The 605th night attack on Shuangyu Island
Unconsciously, the sky has gradually darkened, the night of the island is darker than the Central Plains, from the sun falling below the sea level, to the sky is dark, that is, a blink of an eye, the wolf and Xu Hai chatted attentively, completely ignoring the fact that the light has darkened, and when they found that it was already night, they turned their heads to look out the window, the island and the castle have been lit up everywhere, only their own hut is still pitch black.
Xu Hai sighed, walked to the table in the middle of the room, waved his fingers, and a dancing spark suddenly jumped on his fingertips, the wolf recognized that this was the Shaolin School's Burning Finger Divine Skill, and the wood-burning knife method learned in the Huangshan School before was based on this skill, and the method of running internal force was almost the same. Most of Xu Hai's martial arts were learned from the master of the first phase, and this burning finger magic skill must have been learned in this way.
Xu Hai lit a candlestick on the table with the flame in his hand, and the already dark room suddenly became bright again, and the flickering flames reflected his tightly knit face, obviously moved by the words of the wolf, and was thinking about the possibility of Yan Shifan and the Shimazu clan joining forces.
Xu Hai sighed and said: "Brother Lang, you are right, there is indeed this possibility, Yan Shifan may have already had a relationship with the Shimazu clan at this time, this time he left with us in a bad mood, it is impossible to just give up like this, you say, what should we do next?"
The wolf smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an earth-shaking sound outside, far away from the sea in the south, Xu Hai's face changed greatly, and he blurted out: "It's not good, it's a cannon!"
Before Xu Hai's words fell, he only heard the explosion of cannonballs when they landed on the island, and it was the first time that the wolf was in this kind of realm of ten thousand cannons, only to feel that the two ears were roaring continuously, and his mind was also dizzy for a while, and the blood in his chest that had been calmed down was shaken and surged for a while, and he almost vomited.
But the wolf still reacted instinctively, with a wave of his left hand, a burst of internal force broke out from his fingertips, and went straight to the candlestick in Xu Hai's hand.
As soon as the wolf's finger power came out, the person also rolled off the bed, no matter how high the martial arts, to hit this flowering cannonball, it would only become a puddle of meat and mud, when the battle of the Falling Moon Gorge was fought, Ding Xiu and others of the Hengshan faction beat the people of the Agni Fire Palace with a fire gun into a hornet's nest, which is still vividly remembered, the wolf shrank under the bed board, and shouted to Xu Hai: "Brother Xu, get down!"
Xu Hai reacted immediately when the lights went out, he didn't need to be reminded by the wolf, he just lay down on the ground, and after hearing the wolf's voice, he also crawled over, he knew that the wolf extinguished the lights because he didn't want to provide an attack target for the enemy's shells, and the first thing he said after coming over was: "Brother Lang, thank you so much, I can't imagine that you can react like this at this time!"
The wolf shook his head, the ground was already shaking outside, explosions and screams came and went, the whole earth was shaking violently, the two wooden windows on the window hole had already been blown away by the explosion waves, and the raging fire and the strong pungent smell of gunsmoke through the window filled the entire room, revealing a trace of terrible killing intent in this darkness.
Heavenly Wolf asked loudly, "Brother Xu, what the hell is going on, who is attacking Shuangyu Island?"
Xu Hai leaned on the ground with one ear and listened carefully, before raising his head and gritting his teeth, he said: "Dog's day is from the south, it must be Chen Sipan, it sounds like there are more than a hundred gunboats, and the officers and navy divisions definitely don't have this strength." Hey. No, it sounds like there is a big general cannon of the Franc man, could it be that the Franc man is also attacking us? ”
Sky Wolf's heart moved. Said hurriedly: "Brother Xu, now can you hear what the situation on the island is, is there a counterattack?" In fact, in his heart, he wished that the pirates and Westerners would eat black and black, dog eat dog, but now that he is on the island after all, it would be too bad if he burned jade with these pirates. And just a few days ago, it was agreed with him. There was such a big mess today, it was obviously abnormal, and the Heavenly Wolf faintly felt that this matter was afraid that it would be inseparable from Yan Shifan.
Xu Hai said hatefully: "Actually, those red-clothed general cannons you saw originally. It is facing the sea in the south, because the sailors of the imperial court are not worried now, and Chen Sipan is the big trouble, but that day in order to make an appearance for you. Let me show you how good we are. Specially transferred those huge cannons to the north, the muzzle of the cannon is facing the direction of the imperial court, it has not been transported back in the past few days, it seems that there must be a thief to send these thousands of knives to the ventilation message, just to catch us off guard. ”
"At this time, the leaders of all walks of life have returned, and the garrison of the island is only the guard of the ship owner, but you listen to this cannon, the battery on the island has also begun to counterattack. Brother Lang, don't worry. You have also seen some of the defenses on the island, and they are really like golden soup iron cylinders, even if they are 100,000 troops, they may not be able to attack them. ”
Xu Hai said as he spoke, a confident smile began to appear on his face, after experiencing the initial panic, listening to the sound of artillery outside, he could immediately judge the size and strength of the opponent after a long time on the battlefield, out of a clear understanding of his own strength, he became more and more convinced that this attack was just a failed attempt.
