Chapter 298: Digging Mines

Sha Dingzhou watched from the sidelines as everyone happily dug mines.

I was happy in my heart.

He had read this thing in a book by chance, and as long as he didn't trigger the mechanism inside, he wouldn't blow it up, and he could bury it in the ground and reuse it after digging it up.

It is estimated that there will be more than a dozen mines on this section of the road in front of me, and if all of them are dug up, they will be used against those white pole soldiers.

It's a pleasant scene to think about.

"Dig it out!" One of the soldiers shouted excitedly.

Rumble!

Several onlookers were blown away in an instant, with shrapnel on their bodies and faces. Those who were a little farther away were also affected, and they were jumped on their bodies by the broken iron slag from the mines, and after suffering from the pain, they shook involuntarily, and when they stepped on the mines, they caused an explosion again.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The explosion caused a chain reaction, and dozens of soldiers surrounding a dozen mines were all affected by the explosion. Far away, after the first explosion sounded, he fell to the ground wittily, unharmed.

Tilting less, and when everything was calm, Sha Dingzhou slowly stood up.

Just one glance made him angry.

None of the dozens of people who were tired of digging together could stand. Some died on the spot, some were still struggling, and it seemed that they had more air in and less air out, and they were not saved. Others were slightly less injured and were lying on the ground wailing in pain.

"Carry the wounded out, stop the bleeding immediately, and treat them." After a pause, he continued. "If you can't save him, give him a ride."

What's going on?

Why does the dug up still explode?

Sha Dingzhou stood there and thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he walked up to a wounded man who was not seriously injured and asked what had just happened.

"Young master, just now Bu Yue had already dug the steel wheel out of the ground, but somehow, it still exploded."

"Are you sure you dug it out? Didn't touch the trap? Sha Dingzhou frowned.

"Sure! And I saw that Bu Yue was holding out the steel wheel with both hands, and he didn't touch the mechanism on it at all. ”

"So what's going on..."

Just when Sha Dingzhou was puzzled, a blind soldier next to him said weakly:

"Young master, that thing was fried in the soil."

"Fried in the dirt?"

"Yes, I looked very carefully, I saw that there was a faint line under the fire of the steel wheel that Bu Yue was holding, and I was about to go over to take a look, and that thing exploded, and my eyes were so blind."

......

Looking at the dozen or so soldiers in front of him who were wailing in pain due to their injuries, Sha Dingzhou was speechless for a while.

Just now they were triumphantly asked to dig mines, and now the mines have exploded.

These guys in the court are so cunning!

It's shameless!

"Young master, are you still digging?" A soldier asked, pointing to a mine in the distance.

Sha Dingzhou looked at the wounded, and then at the slightly frightened soldiers. In the end, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind.

"Dig! Pay attention, dig out the thunder and see if there is a line underneath. But who wants to go alone? ”

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks.

Digging this thing is not digging up fungus, if you are not careful, you will die.

"A thousand taels of silver! The reward for successfully digging up a mine is 1,000 taels of silver! There are dead too! Sha Dingzhou shouted loudly.

As soon as the price went up, so did the people. A bold man stepped forward, walked to the minefield, pinpointed a mine, sat on his knees and dug it carefully.

In a few moments, the full picture of the round mines was revealed.

The soldier carefully lowered his knife, gently picked up the mine by about two inches, and then looked sideways down.

"Is there a wire!?" Sha Dingzhou, who was in the distance, watched his movements and asked in a loud voice.

"Yes! There's also Thunder down there! One more person! ”

After Sha Dingzhou promised the same reward as him, another person stepped forward, knelt beside him, and slowly dug out the mines below.

The two men carefully held it out.

"There was no explosion! Hahaha! ”

Sha Dingzhou shouted excitedly. "Brethren! Dig! Just dig like this! Dig up a thunder and reward you with a hundred taels of silver! ”

As soon as everyone heard this, thirty or forty people ran out of the team again and ran over to dig mines.

In pairs, start digging over the freshly turned soil.

One thunder, well, wired, two. Haha、Dig it out! Two hundred taels in hand!

Rumble!

Boom Boom!

The scene just now is repeated again. Thirty or forty people were blown up, killed, and wounded.

The scene in front of him made Sha Dingzhou almost unable to control his anger.

