Chapter Eighty-Four: That's Not How I Designed It

In terms of face-to-face real swords and guns, Hong Tao is not a fart, he doesn't even have the courage to go ashore with a knife and gun and pretend. However, when it comes to digging pits to make things bad and using various advantages to harm people, it is estimated that the generals of all Mongolia together are not as good as him half-pulling his head. The reason why he wanted to storm Haizhou City was a big pit dug by Hong Tao. He found out in Dengzhou that once the city gate was attacked, many defenders would desperately try to take it back, and the city wall or walled wall seemed to be as important to them as their lives.

It's easy to do with persistence, Hong Tao likes to pit people who have persistence, and he can't move people who have no desires and no desires. Do you not value the walls and the gates? Well, I will dig a big pit for you with the walls and gates, so that you can like them once and for all eternity, and merge with them for eternity, and never be separated again. Landmines are used a lot in modern warfare, and they are a defensive weapon, and Hong Tao also sacrificed them in the thirteenth century. Although the thing he made was not called a mine at all, it meant something about the same, it was an artificial mine.

It doesn't matter if there is no trigger ignition device, we have a fuse, and use manual ignition; It's okay to be afraid of being discovered, throw more grenades at the city gate, and as soon as the fire and smoke fill, even if you know that there is a fuse, you can't find where it is, let alone not know.

The defenders were fooled, and the defenders of Haizhou, also led by Mongol generals, came quickly, from the beginning of the attack to the time when their horse team rushed into the city, it took less than an hour. What, you say that an hour is too slow, Laojia, this is ancient, there is no telephone, no telegraph, all rely on fireworks signals and human legs and horses to transmit news. From receiving the news to the whole team setting off, arriving at the scene of the incident in one hour is basically the same level as dispatching the police in ten minutes, which is not only not slow, but also very fast, which shows that the army here is well-trained.

Very well trained indeed. As soon as the horse team appeared, it was already divided into three teams, one team dismounted, began to ascend the city, and moved along the city wall in the direction of the city gate. The remaining two teams were not in a hurry to charge, but like Hong Tao attacking Dengzhou Water Village. Riding a horse and shooting arrows at the city gates from a long distance to cover the fire. The smoke near the city gate was too great to see the enemy clearly, and it was easy to fall into a trap by rushing to charge, and a few rounds of bows and arrows came down, which not only killed and wounded the enemy, but also covered the friendly troops on the city wall.

When the troops on the walls approached the bombed-out gates and found that there were no enemies, the two groups of cavalry stopped firing arrows. Begin to assemble at the gates of the city. At the same time, he did not relax his vigilance, and also discharged three groups of nine cavalry out of the city to explore, and the rest of the people lined up outside the city gate, and began to ask people who dared to attack Haizhou City. At this time, they should have also spotted the battleship on the surface of the sea and a few dinghys floating on the beach.

"Send a signal, it's time to ignite." Hong Tao has always been holding a telescope on the flagship to watch the excitement, he is not too optimistic about the ambush reinforcements, just an attempt. If he had a mine that could be triggered or pulled, he could have more ideas. At present, this kind of land mine that relies on people to ignite the fire is too limited. Who can be sure that the enemy will honestly stand within the blast range of his own determination? It can only be a matter of obscurity. But this time it seems that luck is good, the reinforcements from Haizhou City really didn't run around, and stopped near the explosion point, so let's send them on the road.

Just as the horse team stopped to inquire about the whole story, preparing for the next move, and at the same time observing several large ships on the sea. No one noticed that under the pile of rubble, a row of snow-white teeth and a pair of large black and white eyes were exposed. The black boy had disguised himself in a pile of bricks, only four or five meters away from the city gate. When he saw a large string of black and white signal flags flying over the flagship, he cracked his mouth and smiled. Without hesitation, he pulled out the arquebus from a small bamboo tube. Blowing carefully, he pressed the fiery red end of the rope against a black paper twist. In an instant, the paper twist sparked and smoked into the pile of bricks.

"Lao Wen, look at this hourglass, there will be big fireworks in a quarter of an hour, and I think of a good weapon, which is very suitable for us to use. This weapon is called a mine, and it is specially used to trap people! It can be made very large, buried in the road, tied with a fire sickle with a rope, using the principle of friction to make a fire, as long as it is pulled like this, it ...... "After Hong Tao ordered the fire to start, he talked about his new invention with Wen Nannian on the side, and didn't care about the movement at the city gate at all....... According to estimates, lighting the fuse from a safe distance will have to burn for a few minutes before it explodes. Who would have thought that as soon as he made an explosion, the east gate of Haizhou in the distance really exploded, and the sound was almost synchronized with him, but the effect was hundreds of times stronger. The huge shock wave was like a ripple of water, pushing the dust on the ground into a wave, with the city gate as the center, slowly dispersing outward. Black plumes of smoke rose high, and some of the blown up adobe flew higher and faster, like a big firework.

