East Factory Governor

Chapter 89 Attack on Heziwan ([-]) Fire attack
Zhang Lupi is an old man in Qinglong Hall, and now he is the little leader of the hall, with ten younger brothers under him.However, after this battle, three of the ten younger brothers died and one was seriously injured. When he thought about it, he felt sad and felt tight in his chest.

With the remaining six men, he carefully searched the seemingly abandoned warehouse.Now he is in a very low mood, he didn't make any merits this time, he only killed one member of the Cao Gang, but lost nearly half of his subordinates, and now the brothers look at him a little wrongly.

Others' younger brothers were killed in battle. Except for the pensions issued by the hall, the boss would subsidize their families with some silver from his own private money, but I have been unlucky recently, and the 50 taels of snowflake silver I issued last time has almost been lost. I don't have much savings on weekdays. If I can't make meritorious service and receive no reward this time, what else can I give to the brothers who died in battle?Qinglong Hall has always emphasized that the capable go up and the incompetent go down. After this time, there will definitely be a group of people with merit who will be promoted.

Thinking about it, suddenly his feet loosened.

Squatting down to take a closer look, I found that the soil under my feet was much softer than the one next to it, and there was obviously something wrong.So he scraped away the soil, and suddenly found a square iron sheet underneath, the size of which was just a little wider than the width of a person's shoulders.

Zhang donkey skin has been in the hall for more than ten years, with rich experience, he immediately judged that this is the entrance of a cellar or an underground passage!
The blood all over his body was ignited all of a sudden, if there were people from the Cao Gang hiding here, he would have made a great contribution!
So he quickly whispered to one of his subordinates, "Go and call someone!"

Not long after, three NO.50 people gathered at the entrance.Everyone started to pry the iron plate, but they couldn't pry it open.But it doesn't matter, if you can't pry it open, just scrape off the dirt next to it?So everyone started digging the surrounding soil, and when they were about to dig, they heard a burst of panicked footsteps coming from the bottom!
Zhang Lupi was relieved now, the people from the Cao Gang were indeed hiding here, no wonder they couldn't find them!

Damn, now it's finally my turn to show off!
He immediately opened his donkey-like voice and shouted, "Come on, where are these bastards!"

This shout was heard by almost half of the yard, and dozens of people gathered around at once!
Everyone worked together to lift the iron plate, only to see the black hole below, and there was no movement.

"What should I do? Go down and have a look?" Someone asked.

Zhang Lupi smiled darkly, and said, "Have you ever caught gophers in the mountains? If you want the gophers to come out, do you still need people to go down?"

A few smart ones understood immediately when they heard it, and immediately ran to the warehouse to bring a pile of flammable goods such as cotton and wooden boxes, and threw them in one after another, then took out a torch and lit it, and then covered it with iron with a sneer. plate.

"Haha, these are called fire-smoked gophers, let's see if they can come out!" Zhang Donkey Pi was extremely proud.

Thick smoke soon came out from the ground, and Zhang Donkey Pi and others standing on the ground couldn't open their eyes, but these guys laughed even more happily.

However, what happened next was not quite what they had imagined.Nearly a hundred people waited at the entrance of the cave for a long time without seeing anyone coming out. After a while, they heard a cry of killing from seven or eighty meters away.

Zhang Lupi immediately slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oops, Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, these grandsons ran out from another exit, everyone, hurry up and help!"

Zhang Lupi's guess was right, a large group of Cao Gang members suddenly appeared from the back of another warehouse, most of these people's faces were covered in ashes, and their eyes were still choked with tears!

After discovering the target, Qin Shuhuai immediately ordered people to surround him.There were nearly 200 ambush soldiers in this group, and there were also three experts in the Xuantong Realm among them. The two sides immediately started a fierce fight.

Qin Shuhuai still personally went into battle, according to the old method, first killed the three Xuantong Realm, and then led others to crush them.There is no suspense in annihilating these 200 people, now it depends on whether the ambushes from other places will come to rescue them!

On the quiet river, eight small boats sailed at high speed.

This kind of small boat can only seat about ten people per boat, and eight boats can carry more than 80 people in total.

On the boat, there were 25 people in charge of shooting rockets. Although none of these people were professional archers, they were all warriors in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It would not be a problem to shoot arrows with flaming tips into the boat.In addition, there are 25 people who are responsible for throwing the kerosene cotton cloth, all of whom are carefully selected with strong arms, and the other [-] are strong crossbowmen.

When the small boat was [-] meters away from the big boat docked on the shore, suddenly a person came out of the big boat, waved a flag to signal that the small boat was not allowed to approach, and immediately retreated.

But no one listened to him.

The small boat quickly approached the big boat, and then porcelain bottles filled with kerosene and cotton cloth were thrown onto the boat one by one.

Not long after, a series of flaming arrows whizzed towards them, quickly igniting the liquid and cotton cloth.

One fire, two fires, three fires...

Burn, spread...

The big wooden boat is the best fuel, and the gentle breeze on the river becomes an accomplice to the fire, and the fire instantly develops into a monstrous trend, like huge monsters devouring everything on the boat.

The three big ships instantly became hell on earth.

There were bursts of heart-piercing wailing sounds on the boat, and people kept jumping into the water with fire all over their bodies.

Then, more people rushed to the shore like locusts. Some people slipped and fell to the ground, taking them down all at once, but no one cared about them. More people rushed up from behind, stepping on their bodies and jumping to shore.

But the people who went ashore didn't have a good time. What awaited them was a dense rain of arrows.Thirty crossbowmen, as long as they shoot three consecutive volleys, they can shoot ninety strong crossbows.After the archers finished shooting the rockets, they also switched to ordinary arrows and shot towards the dense crowd on the shore.There are too many people and the distance is close. Even if they are not good at shooting, they can easily kill many people.

At this time, the cable connecting the ship and the dock was blown, and the big ship began to leave the shore slowly under the action of the current and wind.Those who hadn't disembarked chose to jump into the river between burning to death and jumping into the river.

But once they entered the river, they became better targets.Crossbow arrows, bows and arrows greeted them mercilessly and sent them off for the last time.

It wasn't until the fire raged for five or six minutes that the opponent's archers came late and shot arrows at the boat.However, the eight small boats had already made preparations and erected thick baffles one after another. The crossbowmen hid behind the baffles and continued to slaughter through the small holes half a foot square.

Seeing that something was wrong, the Cao Gang immediately sent people to make rockets on the spot, intending to fight back with fire.

But before they could make a few, the more than 900 crossbows of the [-] crossbowmen at Qinglongtang had all been fired, and the eight small boats drove away.

Lying on the bow of the boat, Lai San'er visually observed the results of the battle, and saw a thick layer of corpses on the pier, there were as many as six to seventy people.And there were more corpses floating on the river, at least twice as many as on the pier. Apart from dyeing the river red, so many corpses almost blocked the river, making it impossible for boats to go out.

Counting those who were directly burned to death on the boat, it is preliminarily estimated that at least 300 members of the Cao Gang were killed in this sneak attack!

Lai San'er was proud for a while, but after thinking about it, his back turned cold. There are so many people hiding on the boat, if they directly kill them this time, the whole army of Qinglongtang will be wiped out!
But at this time, something unexpected happened at the yard!
