As Marin expected, the next morning, within a while, the super thick oak door at the south gate of Yevre Castle finally couldn't resist the 24-pound iron ball and was directly smashed into a big hole.
Then, this was useless. Because, behind the super thick oak door, there were blockages such as bricks and logs. In desperation, Marin had to order the artillery to continue bombardment...
However, the defenders in the castle were not idle at this time. Edor Wilmken was commanding the troops to demolish the house:
"Go, that house will be demolished, hurry up! All the bricks, stones and wood are piled up to the south gate..."
The shelling continued, but the bricks and wood piled up behind the south gate also increased...
The 24-pound iron ball hit the bricks and stones piled up behind the wooden door were also smashed into a big hole and extended inward. However, Marin also saw the thickness of the bricks and stones in the city gate through the telescope...
"Damn, what a thick layer is this bastard..."
Marin mobilized five three-pound cannons and shot the big hole in the door in a straight line, trying to break open the piles of bricks and stones, but it seemed that the effect was average...
"I would have liked the explosive pack that exploded these bricks and stones..." Marin murmured.
Although there are many bricks and stones piled up behind the door at this time, they are not glued and piled up, and they are not firmly connected. If a explosive pack is stuffed into the large hole behind the door, it will indeed be able to explode the bricks and stones. After all, those bricks and stones are just piles, not buildings.
Without further ado, Malin immediately decided to find an explosive pack...
Of course, he did not prepare a ready-made explosive pack. However, there was a powder barrel...
The containers of granular gunpowder used for cannons are oak barrels. The oak barrels are relatively thick, which is also for safety. After all, if the gunpowder barrel is damaged and leaked, and encounters Mars again, something big will happen. If you drill a small hole in the wall of the thick oak barrel and insert a fuse, it can also be considered a barrel-type explosive. Although it cannot keep up with the explosive power of smokeless gunpowder in later generations, it can be used only...
So, Malin found a carpenter soldier, collected carpenter tools from the house, found an iron cone, and began to drill holes on the wall of the wooden barrel...
Then, linen and bulk gunpowder were used to form a longer fuse...
Of course, none of these are the most important. The most important thing is that who can hold this powder barrel, hold it, stuff it into the door hole, and ignite it...
At this time, Malin needs to call on a brave Dong Cunrui...
Marin stood on the platform and started recruiting warriors with a dirt horn:
"Warriors, who among you is willing to carry a powder barrel into the city gate and ignite it? Who dares to go, I have a lot of rewards! Not only will I reward military achievements, but also women, but there is also a 200 gold coin bounty to get!"
"But, Lord Earl, ignited the powder barrel, wouldn't it blow myself away? Even if I gave it to the beauty, I couldn't sleep..." A soldier asked honestly, causing everyone to laugh.
"No, I won't let you die. Look, this is the fuse, so long! After igniting the fuse, you have enough time to evacuate the city gate and wait for the powder barrel to explode..."
Everyone came to watch and found that the fuse was indeed long enough...
"But, sir, our cannons are still slamming. Will they be killed by their own cannons when they carry gunpowder barrels?" asked a soldier.
"What stupid things do this kid say? If someone carries a powder barrel on it, I won't stop firing? Anyway, I won't hurt you by chance."
After explaining to the soldiers, the soldiers finally confirmed that they were not dying for nothing. Then, someone started to sign up...
"I, I... Sir, I'm very brave..."
"I can do it too..."
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. After hearing that he would not be bombed to death or accidentally injured by his own artillery, many soldiers were finally moved...
Suddenly, a loud voice rang:
"Sir, send me there! I will definitely be able to do this!"
Marin saw a soldier with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist roaring loudly...
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Doni Cry!" shouted in a loud voice.
"What, you said you're Dong Cunrui? Did you cross here too? Hero..." When the soldier spoke, the artillery was firing, which affected Marin's hearing. So Marin mistakenly heard Doni Cunrui as Dong Cunrui... When he was excited, he was so excited about Chinese...
This strong soldier named Doni Cry scratched his head, he didn't understand what Marin was saying...
Marin also reacted and looked at the soldier named Doni Cry, who seemed not to understand Chinese...
"It seems that it's not the hero who exploded the bunker in my mind..."
"But the name is so awesome, he's the only one..." Then, Marin made up his mind to let this strong soldier named Doni Cry go to blow up the bunker... ah, it's a bombing of the city gate...
"Okay, Doni, I will choose you. You carry this powder barrel, and after you get under the city gate, stuff the powder barrel into the city gate hole, and then use some broken bricks smashed by iron balls to bury the powder barrel, and pull out the fuse and set it up... and then use the fuse to ignite the fuse... Finally, you evacuate the city gate hole as fast as possible to avoid being blown to death..."
Marin and Doni Crye explained in detail to let him understand how to do it. However, Doni Crye, who has a surname, has a good understanding and quickly understood what to do. In fact, he is also a descendant of the Knights family, but he is just a illegitimate son, has a surname, but he is also a civilian. He lives in a relatively poor life and is in a famine again, so he came out to join the army. However, he is a little smarter than an ordinary soldier...
Before leaving with the powder barrel on his back, Doni Zerry asked Marin for a door and asked the carpenters to nail the handle behind the door so that he could hold it to resist the enemy's attack...
After all, he went to the city gate to set up a powder barrel. If the enemy discovered it, he would definitely attack him. If he threw a brick down and smashed it on his head, the mission would be failed... Moreover, the wooden door could also prevent the enemy's bows and arrows from shooting on the top of the city...
Marin admired Tony Cary's creativity very much, so he quickly arranged for the soldiers who worked as carpenters to dismantle a thicker door of the house, and nailed a handle that was easy to grasp behind the door...
Then, the strong Doni Zerry ran towards the city gate with a powder barrel on his back and held a door...
When Donnie Zree attacked, Marin ordered the Kohon mortars that bombarded the city gate to stop attacking. All three-pound guns continued to bombard the city heads, suppressing the defenders at the city heads, preventing them from poking their heads to attack Donnie Zree...
But Doni Zerry was still discovered by the defenders. Some soldiers threw bricks and stones down from the city. Fortunately, the stones they threw were smaller. Moreover, because the three-pound cannon on the city was suppressed by the three-pound cannon, the defenders did not dare to look at Doni Zerry for a long time... The wooden door above Doni Zerry barely blocked the things thrown by the city...
After entering the city gate, the defenders on the top of the city could not attack him. Doni Zree lowered the door, cleaned the big hole under the attack of Kohon mortar, and dug out a lot of broken wood and broken bricks. Then, he buried the powder barrel deep in accordance with Marin's instructions and covered it with a lot of broken wood and broken bricks. Afterwards, he arranged the long fuse into a "Z" shape in the narrow space inside the city gate, preparing to ignite...
Take off the fuse I had borrowed from the fuse gunman from the left arm, and Doni Zerry blew the fuse, and the fuse head lit up...
Doni Zerry carefully extended the fuse head toward the fuse...
"Shit" -"
The fuse began to burn, and Doni Cry immediately carried the wooden door and pressed it on his head, running wildly from the road he had always come...
Marin saw Doni Cry through the telescope and praised:
Chapter completed!
