Chapter 680: Cliff Horror
Just when the people in the secret passage were about to repay the country with death, the god they were thinking about, Jinyi Wei Qinglong, finally appeared in front of them like a divine soldier descending from the sky. Pulled them back from the precipice of despair.
Zhu Qing led the reinforcements to slash and kill the Dutch invaders in the secret passage, and after a while, the Dutch, who were still unscrupulous, fell silent.
After Zhu Qing cleaned up the scene, he hurriedly went to visit his two subordinates. The two were scarred and exhausted, but fortunately, the injuries were not fatal. Zhu Qing patted his subordinates on the shoulders with feeling, "Good job, worthy of being a Qinglongmen soldier!" As he spoke, he asked the accompanying military doctor to help the two down for treatment.
Although the internal guards and guards escaped, Zhu Qing couldn't help but feel sad in his heart when he saw the dozens of Qinglongmen elites they brought out fall in Penghu forever.
However, now is not the time to be sad, and before Zhu Qing could catch his breath, a guard came to report from outside the secret passage.
"General Qiyu, another wave of enemies is coming over here!"
"How many people?" Zhu Qing asked.
"The scene is not small, no less than a thousand people."
"Thousand?!" Zhu Qing was shocked, no matter how powerful he and his Jinyi Guards were, their fists were hard to beat with four hands, and the encounter of the internal guards was consumed because of the enemy's wheel battle.
Zheng Xuan took He Bin back to Kinmen, and after telling Zhu Qing about the situation on Penghu Island, he hurriedly summoned fifty elite ships to rush to support the "Qinglong".
Although when he first came, he was caught off guard by killing the enemy in the secret passage, but it was obvious that he had already alarmed the outpost and the surrounding Dutch army, and the ghost village had repeatedly caused them heavy losses, this time, it must have been the enemy army on Penghu Island who poured out their nests and vowed not to give up if they did not destroy the ghost village.
"General, while the shrine hasn't been surrounded yet, let's kill it!" A brocade guard suggested.
Zhu Qing paced back and forth in the cave for a few steps, pondering, and shook his head, "No, the enemy is already familiar with the ghost village, let's go out now, just in the mouth of the sheep, not only can we not kill it, but it is more likely that the whole army will be wiped out." ”
Zhu Qing has always been quite sure in the war, and it is indeed not easy to say such a thing as the annihilation of the whole army from his mouth, obviously, this time, they are facing a greater challenge.
Fifty people against a thousand Dutch soldiers armed with firearms, this battle has no chance of winning, in Zhu Qing's opinion, it can't be fought!
"We can't just sit back and die, can we?"
"Yes, General, even if it is to defend, we should choose another place, this secret passage has already been crumbling by both the enemy and us, and it is easy for Yangmaozi to attack it."
“……”
All his subordinates proposed, and some said that it was better to rush out and fight to the death with the enemy; It is also said that if you go out at this time, you will die and hit a stone with an egg......
However, Zhu Qing was unmoved by anyone, the more at this time, the more calm he had to be, because now they are already alone, and they all lose the whole game if they are not careful, such a chess game, Zhu Qing can't afford to lose, Jinyiwei can't afford to lose, and Daming can't afford to lose! Because they face a terrible enemy. A Western bandit. He can not steal the country, but it is most likely to lead to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Qing walked out while thinking, and walked to the edge of the cliff in a flash. When he saw the vines hanging on the cliff, he was suddenly overjoyed, and reached out to grab them, but suddenly his heart was cold, these straws that could have saved his life were obviously just cut by man.
Seeing that Zhu Qing was quite disappointed with the broken vine, the old village chief walked over on crutches, and said to himself, "General, the broken vine is really done by the old decay, and I hope the general will be guilty." As he spoke, the old village chief bowed to Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing hurriedly got up and helped the old man up.
"The matter has come to this, and the village chief does not have to blame himself. It's just that Zhu Qing doesn't know something, these vines are obviously life-saving roads, but why do they want to cut them off? Zhu Qing wondered.
"Don't hide it from the general, when the general has not arrived, we have already reported the heart of death, in order to prevent the enemy from going down the vine and chasing and killing the villagers who have fled, we cut off the vine to prevent future troubles, I never thought about it...... Hey......" said the old village chief, shaking his head with a long sigh.
Zhu Qing gently patted the old man's shoulder and comforted, "The old village chief doesn't have to blame himself, if it were me, he would have made this choice." ”
Seeing that the old village chief was relieved, Zhu Qing asked, "By the way, how deep is this cliff?" ”
"About ten feet long." The village chief replied.
"Ten battles? It's just over thirty meters ......," Zhu Qing muttered, and everyone was puzzled.
Suddenly, Zhu Qing turned around, and with a happy face, he ordered his opponent, "Hurry up and get the rope, our rope climbing is ten meters, and if you connect the three ropes together, you can reach the bottom of the cliff." ”
After hearing this, the subordinates were really surprised, and quickly took out the ropes they carried with them, connected them together, and put down the cliff.
"You guys, tie the rope to that boulder, and you must tie it tightly to me! The rest of the people, immediately transfer the wounded and villagers! ”
As soon as Zhu Qing gave the order, the Jinyi guards took action one after another, and after a while, a life rope was lowered from the mouth of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff. Villagers and the wounded were also moved down the hill one after another.
