Chapter 496
Although on the other side of the Yangtze River, one could not feel the shock caused by the explosion, but one could still see the smoke column. Even if it was blocked by the river fog, one could still vaguely see two green flares dragging the smoke dragons into the sky.
A huge column of smoke also rose into the air, filling the air and rolling around.
"Army attack!"
Zhu Guoqiang, who was standing at the bow of the ship, said calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, several signal flares rose from the reeds on the riverside, and a fleet of more than twenty ships roared towards Yuezhou City on the other side of the river.
"Your Majesty!"
Standing next to him, Mei Chun looked at the huge smoke ball in astonishment. Even across the river, he heard the loud noise like winter thunder.
"Don't look at me like you're a god. I didn't cause the thunder, it was the bomb!"
Feeling Mei Chun's gaze, Zhu Guoqiang explained casually.
Not just a bomb!
And it’s timed!
This kind of time bomb actually uses acidic liquid to corrode metal wires, and the release spring pushes the striker, which triggers the detonator to trigger the explosion. When starting, you need to flatten the fuse tube and let the acidic solution corrode the wires. This simple and primitive time bomb,
In fact, it was the weapon used by Stauffenberg to assassinate Hitler in the "Wolf's Lair" during World War II.
Last time, Zhu Guoqiang used it to blow up Abatai's ship and send tens of thousands of Manchu elites to the bottom of the river to feed the fish. This time, it was just a repeat of the same trick, from blowing up ships to blowing up people.
The reason why he launched this "decapitation" operation was because Zhu Guoqiang himself could not guarantee that he could capture Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop. If he was allowed to escape, he would continue to flee and cause harm to all parties. Therefore, Zhu Guoqiang has been thinking about this issue since he went south.
How could Zhang Xianzhong be captured and killed in one fell swoop?
The best option is "Operation Decapitation".
Send in commandos?
This is not impossible, but the risk factor is too high and the success rate is too low. In addition to the Soviet Union's beheading of Afghanistan's Amin, how many beheading operations have been successful?
Okay, let’s load up the bomb!
In order to implement this plan, Zhu Guoqiang specially customized a large clock in another time and space. The reason why he chose the large clock was because it was big enough!
In addition to being big enough, the appearance of the clock is also magnificent, simply ingenious. It’s gold-plated, artificial rubies, diamonds, in a word, just use the things that all the earthly people love the most. As long as a earthly person
Hao must be able to take a fancy to it at a glance. Not to mention Tuhao, even Zhu Guoqiang himself couldn't help but wonder when he looked at it, whether he should produce this thing and export it to earn foreign exchange, no, export it to earn gold and silver.
The main body of the three-meter-high clock is made of pig iron and is made of an iron shell. The iron shell is filled with a full 500 kilograms of explosives - in terms of the amount of explosives, even a one-ton aviation bomb does not contain so much explosives.
.
This is also Zhu Guoqiang's choice - if it is big enough, he can install more bombs and more explosives to ensure that the people around him will be killed. As for whether Zhang Xianzhong will be near the clock by then, Zhu Guoqiang really has no way to guarantee it, but he can be sure.
The most important thing is that no one will survive within a radius of forty to fifty meters or even further, maybe even hundreds of meters. Who knows?
There is really no rush to test such a powerful weapon!
All that's left is to send agents to carry out the mission. The people are carefully selected. Li Mingsi is the "internal guard" lurking in Jiujiang and knows the affairs of the Zuo family very well. As for Xin, he is also trying to kill Zuo Liang.
The Jade Queen asked her staff to write it.
Now, all plans are going smoothly!
The bomb exploded on time, and even Zhu Guoqiang himself didn't know it. The plan went smoothly beyond his imagination. In order to show off his "illustrious martial arts", Zhang Xianzhong specially invited all the civil and military officials and generals from all the battalions around Yueyang City to "
In the "Prince's Mansion", even when the explosion occurred, he and the generals gathered around the "Golden Bell", listening to the civil servants compose poems for it.
