The captain of the guard, who was in charge of the land defense, sent someone to report that they had nearly 100 casualties, and that they would hold out for another quarter of an hour at most, and they would completely retreat to the other courtyard.

Cheng Ziyu nodded. She knew very well that although the main force of more than 2,000 people of the armor guards was concentrated on sneak attacks and traps on the land route, compared to the smoothness of the water route, the real fights on the land route were obviously too difficult and dangerous.

It is the best effort for the guards to hold on to this moment.

"Keep the word, it's important to save your strength and your life! Let's retrace slowly in batches! "She's already made a plan with the Chief of the Guard." Let He Yong be responsible, take the escort team of 1,000 people to help make the final preparations, and then leave this place alone, let all the 1,000 people retreat to the He family in the dark! You will block all the passages between the two houses! Try not to ask Zhu Changjue's people to target the He family's courtyard. ”

"Yes!"

"Waterway, let's get ready for the third part!" Cheng Ziyu watched Zhu Changan rush into the wall of fire with his own eyes. She had long expected that the fire wall would not be able to stop the menacing Zhu Changjue.

He's bound to have a more aggressive way to advance.

Therefore, she must also have more fierce means to block it.

The first raft had long since been cut apart. The second bamboo raft burned almost to the ground. The biggest threat to the enemy is the third and fourth bamboo rafts, which are burning brightly at the moment.

The total width of the two rafts reached more than one zhang.

For the tin boat with a long knife and a long spike wheel in the bow, it was only a matter of time before the raft was rammed or cut.

Cheng Ziyu commanded everyone to put the fifth bamboo raft down into the water and then stopped.

It's not that there is no raft, but the bamboo raft at the front has not yet burned out, and it is still swinging horizontally on the water, and if you continue to push down the bamboo raft, it is too close to your own convenience. Not only is it easy to set yourself on fire, but it is easy to become a tool for the other party to easily land.

Her requirement was that in a short period of time, the other party must never be able to break through the deep water. This is the only way to inflict maximum damage on the enemy and protect yourself to the greatest extent.

She didn't know how long it would take Zhu Changan to break the last three bamboo rafts, she could only hope that this time would be longer.

Cheng Ziyu stared at the smoky wall of fire without blinking.

After holding on for a hundred breaths, the three rafts were cut open one by one by the iron boat.

The iron ship pierced through the wall of fire......

The other party burst into a loud shout.

Either to prevent a sneak attack, or to strengthen his momentum, Zhu Chang'an was wearing heavy protective armor, and rushed out of the cabin as soon as possible, waving a big knife, laughing.

If you ignore his hideous face reflected by the fire behind him, with this generous momentum, with this brave arrogance, and with the great encouragement to Zhu Changjue behind him, he really looks like a hero.

The morale of the other party that was suppressed suddenly rose.

Dozens of pointed-nosed boats followed Zhu Chang'an's iron-clad boat closely.

The flotilla that had withdrawn fifty or sixty feet drove again......

The wall of fire was split in two, and the threat was drastically reduced.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Chang'an's iron boat and Cheng Ziyu were only about twenty zhang left, and the fleet was also smoothly passing through the open wall of fire.

"Cheng Ziyu, suffer death!" Zhu Changan smiled and waved his long knife on the deck: "Brothers, go ashore with this king and kill a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Zhu Changan waved down with a knife, "Step forward at full speed!" ”

At the same time, Cheng Ziyu and Jia San looked at each other again, and both nodded at the same time.

It's just that......

Whether it was Zhu Changan or Zhu Changjue, they didn't expect the next moment, but the earth shook the mountains......

At that moment, they almost thought it was a tsunami - but this was a lake, not a sea! Is it ground moving? There was a ground movement in Taihu Lake? It can't be so coincidental!

Or has the official's artillery arrived?

Accompanied by a huge vibration, it was a blast, it was a fire, it was heat!

The sky was full of unidentified objects.

Obviously, it was thrown from a high place by the other party.

They couldn't see what it was, they only knew that it was so large and powerful that they couldn't bear it!

When the rain fell, it shattered into the hull or deck of their ship, and even if it touched even the slightest spark, it brought with it a sudden burst of a wave of fire that instantly exploded into a huge, powerful enough to tear them apart! No, to be exact, an explosion!

The deafening sound of explosions came and went.

How many people were blown up, blown up, killed, injured, how many people were thrown off the boat, and how many ships were directly blown up and damaged...... Moreover, the explosion was followed by a large fire, which in the blink of an eye began to spread in the hulls of several ships.

At this moment, the entire lake is like an asura field.

Screaming and crying......

Struggle, fluttering, wailing......

The wall of fire that had been broken down before was further constituted by the fire of these dozen or so ships rushing to the front......

