During the Qing Dynasty, Li Xiucheng saw that the grass under the city wall had an abnormal color, so he ordered hot soup to be poured into it. Why did he scream in agony immediately?
Because there were people underground, Li Xiucheng knew that someone was digging holes underground to destroy the city. That's why he ordered that hot soup be poured in, so that the people in the cave would be scalded to the point of screaming in agony. I have to say that although the idea of digging a hole in the ground is good, Li Xiucheng is more cunning and can see through it at a glance.
1. Burrow tactics are not suitable for siege
It was Zeng Guoquan who led the army to attack the city, but it was Li Xiucheng who defended the city. These two people had fought against each other before, and Li Xiucheng also suffered a lot at the hands of Zeng Guoquan. Now things have turned, and it was Zeng Guoquan's turn to try his best to invade Nanjing.
The army led by Zeng Guoquan was unable to attack outside the city for a long time. After all, the expenses of such an army for a day were huge. Over time, the court would inevitably criticize. Obviously knowing that digging holes in the ground to attack the city was not the best way, Zeng Guoquan had to do it because the situation was tense and failure to take action would inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the court.
2. Burrow siege was heard by Li Xiucheng in advance and Li Xiucheng decided to use the burrow tactic to catch the turtle in the urn
Li Xiucheng also used the burrow tactic against Zeng Guoquan, but at that time Li Xiucheng suffered heavy losses due to the burrow tactic. , when he knew that Zeng Guoquan was going to use the same stupid method to attack the city, Li Xiucheng smiled happily. He knew that his opportunity to retaliate in kind had come.
In this year, Zeng Guoquan could not resist the pressure from the court and could only dig holes everywhere to attack the city. Instead, Li Xiucheng wandered around the city without any pressure and observed the changes in the color of the grass on the ground. This Li Xiucheng was particularly cunning. He ordered people to pour thick smoke and boiling soup into the tunnel. As a result, as soon as the boiling soup fell down, the enemy soldiers in the tunnel screamed in agony.
Li Xiucheng is an experienced caveman, and Zeng Guoquan was a stranger when he met him. I have to say that this kind of underground fighting is really not suitable for siege. Isn't this a trap for people to catch in a jar?
