Chapter 497: Wandering Crime (6)

Bailiyan has quickly come to the river with his own people and horses at this time, as expected, there are ruts and hoof prints left by the chariots and horses along the way, and when they arrive at the river, a repaired secret passage is hidden at the edge of the forest, and the shouts in the distance are endless, most of them are calling for fire or something.

When I was young, the old scout came to report:

"General, it is indeed a place to store grain, and the defenders can't see how many people there are, but many, many have gone to the southwest to wait for the fire!" The scout elaborated.

"Are there carriages and horses in there?"

"Yes, there are quite a few, and the stops are messy."

Bai Liyan thought for a moment, and then said to the scout:

"Can you bring someone inside?"

"There is a sentry on the front, which is difficult to touch, so you can only go ashore in the water." Scout said.

"Okay, take twenty old soldiers out into the water, sneak into the west side of the granary with a fire sickle, light a few piles of grain for me, and then withdraw into the water. Remember, if you don't succeed, get into the river and escape immediately, and save your life. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

The secret passage into the granary is blocked by the Jinxuedi people, and there are towers around it, and a frontal breakthrough is bound to provoke them to swarm and the gains outweigh the losses.

The old man led the people into the granary, and set fire to several piles of grain, and the fire burned fiercely more fiercely than the burning of the woods. Dried grains are undoubtedly the best combustibles, and as long as there is a little spark, there are no particles left to burn.

When he was young, Jin Xuedi shouted in terror:

"It's a fire, it's a grain hoard......"

"Fight the fire, put out the fire......"

There are countless firefighters, but the speed of the fire is far from being extinguished by manpower, the hot air flow formed by the fire in the outer forest has formed a negative pressure area in the fire-free area of the granary, and the air by the river quickly replenishes this negative pressure area, and now the fire in the negative pressure area is deflagrating, and its burning speed is far greater than that of the peripheral fire, and the wind is stronger.

In just a moment, the fire in the grain area spread rapidly, and the firefighters were in an endless stream, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the burned grain hoard collapsed, and the firefighters could not avoid it, and were engulfed by the fire in a blink of an eye. The screams and wails were heard one after another, and the tragic situation was incomparable.

Fueled by the wind, the grain hoards overturned and the flames raged, and more grain hoards ignited fires, quickly cutting off the retreat of the defenders.

Waiting patiently for half an hour, seeing that the defenders were in chaos, Baili Yan and Tian Peng said:

"Tian Peng, take the brothers to the northwest to stock up on grain, but anyone who stands in the way will be killed!"

"Didn't you say that there were thousands of people, and such a fire rushed in, aren't we looking for death?" Tian Peng said very realistically, but he just didn't think about it in detail.

Bai Liyan said patiently:

"The fire has already killed many of them, and has also burned off their retreat, and there are not many defenders left on the east side, and now most of them are going to fight the fire, and they have no time to care about us robbing food. Even if there is, there is no need to worry. ”

"Well, I'll take the brothers in and copy them!"

Explain clearly to Tian Peng, Bailiyan led the old soldiers to sweep behind him. When Tian Peng entered the granary, almost as expected, all the defenders were like headless flies, fleeing for their lives, and fighting fires, they were already completely mired in the fire and had no time to take care of it.

At this moment, Bai Liyan is even thinking, what a sin this is, but war is like this, unscrupulous means to kill the enemy and save oneself is the fundamental means of war, if you blindly rely on frontal fighting, how can the weak win and win the strong, this is the fundamental meaning of the art of war strategy.

The journey into the granary was very smooth, and there was no resistance even to rush the grain, and the smell of wine in the air was refreshing, it was the fruit wine of the Jin Xuedi people.

There are many varieties of fruit wine made by the Jinxuedi people, and they also make wine, but the taste is unsatisfactory, it is still very primitive, the degree is very low, and it cannot be burned in the fire, but if the water is evaporated and volatilized into alcohol gas, it is difficult to say.

