Chapter 18: Explosive Traps

In the study on the second floor of Fort St. More, after the soldiers removed the bookshelves, a swarthy entrance was revealed, a secret passage that only allowed one person to pass through.

The people carried oil lamps down the stone steps one after another, and there were no forks in the way of the passage, until they reached a slightly empty place.

What appeared in front of everyone was a narrow, almost ditched, man-made river channel dug from the interior. The river leads to the lake outside the castle, and at the end of the inner channel there are more than a dozen small wooden boats.

It seems that this is a small dock in seclusion.

"Comrade Mika, do you know how to row?"

Seeing the small wooden boat in the dark passage, Huang Luofeng suddenly wanted to take a boat on the lake on a whim, he hadn't been on this kind of boat for many years, and he really wanted to relive it.

That's right, after the victory, he began to wave again.

Mika was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, my lord." ”

"Then you come on a boat, and let's take a tour of the night view of the lake." As he spoke, Huang Luofeng sat on a small wooden boat.

Mika smiled: "It's my pleasure to serve you. ”

Huang Luofeng said to the other soldiers: "You search around again to see if there are any hidden places that have not been found, such as secret doors leading to other secret places." ”

As Mika swung the oars, the wooden boat slowly rowed out of the castle.

The river is covered by deliberately planted vegetation on both sides of the river, making it difficult for enemies to spot the dark river from outside.

The small wooden boat sailed into the lake, and Huang Luofeng suddenly had an idea in his heart: If you put a hot pot on this boat, and everyone eats hot pot while enjoying the scenery, don't be too nice.

The fresh breeze on the lake can relieve the heat, and you can also fish by the way, clean and cut the fish into thin slices after catching them, and then throw them directly into the hot pot to eat fresh and delicious shabu-shabu fillets.

What Huang Luofeng didn't know was that when he was imagining a comfortable life, the enemy's vicious strategy was quietly going on.

In the undiscovered underground palace of the ChΓ’teau de Saint-Maur, a candle is about to burn out, and its bottom is sprinkled with gunpowder, which is connected to countless barrels of explosives......

After rowing the small wooden boat to the center of the lake, Huang Luofeng asked Mika to lower the oars and let him drift naturally. The surrounding crystal clear lake water sparkles in the moonlight, and the shrub forest on the shore in the distance is lush.

"Just because you're too beautiful baby, just because you're so beautiful baby, just because you're too beautiful baby, you coming in front of me make me so impatient, I have never had this feeling ...... One more look and it will explode. Seeing this beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but hum a pop song that the people liked to see.

"Your Excellency, are you ...... Chanting? Mika looked dazed, "Is it a spell?" ”

"That's right." Huang Luofeng is serious.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly ......

Boom β€”β€”!

An earth-shattering bang was heard.

Huang Luofeng sat at the front of the small wooden boat, facing the direction of Fort St. More, and he saw an astonishing sight - Fort St. Mor in the distance collapsed in an instant, stirring up a monstrous amount of dust, and fire and smoke rose from the ruins.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wave hit the lake, and the small wooden boat shook violently, and Huang Luofeng hurriedly grabbed the edge of the boat to keep himself from falling into the water.

"! What the heck? Huang Luofeng exclaimed.

Mika looked back when she heard this, and was immediately stunned.

He was dumbfounded and stammered, "My lord, what ......is this?" This is your mantra...... Guide...... Caused? ”

Did this guy misunderstand something?

Wait, that's a big misunderstanding! Really, it happened to explode at this time.

"When...... Of course not! Huang Luofeng hurriedly denied it, "How could I do such a thing?" How is it possible to blow up your own people for no reason? If you don't believe me, I can swear to God that I was the one who caused the explosion just now! ”

"Then ......," Mika mused, "Lord Prophet, did you foresee an explosion and let me row?" ”

Huang Luofeng didn't expect the other party's association to be so strong, Mika asked like this, and then said that it would be too low to say that he didn't foresee it, so he had to make up a rhetoric.

"No, I didn't foresee an explosion at Fort St. Mor, I just had a feeling of urgency to get a boat out into the lake." Huang Luofeng pretended to be full of remorse, "Damn! If only I had been cautious. ”

Seeing the Prophet's expression of self-reproach, Mika comforted, "Everything has happened, and you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault, who would have thought that the Knights Templar would be able to do this?" ”

"Yes! I didn't expect the Knights Templar to be so violent, but I was careless. Huang Luofeng sighed, "It should be the Knights Templar who planted explosives in the castle in advance, and when Fort St. Mor was captured by us, they detonated it, and then made Fort St. Mor the tomb of the leadership of the King's Army in one fell swoop." ”

He was now very frightened that if he hadn't decided to take a boat trip to the lake on a whim, he would have been buried in the ruins of Fort Saint-More.

The two quickly rowed back to shore and ran to the scene to inspect the aftermath of the explosion.

In front of the ruins of Fort Saint-Maur, the officers who had been camped outside the castle had already arrived, and they were organizing soldiers to search for the survivors in the ruins.

"How's it going?" Huang Luofeng asked an officer.

The officer replied with an ugly face: "The situation is very bad, not counting the minor wounded on the periphery, so far we have only rescued two seriously injured people." Nearly half of the officers of all levels remained in the castle, as well as more than 300 soldiers, and all the high-ranking members of the revolutionary faction were imprisoned in it. ”

Huang Luofeng said to Mika: "You rush back to Paris first, and let the relevant officials immediately arrange medical care and excavation personnel to come here." ”

"Good!" Mika nodded in response, "What about you, my lord?" ”

"I'm going to have to stay here." Huang Luofeng smiled bitterly, "Although it can't help much, after all, I am nominally a commander, so I can't leave at such a moment." ”

"It's going to be a sleepless night." Watching Mika ride away, he looked up to the sky and muttered.

About two hours later, Mika returned with a long procession of carriages.

Medical tents were quickly erected, and the seriously wounded were first taken to the tents by the soldiers for emergency surgery by doctors, and since few survivors were rescued from the rubble, most of the wounded were treated in time.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations and screams from the prisoner camp.

It turned out that several soldiers who had lost their comrades and were grief-stricken broke into the prisoner camp.

The soldiers frantically slaughtered the captives with bayonets to vent their anger, believing that the explosion at Fort Saint-Mor was a trap set by the revolutionary army, and naturally turned their anger on these captives.
