Volume 1: Young Ambition, Emerging Chapter 43 Qingcheng was attacked, and the thunder and fire crisis were in crisis
The enemy ship was found at sea, but there was no human figure, and Qingcheng asked for an order to take the wind and Liang Feng and three thousand soldiers to the island to find out. The Marquis of Zhenhai stayed in the army and waited for the signal.
After landing on the island, Qingcheng ordered 3,000 soldiers to search the whole island in six directions with a team of 500 people. I thought that there would be an enemy ambush, but I searched the whole island, but I didn't see a single figure. Instead, some traces of making a fire were found, and some fresh water had been stored.
Even so, there must have been people living on the island, but after thinking about it, Qingcheng thought that it could not be ruled out that there were fishermen who lived on the island. After all, the territory of Daqi is vast, and the sea is even more land than the land, and it is very possible that there are one or two small islands that are inhabited but have not been discovered.
After Qingcheng led people to search the island for about an hour, the six detachments converged at the agreed place and reported the results of the search. There was nothing to find on the wind's side, and Liang Feng found a cave, but there was no light in the cave, and there was probably an ambush, so Liang Feng did not search deeply.
There is no clear trace of pirates on the island, but the enemy ship was identified by the Marquis of Zhenhai and was indeed a Haichuan warship, which shows that this island must have something to do with the Haichuan people. So Qingcheng thought about it again and again, and after taking a look at what several detachments had found, he decided to go to the cave described by Liang Feng and find out.
"The boat couldn't have drifted here on its own, I don't think there was that kind of coincidence, so there must be someone on this island. If you come, you will be safe, Brother Liang, let's go to that cave and have a look. ”
After speaking, Qingcheng and the others came to the front of the cave under the guidance of Liang Feng, and Qingcheng found that the scale of this cave is not small, and it is roughly estimated that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. And there is a stream outside the cave, which is very suitable for living.
After thinking about it, Qingcheng made a decision and said, "Brother Liang, you have worked hard to bring 2,000 people to wait outside the cave, and I will take 1,000 people in to investigate, if you find anything, I will find a way to inform you." ”
As soon as he heard that Qingcheng was going to take someone in to check it in person, Liang Feng wanted to speak and stopped, looking a little entangled. After a pause, he nodded and said, "Well, with your ability, I don't think there will be any problems." This cave transmits sound so well that if there are ghosts inside, you can hear them all the soldiers shouting. Be careful. ”
"Okay."
After that, Qingcheng selected a thousand soldiers and entered the cave with the wind. And Liang Feng stood outside the cave and watched his disappearing figure, as if he was a little hesitant, and there were some indescribable feelings in it, and in the end, he was relieved and stood by with peace of mind.
After entering the cave, Qingcheng and the wind were in front, and a thousand soldiers were divided into twenty squads, each group of fifty people was a group, and each group of soldiers formed a circle with their backs to their backs, and walked slowly. At the same time, Qingcheng also arranged the tasks of each team, the five teams are responsible for collecting clues along the way, the five teams are responsible for checking whether there is any unfavorable situation in the cave along the way, the five teams behind the palace are responsible for making marks along the way, and the five teams in front are always on standby, responsible for encountering the enemy.
In this way, he slowly advanced about a stick of incense, and Qingcheng, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and it turned out to be a fork in the road.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Hurricane said, "Young Master, you and I will each take five hundred people to march separately?" ”
"No", listening to the suggestion of the wind, Qingcheng said without thinking: "The environment in the cave has not yet been understood, and the probability of setting up an ambush inside is not small, so it is unwise to divide the troops rashly." Anyway, there is no need to divide the troops on these two roads, just leave two squads to guard here, and the rest of the people will take the left road first, and if there is no situation, then turn back and search the other side. ”
With that, Qingcheng left two squads behind and continued to move forward with Blizzle and the rest of the people. After a while, there was a fire in the cave, and even more, a faint sound gradually came out, as if someone was eating.
Qingcheng and Hurricane glanced at each other, and both clenched their weapons tightly and became vigilant. After a short walk along this road, the environment in the cave was completely clear, and from here, there were torches on the stone walls of the cave, and there was a lot of food and wine on the ground on both sides, and it seemed that people had lived here.
And when they reached the end of the road, the sound from inside became clearer that there were indeed people eating and drinking. Listening to the sound in his ears only a few steps away, Qingcheng ran the internal power and electric brilliance, lifted the internal force, concentrated on the palm and the soles of the feet, and then rushed out with an arrow step, and rushed to the front of the person inside with electric light.
"This ...... Not good! ”
However, when he rushed out and saw what he saw, he was shocked. There was only one person sitting casually at the end of the road, with wine and food on both sides of him, and the sound that came out just now was the movement of this person eating meat and drinking.
But there is only one person, so naturally there is nothing to be afraid of. However, what shocked Qingcheng was that behind and under the feet of this person, there were piles of jet-black jars, and there were leads at the mouth of the jars. Qingcheng went out with his father when he was young, and it is naturally not difficult to recognize that this is a "thunder fire bomb" made of black fire medicine and a secret jar. What's more, this man has a torch at hand, and it looks like it can be lit and detonated at any time.
"Thunder fire bomb" is developed from black fire medicine and secret jars, the mouth of the can will have a lead, the jar is filled with flammable and explosive black fire medicine, the lead will burn smoothly after ignition, and finally detonate the "thunder fire bomb". Because the fire that rises when the special lead is burned, it is accompanied by a hint of blue and purple, so it is called "thunder fire bomb".
