Chapter 108: The fiery red talisman

Approaching Yinzheng (4 a.m.)

White Snake Valley, Juyi Hall

After a night of drinking, the big boss She Gui was already drunk and irrational, he drunkenly hugged a good-looking woman, and chattered with a mouthful of wine.

And the white snake, known as the spirit snake, may have been disgusted with the smell of wine on She Gui's body, and coiled around his arm and crawled towards the woman in She Gui's arms.

The woman is just an ordinary woman, before being snatched up the mountain by She Gui, the concubine who was carried up by a maid of a small landlord's family, she had little knowledge, and when she saw a snake crawling towards her, she was so frightened that her scalp was about to explode, and she wanted to hide, but she didn't dare.

So, the woman could only watch in despair as the white snake walked up and down her right arm, the pair of cold and gloomy vertical pupils and the hissing sound of the white snake's tongue sticking out made the blood in her whole body begin to coagulate.

The strange movement of the woman and the white snake in his arms, She Gui didn't notice, he opened his tongue widely, picked up the wine glass, and beckoned the leaders of the White Snake Valley in the hall to drink.

The leaders below also gave him the face of the big boss, and they raised their glasses one after another, even if a few of them drank and vomited, they also forced a few sips.

For the New Year, if you make the big boss unhappy, don't think about having a peaceful birthday next year.........

…………

The Gathering Hall was changing the lamp, and the raid team led by Chen Xingxiao also quietly came to the vicinity of the cottage granary under the cover of the cottage dark network.

According to Jin San's intelligence and the exploration of the dark web, there are two granaries in the White Snake Valley Cottage, in order to completely burn all the grain stored in the White Snake Valley, and not give She Gui any chance to remedy.

Chen Xingxiao decided to divide the raid team into two parts, one led by him to raid the remote northern granary, and the other was close to his current position in the southeast granary, and Guangshan led the people to raid.

The two sides each attacked a granary, and it was necessary to burn all the grain stored in the White Snake Valley as soon as possible before the White Snake Valley reacted.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xingxiao's decision was strongly opposed by the monk Guangshan.

Don't get me wrong, Guangshan is not against the plan of dividing the troops into two routes, but against Chen Xingxiao leading the team to raid Beicang, which is farther away.

In terms of terrain, Beicang is at the other end of the White Snake Valley cottage, far away from their original established retreat route, and very close to the reinforcements.

Even if the granary is burned, the raid on the North Warehouse is likely to be surrounded by reinforcements who rushed to hear the news, and compared to it, the South Warehouse Raid Team, which is closer to the retreat route, has a high chance of retreating calmly after the grain burning task is completed.

It can be said that, to a certain extent, this Beicang raid team is very likely to become a real team of dead soldiers, burning food with their lives, and dying for life.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xingxiao took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the team to raid Beicang, which can be said to be putting life and death out of the way, but Guangshan felt that Chen Xingxiao was the main general of the raid team and could not afford to lose, so he, the deputy general, was more suitable to lead the team to raid Beicang.

What's more, if the Beicang raid team and the bandits who came to help had a fight, with Guangshan's force value, it was obviously higher than Chen Xingxiao, who had mediocre martial arts, to break through the siege.

…………

It doesn't matter if Monk Guangshan is acting with good intentions or if he is genuinely considering the plan for this raid.

Undoubtedly, this suggestion he put forward is obviously right, the situation is urgent, Chen Xingxiao did not make a twisted attitude, and the burning of grain is the most important thing at the moment.

If the plan to burn grain is unsuccessful, it is useless for their raid team to go back without dropping!

The plan to burn grain was successful, and all of them stayed here, and they deserved to die!

Without much hesitation, Chen Xingxiao patted Monk Guangshan on the shoulder, and the two quickly began to divide their troops.

The raid team that had followed the two of them to raid before was about 120 people, but after climbing over the 20-foot cliff, the raid team now only had more than 90 people.

A steep cliff with nearly a quarter of the raiders' attrition.........

But there is no way, the 20-zhang cliff is almost as high as a 20-story building, and without measures to ensure safety, relying on climbing claws and ropes, climb the cliff of this height with bare hands.

The old hunters who have been crisscrossing the mountains for decades dare not say that they are foolproof, let alone the raid team that has climbed for the first time.

That is, the people of this raid team are all the elites carefully selected by Yan Kui, and then there are green forest masters sent by Jin San who have climbed the cliff several times before as guides to guide the way, relying on the previous successful experience, only less than thirty people were lost.

If the raiders were to figure it out on their own, twice as many people would not necessarily be able to reach their destination.

However, although a lot of manpower has been lost, fortunately, there are dark web personnel arranged by Yan Kui before in the White Snake Valley to supplement it.

The group of dark turbans in the White Snake Valley, mainly composed of Liangshan bandits, is not weak in combat effectiveness in terms of the surprise attack of small forces, and the group of Yellow Turban elite soldiers under Chen Xingxiao who are dressed in the elite skin of the new army may even be stronger.

……………

The only pity is that most of the three hundred fine works arranged by Yan Kui before went to the first line of heaven to lurk, and a very small number of them were scattered among the small groups of bandits, and those who mixed into the White Snake Valley were almost less than eighty.

Leave aside the White Lotus Sect members who are not good at fighting, as well as some fine works who are involved in things and don't have a chance to come over.

At present, there are about forty dark web personnel who can be incorporated into the two commandos, which makes up for the loss of the cliff of the previous raid team, and then slightly exceeds, which can be regarded as adding a little more confidence to Chen Xingxiao and Guangshan.