While Jinyiwei was busy moving the villagers, the Dutch really attacked.
Just when Jinyiwei wanted to take away the remains of those sacrificed brothers, the Dutch killed them to the last level.
"General. The hairy man is here, what should I do? ”
Zhu Qing looked at the brocade-clothed guards lying on the ground, endured his grief and tears, and shouted angrily, "Bring the torch!" ”
After his subordinates took the torches, Zhu Qing gave a deep military salute to the brothers who died in battle, and then cried, "The people's heroes are immortal!" As he spoke, he took a jar of wine from the altar of the secret offering and threw it at the corpse of the soldier lying on the ground.
Before the jar hit the ground, he quickly shot at the jar.
With a "bang", the wine jar cracked, and the liquor was thrown, Zhu Qing grabbed the torches in his left and right hands and threw them at the remains of the soldiers who were splashed with the spirits.
With a muffled "boom", the fire suddenly burst into flames, spreading rapidly with the help of alcohol, cloth and fat, and immediately filled the entire secret passage hall.
"Bring the wine!" Zhu Qing looked at the corpses of the soldiers who were burned in the raging fire, shouted angrily, and took another jar of wine left and right.
Zhu Qing took the wine jar and sprinkled it in front of him, and this sprinkling was most of the jar.
After that, Zhu Qing picked up the wine jar and shouted, "Brothers, let's go!" In the next life, we will break into the world together! As he spoke, Zhu Qing picked up the wine jar and poured a few large sips until he choked on his grief, and then transferred the wine jar to the other brocade guards. The other brothers willingly picked up the jar of wine, and drank it again with the brothers who had been born and died together!
"Bang" Suddenly there was a crisp gunshot, and a cannonball shot through the raging fire on the wine jar, and the wine jar burst instantly!
"General, the foreign hairy son has come in!" The brother holding the broken jar exclaimed.
"Humph! Get my gun! Withdraw first! Through the raging fire, Zhu Qing saw the aggressor jumping up and down on the opposite side, wanting to rush but not daring to rush. He took the "Qinglong sniper rifle" one by one, and after shooting more than a dozen Dutch soldiers across the fire, the guns became hot.
"General! Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! The remaining few brocade guards saw that Zhu Qing had completely angered the Dutch on the opposite side, and the enemy had already rushed through the fire in anger and killed him.
Zhu Qing also wanted to reload and shoot, but he didn't want the gun to really malfunction. He could only reluctantly put away the firearm and retreated to the edge of the cliff unwillingly.
"General, the brothers have all withdrawn, it's really too late if we don't leave!" Seeing that an enemy had rushed out of the fire and chased after him, the two of them persuaded him.
"You guys get out of here!" Zhu Qing snorted.
"If the general doesn't go, we won't go either!" The two looked at each other left and right, and said in unison.
"Let's go! That's an order! Zhu Qing suddenly shouted angrily, the enemy was approaching, there was only one rope, and Zhu Qing had to continue to fight to protect the two or so who could escape smoothly.
Although the two or so knew what Zhu Qing meant, in Qinglongmen, disobedience meant betrayal! They couldn't be traitors, so they had to hold back their tears and grab the rope and slide down the cliff one after another.
The people at the bottom of the cliff all raised their heads one after another, anxiously observing the situation above, especially when they heard the dense gunfire and Zhu Qing had not yet come down, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and all the brocade guards regretted it, even if they disobeyed the order, they should accompany the general to fight to the end!
"Boom!" There was another loud bang, and a cloud of black smoke came out of the exit, and obviously, in order to deal with Zhu Qing, the Dutch even pulled the cannon closer to the secret passage.
"No! I'm going up to save the general! Looking at the battle at the entrance of the cave, a brocade guard said sadly.
But before he could climb the rope, he saw a figure leap out of the cliff, grasping the rope in one hand and a fire gun in the other, swinging down and shooting upward.
The Dutch had chased to the mouth of the cliff, a Dutch soldier was about to cut the rope with a knife, but was stopped by an officer, the Dutch officer waved his hand, and several Dutch soldiers climbed down the rope, obviously, the resistance of the Jinyi Guard has caused them heavy losses, they want to kill them all!
Just as one Dutch soldier after another was climbing down, Zhu Qing was less than ten meters above the ground.
"If the Dutch are let down, the villagers and the wounded will definitely not be able to leave!" Thinking like this, Zhu Qing threw the fire gun in his hand into the sea, and suddenly pulled out the full moon scimitar, just when the Dutch were getting closer and closer, Zhu Qing threw out the full moon scimitar with one hand, and the scimitar went against the trend, rotating rapidly, and suddenly "clicked", cutting off the rope above, and the person on the rope suddenly fell off the cliff.
Although Zhu Qing is at the bottom, he is still five meters high, such a height, in this sudden situation, he suddenly loses his grip and center of gravity, and he falls down and is either dead or injured!
"General!"
"Big brother!"
With a scream, on the other side of the cliff, some people fell into the sea, and some people directly hit the cliff wall, shattered their bones.
Just when everyone was frightened, a small head suddenly surfaced on the surface and made a shaking motion.
Left and right shouted in surprise, "General, it's a general!" The people at the bottom of the cliff immediately cheered.
Zhu Qing swam towards the group of people waiting for him.