Of course, Zhang Xianzhong did not realize that "send off the bell" is definitely not a nice word - it is equivalent to sending off the end!
Not only did this end for him, but also the dozens of generals around him.
There were no generals in the camp, and even if there were close associates of the general, after the explosion that shook the place, the soldiers in each battalion were like headless flies, not knowing what to do at all.
In this chaos, they, who were already highly nervous, instinctively shouted loudly in the violent shock.
"The officers and soldiers have robbed the camp!"
Even if the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, even if they can see that the person in front of them is one of their own, there are still people who are wielding their swords and hacking to death those who are blocking them, running around while hacking, shouting loudly:
"The officers and soldiers have robbed the camp! The officers and soldiers have robbed the camp!"
When one person shouts, more people follow suit.
"The officers and soldiers have robbed the camp!"
The people on the sentry tower listened, and while sounding gongs to warn, they simultaneously fired random arrows at the running crowd. Even those who were hesitant at first were still doubtful when the arrows landed on them, and they immediately waved.
The knife kills the "enemies" around it.
There were many soldiers who had been plundered. When they saw the chaos in the camp, they immediately ran towards the outside of the camp. They brought other people with them along the way. For a while, the camp was completely in chaos.
Someone shouted loudly after being stabbed.
He said things like "Officials and soldiers sneak into the camp" while hacking and killing unfamiliar people.
This is the camp roar that generals fear most throughout the ages!
Contrary to what many people imagine, the rules and regulations in ancient Chinese military camps are extremely strict. Not to mention shouting loudly, even spreading rumors about nothing is life-threatening. Moreover, the military camp is an authentic place of solemn killing. The traditional military regulations include the so-called "ten
"Seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings", soldiers live in fear, and the mental depression accumulated over time can be imagined. On the other hand, the army is very dark, officers bully soldiers wantonly, veterans gang up to bully recruits, and among soldiers
Cliques formed and fought openly and secretly, and conflicts accumulated year after year, all suppressed by military discipline. Especially before the war, everyone was uncertain about his life and death. He did not know when he would die. At this time, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
Sometimes, it may just be the scream of a soldier having a nightmare, so everyone is infected with this hysterical and crazy atmosphere, completely breaking away from the shackles of military discipline and venting wildly. Some clear-minded guys start to retaliate against injustice.
There was a need for revenge, and since many of the soldiers formed cliques based on their hometown connections, a melee began. At this time, the officers who usually bullied the soldiers became the number one target. In the chaos, everyone was settling their own accounts and should pay off their debts.
Can't run.
This is a traditional military camp. In the bandits, although there is no so-called "seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings", because the soldiers are all soldiers who were kidnapped and kidnapped, in order to prevent people from escaping, the camp often beheads and kills.
, even because some people wanted to escape, Zhang Xianzhong once ordered people to cut off the legs of thousands of deserters to let them escape again. As for the old camp soldiers bullying the new camp soldiers, it is an extremely common thing.
In these camps, people are not only depressed, but may collapse at any time.
In this chaos, I don’t know how many people took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, picked up the guy to avenge injustice, and took revenge. I don’t know how many people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape and escape from the den of thieves. In short, tens of thousands of people
When chaos arises, all sanity will be wiped out.
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"
In the fierce melee, people kept shouting and shouting. But in the most intense center, there were no more shouts and shouts of death. There were only heavy sounds of exertion, short curses, chaotic footsteps and the sound of swords.
There were clashing sounds, and the muffled sound of swords and guns suddenly hitting people's bodies and heads. The fighting crowd was constantly moving, like a whirlpool in a torrent, with people sometimes joining in and sometimes injured people exiting. That place was between the torrent and the
People in the whirlpool are constantly stepping on pools of blood, dead bodies and seriously injured people, moving forward, retreating, jumping left, dodging right, sometimes falling down themselves, being trampled by others, and then turning into a pile of minced meat.
