456 Disaster
The train to the Land of Hope was approaching rapidly, and Cousy was lying behind a boulder and watching, the column of smoke from the train on the horizon had been captured by his vision, Cousy was excited, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he said, "Here it is, get ready." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
His face was calm, but his eyes shone with a fiery light, and in Couchy's opinion, this action was the beginning of the rise of the Apache people. From the time Esquart returned to the tribe more than a year ago, Cousie saw the difference between Esquart, admired Esquart's wisdom and courage, and firmly believed that Esquart could lead the Apaches.
Esquart once told Cussi that the Apache had lived in this old way for generations, and that there had been little progress for thousands of years. But now the changes in the outside world have forced the Apache people to change, and the Apache must use all ways and means to fight for their right to live, otherwise the end will be very miserable.
It can be said that Esquart is simply an unborn genius of Apache, although he does not have a special educational environment and does not understand the cultural knowledge of the outside world, but he has a special insight and amazing understanding. His vision can even surpass many other Qing intellectuals after 1840, and through the relationship between prey and hunters in nature, he naturally understands the truth that backwardness means being beaten. He knew the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the power of the Spaniards, if the Apache people did not change, the Tang people or the Europeans would slowly extend their power, and eventually the homeland of the Apache people would be forcibly occupied by them, and the Apache people would be enslaved and oppressed.
Therefore, Esquart wanted to show the power of Apache and, most importantly, his determination and will to fight. It made the great powers feel fearful and jealous. If his plan finally comes to fruition. The Tang people really provided the Apache tribes with supplies and other things in the form of tolls or tribute. Then Apache will be able to achieve new developments.
Esquart's ultimate goal is to build Apache into a military state, and through military operations, obtain the materials needed by the country. In fact, his model is very similar to that of the nomads of the feudal era, but in the end Esquart still does not understand the power of industry and civilization. Believe that looting can bring success.
Coussi believed in Esquart's dream that Esquart would be able to unite the seven tribes of Apache and establish a true nation. An Apache Empire.
In fact, many of the Apache youths who followed Esquart were because they listened to Esquart's words, and Esquart had an inexplicable incitement and was able to successfully influence a group of people to work for him, which is also his strength.
Watching the train rush by, Coussi seemed to see that the mighty empire was being formed, and Kina had lit the fuse with a match, which was naturally still produced in the Tang Dynasty, and had quickly replaced the flint used for lightening in many parts of the world. The Indians also obtained these convenient ignitions through the Spaniards, and now they are used against the Tang Dynasty.
The fuse to which the explosive package is connected is relatively long. So it takes a while to burn through, and the Apache don't have wire-controlled detonation bombs like the Dons. So it's more troublesome. At the same time, the Apache could not allow the train to run over it, which would have damaged the explosive pack. Of course, maybe the explosives are sensitive enough, or they can explode directly. Cousy and the others still had to detonate as early as possible, because at this distance, it was basically impossible for the train to brake in time.
A group of Apache men stared at the fuse, which was burning shorter and shorter, and spread towards the explosives pack, all with some trepidation, as the train drew closer.
1000 meters.
800 meters.
500 meters.
200 meters.
Even Cussi felt a little nervous, only to hear a loud bang, and the dazzling light of the fire drove a powerful shock wave to spread, directly blasting the rails on the ground into the air, like curled steel bars, very scary.
The conductor who was driving the train did not expect such a thing at all, although he pulled the brake lever sharply at the first time, but this distance was too short, and a train traveling at the highest speed could not stop at such a short distance.
As if it had been slapped over by a giant hand, a wagon erupted with a piercing screech the moment it touched the deformed rails, and then flipped over to the side. The passengers in the carriage had no idea what was happening, and the tumbling train was thrown flying by the huge force, screams and fears suddenly erupted, and the bodies that hit everywhere in mid-air spilled blood, sharp objects pierced people's organs, and finally landed even heavier.
"Wow la-la-la!! "The Apaches, on the other hand, jumped out and shouted as if they had reached a climax, as if they had won a great victory. Coussy took the lead with a musket in his hand, but before he could take a few steps, there was another loud bang at the locomotive.
The boiler exploded, and the boiler room personnel who were killed or injured in the overturn just now were gone. The conductor and the others had already died in the impact just now. After the high-speed train derailed, its kinetic energy was converted into a terrible lethality, like putting a pudding in a closed lunch box, and then shaking vigorously, when the lunch box was opened again, the pudding inside must have been broken.
The explosion also startled Cussy, so that he no longer dared to approach the train, and the flames began to burn, spreading all the way down the carriage.
Coussy didn't care about the life or death of the people in the carriage at all, he just said with some pity: "In this way, I'm afraid that there are no good things to get my hands on, and I thought I could earn a vote." ”
Keena said: "There won't be anything, this is a passenger car, it's full of people, I'm afraid we'll kill hundreds of Tang people this time!" ”
Unbeknownst to them, the incident killed and injured a total of 263 new immigrant passengers and train staff, after which some surviving passengers tried to climb out of the carriage, and instead of rescuing them, the Apache group continued to set fire to the accident train. More than an hour later, a railway company's escort team arrived at the scene without receiving any news from the K9704 train, and all they saw was a still burning train.
The Apache cavalry made a surprise attack on them at this time, but fortunately, the road escort team was scouting this time, and they were in an off-road vehicle and successfully withdrew.
But not a single person survived this train.
263 people. (To be continued.) )
