Chapter 60

As the adjutant said, even if more than 300 carts of grain could be snatched from them, it would be difficult to transport them in a short time by relying on horse-drawn carts alone, and they were afraid that before they could go far, the forbidden troops stationed nearby would catch up.

That's why Tang Chun'er and Tang Xia'er took great pains to set up such a game here.

The adjutant had already gone into the grove, and Tang Chun'er also lowered her head and followed, but instead of burrowing into the grove, she ran quickly around another path to a hidden mound and hid it.

Tang Qiu'er had already set up an organ in this area last night, and above the heads of the group of officers and soldiers, there were intricate branches, and Tang Qiu'er hung dozens of bags of fine lime powder of various sizes, supported by a small thin rope.

The end of the string is tied to a nail in the nest of the mound.

Now, as long as Tang Chun'er cuts the rope, Tang Qiu'er's mechanism will have a chain effect, and all the lime bags will fall together.

Tang Xia'er, who pretended to be burning the fire in the tea stall, actually kept her eyes on the side of the mound, and when she saw Tang Chun'er waving her hand on the side of the mound, she knew that Tang Chun'er was ready.

Tang Xia'er deliberately pushed the empty iron bucket on the stove, "Bang! The iron bucket fell to the ground, the voice was crisp, and the group of officers and soldiers couldn't help but look at Tang Xia'er's side.

I saw Tang Xia'er look panicked, pointed to the sky, and screamed: "It's Thor!" ”

Could it be that Thor really descended to earth?

All the officers and soldiers followed Tang Xia'er's guidance, and involuntarily looked up in unison, they wanted to see what Thor looked like, but what they saw was not a goblin, but a white piece of powder falling.

Like snow and dust, one after another.

The quicker soldier closed his eyes, and the slow reaction was tragic, although only a little lime fell into the eye, but this was enough to make the eyelids produce an innate natural reflection, and the eyes were closed tightly, and they couldn't open them even if they wanted to.

Deputy Lieutenant Chen picked up the saber beside him and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, draw the sword!" ”

The saber of Qi Brush came out, which was somewhat shocking and terrifying, but it was a pity that they were all a group of blind men with knives now, and no matter how powerful they were, they were also blind tossed, so Tang Xia'er was not afraid of them at all.

Besides, today is outwitting, and you can't do it with this group of stupid soldiers.

"Fire!" Tang Xia'er ordered.

I saw that the entourage of King Jing's Mansion disguised as a tea guest immediately escaped from under the table with a string of small bamboo tubes.

This is the "firecracker" developed by Tang Xiaoshi. A few days ago, she first used saltpeter, sulfur and black charcoal to make simple gunpowder, and then used these gunpowder to make "□□" and "firecrackers".

Several members of the Jingwang Mansion entourage lit strings of "bamboo firecrackers" and threw them into the convoy, and the group of officers and soldiers whose eyes were in the lime could not see what was thrown over, but only kept waving the steel knives in their hands.

A string of improvised firecrackers began to explode, because they were too small to injure the group of officers and soldiers, but the successive "crackling" sounds startled the horses, and the frightened horses, as if they had gone crazy, raised their front hooves and shook off the officers and soldiers who were pulling the reins.

A sturdy black horse, with its head back and neighing, was the first to drag a cart of grain forward, and then the other horses also raised their heads and neighed as if they had heard a command, and followed the black horse forward.

Some officers and soldiers held on to the reins and refused to let go, but they were dragged forward by their horses.

It turns out that between life and death, not only people will burst out with great strength, but even more so horses, they hear the continuous noise, and run so fast that they are completely unaware of the hundreds of pounds of grain that are being dragged behind them.

The group of officers and soldiers was also pitiful, Chu Chao didn't have such a thing as firecrackers, the successive explosions and the turmoil of the horses, they also became panicked, their minds were blank, some were lying on the ground holding their heads and shivering, some were brandishing sabers and slashing everywhere, and some of them were directly peeing their pants and softening on the ground......

They are now in a state of collapse.

The most pitiful thing was the adjutant who got into the grove, his pants were off, but he didn't wait for the beautiful tea lady...... Xu was in a hurry to drink tea just now, and his stomach was uncomfortable, and the adjutant let out several farts in succession, and then he heard a crackling explosion from the tea stall.

The lieutenant was pleasantly surprised, and thought to himself, "Hey, when did my fart become so powerful?" How can such a noise erupt?

While he was still thinking about it, a black pot smashed over.

……

……

The mighty horse team ran along the avenue with grain, and Tang Qiu'er had been waiting at the cliff bridge for a long time.

Under the cliff bridge is the Mi River, the river flows from west to east, just through the east gate of Chang'an City, where many displaced people who were blocked outside the city and were not allowed to enter, most of them migrated in the past two days, and did not receive the imperial grain issued by the imperial court.

More than 100 small boats, large and small, are ready to set off under the cliff bridge.

The frightened horses, each dragging hundreds of catties of grain behind them, ran before the cliff bridge, naturally they were tired, and the sound of the explosion was no longer audible, so their speed gradually slowed down.

Tang Qiu'er whistled, and a group of masked warriors immediately jumped out on both sides of the road, they were all the elite of Jingwangfu, jumped and fell onto the loaded grain cart, and then slashed it with a knife, the hemp rope was broken, and the bags of grain were pushed off the car by them and fell on the road.

The frightened horse pulled the empty car up the cliff bridge, kicked up the dust, and ran to Chang'an City, and the road was full of bags of grain. The grain was loaded onto the boats, each boat was filled with food, the samurai cut the ropes, and the rushing river immediately carried the boats downstream.

Watching the ships laden with grain swim eastward, Tang Qiu'er whistled again, and the group of warriors immediately burrowed into the dead grass on both sides of the road, and immediately disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

The whole process is only half a pillar of incense.

……

……

Outside the east gate of Chang'an City, the city is bustling with homeless people at the foot of the city.

Tang Dong'er dressed up as a homeless person, blending in with the homeless people, and her task today is to lead the homeless people to the river and intercept the grain when the boat passes here.

Tang Dong'er looked up at the sun, and calculated carefully, according to the plan, the three sisters should have already succeeded, and soon the grain will swim here, and it is time to do it.

She is a girl, if she directly tells the homeless people that there will be food floating by the river for a while, and there is no evidence, naturally no one will believe it, and the group of homeless people who have been hungry for a few days do not have the strength to run to the river to accompany her to toss blindly.

The homeless people don't believe what she said, but they will believe what the gods say, especially during this period of time in Chang'an City, it is rumored that the thunder god went down to earth, and the dragon lord went to sea.

Mr. said that as long as "the gods possess the body", what she said will naturally become what the gods say.
