Chapter 819: Set fire to the mountain

When Di Meng came back, Zhu Su was greeting the soldiers.

The originally quiet and peaceful Fanren tribe suddenly became noisy and chaotic, and there were shouts and cheers from all directions, even if Zhu Su was not suspicious, he should know that something was wrong at this time.

However, at that time, the night was dark, even if there were torches, and his eyesight was difficult and far, Zhu Su did not know the truth and reality, so he did not dare to act rashly. It wasn't until they received Di Meng's report that everyone was stunned. Chang Mao exclaimed, "This part of the people is not the White Lotus Sect!" Sea King Sea King, aren't these people the people of the Nanyang Chen bandits? ”

"Whose centaur it is, we'll talk about it later!" Zhu Su has already let the left and right erect the Zhou Ziwang flag. "What is known now is that these thieves dare to disadvantage our great soldiers. The thief does not know the height of the sky, what should we do? ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" More than 100 Ming troops shouted to kill the heavens.

"Di Meng, you show the way." Zhu Su blatantly ordered. "Blow the trumpet, inform Jiujiang, and protect the mountain pass...... Let's go down the mountain and find the confluence of the nine rivers! ”

Although Di Meng only brought back a few words, from these words, Zhu Su could already piece together a rough outline.

This gang of thieves not only wanted to set fire, they even had accomplices who wanted to do something to Jiujiang.

This shows that the power of this gang of thieves is much more than I originally expected!

"I was careless, and I just stared at the White Lotus Sect...... didn't expect that Chen Zuyi might have also intervened in Dawan. Also, if he was able to send ships to help Fu Puxin, why couldn't he set up an ambush in this great bay. ”

"When I was ambushed in Potbelly Creek before, I noticed the faces of those ambushers. Those people have deep black faces, how can they look like East Asian races? Now that I think about it, it's clear that I'm from Nanyang...... I didn't realize it! Zhu Su thought with annoyance. If the enemy is not only those White Lotus Sect bandits, then it would be a bit overbearing to carry thousands of Ming troops into the mountain lightly. What's more, there are only 100 people around me now!

The enemy is dark and I am clear, how unfavorable the situation is!

"Brothers, set fire! Burn these bright dogs! The other party obviously also found out that Da Ming's side was on guard, and a voice shouted loudly.

Those people originally wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's sleep, and secretly placed the fire-burning things such as hay, firewood, and wood around the Ming army, and when the fire started, there were fires on all sides, unless the Ming army was a bird with wings, it was definitely impossible to escape. But now the Ming army was wary in advance, and those things that ignited the fire had not yet been arranged, so they could only light the fire first.

This fire helped the Ming army, because the night was dark now, and the eyesight was not good, but this fire, the fire was not very big, but it illuminated the surroundings. More than 100 Ming troops spotted the enemy's location, and under the command of Zhu Su, they set up a mandarin duck formation, like a tiger, and killed these thieves who pretended to be fans.

"Idiot! Idiot! What are you waiting for? Splash oil! Someone shouted.

The climate in the Great Bay is so humid that even the air seems to be able to grab a handful of water. Originally, even if it was arson and wanted to become a prairie fire, it would not be possible for a while. But with the shouting of the leaders of the thieves, someone pushed a jar of unknown liquid out of it. A thief threw the jar into the fire, and suddenly there was a "boom", and the flames that were still in the dark suddenly jumped several feet high, and Chang Mao, who wanted to rush out directly with the people and horses, was startled.

Looking at the fire that suddenly spread in front of him, and the smug bandits pushing the altar in the firelight, Zhu Su instantly understood what those things were. "Kerose!" Zhu Su's soul is in danger.

"Hahahaha, Ming dogs, aren't your firearms very tight? You have firearms, and grandpa has fierce fire oil...... Today, grandpa wants you to be buried here with this fierce fire oil! In the firelight, the cries of thieves were heard.

Chang Mao had already heard this voice was the seemingly honest "patriarch", gritted his teeth in anger, picked up the leather bag around his waist and poured the water in the leather bag on his body, and was about to rush out of the sea of fire with his head lowered, but his wrist was tightened but was stopped by Zhu Su, Chang Mao said angrily: "Your Highness, why don't you let me twist his old thief bird's head!" ”

"Brother Chang, don't be impulsive! This fire is no ordinary flame, and it is useless to pour water on the armor. Zhu Su's face was solemn, the fire oil used by these people was obviously similar to "oil" and the like, the flame temperature of oil burning was much higher than that of firewood and grass, pouring water on the armor might be able to break into a fire ignited by firewood, but if it was forced to break into this kind of fire burned with oil, even if it could break out of the sea of fire, people would become coke.

This group of thieves actually used such a terrible thing as a weapon......

Zhu Su didn't know that the advent of this thing actually had his share of credit. Since Chen Zuyi witnessed the power of the Daming gunboats, he was unpleasant to eat, worried day and night, and felt that his life at sea was really precarious. It is urgent to get cannons, but how to deal with the Ming warships is also the most important thing.

Otherwise, once the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty sails into the Three Buddhas, but there is no way to resist it, wouldn't it be just a way to catch it? As a bandit in the South Seas, he categorically could not accept putting his life and death in the hands of others.

On the one hand, he was looking for a way, trying to get Daming's artillery, and on the other hand, he was thinking about it, trying to find how many ways to fight against the Daming treasure ship. Srivijaya is located in the Malacca region, a hub where all ethnic cultures from all walks of life converge, and in the end, Tan Cho Yi was inspired by a story from the west.

It was a war that took place in the far west hundreds of years ago, and in order to resist the attack of the powerful Celestial Cultists (Arabs) at that time, the Great Qin State (Byzantine Empire) in the west invented a fire-breathing ship that could resist the sailor troops of the Celestial Sect.

The fire-breathing boat gave Chen Zuyi a great inspiration: yes! No matter how tall and mighty the treasure ship is, its hull and hull are always made of wood. If you can spew flames and make the treasure ship burn, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with the ship?

It was Chen Zuyi who offered a reward for skilled craftsmen to make a fire-breathing boat, but there was really a color-eyed craftsman who understood the key to the fire-breathing boat, and he told Chen Zuyi that the mystery of the fire-breathing boat was not elsewhere, the key was the fire oil.

A fierce fire oil that can ignite a fire even at sea!

Regardless of whether this man understands the flamethrowers of the Byzantine Empire, this person must be clear about the characteristics of oil. Srivijaya is located on the Maritime Silk Road, which is the place where the world's goods are distributed, and Chen Zuyi has a heavy reward, and it is certainly not difficult to get oil. So after putting it bluntly, the fire-breathing boat, which did not have much technical difficulty, was built by Chen Zuyi.