Zhu Changjue roared and shouted to stop.

He knew that he was still fooled. That Cheng Ziyu, maybe what he was waiting for from the beginning, was the current blow.

Unfortunately, the explosion ahead was too unexpected. So even if Zhu Changjue reacted quickly and shouted to stop, the two big ships in front of him were still caught off guard and penetrated into the fire......

As a result, they received the same treatment as the dozen or so ships ahead, withstanding those explosions that fell from the sky! And those guards who couldn't dodge ended no better than the ships in front, some were killed, some were wounded, and some fell overboard......

And this place was measured by Cheng Ziyu in the morning, the water depth is more than one zhang, as long as it falls into the water, there is no accident, it is still a dead end.

Zhu Changjue's eyes were red with anger, the boat he was on was the largest, most stable, and the most bulky, just at the same speed, he wanted to stop suddenly at this moment, and there was no good way, so he could only adjust the direction and forcibly crash into the ship in front......

Although Zhu Changjue was protected, he did not stand firm and sat on the deck. There is no good way to do it except grind your teeth.

As for Zhu Changan, he was too unlucky.

When the unidentified objects fell from the sky, it was when he was shouting and jumping on the deck.

At that time, Cheng Ziyu shouted "Zhu Changan" at him.

When he looked up and followed the sound, something shattered on him...... He smelled a lot of gunpowder, and then he was blown away by the explosion......

At that moment, he had a thousand thoughts in his heart, and he had a lot of feelings.

He saw himself being tossed high and falling into the lake. This reminded him of the scene in his previous life when he saw his head and body separated. What a similar scene...... and a terrifying atmosphere!

But after thinking about it, he began to congratulate himself on wearing thick armor. So he knew that he wasn't going to die yet.

But in the next moment, he thought that after such a heavy armor fell into the water, could he still swim with only one hand left? Although this thick armor is protection, how can it not be a burden to him? Will he be drowned alive?

This thought was not over yet, he heard Cheng Ziyu say what "gift", "past life", "thunderbolt", "don't you want it in your heart?" I am giving it to you in this way today, and you must cherish it! Had a great experience ......."

What the?

He couldn't stop a mouthful of blood from gushing out of his throat.

Only then did he know that all that he had just endured was a thunderbolt from what he had been asking for in his previous life and this life.

He then remembered that at the last moment of her previous life, she had said that she had already completed the design, but she had deliberately kept it a secret......

In this life, the thunderbolt has never been raised, nor has it been put on the table. After the southern tour, he was very busy, and she was also very busy, but he and Zhu Changjue's people had been staring at Cheng Ziyu, and she didn't have the time and opportunity to develop this thing at all.

Where did all this stuff come from?

When was it done?

Did she keep going down with the southern tour?

Ridiculous, how ridiculous! What he wanted so much, was returned to him in this way?

Zhu Changan couldn't help it, and another mouthful of blood was choked out.

She left him, and she lived like a fish in water, and she could catch everything, why?

He left her, but it was so difficult, but he clearly put in all kinds of efforts all the time, why? You must know that several times, even if it is a bitter plan, that is, risking his life to insert a knife, he has done it many times...... But he is so motivated, but is it just such a reward?

He's not reconciled!

He snorted the blood in his mouth, bit the tip of his tongue, and a fierce man sank into the water and went to the darkness......

Cheng Ziyu watched Zhu Changan disappear underwater like this, but he also understood what he was going to do next......

At this moment, what Jia San commanded the guards to throw was a low-profile version of the thunderbolt.

This item is most suitable for naval and night battles, and the principle is very simple, that is, the use of long-distance throwing, combined with fire to cause an explosion effect.

When they stopped at Liaocheng to exchange goods in the south, Cheng Ziyu thought that the road ahead was long and there were many crises, could they increase their bargaining chips? Especially after taking the Queen Mother and finding Zhu Changzhe...... They are relatively defensive, do they need more weapons for self-protection and counter-attack?

So Liaocheng Wharf, full of backlogged Zibo pottery goods, she walked around and around.

In her previous life, her design for the thunderbolt was a double-layered clay vase, and she naturally couldn't find the exact same. But she found a small-caliber, thick-bottomed, thin-bodied clay vase that she might be able to try.

The recipe for thunderbolts is not difficult, and the most important thing is gunpowder.

Therefore, after finding He Yong and getting gunpowder and other materials, the dead man took the ratio and did an experiment.

But I've tried many times, but it's not powerful enough.

Cheng Ziyu suggested sealing and heating before throwing.

I tried it, and it worked extraordinarily.