"Thunder Fire Bomb" belongs to the artillery weapons strictly controlled by Daqi, and its power is really amazing, to put it simply, the amount around this person in front of him is enough to destroy the entire cave.
The "Thunder Fire Bomb" is a blasting weapon equipped by the Daqi artillery unit, and it was developed by the Daqi Arsenal, so the first thing Qingcheng was shocked was that there was such an astonishing number of "Thunder Fire Bombs" in the hands of the person in front of him.
Black fire medicine, known as the "mysterious oriental magic", is a unique weapon of mass destruction in Daqi, and it is also one of the weapons that Daqi deters the world. So far, I have never heard of any foreign race or subject country developing a black fire medicine, so the person in front of me who knew that it was a Haichuan person would have a "thunder bomb" in his hand at a glance, which naturally shocked Qingcheng.
"Each garrison will be equipped with a certain amount of gunpowder, and there will naturally be thunder bombs, but such a number is really amazing. No wonder these Haichuan people dared to provoke my Daqi, I couldn't imagine that the inner ghost even gave them such an artifact. However, now is not the time to think about this, this number of thunder bombs ......"
This was the second thing that shocked Qingcheng. The simultaneous detonation of these lightning bombs was powerful enough to level the cave, leaving all the people in the cave with no bones left. However, when it comes to the Haichuan man, he was eating and drinking, eating meat and drinking a lot, which was very pleasant, but when he saw the sudden appearance of Qingcheng, his reaction at that moment was also shocked. At the same time, there was some confusion in his expression.
And in the gap between the two of them, the man's hand had already quietly touched the torch beside him, and he was no longer surprised, but looked generous and righteous, and laughed loudly.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Qingcheng didn't dare to hesitate, he understood what the person in front of him was going to do, which could be seen from both the layout here and the performance of this person. And he wasn't completely sure he could stop this man's movements.
Therefore, Qingcheng hurriedly responded, only to see him quickly throw out the sword in his hand, which hit the man's heart, making his movements slow down slightly. Immediately afterwards, Qingcheng took a step back, and urgently ordered the wind to quickly lead people out of the cave, while he operated the internal force to the highest realm, and concentrated his palms to exert force, only to hear him shout, and his palms hit the stone walls on both sides.
"Drink!"
Qingcheng's skills are profound, and his palm strength is extremely strong, and after he exerts his strength, he also retreats quickly to the outside of the cave. And the stone wall he had just hit shattered in response to his powerful palm attack, and the cracks extended to the top of the cave along both sides. For a while, the rubble continued to scatter, forming a barrier that sealed the road, and even sealed the person inside at the end of the road.
"Young master, why are you so alarmed?"
"There's a thunderbolt, run!"
As soon as he heard that there were thunder bombs in the cave, although the wind was also confused, he knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly led the soldiers to retreat outside the cave. And at this moment, the Haichuan people held on to the fatal wound in their hearts, and finally struggled to light the lead in their hands, and the red and blue flames rose, burning along the lead to the mouth of the can, and finally, the black fire medicine in the jar was ignited......
"Long live the Emperor! Long live Haichuan! ”
"Bang!"
The man finally recited silently, with a resolute expression, and died under Qingcheng's sword. And with a loud explosion, the thunder bomb exploded in response, and a rumbling sound accompanied by a scorching impact swept through the surrounding stone walls, causing them to shatter inch by inch, and there was no resistance to it.
Although the barrier set up by Qingcheng blocked the first round of impact, as the thunder bombs inside exploded one by one, the barrier could no longer resist it, and was shattered by the unparalleled impact, and this impact continued to spread, and everywhere it went, the stone walls were shattered, and the entire cave was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Qingcheng and the others had already converged the two squads that stayed at the fork in the road, and were rushing out of the cave at the fastest pace. And when he heard the earth-shattering explosion, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"It's too light! I almost suffered the way of the Haichuan people. The barrier I set up couldn't withstand the impact of the explosion of two thunder bombs, let alone so many of them. Once the barrier is destroyed, the speed of the impact can level the entire cave in a matter of moments. Just me and the wind can't guarantee that we will be able to escape, let alone ordinary soldiers. These Haichuan people are really brutes, and they can have this kind of suicidal ambush, and there are so many thunder and fire bombs. ”
As he moved forward at great speed, Qingcheng had already seen the daylight, but the scorching impact behind him was getting closer and closer. The wind that had already rushed to the entrance of the cave didn't have time to explain to Liang Feng, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers who were waiting outside to retreat, and shouted at the cave with eager concern: "Young master, come out quickly!" ”
Qingcheng didn't fail to run, but after he felt the impact of getting closer and closer behind him, he took the initiative to stop and let the soldiers go first. And when he fell to the back, feeling the destructive power that would strike after a while, he knotted the "Thunder Light Gathering Top Seal" with both hands, which was the manifestation of the highest skill of condensing the electric radiance.
The power was running to the highest level, Qingcheng's body was surging, and his eyes were like torches, but after seeing him shout, he threw the thunderbolt next to him sideways to the rear, and the head and tail of the gun pressed against the stone walls on both sides, so as to block the rolling stones and impact behind him.
Although the spear is extremely hard, the gold and stone are indestructible, and the water and fire are invulnerable, after hitting the impact, the thunder and lightning did not damage in the slightest, but it did not last long, and it was hit back by the powerful momentum, and flew quickly to the outside of the cave.
Qingcheng mobilized the highest level of internal force, gathered the soles of his feet, and rushed forward with the body method of electric light. He spread his arms wide and pushed the few soldiers who were running at the back out of the hole.
However, after doing this, Qingcheng fell to the ground with all his strength, and it was too late to escape......
