Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 659: So what if it’s concrete? Just blow it up!

Hei Fu explained:

"These are nitro explosives developed by His Majesty. The last time I fought them, they didn't have such weapons."

"The reason we were able to successfully defeat the enemy with fewer troops in the battles between large and small fortresses at that time was because the enemy had no way of dealing with concrete."

"But if we throw nitrate explosives at the fortress now, even the strongest fortress will not be able to withstand the attack of nitrate explosives."

Seeing this, Ye Shoujiang on the side nodded slowly. He had indeed been doing this in the past few days.

However, some problems arose during the actual implementation process.

"How are you going to get the nitro explosives to the bunker?"

"Don't worry about that. My new gunpowder troops can do it."

Ye Shoujiang knew that Qin Ming had already arranged Heifu to go out and independently trained a unit a long time ago.

This unit is equipped with Daqian's latest weapons.

Compared with other troops, this gunpowder troop has a deep understanding of new weapons!

"I have a group of strong men under my command who can throw the discus from a distance of a hundred feet."

"After training, they can throw nitro explosives in this way on the battlefield without having to get too close to the enemy's fortress."

"I see."

Hearing this, Ye Shoujiang nodded in satisfaction.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Before His Majesty arrives, we need to clear as much of a path as possible for His Majesty and Yan Zheng to confront each other."

"no problem."

After the two men had discussed it, Heifu set out with his special forces.

After walking out of the military camp and marching across the endless wilderness for less than half an hour, they saw rows of fortresses.

These fortresses of varying sizes are scattered across the path of the crowd.

The layout of each fortress has been carefully designed.

Ensure mutual fire support with all surrounding troops.

"here we go again."

After seeing their actions, the troops in the fortress all made sounds of disdain.

Originally, Yan Ziqiong's fiefdom was in a plain area, which was easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Therefore, Wanyan Tielu arranged a group of people to build these fortresses here in advance. In the end, the effect was indeed good and successfully helped them solve a lot of problems.

It even blocked Ye Shoujiang's offensive.

In the past few days, Ye Shoujiang's troops have been unable to attack and have begun to retreat.

This also gave Wanyan Tielu and Xiao Tianzhu's troops a temporary respite.

I thought they would give up and stop attacking.

But I didn't expect that the opponent's offensive would not stop, and he actually came over again today.

"Let them suffer a little!"

"Kill them!"

The Tiger Roar Guards stationed here began to get excited.

He took up his musket and came to the opening of the fort.

But they soon discovered that something seemed wrong.

"Why don't these people come closer?"

Ye Shoujiang's original strategy was for the troops to wear bulletproof vests and approach the enemy with shields raised.

As soon as you get close to the fort, use explosives to blow up their fort.

But in actual implementation, it was found that there were heavy casualties.

Because the distribution of these forts is extremely irregular.

Even with a shield, it can only block one side, and people on the side can still launch a sneak attack, causing them huge damage.

So now when Hei Fu came over, he was not willing to get close to them at all.

He stood directly a hundred feet away.

Faced with their strange behavior, Hu Xiaowei had a bad feeling in his heart.

"let's hit!"

To avoid any further complications, they opened fire.

Heifu waved his hand calmly, and the people behind him immediately raised several large shields, completely covering them.

"Remember the position and be ready to shoot."

"Yes!"

As Heifu's order was given, the people hiding behind the big shield took the explosives and started throwing them into the air.

The explosives in their hands formed a beautiful parabola after passing through the top of the shield after leaving their hands.

Smash towards the enemy's fortress.

Bang bang bang!

The violent explosion was deafening.

The explosion of nitro explosives was very terrifying, raising a cloud of dust.

After the explosion, even large pits of varying depths were left on the ground.

The Tiger Roar Guards, who had originally underestimated the enemy, suffered heavy losses.

"Why is there such a fighting style?"

Those who were still alive crawled out from the rubble and retreated wailing.

Wanyan Tielu, who was far away, had already received the news and came to the battlefield.

After seeing the other party's actions, his heart sank.

"Everyone, evacuate the fortress!!"

Seeing that his troops had become sitting ducks, trapped in the fortress and subject to bombing by the enemy.

At this moment, he could no longer remain calm.

Directly mobilize the internal force and command the entire army with a huge voice!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The Tiger Roar Guards who received the order did not dare to question it at all.

They began to retreat to the rear in a panic.

"Hurry up! No need to chase them, blow up the bunker first!!"

Watch them leave the fortress.

Heifu did not dare to delay and rushed forward with his men, throwing several nitrocellulose explosives into each fortress.

With waves of smoke and dust stirring.

All the fortresses, big and small, that stood in their way were demolished.

At this moment, Wanyan Tielu's pupils in the distance shook violently!

In his eyes, a fortress built of concrete could not be demolished by ordinary gunpowder.

What's more, in such a short time!

However, the explosives used by Qin Ming and his men had a killing effect far beyond their expectations.

"Isn't it still possible to use it like this... Is it useless even if I crack the concrete formula?"

Qin Ming had never told them the formula of concrete.

However, after fighting with him for a long time, the Yan Dynasty’s top leaders also figured out how to mix concrete through continuous attempts.

Relying on their vast resource reserves, the Yan Dynasty quickly began arming major cities with concrete.

They thought that doing so could help them resist the impact Qin Ming might bring to them in the future.

But what they didn't expect was that Qin Ming's technology developed so quickly.

The concrete that was originally indestructible in front of everyone was actually cracked by Qin Ming's own technology in just one or two years.

"The concrete fortress has been cracked. Now it's your minefield that counts."

After returning to the position, Wanyan Tielu's face was full of unwillingness.

Xiao Tianzhu stepped forward and comforted him:

"It doesn't matter. Even if they can break through the concrete, they can't possibly solve these minefields that stretch for dozens of miles, unless they have countless war horses that can wade through the minefield!"

"But that would drastically reduce their cavalry numbers. Without their highly mobile cavalry, they'd be like fish on the chopping board!"

Xiao Tianzhu also spent a lot of money this time, almost emptying his arsenal and laying minefields for dozens of miles.

The purpose is to consolidate the victory and prevent Yan Ziqiong from fighting back!
