Chapter 23 Bamboo Tube Dynamite
Qian Xiaoxing was waiting patiently for the result at the bow of the boat. Seeing Lan Lin looking so confident, it seemed that the problem was not big, but suddenly he saw many pirates rushing out of the Red Coral Island. He saw them pushing the boat with weapons and coming over.
"Damn!" Qian Xiaoxing thought that Lan Lin could not convince his brother, so his brother sent someone to rob the ship, and ordered: "Fortunately, I kept a hand and came over with explosives!"
After a while, the soldiers of the guard company sent a lot of bamboo tubes. Qian Xiaoxing does not have a waterproof fuse yet, so he cannot detonate the explosives in the water. However, this is not difficult. As long as the explosives are loaded into the bamboo tube, ignite them and cover the bamboo tube lid. After pouring them into the water, the fuse will not be wet. It can still be detonated.
The soldiers of the guard company were already standing at the bow of the ship with a bamboo tube. Qian Xiaoxing said, "Wait until they get close to you before blowing up!"
Pirates flocked to the boats, and soon came to the side of the merchant ships and surrounded the merchant ships. Some pirates began to throw out melon hooks and hooked the boats to climb up.
"As long as you order!" Qian Xiaoxing raised his hand and waved it down and said, "Pull it!"
The soldiers of the guard company had already stood around the ship and took out the equipped lighter. Everyone lit the fuse with a "click" and covered the lid of the bamboo tube.
"Don't!" Qian Xiaoxing shouted.
Looking at the dense boat next to the merchant ship, thirty-two bamboo tubes were thrown down. After about five or six seconds, almost at the same time, the loud noise shook the entire bay, making the eardrum buzzing.
I saw that water columns soaring into the sky were blown around the merchant ship. Thirty-two water columns formed an oval shape, and the water mist immediately spread in the air, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was strong. Looking at the small boats in the sea, the powerful air waves had overturned the boat, and the pirates on the boat fell into the sea and struggled.
The pirate who had not capsized was also hit by a lot of iron beads, and fell into the cabin and kept bleeding. The pirates who were already aggressive were in a mess after being bombed, crying for their parents and calling for their mothers.
The sea water was blown up to form a wave of waves, spreading around with the merchant ship as the center. The black octopus was watching the battle on the boat behind. When he saw the explosion, he was stunned. The waves hit the boat and shaking it, which woke the black octopus up.
"Come on and run! Quick!" The black octopus woke up and shouted immediately. The explosion was not something that people could do. There must be some magic. It is no different from fighting a person like this. This black octopus still knows it in his heart.
The boat turned around quickly, and the black octopus also helped row the boat with the oars. Qian Xiaoxing saw the black octopus boat. Seeing that he kept shouting and asking everyone to retreat, it seemed that he was a little leader, but he ran a little far and wanted to use explosives to blow it up. Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "Let me find two bamboos and a rope."
The guard company found bamboo and ropes, and at Qian Xiaoxing's instructions, he made a large slingshot. Seeing that the black-bearded boat had run fifty meters away, Qian Xiaoxing ordered: "Put the explosives and hit him!"
The rope was tightened, making the bamboo tip a bow shape, and a bamboo tube explosive was placed in the middle of the rope. Qian Xiaoxing personally lit the fuse and covered the lid, and the bamboo tube explosive was ejected.
The fuse was about ten seconds to burn. The bamboo tube drew a parabola in the air, but fell to more than ten meters to the right of the black octopus. It exploded as soon as it landed on the sea surface. The flying iron beads injured two pirates on the black octopus ship.
The black octopus was shocked to see this. This weapon was so scary. There were four people on the boat, but now two of them were injured and could not row. The boat speed immediately slowed down. The black octopus kicked the injured pirate: "Get down."
The two injured pirates were kicked into the water by the black octopus, and the hull immediately became lighter. The black octopus and the remaining pirates rowed desperately, causing a splash of water.
Qian Xiaoxing saw that the first shot failed and said, "Go to the left a little bit and continue firing!"
The second bamboo tube of explosives flew out, and this time it exploded on the edge of the boat. The air waves overturned the boat and the black octopus fell into the sea.
Qian Xiaoxing was in full swing and shouted, "One more shot!"
With a "boom", the third gun fell near the black octopus, and a water column soared into the sky. The huge explosion force shocked the black octopus, not knowing whether to live or die.
"Haha!" Qian Xiaoxing laughed happily, and saw the pirates around the hull swimming back to Hongcor Island to escape, saying, "If it weren't for the lack of explosives, I would have to blow you all into the sea to feed the fish. Lao Li, let's take the boat away."
Hu Suoyuan asked in confusion: "Chief of Staff, why did you leave? Do you want three million taels of silver?"
"I mainly come to invite them to join the navy this time. Since the agreement cannot be reached, I will definitely come back for three million taels. We will come to wipe them out when our navy is established. There is not much explosives now, and it is still very dangerous for a pirate to counterattack us. Let's retreat first." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
Old Li and the sailors raised the sail together. Qian Xiaoxing looked at the situation on the Red Coral Island in the telescope, but never noticed Lan Lin. Qian Xiaoxing was probably imprisoned by her brother.
The merchant ship slowly turned around in the bay, and Qian Xiaoxing sighed helplessly. It seemed that things would not go as they wished and could not invite pirates into the gang, so he would not see Lan Lin again.
Ling Yi and Li Ting walked out of the cabin. They kept hiding inside during the battle. Now that it is over, they can finally come out and breathe.
Seeing that the boat turned around and went back, Li Ting asked Qian Xiaoxing, "Why did you go back?"
Qian Xiaoxing said disappointedly: "You are disappointed if you failed to get the pirate's treasure."
"We didn't get it, but you have gained a woman's heart and you have gained a good harvest." Li Ting said with a smile.
"What woman, which woman?" Qian Xiaoxing guessed that Li Ting might be talking about Lan Lin, but he didn't say he wanted to agree to him.
Li Ting smiled and said, "What are you pretending? Look, they are already chasing you!"
Qian Xiaoxing looked back nervously and saw a small boat coming quickly behind the boat. The rowing man was wearing blue clothes, which was very conspicuous, which was exactly what Lan Lin usually wore.
"Old Li, stop the boat quickly!" Qian Xiaoxing shouted loudly. Lan Lin was chasing him. Could it be that she couldn't reach an agreement with her brother and wanted to go back to Si Country with her? I felt a little happy when I thought of this.
Not long after, Lan Lin rowed a boat and chased after her. She threw her claw hook, and jumped onto the deck of the merchant ship after several ups and downs.
"Good skills!" Qian Xiaoxing said involuntarily.
Lan Lin had a quick stroke just now, and after coming up, she breathed slightly, and said, "Qian Xiaoxing, are you leaving?"
"Yes, your brother sent pirates to rob me. Fortunately, I have a magical weapon to protect my body, so my brother didn't succeed. Do you think it's interesting for me to stay here? Blue girl, please go with me." Qian Xiaoxing invited.
Lan Lin said anxiously: "You misunderstood, those pirates were not sent by my brother." Then Lan Lin told the story of how the black octopus imprisoned him and his brother. After their brother and sister were tied up, Lan Sha used his brute force to break the rope with his brute force and knocked the guard out before running out. After running out, he saw Qian Xiaoxing's ship turning around, so Lan Lin chased after him.
"So that's how it looks," Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Then your brother means to agree to join our navy?"
Lan Lin happily grabbed Qian Xiaoxing's hand and replied, "Yes, my brother is waiting for you on the shore, go back quickly."
