Chapter 273: The Powder Depot Explosion

The powder magazine exploded!

After Ma Debao reacted, his first action was to step in front of Xu Xinyi, and shouted: "Protect the eldest lady!" ”

It is worthy of being the division of a hundred battles, and all the guerrillas, thousands of generals, and generals immediately lined up into four human walls, protecting Xu Xinyi and Qin Lin in the middle.

When Xu Xinyi was protected by a strict human shield, Ma Debao breathed a sigh of relief - blowing up the powder magazine was a crime of dismissal and investigation, but if he injured Miss Xu, Wei Guogong would definitely dismantle his bones.

Qin Lin wanted to see the scene of the explosion, but was blocked by a dense ironclad wall, and secretly laughed that he had also enjoyed a national treasure-level treatment with Xu Xinyi.

The elite Zhejiang soldiers in the battalion have been in the war for a long time, and when the powder magazine was just exploded, they were intimidated by the loud noise and vibration, but they understood in the blink of an eye, and they stood in place one by one, holding their weapons tightly, and did not run around and scream.

Ma Debao immediately issued an order, telling all the officers to restrain the soldiers to guard against enemy attacks, the Chinese army to stabilize the camp must not be frustrated, the front battalion flew all the way to the sentinel to investigate, and the other two roads were outflanked, if there was a small number of annihilation, it must be captured alive, and the Lianzhu cannon was released to call the patrol guards at various intersections outside the camp to set up a card immediately, and no matter the soldiers and civilians were allowed to leave.

When Qin Lin heard Ma Debao's disposition, he was not in a hurry, investigating the scene, blocking and arresting, these routines will be the same in future generations, it seems that this Ma Shen general has the style of a general.

Feeling that his palm was scratched, Qin Lin turned his head.

Xu Xinyi came over mysteriously, and met Qin Lin again, and now it was okay, and the two kissed mouth-to-mouth.

Hmm, hmm, Xu Xinyi's honey-colored face flushed, and he quickly took two steps back and glared at Qin Lin fiercely.

Qin Lin smiled and scratched his head, well, it felt good just now, soft and plump lips, with hot enthusiasm.

Xu Xinyi looked around with a weak heart, fortunately, all sides were blocked by dense human walls, and these people were all holding weapons and facing outward to make a defensive posture, but no one saw the embarrassing scene just now.

After settling down, she became angry when she looked at Qin Lin's lazy appearance, and said in a low voice: "Hey, don't you just shoot the two shots that flew and blew up the powder magazine, right?" ”

"If I hit it, then these two shotguns are more powerful than cannons - they can hit two or three miles away," Qin Lin shook his head helplessly, wanting to knock Xu Xinyi's head twice.

Xu Xinyi's hanging heart let go, sang out, and patted his chest: "It's not good, if you blew it up, it's not easy to help you hide it,"

Qin Lin smiled and scratched her palm, why did she feel more and more cute about this fool?

After a while, the flying horsemen sent over came back to report that they did not catch the enemy, and the entire powder magazine at the explosion site was blown away, and even the barracks next to it collapsed in pieces, and the casualties were unknown, and most of the brothers were left there to rescue the injured comrades.

The fact that there was no annihilation in the camp was found indicates that at least there was no large force of enemies taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and the powder magazine was almost blown up, so there would be no secondary explosion.

Ma Debao settled down a little, turned to Xu Xinyi, and bowed his hand to Xu Xinyi: "The last general has to command the arrangement, I'm afraid it's not safe here, I don't know if the eldest lady will drive home?" The last general immediately sent soldiers to escort him. ”

Miss Xu has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, where is she willing to go? Pulling Qin Lin and running towards the scene of the explosion: "Let's go, let's take a look-Qin Lin, won't you solve the case?" See if you can solve the case of the explosion of the powder magazine! ”

Qin Lin was already itching when he saw that he was happy, and of course he was willing to go and see the scene.

Ma Debao had no choice but to lead the troops to follow behind, he usually treats Miss Xu with respect, and at this time he does not dare to disobey in the slightest, the explosion of the powder magazine is already a felony of dereliction of duty, and then offend Miss Xu, isn't it a lantern in the toilet and looking for death ()?

For the sake of safety, there are no buildings near the powder magazine, and there are workshops of all kinds of military craftsmen a little farther away, and there are many types, only the blacksmiths have those who specialize in nailing horseshoe, those who refine blades, those who polish the blades, and those who repair firearms, and the cobblers who make saddle harnesses for war horses, those who make marching cowhide tents, and those who make soldiers' leather boots...... Although it was far from the powder magazine, the power of the explosion still affected the area, several houses collapsed, burying the military craftsmen who were working in them, and some bricks and stones flew from the powder magazine, smashing the unfortunate ones to the point of bleeding and breaking tendons.

Many soldiers had come to the rescue and carried the dead and wounded aside, and on their original posts, the cobbler's ox-ear sharp knives, hair scrapers, and leather bandages, the blacksmith's hammers and tongs, and the carpenter's axes, adzes, and saws were scattered all over the ground, and many of them were stained with blood, and they looked miserable.

Ma Debao immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to go to the rescue, looking at this tragic scene with anger and shame, at this time, a general came over and whispered a few words in his ear, and the general looked directly at Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi when he spoke.

"What, you don't want us to come?" Xu Xinyi was not happy.

Ma Debao shook his hand again and again, bowed deeply to Xu Xinyi and Qin Lin, and asked the general manager to say it himself.

He knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The military craftsmen and brothers are doing work in the workshop during the day, and the explosion is so powerful, I am afraid that I will not die several times, but now the casualties are not much, just because the eldest lady and Chief Qin competed in the martial arts arena, which caused these military craftsmen to watch on the edge of the martial arts arena, so many people escaped death, which was really the blessing of the eldest lady and Chief Qin." ”

I see, Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi nodded, they were in a much better mood when they heard that they had inadvertently saved someone.

The workshops affected by the explosion have collapsed a lot, not to mention the powder magazine at the explosion site, a large warehouse has become a pile of rubble, and a big pit in the middle is the center of the explosion.

The heat wave hits, the air is filled with smoke, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke lingers for a long time.

Seeing that there should be no survivors in this way, Ma Debao was not in a hurry to pick up this pile of garbage, and asked the soldiers to splash it with water, wait for the smoke to dissipate and the temperature to drop, and then use a hook and iron fork to pick it up.

The sound of explosions could be heard in Nanjing, 20 miles away, so Ma Debao ordered people to report to the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Chinese Army in Nanjing as soon as possible, and asked for punishment.

After a busy time, Miss Xu and Qin Lin suddenly disappeared, Ma Debao was so shocked that his back was drenched in cold sweat, and he looked around, but saw these two squatting on the ruins rummaging inch by inch, like two children playing with ants.
