Chapter 205: The Medicine Storehouse
Seeing that Hu Ba hadn't come back for so long, an officer with a toothpick in his mouth stretched out his hand to pull the loose silver on the table in front of him, and said with a smile: "How can Lao Hu pee for so long in this pee, ask someone to go out and have a look, don't fall somewhere." ”
Another officer with a mole on his eyebrows heard this, and grinned: "I'm afraid that if I didn't fall somewhere, I can't say that I lost in a hurry, so I really went to the camp to find my sister, and I want to fight poison with poison." ”
These words immediately burst into laughter in the account, and someone quipped: "I think Hu Ba is afraid that he will lose everything, so which brother will go to borrow the capital." ”
The officer with the toothpick smiled, ignored the crowd, turned his head and pouted at the soldier who was waiting on the side, and motioned for him to take a look outside.
Although the soldier was a little reluctant, he still took his eyes off the pile of broken silver, secretly scolded the officer for really fucking slamming the door, and then reluctantly squeezed out of the crowd.
There were hookah smokers in the house, and the smoke mixed with the smell of everyone's sweat was really smoking. After the soldier lifted the curtain, his nose suddenly smelled fresh air, and his head was sober, but when he sniffed it again, the smell was wrong: how could there be a smoky smell?
When he raised his eyes, he opened his mouth wide in fright, and shouted loudly towards several camps that were burning in the distance: "Go water, go water!" ”
"Gone out of the water?!"
The Qing soldiers who were gambling happily in the house heard the shouts outside, and they were all stunned for a moment, and then they were so frightened that they stopped gambling, and rushed out in a panic. The scrambling table was also knocked to the ground, and the broken silver and copper plates that had not had time to be taken fell to the ground.
"Damn, they're all in a hurry to be reincarnated!"
The officer with the toothpick had just touched the card again, but before he could open the card, the man ran out in a swarm, so angry that he screamed bad luck, and while scolding, he pushed and squeezed out of the tent. By the time he came out, the fire had already risen, and the fire had spread to the whole camp by the wind from a few of its original fire points. The sky over the entire sailor's camp was red.
All the Qing soldiers were frightened by the fire, and the officer holding the toothpick was also so frightened that he spit out the toothpick, staring at the camp in a daze
"It's water, it's water!"
"Fight the fire. Fight the fire! ”
“”
The sudden fire in the middle of the night woke many of the Qing soldiers who were still asleep from their dreams, and they hurried out of their tents without even having time to put on their clothes and shoes. What can be extinguished by manpower, you can only shout and scream everywhere like a bunch of headless flies, looking for a safe place to hide.
Liang Biaoxiang's Guangdong Navy Division was originally surrendered by the pirate Red Flag Navy Division that had accumulated years abroad, and although Liang Biaoxiang had been rectified several times, the camp still had serious habits of bandits, and in addition to several successive defeats, the military discipline of the Navy Division was even more corrupt. This will not only be the Qing soldiers screaming, but also many women in the camp they brought with them screaming, and there are some people and traders who are scurrying along with the crowd.
The fire destroyed not only the tents, but also many other messy objects. After an area with firewood piled up was led by the fire, there was immediately thick smoke, and the Qing soldiers in that area ran upwind without looking back.
"Fuck, the fire is too big to be saved, get on board, everyone! Can't let the ship burn, quick, quick! ”
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and it was no longer possible to extinguish it by manpower, and the camp was in chaos. No one organized to extinguish the fire, and the officer with the toothpick no longer hesitated, and immediately decided that everyone should leave here and go to the dock to board the ship. The fundamentals of the sailors are boats and people, and the camp on the shore is not important at all. If it's gone, it's gone, and it can be rebuilt at any time in the future, but if the ship is gone, then the sailor is really gone. For most of the officers of the Guangdong Navy Division, who were born as pirates, ships are the capital they rely on for survival, so this officer with a toothpick said. The others agreed, and in a panic, they rushed to the dock to board the boat, and then drove the boat to the river away from the pier.
As soon as a few people pulled out their legs, a Qing soldier tripped and fell to the ground with an "oops", and when he touched his hand, he screamed again: "Hu Zong, it's Hu Zong!" ”
"Hu Ba?" An officer stopped, "What's wrong with Hu Ba?" ”
The Qing soldier who tripped over Hu Ba's corpse trembled and shouted: "Hu is dead!" ”
"What!"
This time, the officer holding the toothpick also stopped, turned his head to look at the Qing soldier who made a sound, and sure enough, there was a corpse on the ground, vaguely like Hu Ba. He was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to turn over Hu Ba's corpse, and saw that Hu Ba had a dagger in his chest, this person had already died coldly!
"it. It's forced, it's not the water, it's someone who touched it! The officer with the toothpick let go of Hu Ba's body, got up and said something to the rest of the people, and then ordered a few Qing soldiers around him: "You go with me to find Lord Zongzhen, and the rest of the people go to the dock with President Chen, quickly!" Don't let a thief get on board! ”
"Wow!"
The most feared thing in the chaos is that there is no backbone, and now the officer holding the toothpick is decisive, and immediately became the backbone of this group of Qing soldiers, and the other two officers and the officer holding the toothpick have been brothers for many years, knowing what he meant, he didn't say much and took the others to the dock without saying much.
"The thieves came in at night and set fire, the number must not be large, brothers, don't be afraid, follow me to protect the lord of the town, and then kill the thieves who come in!"
The officer with the toothpick waved his hand and ran to the camp of the chief soldier Liang Biaoxiang with the Qing soldiers left behind, but after running more than a dozen steps, there were two explosions on the other side of the dock.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
The explosion that sounded in the middle of the night was particularly ear-piercing and shocking, which frightened all the Qing soldiers in their hearts, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the dock, only to see that several warships docked on the dock had already burst into flames. Several of the ships that had exploded were already in shambles, their poles and rudders flew to the ground, and the Qing soldiers on them were either killed or jumped into the water crying wolf.
"The thieves burned the ship's medicine storehouse!"
When a Qing soldier saw an explosion at the dock, he thought that the warehouse where the gunpowder was stored had been blown up by thieves, and his face was so shocked that he was colorless.
The officer holding the toothpick slapped him back and scolded: "Fuck, it's really the medicine warehouse has been blown up, and your fucking ears are deaf!" Leave it alone, come with me! ”
Although the sailor division has been defeated several times, there are not many artillery on the ships that can be called "war ships", but the gunpowder stored by the sailors is very much, these gunpowder are all scavenged from all over Guangdong by the king of Pingnan, only this time the fish market saliva division brought tens of thousands of catties, and the previous battle with the Ming army sailors did not hit a few cannons, the stock in the warehouse is very sufficient, it is really going to be blown up by thieves, it is not a simple matter of only blowing up a few ships, but most of the dock is going to be blown up!
With so much gunpowder stored together, no matter how unbearable the water division is, no matter how nonsense he is, he is also very strict with the medicine warehouse, and the warehouse is guarded by the pro-army team of Liang Biaoxiang in the general town, and those people are all characters who have eaten knife food at sea for more than ten years, and they will never let the thieves touch it easily. Now it seems that the medicine depot is still very safe, thinking of this, the officer with the toothpick no longer delayed, and led people to hurry to find Liang Biaoxiang, the head of the town. There are definitely not many thieves coming, as long as the adults of the town are rescued from the fire area, the brothers are commanded, can a few thieves really turn the sailor upside down!
