In the dense forest on the side of the path below Zhongdao Peak, Luo Shangzhi, who had been waiting here with a thousand Ming crossbowmen who had been waiting in concealment, saw the signal sent by Shi Lang, and immediately led his team along the winding mountain road to Zhongdao Peak.

Shi Lang, Shi Tianji and other six people went down to the corner tower, gently opened the door under the corner tower, and waited for the 1,000 Ming soldiers led by Luo Shangzhi to enter the Longshan granary.

On the other side, Fang Shank led his men to the door of the No. 3 granary. A brocade guard who is good at picking locks easily pokes the lock open with the lock-picking tool he carries with him.

Fang Handle led his subordinates to rush into the granary, found the dozen or so bags of grain with markings, and then took out the oil drums inside.

For these dozen barrels of fuel, Jinyiwei had a division of labor in advance, and five barrels were used to burn the dormitories of the Japanese soldiers in the granary. The rest is used to burn the grain piles in the granary.

Fang Shant ordered the Jinyi Guard, who was good at picking locks, to lead ten Jinyi guards to burn the granary, and he himself led the remaining Jinyi guards to the dormitory of the Japanese people.

Fang Handle led his subordinates to the front of the Japanese soldiers' dormitory, and quietly poured five barrels of fuel oil on the wooden dormitory walls of the Japanese soldiers.

"Shanwei-kun, why do I smell the smell of fuel outside?" As soon as Fang Handle instructed his subordinates to lock the door of the last dormitory for Japanese soldiers from the outside, he suddenly heard the voice of a Japanese soldier in the dormitory.

"In the middle of the night, where does the smell of fuel come from. I think you're sleepy. The voice of another Japanese soldier could be heard from inside the house.

"It's the smell of fuel, my nose has always been very sensitive, I can't be wrong."

"Then get up and go out and see what's going on."

"Okay."

Although Fang Handle could not understand the Chinese language, the conversation in the room still surprised him, and he quickly made gestures to his subordinates, signaling everyone to quickly light the fire.

As the five brocade guards threw the fire sickles in their hands towards the dormitory of the Japanese soldiers who were poured with fuel, the scene suddenly burst into flames.

"Not good, someone set the fire. Everyone, hurry up! The exclamations of the Japanese soldiers were heard from inside the house.

The Japanese soldiers, who were still asleep, were awakened by the exclamations and the intense flames, and they rushed to the door of the house before they had time to put on their clothes, trying to open the door and escape. Helplessly, the door was locked, and it was difficult to get out for a while.

The smoke and flames had rushed into the room in the blink of an eye, and the naked soldiers of the Japanese State were burned and cried for their mothers.

Almost at the same time, smoke billowed from the south granary. The brocade guards have poured fuel oil on the grain pile and set it on fire.

In order to speed up the burning, Jinyiwei also opened all the windows and doors to let the mountain wind blow as close to the granary as possible.

In less than a few minutes, a huge fire in the granary had burned down the wooden roof of the granary, and the flames burst into the sky.

In the granary with the roof collapsed, the fire burned more and more with the help of the wind.

The Longshan granary at night is full of fire.

Groups of rats living in the granary scrambled to flee for their lives.

Jinyiwei, who was in charge of burning the granary, saw that the granary had been lit, and immediately pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his body and killed the Japanese army dormitory in the north.

Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and other six people, as well as Luo Shiyin and Abbot Xiuneng also rushed over.

In the dormitory of the Japanese army, the scorched Japanese soldiers broke out of the window one after another.

The brocade guard, who had been waiting outside, waved his weapon and killed the Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the window one by one.

As more and more Japanese soldiers jumped out of the window, more than two dozen brocade guards began to become coping

Difficult.

The nearly 800 Japanese soldiers stationed in the granary of Longshan were all carefully selected elite Japanese soldiers, and almost all of them were outlaws. The fire killed some of the Japanese soldiers, but some escaped.

In fact, from the moment the fire broke out, these Japanese soldiers already understood what was happening. Even if not everyone had weapons in their hands, the strong sense of duty to guard the granaries prompted them to rush to the enemy desperately.

"Lord Luo, we're here!"

With Luo Shangzhi's shout, a thousand Ming soldiers with quivers and big knives on their backs had already rushed into the granary courtyard.

"Okay, Lord Luo, it's just in time. Let's get rid of these naked ** guys first. Luo Shiyin said loudly to Luo Shangzhi, who led the team to rush to the front.

"Okay. Kill me, brethren! Luo Shangzhi shouted and swung his sword to kill the enemy.

With the addition of the 1,000 Ming soldiers led by Luo Shangzhi, the battle on the scene immediately showed a one-sided trend.

Due to burns, fright, lack of weapons, etc., the combat effectiveness of these Japanese soldiers who escaped from the fire had been greatly reduced, and coupled with the disadvantage in numbers, there was not much resistance.

Under the blazing firelight, the soldiers of the Ming army swung their knives and slashed down the dying and struggling Japanese soldiers to the ground one by one.

With the collapse of several burned dormitories of the Japanese army in front of him, the battle at the scene ended smoothly.

All the Japanese soldiers in the Longshan granary were killed except for those who were burned to death.

On the side of the Ming army and the Jinyi Guard, there were less than 50 dead and wounded.

"Haha, look at this fire burning them, one by one like charred dead pigs." Luo Shangzhi looked at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, and said jokingly.