Having said so much, but in fact, the soldiers are very fast, and the division of troops by Chen and Guang adds up to half a stick of incense, and after the division of troops, the two of them are under the guidance of the dark web, and quickly go to their target granary.

According to the distance of the two granaries, Chen Xingxiao's team obviously arrived at the granary in the south of the White Snake Valley faster.

There is nothing to touch the sentry posts, and the outposts on the periphery have been completely cleaned up by the dark web.

I have to say that Yan Kui's choice to send people to raid the White Snake Valley granary on Chinese New Year's Eve is really too wise.

The sentry posts and patrols along the way were almost unguarded, and the dark web took out all the sentinels without much effort, and did not even alarm the guards in the granary.

Originally, Chen Xingxiao thought that the people on the dark web were doing a beautiful job, but when he led people to the granary, he found that there were only six or seven granary guards at the door, and the rest of them all stayed in the room next to them to drink and sleep.

Dark Web, Yan Kui, Xu Yu, including Chen Xingxiao, all overestimated the quality of the soldiers of the bandits in the White Snake Valley, and they also wanted to be blind, and they would think that this group of rabble was loyally guarding the granary in the Chinese New Year's Eve and conscientiously guarding the granary.........

After Chen Xingxiao killed the six or seven guards who were confused at the door, and led the raid team into the room where most of the granary guards were waiting.

What he saw was a group of minions slumped on the table, sleeping on the floor, and some who were too drunk, and the raider's knives were all around his neck, and he felt that his companions were joking with him again, yelling for the raiders to put their knives down and not make a fuss.

Chen Xingxiao looked at everything in front of him, and suddenly felt that his previous careful preparations were a little ridiculous, but he immediately reacted and gave two orders to his subordinates.

One kills, the other sets fire.

…………

The winter is dry, and the burning in the granary is also extraordinarily happy, and in less than two hundred breaths, half of the south warehouse is lit with a raging fire, which smears the entire White Snake Valley cottage with a bit of red.

Chen Xingxiao ignored those and beckoned his commandos to continue to throw the torches to the place where the granary did not burn, and be sure not to miss anything.

After half a pillar of incense, Nancang was completely engulfed by flames, and the nearby bandits finally rushed here to support.

At this time, the bandits in the White Snake Valley did not know that the fire in Nancang was artificial, and who would have thought that the official army would send people to sneak attack from the cliff on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Many people think that Nancang is on fire because tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve cottage is holding a large candle flame, causing Nancang to accidentally go to the water, so many bandits who came to help Nancang did not come to the so-called siege and killing of officers and soldiers, but came to fight the fire.

And here, Chen Xingxiao saw that Nancang was burned down, and at the same time, he remembered Guangshan who went to raid Beicang, and his mind turned, and he was not in a hurry to lead people to retreat while the chaos was in chaos, but instead commanded his raid team to attack and kill the bandits who came to fight the fire.

He wants to create a movement to attract the attention of the bandits and create an opportunity for Guangshan to raid Kitakura............

Chen Xingxiao's plan was naturally unknown to the Guangshan monk in Beicang, who was leading the team at great speed, but it did not prevent him from seeing the bursts of fire rising in the south.

Chen Xingxiao has succeeded!

Monk Guangshan's heart was first happy, and then full of eagerness, Nancang was on fire, and the bandits of the White Snake Valley must react, and their side must speed up.

"Hurry, hurry, faster."

The monk couldn't hide what he was thinking, he said whatever he wanted, he was in a hurry, and he urged his subordinates to hurry quickly.

In fact, Monk Xiao Guangshan said that when his raiding team saw the fire in the direction of Nancang, they naturally knew what was going on, and the speed under their feet naturally increased by three points.

Seeing that, Beicang was in front of him............

…………

White Snake Valley, Juyi Hall

When the minions below reported the news of Nancang's fire with panicked faces, She Gui, who was originally dizzy, was so frightened that he woke up most of the time.

Throwing the bowl aside in his hand, he stared at the messenger with bloodshot eyes.

"What's going on, how could Nancang catch fire?"

At this time, the latest news that Chen Xingxiao and others attacked and killed the bandits who went to fight the fire had not yet come, and the bandits and others thought that Nancang had accidentally walked into the water.

Well, that's how he reported it to She Gui.

She Gui, who was still a little drunk in his head, was now distraught by the news of the fire in Nancang, and he didn't have the heart to calm down and think, and he listened to how he reported the news.

After listening, She Guiqiang endured his headache, summoned the bandits near the Juyi Hall, and led everyone to Nancang to put out the fire.

She Gui and his entourage walked halfway, and the news that Nancang was artificially burned by Chen Xingxiao was finally handed to She Gui, and She Da was shocked and puzzled by this official army that came out of nowhere, but also finally reacted.

North Warehouse!

At present, the most important thing for me to do is not to go to Nancang to put out the fire or lead people to exterminate this arsonist army, but to ensure the safety of the last granary of the cottage in Beicang.

Thinking of this, She Gui broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't care about the physical discomfort caused by the hangover, so he beckoned his subordinates to turn around and go to Beicang.

But, it's too late............

Before She Gui and his party turned around and left, She Gui saw that the direction of the cottage Beicang suddenly ignited a fire like Nancang, at first the fire was still very small, but as time passed, the fire in the direction of Beicang became bigger and bigger, and it didn't take long for it to catch up with Nancang.

The two fires are in the south and north of the White Snake Valley cottage, reflecting each other, and it is very good-looking.

However, these two brilliant fires were like two fiery red talismans in She Gui's eyes............