When I opened the warehouse, I found that in addition to grain, there was actually a lot of cloth, salt, jerky, and even a large number of strategically reserved honey and nuts.

Honey and nuts can be used as strategic material reserves, which is rare in the history of agricultural civilization, Bailiyan knows that the Jinxuedi people feed the mammoths with honey, but never thought that the Jinxuedi people will be used as a strategic material to reserve.

Different from the elephants in the memory of the previous life, the mammoth raised by the Jinxuedi people has a very mixed diet, usually takes green leafy plants and fruits as the main food, and even eats vegetable oils, and the plants are withered and yellow in winter, and can eat hay, in addition, the Jinxuedi people will also feed the mammoth a large number of nuts and honey, so the Jinxuedi people have a large number of nuts inside and outside the Guan, and keep bees.

The Jinxuedi people sent hundreds of mammoths to the front line of Qianyue Mountain, the number may seem small, but the amount of food is quite staggering, especially in winter, nuts and honey undoubtedly provide a lot of energy and fat, and hay can alleviate hunger.

Just like the evil Jiangyang thieves, Bai Liyan and his accomplices will take grain, grass, salt, meat, even honey, nuts, and cloth, and take whatever they lack, and they will not be stingy.

All supplies were loaded with unicorns and horses, and all vehicles were abandoned, and the vehicles had to go on the road, which at this time was obviously a redundant burden, and was not conducive to walking in the mountains with poor road conditions.

Soon after the fire expanded in the second half of the night, the mob from the east was overwhelmed by the fire, thinking that the city of Qamis had been breached, but when they got closer, they found that it was a forest fire.

Bai Liyan walked away with a full load of men and horses, and when he turned back to Sili Land, he faintly found that the mob was facing his back to the blocked road in disappointment, and he could even think that if these goods were discovered by these live bandits, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Liyan looked at the sky, it was almost dusk, and then said to Tian Peng:

"Tian Peng, you lead two hundred men on horseback with a hundred unicorns carrying goods to continue walking, if you encounter a mob blocking the road and ask for something, you say that ten miles west of the city of Kamis found a granary, in order to rob the goods, hundreds of brothers died, let them go and rob it.

If they rob your goods, remember, don't resist, let them rob, and then get out of the scene as soon as possible and go back to the camp to wait for me. ”

"Aren't you stupid, let's go over together, so many people can still do it!"

Bai Liyan's cheeks twitched and she was silent:

"If you want to go, you will go. Remember, if they rob you of your goods, don't do it, just pull people and horses away, so as not to hurt your own people. ”

"Well, I've never seen you so stupid!"

Tian Peng only felt that Bailiyan was stupid and gave away the goods for nothing, but he didn't know that he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, if he didn't give up the goods of the hundred unicorns, and led the mob to the west to block the auxiliary legion of the Jin Xuedi people, and when the sky dawned, it was Bailiyan himself who was unlucky.

Tian Peng took two hundred people and rode a hundred unicorns to cross the road with a big grin, but he didn't know that Bailiyan had already shrunk back with the people and horses, waiting to see what happened.

When he was young, Tian Peng led people to pull the goods, but he was blocked by the mob:

"Stop, stop!"

Tian Peng decisively picked up the axe and shouted in a deep voice:

"Hey, what do you want to do!"

The mob quickly called out to their leader, and the leader rode a horse to look at the goods behind Tian Peng, and then looked at the two hundred or so people around Tian Peng, thinking that he still had two thousand people in his hand, and the greed in his eyes spontaneously appeared:

"This brother, there are a lot of things, where did you get them?"

