Chapter 243: Hongyi Cannon

Pure and embarrassed landed outside Chu Yuan, and couldn't help but be horrified. She had already thought about it repeatedly, how could it still ignite the mines and artillery after it was raining so heavily tonight. However, Chun Yu was not lightly bombed by a mine outside the west gate of Yangzhou, so he was still on guard for a long time. As soon as the explosion on the first floor of the Heavenly Pavilion began, Chun Yu had already floated out of the garden.

Nangong Weiman and the others also added twelve points of caution, and before the mines under their feet ignited, they had already escaped from the park. It's a pity that those officers and soldiers who didn't have time to flee groaned for a few times, and then there was no movement. This time, the officers and soldiers suffered more than 400 casualties.

Chun Yu wiped the rain from his face, and looked at the Qingtian Pavilion in front of him, his face became even more solemn. It was only then that she realized that the Optimus Pavilion had now changed from the ninth floor to the eighth floor. But what is surprising is that although the first floor of the Optimus Pavilion was damaged, the upper eight floors were not damaged at all, and they fell steadily on the original ground.

Chun Yu glanced behind him, and saw that Nangong Weiman and the others were all pale and panting.

"Nangong Weiman, this is your good plan. Chun Yu looked at Nangong Weiman coldly, as if he was about to step forward and take a bite.

Nangong Weiman was covered with goosebumps when he was looked at by his pure and sharp gaze. His heart was also angry: this Chu Jinglian had a deep scheming, and he actually regarded Qingtian Pavilion as a medicine twist for Chu Mansion's mines. Abandoning the first floor not only extinguished the fire of the officers and soldiers, but also buried hundreds of officers and soldiers in Chu Garden. The key is that not a single knife or shot has been moved, not a single soldier has been injured, and even Chu Jinglian's face has not been seen clearly.

Nangong Weiman has traveled south and north since he was a child, walking the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know how rich his experience is. Nangong Weiman is full of people all day long, no matter who he meets, he always smiles, and he is born with a simple and honest, harmless face to humans and animals. But no matter what kind of thieves and kidnappers, as long as they talk to him, in the end, there is only a pair of pants left, and they are scurrying with their heads in their hands. Therefore, the name of Nangong Weiman and Iron Buddha can be said to be well-known in the north and south of the country.

But tonight's performance of Chu Jinglian was far beyond the expectations of Nangong Weiman and Princess Chunyu and others. In less than two days, this mine artillery made Chu Jinglian use endlessly. At that time, Zhuge Wuhou was familiar with the thirteen chapters of Sun Wuzi, but he was the best at attacking the chapters. Now Chu Jinglian doesn't know whether to follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou back then and specialize in mines and artillery.

Nangong Weiman had no smile on his face at this time, and it was as gloomy as the night sky. He scratched his head, thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the villain still has a plan, Guan Bao can capture Chu Jinglian." ”

Chun's bright eyes sparkled, and he said loudly: "Hurry up!"

Nangong Weiman glanced at Qingtian Pavilion and said loudly: "This Chu Jinglian can use mine artillery, why can't we use it." Your Royal Highness Princess, as long as you transfer a Hongyi cannon from Yangzhou City and give this Qingtian Pavilion two cannons, I believe that Chu Jinglian will definitely be captured. ”

Chun Yan frowned slightly, and shook his head: "Yangzhou is more than forty miles away from here, if you transport a Hongyi cannon of more than 6,000 catties, you need an eight-wheeled cart and dozens of officers and soldiers. It takes a day and a night to pull here from Yangzhou. And now it is pouring rain, and the gunpowder will be damp and invalid before it can be pulled here. ”

Nangong Wei said with a sad face: "To say that it is indeed a bit troublesome to pull a Hongyi cannon. But now there are countless mechanisms in this Qingtian Pavilion, and this Chu Mansion is probably also full of mines. I don't even think we can even climb to the third floor of the Sky Tower. ”

The princess thought about it again and again, but it was still difficult to decide.

Nangong Weiman said: "If Her Royal Highness the princess is not at ease, the villain is willing to go to Yangzhou to get the cannon." Her Royal Highness can only think of other good ideas here. ”

The princess nodded Chun Yu: "Now it's just like this." Big Prince, go and come back quickly!"

Nangong Weiman was ordered to return to Yangzhou.

Princess Chunyu ordered the officers and troops to withdraw from Chu Yuan and surrounded Chu Yuan. At this time, the fire in Chu Yuan had already been extinguished by heavy rain, but Chun Yu still did not dare to step into Chu Yuan for half a step.

On the top floor of the Qingtian Pavilion, Chu Jinglian looked at the corpses of the officers and soldiers lying vertically in the Chu Garden, listened to the wails of the officers and soldiers, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He clearly saw that the water in the heavenly river was dyed red by the blood of the officials and soldiers, or whether it was reflected red by the flames that rushed to the sky. In short, it's intoxicatingly red.

From the moment the official army entered the Chu Mansion, Chu Jinglian's nerves had been tense. Although he set up a net here, in the face of thousands of officers and soldiers, Chu Jinglian still did not dare to take it lightly.

After the officers and troops withdrew from Chu Garden, the heavy rain gradually extinguished the burning flames. The Chu Mansion fell silent again.

Zhao Yushan said with some uneasiness: "Pure retreat without attacking, I don't know what tricks to play?"

Zhao Yushan's words reminded Chu Jinglian, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth gradually dissipated. Chu Jinglian is not Zhu Cihuan, he is familiar with military books and knows Tao strategy. He has said to himself more than once that as long as he does not see the day of success, he must not have the slightest luck and carelessness. Although Chun Yu is young, he is by no means a mediocre talent who likes rouge and powder. The people of the four major villas, such as Nangong Weiman and Murong Changqing, are all scheming, and they are all leaders of the Jianghu generation, so they can't be careless.

But what exactly are they doing? Chu Jinglian couldn't even guess.

Chu Jinglian looked at the gradually whitening sky, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

The innocent officers and soldiers guarded outside Chu Yuan for a whole day, and she and the soldiers simply ate the dry food they carried with them, without the slightest rest. She stood outside Chu Garden, her eyes always fixed on the top floor of the Heavenly Pavilion. Whether it's night or day, the candle on the top floor of the Sky Pavilion is always flickering. No matter how strong the wind and rain outside, it never goes out.

It was twilight again, and the rain gradually stopped. A junior school ran to Chun Yu in a hurry, hit a thousand with one leg, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, Nangong Weiman has pulled the cannon here." ”

"So fast?" Chun Fu's brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of joy.

She strode out of the Chu Mansion, only to see an eight-wheeled cart outside the gate of the Chu Mansion, covered with a huge butter-leather canvas. There were four oxen in front of the cart, and they were already panting. Nangong Weiman stood on the ground, looking at the princess with a smug face. There were eight officers and soldiers beside him, and they were already soaking wet.

The princess took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand to untie the canvas, and there was a Hongyi cannon lying on the cart. The black cannon body and the black hole of the cannon are intimidating. There was also a bundle of rope and a huge porcelain altar on the cart.

The princess pointed to the porcelain altar: "What is that?"

Nangong Wei smiled and said, "It's black powder here." ”

Chun Yu shook off his robe and said loudly: "Set up artillery bombardment building." ”

At the sound of the order, dozens of soldiers immediately began to set up the cannons.
