Chapter 116: Heaven and Earth Shaking (I)
Looking at the three simple grenades that looked like wine bottles in front of him, Gervais felt both a sense of accomplishment and a little worried, after all, he didn't know if he could successfully detonate these three grenades.
However, he felt that he was already a great pioneer, and this small step that he Gervais took was a big step for this world, and as for whether he had gone crookedly, Gervais didn't know.
"Anna, you go find two manservants to come and help me get something!"
If the experiment is successful, it means that the black powder he made is feasible, just wait for the musket to be ready, and as for this simple grenade, you can also find a way to wrap a few pieces of iron sheets, so that the power should be greater, in case of emergency.
"Yes, sir!"
Anna's little maid hurriedly took the order, in fact, she thought that if the lord just took the three clay pots, she could help, but since the lord ordered, Anna would not refute, and the lord must have a reason to do this.
Gervais is indeed very reasonable, because he thinks this thing is a bit dangerous, it is a murder weapon, Anna's delicate little maid, Gervais feels that there is no need to touch her.
And although these three simple grenades are small, the leads on them are a little long, and the shortest ones are more than two meters, and a person can only take one at most, otherwise if the lead is broken, this grenade will have to be remade.
"Your Excellency!"
Soon, Anna came to the mill with two male servants.
Gervais looked at the two manservants, one of whom was Johnny Slippers, who had spotted the three Bennies infiltrating the castle.
"You two come here, take one for each of these clay pots, hold it firmly and don't knock or fall to the ground, it's very dangerous, by the way, be careful not to break this thread on this!"
Gervais took an improvised grenade and placed it in Johnny's hand, teaching him how to hold it and what to do.
"Yes, sir!"
Johnny and the other manservant nodded hurriedly, Johnny pushed the small clay pot into his arms, and the other hand carefully held the lead that had been folded, although Johnny didn't know where the danger of this small jar came from, but since the adults said that they couldn't bump into it, it was absolutely right to put it in their arms.
Soon, Gervais handed another improvised grenade to the mantai.
"Go, you follow me."
After taking the last remaining improvised grenade in his hand, Gervais led the three out of the mill and towards the castle gates.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
When Gervais came down the gentle slope, Laurie and Audri were already waiting for Gervais with thirty guards.
"Well, the training will be carried out later, now it will be lined up in three columns, according to the steps I taught you yesterday, follow me to see something."
If the improvised grenade in his hand works well, Gervais will definitely get some equipment for them in the future, so it's good to let them see it in advance.
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Gervais's order, Laurie and the others hurriedly arranged a team of recruits, and ordered the recruits to follow behind Gervais with the half-baked instructions they had learned from Gervais yesterday, such as looking to the right and turning to the left.
"My lord, what are you holding? Subordinates can help you get it! ”
Laurie went to shout slogans to arrange recruits, but Audri followed Gervais, and when he saw Gervais holding a clay pot in his hand, he immediately wanted to help Gervais get it.
"No, Audrey, this thing is a very powerful weapon, and it's still being experimented, so you'll find out later."
Because the lead was too long and easily damaged, Gervais refused Audrey's courtesy and told him the purpose of the small clay pot in his hand.
"Weapons? Still amazing? ”
Audri was a little stunned, this small clay pot is too brittle to smash people, he can do it with one punch when he is ruthless, he really can't think of anything powerful, but he doesn't dare to question the lord's words, and he is very impressed with Gervais's roasted oysters, so although he is puzzled, he is also looking forward to what Gervais said.
The place where Gervais chose to experiment with these improvised bombs is not far away, just a few hundred meters outside the gentle slope of the castle, there is a large open space, these places used to be cultivated land, cultivated land dedicated to providing supplies for the castle, but there has been no lord for many years, so the cultivated land has been barren, fortunately, the weeds have been cut by Thomas a few days ago, so now it is a bare mud field, just for Gervais to experiment here.
"Alright, you're all standing here."
Arriving at the clearing, Gervais stopped everyone who was following him.
"Johnny, you two put things on that haystack, be careful!"
After Johnny and another manservant placed the two improvised bombs on the soft grass, Gervais looked at the crowd and continued, "Now you are all standing here, you are not allowed to take a step forward, and when I run back, you will immediately cover your ears, you know?" ”
"Got it, sir!"
Everyone replied in unison, although they didn't know why the lord asked them to cover their ears, but since it was the lord's order, they just had to listen.
"Excellent! Anna, I'm going to have to cover my ears in a minute! ”
Receiving everyone's answers, Gervais nodded with satisfaction, and finally saw the only woman standing beside him, and told Anna again in a soft tone, those rough men, if they don't listen to his warning, they deserve to be scared out of urine, but it's not good to scare their delicate little maid, Gervais is still very aristocratic in this regard.
After speaking, Gervais took the simple grenade in his hand and ran to the center of the clearing, and after running more than forty meters, Gervais stopped, picked it in the ground with a long sword, and immediately a small pit of more than thirty centimeters appeared, Gervais directly put the homemade bomb into it, and then filled back the excavated soil.
Because he was worried that the lead would be damaged, Gervais did not compact the backfilled soil, but directly pulled the lead two meters away, looked back at everyone, and saw that they were all looking at him curiously, and no one stepped forward, so he took out the fire and lit the lead.
Hiss~
When the fuse was ignited, it quickly began to burn, and Gervais did not dare to slack off, and quickly turned around and ran towards everyone.
When Gervais ran back, everyone remembered Gervais's explanation, and they covered their ears with their hands, looking forward to what incredible things would happen later.
After Gervais returned quickly, he immediately covered his ears, expecting the explosion of the improvised grenade, and whispered the numbers in his mouth.
