The space is narrow, the terrain is complex, and there are powerful enemies stationed there. Not to mention that Xia Fan only has a few warriors at his disposal. Even if he has a professional army of warriors, he would not be willing to throw himself underground to fight the enemy to the death.
The most suitable method for dealing with enemies hiding in fortifications is blasting.
Enemies may be wary of incense, poisonous gas, or even fire attacks, but the same is not true of harmless flour and sawdust. Even if they are aware of it, they are prone to delays and hesitation in judging their intentions.
This hesitation is often fatal.
When there was movement below the well, more than thirty bags of powder had been poured into the vaulted hall. In the dark, they were inconspicuous and would not cause any harm. If collected, they could even be cooked into paste and eaten. .
"Luo You'er, it's your turn." Xia Fan winked at the little girl.
Although Luo Youer didn't know what would happen next, she still used her second best technique as planned -
"Xun Shu Gui Chen, Fu Liu!"
Her name was Fuliu, but what came out in front of her was a strong wind!
Under her control, this gust of wind went straight to the bottom of the well.
"Then what?"
"Me next."
Xia Fan knew without looking that the dust below must have been blown everywhere by the strong wind. When they are fully mixed with the air, the last step only needs to provide a little fire source.
There is no more convenient way to start a fire than lightning.
Xia Fan threw up the copper wire pendant and performed the most familiar alchemy.
"The earthquake technique returns to Shen, thunder!"
The moment the electric light tore through the air and penetrated the wellhead, the earth boiled!
The ignited flour and sawdust burned each other, and then transferred the heat to the surrounding companions. The speed was unimaginable. Almost in an instant, the explosive flames filled the entire hall. Driven by intense heat, the air expands violently until the existing space can no longer contain it.
"boom-------"
With an earth-shaking loud noise, hot air waves spurted directly from the patio, like a fire rising into the sky. The buckets and wooden frames hanging above the wellhead were torn to pieces like pieces of paper, and even several bricks beside the well were lifted up.
Xia Fan felt a punch on the ground beneath his feet.
But this is far from over.
Just when everyone looked shocked, the second explosion came as promised, even more violent than the first!
That's because a low-pressure area is created at the center of the explosion, causing surrounding air to be sucked in quickly.
The first round of explosion wind has raised all the unignited dust, which is equivalent to a more thorough mixing. The inhaled dust instantly caused the concentration of suspended combustibles in the center to exceed the critical point, and the air at several hundred degrees Celsius could ignite the newly added fuel again even without the need for an open flame.
This time, the flame pillar erupted from the patio and rushed more than ten meters away. Even though they had retreated to the fence, everyone could still feel the scalding heat wave hitting their faces.
Participants who had doubts about this before were now left with shock and confusion.
It is obviously something to eat, but even if you add some sawdust, it will only burn. Why does it have such terrifying power after being mixed together
This is too incredible.
Ning Wanjun faced the hot wind with an intoxicated look on her face.
She had little doubt about the outcome from the start, so it was easier to enjoy.
This trip was indeed not in vain.
The princess seemed to have returned to the familiar border battlefield, fighting against the enemy amidst the sounds of fireworks and drums and trumpets.
Sure enough, compared to sitting in the court, going to the front line made her feel more happy.
The only fly in the ointment was that she originally thought that Xia Fan's move would only weaken the power of the Donghai Gang, and in the end it would be up to the alchemists to decide the outcome. But judging from the current situation, she felt that even if there were still people alive down there, they probably wouldn't be able to fight with her.
On the other side, Wuyue Yao opened his mouth wide and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
She was still worried before whether the princess could win this battle and what price she would have to pay, but now the thought in her mind changed to another - what if the An family magician was killed by flour and sawdust? The news spread back to the other side of the sea. I wonder what the people in Dongsheng Kingdom will think.
You would probably not hesitate to denounce it as a ridiculous lie, right
"Is this how Qi Guo used alchemy..." After the shock, Nai Hong said thoughtfully, "As expected of the successor of Yong Guo, this trick can also be used by us."
"Indeed." Xue Qing sighed and nodded. Although gunpowder based on saltpeter and sulfur can also achieve such an effect, the former is much more difficult to collect, and opponents will be more vigilant. It is not allowed by the private sector. Private sale. Flour is different. As long as it is planted, it can be produced stably. There are many people who are proficient in Xun Shu and Li Shu. "If you use it a little more flexibly, assassinations will become more difficult to prevent."
"What are you talking about?" Only Shanhui looked surprised.
"No..." Nai Hong and Nai Qing looked at each other and chose to ignore it, "It has nothing to do with you. You should go find Mr. Li. When the smoke clears, they will probably go down the well."
The truth is, that waits until morning.
The temperature in the tunnel dropped extremely slowly, and even though Luo You'er had been using Xun Shu to ventilate, the air waves gushing out of the courtyard were still unbearably hot. Fortunately, Xia Fan was well prepared. The princess troops guarding the street were not only a reserve force to prevent the Donghai Gang from escaping, but also a reliable option to seal off the scene.
The two loud noises at night could not fail to attract the attention of local residents, so he simply asked Xu Sanzhong to block off the Hongmu Building and the two surrounding streets, and check the identities of the people on the two floors one by one - if the Donghai Gang still slipped through the net The fish are most likely the guards hidden in inns and brothels.
It wasn't until dawn broke that Xia Fan led everyone into the tunnel from the entrance to the patio.
After two rounds of impact, the iron fence had already become too loose, and a few steps on it completely separated it from the vault.
At this time, the smoke and dust had basically settled, the air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell, and the walls were full of black traces of burning.
After stepping on the ground, the first thing that caught the eye was a dozen corpses. Their limbs could hardly be said to be intact, and their anal parts were even burnt brown. The solidified blood scabs were like lava imprinted on the dry surface.
These people should have been closely monitoring the situation in the patio at the time, in case someone suddenly broke into the lobby from above the dome, and therefore became the first targets of the explosion.
But the way they died was considered lucky.
Further away - such as at the entrance to the passage and at the edge of the lobby - there were also a large number of people lying down. These white-robed warriors had ferocious faces, their faces were purple, and their throats were covered with bloody marks. They were obviously in much more pain than their accomplices who instantly lost consciousness. After the explosion, the air here became extremely hot. Breathing was a quick suicide, while holding one's breath was a slow suicide. The only thing they could do was to choose one of the two.
