Denison hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, General, I am really stupid below, and I can't think of how those houses can be used as a weapon to destroy the enemy. β
Raceno laughed and said, "Look at the houses, they are higher than the walls, and if our men enter the houses and go up to the roof, they can shoot at the walls and snipe the people inside the walls, just as a matador's sword pierces the heart of a rampaging bull!" It seems that the people inside the walls do not understand military affairs at all, and they do not even understand the occupation of commanding heights. β
Then a captain officer came up to Raceno and said aloud: "General, I am willing to lead the troops into those houses, occupy the roofs, and shoot inside the walls." β
Racheno, laughing, pointed to the captain officer and said to Denison, "This is my Captain Larry, and his troops are full of sharpshooters, and everyone has eagle-like eyes and Robin Hood-like marksmanship. Then he turned to Captain Larry and said, "Let's do it." β
Captain Larry led a dozen soldiers to rush to a room, with the experience of Major Raul being annihilated by Lin Fei's troops, they all knew that the enemy had guns, so they all lowered their bodies and ran very fast, and soon came to the outside of a room, Captain Larry was worried that there was an ambush in the house, so he waved over a soldier and asked the soldier to open the door first.
The soldier came to the door, hid his body on the wall next to the door, reached out and pushed the door hard, and at this moment, only a loud "boom" was heard from inside the house, and Captain Larry only felt a wave of air coming, and his body flew out like a fallen leaf in a strong wind, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.
It turned out that Lin Fei deliberately vacated these rooms, and there were nitroglycerin explosive packs in each room, and the door was connected to a fire pipe, which was made of bamboo tubes, the bamboo came from the island, and the main part of it was made of matches, which were seized from the Spanish guards.
When the Spaniards pushed the door, it pushed the match head against the phosphosphor paper, creating a flame, which in turn ignited the fine hemp rope soaked in nitroglycerin, directly detonating the nitroglycerin explosive pack, which is how Captain Larry heard the explosion.
The surviving Spanish soldiers dragged back the bodies of Captain Larry and all ten Spanish soldiers, and Racherno frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" How did so many people die? β
An officer replied in a trembling voice: "Report to the general, the enemy has hidden explosives in the house!" Captain Larry and his men were killed. β
Racheno frowned and said, "Dynamite? Where did they get the explosives? Are you sure they were killed by explosives? β
The officer pointed to the corpse and said: "Look, General, there are no obvious external injuries on the corpse, blood is flowing from each mouth, and there are blue-purple patches under the skin, which were obviously directly killed by the shock wave generated by the explosion of explosives." β
Raceno turned back to Denison and said, "Isn't there no explosives on the island?" What's going on? β
Denison thought for a long time before he said: "There are bullets on the island, and there are nitrocellulose in the bullets, maybe they took out the nitrocellulose and made it into explosives." β
Raceno said angrily: "It's pure fart! The nitrocellulose inside the bullet has been passivated, and the explosion power is not so strong! What killed my men must have been explosives, where did the enemy get them? β
Denison said helplessly: "Could it be that they made it themselves?" β
Raceno snorted coldly and said, "How could they make explosives themselves?" β
Denison was speechless, Raceno pointed to the concrete wall with his hand, and said loudly: "No matter how much, the two attacks today missed, and the face of my Spanish Empire was lost, now I order, surround that wall, attack in an all-out way, and the first person to attack will be rewarded with five thousand pesos!" No, ten thousand! β
As soon as Raceno ordered, the Spanish army began to move, and the troops were ready to go, Lin Fei saw the movement of the Spanish army clearly inside the wall, and he said to Li Ming and Chen Jingui: "The Spaniards are going to attack in an all-out way, tell the brothers and prepare to fight." β
The crowd looked solemnly at the Spanish army that was about to charge, and at this time all the natives were in action, a hundred natives with guns raised their guns to the firing holes, and the others were holding harpoons and sharpened wooden sticks, ready to stab.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded in the rear of the Spanish army, and the Spanish army suddenly rushed to the concrete wall like a tide, and Lin Fei ordered in a loud voice: "Fight me!" β
The soldiers and natives shot together, and for a while the gunfire was loud, and the Spanish soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked down, but despite this, the rate of fire of the Mauser M1893 rifle was too slow to completely block the Spanish soldiers, and a large number of people rushed to the vicinity of the concrete wall and began to grab the bulge on the wall and climb towards the wall.
At this time, the natives, armed with harpoons and sharpened sticks, struck again, and used them to assassinate the Spanish soldiers, who for a time suffered heavy casualties, and did not dare to approach the wall, but they screamed and retreated, and fired at the wall, but the bullets could not penetrate the concrete wall at all.
