Chapter 480
The marching brigade was forced to stop by the explosion, and soon a soldier came to report that the front army had left well and suddenly an explosion occurred. A dozen people walking in the front were killed and injured. They were forced to stop because of unknown circumstances. Biqu W.
'BiQuGe.
CN Suodu was surprised to receive the report, so he went to check it out in person. When he saw that a pit of earth with a radius of ten feet appeared on the road. The injured had been carried away. Several war horses were lying on the edge of the pit with their stomachs pierced intestines, and several dead bodies were also incompletely placed on the side. They looked very miserable. The soldiers watching were all ashamed. I don’t know if they were glad that they had walked behind to escape the disaster or were scared to death.
Suodu dismounted and checked, and it was found that the explosion was indeed born from the ground. There were countless people and cars passing by on the flat road a day. Why did his army explode when they came here? As long as they were not fools, they could tell that it was the Song army who was the one who did it after a little thought. But this monster was really clever. They couldn't figure out how the Song army could make thunder in the flat ground.
Quanzhou is near, and you can't return to the original way for an explosion. Suodu ordered to continue moving forward, of course he would not walk ahead. But after thirty steps, another explosion sounded, and a smoke of gunpowder rose. When the smoke and dust disappeared, everyone saw that all the five people who were walking in front were lying there, but there were still some who were not dead, and they cried loudly. The few people behind quickly stepped forward to rescue him, but they didn't expect that the explosion sounded again as soon as they walked to the side. Four lay down and three, and only one escaped with a bloody leg.
"But there are other roads leading to Quanzhou!" Seeing the sound of the flat mines with his own eyes, seven of them killed. The cold sweat of Sodu also came down. He did not dare to ask the sentry beside him again.
"Report to the general, there is a way to get back three miles to Quanzhou, but you have to go ten miles more!" the spy replied.
"Well, go back and take a detour!" Sodu thought about how many inexplicable things were waiting for them in front. Because they were blown to death one after another and blocked here, it would be better to make more roads to arrive in Quanzhou early...
The navy camp was located on a sandbank in the inland sea of Quanzhou. It was busy at this moment. The craftsmen of the navy's baggage camp were transforming more than a dozen flat-bottomed boats moored on the dock. They were busy setting up brackets on the boat, increasing the hull as a whole, laying wooden boards, building corridors, and installing roof covers. Another team of craftsmen processed the cut wood into a huge raft with only simple defense measures on it, but a large wood of two feet thick and four or five feet high was erected on it, just like a mast on a boat. Another group of people on the shore were nailing some huge wooden boxes, but it looked more like a sedan chair that must have no sedan rods.
"Your Majesty, these are warships transformed according to your design and rafts. They will be completed in two days!" Zhou Xiangbian accompanied His Majesty to check, and said with a smile.
"The 16th day is a tide. We must finish it before this. If it is delayed, you will chop your head!" Zhao Bing jumped over a crossbar with his short legs, twisted his face and raised his head.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, when will I miss it? If I can't finish this time, I will chop my head as soon as possible and kick it as a ball!" Zhou Xiang immediately bent down and tried to make himself lower than Your Majesty. Unfortunately, his belly was too big and his face turned red and he couldn't do it, but it did not delay his confession of his determination.
"Well, fortunately, I brought you here. If I conquer Quanzhou, I will reward you with a house and let you choose any treasure in Pu Shougen's private warehouse. How about it?" Zhao Bing liked Zhou Xiang from the bottom of his heart. Of course, this does not mean that he likes flatterers, but he loves this "peer-in-one" who always has a way to complete the tasks he assigned, and is funny and able to talk.
"Then I thank Your Majesty first!" Zhou Xiang took two steps back and said with a deep respect. He knew that with the influx of a large number of officials in Qiongzhou Prefecture, it was hard to find a house. It was not much worse than Bianjing and Lin'an back then. I don't know how many princes and ministers you can reward him with a large mansion. Pu Shougeng's family has a huge amount of money, and the private treasury must be hidden in all the priceless treasures. Your Majesty asked him to choose any one of them to show his affection!
"The war has not been fought yet, and the result is unknown. Why are you thanking me first?" Zhao Bing asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hey, Your Majesty is in charge of the battle. That time it won't be a complete victory. I'm afraid I'll thank you too late!" Zhou Xiang smiled and said with a groan on his face, "Besides, Your Majesty has designed this powerful weapon to attack the city. Even the person who doesn't know the situation can see clearly. With this thing, you can send the army to the top of the city in a very short time, and Quanzhou City can be broken in an instant!"
"Okay, then I'll lend you auspicious words, and I will definitely fulfill my promise!" Zhao Bing smiled and patted Zhou Xiang's shoulder, who was bent down hard.
"Your Majesty, I just arrived urgently, and Sudu has entered the territory of Quanzhou!" At this time, Ni Liang trotted over and said.
"Oh, how many roads have they walked today?" Zhao Bing asked.
"They have walked less than five miles and are still wandering around now!" Ni Liang replied.
"Haha, Lao Zhou, we succeeded!" Zhao Bing said to Zhou Xiang with a big laugh after hearing this.
"Your Majesty is saying..." Old Zhou was flattered by Zhou Xiang, and he shook his head to wake him up.
"Yes, it is the mines created before. Now it's so hot that I can't find the north. If you don't walk along the road, you're going around in circles!" Zhao Bing patted Zhou Xiang's fat face and said.
"Oh, Your Majesty is such a godly man. Just taking out something can make the Tartars unable to move forward. My subordinates only regret that they have a pig brain and cannot share their worries for Your Majesty!" Zhou Xiang was unhappy and said with a drooping face and a father-dead death.
"Haha, without your help, my ideas can only be left on the drawings. Do we have our own strengths?" Zhao Bing said half comforting and half jokingly when he knew this guy was making trouble.
This mine was reproduced by Zhao Bing when he was idle in Yashan. He wanted to create mines to block the sea surface to block Zhang Hongfan's water army, but what he made according to memories often exploded when he encountered wind and waves. After thinking about it, he still couldn't make a suitable spring to control the strength. As a fuse for fire, he finally changed the original design to a mine.
