A cannonball slammed into the lake at Xie Chunqiu's feet first, and the three-zhang high waves in the loud bang rolled Xie Chunqiu and fell towards the deck of the broken ship like a dragon breaking through the water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hit!"

"Wang Cannon is indeed a sharpshooter!"

"One thousand taels of silver is here!"

When the soldiers of Laozi Mountain cheered for the sharpshooter Wang Zhuang, Xie Chunqiu took a breath out of thin air, spun a few times like a top in the water dragon, skillfully avoided the bombardment of the huge waves, and fell towards the turbid lake again.

"Damn, this scumbag is so hard!"

The scene of Xie Chunqiu's near death made Chang Wei regretful, Wang Zhuang's shot was only half a foot away from directly hitting Xie Chunqiu, but unfortunately he still let him pick up a life.

Xie Chunqiu, who stepped on the lake with both feet, looked up at the boat, and showed a victorious smile at Chang Wei, although Xie Chunqiu was defeated in this battle, but in the **********, he escaped under the gun, and it was indeed a game back.

Bang bang!

Two gunshots suddenly rang out from Chang Wei's side and from the array of musketeers on the lower level, and Xie Chunqiu's smile suddenly froze on his face, as he saw two fiery red bullets flying straight towards him.

If he continued to sink, he would definitely die, Xie Chunqiu kicked the lake with both feet, wanting to use the weak power of the lake to move sideways. But it was too late, bang, the first bullet hit the lower abdomen, and the severe pain immediately made him lose control of his body, and his body tilted and continued to sink.

Bang, the second bullet hit the bridge of the nose with great precision, and with a click, Xie Chunqiu's skull burst instantly, and the blood and brains swirled and fell into the lake, making the water surface dirty and dirty.

Xie Chunqiu, whose head burst, sank into the Honghu Lake with a pop, floating and sinking in the water unconsciously, and the top master generation of heroes completely ended his life of sin.

"Why didn't Xie Chunqiu split the bullet like Chu Tiankuo?" Chang Wei looked at Xie Chunqiu's corpse, but the scene of Chu Tiankuo splitting the bullet with his bare hands appeared in his mind.

"Hahaha, my lord, I hit it!" Poplar's ecstatic laughter woke Chang Wei up.

"Okay, it's really a sharpshooter! I'll go back and reward you with a thousand taels of silver!" Chang Wei loudly announced the reward.

Hu Yang knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Thank you, sir!"

Chang Wei pointed to Laozi Mountain not far away and said, "However, Wang Zhuang also has great merit, and he will also be rewarded with a thousand taels!"

"Oh~Thank you, sir!" cheered from afar.

Chang Wei's gaze fell on the lower deck again, the young soldier who shot Xie Chunqiu in the lower abdomen was cleaning the chamber of the gun, his calm expression and brisk movements stood out like chickens, so that Chang Wei found him as soon as possible.

"It's the little guy who killed Gou Yannian. ”

"What's your name?" Chang asked loudly.

"Returning to my lord, the musketeer number 301 Yin An!" The young soldier did not have the slightest restraint or excitement, and knelt on one knee with a gun in one hand and performed a standard military salute.

Chang Wei nodded and said, "Yin An, you share the merit of killing the giant Kou Xie Chunqiu with Wang Zhuang and Hu Yang, and you will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!"

"Thank you, sir!" Yin An's face showed a look of surprise, but his expression and movements were not deformed at all, not at all like the ecstatic reaction of ordinary people when they saw the big man and received a huge bounty.

"Very good, Yin An's son will become a great weapon in the future!"

What is the concept of 1,000 taels of silver? The annual income of a well-off family in Jiangnan is only more than 30 taels, and 1,000 taels is equal to all the savings of a well-off family that has not eaten or drunk for 30 years.

In the face of such a huge sum of money, Wang Zhuang and Hu Yangxi roared, and Yin An's performance was extremely calm, Chang Wei said secretly: This person can definitely become a first-class sharpshooter.

If you are rewarded for meritorious service, ordinary soldiers are no exception, otherwise the psychological gap will inevitably hurt morale, Chang Wei announced again: "The soldiers of the volunteer battalion who participated in the war will each be rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and the meritorious ones will be rewarded separately!"

"Oh~ Thank you, sir!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"I am willing to serve the death of adults!"

After a reward, the volunteer battalion roared with joy, and everyone rejoiced, but hated that there were too few water thieves and that the enemy was not enough to fight.

Although Xie Chunqiu, Gou Yannian, and Zhu Junda were shot in the head, their bodies were extremely valuable trophies, and the soldiers salvaged them and salted them in lime, preparing to take them back to Nanjing to hand them over for merit.

Chang Wei asked Wang Zhuang and others to remove the corpses and skulls on Laozi Mountain, pour fire oil on them, and burn them clean. As for the rest of the place, everyone was not allowed to move, because Chang Wei asked from Su Chengcheng's mouth that the treasure was buried under the terrifying Jingguan.

The reason why Chang Wei gave up ammunition in this battle is because there is a treasure here. Otherwise, the reward for the soldiers alone will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, plus the loss of guns and ammunition, where will tens of thousands of taels of silver come from?

Leaving two ships to sweep the battlefield and guard Laozi Mountain, Chang Wei's flagship and another warship followed the speedboats that were pointing the way, chasing the enemy patrol ships that had fled earlier.

There was only a light breeze on the lake, but with the skill of the sailors, the sails were soon full, and even the flags were blown to the sound of hunting, and in a moment the two warships disappeared into the rising sun.

After chasing for half an hour, after turning five or six winding shallows, a dense reed swing appeared in front of it, and it seemed that there was no way out, but the speedboat pushed away the reeds and went deep into it.

Chang Wei stood on the top floor of the building ship and looked at the depths of the reeds with a clairvoyant mirror, and there was a dark area inside, but he couldn't see it clearly. Sailors lowered their sails and paddled in reverse directions to slow down the ship and stop it from moving forward.

There are many shallow waters in this place, and there are reeds everywhere, and the big ships will definitely run aground when they come in.

Chang Wei asked the sailors to put down the boat and the speedboat, and took He Chengkong, Tang Xingtian, and hundreds of musketeers to get off the boat and board the boat, heading for the dark tidal flats in the depths of the reeds.

Chang Wei and his subordinates' attention were on the tidal flat in front of them, and they didn't notice that there was a canopy boat in a small waterway a few miles away, and a gray-clothed man on board was also observing their movements with a thousand miles of barrels.

"He Chengkong! Tang Xingtian! Musket artillery, there are also Changkong peerless and Kongzhi monks over there in Pinghu Courtyard, no wonder ......" The face of the gray-clothed man was completely covered by the wide felt hat on his head, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Muttering to himself for a while, the gray-clothed man reluctantly glanced at the dark place, and said, "Chang Wei, the coming day is long." Then, alone in a small boat, he disappeared into the reeds.

Chang Wei traveled for two quarters of an hour in a small boat through the reeds, and in front of him was a shallow land area of small islands and tidal flats, overgrown with unknown black trees and man-high weeds.

At the entrance of the land, two columns of arched black reefs stretch for dozens of zhang to form a natural portal on both sides of the entrance, and in the middle is a narrow waterway of more than ten steps, and the reef wall is more than one zhang high like a knife, which is extremely steep.
