Chapter 486: Burning the Barnhouse
Fu Yunzhang waited for everyone to rest for a while, ate some wild fruits, drank some water, and immediately took everyone on the road. Walking in the valley, Fu Yunzhang looked at the hour, and saw that this moment was a little more than the middle of the unitary hour, so he planned to walk along the valley for a while to see where he could go.
So, he discussed it with Wu Dingyuan, and Wu Dingyuan also agreed to investigate. The main reason is that the opportunity is rare, and it is easy to find the clues of the other party, and it is really unwilling not to figure it out.
So the group quickened their march and hurried east down the valley. They had walked about thirty miles before they reached the end of the valley. This valley is partly natural and partly artificially widened and is very flat. If it weren't for the fact that they had come here by accident, no one would have thought that there would be such a valley in the depths of the mountains. This valley was not only used to transport convoys of weapons, but also may have been a training site.
This realization made Fu Yunzhang and Wu Dingyuan extremely alert, and when they approached the end of the valley, they paid attention to hiding their figures, leaned into the woods on the north side of the valley, and quietly leaned up with the help of the cover of the trees.
At the end of the valley, there is a dense wooded passage that leads to a carriage in guò, which seems to have been opened later. They found nothing in the dense forest, and continued to make their way north. After walking for about an hour, I found a small river with a water surface of about twenty or thirty acres, completely cutting off the woods and the passage opposite.
There are cliffs on both sides of this small river on the east and west, and if you go to the opposite side, you can only wade across the river. However, not to mention that there are no boats, even if there are boats, they will be spotted by the other side as soon as they get out of the water.
Fu Yunzhang led people to hide in the reeds by the river, raising his eyes to check the environment around the river.
In addition to the tall and stout trees growing on the north and south banks of this small river, there are also dense reeds and various aquatic plants on the bank. Fu Yunzhang was sure that if the opposite bank was a hidden place for the people behind the scenes, there must be an ambush in the woods on the opposite bank, and the number of people would definitely be indispensable.
There are too few people to bring by yourself, so it is not appropriate to fight hard. At present, we can only send a few people to the other side of the strait to find out the situation, and it is not too late to go back and report the news when the situation is clarified. The people he brought with him were all good in water. This is one of the most basic skills as a secret guard of the Fu family. But how do you get there? He glanced at the reeds on both sides of the river, and his heart couldn't help but move. Yes, you can lurk underwater with the help of reed poles, in the river in the dark. No one will notice. Yes, that's it.
So, he said to Wu Dingyuan beside him in a low voice: "Old Wu, I'll take the four of you to swim across the river later, and you wait here." No matter what happens. Don't take it lightly and expose your position. ”
Wu Dingyuan knew that he really couldn't help him at the moment, so he had to nod: "Okay, Master Fu, you should be more careful!" ”
Fu Yunzhang nodded, glanced around and began to nod: "Fu Min, Fu Chun, Fu Qiang, Fu Yong come with me, Fu Gang stays here, remember, if there is an abnormal situation, you must protect Deputy General Wu." “
"Yes!" Fu Gang replied solemnly.
Fu Yunzhang took out the only five grenades from his arms and kept one for himself. The rest was divided among the other four, and they carefully explained how to use the grenade. Then, each person carefully wrapped the grenade in oiled paper and put it in their arms. Each of them folded a thick and slightly long reed pole and carefully pinched it in his hand.
Fu Yunzhang looked at the hour, it was a little more than the beginning of the morning, although the people on the other side of the river were the most vigilant moment, but if they didn't go into the water at this time, they would wait until the dead of night to go into the water, and there would be no time to explore back and forth. So he decided to get into the water immediately. Swim across the river.
Fu Yunzhang waved his hand and led the group to jump towards the cliff to the east. When approaching the cliff, Fu Yunzhang quietly observed the movements around and saw that there was nothing abnormal. So he quietly got into the water with the four of them and swam all the way north. It's the height of summer, and the river is still warm after a day of sunbathing, so it's quite comfortable to feel underwater. They swam silently all the way north. Despite the reed poles, they had to carefully show their heads from time to time to change their breath.
An hour later. Fu Yunzhang and the other five went to the north shore and quietly hid in the reeds on the shore.
At this moment, the moon has quietly risen, shedding a clear glow. Fu Yunzhang glanced at the dense jungle on the shore by the moonlight, and by the bright moonlight, he saw that this should be a relatively wide valley. If this is the hiding place of the people behind the scenes, then there must be an ambush, so there is no rash action.
After waiting for a while, Fu Yunzhang just wanted to break off a section of reeds to test where there was an ambush, when he heard a slight footstep not far away, so he quickly hid his body and listened with bated breath.
I saw a few figures gradually coming from the woods in the moonlight, and before they could speak when they reached the shore, a few figures jumped down from the trees silently, and the person asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?" ”
One of the men who came down from the tree whispered, "It's all right. So saying, they went into the woods.
Only then did Fu Yunzhang understand that the two sides were changing guards, and he also took the opportunity to see the location of the other party's ambush. Looking at this hour, it should be the two sides changing the guard to eat and change shifts. So, taking advantage of the slack now, he made a gesture to the other four and took the lead and quietly went ashore.
When they came ashore, they silently moved forward under the cover of the trees. Thankfully, they didn't run into anyone. The five of them walked silently through the woods for about half an hour when they found rows of tall wooden houses in front of them.
Fu Yunzhang crouched in the grass and looked up, and saw that the dozens of tall and spacious houses in front of him looked like warehouses from the building. The distance between each house is not large, which may have something to do with the limited open space in the valley.
At this moment, there were dozens of figures moving around the warehouse, holding swords in their hands, scanning the surroundings with fierce eyes, and everywhere they looked, they did not let go of any clues.
Fu Yunzhang didn't want to delay time, knowing that this might be the other party's warehouse, and it was either weapons or food, so he made up his mind to destroy it. Fortunately, the distance between each warehouse is not far away, and it is a wooden building, if one of them catches fire, then it will inevitably spread into a fire. They will be able to take advantage of the chaos and retreat the way they came.
He visually measured the distance, and there were only more than fifty meters between their lurking position and the warehouse, and if they could reach the center of the warehouse with their strength, they could just achieve the effect of flowering in the center.
So, Fu Yunzhang made a gesture to his subordinates in the woods, and took out a grenade wrapped in oilpaper from his arms. Seeing this, the other four also pulled out grenades. In a silent tacit understanding, the five people suddenly jumped up, pulled the fuse, and threw it at the warehouse in five directions, followed by an earth-shattering explosion. (To be continued.) )