RΓ‘ceno was furious when he saw that the attack was blocked, and immediately ordered: "The first person to storm the wall will be rewarded with a bounty of 20,000 pesos!" β
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, the Spanish soldiers were stimulated by the huge amount of 20,000 pesos, or they scrambled to climb to the top of the concrete wall, Lin Fei saw this scene and thought to himself: "It's time for our cannons to shoot!" β
Lin Fei walked quickly to the top of the ammunition depot, where Sun Yong had already prepared the tin wine barrel, propellant pack, and explosives pack, which were half-buried in the sandbags set up to counteract the recoil. At this time, Sun Yong said to Lin Fei: "Captain Lin, I have prepared these things according to your requirements!" The amount of propellant and explosive is exactly the same! β
Lin Fei had done it before, and now these portions could ensure that the explosives package would fall on the Spaniard's head, Lin Fei nodded and said, "Brother Sun, you go to the ammunition depot first, this 'barrel cannon' may be dangerous." β
Sun Yong said loudly: "Gun Commander, I will follow you when I am on the Zhiyuan ship, and I will go wherever you go!" If you die, I'll be the first to wipe your neck with you! β
Lin Fei's heart was hot, he said "good brother", picked up the torch on the side, ignited the propellant lead, the lead ignited the nitrocellulose, produced a large amount of gas, pushed the explosive bag and flew towards the Spanish soldiers, and the lead behind the explosive bag ignited, and the explosive bag flew more than fifty meters and landed in the middle of the Spanish soldiers.
When the explosives package landed, the lead had not yet burned out, and it was still "clanging", and a Spanish soldier was still looking down curiously, and at this time, the lead burned out, and two kilograms of nitroglycerin explosives in the explosive bag exploded!
This explosives package is completely different from the one in the house, Lin Fei added disassembled bullets and bullet shells to the explosives bag this time, these things played a role in killing fragments under the impetus of explosives, although the lethality is incomparable with the prefabricated anti-personnel fragments in the anti-personnel grenades in Lin Fei's era, but it is enough to kill and injure these Spaniards!
After an explosion, a group of Spaniards fell, all covered in blood, two of their legs were broken, and they were lying on the ground holding their broken legs and screaming heartbreakingly!
As soon as the "barrel cannon" was fired, the soldiers and natives inside the concrete wall let out a cheer, Lin Fei was also shocked, he fired another barrel cannon, and the Spaniards fell down again.
Racheno, who was in the distance, didn't know about the barrel cannon, and when he saw that his attacking troops had been blown down by something, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and secretly thought that this was not a cannon. Why do these people still use cannons? Who are they?
Lin Fei on the roof fired the barrel cannon again, but this "cannonball" made Lin Fei break out in a cold sweat! I saw that the explosive bag did not fly to the top of the Spaniard's head in the expected arc, but drew a curved arc and flew towards the location where Li Ming was located!
Lin Fei felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he shouted at Li Ming: "Hurry up and throw the explosives bag out!" But the battlefield was extremely noisy, no one heard Lin Fei's shout, at this critical moment of life and death, I saw a squad leader Niu Dalong rushing to the vicinity of the explosives bag with an arrow step, leaning over to pick up the explosives bag, and throwing the explosives bag out with a long arm, and then I heard a loud "boom" from outside the wall, the concrete wall was blown up to the rocks, and several people behind were also shocked out.
When Sun Yong saw the explosives bag falling on his side, he said in a panic: "Captain Lin, I did everything you ordered!" How can shells hit our own people? β
Lin Fei shook his head and said: "After all, the explosive package is not a shell, it is greatly affected by the air, and it is not strange to fly close!" Don't be afraid, let's keep fighting! β
Sun Yong hurriedly asked, "What if I hurt myself?" β
Lin Fei said firmly: "Now we can only fight with our lives!" β
At this moment, the Spaniards outside suddenly turned around and retreated, and all of them retreated to the www.biquge.info of the attacking Fabi Fun Pavilion, leaving dead bodies all over the ground, and the people behind the wall let out a cheer, but Lin Fei was thinking: "I don't know what tricks the Spaniards are going to play?"
In the woods, Racherno's face sank like water, his brows were furrowed, and the officers on the side were also sad, and after a while Racherno said, "These people have cannons!" What a terrible opponent! β
At this time, a staff officer said: "General, we also have artillery!" If the artillery is now transferred from the barracks, it should be delivered in three days. β
Raceno sneered and said: "Regardless of whether they are Katipunan or not, anyway, everyone thinks they are Katipnan, I lead two thousand people of the Royal Army, not only can I not destroy them, but I have to go back to the barracks to transfer artillery!" Will I still have the face to face in the future? β
The staff officer rolled his eyes and said, "General, we have artillery now!" How did you forget jΓ¬? β
