Chapter 172: Bombing the Island

The bird gun is also known as the magic gun, it is a sharp weapon in the army, it is easy not to show people, and there are more in the north and less in the south, Yunyang Mansion is not south or north, the garrison is tens of thousands, the equipment is only more than 600 bird guns, and there are 500 guns, all of which are placed in the camp outside the city, and they are not even sent to the north to quell the chaos.

Therefore, when he heard that the captain of Jinyi wanted to secondment a hundred guns, the garrison Zang Lian only replied: "Wishful thinking." ”

The prefect Wu Yuan personally came to the door to ask on his behalf, he couldn't mention the Shaobao lord's business, he could only know it with reason, move it with affection, and lure it to benefit, and finally persuaded Zang Lian.

"Fifty people, no more, even so, I am taking a big risk, if the military department asks......"

"Jinyiwei and Xichang are in charge, Hu Guiyang is holding the sticker, and he will explain to the Ministry of War himself." Wu Yuan was very cautious and never mentioned himself.

In this way, Hu Guiyang lent 50 gunners and 100 horse-foot officers and soldiers and went straight to the nameless river island in the south of the city.

Yunyang Mansion out of the city is the river, go out to the southwest for a few miles to see the river island, the island is very small, overgrown with grass and trees, looking from afar, like a dark green boat parked in the river.

If you want to go to the island, there is no way to go, you can only use the boat, Hu Guiyang does not want to land on the island immediately, he wants to fulfill the promise he has said many times, as soon as he sees He Million, he will be killed, and even before the meeting, he will make a move.

One hundred and fifty officers and soldiers lined up on the shore, and a soldier with a loud voice shouted to the island: "Jinyi guards catch thieves, if there are unrelated people on the island, show up immediately!" ”

The island is closer to Yunyang City, and if the people on the island want to go ashore, they can only swim here.

The sun was setting, shining on the river and red, and no one on the island responded.

There were several small boats in the upstream and downstream watching and finding that the momentum was not right, and they all ran farther away.

Hu Guiyang did not let the officers and soldiers shout a second time, and ordered the rockets to be released.

More than a dozen arrows flew across the river with flames and landed on the island, which did not bring any noticeable change at first, and after the second round of arrows, the fire on the island was connected, and the grass and trees crackled and burned, merging with the afterglow of the setting sun.

A string of birds flew off the island, and a few small beasts jumped into the water in a hurry, but there was nothing alive else.

The officers and soldiers just acted as ordered, their faces remained silent, and only Fan Dajian came with Hu Guiyang's side, and then whispered: "Is your news reliable?" ”

Ah Yin is a dwarf who is very strange from his dress to his personality, but Hu Guiyang felt that he would not lie deliberately, and said with a smile: "Just think of it as a fireworks." ”

"Hey, the price of this fireworks is not small, do you want to put a few guns?"

"Good idea." Hu Guiyang immediately said to the accompanying officers: "Put two rows of guns." ”

Fan Dajian said in surprise: "I'm just joking......"

The gunners have already been prepared, lined up in three rows, and the first two rows are released one after another, aiming at Jiangdao, and there is no fixed target.

The sound of the gun was deafening, and the boat in the distance retreated further, Fan Dajian covered his ears, a little nostalgic for the feeling of letting go of the gun.

Before dark, the fire on the island gradually subsided, only a few remnants of fire remained, all the vegetation was burned, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes could see clearly, and there was no figure on it.

Fan Dajian comforted: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and He Million will be caught sooner or later." ”

Hu Guiyang did not give up, and said to the officer: "Send three ships." ”

It was a little far from the city, and the officers sent people upstream to summon the civilian boats.

Fan Dajian said: "It's been burned to the ground, what else are you looking for?" ”

Hu Guiyang pointed to the river, "There is a depression in the middle of the island, I want to go up and take a look." ”

Fan Dajian shook his head impatiently.