"Help! Help! ”

Looking at the dead or wounded soldiers, Sha Dingzhou was about to cry.

I didn't even touch the enemy's hair, and I died dozens of times.

Treat others the way they do, and return a fart!

"How many died?"

"Twenty-two!"

Sha Dingzhou was silent.

"Young master, are you still digging?"

"Don't dig anymore."

How else is this dug in? Dig out the top and fry the bottom. Dig out below, and there's still below. It's so shameless, it's shameless. No more playing.

"Go back, don't chase it."

Sha Dingzhou gave the order in a dejected manner.

Two or three miles away from them, by the river, Ma Xianglin was smiling and listening to the explosion in the distance.

There have been three waves of explosions in the distance, the first wave of short duration and the second and third waves for a long time. Indicates that the last two sets of mines are triggered more.

With the power of this mine, it is not too easy to kill dozens of people, and the rest, if they do not die, will have to lose their combat effectiveness.

After waiting for a while, there was no more explosion, and he thought quietly for a while, then turned around again and walked towards the place where the explosion occurred.

The mine did not explode again, there are only two possibilities.

The other party has completely cracked this true and false thunder. Or they avoided the minefield and continued the pursuit, or they simply retreated.

Either way, the other party is very likely to attrition, and he wants to see if there is a chance to give the other party a chance.

Ma Xianglin took the lead and marched quickly along the road just now.

Soon after, the rebel sentry discovered their movements and immediately reported them to Sha Dingzhou.

Sha Dingzhou was slowly walking back along the river, and there were dozens of wounded in the team, and it was inconvenient to walk in the mountains. The most important thing is that he didn't expect Ma Xianglin to be so heartbroken and have the courage to come back.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, his first reaction was to run, because he couldn't beat the other party at all. But there were dozens of wounded in the team, and there was no way to speed up.

"Young master, these wounded...", a subordinate was embarrassed.

Sha Dingzhou glanced at him. To be honest, he also wanted to order them to be thrown here, but the problem was that the impact was too bad.

The enemy has no shadow, and the main general will throw the wounded and flee, who will dare to fight with you in the future?

After a while, Sha Dingzhou made up his mind.

"Drill into the mountains."

The wounded can't be lost, and now they can only pray that the other party will not dare to enter the mountain to pursue.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ma Xianglin came to the place where he had just entered the mountain.

"They're in the mountains." Ma Xianglin looked at the traces left by the troops in Shadingzhou at the foot of the mountain and said.

"General, do you want to chase or not?"

"Chase!" Ma Xianglin pondered for a moment and gave the order to pursue.

Although he only brought 500 people, he was not worried about being surrounded and suppressed by the other party. His confidence stems from the grenades that every soldier has. This is also the reason why he dared to go deep alone with only 500 people. Lure the opponent's brigade to come to encircle and suppress, and take the opportunity to consume the opponent's main force.

It was extremely difficult to walk in the mountains, but the special spears of the white pole soldiers played a certain role, and they got closer and closer to Shadingzhou.

Sha Dingzhou began to get anxious.

If this continues, they will inevitably be caught up by the other party, but they will lose more manpower. He thought quickly, and looked at the wounded who were either being carried or carrying. Gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Put down the wounded and go full speed!"

Sha Dingzhou finally decided to let go of the wounded. But it caused a wail from the wounded. It may be taken away

If you have a chance to live, if you are left here, you will surely die.

"Young master, we will follow you and the master from birth to death, please don't leave us."

The wounded kept wailing, but Sha Dingzhou was unmoved, leaving the wounded who could not move and resolutely left.

Without the wounded who pulled their hind legs, their speed suddenly increased, and with their familiarity with the terrain, a group of people quickly disappeared.

Soon, Ma Xianglin led people to the place where the wounded were discarded.

I saw the wounded lying on the ground in despair, and a rough count showed that there were more than forty people.

Some have broken arms, some have broken legs. There are also blind and rotten noses.

Ma Xianglin looked at the group of abandoned soldiers, and was about to order them all to be killed, but after thinking about it, he turned his head and said to the deputy beside him:

"Take them away and go back to the camp for treatment."

"General? Wouldn't it be enough to kill them? Why save them? ”

"It's true that they are rebels, but they are also a group of poor people whose fate is in the hands of others. Save them. ”

Ma Xianglin said with pity on his face.
