Chapter 404: The Mules Who Bravely Sacrificed
Seeing that Zheng Jun was leading a group of mules and donkeys, the soldiers in charge of observing the enemy situation immediately reported to Yin Guoding.
"Grandpa, they led a bunch of donkeys!" After hearing this, Yin Guoding said to Mu Tianbo with a strange expression.
"Donkey? What for?"
"I'm afraid it's used to wade through thunder."
"Let's go, we'll see."
Mu Tianbo took the lead in walking towards the collapsed wall.
Speaking of which, Zheng Kai's cannon still worked, at least the wall had been blown away by him. If there are really dozens of such cannons, it is impossible to say that they really have to retreat to avoid the edge for the time being.
Mu Tianbo thought as he walked, and waited until he came to Gao to take a look.
Scold~
Boy!
The other party really got dozens of mules to stand in front of the minefield, and it seemed that they really planned to use the mules to drive the mine.
"Yin Qianhu, is it useful to drive the mules to the thunder?"
"It works. Whether it is stepping on a thunder or tripping a thunder, it actually needs to be triggered by an external force, and the body of a donkey is much heavier than that of a human, so it is naturally useful to step on it."
"So, our minefield is about to be broken?"
"It should be, grandpa, they can attack after the minefield, order the soldiers to prepare for battle."
"Okay!"
Mu Tianbo asked the soldiers around him to convey his instructions, but he didn't mean to move his steps.
"Grandpa, this is?" Yin Guoding looked at Mu Tianbo suspiciously.
This person is about to attack, what are you still doing standing here?
"I'll see later."
Mu Tianbo scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
He was a little curious, not knowing how these guys were going to manipulate the mules.
Having said that, it is probably the first time in ancient times that a mule has stepped on a landmine, right?
Seeing that he didn't want to leave, Yin Guoding didn't say anything, anyway, the enemy was still far away and had time to evacuate. It's no wonder that Mu Tianbo is curious, isn't the reason why he is standing here and not leaving?
The two of them looked at the mules in front of the minefield with binoculars in hand.
Zheng Kai did not disappoint them, and with an order, the soldiers in charge of leading the mules raised their whips one after another.
Syllable~
A series of whips were remembered, and the mules were in pain, and they opened their hooves and ran forward with joy.
The mule in the front row had not gone far before he stepped on a mine.
With a loud bang, the front hooves of a mule were blown up and flew high, and its body immediately lost its balance and plunged headlong into the ground, but inertia caused it to continue to slide forward, and another tripping thunder was stumbled.
The roar sounded again, and the mule completely returned to the west, and the mule's head was also blown away, and it just fell in front of Zheng Kai.
The two huge eyes opened round, as if to say:
"Why did you do this to me?"
Its companions ignored its death, and the sound of the explosion caused them to panic and flee in all directions. But seeing his companions killed, those in the back did not dare to go forward.
The animal's instinct tells them that there is danger ahead and that they must not come close.
Then there was a hilarious scene, the mules behind were afraid of death, and they all ran frantically to the back, and the unsuspecting soldiers were overturned on their backs. By the time a group of people reacted, the mules had run away!
"Quick! Hurry up and chase it!" Zheng Kai dodged a grinning mule, and angrily commanded the soldiers beside him. So the soldiers ran after the mules again, and for a time the camp in front of the minefield was in chaos.
By the time it had calmed down, the mules had already been tied up.
When they were pulled back to the minefield, they all retreated desperately, and they couldn't be whipped any way.
Even before some of them finally pulled down the minefield, they were already scared to pee!
"What should I do?"
Thunder didn't make much of a trip, but the mules were frightened, and there were few who could carry the matter. Zheng Kai's lungs were about to explode.
"Hu Lao Er! You said!
What should I do!?"
Hu Lao came out of the crowd and said cautiously in a mocking look:
"General, it's normal for mules to be afraid of death, just blindfold them."
"What? Blindfolded and turned into a death mule team?" Zheng Kai asked with slanted eyes, and the people around him burst into laughter.
Hu Lao Er was embarrassed by what he said, and waited for everyone's laughter to stop for a while before he whispered.
"The death mule team is not enough, the mule is blindfolded, and it can't tell the direction, even if you are afraid, you can only run indiscriminately, maybe it can play an unexpected role."
After listening to it, Zheng Kai saw that what he said did not seem to be fake, so he pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Hu Lao Er, I'll believe you again, but if you fucking let the soldiers chase the mules, you'll roll back to the dragon for me!"
Then he ordered the soldiers to tie the mules' eyes with cloth again and pull them out of the minefield again.
There was another whip sound, and the mules were whipped ahead of them.
Thunder was still thinking that the mules were also killed one by one in the explosion, but because they were blindfolded and couldn't recognize the direction, most of them still ran in the direction of the checkpoint, and then more thunder was stepped on, and by the time all the attacking mules fell, they had advanced more than a hundred paces.
"Fuck! How many of these things did Akito arrange!! Zheng Kai roared angrily.
He felt that he had been angry more in the past two days than in the past year, and he was too aggrieved!
"Bring all the donkeys and mules!"
"No, General! Without the mules and donkeys, the artillery can't be pulled!" A general hurriedly persuaded.
"Pull your mother's cannon! When are you still pulling artillery! Go and pull the donkey!"
Under Zheng Kai's strong order, all the mules and donkeys were brought over, all blindfolded, and ran ahead of the whip.
They didn't know the extent of the minefield, Yin Guoding knew, and seeing that the other party had pulled so many mules, the smile on Yin Guoding's face dissipated a little.
"Grandpa, the other party should be able to rush through the minefield this time, and then it's time to fight."
"Well, the soldiers are ready."
"Let's go down, there's nothing to see."
The two turned and walked down the wall, returned to the formation, inspected their own arrangements, and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.
And outside, the heroic efforts of the mules finally brought light to Zheng Kai's side. When they saw a group of mules running happily on the flat ground, and there was no thunder to remember, the crowd that had been staring at the mules let out a violent cheer.
I knew that I had crossed a minefield, but if I didn't know, I thought the battle had been won.
"Everyone, listen to me! Assault on the whole army!"
Zheng Kai became excited, suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist, pointed to the direction of the Ming army behind the wall, and roared with all his strength to give the order to attack!
The soldiers marched in their already arranged formation, and they walked the path of the mules, gradually approaching the wall, which had long been crumbling under artillery bombardment.
In a few moments, the soldiers in the front row had already climbed the wall, and when they were excitedly preparing to kill, they found that they were facing a group of unusually quiet Ming troops.
