After all, the Zaitu war suffered from not understanding science. They knew too little about railways and trains. Of course, the knowledge here was indeed very rare.
During the Zaitu sneak attack on Hunchun, the time to ignite the fuse was accurate to the second. In order to accurately explode a train, professional engineers conducted hundreds of experiments for three consecutive days.
In the subconscious mind of the rebels, Hunchun, as the commander, should sit in the front. After all, it has been the custom since ancient times for important people to sit in front!
But it was this kind of inertial thinking that saved Hunchun's life. Today Hunchun was not at the front at all, but in the last carriage.
Why? It’s not that Hunchun was afraid of death and it was convenient to escape, but that old-fashioned trains have this characteristic. The last carriage is actually the most stable!
The steam locomotive pulls in front, and the noise is very loud, plus the banging sound at the connection between the rails and the carriages, which is difficult for most people to bear.
The big guys sit in the last carriage, so the only sound left is the friction of the rails and wheels, which is relatively quiet!
The other is vibration. The locomotive starts, accelerates, decelerates, stops, turns... various actions will cause vibration, and huge force is transmitted backwards one by one in the carriage.
The closer to the front, the greater the force, the greater the vibration, and the louder the sound!
The last carriage took over the end of the vibration, so it was naturally much more stable!
On Hunchun Road, you need to study the map and check various military situations. The more stable the command table is, the better. Of course, the quieter the environment, the better.
So when a lot of trouble comes, the rebels will definitely make mistakes if they apply old experience to a new thing like the railway. They naturally think that the big guys should be at the front and the little guys at the end!
In fact, this isn’t really science anymore and no one will write it down in textbooks. This is just the experience gained by people who have been riding trains for a long time!
When Xiao Letian was a student in his previous life, he rode old green trains. This experience was still useful. But after he started working, high-speed rails were everywhere in China, and this experience disappeared. Electric locomotives don't have these problems!
At that time, younger children may not have had such life experience. In fact, this is just a little memory of the era when train traction technology was backward!
Hunchun's life was saved in this way. After the explosion, the front carriage was blown to pieces, the middle carriage overturned, and the following carriages rushed down the track.
Just like this, it ran for tens of meters. Hunchun's carriage even had a dragon tail swing, knocking down the brick wall of a warehouse, and half of the carriage rushed into the warehouse!
Hunchun was knocked over more than ten times in the carriage, and his forehead was hit all over the place. The heaviest impact was that his forehead directly hit the steel, leaving a hole like a baby's mouth.
It was so deep that you could see the white bones!
Holding the wound, blood flowed out from between the fingers. He looked closely at his adjutants and soldiers lying on the ground in the carriage. Seven or eight of them were killed on the spot, and all the rest were injured!
"General... General, are you okay... bandaging..."
"It's too late... protect the general and retreat... leave here, there are few of us..."
Hunchun didn't have time to react, and was carried out of the carriage by his men. As a result, the smell of burning chicken manure hit his face!
Many places led by Luo Huo in Zhili Dadi have become bases for wholesale of poultry, eggs and meat. Yangcun used to send two carloads of chickens, ducks and poultry eggs to Tanggu Industrial Zone every day.
This warehouse is where live chickens and ducks are stored. The floor is covered with chicken manure, and there are chicken coops made of bamboo everywhere!
The carriage rushed in and knocked over the kerosene lamp. In addition, the train also carried flames. The fire immediately roasted the live chickens, ducks and chicken manure on the floor!
The stench was so strong that everyone forgot about the pain!
"Retreat quickly, retreat to the southeast... Tianjin Wei has not fallen, go to the direction of Tianjin Wei..." The adjutants held Hunchun and fled back.
Hunchun raised his hand and said, "Wait...use a knife to cut open the chicken coop...quickly...finally set it on fire..."
The soldiers faithfully carried out the military orders and did not ask why they took out their bayonets and ran open the chicken coops and duck coops!
The Qing Dynasty was so poor. Industrialization had just begun. How could anyone among the people be willing to use metal to make chicken coops? These are all made of bamboo or wooden strips and tied with fine hemp ropes. They are not strong at all.
With a slight drag of the sharp blade, the long chicken coop was cut open, and the frightened chickens and ducks rushed into the air.
Facts have proved that Hunchun is still very alert, and there is no problem with this response. Just when everyone was evacuating from the back door, the front door was knocked open by the rebels with a bang.
"Kill...search Hunchun...fuck..."
The rebels who rushed in shouting to kill were rushed out by a group of chickens and ducks. Their faces were covered with black and white shadows and flower shadows flying around.
Hunchun threw several bottles of flaming cocktails behind, causing the live birds to fly in the opposite direction. Thousands of birds pushed the rebels out alive.
"Damn it... go around and search the car..."
The panicked rebels rushed into the car without any living people, and saw that in addition to the corpses, there was a command table inside, and the messy military stationery they did not recognize.
"Ah! The big fish has escaped... Grandma's, Hunchun is in the last carriage, damn... tell the prince quickly!"
Zai Tu was so angry that he wanted to slap himself twice, "Damn it, if you don't sit in the front, you sit in the back? You're a born bitch...you bitch!"
"They must have fled towards Tianjin... chase them, send a signal to Ronglu and Yisiha, and why don't they outflank me quickly? What's the use of them?"
Bang bang bang... The signal bomb shot up into the sky. Wang Qingtuo's camp more than ten miles away in the south had already been prepared. The moment the explosion sounded, Ronglu and Yisiha had already sent troops!
The camp was no longer needed, the railings were all pushed down, and the cavalry rushed north like a tide. How could they look like the usual bad soldiers?
All the previous actions such as smoking cigarettes, robbing women, and displaying foot wraps and bellybands in the camp were all to confuse the court!
This camp is filled with the elite of the rebels, all carefully selected ruthless bandits!
The horses' hooves pounded the ground like thunder and they were killed. The villages along the way were already deserted, and the thousands of miles of crop fields became a battlefield for galloping horses.
Ronglu whispered to his subordinates, "Give the west road to Isiha... We are responsible for the east road... If we can take the credit, we can take it. If there is no credit, we can take it..."
"According to our original plan... quickly attack the Tianjin Guard! Help His Majesty defeat the Tianjin Guard. We will be the first to do so!"
"General... aren't you afraid that the Chinese will send troops to intervene?" the direct descendant next to him said in a low voice while riding his horse.
"Haha... Believe me, I have a very good nose. I have this intuition... They will never interfere with us!"
"Okay... listen to the general. In these troubled times, you have to follow the smart people. Don't play with those fools... Hahaha... Kill! Kill Hunchun!"