The sky wolf was not so optimistic, his brows were tightly locked, and he said: "Brother Xu, this Chen Sipan and the Francophile can collude together to attack together, obviously they are prepared, I don't think they will attack so recklessly, I hear this cannon sound getting closer and closer, are they ready to land?" ”
Xu Hai hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "Brother Lang, I'm still afraid that they won't go to the island, this time they raided, somehow the brothers in the south didn't have any warning, now the fleet on the sea can't be counted on, if they evacuate and escape at this time, we really can't catch up, but if they land on the island like this now, then the guards on our island can just wipe them out, and you have seen the defense of the castle, just rely on their more than 100 ships of people, how can they attack it, as long as it lasts for a night, Our brothers on the periphery will rush to the periphery when they receive the news, and when the time comes, we will not have to go to Chen Sipan's lair again. ”
Sky Wolf's heart moved. He asked, "How did the southern fleet put such a large number of enemy troops in?" Who is in charge of the garrison there, and will it be that Chen Sipan has already colluded? ”
Xu Hai's face changed, and he blurted out: "It's Shangquan Nobuyuki who is in charge of the garrison in the south." Is it ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly the window became as bright as day, and the fire rushed through the whole room with a huge wave of scorching heat, and the tables, chairs and benches in the room seemed to be blown by a strong typhoon, flew into the air, and smashed against the walls. A huge explosion sounded like thunder in his ears, shaking the wolf's ears and starting to bleed outward, and he couldn't even hear Xu Hai, who was close by, talking. I saw his pale face opening and closing his mouth.
Even if they had already hid under the bed and lay on their stomachs, the huge wave of qi still almost lifted the wolf and Xu Hai off the ground and blew them into the air, and the two of them hurriedly used the body technique of a thousand catties. At the same time, his hands gripped the legs of the bed. This did not blow the scorching waves.
Immediately afterwards, the thunderous sound continued one after another, and after the first wave of overwhelming shock waves, it was mixed with a large amount of dust with a strong smell of gunsmoke, and with the continuous air waves coming one after another, soon, the wolf saw that Xu Hai's white face became like black charcoal. Only the whites of the two eyes were rolled and rolled, proving that he was not a black man.
The loud sound of the first explosion was relieved. The Sky Wolf was finally able to speak, he opened his mouth, spit out a mouth full of dust, and roared loudly: "What's the matter, why is this explosion so powerful?!"
Xu Hai wiped his face fiercely, his black and white eyes were clearly bloodshot, and he also roared loudly: "It's not good!" It must have been the inner ghost of the dog day who blew up the island's arsenal, and this explosion must have been an explosion of more than 100,000 catties of explosives. ”
Sky Wolf suddenly thought of the locked houses he saw in the castle when he went to the island a few days ago, and hurriedly asked, "Are these explosives in those small houses in the city?" It's the ones that are locked, and they don't even have windows."
Xu Hai shook his head, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, which is almost the only place on his body now that is still white except for the whites of his eyes: "No, those rooms have no windows, gunpowder can't be placed in them, deliberately confusing the spies and you, so they are put like that, the cannons and gunpowder needed by the cannons and musketeers on the island are all placed in the secret room on the third basement floor of the castle, just to prepare for today's artillery battle, which will hit the enemy's cannonballs in the powder magazine, causing a big explosion, damn, this thief must know the layout of the island, will detonate the ammunition depot. ”
Celestial Wolf asked, "Could it be Nobuyuki Kamiizumi?" ”
Xu Hai gritted his teeth: "No, after all, he is an Oriental, and he was introduced by someone from the Shimazu family before, although he has not had any contact with the Shimazu family later, but the owner of the Wang ship has always been wary of him, that is, he and his subordinates are also arranged to face Chen Sipan in the south, but they don't want Kamizumi Nobuyuki to have anything to do with the Shimazu family." He was rarely allowed to come to the island, and he would not know the island's defenses, let alone the arsenal. ”
Sky Wolf's brows furrowed, although the explosions outside were coming and going now, but before he figured out who was his friend and who was the enemy, he didn't plan to rush out like this, out of the inner ghost, if he didn't pay attention to this, maybe he didn't know how to die for a while.
Sky Wolf asked: "The guard of the owner of Wang, I think it is either Japanese or Franco, these people should know the defense situation on the island, are they reliable?" ”
Xu Hai was slightly stunned, blinked his eyes, and said: "These are all people with extraordinary abilities recruited by the owner of the Wang ship with high salaries, and they are usually extremely courteous. ”
Tianluo slapped his thigh: "Brother Xu, maybe the problem is with these people, think about it, the thing that happened to Chen Sipan is your top-secret information, and even a high-level leader like Shangquan Nobuyuki doesn't know, but Chen Sipan can take the initiative to attack Shuangyu Island with the Franco machine man this time, obviously he received the news and knew that you were going to deal with him, so he struck first, and I think he might have known about it before I came to the island, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a powerful attack army within a few days, I'm afraid that the guards of this Wang ship owner will not be trusted!"