"Whew! Banzai! Long live sir! Long live Golden River Bay! With this explosion, the sailors on board cheered, and they all admired their fleet commander and gentleman from the bottom of their hearts. Follow him out to fight, not only can you abuse all the ships you encounter at sea, but you can also wantonly attack the seaside cities, and now you can go ashore and amplify the fireworks, who doesn't want to follow the old victorious generals. Especially this general is a chicken thief, never fights with the lives of soldiers, it is all a matter of stealing chickens and dogs, although it is not very decent to say it, but everyone loves him, true love!

"Oops...... No, how can it be so fast! What about Lang Cliff? Didn't you say that it was 50 meters away...... "......The only unhappy thing is Hong Tao, he knows very well what the power of dozens of catties of black powder in the whale oil tank is after the explosion, if the person who ignites the fire is too close, he will be shocked to death if he is not blown up." It was less than two minutes before the ignition order was issued, and this Nima was Tuxingsun, and he couldn't escape the explosion range, let alone the meat man in Langya. But before he could finish his words, a second explosion came, and like the previous one, another large mushroom cloud rose from the direction of the city gate, and there was nothing to be seen from there, and the houses that were relatively close to the city gate had been shaken down.

"Boom...... Boom...... "Boom ......" five loud noises in a row, five mushroom clouds, and the eastern half of Haizhou City was all filled with dust. What a city gate, even the city wall can't be seen, and those Haizhou reinforcements don't even have a shadow of a horse, they are all drowned in dust and mist.

"It's over...... It's over, my Marine Captain is gone...... Yaya, send a signal to let the deputy captain of the Marine Corps come back to see me, we have lost Nima in this deal! It is estimated that Hong Tao is the only one in the whole fleet who is unhappy, and even Wen Nan, a guy who does not advocate indiscriminate killing, is happily high-fived and celebrates with the sailors. This kind of scene without bloody battles, only spectacular scenes and majestic momentum, although it is also killing, may be more efficient in killing, but it is more acceptable. Because you can't see anything, hundreds of people are gone.

"Hey! Langya, are you still alive!? Will you teleport? When Hong Tao saw Langya's dark, thin and short body climb onto the deck, licking his tattooed face and smiling at himself, he thought he had crossed over again, into the magical world! This Nima is unscientific, the ignition distance is so close, and he is next to the Haizhou reinforcements, even if he gets up and runs, it's too late, but he is unscathed!

"I didn't order it, it's a black boy under my command. He said that he wanted to make meritorious contributions and let his two younger brothers become naturalized, and I gave him this opportunity! This kid is very ruthless, he almost buried himself next to the mine, and none of those horses can escape! It's a pity that those war horses are gone...... "Langya didn't feel guilty at all, and he described the heroic deeds of his men vividly, which seemed to be a very praiseworthy thing. And the sailors on the ship were also very cooperative, and cheered along with him, but no one grieved for the black boy.

"You guys are so inhuman! He's been following you for months, and if he says die, you'll let him die! Hong Tao wanted to fly up and kick this cliff away, but he couldn't kick it, everyone on the boat was celebrating, and his own foot out would make them very confused.

This system is self-determined, and the person who should be kicked is himself. The ideas of people in this era are different from those of later generations, they are more pure, they are not bound by so many hypocritical moral concepts, everyone has a scale in their hearts, what is suitable and what is not, they will calculate it themselves. It's just that this incident had a great impact on Hong Tao, and his education was different. If it's sacrificing yourself for covering other companions, it's a hero! If it is to take down the enemy's fortress and prevent his companions from dying more, Hong Tao can also say a great reason by doing this! But the black boy died just so that his two brothers could not continue to be slaves, just so that they could be official residents like these fellow sailors around him, and he died without hesitation. What a real Nima! Wouldn't he have waited a few more months, couldn't he have waited for that little time???

"Congratulations sir, people's hearts are available!" Wen Nan stood beside Hong Tao and saw a string of tears falling from Hong Tao's eyes, and immediately showed a very relieved expression on his face, and gave Hong Tao a gift to congratulate. He felt that Hong Tao's mood was really well adjusted, at this time, as a superior person, if he could drop a few crocodile tears, the demagogic effect would not be half a star. He didn't find that Hong Tao had this ability before, so he admired Hong Tao even more, a person's success is really not casual. Usually look at this person with a big grin and no city government, but now it seems that he is very hidden! Follow such a person, the future is limitless! Now he really wants to assist Hong Tao to achieve a career, he sees the light! (To be continued.) )