"yes, the granary is burning out of shape." Luo Shiyin looked at the several granaries that were still on fire and said.

"But, brethren. This task of burning the Dragon Mountain Cang can only be regarded as just half completed. There are even more difficult tasks ahead of us. Come, close the door. Come up to the wall with me and get ready to fight! Luo Shangzhi said loudly to his soldiers.

According to the plan in advance, if you want to completely burn down a granary full of grain like the Longshan granary, even if you pour fuel oil on the grain bag, it will take at least half an hour.

The Longshan granary is less than ten kilometers away from Wangjing City. The fire here is together, and the Japanese army in the city will come to reinforce the fire in less than half an hour. Once they quickly extinguished the fire, it is estimated that it will be difficult to burn more than half of the grain in the granary. In that case, the purpose of burning the Dragon Mountain Warehouse cannot be considered to be fully achieved. Therefore, after discussing with Li Rusong, Luo Shiyin decided to send Luo Shangzhi to lead the army, and their tasks were, first, to help Jinyiwei solve the enemy in the granary; The second is to hold the Longshan granary, block the enemy's rescue route, and buy time for the fire.

The door of the granary was shut.

Luo Shangzhi led his men to climb the city wall, set up a formation, and prepare for battle.

The Ming soldiers were all selected archers, each of whom carried two quivers, each containing twenty poisoned arrows.

According to the division of labor in advance, for the next task of guarding the granary, Luo Shiyin was responsible for leading his subordinate Jinyi Guards to ascend the platform on the Zhongdao Peak, and using the torsion trebuchet placed by the Japanese people on the platform to attack the enemy who came to help from a long distance, and assisted Luo Shangzhi in guarding the Longshan granary.

The group of crossbowmen led by Luo Shangzhi were all the same

Under the leadership of Luo Shangzhi, they climbed the tall city wall on the west side of the Longshan granary, and used the concave and convex daughter wall at the top of the city wall as a cover, ready to block the enemy reinforcements.

Luo Shiyin led all the Jinyi guards on the scene, and after landing on the platform at the top of the Middle Road Peak, he divided all the personnel into two teams, each pair was responsible for the control of a torsion trebuchet.

The torsion trebuchet is actually designed using the principle of levers, on a large wooden frame, there is a catapult rod, one end of the catapult rod is loaded with a weight, and the other end is a spoon-shaped container.

Before launching, one end of the spoon-shaped container must be pulled down by a rope by manpower, and the other end with a heavy object rises at this time, and after the stone is placed in the spoon-shaped container, the rope is released to let the end with the heavy object fall, and the stone projectile is thrown out of the situation.

Since loading stone bullets is a physically demanding task, a few able-bodied men from both teams were selected to take charge of the work. Both Shi Tianji and Shi Lang offered to be responsible for the reloading.

Less than ten minutes after everyone had made all the preparations, a long row of dense torches appeared on the path below the west side of Zhongdao Peak. Under the light and shadow of the torches, the sword light flickered, and the shouts shook the sky. Reinforcements from the Japanese arrived.

The arrival of the Japanese took less than half an hour, a little faster than predicted.

"Prepare for battle!"

Luo Shangzhi shouted orders to the Ming soldiers who were waiting on the city wall.

The soldiers bent their bows and arrows and aimed at the mountain road below.

"Your grandma's! This time, let's give you a taste of the power of flying stones! Shi Tianji stood in front of the stone mill, ready to load the stone bullet.

"As soon as the Japanese people reached the bottom of the mountain, we fired stone bullets. The range of the crossbowmen under Lord Luo below can't reach there. We are responsible for long-range strikes, they are responsible for shooting at close range. Luo Shiyin commanded his subordinates.

"Lao Shi, when the time comes, let's compete to see whose trebuchet can hit far, hit accurately, and throw fast. Do you dare? The handle in charge of another trebuchet challenged Shi Tianji.

"No problem. I don't have any other ability, but I have a lot of strength. Brothers, they can give me a letter of war, and when the time comes, I will give you full spirits, and I promise to load you with stone bullets as quickly as possible. Shi Tianji said confidently.

The shouts of the Japanese soldiers could be heard clearly from the bottom of the mountain, and they were already within range of the trebuchet.

"Launch!" Luo Shiyin let out a loud shout and gave an order.

"Whew, whew, whew......" With a loud whistling sound across the night sky, huge stone bullets flew up from the middle peak. The stone bullets drew a graceful arc and smashed at the Japanese soldiers who had just reached the bottom of the peak.

In addition to the huge stone projectiles that can directly hit the enemy, the huge impact force between them and the rocks on the ground will also cause them to explode immediately, and then disperse into countless pieces of rubble and bounce and shoot around, forming a huge killing surface.

With a scream, the Japanese soldiers were hit or hit by stones and rubble.

"I didn't expect that this thing, which I had already eliminated in the Ming Dynasty, had such great power." Seeing that a large number of enemies under the mountain were killed and injured by the boulder, Luo Shangzhi couldn't help but praise the torsion trebuchet.

"Hurry, hurry! Didn't you eat enough at night, this little bit of strength is like a! On the summit platform, Shi Tianji shook off his powerful arms, and kept putting the boulders into the spoon-like container on the ejection rod that was pulled down by Jinyiwei, and kept urging his accomplices to speed up.
