Chapter 1920: I have thunder grass hidden in the river bank, bloody sea, and tragically killed

However, just as the crowd of Dongxia soldiers quickly crossed the 150-meter line and arrived within 100 meters of the river bank.

Immediately, a violent explosion broke out in their team!

At the same time, there were almost thirty or forty explosions. Almost all of these explosions occurred on the front line where the soldiers charged forward. The violent explosion instantly blew up the five or six hundred people in front of them!

This was a tripping mine. As soon as Dong Xia soldier kicked the rope on the ground, the mine immediately exploded in pieces.

In fact, there are no landmines on the "Flying Henan People", but some of them are blossoming bullets!

...

Since only two cannons on the ship can be used, and when shooting cluster targets at close range, the cannons are mainly fired with shotguns. Therefore, many flowering bullets are left in the cabin without any use.

These cast iron shells are extremely powerful bombs. When you want to transform them into a landmine, just pull the fuse off the shell and then plug a hair pull-up fire tube into the small hole where the fuse was originally loaded.

This kind of fire tube is actually equivalent to a large cannon. The production process is very simple and its power is enough to detonate black gunpowder.

So Captain Wu Jun asked someone to transport all the flowering shells to the shore and buried them in the ground.

After the shells were installed with fire tubes, the sailors connected ropes between them.

In this way, as long as a war horse trips on the rope, the large area of ​​shell mines around it will be detonated by the cluster immediately!

...

At this moment, on the large number of mine formations, Pu Xianwannu's elite winter and summer soldiers were facing hundreds of injuries every minute and every second.

Amid the thunderous explosion, the war horses of the Dongxia Army began to run around in panic.

Whenever a landmine is trampled by them, the subsequent mines that explode will immediately blow up the Dongxia army within a radius of dozens of meters into bloody seas of fire.

At the same time, the two artillery on the ship continued to bombard the Dongxia army on the river beach with double shotgun without mercy.

Every round of shooting will open two hideous bloody roads on the river beach!

At this moment, if you look down from the sky, the stranded steamship is like a giant whale staying on the bank of Tumen River. And countless Dongxia troops are swarming in, like dense ant colonies.

These cavalry were more than a hundred meters away from the shore, and were eroded by fierce firepower. The Dongxia Army's front line had turned into a sea of ​​blood!

For a time, the firepower on the ship was fierce and the mine formation composed of a large number of flowering bullets also successfully prevented the Dongxia army from advancing forward.

However, under the forced force of the cold and cruel King Wannu on the hill, even though these Dongxia troops suffered thousands of casualties in a moment, they were still rushing forward desperately.

On the river bank next to the steamboat, there was a bloody hell of burning flames and blood. The battle had just begun and it was already in a state of madness. Both sides of the war were fighting to the death!

...

At this time, Captain Wu Jun was also nervously watching the battle scene in front of him.

At this moment, on this extremely cruel battlefield, the damage caused by the riflemen shooting on the ship is completely negligible.

The main force in the battle now is the mine formation composed of flowering bullets.

However, there were only four artillery guns on the ship, and even if there were too many flowering bullets prepared, they were limited. Under such high intensity combat, Wu Jun counted the sounds made when the cluster mine array exploded, and kept calculating the mine stock and the time they needed to persevere.

At this time, the expression on Wu Jun's face was getting ugly.

If this continues, the mines will be consumed in a few minutes. After that, they will never be able to stop the attack of the Dongxia Army like a sea of ​​people.

In other words, they have reached a critical moment of life and death!

...

At this time, Wu Jun turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the power cabin.

Just as he ran to the power cabin door and knocked open it hard, he saw a fire inside, and the heat waves were rushing.

The red fire was already burning fiercely under the efforts of two furnace stewards to shovel coal. The mechanic Chen Yaoguang in the cabin was standing in the middle of the cabin, looking up at the pressure gauge on the boiler without moving.

At this time, Wu Jun had no time to ask in detail, but rushed forward and came to the pressure gauge.

When he looked up, he saw the pressure gauge pointer slowly climbing up from the low pressure zone at a heart-wrenching speed...

Finally, the pointer approached the high-voltage area little by little!

At this time, Wu Jun looked at the deadly pressure gauge in front of him. His expectation and hope, concerns and torture were really hard to express in words!

Whether they can succeed and whether they can escape this time depends on the steaming boiler in front of them!

And at this time, the moment the pointer reaches the high pressure zone.

Sister Chen Yaoguang rushed forward and crossed the straight tube that had just been installed. She reached out and held the piston valve while shouting loudly to the mechanic on the other side of the speed change device:

"Full speed reverse gear!"

Just as he finished speaking, the mechanic who had been there for a long time hanged the gear on the gearbox in the "full speed reverse gear" position with a "clang".

After that, when the mechanic raised his right hand and just rushed out with a "finished" sound. At this moment, Chen Yaoguang suddenly pulled down the piston valve!

At this moment, the high-pressure steam generated by the boiler passed through the straight tube they connected. Then the steam violently impacted the piston cylinder and began to slowly push the piston to move.

Just one or two seconds later, the movement speed of these pistons was getting faster and faster. The "clang, clang" metal impact sounds made by the huge mechanical rocker arm when it was running back and forth in the power compartment.

Steam pushes the piston, and the kinetic energy generated pushes the gears in the transmission. Then the thick propeller shaft in the power compartment rotates rapidly!

At this moment, a bright light suddenly shone in sister Chen Yaoguang's eyes!

She looked at the boiler power system in front of her that was repaired and started to operate again with excitement.

At this time, Captain Wu Jun turned around without hesitation and rushed out of the power cabin and came to the deck!

At this time, there was a helmsman on duty in the command room, so he didn't need to take the helm. Wu Jun ran all the way and came to the stern of the boat.
Chapter completed!
