Chapter 167: Burning the Longshan Cang (6)

The Jinyi Guard, who had been trained for many years, did not let go of any clues, prompting Shi Lang to turn back, and then lightly approached the small wooden door.

Shi Lang put his ear on the wooden door, and there was a cool and fresh wind blowing out of the crack of the door, and the sound of the mountain wind whistling from the wooden door could be clearly heard. Shi Lang judged from this that the inside should be a space that connects with the outside. Such a space should not be inhabited. Shi Lang gently pulled the door open.

What flashed in front of Shi Lang's eyes was an upward stone staircase.

It is a spiral-shaped upward stone staircase.

Shi Lang walked lightly into the door and walked up the stairs.

After about two or three roundabouts, Shi Lang reached the top of the stone steps.

Climbing to the top of the stone steps, Shi Lang's eyes suddenly brightened. In front of you, you will find a large square platform.

The platform faces west, and below the edge of the west side is the Yongsan granary.

The entire platform and the vertical mountain behind it form an "L" shape.

The platform was empty.

Shi Lang raised his feet and walked towards the center of the platform, his eyes immediately attracted by the two behemoths placed side by side on the platform.

Shi Lang stepped forward.

These are two huge torsion stone throwers. Two stone throwers are facing the granary under the platform ahead.

The platform was clearly also excavated by hand.

Under the stone wall behind the platform, there are two large piles of stones diagonally, which should be deliberately left when the platform was dug manually.

Shi Lang walked to the western edge of the platform and looked down. The Yongsan granary below has an unobstructed view.

Judging from the height of the platform and the length of the throwing arm of the torsion stone thrower, these two torque stone throwers should be used by the Japanese people to guard the Longshan granary.

Once the Longshan granary faces the invasion of foreign enemies, two stone throwers can throw the huge stones behind them horizontally to the mountain road outside the gate of the Longshan granary, and the future enemy will be blocked on the stone steps of climbing Zhongdao Peak.

Thanks to this reconnaissance operation, otherwise, if our Ming army sent troops to storm the Longshan granary, it would definitely suffer the tragic damage of these two torsion trebuchets!

Shi Lang looked at the entire platform in front of him, and looked at the two torsion trebuchets with powerful lethality placed in front of him, and couldn't help but gasp in his heart.

Shi Lang followed the same path and returned to the cave hall below.

On the west side of the cave hall, a large stone gate can be clearly seen, which should be the exit from the cave hall to the granary below.

Shi Lang walked quickly to the stone gate, and by the faint moonlight, the scene outside the stone gate was almost unobstructed.

The Longshan granary is located on the slope of the hill with a low slope in the east and low in the west. From the stone gate, you can clearly see the tall city wall at the westernmost point of the granary, and the two tall wooden corner towers. In the corner tower, there are three Japanese soldiers armed with swords and guns in each of them, who are vigilantly watching the wind and grass inside and outside the granary.

Five or six steps away from the right side of the stone gate, there is a wooden hut, its existence blocking the view of the Japanese soldiers on duty in the corner tower to observe the stone gate.

Shi Lang quickly flashed to the back of the cabin, and then, through the small window on the east side of the cabin, listened to the movement inside.

There should be no one living in it.

Shi Lang walked around the gable of the wooden house and came to the door of the wooden house, facing west. The door was hidden, and Shi Lang once again asked if there was anyone in the wooden house. After confirming that there was no one, he gently moved the door open and dodged into the house.

Farm tools such as grain sieves, grain rakes, dustpans, shovels, hoes, and wooden wheels and carts are disorderly placed in the house. It seems that this is a house stacked with agricultural machinery. There was an unpleasant musty smell throughout the room.

In front of the wooden houses, from east to west, there are six rows of relatively large wooden houses.

Shi Lang walked out of the cabin, then lowered his body and came to the nearest larger room

Outside the window of the house.

The window is not too high, and the lower edge of the window is just to Shi Lang's chin. The wooden window lattices are covered with paper, which has been torn due to wind and rain. A loud snoring came from inside the house.

Shi Lang took out the short dagger he carried with him and picked out a small hole in the window paper.

Through the paper hole, Shi Lang found that there were several long bunks in the house, and on top of the bunks, there was a snoring Japanese man lying horizontally. Needless to say, this should be the dormitory of the Japanese soldiers.

Shi Lang used this method again and successively detectiveed the remaining five rows of wooden houses in the west.

As expected, the six rows of wooden houses that the detective had explored were all full of snoring Japanese soldiers.

Shi Lang roughly estimated that there should be no less than seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers sleeping in wooden houses.

"This kind of wooden house is very conducive to fire attack, and as long as the door is locked and the house is set on fire, it is estimated that these seven or eight hundred Japanese people will be killed and injured if not all of them are burned to death. Their resistance will be greatly reduced. Shi Lang thought to himself.

After scouting the six rows of large wooden houses, Shi Lang bowed and ran towards the rows of unscouted stone houses to the south.

The cool breeze of the night blew from the mountains and forests in the distance, blowing the two large horse lanterns on the west corner tower of the granary.

From the direction of Ghost Valley not far away, the howl of a wild wolf could be heard clearly.

Shi Lang brocade walks at night, avoiding places where the light of the horse lamp can shine, and trying to make his figure hide in the shadow of the house or in the grass.

The several large stone houses in front of him should be the place where the grain is stored, and Shi Lang trusts his own judgment.

