"Master, this is also my first time doing this. I do this for the sake of your safety, Master."
Gao Zhang would definitely not tell his master that in order to pursue the effect, he had buried all the Big Ivans he had made in the past few days diagonally under the city wall.
After all, the amount of explosives was so large that even Gao Zhang, who had only played with fish cannons as a child, found it terrifying.
That's why Gao Zhang set up the observation post so far away, because he was a little worried. If he got too close, he would be directly shocked to death by the shock wave, which would be a fool's errand.
Fortunately, the master is still willing to listen to his words, and he is very obedient. He is not at all like Cai Laoliu or Tong Zhisheng, who likes to do the opposite.
Although today, only Master, a member of the Song Dynasty official family, and his close confidants were here, Gao Zhang didn't care.
This is the Song Dynasty. It licks the good officials and the others are scum. Let those civil servants come over.
After seeing such a powerful weapon, one might think that this thing is unlucky, or that it is harmful to Tianhe.
You might even impeach yourself. You, a child prodigy, don't think about how to manage people's livelihood, but you develop these weapons of mass destruction all the time. This is simply a negative example for the literati of the Song Dynasty.
Anyway, Gao Zhang was not willing to have anything to do with these shameless talkers.
All in all, Gao Zhang wanted to make his master understand today that with these treasures, the Song Dynasty will be able to bury the Xingqing Mansion in the sand in the near future.
The master and apprentice just stood here chatting wordlessly, but the official Zhao Ji's eyes never left the city wall.
Even though he had just seen the power of the mine, he still couldn't imagine how such a tall and solid city wall could be blown down.
#####
And those who were responsible for installing the explosive fuses were carefully pulling the fuses one by one and laying them in the appropriate position.
After all, if you want so many explosives to explode at the same time, the stupidest way is to choose fuses of the same length and ignite them together.
As the leads are laid out in the appropriate position, all the leads are gathered together.
Yang Douzhi, who was ordered to cooperate with Gao Zhang, also breathed a sigh of relief. After giving his instructions, he lifted up his front and ran towards the safety observation post at the rear.
When Yang Douzhi stepped into the security observation post, which was half buried underground, he greeted the official and the No. 1 Scholar and reported the matter.
"The officials have already arranged everything and can light the fuses to detonate at any time."
"Let's get started, I can't wait any longer."
Yang Douzhi nodded, quickly arrived outside the observation post, raised his hand and waved vigorously a few times.
Over there, Zhao Yaban, who was responsible for lighting the fuse, saw Yang Douzhi's gesture and without hesitation pressed the burning torch in his hand to the bundled fuse.
The next moment, along with the dense chirping sounds, faint green smoke began to float.
Zhao Abban threw the torch away without hesitation and ran towards the rear desperately.
He had already seen the power of a few kilograms of gunpowder that day, and it was enough to blow away a two hundred kilograms of bluestone.
And the gunpowder buried under that section of the city wall is probably enough to make thousands of bluestone slabs fly.
He, Zhao Yaban, was also a very enterprising person, and he wanted to continue to get promoted and make a fortune, instead of just experimenting with gunpowder weapons.
Because we were far enough away, we couldn't hear the sound of the gunpowder fuse at all.
Just from the sight, you can see green smoke rising from the ground, but it quickly disappears in the wind.
At this moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed extremely depressing.
At this time, Gao Zhang wanted to ask Yang Jian and the others if they had driven their mounts far enough, but they must not scare those timid mounts into trouble.
As blue smoke rises, the originally gray-white leads will turn red, then black, and quickly move towards the city wall.
If you look down from above, you can see densely packed wires, all with green smoke rising, and red and black fire trails, rapidly approaching the city wall.
Finally, when the flame passed through the fuse, it penetrated into the powder bag surrounded by particles of gunpowder.
In an instant, those particles of gunpowder were ignited and then began to expand. As if in the blink of an eye, all the particles of gunpowder were like angry balloons, suddenly increasing countless times in size.
But in this small space, their anger cannot be vented. They can only squeeze and collide with each other, and finally, explode!
Zhao Ji, an official, will never forget today's scene. He saw that where the city wall was originally, there seemed to be a flash of white light that was so bright that it hurt the eyes.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and lowered his head subconsciously.
Then, I felt the solid and heavy earth seeming to be shaking and bumping.
He was almost unsteady, but a hand from the side reached out to hold him in time.
From the corner of his eye, he also saw that as the blazing white light converged, there seemed to be a transparent cover that was beginning to expand in all directions.
But at this time, official Zhao Ji felt like he heard a sound, and then, there was only a piercing scream in his ears.
Then it was like there were countless invisible shovels on the ground, lifting up dust, dirt, debris, and even large and small rocks on the ground, flying towards this side...
#####
Almost everyone's expressions became painful. Even though the two ears were tightly stuffed with cotton, they still felt as if they had been pricked by needles.
At this time, Guan Jia felt a hand pulling on him, and his mind finally returned to his body. He saw Gao Zhang next to him pointing forward and gesticulating excitedly.
Official Zhao Ji looked over there at this time. At this moment, that side was completely covered by the billowing smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen clearly.
However, flying rocks and large pieces of the wall actually flew out of the range covered by thick smoke and dust.
Zhao Ji, an official, stood there blankly, watching blankly as the thick smoke gradually dissipated.
Now, where is the majestic and solid city wall just now? There are some, but most of them have collapsed, and there are no traces of the original ruins at all.
Official Zhao Ji quickly walked out of the security observation post. He had just taken a few steps forward when Gao Zhang raised his hand to stop him, indicating that it was still dangerous there.
Zhao Ji could only reluctantly stop, stand on tiptoe, and look at the ruins, as if the real Xingqing Mansion had collapsed before his eyes.
Zhao Ji opened his mouth and said good job to Gao Zhang, but all he saw was that his beloved disciple pointed to his ears with a silly look on his face and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't hear anything.
Although he knew what he said, Zhao Ji, who couldn't hear him, couldn't help but feel happy. He stretched out his hand, patted Gao Zhang's shoulder, pointed forward, and raised his thumb towards Gao Zhang.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty could only express his praise to his beloved disciple in the most simple way...