Tian Peng remembered Fang Cai Bailiyan's explanation, and immediately responded:

"There is a granary ten miles west of the city of Kamis, and hundreds of brothers have died in order to grab these goods. It's a pity that there are still countless grains, grass, honey, and dried meat that can't be left, don't be stupid, hurry up and move it, it's still too late to go. If you go late, tens of thousands of people per minute, then there will not be much. ”

The leader of the mob, who was originally planning to rob, heard that the warehouse had everything, and a light flashed in front of him, and he immediately dispelled the idea of robbery:

"Thank you, brother, see you in the future, how about the brothers work together to kill the white-haired thief."

"That's okay, let's kill the white-haired thief together!"

Tian Peng responded to the other party stupidly, but the leader of the mob urged the horse to sweep by, pulling the men and horses to the west, completely forgetting the polite words of killing the white-haired thief together just now.

Tian Peng continued to go to the camp as planned, but he was thinking in his heart that Bai Liyan, a fool, how could someone loot the goods. So after being stopped four times along the way, the fifth time was finally robbed by a small gang of more than 600 people.

The big gang disdains your goods, because they grab a lot, but it is difficult to say that they are weak, they have few people, and they will rob less.

Bailiyan stayed in the dark, and saw that the mob was swarming to the west, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians passing by, so he immediately led the rest of the men and horses to continue south, and finally moved away from the city of Kamis before dawn. After dawn, they went into the forest non-stop and took the road to the east, in order to get rid of the Jinxuedi people who might chase them at any time.

It was around midnight that the cavalry of the auxiliary legion of the Jinxuedi people took the lead in the kill, and then engaged in a fierce battle with the mob, and defeated it in the afternoon.

Men and women, young and old, as long as they caught the living, all the rioters were nailed into the chest with large iron hooks, and then disemboweled, which was extremely cruel. And the initiator is undoubtedly Bailiyan, who escaped, if it weren't for him, these people might not have died so miserably.

But assuming that we can never start over, if we don't, it may be him and his brothers who will die. And those mobs could have broken through to the east, they had a chance, but once the opportunity was missed, they had to pay for it.

Etis's auxiliary regiment quickly suppressed the mob, killing and executing more than 8,000 people in just one day, and all the mobs that chose to move west were declared unsuccessful. The fire and theft of the granary shook the entire province of Po Song, and it may have been an unprecedented loss for hundreds of thousands of years.

Gudappa strictly ordered Etis to find out the culprit and exterminate the mob, and Etis did so, but the mob that quickly fled east fled into the deep mountains and forests one by one, which greatly increased the difficulty of extermination.

At the same time, when Bai Liyan, the real culprit, returned to the Maqimi camp after several days of trekking, there were more than a thousand more people in the camp.

"General, I've heard everything, this time it's enough for them to toss!" Su Hong was extremely excited, and said all kinds of hearsay news.

"Let me ask you, what is the situation with the extra thousand people?" Bailiyan asked vigilantly.

"The day before yesterday, this group of people broke into the five miles south of Maqimi Mountain, most likely because they took a fancy to the terrain of this place, and came to our army, and after being besieged by the last general, they beheaded their leader, and were temporarily detained. There were 1,272 people, more than 700 men, and the rest were women and children. ”

"Kill, what are you doing to kill their leader?"

"The last general originally didn't want to expose the strength of our army, so he hid the brigade, ordered Fang Liang to take two hundred people, blocked their way, and made the people who came know that it was difficult to retreat, where did they know that they saw that there were few people in us, that is, they wanted to eat us, and after they made the first move, the last general had no choice but to kill their leader and a few other people first, and replace them."

"Well, that's the right thing to do. Not exposing the strength of our army is the best policy, and capturing the thief and the king is the middle policy, and it's no wonder to you. To tell you the truth, there were more than 9,000 people who went there this time, but then they couldn't control it and broke up. ”

"Good boys, more than 9,000 people!" Su Hong was taken aback when he heard the news: "Then why are they all scattered?" ”

"It's a long story, let's talk about it slowly on the way back, let everyone get ready to go on the road, Jin Xuedi and the maintenance team will be swept up soon."
