Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3507 Delayed Fuze
Liu Xun frowned, pondered for a while, and shook his head: "Mr. Cen must not understand the power of firearms, especially what kind of power the tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder stored in the warehouse mean. In short, once The gunpowder was detonated, and including the foundry, there was no survivor within a mile! Therefore, if Mr. Cen wants to fight to the end with the enemy, then sending someone to detonate the gunpowder at the last moment is enough for the rebels outside to give us But if you want to detonate the gunpowder and break out, it is absolutely impossible. Unless you arrange people to hide in the warehouse in advance, and wait until the brigade goes far away to detonate."

Speaking of this, he paused, and sighed: "But with all due respect, no one can complete this task. Thousands of troops fight on the battlefield, and there are countless people who can see death as home, and they can be called warriors. But When a person hides in the secret room of the warehouse, surrounded by tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder, and detonates, there will be no bones left, and after thinking about it in such silence, it will be difficult to die generously in the end."

People have the heart to follow the crowd, and in certain specific environments, it is relatively easy for a moment of enthusiasm to rush forward regardless of one's own safety.However, it is absolutely difficult to calmly consider the pros and cons in the silence, and then still be able to see death as home.

Xu Jingzong nodded and snorted coldly: "What Liu Langzhong said is true, only those who have little experience can always put life and death in their mouths, and they seem to be able to do justice generously, but in fact they hesitate to move forward when the time comes !"

He sneered, and Ouyang Tong's black face turned red, and he said angrily: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of the swan? Mr. Xu is too thin to treat others. It is ridiculous to think that others can't die generously! You will lead your classmates later." Break out and go, I hide in the warehouse, responsible for detonating the gunpowder!"

Xu Jingzong stared angrily: "Don't be so passionate right now, hide in the storeroom later, and pee your pants when the gunpowder detonates and explode to pieces! Peeing your pants is fine, but what if you wet the lead wire and make the gunpowder explode?" That gunpowder would end up in the hands of the rebels!"

"you!"

Ouyang Tong was furious, his thin body took a step forward and glared at Xu Jingzong viciously, Xu Jingzong was so frightened that he took a step back subconsciously...

Immediately he came to his senses, his face turned from embarrassment into anger, and he was ready to retort.

Cen Changqian quickly pulled Ouyang Tong back, waved his hands and said, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient! Why do you argue about such trivial matters? In fact, there is no need for someone to stay in the warehouse to detonate the gunpowder after the brigade leaves. The left and right are just delayed ignition. , very easily."

Liu Shi's eyes lit up: "What is Mr. Cen's good plan?"

He thinks that he absolutely does not have the courage to stay in the warehouse to detonate the gunpowder, and he does not think others can do this.However, if the gunpowder cannot be detonated, even if a successful breakout will allow the rebels to get the gunpowder, that is a serious dereliction of duty.

If Cen Changqian can really solve this problem, breaking through is the best choice.

Cen Changqian said with a smile: "When setting off firecrackers during the New Year's Eve, I also tied the burning incense sticks to the fuses of the firecrackers and hid them under the bed of my partner. The firecrackers will not be ignited until the incense sticks are exhausted, and they burst suddenly. My partner was so scared that he yelled..."

"Wonderful!"

Cen Changqian was halfway through, and Liu Shi already clapped his hands and praised, overjoyed, and said: "This delayed ignition is really a good way, let's tie the fuse of the gunpowder to the incense stick in advance, and wait until we break through and go away, and the gunpowder will go away." It will be detonated, not only can all the gunpowder be destroyed and not fall into the hands of the rebels, but the powerful force after the detonation of the gunpowder can kill a large number of rebels, it really kills two birds with one stone!"

Xu Jingzong was also amazed and praised, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that the usual tricks used in child's play could be of great use in such critical times? Cen Changqian is smart, wise, and full of tricks, compared to those who only know how to be brave. The idiot is too strong!"

"Mother!"

Ouyang blushed so much that his neck was thick, and he even swears. He wanted to break free from Cen Changqian, and rushed forward to punch this shady old man.

Cen Changqian hurriedly held him tightly, and dissuaded him: "Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient! Right now we are on the brink of extinction, even if we break through, we don't know how much we will be hurt. Can we people break through to Zhongnan Mountain alive? A little dispute, why take it to heart? We should cooperate sincerely and fight side by side!"

