It is said that it is an iron door, but in fact it is iron on the outside, but the side facing the cellar is made of wood. Now half-collapsed at the entrance of the cellar, Zhu Yuan went up and kicked the door down. Zhu Yuan walked down the cellar first with two short muskets in his hands, that is, the Jinghai musket in the water and land camp. The soldiers behind him followed.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the cellar, and when I walked down, I found that except for the eight people who had been shocked to death or fainted at the door, the other thieves were nowhere to be found. With the kerosene lamp in the hands of the soldiers behind him, Zhu Yuan and the others strode forward.

After entering about ten meters, the road to the cellar was forked, two arched small doors on the left and right, about two meters high, about one meter five wide, the wooden door was hidden, Zhu Yuan kicked open the door on the left, and pointed the muzzle inside, but found that there was no one inside, only a few large boxes, and there were some scattered belongings on the ground.

"There's no one on the right." A soldier shouted. Zhu Yuan frowned and stared at the last gate, which were two stone doors, tightly closed. Although he couldn't see the situation inside, Zhu Yuan knew that it must be locked with a stone bar, and it was difficult to open.

Originally, it was proposed to bombard the cellar with a cannon, but such a stone door could not be opened with a few cannons, and the violent shaking might cause the cellar to collapse, and then it would be dangerous. Zhu Houwei and Li Huamei are all down, and they are a little big when they see this situation.

Suddenly, Li Huamei said loudly, "Let's see if the door can be pushed first, revealing a gap." As soon as the words fell, others were still thinking about what this meant, Zhu Houwei and Zhu Yuan already had an understanding.

Under Zhu Yuan's order, several soldiers pushed the stone door inward, and sure enough, the stone gate moved a little inward, revealing a gap about three or five centimeters wide, and at this time, they also saw the stone strip of the locked door behind the stone gate.

There was a little excitement in Zhu Yuan's voice, "Step back first, and then bring the hemp rope over." Zhu Houwei added: "Take a small gantry again." "The gantry is a pulley set, and the ships of the land and water battalion will also carry some various types of gantries to carry materials on and off the ship.

Soon, the hemp rope was taken. The soldiers pushed the door in, revealing the gap, threaded the hemp rope, then went back, took a small bamboo stick with a hook and hooked the end of the rope, and then tied a knot to tie the stone. Then I pulled it up, but the stone bar was very heavy, and I couldn't bear to pull it up, and the stone bar moved up a little bit and got stuck. After about ten minutes, a small gantry was brought in. After assembling, everyone pulled back, and the stone bar was hoisted, and when it was pushed again, the stone door slowly opened.

"It's open, the stone door is open." Several soldiers shouted happily. The crowd behind him also smiled. But soon the smile froze. Because behind the gate is not sealed, but a stone path two people wide, stretching backwards, and I don't know where it leads, this is a secret passage.

As soon as everyone went in and walked not far away, they heard a "boom" of cannons, and they felt that it should be far away. Walking forward quickly, about two hundred meters, the secret passage also came to an end. The same stone staircase with a large gate on top. But from below, it is another iron door. The sound of the cannon has stopped, but the situation above is unknown. Zhu Yuan and Zhu Houwei were both a little anxious, after all, firing the cannon meant that the land and water battalion had encountered the enemy.

Zhu Yuan called seven or eight strong soldiers up the steps, and then pushed the door out. It turned out that there was a huge stone pressed on the gate, which was difficult to push, and from the exposed gap, it was also seen that the gate was locked by iron chains, and several people behind him couldn't help but be a little depressed. This gang of thieves is really capable of doing it, and it has caused many difficulties for the pursuit of the land and water battalion.

Zhu Houwei immediately decided, "I used it to go up, and then sent the explosives bag up." "The entrance was blown up, there was no danger, and now the situation is urgent, so I have to fight. Several soldiers shouted slogans and blushed, and then one of them stuffed the explosive bag through the gap, leaving the lead underneath, and then took a few wooden stakes to hold the gate up.

This time, the lead was longer, and after that, everyone quickly retreated. While running, Zhu Yuan also shouted, "Plug your ears, plug your ears." After about half a minute, there was only a loud "boom", and everyone in the tunnel felt a shock, and several people did not stand still, and fell, but now no one laughed at their embarrassment. Quite a few people shook their heads and gouged their ears. Now there was a buzzing in my head, and I didn't come back to my senses.

After a while, I saw that no one was hurt, only a few had broken knees, so I walked towards the exit. Then I saw that the door had collapsed on the stone steps. Everyone hurriedly walked outside, Zhu Yuan was the first to go up, took a careful look around, immediately ran out a few steps, and then said softly, "Safety." At this time, a few people behind him came out.

At this time, it was discovered that there was a small stone cave outside the exit. Outside the cave is the blue sea. In addition to the entrance of the cave, I found some rough stairs on the left side of the cave, and about ten meters down to the coast. It's not a sandy beach, but rocks of different shapes. I saw some debris not far away, someone should have been here. Zhu Yuan and they took a look and found that this can be said to be a hidden small harbor, the north and east sides are blocked by cliffs, and the west side can see some reefs above the sea.

Zhu Houwei took the telescope and looked at the northwest estuary, and found that a sea ship was heading here, so he shouted, "Hide, the pirate ship is coming." "With the naked eye, there was a small black dot that was slowly moving, and everyone didn't say a word, and went directly to find a place where they could hide.

About half an hour later, the ship had sailed into the bay, and it seemed that it was ready to land. The crowd couldn't help but calm their minds and prepare for battle.

Zhu Houwei felt that his nose was a little itchy, so he touched his nose and sniffed deeply, but he smelled an indescribable smell, not like flowers, nor fruits, but it smelled good. When he turned his head to look, he found that at a distance of more than a meter, a pair of Danfeng eyes were staring at him with firelight. Zhu Houwei smiled awkwardly and turned around.

Zhu Houwei hid in the cracks of several boulders, which was so large that he could hide several people. So Zhu Houwei, Huang Gonggong, Hong Yu and Li Huamei, Yang Xien and the Dongying warrior were avoided here. Hong Yu and Dongying warriors were at the two ends, Huang Gonggong and Yang Xien were in the second, and Zhu Houwei and Li Huamei were in the middle, with a gap of less than one meter between the two. The sea breeze here is not as strong as outside, Zhu Houwei took a deep breath, and then smelled the smell of others. Huang Gonggong has always used incense due to physical reasons, but Zhu Houwei knows that this smell is not his, so it can only be Li Huamei's. Being stared at like this by Li Huamei, Zhu Houwei said that the pressure was great, so he had to turn his head and stare at Huang Gonggong's round body.

Fortunately, after less than a minute, I heard a noise, and it should be that a pirate not far away had come ashore. Because the boulder was in the way, Zhu Houwei couldn't see the situation outside, so he had to prick up his ears and listen carefully.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuan's unique loud voice shouted, "Fire." "Bang bang bang" There was a burst of gunfire, a muffled scream came from the enemy's side, and the battle began.
