Chapter 480: Flat Ground Thunder

The marching brigade was forced to stop by this explosion, and soon a sergeant came to report that the front army was walking well, and suddenly there was an explosion, and more than a dozen people in the front team were killed and injured, and they were forced to stop because the situation was unknown. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info instigated to receive the report and felt surprised, so he went to check in person, to see, only to see that there was a pit with a radius of one zhang on the road, the wounded had been carried away, several war horses were lying on the edge of the pit with their intestines rotten, and several dead bodies were also limb incomplete on the side, its image was very miserable, the onlookers were all like ashes, I don't know whether they were glad that they walked behind and escaped a catastrophe, or were scared out of their souls.

The instigator dismounted to check and found that the explosion had indeed occurred from the ground, and there were countless people and vehicles passing by on the leveled road every day, so why did his army blow up when he walked here? As long as they are not fools, they will know that it was Song Jun's ghost after a little thought, but this ghost is really clever, and they can't figure out how Song Jun can let the flat ground be thundered.

Quanzhou is close at hand, and you can't go back for an explosion. The instigator gave the order to set off and move on, of course he would not go ahead. But the path was only thirty steps away and an explosion sounded, and a puff of gunpowder smoke rose up, and when the smoke and dust cleared, everyone found that all the five people in front of them were lying there, but there were still those who were not dead, crying loudly. A few people from behind hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, but they didn't expect the explosion to start again as soon as they walked to the side, and they went to four and lay down three, and only one dragged a bloody leg and escaped back.

"But there are other roads to Quanzhou!" Seeing the sound of the flat mines, killing seven of them, and the cold sweat of the instigation capital also came down, he didn't dare to ask the sentinel on the side again.

"General, there is a road to Quanzhou three miles back, but it takes ten more miles!" The spy replied.

"Well, back off!" I don't know how many of these inexplicable things are waiting for them in front of them, so they are killed one by one and blocked here, so it is better to spare more roads and arrive in Quanzhou as soon as possible......

The navy camp is located on a sandbar in the inland sea of Quanzhou, and it is a busy place at the moment, and the craftsmen of the baggage battalion to which the navy belongs are renovating more than a dozen flat-bottomed boats moored on the docks. Another group of craftsmen made the felled logs into huge rafts, on which there were only simple defensive measures, but on which a large log was erected two feet thick and as high as four or five feet, like the mast of a ship. There was another group of people on the shore who were nailing some huge wooden boxes, but they looked more like sedan chairs without sedan poles.

"Your Majesty, these are all warships and rafts that have been modified according to your design, and they will all be completed in two days!" Zhou Xiang accompanied His Majesty to check it, and said with a smile.

"The sixteenth is a big tide, and it must be done before then, and if you delay, you will have to cut off your head!" Zhao Yu jumped over a horizontal log with his little short legs, twisted his face and tilted his head and said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, when did your subordinates make a mistake, if you can't finish it this time, cut off your subordinates' heads as soon as possible and kick them as balls!" Seeing this, Zhou Xiang immediately bowed his waist and tried his best to lower himself than His Majesty, but unfortunately his stomach was too big, and he couldn't do it because his face was flushed, but it didn't delay his determination to confess himself.

"Well, I'm glad I brought you here, if I lay down Quanzhou, I will reward you with a house, and then let you choose any treasure in Pu Shougeng's private warehouse, how about it?" Zhao Yu likes Zhou Xiang's sycophant from the bottom of his heart, of course, this does not mean that he likes flatterers, but he loves this 'peer' who always has a way to complete the tasks he has to explain, funny and talkative.

"Then my subordinates have thanked Your Majesty first!" Zhou Xiang took two steps back and bowed deeply, he knew that it was difficult to find a house in Qiongzhou Mansion City now with the influx of a large number of officials, which was not much worse than Bianjing and Lin'an back then. And Pu Shougeng's family has a huge amount of money, and there must be treasures hidden in the private treasury, and His Majesty lets him choose any one of them, which shows his love!

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, and the outcome is unknown, why are you thankful first?" Zhao Yu asked with a puzzled expression.

"Eh, Your Majesty is personally driving, that time was not a big victory, and my subordinates are only afraid that Xie will be late!" Zhou Xiang smiled and said with a wrinkled face, "Moreover, Your Majesty has designed this siege weapon, even the subordinate who doesn't know the battle can see it, and with this thing, the army can be sent to the city in a very short time, and the city of Quanzhou can be broken in an instant!" ”

"Okay, then borrow your auspicious words, and I will definitely fulfill my promise!" Zhao Hao smiled and patted Zhou Xiang, who was trying to bend down, on the shoulder and said.

"Your Majesty, there was an urgent report just now, and the instigation has already entered the Quanzhou territory!" At this time, Ni Liang trotted over.

"Oh, how far have they traveled today?" Zhao Yu asked.

"They've walked less than five miles, and they're still tossing and turning!" Ni Liang replied.

"Haha, Lao Zhou, we succeeded!" Zhao Hao laughed and said to Zhou Xiang.

"Your Majesty is saying ......" The sentence Lao Zhou flattered Zhou Xiang, and he shook his head to make himself sober.

"Yes, it was the mine that was created in the past, and now it will be blown up and can't find the north, don't take the main road and take the small road, go around in circles!" Zhao Yu patted Zhou Xiang's fat face and said.

"Alas, Your Majesty is really a god, just take out a random thing can make it difficult for the Tartar to move an inch, and his subordinates only hate themselves for having a pig's brain, and they can't share their worries for Your Majesty!" Zhou Xiang was unhappy, and said with a drooping face as if he was dead.

"Hehe, without your help, my ideas can only stay on the drawings, do we have our own strengths!" Zhao Yu knew that this guy was playing tricks, half comforting, half jokingly.

This mine was reproduced by Zhao Yu when he was idle in Yashan, he wanted to create a mine to block the sea surface in order to block Zhang Hongfan's army, but according to his memory, the things he got often exploded when he encountered wind and waves, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't make a suitable spring to control the strength as a fuse for ignition, and finally simply changed the original design to a mine.

It is said that this was invented by Qi Jiguang back then, using a heavy stone hammer as a power to drive the steel wheel to rotate, and the steel wheel was used to hit the flint to ignite, ignite the fuse, and detonate several pig iron mines in parallel, thereby killing and injuring the enemy. And these things are very easy to obtain, and the manufacturing cost is very low, so after Zhao Yu finished designing, he handed it over to Ying Jieyan, who came to send tribute, and handed it over to Zhou Xiang for trial production, and they really made it. So he brought some with him on this expedition, and he used it to block the passage of enemy reinforcements, but he didn't expect it to work wonders...... (To be continued.) )
