Chapter 648: The Power of Gunpowder

Kantz is one of the outer castles on the Alamut mountain trail, built between the crags and mountains. The area is not large, and it can only accommodate 100 people at most. The number of Assasin followers stationed here is less than thirty.

At the moment, Da Yuan's army was blocking the periphery of the castle, although it did not attack, but the murderous aura still made the disciples in the castle frightened.

Na Xing learned that the Dayuan army had been withdrawn, and he also knew that it was a big deal, so he wanted to hurry up and ask to see Amin. However, the soldiers who guarded them shirked the importance of the military camp and made it inconvenient to walk, so they were placed under house arrest.

At Kantz Castle, the garrison commander Tina Musha was pacifying the cultists below.

"Our place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they dare not attack. And the Great Imam has already sent someone to negotiate peace with them, and this is just to scare us! ”,

"But what if they really dare to fight?" , some believers spoke up.

The other cultists didn't speak, but they looked at Tina Musha's eyes with questions.

If he could, he really wanted to beat the disciple, but everyone looked at it and couldn't get a seizure. I thought about it and was about to explain. A cultist who was monitoring the movement outside the fort suddenly rushed over and said, "The heretics have retreated!" Retreat! ”。

"Huh?" , including the tina wood shaving, everyone was surprised.

"Presumably the peace talks were successful, and they retreated!" In order to stabilize everyone's flustered minds, Ti Namu hurriedly explained.

Although this is what he said, no one will really ask for it.

When he came to the outside of the fort, he saw that the Dayuan soldiers who were blocking the mountain road were gone. However, not really all of them are gone. For example, in the mountain gap less than ten miles away from the military fort, there were two Dayuan soldiers squatting and digging holes.

Since the stones of the mountain are integrated, the entrance to the cave needs to be dug with a special shovel.

"Are they trying to dig tunnels?" Some believers were surprised.

"But just the two of them, how long do you have to dig it?" , someone objected.

Tinamusha also thought it was impossible to dig a tunnel, but he really couldn't think of any other explanation.

At this time, the two Great Yuan soldiers seemed to have finished digging, and they couldn't hear the movement of the chiseled stones. But the two didn't leave, but surrounded themselves and didn't know what they were doing. Some of the disciples proposed to go out and have a look, but Tina Musha was afraid that this was a trick by Dayuan to trick them into opening the door, so he rejected the whole proposal.

Then the two men didn't stay long, and they also hurried out of the mountain road. It's just that behind them, there is a black rope in tow.

Ti Namu looked at it, and became even more suspicious.

And the two big yuan also stopped, took out a lighter and lit the rope.

"Could it be that he set fire to the mountain again?" , Ti Namu shaved the fox suspiciously.

The reason why I say it again is because Da Yuan has burned it several times. The vicinity of this military fort is mostly stone Gobi, and the few vegetation has also been burned by fire. Now, even if you set fire to it again, there is nothing left to burn.

The disciples in the fort are not worried!

After all, the fire can't burn, and it doesn't threaten them.

After seeing the fire ignited, the two Dayuan soldiers were like rabbits, and they ran away. It was as if some flood beast was chasing after him.

And on a small mound with gentle terrain at the bottom of the mountain, all the Dayuan soldiers had already heard the order and were lying on all fours.

"Quick! Splash water! Seeing the reaction of the Dayuan soldiers in the clairvoyant mirror, Ti Namu suddenly felt bad and shouted loudly. Although he still didn't know what medicine was sold in Da Yuan's gourd, the rope that lit the fire made him instinctively perceive the danger.

When the believers below heard this, they hurriedly moved water and splashed it below. But there is some distance between them, and the accuracy is not right. Even if water splashes it, it cannot extinguish the rope soaked in oil. Ti Namu was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked people to open the stone door and lead people to put out the fire.

Unfortunately, at this time, the rope had been burned to its strength, and the black jar in the stone cave was also ignited. I heard a loud bang, followed by a shaking of the mountains. Before Tiamti could go far, some rocks fell from the top of his head.

He was unlucky and was hit instantly.

Si Li Mali at the foot of the mountain listened to the movement, and then took the clairvoyant mirror to observe the movement of the military fort, and laughed: "With gunpowder in hand, any danger can be broken!" ”。

This time, in order to completely solve the Assasin faction, the army is also on standby at all times. Although he has plans for peace talks, Lee Seungji will not bet all his bets on peace talks. After all, the Assasins are a bunch of outlaws, and for these people, they really can't be handled with common sense.

Even in order to completely solve the trouble, Lee Seungji also planned to implement a policy of complete elimination of the Assasin faction's separatist territory. That is to slaughter all the Assasin followers, leaving no future to come. Any child who is taller than a wheel is also among the slaughter.

This is to prevent extreme revenge from happening and causing trouble for Da Yuan. As for the inclusion of the Assasin faction in the Division, that was nothing more than a cover used to confuse the Assasin faction during the peace talks. Succeeding or not, Lee Seung-ji will not keep the Assasinites in the country.

It's just that if they succeed, they will have a chance to live. The peace talks failed, and they all died.

At present, in order to prepare early, the newly established Shuai Mansion sent gunpowder months in advance. This is to facilitate the Daeun's generals to solve the stronghold of the Assasin faction in one fell swoop.

The present state of the fort proves that gunpowder is used very well. It seems that in the future, it is necessary to ask the Marshal's Mansion to ask for more demolition troops, so that it will be much easier to fight in the mountains.

This is a new branch of the armed forces established after the reform of the army and the establishment of the Shuaifu. It is mainly responsible for building bridges and roads, and opening mountains and blasting. In fact, this is also a type of fortification soldier, which belongs to the engineer battalion. But with the artillery battalion, they are two different branches of the military.

Slimali didn't think the Demoman was powerful before, but now that he saw that two Demomen had solved a military fort, he suddenly realized the power of the Demoman.

At this time, the two Great Yuan soldiers who were in charge of the blasting also returned! Seeing the admiring expressions of his companions, my heart was also happy. In the end, this blasting is also exquisite. Factors such as where to blast, how much gunpowder to use, and what the safety distance is should all be taken into account in advance.

Otherwise, the location of the blasting is not right, and the expected effect will not be achieved. And if something goes wrong, you can injure yourself by mistake and cause big trouble.

Of course, the treatment of this type of military is also relatively high. According to the officers at the time of training, they are technical arms and need brains. And there are risks, so they should be treated more favorably than ordinary soldiers.

In the barracks, it is on par with the treatment of artillerymen.

Slimali also spoke to the two Demomen, reminding the clerk to make a note of them. This is the general who is responsible for the merit assessment of the soldiers, and he is even more civilian in the army. And he is also responsible for the psychological counseling and ideological education and training of the soldiers, so that they can always maintain their loyalty to Dayuan.

And the status is also relatively independent, not controlled by the main general. Even if Slimali hadn't reminded him, the clerk would have given credit to the two Demomen.