A few brave fishermen propped up the boat and went down the river, and soon came to the shore to make room for the loading of officers and soldiers, and only seven or eight people could be taken with them at a time.

Hu Guiyang boarded the second batch of boats, and the old fishermen saw that he was dressed differently from the officers and soldiers, and boldly asked: "What is there on Little Turtle Island?" ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "It's called Little Turtle Island? ”

The old fisherman used his strength to prop up, the boat went offshore, and quickly ran to the island, "Look at its appearance, does it look like a king floating on the water?" ”

"Like." After the island was burned, it looked more like a turtle shell.

The old fisherman held on again, and the boat was not far from the island, so he took the opportunity to reach out and point downstream, "There is also an old turtle island over there, which is more like a mile than this." ”

The old fishermen only held out three times, and the boat had already come to the edge of the island, Hu Guiyang jumped on it and was caught by the officers and soldiers.

The boat went back and forth, transporting more than 30 officers and soldiers, Hu Guiyang felt that it was enough, ordered the fishing boat to wait, led the troops to open the way with knives, and walked to the middle of the island.

Fan Dajian couldn't help but follow, muttering in his mouth, judging that this trip would definitely end without a problem.

As the sun set and the sky was already dark, several officers and men lit torches to lead the way, but in fact, it was not far, and they arrived in a few steps.

In the middle of the island, there is a lot of vegetation on the whole island, but here there is no grass, so it is not affected by the fire, but it is covered with a layer of ash, and there is nothing other than that.

Hu Guiyang looked at it for a while, then stepped into the pit again, returned to the high place, and asked the fishermen waiting on the island: "Is there always a pit on the turtle's shell?" ”

The old fisherman craned his neck and glanced at it, "I went to the island ten days ago, and there were no pits at that time, no pits, and there was a big rock in the middle. ”

The other two fishermen also nodded, "When I was a child, I always went to the island to play, and it was always a stone." Everyone said that the stone sealed the little turtle's air pocket, and as soon as the stone moved, Wang Ba would swim away. Now that the stone is gone, and Wang Ba is still there, it seems that the rumors are not credible. ”

Fan Dajian suddenly felt strange, stepped on the pit again, asked for a torch from an officer and soldier, looked everywhere, kicked away the ashes and floating soil with his foot, looked up and said: "There are still stones underneath, it doesn't look like there is a mechanism." ”

Among the officers and men who went to the island, there were 15 gunners and 20 swordsmen and gunners, and Hu Guiyang ordered them: "Surround the island, no matter what pops out of the pit, you will be killed." ”

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, they were all a little timid, they were not afraid of the riotous mob, but they had no confidence in the face of ghosts who could not tell the origin.

Hu Guiyang smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'll go get some gunpowder and blow up this Wang Ba." Fan Zhenren also stayed on the island, and if there were monsters, he could stop them. ”

Fan Zhenren was famous in Yunyang City, and the officers and soldiers were immediately at ease, and even a few fishermen on the island were also brightly eyed, staring at the old road.

Fan Dajian was surprised, "Huh? I'm going to stay? How long? ”

"An hour at most."

Hu Guiyang didn't explain much, took a boat back to the shore, took out the broken silver to reward the fishermen, and the three of them said that they didn't want anything, and volunteered to serve Fan Zhenren.

Hu Guiyang asked the fishing boat to stay for another hour, and he took a few people back to the city.

Please use gunpowder and let the prefect Wu Yuan try his best, and the garrison Zang Lian finally agreed, but asked Hu Guiyang to write an IOU and draw a pledge in case the boss inquired.

When Hu Guiyang returned to the riverside, it was already completely dark, torches illuminated both sides, and there were more fishing boats upstream and downstream to see the excitement, and they all lit torches, but it was quite lively, they all came to see Fan Zhenren to catch demons.

The gunpowder was too small to carry with him, and Hu Guiyang asked for ten bags, which the guards claimed was enough to blow down a thick section of the wall.

