Chapter 537: Twenty taels of silver are deducted
Pang Qi rode his horse around again, and found that all the eight villages had gone up the mountain, so he came to the general Sui, clasped his fists and said:
"General Sui will hand it over to you here, the food will be distributed by the officers and soldiers once per meal, the water will be drunk in turn, no one can go down the mountain, I will go to Ma Ya Mountain to have a look, and I will also inform my family of the situation here."
General Sui hurriedly waved his hand, he knew that this was the most urgent thing, after all, this side had been completed ahead of schedule, and now the rest depended on that side.
"Don't delay, go and return to your life, leave it to us here, and the grain and grass brought will not be a problem for four or five days, and I will explain to the people in a while why I am doing this today, and appease the people."
Pang Qi nodded, did not delay any longer, got on the horse and lay on the horse, and galloped away quickly.
But in a moment, he rushed to the mountainside of Ma Ya Mountain, raised his eyes to see that there seemed to be a flying ball on it, Pang Qi quickly tied the horses, and a few of them went up to the top of the cliff, just in time to see Zhou Heng standing there talking to Boss Xue.
Seeing Pang Qi, Zhou Heng had a hint of surprise on his face.
After all, it is not yet the deadline of two hours, but in an instant, Zhou Heng understood that this was Pang Qi and they had completed the evacuation task early, and hurriedly waved towards Pang Qi.
"Looks like you're going well there?"
Pang Qi nodded and raised his eyes to look at Zhou Heng.
"The subordinates have come to reply to the order, and a total of 1,783 people from the eight villages have all been evacuated to the two caves in Tao'er Mountain, and dry food and water have been distributed, and General Sui and General Fang Zhonglang are guarding there."
Zhou Heng hurriedly helped the person up, and Zhu Yunmo followed over with a satisfied smile on his face and threw an ear of corn to Pang Qi.
"Alright, your work is over, now go find a place to eat dry food and trim it, we are going to move on to the next step."
Seeing that Pang Qi was a little confused, Zhou Hengyi waved his hand.
"If you can't stay idle, just come and see, it's time to start when you're ready."
Pang Qi followed Zhou Heng and walked up, all the earth mine bombs had been loaded into the No. 1 flying ball, Xue Boss and Yao Blacksmith took Pang Ba and Xiao Dong to stand on the edge of the flying ball and wait for instructions, Zhou Heng stood on the edge of the cliff holding a telescope.
After looking at the direction of the wind, and the shape of the edge of the dammed lake, he pointed to the boulder and said:
"The biggest obstruction at the exit of the dammed lake is the big rock, if you blow it up, I'm afraid it won't be easy, but it doesn't matter, after the flying ball passes, throw the earth mine to the edge of the stone, as long as he loosens it slightly, the pressure of the water flow will be released, pushing the wood and gravel next to it to roll down.
You have to be careful, the flying ball must ensure a certain height, throw it down when the earth mine is ignited, calculate the length of the lead, and let people inform Xiao Bo to tie all the people who stay below to the rope, and once there is danger, pull people up as soon as possible. ”
Pang Qi hurriedly clenched his fists, "I'll inform Xiao Bo!" ”
Boss Xue threw a piece of meat into his mouth, wiped his hands on the placket of his clothes, and waved his hand at Zhou Hengyi.
"Childe, rest assured, I personally inspected every soil mine, and the leads on it are selected as the longest, I will control the height in a while, the crosswind here is more serious, we will deviate a little bit to avoid being blown up."
Zhou Heng nodded, just now they had already tested an earth mine, and they knew the time when the lead would be detonated and the distance it would fall into.
"Okay, let's get started, remember that it doesn't matter if you can't blow it up, you have to pay attention to safety."
Blacksmith Yao nodded, "Understand, flying balls can't be lost, this thing is too expensive to fake." ”
Zhou Heng nodded and shook his head again.
"It's not just flying balls, you are also expensive, spend so much effort to cultivate you, I just used it for a few days and can't be damaged, even if it can't be exploded, this dammed lake will overflow sooner or later, but these horses may be lost, we have other ways to make up for it, don't be reckless and remember?"
As soon as these words came out, several people hurriedly saluted Zhou Heng, jumped on the flying ball one after another, and Pang Qi had already run back quickly.
"Childe, I have already told Xiao Bo that those people tied their horses to a distance, and they also tied themselves to the edge of the cliff, and if there is a problem here, they will be pulled up as soon as possible."
