Chapter 45: Donnie Curry

Sure enough, as expected by Marin, the next morning, after a while, the ultra-thick oak door at the south gate of Jever Castle finally couldn't help but be smashed by the 24-pound iron ball and was directly smashed out of the cave.

Then, it didn't work. Because at this time, behind the extra-thick oak door, it was filled with barriers such as masonry and logs. In desperation, Marin had to order the artillery to continue bombardment ...

However, at this time the defenders in the castle were not idle. Edo Wilmken, now directing the soldiers to demolish the house:

"Go, that house will be demolished, hurry up! All the masonry wood, piled up to the south gate ..."

Shelling continues, but more and more bricks and wood piled up behind the south gate ...

The 24 pound iron ball smashed the bricks and stones piled up close to the wooden door into a large pit and extended inwards. However, Marin also saw through the telescope the thickness of the masonry inside the gate ...

"Fuck, how thick is this **** ..."

Marin mobilized 5 three-pounder guns together to bombard the large holes in the door in a straight line, trying to smash the accumulated bricks, but the effect seems to be general ...

"It would be nice if there were explosive bags to explode these bricks ..." Marin murmured.

At this time, although there were a lot of masonry piled up behind the door, they were not glued together, and they were not strong with each other. If you put a bag of explosives in the hole behind the door, you can really blow up the bricks. After all, the masonry is just a pile, not a building.

Without further ado, Marin immediately decided to find an explosive bag ...

Of course, he did not prepare a ready-made explosive package. However, there are gunpowder barrels ...

Easy to hold the granular gunpowder for artillery, it is an oak barrel. Oak barrels are relatively thick, also for safety. After all, if the gunpowder barrel breaks, leaks out, and encounters Mars again, something big is going to happen. If you drill this small oak barrel with a small eye on the barrel wall and insert a fuze, it can be regarded as a barrel-type explosive. Although I couldn't keep up with the explosive power of smokeless gunpowder in later generations, I also managed to use it ...

So, Marin found woodworking soldiers, collected woodworking tools from the private house, found an iron cone, and began to drill holes in the barrel wall ...

Then, using linen and bulk gunpowder, it was rubbed into a longer fuse ...

Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is-who can put this gunpowder barrel, carry it, put it in the doorway, and ignite ...

Marin, at this time, need to call a brave Dong Cunrui ......

Marin stood on the high platform and started recruiting the warriors with the earth horn:

"Warriors, who among you is willing to carry a gunpowder barrel, tuck it into the city gate, and ignite it? Who dares to go, I have a lot of rewards! Not only rewards for the merits of war, rewards for women, and 200 gold coins for rewards. ! "

"But, Lord Earl, ignited the gunpowder barrel, didn't you blow yourself up too? Even if it was given to the beauty, I couldn't sleep ..." A soldier asked sternly, causing everyone to laugh.

"No, I will not let you die. Look, this is the fuse, so long! After the fuse is lit, you have enough time to evacuate the city gate and wait for the gunpowder barrel to explode ..."

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

"But, lord, our artillery is still blasting, carrying gunpowder barrels, will we be killed by our own artillery?" A soldier asked.

"This kid, what nonsense? If someone carried a gun barrel up, I wouldn't stop firing? In short, I won't hurt you by mistake."

After explaining with Marin and the soldiers, the soldiers finally confirmed that they were not killed in vain. Then, someone started to sign up ...

"Me, me, me ... Adult, I am brave ..."

"I can do it ..."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man. After hearing that he would not be killed or accidentally injured by his own artillery, many soldiers finally got tempted ...

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded:

"Sir, send me! I will do this well!"

Marin saw a bearded soldier roaring with a loud voice ...

"What's your name?"

"My name is Duny Curry!" Cried out loudly.

"What, you said your name is Dong Cunrui? Did you also cross over? Heroes ..." When the soldiers were talking, the artillery was firing, which affected Marin's hearing. So, Marin misunderstood Donnie Curry as Dong Cunrui ... When excited, Chinese all came out ...

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

Marin also reacted, and looked at the soldier named Donnie Curry, who did n’t seem to understand Chinese ...

"It seems that it is not the hero of the bombardment in my mind ..."

"However, the name is so good, it's him ..." Then, Marin made up his mind to let this strong soldier named Duny Curry go to bomb the bunker ... ah, it's the bomb gate ...

"Okay, Duny, it ’s your choice. Carry this gunpowder barrel on your back. When you get under the gate, tuck the gunpowder barrel into the gate hole, and then cover the gunpowder with some broken bricks smashed by iron **** Bucket, and pull the fuse out and lay it out ... Then use the fire rope to ignite the fuse ... Finally, you evacuate the city gate hole at the fastest speed to avoid being killed ... "

Marin and Donnie Curry gave a detailed explanation to let him understand how to do it. However, this surnamed Donnie Cree still has a good understanding, and soon understood what to do. In fact, he is also a descendant of the cavalier family. He is just an illegitimate child. He has a surname, but he is also a civilian. He is relatively poor and happens to be a famine, so he went out to serve as a soldier. However, literacy is smarter than ordinary soldiers ...

Before carrying the gunpowder barrel to leave, Duny Curry asked Marin for a door and asked the carpentry soldier to nail the handle behind the door so that he could hold it up to resist the attack of the enemy ...

After all, he went to the Shing Mun Cave to put a gunpowder barrel. If he was found by the enemy, he 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 bow and arrow of the enemy on the city head from shooting ...

Marin appreciates Toni Ciri ’s creativity ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ quickly arranged for carpentry soldiers, demolished a thicker residential door, and nailed the handle behind the door for easy gripping ...

Then, the strong Donnie Curry was carrying a gunpowder barrel, carrying a door, and ran towards the city gate ...

Donnie Curry attacked, and Marin ordered the Cohorn mortars that bombarded the city gate to stop attacking. And all the three-pound guns continue to bombard the city heads, suppress the city head guards, and prevent them from protruding their heads and attacking Duny.

Donnie Cry was still found by the defenders, some soldiers threw bricks and stones from the city head. Fortunately, the stones they dropped were relatively small. Moreover, because the city's head was suppressed by a three-pound gun, the defenders did not dare to take their heads for a long time to aim at Duny Curry. thing……

After entering the city gate, the defenders above the city could not attack him. Donnie Curry put down the door and cleared the big hole under the Kohoorn mortar attack before, picking up a lot of broken wood and broken bricks. Then, he buried the gunpowder pail in accordance with Marin's instructions, and covered it with a lot of broken wood and broken bricks. After that, he put the long fuse in a small space in the gate of the city into a "Z" shape, ready to ignite ...

Remove the matchstick originally borrowed from the matchlock gunman from his left arm. Duny Curry blew the matchstick, and the matchstick head lit up ...

Doni. Curry carefully stretched the head of the fire rope towards the fuse ...

"Oh, oh"

The fuse began to burn, and Donnie Curry immediately carried the wooden door on his head, and ran away from the old road ...

Marin, through the telescope, saw the movement of Donnie Curry, and praised:

"Good guys are brave and intelligent, not reckless, but useful ..."