Xu Hai glanced at the blazing outside, listening to the explosions one after another, getting closer and closer to him. frowned: "I don't care so much now, my subordinates should be absolutely loyal and reliable, no matter what." Rush out first and find my private soldiers in the house. Sirius, how are your injuries now, and can you move freely? ”
The wolf rolled on the ground and got out from under the bed, and a carp stood up and shook the ashes off his body. I moved my right shoulder, and although it was a little painful, my right arm could move freely. After another bit of luck, there was a faint pain in the broken ribs, but the internal breath was still running smoothly, and he gritted his teeth. Pull the bandage off your right shoulder. I saw that the wound on my shoulder, which was about three inches long, had formed a thick black scab, and my superhuman healing ability and the elixir given by Iga Tianchang finally played a role at this time, so that I could heal from the injury at this most critical time, and I could exert seven or eight percent of my strength.
While putting on his bedside clothes and pants, Sky Wolf touched a few important things in his underwear pocket, especially gold medals and tokens, which were still hard and hard, and his heart was relieved. And the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Mo Evil Sword were also placed at the head of the original bed, and they shook the shock wave of the explosion just now. Flew to the bed board, and was also taken by him, the left sword and the right knife, both out of the sheath, the sword light and sword qi of the cold suddenly made him enter the battle state, his mind became clear, and his reaction and sense of smell suddenly regained the sharpness of a wolf.
Xu Hai also got up at this time, he cleaned up the ashes on his body for a while, scattered his hair, took out a golden rope from his arms, and tied up the hair on his forehead, which was also his standard dress when fighting, and two short knives, one long and one short, were copied in his hands like a trick.
Xu Hai turned back to the sky wolf and said loudly: "Sky wolf, after going out, go to the main fort to save the owner of the ship, and then rush down to the city, my people are absolutely loyal and reliable, they must have prepared the ships to escape, even if this Shuangyu Island can't be defended, we can also move to other places." ”
Sky Wolf nodded, he also realized that if he could save Wang Zhi's life at this time, then the whole council would have a turnaround, Wang Zhi was betrayed by his own people, leading his rival to attack the island, in any case, Shuangyu Island is only afraid that it will not be able to recover its vitality in the next few years, Wang Zhi has no capital to fight against the court and bargain, but after all, he is the leader of more than 100,000 Japanese robbers, and he can't die at this time, otherwise the Japanese will have no co-owner, and they will be even more crazy to loot coastal towns, and it will only be the suffering of the people at that time, so even if he hates Wang Zhi Xu Hai, Nor can they be allowed to lose their lives at this time.
Xu Hai saw the wolf nodding, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, his body moved, and he rushed out of the door, the wolf suddenly felt a trace of strangeness, and the murderous aura outside the door suddenly increased, and there was a vague pungent smell of gunpowder, he yelled badly, but he saw that Xu Hai's hand had already put on the doorknob and was about to pull the door out.
In the flash of light, the wolf realized that it was too late to give a warning at this time, and the dragon slashing knife in his right hand suddenly turned red, and a wolf half-moon slashed out of the knife, and the half-moon-shaped red knife qi quickly attacked Xu Hai.
Xu Hai only felt that the wind was blowing in the back of his head, and he couldn't care about pulling the door, a big spin back, the short knife in his left hand brought a burst of cyan knife qi, the shining knife light reflected the brightness in the room, a round knife qi came out, and directly collided with the red wolf half-moon slash in the air, "bang" There was a loud bang, the two of them each took three steps back, the back of the wolf hit the wall behind him heavily, and Xu Hai was also knocked away from the door.
Xu Hai's eyes flashed with murder, and the long knife in his right hand was full of murderous eyes, and the long knife in his right hand was smashed, and the long knife in his right hand was smashed, and the long knife in his right hand was smashed, and the long knife in his right hand was smashed, and the long knife in his right hand was smashed, and the long knife in his right hand was killed, and the long knife in his right hand was killed, and the long knife in his right hand was killed, and the long knife in his right hand was killed, and the long σ knife in his right hand was killed
Because the sound of the explosion was too loud, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and Xu Hai's feelings of going out to fight were too strong, so he was negligent just now, and he didn't even notice the musketeers who were ambushed outside the door.
Xu Hai looked at the bullet holes on the wall, cold sweat broke out on his back, he had just walked around the ghost gate, he and the opposite wolf met in their eyes, this time they were already grateful, the two of them invariably reached a consensus in this one eye contact, Xu Hai bent down, the long and short knives shot out one after another, the two knives angrily split the door shaft, and with a loud shout, the two heavy Nanmu door panels flew outside.
There were six or seven more crisp sounds, and the musketeers outside were obviously using three shots, and the first people to shoot must have been reloading at this time, while the people in the second and third rows stepped forward to fire, and the room was pitch black, and they didn't know what the situation was inside.
Taking advantage of the fact that the gunners' attention was all attracted by the door panel, the Sky Wolf flew out of the window hole where there was no window, and this time no shot was fired at him, and at the moment of jumping out, the Sky Wolf saw more than two dozen people dressed in black, masked and dressed up, leaving only a pair of bright eyes outside, dressed as ninjas.
