Maybe it was Lu Dayou's prayer that played a role, a mine was sucked into the big hole by the turbulent water in the fluttering waves, and suddenly, there was a muffled bang, and the entire capital of the ship was blown apart, and then, a brighter fire rose, and the more than ten tons of cannon bombs were lifted into the air, obviously, this mine detonated the ammunition depot, which was the real disaster of the Hermes!

"Boom! Bang! "The explosions were continuous, and the light of the fire lit up the night sky, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a mine explosion or the ammunition that had been ignited, but everyone knew that the Hermes was finished, and it would never return to England!

The British soldiers and sailors on the ship jumped into the water to escape, but often the body was only in the air, and it was swept away by the explosion waves, especially the debris that shot from the sky was the most deadly, and more people didn't even have a chance to dive, so they were directly beaten into a sieve, and only a few lucky ones fell into the river, screaming loudly in despair!

The waves produced by the violent explosion obviously affected Wang Feng and the others two hundred meters away, and the waves that were a few feet high rushed one after another, "cough~~" Hong Xuanjiao choked on the water, hugged Wang Feng and shook her head violently, and even after shaking her chest violently, she shouted: "Wang Feng, do you want to kill those ghosts in the diving?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Feng surprisingly didn't answer, Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but look down, and suddenly her pretty face turned red, it turned out that this person's face was caught in his own ditch and ditch!

"You're shameless!" Hong Xuan pushed Wang Feng away violently!

Wang Feng was even wronged in his heart, but at this time, he could only pretend to be innocent and shook his head: "God can't save the Hermes, our mission has been completed, there is no need to make more trouble, brothers, go home!" ”

"Okay!" With full of excitement and unconcealable joy, everyone fluttered up the waves and struggled to swim back, and soon returned to the boat, Sheng Xuanhuai still clenched his fists with both hands, his lips muttered in a daze, Wang Feng patted him: "Sheng Xuanhuai, you are not stupid, right?" ”

"Wang Feng, it's spectacular! It's like setting off fireworks! No! No amount of fireworks can compare to the explosion of the Hermes! Sheng Xuanhuai grabbed Wang Feng's arm and shouted: "There must be at least two or three hundred people on this ship, and Yingyi has never suffered such a big loss in China since the Qingying War more than ten years ago!" ”

Lu Dayou also stood up and laughed: "Foreign devils, how does Grandpa Lu's mine taste?" Hahahaha~~"

Wang Feng pulled Lu Dayou to sit down and poured cold water on his head: "The loss of a Hermes is nothing to Britain, such a warship, he will start work with all his might, and it is not a problem to build dozens of ships a year, and Britain is the number one power in the world, and it will not be able to lose face if it does not find the field, so don't be happy too early, let's hurry back to the city and wait for the British to retaliate!" As he spoke, he gestured and gestured to stroke back.

The two boats faded into the darkness, while the explosions behind them were still intermittent, the hull of the ship was broken into several pieces, and the raging fire lit up the entire night sky!

In the British Consulate in the Shanghai Concession, due to the unsmooth battle during the day, and the Taiping Army's possession of Minnie guns, Wen Xian couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, and his mind was full of calculations about how to deal with Wang Feng.

"Boom, boom~~" A thunderous voice came from the north continuously, 'Is it going to rain?' Bonham puffed his pipe and got up to push open the window.

The sound of muffled thunder is clearer, but the stars in the sky are half like rain? On the contrary, the sky is red!

Wen Xian's eyes narrowed, staring straight at the red, and there was a boom, this explosion was like a thunderclap across his heart, Wen Xian's face changed drastically in an instant, he suddenly realized that this was not thunder, but an explosion, an explosion from the north, wasn't it on the Yangtze River? And the Hermes is moored in the river!

"Not good!" A strong uneasiness welled up in his heart, and Wen Xian stepped on the floor and rushed straight out!

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Because Wen Xian said that he would marry her, Alice's heart was like pressing a stone, and she couldn't fall asleep over and over, and Wang Feng's face appeared in front of her eyes from time to time.

Alice was born in Mumbai, lived in India for more time than in the United Kingdom, and lived in Singapore and Hong Kong for a while, there is no natural prejudice against Orientals, as a sixteen-year-old Western girl, it is the age of enthusiasm and unrestrained, full of ignorance and curiosity about the opposite sex, Wang Feng's heroism makes her feel good, and it is only one step away from feeling loved, and it is difficult for Alice to rationally define the difference.

Although she warned herself over and over again that this was impossible, Wang Feng's uniqueness left a deep impression on her, especially the people who fought in the daytime, and the appearance of righteousness and stern words made her heart throb.

Contradictions, entanglements, feelings, reason, she feels like she's going crazy!

At this time, Wen Xian made a huge movement that made her catch her breath, and she quickly put on a dress and ran out.

"Something's wrong!" Wen Xian answered with a calm face, and hurried downstairs.

In the hall, Ah Liguo was fidgeting, and when he saw Uncle Wen Xian's nephew, he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wen Xian, did you hear it too?" ”

Wen Xian nodded and said, "I hope it's not the Hermes, but if it really happens, it's useless to be anxious, just sit down first, there should be news before dawn." ”

Ali Guo sat back in the chair, the two men smoked cigarettes one after another, the room was full of the choking smell of tobacco, and the atmosphere seemed even heavier.

Time passed in a long wait, in the county town of Shanghai, Liu Lichuan also couldn't sleep all night, sitting in the county hall in a daze, from the news that secretly sent people back from the Huangpu River during the day, he learned that the Qing army attacked Baoshan and suffered a big loss, and the city wall of Baoshan was also destroyed by the British gunboats, and the casualties of the Taiping army were unknown.

On the one hand, he desperately hoped that the Taiping army would do everything possible to relieve his siege, he only had a few days of food, and he collected food from the people, the opposition in the army was too great, he had to weigh the consequences, as for the breakthrough, in the face of the guns of the Qing army, the huge price was also unbearable for him, on the other hand, he was worried that the power would be taken away by the Taiping army, and he would be nothing in the end, after all, he was only the leader of the alliance, not the king of Shanghai!

"Hong Xiuquan can be Li Zicheng, why can't I, Liu Lichuan, be Zhang Xianzhong?" Liu Lichuan only felt that there was an injustice in his heart that was gradually becoming depressed, and he couldn't help but slam his fist on the table!

"Marshal! Marshal! At this moment, Lin Afu ran in panting: "It turns out that you haven't slept yet, there seems to be movement on the river in the north of the city, and the brothers have gone up to the city, do you want to go and see it too?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Lichuan frowned, and said, "It's okay, let's go!" With that, he stood up sharply and walked away quickly.
