Chapter 351
Soon, Su Chen led everyone out of the manor.
Su Chen knew where there was a hill suitable for detonating explosives, which was near the saltpeter mine.
There were several small hills there, all covered with gravel and large boulders.
The main reason was that there were no fields around, and generally no one would move around nearby.
"Uncle Li, you came at a good time. If you had come an hour later, we would have almost detonated the explosives.
I don't know when I will have to wait to make explosives next time."
Su Chen whispered to Li Jing.
"Well, I originally wanted to come to the manor before noon, but it happened that His Majesty was hosting a banquet for us at the Leshan Restaurant, so I arrived not long ago."
"Su boy, why did you prepare a horse?"
Li Jing thought Su Chen didn't want to walk, so he asked Zhang Long and the others to prepare a horse, but Su Chen didn't ride a horse.
"Hehe, that's for escaping.
When the explosives explode, a lot of rubble will fly up, and the person who ignited the fire needs more time to evacuate to a safe area."
This time is different from the last explosive test. This time, there must be a lot of rubble when the mountain is blasted. It's okay to be hit by soil, but rubble is different.
...
The group walked for about twenty minutes and was far away from the manor.
This trip has a destination, so the pace will be faster.
"This mountain!" Su Chen took the lead and walked to the top of the mountain. This mountain is not high or steep, and there are no tall trees on the mountain.
"Zhang Long, go around and look around to see if there are people around.
If there are people who can be persuaded to leave, don't stay here."
"Yes!"
Zhao Hu put the horse on the mountain and followed up the mountain with digging tools.
Not long after, everyone came to the top of the mountain.
"Haha, there is no need for hoes." Su Chen smiled as he looked at the two huge rocks leaning against the top of the mountain.
The two boulders are close together. As long as the two sides are piled up with stones, the explosives are placed in the middle and filled with stones, a relatively closed space can be formed.
"Put the explosives in the middle of the two boulders!" Su Chen pointed at the two large stones and said.
"Su kid, can the explosives really blow up this boulders?" Li Jing was shocked when he heard Su Chen's words, and secretly said:
'If the explosives can really blow up this stone, it can be called a heaven-defying act! '
"I'm not sure, I'll know after trying it." Su Chen was not sure either. After Li Tai placed the explosive ball, Su Chen continued to command:
"Fill the gap between the two boulders with stones, and pay attention to protecting the fuse."
Su Chen took the lead in moving the stones, and Li Jing watched on the side without doing anything.
Soon, the explosives were buried.
"Who will ignite the explosives?" Su Chen looked at everyone with a smile.
"My Lord, I will ignite it!" Zhao Hu, Wang Chao and Ma Han answered at the same time.
"Okay! Zhao Hu, you will light the fire this time." Su Chen handed the lighter to Zhao Hu and continued:
"Wait a minute, we will make sure there is no one around. You will light the fire after I wave my hand. After lighting the fuse, run down the mountain immediately. The horse is for you."
Su Chen explained to Zhao Hu carefully that the fuse this time was about 1.5 meters long, and there was more than a minute to evacuate after lighting it.
Su Chen planned to evacuate to a place 150 meters away.
"My Lord, please rest assured. I have experience!" Zhao Hu witnessed the explosion of explosives last time and knew what to do.
"Okay, you pay attention, we will evacuate first!"
Su Chen patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder and then walked down the mountain with everyone.
"Uncle Li, is it a hundred steps from here to the foot of the mountain?"
Li Jing stretched out his palm toward the top of the mountain, spread out his five fingers, squinted his eyes, glanced and said: "Fifteen steps back."
"A hundred steps is enough!"
Su Chen stopped when he heard it, turned around and picked up the telescope to look at Zhao Hu on the top of the mountain.
Through the telescope, Su Chen saw Zhao Hu grinning at him.
"Haha! The brave warrior of Langya Mountain Tiger."
"Su boy, let me see the telescope." Li Jing had never used the telescope before, and he was a little curious.
"Here!" Su Chen handed the telescope to Li Jing.
Li Jing imitated Su Chen's way of using the telescope and looked at the distant mountain.
Through the telescope, Li Jing clearly saw Zhao Hu smiling at him, and he could also see the facial features clearly.
After all, it was a familiar face.
"Great, great!"
Li Jing kept picking up and putting down the telescope to compare with his naked eye vision.
"Brother Dejian, what do you do in the army?" While waiting for Zhang Long to come back from clearing the field, Su Chen smiled and looked at Li Dejian, who had a similar personality to Da Niu, and asked.
"I am not serving in the army. Thanks to your majesty's favor, I am now a junior supervisor of the fourth-rank generals."
Li Dejian introduced with some pride.
Da Niu, Bao Lin, Bao Qing and others are not as high-ranking as him at present.
This is mainly because Li Jing refused Li Shimin's reward every time he won a battle, fearing that his merits were too great. In the end, Li Shimin slowly gave himThe reward went to Li Dejian.
"How dare you say it's the fourth rank? It's just below the fourth rank." Li Chengqian exposed Li Dejian without hesitation.
They have always had a good relationship, so there is no need to worry about other things.
"Well, that's almost the same!" Li Dejian said with a silly smile and scratched his head.
Not long after, Zhang Long came back.
"My Lord, I have confirmed that there is no one within a hundred steps."
Su Chen nodded, took two steps forward, raised his hands and waved to Zhao Hu on the top of the mountain.
Zhao Hu on the top of the mountain saw Su Chen waving, and waved in response.
Then he turned and walked towards the pile of stones where the explosives were buried.
"Zhao Hu squatted down."
"He picked up a wire."
"Zhao Hu lit it."
"He ran down the mountain..."
Li Jing told everything he saw through the telescope.
Su Chen counted down silently...
It can be seen that Zhao Hu was running down the mountain with all his strength, but fortunately the mountain was not high.
In less than forty seconds, Zhao Hu came down the mountain, jumped on his horse and waved his whip.
"Go!"
When Su Chen counted to seventy-two, Zhao Hu rode his horse to Su Chen and his friends.
Just when Su Chen counted to ninety-six...
A violent explosion sounded.
"Boom!"
This explosion sounded crisper than the last one, perhaps because of the copper ball, or it could be the difference between stone and soil.
At the same time as the explosion sounded, the rubble did not fly around.
Instead, it flew obliquely to both sides of the mountain, one side was towards Su Chen and his friends, and the other side was towards the other side of the mountain.
Because there were two huge rocks in the other two directions.
It can be seen that the explosives failed to break the two huge rocks.
"Not good, retreat quickly! Back off, quickly..." Li Jing reacted from the shock, and those large and small rubbles were about to fall towards where they landed.
Everyone was awakened by Li Jing's loud shout and quickly retreated to the back.
"Oh my god, the ancients are not trustworthy, and the God of War can't tell the distance! It's better to stay away next time."
Su Chen swore that he would never believe the ancients' words of a hundred steps or ten steps again.
It would be bad if he was hit by this gravel.
When Zhao Hu ran away, he didn't forget to whip the horse's butt hard.
The horse screamed in pain and ran forward with all its might.
When Su Chen and his friends ran away, they could clearly hear the sound of the stone falling not far behind them.
Fortunately, Li Jing reminded them in time, otherwise these people would have nowhere to hide.
After running fifty or sixty meters, the noise behind them subsided.
Everyone stopped...
Li Jing stared at Su Chen in shock...
Su Chen looked at Li Jing with suspicion.