Pottery is fired at high temperature, and it is not afraid of fire at all. However, the gunpowder is unstable when heated, and it begins to expand as soon as the pressure changes. Just like popping brown rice, when it is heated to a certain temperature and time, there is more energy stored inside, and it has the tendency to burst.

However, the closed opening and thickened base of the clay bottle make the heat nowhere to dissipate. When the clay bottle is thrown and the bottle body is shattered, the heat that is about to move is ready to come out, and with the fire, the effect of "instant splendor" can be seen......

After discovering that heating could make this originally less powerful thunderbolt more effective with half the effort, they chose this method without hesitation.

Due to the weight and distance of the throw, they found that even with the advantage of the tailwind, they could only reach a distance of 20 zhang at most.

So they didn't make a move, and only waited for the other party to get closer to within twenty zhang before they started to act.

And if you want to exert power, you must need fire. That's why all their schemes revolve around a "wall of fire". So what they did just now was basically carried out when the other party crossed the wall of fire.

As for Zhu Changan, he deserves it.

After passing through the wall of fire, he couldn't wait to come out and shout.

The two guards who followed him closely behind him raised a torch to his left and right......

So, the thunderbolt just hit him. As soon as he retreated, the hands of the two people behind him shook, not only sparks, but also the torches fell directly to the ground...... Then more than a dozen thunderbolts were aimed at the torches on the ground......

What are the consequences, it was luck that he was not killed directly, and it was inevitable that he would be blown off.

In just a few dozen breaths, there are already seven or eight boats burning on the lake.

Cheng Ziyu and the others successfully frightened Zhu Changjue and his people......

Jia San was still shouting and warning, saying that Shi Ping should know that they had a total of 10,000 sets and a total of 50,000 thunderbolts. Only a thousand pieces were used in this round.

"If you still want to be obsessed and unrepentant, then today's Taihu Lake is the burial place of all of you!"

Zhu Changjue was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

His people had already begun to study the explosives.

He also had a plan in his heart. He was faced with a choice again.

The situation is not unbreakable at the moment.

As long as......

He immediately understood that Cheng Ziyu still had a back hand.

So he just needs to do a little!

As long as the fire is extinguished, the fire is extinguished, as long as it does not get on fire, it doesn't matter what gunpowder or bullet he has, it is just a pile of fly ash.

"Give the order to go down and quickly extinguish the fire on the wall of fire ahead and on the ship. After that, I rushed over at full speed in the dark......"

"Your Majesty! King An didn't die, he got up again! A waiter pointed forward......

Zhu Changjue said halfway, and his eyes were also attracted by Zhu Changan.

I saw that the guy had such perseverance, and was grabbing the reins and crawling on his iron boat.

The tin boat can be protected against arrows, but it can't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment just now.

In many places on the ship, the iron sheet fell off and one side caught fire. But Zhu Changan pulled the reins tightly, relying on the bite of one hand and teeth, and slowly climbed up to the place where the boat was not burned.

After following Bai Heng, his physical fitness and mental perseverance have improved by leaps and bounds, and after dozens of breaths, he really climbed onto the boat......

"Rush! Rush to this king! "Zhu Chang'an is like a wild beast that has only gone mad, and after getting on the boat, he slashed his knife and entered the iron cabin, forcing the guards hiding in the cabin to start the boat again and speed up the rowing." Whoever doesn't rush will chop him up at this moment! ”

He's going to rush out! He's going to crash into it! As long as we collide with that fan-shaped fleet, won't all the crises be solved?

He also understood.

The reason why Cheng Ziyu has not lit the torch and has no light is because he is afraid of being attacked by exposing his whereabouts, and secondly, he is afraid of being affected by a thunderbolt. At this moment, half of his ship was already on fire, and as long as he rushed to the opponent's fleet, he did not believe that the other party would not be afraid of being affected, not afraid of dying together, and would dare to throw thunderbolts.

In this way, the dilemma is gone! As long as you can take revenge, as long as you can kill the other party, let him be the vanguard!

"Come on! Cheng Ziyu! If you have the ability, you can blow it up again! Hahaha! "Zhu Chang'an's crazy voice is a bit maverick and crazy in this night.

Fifteen zhang ...... Another round of thunderbolts.

Ten zhang, five zhang......

Cheng Ziyu and the others really didn't dare to throw at him again......

On the other side of the wall of fire, the chamberlain pointed at Zhu Changan with a look of surprise.

"Ann, King Ann, he, he...... He stood out! King Ann is doing well! Ouch-"

But the waiter was kicked over by Zhu Changjue.

"Idiot! It's all stupid! Zhu Changan! You come back to Lao Tzu! Zhu Changjue roared. You brainless dog! Come! Shoot for Lao Tzu! Killed Zhu Changan to Lao Tzu! ”