After speaking, Pang Qi looked at the rattan basket, Zhou Heng licked his fingers, and stretched his fingers towards the edge of the cliff, his fingers were already dry in four breaths, the wind speed was not fast, now was the best time, Zhou Heng waved the flag in his hand and looked at Boss Xue and them.
"Take off, pay attention to the altitude!"
When Boss Xue heard this, he waved the firewood knife in his hand to cut the rope next to him, turned up the blowtorch, and in an instant, the flying ball gradually rose with a whirring sound.
Boss Xue looked at Gu Nei, and kept instructing Yao Blacksmith and Pang Ba to adjust their direction, gradually control the height of the flying ball, and slowly fly towards the edge of the dammed lake.
Zhou Heng held the telescope and lay directly on the edge of the cliff, after all, it is very dangerous to stand here, but this action is safer.
Seeing the flying ball flying to the edge of the dammed lake, Boss Xue tried his best to control the flying ball so that it did not hover at the tuyere, but leaned towards the mountain on the opposite side, Zhu Yunmo was puzzled for a while, and quickly put down the binoculars.
"Why do you have to lean on the mountain, isn't it more convenient to be on the mouth?"
Zhou Heng didn't let go of the binoculars, his eyes were staring straight ahead, watching them make minor adjustments.
"Now because of the flow of water and the lack of trees below, it has formed its own microclimate, and the crosswind can't see anything here, but at the bottom of the valley, especially in that mountain pass, the crosswind is very difficult to control, and I didn't see Yao Blacksmith struggling to pedal, just to let the flying ball control the balance."
Only then did Zhu Yunmo understand, nodded and raised the telescope to look carefully.
It seemed that they had finished adjusting, Boss Xue tied a few people with ropes, and then raised the earth mine, ignited it with a fire breaker, held the earth mine with both hands, aimed at the direction, and threw the earth mine down with force.
Zhou Heng snorted, slapped the grass in front of him hard, and stood up directly.
"This kid doesn't know how hard he is, so he threw it like this, and smashed it on the stone before it exploded."
Zhu Yunmo didn't understand why Zhou Heng was annoyed, so he hurriedly took two steps towards the edge of the cliff, and looked carefully at the valley mouth, next to the stone on the edge of the dammed lake, it seemed to have been smashed, and there was a splash of water next to it, and there seemed to be no movement.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Heng glared, glanced at Zhu Yunmo, and said angrily:
"As soon as the lead is wet, it will be extinguished naturally, what can I do, if I waste a soil mine, I must deduct money, remember this matter, Boss Xue wasted a soil mine today, and deducted twenty taels of silver."
Zhu Yunmo: "......"
Pang Qi: "......"
"What do you see, a soil mine is silver, I don't understand this?"
Zhu Yunmo shrugged, "Okay, you have the final say!" But that thing wasn't spent on my father, he just had to pay the bill! ”
Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face instantly.
"yes, you're still smart!"
As he spoke, he raised the telescope again, and sure enough, the earth mine did not explode, but Boss Xue had already raised the second earth mine, and this time he did not throw it directly, but lit the fuse and held it for a while.
Seeing that half of it was burned, it was thrown directly next to the stone, probably because of too much force, the entire rattan basket shook with it, and Yao Blacksmith grabbed Boss Xue's collar from behind, so that he didn't continue to shake.
At the same time, as soon as the earth mine touched the edge of the stone, it exploded with a loud bang, and the whole valley was filled with echoes, and the rubble and clods of earth instantly burst into the surroundings, and the rattan basket also splashed a lot.
Several people shook their heads, shook off the dirt on their bodies, and quickly looked down, and there seemed to be a small gap next to the stone, from which there was still a stream of water.
Before everyone could be happy, a piece of broken wood lay directly there, and the water that flowed out in an instant stopped flowing again.
Boss Xue was not convinced, he spat at the palm of his hand, this time he picked up two earth mines, lit them together, and then waited for a while, threw them directly on the soil under the boulder, and then yelled at Xiao Dong:
"Hurry up, let's get some up!"
Xiao Dong was taken aback, and hurriedly turned up the blowtorch, and with the sound of puff, the flying ball swayed upwards a little.
At that moment, the two earth mines exploded, and the boulder jumped up and fell on the spot again, this time with more dirt flying, and some of the gravel hit the flying ball with a thumping sound.
Boss Xue slapped the edge of the basket, his face full of anger.
"Damn, why did you fall back to the same place?"