Ouyang Tong looks thin and weak, but in fact he has a bad temper, but he has always been convinced by Cen Changqian. Hearing this, although his anger is not exhausted, he calms down and turns his head away from Xu Jingzong's smug old face...

However, after hearing Cen Changqian's words, Xu Jingzong's complexion also changed, and finally he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said worriedly: "I don't know what will happen to those people under General Xin Mao..."

The rest of the people were silent for a moment.

Xin Mao will desperately rush to the Kunming Lake, launch ships and bombard the rebels with artillery, and kill countless enemies. If not for this, the foundry bureau would not be able to persist until now.But after the shells ran out, those ships became living targets. Once the rebels attacked them, it would be a disaster.

Cen Changqian took a deep breath and said, "Master Xu, there is no need to worry. Student Xin is a lucky man, and he will surely break out. Right now is not the time to think too much. Let's try to lead the students to break out and find a way out."

Liu Shi nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be!"

At the moment, the four of them discussed carefully and formulated various strategies to solve the defects they could think of as much as possible, and then began to act.

Ouyang Tong was in charge of going out to gather the students who were scattered around relying on fortifications to resist the rebel attack, and led a few students to yell around, saying, "If you can't do anything, you should fight bravely and die without hesitation" "Since the enemy wants the warehouse If there are any firearms within, everyone will retreat to the storeroom to ignite the gunpowder, and the enemy will all perish" and so on, the enemy and us are fighting fiercely in one place, and naturally everyone can hear it clearly.

Then the students of the academy fought and retreated, giving up all the fortifications one after another, and concentrated them all near the warehouse, which frightened the generals who commanded the rebel army to fight.

Cannons were raging above their heads, leaving countless casualties. The ultimate goal was to seize the firearms in the warehouse of the Foundry Bureau and use them to capture the imperial city.
This is not only the loss of the firearms in the foundry bureau, but more seriously, once the gunpowder in those warehouses detonates, it will cause huge damage. Those who besieged them would have to be buried with these students!
Immediately ordered not to force too much, and even deliberately withdrew the troops, only retaining the encirclement situation, and waited and watched.

This gave the academy students a rare opportunity to rest and recuperate.

Students these days are not frail scholars who have been left behind by the Four Books and Five Classics hundreds of years later.But even so, after the bloody battle in the middle of the night, there were countless casualties.

Almost all the students who have been withdrawn now are injured. Fortunately, thousands of craftsmen in the Foundry Bureau usually work here, and they are sometimes injured, so they have prepared a lot of wound medicine.Liu Xun ordered the general to find him, and asked the students to deal with each other's wounds. When they break through later, as long as there is still a breath, they will be taken away. It is impossible to abandon them and suffer the fate of being smashed to pieces.

The rebels outside were afraid that the students would really detonate the gunpowder in the warehouse, so they did not dare to attack unscrupulously, but after waiting for a long time, they did not see any movement from the students, so they tentatively moved towards the warehouse little by little.

Cen Changqian and Liu Shi were in the warehouse, surrounded by gunpowder in wooden barrels.The incense stick was brought by Liu Shi from his value room. It contains sandalwood, which has the effect of refreshing, refreshing and calming the mind after burning.Cen Changqian carefully tied one end of the incense stick firmly to a fuse extending into the gunpowder barrel, making sure that the fuse would be ignited once the incense burnt to the end, and then picked up the torch and blew it on.

After fighting in the middle of the night, he was not physically strong at the moment, and he was a little nervous. When he lit the incense stick, his hands shook...

"Mother! My little ancestor, can you take it easy? Come, come, or leave it to me!"

Seeing that the flame almost touched the lead wire, Liu Xun was almost frightened away, so he quickly stopped Cen Changqian, took the fire bag over, and lit the incense stick steadily.

Cen Changqian also breathed out, and said with a smile: "This incense stick is rich in sandalwood, and the fragrance is light but not disperse. It is indeed a good thing. You should also light one when you are reading in your free time. It will refresh your mind and enjoy it."

Liu Shi was speechless, since when did you still express such emotion?

Quickly urged: "If you survive this time, why don't I give you a few boxes of incense sticks? Hurry up, this incense stick will burn for half an hour at most, don't blow it up before we break out !"