The three fishermen enthusiastically transported the gunpowder to the island, and at the same time there was still a little question, only the old fisherman dared to ask: "Fan Zhenren doesn't use magic to catch demons?" ”

"The gunpowder explodes the exit, and the real people cast spells to catch demons, each performing its own duties." Hu Guiyang explained, and several fishermen suddenly realized.

The pit on the island had been cleared, and there were still stones under the floating soil, and the gunpowder was put into the pit, and then carefully pressed with stones, and all the officers and men withdrew to the shore, and the fishing boats sailed downstream, reminding the onlookers to stay away.

The officers and soldiers also retreated, Fan Dajian pretended to perform a trick, and the two archers again released rockets on the island.

As soon as the rocket landed in the middle of the island, it caused a big explosion, which shook the earth, and the river was almost cut off.

The officers and men on the shore were the most unlucky, pressing the stones on the gunpowder bags was obviously a stupid trick, and the explosion was together, and the rubble flew one after another, faster than the arrows, and some of them went straight to the shore, although the officers and soldiers retreated dozens of steps, they still failed to ensure safety, and many people were hit by stones, and they screamed.

The officers and men turned and fled, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

Hu Guiyang didn't expect the force of the explosion to be so great, and he bent down to avoid the flying stones, but his eyes didn't leave the island.

The explosion dissipated, and the burned island burned again, but the momentum quickly waned and could not be maintained for long.

Occasionally, gravel landings in the world, Hu Guiyang ventured to the river alone to observe the island from a closer distance.

A corner of the island was smashed open, and the river water flowed into the pit, but it did not overflow, and the power of the explosion was not small, but it was impossible to blow up a deep pit that could not even be filled by the river.

Hu Guiyang became excited, turned around and said loudly: "Come here, set up the formation, and prepare the spear ......"

Fan Dajian, who was on the other side, suddenly shouted: "Be careful! ”

Hu Guiyang hurriedly turned around, only to see that something flew out of the pit on the island against the current, and it landed again, this time he could see clearly that it was a person.

"Release!" Hu Guiyang ordered loudly.

The formation of officers and soldiers was out of order, and the guns came from a distance, casting them in the air at will, and there were bursts of sounds, but they were not on the head, Fan Dajian waved his arms and reminded: "Don't hit Captain Hu!" ”

There were only fifty shots in the bird's gun, and because there was no formation, all the rounds were released, and the gunners had to reload their ammunition, and the power was temporarily lost, and the other soldiers rushed with swords and guns, but they could not reach immediately.

Only Hu Guiyang was the closest, and watched the man rise and fall like a big bird, jumping from the island to the shore and stopping a few steps opposite Hu Guiyang.

"It's really you!" Hu Guiyang laughed, the wooden card in his left hand protected his heart, and his right hand had already installed the receiver "Lingyu", because there was no heart, the receiver could only shoot a thin line, which was not very powerful, but it was Hu Guiyang's most useful means.

He didn't expect to defeat or kill the other party with this move, but he had to send it, escape, can't escape, wait, can't wait, he has no other choice but to fight hard.

Knowing that his skills were far inferior to the other party, Hu Guiyang was not discouraged, and still laughed and made a move, as if he could easily succeed.

The end of the thin line hit the target's cheek, and then retracted, and Hu Guiyang was about to make a second move, but the other party actually fell.

It was indeed He Million, three jumps showed his profundity, but he fell to the ground under a light blow.

Hu Guiyang was taken aback, took two steps forward to check, and saw that He Million was also staring at him, with blood stains in many places on his body, which turned out to be seriously injured.

"See, what have you done?" He asked angrily.

"Avenge my father-in-law." Hu Guiyang put away the receiver and took out the dagger.

"You're going to kill everyone!"

Hu Guiyang raised his eyes and looked at the small island in the river, only to see a water column spewing out of the pit, getting higher and higher, and the most amazing thing was that the water column actually contained a pure red jade pendant.
