Chapter 288: Accumulation (13)

To transport two hundred poks of oil quietly to the street in half a cup of tea, it is possible to say that it is possible. The alley is less than a zhang wide, more than enough for three people side by side, as long as the oil drum is placed in the middle of the road, all personnel follow the basic principle of "drive on the right", and it is not difficult to transport more than 200 edible oil in half a cup of tea.

After a group of patrols crossed the alley again, twenty steps back, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) gave an order:

"Up!"

Jiang Jie nodded, and took the lead in rolling the wooden barrel and rushed out of the alley, followed by the others, the wooden barrel was quickly transported to the street and erected under the tumbling, and the wooden cork that was stuffed at the mouth of the barrel was pulled out, and a hundred people acted quietly and decisively, working together as if they were one person.

One hundred pokes of cooking oil was quickly reloaded, and the second wave of one hundred pokes had already relayed to follow, and it was almost not half a tea time, and the second group of patrols came from a hundred paces away from the north and south, and it was impossible to see the situation a hundred steps away in the dark, and only two hundred paces away, another group of patrolling torches was coming towards each other.

"Quick, kick the oil drum down in one go!"

Bai Liyan shouted in a low voice, the oil drums were lined up in four rows, a row of fifty barrels, and the corresponding hundred boys stood in two rows, after the first row of oil drums kicked over, fifty people quickly retreated to the third row, and when the first row of personnel was evacuated, the second row quickly kicked down, and then so on until the fourth row of oil drums fell down.

Jiang Jie and the other hundred young men quickly withdrew to the entrance of the alley, and at this time, the thieves patrolling the night were less than fifty steps away from the entrance of the alley, and faintly saw the figures in the darkness ahead, and immediately became suspicious.

"Who!" The head of the group broke off with a snort, and quickly picked up the guy and rushed to the place where the figure appeared, but he just took two steps and snapped! One fell heavily on the ground with his back facing the sky, and more than a dozen people behind him were caught off guard and defenseless, slipping under their feet one after another, and one by one they fell to the ground.

If nothing else, the downed cooking oil spreads rapidly along the stone pavement of the street, and due to the long period of pedestrianism, the central pavement of the main road is actually slightly lower than the terrain on both sides.

Although it was not visible to the naked eye, the liquid could not go to a high place, and the vegetable oil spread rapidly along the east and west directions of the main road, and the two teams of night watchmen who came similarly stepped on the vegetable oil and slipped and fell down one after another, so that they could not get up.

What's even more troublesome is that the more you can't get up, the more you have to find ways to struggle to a place where there is no oil, and the result is that you can't get up where you climb with oil.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the thieves shouted and called the surrounding garrisons, and hundreds of thieves moved when they heard the wind, and the first wave of thieves slipped and fell on their backs facing the sky, and cursed in anger.

"Damn it, who was blind and sprinkled oil on the street!" The thief who fell to the ground cursed, reaching out and touching the smell of vegetable oil on his body.

"General, someone just secretly sprinkled oil, and I can't wait to be conspired against." Shi Chang, who was still lying on the ground, was miserable, and no matter how he climbed, he just couldn't get up.

At this time, the vegetable oil in the oil drum had not yet been poured out, and it continued to spread, and before the rebels could stabilize their position, a spark in front of them crossed the air, and with a crisp sound, a flame rose out of thin air, and the splashed alcohol burned quickly with the flames.

"Quick, throw it out!"

Baili Yan shouted.

Jiang Jie and others threw out half of the porcelain jars filled with alcohol, pine oil, and coal tar in their hands one after another, and after being contaminated with the flames, they quickly rose and spread, igniting the vegetable oil and burning it all the way to the rebels. The rebel general was shocked when he saw this scene, and his eyes were almost dripping blood:

"Holy damn, get out!"

The rebel general gave an order, and hundreds of people quickly fled westward like ghosts, and Bailiyan saw that the opportunity had been accomplished, and then returned to Zhou Caidong's house:

"Brother Gao, quickly withdraw with me!"

"What should the Zhou family do?"

Gao Xun looked at the fire that burned on the street outside, although it was still far away, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not burn to the Zhou family. Bai Liyan glanced at the fire, and immediately looked at Zhou Caidong:

"Whether to go or stay with Zhou Caidong to make his own decision, if he follows Wei, Wei will not ensure that the Zhou family can be safe."

Zhou Caidong wanted to cry without tears at this time, oil was his lifeline, Baili Yan forcibly levied, and he didn't even give a penny, and now he said that he wanted to run for his life, and he didn't guarantee that his family would survive, which is what kind of truth is this.

"Alas...... It's all over, stay and wait for death, Zhou also fled with the general. Zhou Caidong sighed helplessly.

"Okay, everyone in the mansion will come to the backyard immediately, Jiang Jie!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Quickly go and knock down the wall of the courtyard next door, and let me pass."

"No!"

Opposite the alley outside Ding Caidong's backyard is a dirt wall, there is no side door, so it is obviously impossible for so many people to climb over the wall, so they can only break through the wall and enter this road.

So Jiang Jie and more than a dozen others came to the alley with a dismantled column, and bombarded the earthen wall in front of them no less than ten times in a row, and with a bang, a big hole was broken in the wall.

"Quick, pick it up for me!"

"No!"