Sure enough, after Shi Lang pried open the windows of the six numbered houses and climbed in to investigate, he found that they were all full of grain bags.

Shi Lang used the thorn cone he carried with him to randomly take out the grain in the grain bags in several houses and check it. Except for one room where corn was piled up, the rest of the houses were full of fresh rice.

Shi Lang roughly estimated that this was full of grain in six houses, not to mention nearly 200,000 stones.

"It's not easy to burn so much food completely." Shi Lang thought to himself.

When Shi Lang finished scouting the last house where grain was stored and was about to climb out of the window, a small episode appeared.

At that time, Shi Lang's hands had just grabbed the edge of the window and was about to climb out, when suddenly, he felt darkness in front of him, and saw a fat mouse had jumped from the window onto the windowsill.

Shi Lang, who was already highly nervous, was cleverly attacked by this big rat.

When the mouse saw Shi Lang in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and jumped out of the window and disappeared into Shi Lang's field of vision.

It seems that the granary of the Japanese people has fattened a lot of rats.

Shi Lang sighed as he jumped out of the window and hid his figure in the grass under the window.

"Yamamoto, you kid hurry up! This damn weather, freeze me to death! ”

Shi Lang just wanted to get up, and suddenly heard the voice of a Japanese man not far in front of him.

Shi Lang followed the prestige and saw that in the grass about seven or eight meters away from him, a standing Japanese man wearing loose pajamas was saying something to the grass behind him.

"Qiao Shanjun, if you go back to the house to sleep first, I will have a cold stomach at night, and I will have to squat for a while." In the grass behind the standing Wa man, the voice of another Wa man was heard.

Although Shi Lang couldn't understand what the two Japanese were saying, he could smell a thick stench of feces coming from where the Japanese man was squatting in the grass.

These are two Japanese soldiers who get up at night to defecate, Shi Lang thought to himself.

"You kid, it's really unproductive, didn't you eat too much for dinner. Then I'll go back to the house first. The standing Wa man said impatiently, then turned and walked towards the dormitory to the north.

"Who told you kid to compare with me

Try who eats more rice. I've never won against you, and this time I'm going to die, and I can't lose to you again. But who knows, if you win the competition, you will break your stomach. Another Japanese said.

"Then you can squat patiently." The man who had gone away said loudly.

"Don't intervene in the door, I'm done pulling, I'll be back soon."

"Don't worry, I'll leave the door for you."

Shi Lang thought that the Japanese soldier would get up and leave soon after pooping, but he thought about it, but he squatted leisurely in place and sang a small song:

"My doll is a good doll,

With bright eyes and snow-white skin,

The round face is like a sweeping lady swaying in the wind.

My doll is a good doll,

Even if it is decapitated,

The clear eyes still reflect the blue sky.

My doll is a good doll,

Little mouse, mischievous,

Even if you ignore her,

She still tilted her head.

My doll is a good doll,

Playing alone in the house,

No matter how much Dad told him, he couldn't wake up.

My doll is a good doll. ”

Shi Lang had no choice but to hide his body in the grass, enduring the unpleasant stench, hoping that the Japanese man squatting in the grass would finish it quickly.

Just as Shi Lang was waiting for the Japanese to leave, he suddenly heard a small voice coming from behind him. Shi Lang turned his head to look and saw that the fat mouse had come to the window again, and behind it, there were five little mice. Six rats were sneakily preparing to climb up the windowsill.

Shi Lang was worried that the rats pulling out the window would make a noise that would alarm the Japanese people, so he quickly grabbed a handful of loose soil from the grass and sprinkled it on the group of rats.

The rats were frightened and quickly fled into the grass under the leadership of the fat rats.

After a while, the fat rat with five little mice once again probed his head to the windowsill of the granary.

Shi Lang once again grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it at the rats.

Once again, the rats fled into the grass.

Shi Lang was worried that the rats would come running, so he retreated under the windowsill and leaned his whole body against the wall under the windowsill, breaking the idea that the rats wanted to climb up the windowsill.

The rat colony did not reappear.

After waiting for a long time, the Japanese man finally got up from the grass, fastened his belt, and prepared to walk towards the dormitory, but as soon as he took a step, he seemed to be stepping on something, and exclaimed: "Ah, there are rats! ”

Shi Lang couldn't understand why the other party exclaimed, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly hid his figure in the grass.

"What's wrong? Qiaoshan-kun. The exclamation of the Japanese soldier alarmed the soldiers on duty on the corner tower, and one of them asked in a loud voice.

"I guessed the rat's tail, it bit me." The Japanese soldier known as Qiaoshanjun replied loudly.

"You coward. A mouse, what are you afraid of? Hurry back to the house and sleep, don't disturb everyone. ”

"Okay, I'll go back to the house. Why is it so unlucky? The rat-bitten Japanese soldier limped towards the dormitory.

Waiting for the Japanese soldier to enter the dormitory, Shi Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the cover of the grass, Shi Lang returned to the cave hall.

Shi Lang stood in front of the cave where he could descend to the surface of the Han River, looking down. At night, the Han River flows quietly southward.

"It's not good, it's really a wise man's thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake!" Just as Shi Lang put his head out of the cave and looked down, he suddenly found in his mind that in all the preparations for this operation, he had neglected a very important link, and if there was a mistake in this link, it was very likely that the Japanese people would find that someone had climbed the Middle Road Peak from the cave, which would greatly reduce the actual effect of this reconnaissance operation.
