Chapter 820: Escape from the Fire
Chen Zuyi put fierce fire oil on all ships, and sprayed it with a fire-fighting hose when he was about to fight, and ordinary warships could be used as fire-breathing ships, which could be regarded as dual-purpose. And this fierce fire oil is such a good thing, Chen Zuyi naturally can't just use it for naval battles. On the land, a little fire, a fierce fire oil thrown, its power is no less than the earth-shattering thunder in the hands of the Ming army.
These bandits were sure that they could burn Zhu Su to death, and these fierce fire oils, which were invincible in the South Seas, naturally gave them great confidence.
Zhu Su knew very well that this fire could not be shaken, so he asked the soldiers to throw a few earth-shattering thunderbolts at these bandits from afar, and after they were so frightened that they had no time to care, he hurriedly said to the left and right: "Quick, look for a way out that is not blocked by fire." ”
"If a thief starts in a hurry, there must be something incomplete...... If we don't hurry up and wait for them to set fire on all sides with fire oil, we'll be done! ”
Everyone nodded and agreed, they conquered the northern frontier and cut down Timur, what world has never seen? The fire alone can't let them mess up on their own. So, taking advantage of the cover of the flames and smoke, the group turned around sharply and looked for a gap in the sea of fire.
The mountain wind is quite strong tonight, and because of this humid mountain wind, the flames can't be burned...... However, now the fire caused by the fire oil has become a trend, and the wind borrows the fire, and the fire helps the wind, and the fire spreads at a very fast speed, rolling this mountain like a mountain of flames.
Zhu Su and the others rushed left and right in this sea of fire, sometimes finding a way out of which they could barely escape, but they were forced back by the flames that spread and stopped. Everyone had no choice but to keep Zhu Su and continue to flee and search, the flames caused by the oil were accompanied by pungent smoke, coupled with the high temperature, everyone's faces were scorched, and their brains were dizzy.
Finally, another gap was found, and the dog was overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned to the general: "There is no fire here...... Quick, escort His Highness through! ”
The soldiers of the Ming army hurriedly protected Zhu Su and were about to break through, but they had not yet rushed out, but they were the first to rain arrows. Turning his head, it was the old thief Kou who led people to arrive, and the old thief Kou silver threads were flying, looking like crazy: "Ming Gouzi, don't want to escape from Grandpa's palm!" ”
"Quick! Fast! What about the fierce fire oil! Fast! Burn these bright dogs! ”
The dog's eyes were quick, and he had already taken off the loaded firearm on his back, and with a "bang", the altar in the hands of the thief soldier who was carrying the oil jar suddenly turned into a fire. The sudden burst of fire engulfed several thieves, who, for a moment, screamed loudly, and then quickly faded away, surviving only for a moment in the heat of the flames.
The old thief seemed to be startled, and hurriedly retreated, but they had succeeded, and the dog had intended to prevent them from throwing the altar and setting it on fire, but the oil jar he shot set off a chain reaction, and the gap was finally blocked by the fire.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" Seeing that there were fires on all sides, everyone had no idea.
The smoke from the burning of oil was poisonous, and Zhu Su inhaled too much smoke, only to feel that his lungs were hot and his head was also painful. He knew that there were actually more people who were smoked to death than burned to death in the fire, and he was also a little panicked, but seeing the more than 100 Ming soldiers around him, he knew that these people had put their lives on his hands.
“…… I remember that there was a dry well in the place where we stayed, and maybe these dry wells were connected to the cave in the mountain! Zhu Su suddenly had an idea. If you hide in a dry well, you may be able to escape! ”
The place where Fang just lived belonged to the high place and the limelight of this mountainous area...... After all, the thieves could only set fire on all sides, and the fire oil could not flow to a high place, and it was not burning at this time.
If you can find some caves and other places to hide from the poisonous smoke, you may be able to survive until the fire is extinguished.
And there is such a fire on the mountain, Li Jinglong under the mountain must have known about it. If Li Jinglong can repel the ambush and go up the mountain to fight the fire and save the driver, he will still have a chance to live......
The commander has made a decision, and the three armies are obedient. The group hurriedly ran to the left of several wooden houses where they lived before, and the dog jumped into the well to explore the way, and then Zhu Su, Chang Mao, Di Meng and others also entered the well one after another to avoid the toxic smoke.
It is difficult for the people on the mountain to get water, so they can only dig wells to get water from the mountain. The water in this mountain is actually a dark river in the mountain, and since the well water has dried up, this dark river has naturally become a cave in the mountain. Zhu Su jumped into the well and found that the well was indeed connected to a cave, but the cave was not big, and it could barely accommodate more than a dozen people. After a few more steps into the depths, it was gradually only the size of a bowl, and it was impossible to pass through people.
Seeing that Zhu Su in the well looked in a hurry, the guards of the King of Zhou behind him showed generosity, and one of the guards said: "Your Highness and all the robes do not worry, I have been with His Highness for many years, fighting in the south and the north, and have made many military achievements." ”
"It's good for you to go into the well, and even if we burn to death here today, this life will be in vain...... May Your Highness be invincible and avenge us! ”
"!" Zhu Su had climbed out of the well. "Do you want this king to abandon you? Before death, what kind of last words did you say? ”
"Quick, blow this hole open! This king doesn't believe it, and he can't blow up a cave that can accommodate more than 100 people! ”
As soon as Zhu Su said this, the Ming army suddenly woke up to the fact that gunpowder still has this purpose. At this time, the Ming Dynasty already had a method of using gunpowder to open the mountain for quarrying and mining, and these people had seen these since they had fought with Zhu Su.
According to Zhu Su's intentions, everyone gathered all the gunpowder such as the earth-shaking thunder in their possession, and even the firecracker tore open the paper bullet and scattered the gunpowder in one place. Then one of them threw the fire fold into the well...... There was a bang, as if the ground was shaking, and there was an unstable sound under his feet.
"Quick, escort His Highness into the cave! The fire is coming! Chang Mao said urgently.
I didn't have time to see the results of the gunpowder explosion, and the Ming army of more than 100 people counted one by one, and they hurriedly drilled into the movement one by one like dumplings. The smoke in the cave had not yet cleared, and they did not know if the cave had been blown up by explosives...... Now that the fire is almost burning to the butt, where else can they think so much?
Fortunately, Zhu Su's judgment is not bad, and the small hole the size of the bowl mouth is the mountain spring mouth of this well in the past. Since it is the mouth of the spring, there is naturally a dark river behind it...... With the explosion of gunpowder, the dry well here and the dark river were suddenly connected.
The space suddenly became a lot larger.
Fortunately, Zhu Su only brought a hundred people, and these more than a hundred Ming troops hid in this blasted dry well, and they could barely accommodate it. There was still some running water in the dark river that was blown up, which was just used to wet the battle robe to cover the mouth and nose...... Di Meng, who was looking at the wind at the entrance of the cave, saw the fire whistling outside, the heat was pressing, the smoke was bursting, and occasionally there was a faint sound of shouting and collapsing.
But although the smoke in the cave is choking, it is not as terrible as the fire...... There was a sea of fire outside, and although Zhu Su and the others were embarrassed in this well, they were as stable as Mount Tai.
