The Rise of the European Emperor

Sure enough, as expected by Marin, the next morning, after a while, the super-thick oak door at the south gate of Jevre Castle finally couldn't resist the smashing of the 24-pound iron ball, and it was directly smashed out of a big hole.

Then, this didn't work. Because, at this time, behind the super thick oak door, there are piles of obstacles such as masonry and logs. In desperation, Marin had to order the artillery to continue bombarding...

However, the defenders in the castle were not idle at this time. Edo Welmken, who was commanding troops to demolish the house at this time:

"Go, that house has been demolished, hurry up! All the bricks, stones and wood are piled up to the south gate..."

The shelling continued, but more and more masonry and wood were piled up behind the south gate...

The smashing of the 24-pound iron ball caused the masonry piled up behind the wooden door to be smashed into a big hole, extending inward. However, Marin also saw the thickness of the bricks inside the city gate through the telescope...

"Damn, how thick is this bastard piled up..."

Marin also mobilized five three-pounder guns to bombard the big hole in the door in a straight line, trying to smash the piled bricks and stones, but the effect seems to be mediocre...

"If only there were dynamite packs to blow up these masonry..." Malin muttered.

At this time, the bricks and stones piled up behind the door, although there are a lot of them, are not glued and piled up, and they are not strong with each other. If a pack of explosives were stuffed into the big hole behind the door, it would indeed be able to blast those bricks and stones. After all, those masonry are just accumulations, not buildings.

Without further ado, Marin immediately decided to find the explosive pack...

Of course, he didn't have ready-made explosive packs. However, there is a powder keg...

It is easy to hold the granular gunpowder for artillery, one by one oak barrels. Oak barrels are thicker, but also for safety. After all, if the powder keg is damaged, leaks out, and then encounters sparks, it will cause a major incident. If this thick oak barrel is drilled with a small hole in the barrel wall, and then a fuse is inserted, it can be regarded as a barrel-shaped explosive. Although it can't keep up with the explosive power of the smokeless gunpowder in later generations, it can barely make do with it...

So, Marin recruited soldiers who knew woodworking, collected woodworking tools from the houses, found an iron cone, and began to drill holes in the barrel wall...

Then, using linen cloth and bulk gunpowder, a longer fuse was formed...

Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is - who can put this powder keg, carry it, put it in that doorway, and set it on fire...

At this time, Marin needs to call a brave Dong Cunrui...

Marin stood on the high platform and began to recruit warriors with a soil horn:

"Warriors, who among you is willing to carry a powder keg, stuff it into the city gate hole, and set it on fire? Whoever dares to go, I will reward you! Not only for military exploits, but also for women, there is also a 200 gold bounty to get. !"

"However, Lord Count, didn't he blew himself up when he lit the powder keg? Even if it was given to a beautiful woman, I couldn't sleep..." A soldier asked honestly, causing everyone to laugh.

"No, I won't let you die. Look, this is the fuse, it's so long! After lighting the fuse, you have enough time to evacuate the city gate and wait for the powder keg to explode..."

Everyone came to watch, and found that the fuse was really long enough...

"However, my lord, our artillery is still firing. If we carry a powder keg on our backs, will we be killed by our own artillery?" a soldier asked.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, kid? If someone carries a powder keg on their back, I won't stop firing? In short, I won't accidentally hurt you."

After Marin explained it to the soldiers, the soldiers finally confirmed that the death was not in vain. Then, someone started signing up...

"I, I, I... lord, I am brave..."

"I can do it too..."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man. After hearing that he would not kill himself or be accidentally injured by his own artillery,

The soldiers finally have a lot of people tempted...

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded:

"Sir, send me! I will definitely be able to do this well!"

Marin saw a soldier roaring loudly...

"What's your name?"

"My name is Doni Tsiri!" shouted loudly.

"What, you said your name is Dong Cunrui? Could it be that you have also crossed over? Hero..." When the soldier spoke, the artillery was firing, which affected Marin's hearing. So, Marin mistakenly heard Donny Tserui as Dong Cunrui... As soon as he got excited, his Chinese burst out...

This strong soldier named Doni Tsri scratched his head, he didn't understand what Marin was saying...

Marin also reacted, and looked at the soldier named Doni Tsri, who didn't seem to understand Chinese...

"It seems that it's not the hero who bombed the bunker in my mind..."

"However, the name is so awesome, that's it..." Then, Marin made up his mind to let this strong soldier named Doni Tserui go to bomb the bunker... ah, it's the city gate...

"Okay, Donny, it's your choice. You carry this powder keg on your back, and when you get under the city gate, put the powder keg into the gate hole, and then bury the powder with some broken bricks smashed by iron balls. The barrel, and pull out the fuse and lay it out... and then use the match to light the fuse... Finally, you should evacuate the city gate hole at the fastest speed, so as not to be killed..."

Marin and Doni Tserai explained in detail so that he could understand how to do it. However, this surnamed Donny Tserui has a very good understanding and quickly understood what to do. In fact, he is also a descendant of the knight family, but after being an illegitimate child, he has a surname, but he is also a civilian. However, literate, a little smarter than ordinary soldiers...

Before leaving with the powder keg on his back, Doni Tseri asked Marin for a door, and asked the soldiers who knew woodworking to nail the handle behind the door so that he could hold it up to resist the enemy's attack...

After all, he went to the city gate to set a powder keg, and if the enemy found out, they would definitely attack him. If you throw a brick down and hit him on the head - the mission will fail... Moreover, the wooden door can also prevent the enemy's bow and arrow from shooting at the top of the city...

Marin admired Tony Tsering's creativity very much. He quickly arranged for soldiers who would be skilled in woodworking, tore down the door of a relatively thick residential house, and nailed a handle behind the door that was easy to grasp...

Then, the strong Donny Tsering ran towards the city gate with a powder keg on his back and a door...

When Doni Tsri attacked, Marin ordered the Kehorn mortars that were bombarding the city gates to stop attacking. And all the three-pounder guns continued to bombard the city head, suppressing the city head defenders, preventing them from sticking their heads out and attacking Doni Tsri...

But Doni Tsri was still discovered by the defenders, and some soldiers threw bricks and stones down from the city head. Fortunately, the stones they dropped were relatively small. Moreover, because the top of the city was suppressed by the three-pounder gun, the defenders did not dare to take a long time to aim at Doni Tserui and smash it... The wooden door above Doni Tserui's head was able to block the bullet thrown by the city head. thing……

After entering the city gate hole, the defenders on the city head could not attack him. Donny Tsering put down the door, cleaned the big hole that had been attacked by the Cohoun mortar before, and pulled out a lot of broken wood and broken bricks. Then, according to Marin's instructions, he buried the powder keg deep in it and covered it with a lot of broken wood and broken bricks. After that, he put the long fuse into a "Z" shape in the narrow space inside the city gate, ready to ignite...

Taking the match rope borrowed from the matchlock gunner from his left arm, Donny Tsering blew the matchlock, and the end of the matchstick lit up...

Donny Tsering carefully put the end of the match to the fuse...

"Chichichi-"

The fuse started to burn, and Doni Tserui immediately carried the wooden door, put it on his head, and ran away the way he had always been...

Through the telescope, Marin saw Doni Tserai's movements clearly, and said with admiration:

"A good man, he is both brave and intelligent, not reckless, but he can be useful..."