The children rushed up to the wall, the Zhou family was shocked when the rich family who lived in the door heard the news, the head of the house hurriedly rushed out of the door to see, and in the darkness he saw that the courtyard wall of the atrium was blown down from the outside, and more than ten people were digging the wall to expand the gap, the head of the house knew that something was wrong, and called out more than ten people to the family, holding sticks and wooden guns to stab, Jiang Jie saw this and said:

"The rebels are in turmoil, and our army will not harass them by taking advantage of the road, and those who stand in the way will be killed, and they will not retreat!"

Jiang Jie showed his horizontal knife, the cold light was obviously frightening, knowing that it was the official army, the head of the family did not dare to fight hard, after all, the guys at hand were all burning sticks, where could they fight with the officials and soldiers, so he hid behind the family and shouted:

"The military master will never stand in the way, and please don't hurt my family's life."

"Whoever wants to take your life, don't hurry up and hide and take care of the goods, these thieves outside are staring at you and waiting for wealth."

Not long after Jiang Jie's words fell, the wall had been completely opened, and more than ten people rushed in one go, followed by Zhou Caidong and dozens of people from his family, and Bai Liyan finally fell into the courtyard.

Zhou Caidong is an acquaintance of this land, and he knows the old Wang family next door. When Lao Wang saw that Zhou Caidong also broke through the wall, he was very puzzled:

"Zhou Caidong, how can you escape."

Zhou Caidong is suffering words, he said:

"Alas...... I heard that Xiangguo is the leader of the Black Turban Army and has rebelled. ”

"Hah!" Wang Caidong was shocked: "This god is killed, I am so bitter to wait for the toss, this damn thing has already colluded with the rebels!" ”

Bai Liyan didn't expect Wang and Zhou Caidong to hate Gongsun Yue so much, but after thinking about it, who said it wasn't.

Gongsun Yue plundered a large amount of wealth in the name of the imperial court, and then intensified the anger of the people, and at the same time secretly ceded a large amount of benefits to the Black Turban Army agent Jia embezzlement and sent to the rebels.

When Zhou Caidong was talking to Lao Wang, Jiang Jie, who had gone to explore the way, had already returned.

The west of the old Wang's house is a small street, more than two zhang wide, the opposite side of the small street is a big household, after this big household is a restaurant, the diagonal opposite of the restaurant is the Liang State Legation's Mansion, but to go directly to the restaurant, it is not easy.

Let's not mention that the rebels have occupied the restaurant and used it as a stronghold, eating and drinking in it. After the fire just now, the rebels have strengthened their security, and all the entrances and exits outside the Liang State Legation Mansion have been sealed tightly, and they want to go unless they rush in.

Hearing that Bai Liyan and others were going to the Liang State Legation's Mansion, Wang Caidong said positively at this time:

"General Wei, Wang is not talented, but there is a strategy to let the general get out of trouble safely."

Bai Liyan's eyes lit up when she heard the news, and she hurriedly asked:

"Oh, say it!"

"This Liang State Minister's Mansion was originally the prince's mansion of the current king, so there is a hidden ditch dug, and this dark ditch runs east-west and leads to the current Liang State Minister's Mansion. Now this ditch is behind the gate in my front yard, and as long as it is dug through, it can enter the Liang State Legation's Palace. ”

"Shhh...... Sure enough, it is a clever plan, if this matter is successful, Wang Caidong will make a lot of contributions. ”

Nowadays, although there is no underground pipe network, in order to facilitate life and solve waterlogging, the city has an underground drainage canal pipe network, which starts in the palace and ends in the culvert under the city wall, and takes the palace as the core, radiating in four directions.

The Liang State Legation Mansion and the Prince's Mansion were on the pipeline of this underground drainage culvert, and most of the other powerful relatives and officials were located along this drainage culvert to build mansions near or far.

Wang Caidong settled on this street more than 20 years ago, when King Xian was still the crown prince, after Wang Caidong bought this house, he decisively expanded the front yard to the main road by two feet, and occupied this drainage canal into his own yard. He also opened an open channel in his yard to facilitate the discharge of sewage from the open channel into the culvert.

If you want to say that Wang Caidong is bold, Zhou Caidong didn't dare to do it.

After hearing the news, Bai Liyan decisively brought someone to the front yard with an oil lamp, and sure enough, he found that there was a stone pier in the northwest corner of the front yard that was upside down, and under the stone pier was a drainage culvert.

"Jiang Jie, take someone to dig up this place, and the movement will be smaller."

"No!"

Jiang Jie led people to move the stone pier and dig the hole with a bronze shovel, while Bai Liyan was concerned about the fire burning in the east and whether the vegetable oil would flow into the drainage culvert along the street.

But after thinking about it, if it has burned into the culvert, Wang Caidong's house is only about 100 steps away from the source of the fire, if the fire is poured into the culvert, the culvert should be smoking, and now it seems that the oil should not have entered the culvert, even if it goes in, there is water in the culvert, and it can't be burned for a while.

After a short time, Jiang Jie had already led people to dig up the entrance, and it was disappointing at first glance, the culvert was too small for adults to pass through.

"General, I'll go!" Jiang Jie volunteered.

Bai Liyan looked at him, and his body was barely able to get in, but Bai Liyan was still not at ease. After all, there is no more stringent technical standard nowadays, and the size of the section in front of the teenager can drill in, but it does not mean that the size of other sections is the same standard, if it is stuck, the consequences are unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he gathered all the boys, picked out the shortest and thinnest boys, stripped off his armor and wore only a pair of pants, and entered the dark ditch.
