army outside the city attacked the city regardless of casualties, after all, Delhi was the capital of the Mughal Empire, and the city walls were relatively strong and tall.Therefore, under the tenacious protection of the Ming army, the casualties of the siege soldiers rose in a straight line. It can be seen that both Aurangzeb and Abbas II were bloody.

No matter what they believe, as long as they persist, the Ming army will definitely be unable to resist.

However, the Ming army seemed unable to resist, but in the end they resisted.The casualties of the siege troops continued to rise, and the hearts of Aurangzeb and Abbas II continued to bleed.

………………

In the city of Delhi, Emperor Chongzhen had been counting the time silently in his heart, and when he estimated that the situation in the tunnel would reach Aurangzeb in a while, he gave an order to Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch beside him: "Beat the drum!"

So, after a while, rhythmic drums sounded in the city: "Boom...boom...boom..."

Hearing this sound, the soldiers who had been waiting on the four walls of Delhi sent things to the top of the city one after another, and then lit them and threw them down the city.

After those things were thrown down, thick smoke soon appeared, and then flames spewed out, and they began to spin.

The smoke was poisonous, and the fire was the spray of gunpowder, which immediately killed a large number of enemies under the city, making them forget about attacking the city.Especially those war elephants, who had never seen such a thing before. Under the double attack of poisonous smoke and flames, they started to run madly and trampled to death.

That's right, this thing is Daming's defensive weapon "ten thousand enemies".

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the "enemies of ten thousand people" under the city, the soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city suddenly had several times more troops. The arrows and bullets formed by bows, arrows, and muskets hit the enemy under the city without knowing how many casualties they had. !
In just a short while, the casualties of the enemies outside the city have already exceeded the sum of the previous casualties.

Seeing this situation, whether it was Aurangzeb or Abbas II, they immediately felt fooled.If the elite soldiers in the tunnel really had to rush into the city and set fires everywhere, it would be absolutely impossible for the Ming army on the top of the city to react like this.

Just looking at this situation, it looks more like a trap of the Ming army, just waiting for the crazy attack outside the city.

Although I don't understand what happened to the elite soldiers in the tunnel, one thing is very clear. Both Aurangzeb and Abbas II hurriedly ordered their siege troops to withdraw.Otherwise, the casualties would be too great for them to bear.

But at this moment, the rhythmic drumming in the city suddenly turned into a rush: "Boom boom boom..."
