Chapter 286: Explosion!
There was little pause. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Go and search, grab the ivory rhinoceros horn or something. He added, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
The soldiers and sailors responded to the call, scattered to all corners of the warehouse, savagely pried open the boxes with machetes and daggers, jumped directly over food and munitions, and stuffed all the precious and portable treasures into the bags.
As they ransacked, Zheng Fei and Santiago climbed a high watchtower, where four bodies lay down.
Standing on the watchtower, looking up at the position of the garrison of the strait a few hundred meters away, everything is normal, the garrison is resting, except for the battery, those artillery must constantly monitor the strait in case there are arms ships forcing through.
"Man, how are you going to light the fire?" Santiago was hunched over the guardrail, swinging around with a pendant set with a bright red gem.
Zheng Fei glanced at the pendant and looked surprised.
"Where did you get something so valuable?"
"What?...... Oh, you say that. Santiago bared his teeth and smiled innocently, "Remember when we took in a group of sailors in Barcelona, one of them was named Mario?"
"Yes. Zheng Fei couldn't help but smile, this name couldn't be more familiar, as soon as he heard it, a picture of eating mushrooms and stepping on a turtle would come to mind.
"Well, there was a banquet on deck that night, and I traded this ruby with Vivien ten times to him, and I happened to meet a lapidary in the city the other day, and I made it into a pendant. ”
"It's not like you. Zheng Fei unscrewed the lid of the wine jug, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, looking at the dark dome in the distance, with a little sadness in his tone, for Santiago's simple mind and simple love.
"Which girl are you going to give it to?"
"Yes, you know, Visie, the dancer at the Atlanta Pier Bar, she's the woman I want to conquer the most in the world. ”
"It's a pity that we don't have a chance for the time being, and if we find the descendants of Sparta, we will have to find a way to go back to America. ”
Santiago Nunu mouthed, lifted the pendant up, and held it.
"Then wait a little longer. ”
"Let's hope her fate doesn't match Teresa's. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Fei realized that he had said the wrong thing, muttered for a moment, and changed the topic.
"Hey, why don't you say it sooner if you want to give her a gift, I can give you a sum of money to buy the best pendant. ”
"No, no matter how good it is, it's your money. Santiago shrugged, his smile still silly.
"It's too~" Zheng Fei took a sentence, and was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw a red fire flashing on the sea in the distance, and then, a rumbling sound hit.
Another merchant ship carrying munitions was hit, and in the faint moonlight, it was clear that ants were running about on the beach, some fleeing for their lives, others watching the excitement.
Zheng Fei frowned, took a sip of wine, and when Santiago was still staring at the fire and didn't react, he quickly rushed down the watchtower and came to the door of the warehouse.
"Guys, stop looking for anything valuable, gather all the munitions in the warehouse, pile all the explosives at the door, and push a few more guns out. ”
The hapless merchant ship that was hit created an excellent opportunity to blow up the warehouse.
In this era, there are no time bombs, and if you want to detonate explosives, you must point the lead, if the lead is too long, it is easy to break down halfway, and if it is too short, it must be very close to the warehouse, and although the warehouse is blown up, it is likely to be caught by the swarming garrison.
And now, all the attention of the whole beach was on the wrecked ship, and there must have been a lot of noise there, and it was difficult to discern the sound of cannon fire from a kilometer away.
That's right, to borrow artillery from warehouses and use shelling to detonate explosives!
Under the cover of the noise, coupled with the attention of the ship, the garrison could not tell where the shelling was coming from, and naturally it was impossible to carry out the round-up. After the explosion of the warehouse, it is possible to get out of the warehouse.
......
The fireworks of the ship's explosion turned the night sky a touching shade of red, and people rushed to the beach with all kinds of emotions to cast sympathetic or gloating glances at the ship that had been reduced to a sea of fire.
The commotion permeated the entire beach, and the porters who were waiting for the Zheng spaceship to get on the plane also turned over one after another, stretching their necks to watch the excitement.
Tonight, the artillerymen always felt a bad premonition, and their hearts were furious, but they couldn't think of what the reason was, did anyone dare to attack the most elite unit of the Ottoman Empire, the garrison of the Istanbul Strait?
Apparently not, and even if there were, it would be an absolute lunatic.
Thousands of meters wide on the sea, as calm as ever, the artillery captain lay in the stone lighthouse, yawned, looked down the small window, his eyes lingered for a moment on the blown up ship, began to look for the light of the fire in the darkness, and as soon as he found it, he cursed angrily.
"Battery Six! Giles! How many times have I said you are not allowed to smoke at work! Be careful that I screw your head!"
With a roar, the fire was extinguished, and Artilleryman Gilles silently lowered his head, smiled at his companion, and then knocked his pipe on the turret, chatting with his companion.
"Poor fellow again, why does anyone always dare to risk arms to the Black Sea. ”
"Because of the money to be made, I heard from a distant relative of mine that an ordinary artillery cannon can be sold for 800 silver coins in Romania!
"No wonder ......"
After reprimanding his men, the artillery captain yawned again, lay back on the bed, took a puff on his pipe, and squinted for a while.
"Bang!bang......"
Short, continuous, dull sounds, like thunder on a cloudy day, rang in the ears from afar.
He muttered and opened his eyes, which sounded like an artillery salvo.
Instantly, before he could speculate any more, a huge explosion erupted in a few seconds, and the ground began to shake slightly, and the oil lamp hanging from the wall fell to the ground, splashing oil.
Unsure of the situation, he hurriedly rushed to the window, but the window faced the sea, and he didn't notice anything unusual, and without a moment's hesitation, he moved a ladder and climbed up to the top of the lighthouse from the skylight.
Blowing the cold sea breeze, he looked around carefully, and finally found a sky-high fire, a huge fire burning wildly as if it was about to devour everything!
When he found the target, he felt a brief moment of joy in his heart, and this momentary joy instantly vanished, replaced by infinite horror.
Warehouse!
Squatting at the top of a lighthouse dozens of stories high, the wind stabbed his face mercilessly, and he was messy.
After a few seconds of reaction time, he stumbled down the stairs and picked up a sledgehammer to ring the alarm bell. (To be continued.) )
