Chapter 1308: The Battle of Chongzhou (3)

Rao is Fan Guilai's heart is as careful as a hair, but he would never have thought that this arsonist was not plotting a granary at all, but the entire Chongzhou City!

He felt that as long as he guarded the granary, even if the other party had great ability, he would not be able to make any waves. It is true that it is easy to set fire to a granary, but it is desirable to do so before tens of millions of people. It is not an easy task to burn down an entire granary with one fire...... This is also the reason why Shi Yuan did not let Liuli directly set fire to the grain.

The granary is generally placed near the water, and in the north of Chongzhou City, there is a river introduced from outside the city. As soon as there is a fire, you can get water from the river to extinguish the fire as soon as possible! Therefore, throughout the ages, it seems to be an easy task to sneak up on the enemy's grain and grass reserves, but in fact it is a thankless task. Especially in this kind of urban warfare, if you want to set fire to food, it is definitely not something that can be done by one person.

And just when Fan Guilai focused all his attention on the granary, Liuli, as an arsonist, had already fled to the south of the city.

The fire in the north of the city was very large, and with the commotion of tens of millions of soldiers, all the people in the city rose up. Chongzhou City, which had already entered the silence, began to make noise again...... Of course, the people who were guarding the city in the south of the city had already noticed it.

"Chief, shall we go over and have a look? It's a granary, if you ...... "Looking at the north of the city with flames, the soldiers guarding the city in the south of the city will ask the generals who take the lead."

"Look fart! Is this granary so prone to fire? We're going to stay here without General Fan's order! "This general is obviously experienced, and he knows that it is definitely not an easy thing to set fire to food. What's more, there are 20,000 people guarding inside and outside the granary, and if the fire really rises, these 20,000 people can't be saved, so what's the use of these people in the past?

Hearing his words, none of the soldiers under him were talking, but everyone's eyes couldn't help but look to the south...... If this granary is really gone, they are afraid that they will be to blame. Such a big thing, it would not be too much for Emperor Beiqing to kill them.

"Kong Er, you go over and take a look, and come back and report to me." Although the commander who defended the city said this, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. He felt that he had to know the situation.

"Huh? Only...... Am I alone? This Kong Er is obviously a rookie, and when he heard the order, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Of course! Why don't I send someone to protect you? It's just to let you look at the situation, and it's not for you to go to the enemy camp, you're afraid of an egg......" Seeing Kong Er's appearance, the general who defended the city couldn't help but be annoyed, and he scolded on his lips, but he was scolding, but he heard a sound of horses' hooves coming from the city.

Shi Yuan made preparations with both hands, if the defenders of the city looked at the fire and left, Liuli would open the city gate smoothly, if they didn't leave, then Liuli would need to pass the military order on the fake line.

At this time, it was the glass that came on horseback after dressing up.

"Who's under the city?" Liuli had just approached the city gate on horseback when she heard someone shouting from the city.

It's not that easy! Hearing the shouts in the city, Liuli secretly said in his heart, so he raised his head and replied in a changed voice: "There is a fire in the north of the city, the gaffe is urgent, and the general asked everyone in the city to go to the north of the city!" I'm here to herald! ”

This was taught by Shi Yuan, and the granary was not mentioned in the words, nor did he say which general it was...... But when he heard these words, the commander who defended the city couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

It looks like this is a serious matter. didn't say anything about the granary, but I was afraid that it was General Fan's intention, in order to hide people's eyes......

The general defending the city was thinking about it, but Liuli under the city continued to shout: "Please withdraw quickly!" ”

After speaking, he did not stop, so he turned the horse's head and turned away. Even the call of the commander behind him who defended the city completely ignored it!

Liuli ran out in one go, and then turned around and rode into an alley. After dismounting, he quietly looked out into the street......

Outside Chongzhou City, Shi Yuan and the others were only three or four miles away from Chongzhou City, and at this time, there was such a commotion in the city, and their group could hear it clearly. Everyone didn't know what was going on in Chongzhou City, only Shi Yuan had a solemn face.

He himself felt that the whole plan was actually very hasty, and if the gates could not be opened, the plan would fail...... Their trip is over.

"Brother Shi, take it easy, you can follow me when you enter the city. The first time you kill someone, you will inevitably be nervous ......" Qiao Cannon on the side felt that Shi Yuan beside him seemed to be a little nervous, so he spoke.

These are the words he often said to his recruits when he was in Saibei before. Shi Yuan seems to be scheming, but in the eyes of Qiao Cannon, he, the general, is really a rookie egg.

"First killing? Brother Qiao, have you forgotten that the Golden Snake and his party died under my command in Jinling City? Shi Yuan was a little dissatisfied with Qiao Cannon's comfort as if he was teaching, so he retorted.

"It's different! There is no one in this Chongzhou City who kneels on the ground and asks Brother Shi to kill you. When the time came, the streets and alleys in the city were fighting, the flesh and blood were blurred, and blood was splashed on the spot...... This is not like Brother Shi, you kill people with the fire gun in your hand. Hand-to-hand combat, relying on momentum! Regarding Shi Yuan's rebuttal, in Qiao Cannon's opinion, he thought that he was weak-hearted.

Shi Yuan heard this, but he didn't say anything more, just wrapped the saber in his hand tightly with a strip of cloth.

"Brother Qiao, I promised Kong Bo to bring his three sons back. When I enter the city, you can help me keep an eye on it, his name is Kong San, and he was a recruit who was arrested a few days ago. Wrapping the strip of cloth around his hand again, Shi Yuan spoke again.

"This ...... I'll try my best. ”

In fact, Qiao Cannon originally wanted to say something difficult, but when the words came to his lips, he still changed it to "try as much as possible". They originally wanted to mess up this Chongzhou City, fish in troubled waters, and confuse the public. When the time comes, the entire Chongzhou City is in chaos, where will there be time for them to find people?

"Brother Qiao, you say...... Can we succeed? Shi Yuan understood in his heart, and he didn't embarrass Qiao Cannon, at this time, everything could only be resigned to fate. This is the sudden question.

"This ...... It's hard to say. However, being able to follow Brother Shi to do such crazy things, even if it doesn't work, it's already worth it! My Qiao cannon is fighting for this master's head, and I am also willing! Qiao Cannon shook his head, turned to look in the direction of Chongzhou City, and said to Shi Yuan with a serious face.
