Chapter 231: An Unstable Situation
"Come, I'll salute the generalissimo again!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Gao Ciyi and Han Guangde drank each other, put down the wine cup and fell back to their seats, and when they swept it with their eyes, Han Guangde felt that the comfort of this trip was a little longer.
"Gao Yushi, your uncle has been out for a long time."
Gao Ciyi didn't know where An Yi went, and he didn't see anyone after drinking a few wines, so he had to laugh dryly, and said to him: "Hehe, Uncle Xing is that there is something in the camp that is involved, it doesn't matter, he should be back soon." Generalissimo's mare's milk wine is really fragrant, and it is not often drunk in our place. ”
Han Guangde not only didn't feel unaccustomed to drinking but also felt very good when he heard him, and his face was naturally full of smiles, "That's good, that's good, the old man was afraid that the wine banquet would be slackened before, but now it's ......."
Before he finished speaking, he opened the curtain from outside and broke in a Liao soldier, knelt on the ground at Han Guangde, and pointed to the outside of the camp tent and said: "Report to the generalissimo, there is a large fire in the camp outside!" ”
Han Guangde stood up after hearing the "ho", and the smiling expression on his face just now was no longer there.
"Don't panic, what's on fire?"
"The four corners of the camp and the back camp are all filled with fire oil, as if fire oil caused the fire!"
Generally, if there is a fire in the camp, at most it will be the piece that makes the food later, and the camp is camped next to the stream, even if it burns, it should be extinguished by the man carrying water.
But now there are fires everywhere, and there is even fire oil in it, so Han Guangde knows in his heart that it is very likely that someone did it on purpose.
"Gao Yushi and sit wide first, presumably the soldier did it carelessly, and the old man will go back when he goes."
After all, the matter was in his own camp, and no one could let the Great Xia envoy see the joke, so he played a dumb riddle at Gao Ciyi and turned out.
Gao Ciyi originally thought that it was just a fire in the Liao camp, and snickered in his heart and said that this Liao man was enough to show his eyes, but when he heard the word "fire oil" in the mouth of the Liao soldier, he also thought of what Jin Mingyin said to him and An Yi in the afternoon, and he also realized that something was wrong, and then stood up and walked out of the camp.
When Gao Ciyi came out of the big tent of peace talks, the fire on the north bank of the stream was already quite large, and you could see buckets splashing on the tent everywhere, some riding horses and some simply trotting all the way, everyone was very panicked about this sudden fire.
Just as Jin Mingyin expected, once the tent that was poured with fierce fire oil ignited the fire, the huge tongue of fire would immediately rise into the air like a golden dragon, and the rolling heat wave with the help of the northwest wind, within twenty or thirty steps, it was simply impossible to get closer, and buckets of firefighting water could only be poured far away on this fire dragon, a drop in the bucket, it was useless at all,
The only way is to isolate these lit tents, let the fire completely engulf the tents, and when they are burned and there is nothing to burn, the fire will naturally be extinguished.
But it's easier to think, the fire oil itself is also a thick liquid, flowing around very well to control its direction, sometimes like a thin fire snake-like oil path, can ignite a large fire.
As soon as Gao Ciyi turned out of the big tent for peace talks, he saw several Xia soldiers holding crotch knives and pressing several black-clothed people to the ground.
"Who is this?"
Those Xia Jun didn't know Gao Ciyi, but they also knew that they were envoys who were with Jing Yuanbo in the peace talks, so they hurriedly arched their hands at him and replied: "My lord, a few of us caught a thief by chance, he was pouring a bucket of oil on the big tent of the peace talks, and we took it on the spot. ”
Gao Ciyi bowed down and looked at the black-clothed man who was accused on the ground, then stretched out his hand and ripped off their masks, frowning and asking, "Who are you?" Who sent you? ”
The man in black didn't answer, but looked at Gao Ciyi viciously with his eyes.
Gao Ciyi was pretending to have something in his heart at this time, and he didn't have time to interrogate here, seeing that he looked like he was resisting death, he instructed a few Xia Jun: "A few of you go to the back camp and gather all the brothers for me, leaving a hundred people to protect the surroundings of this peace tent, and no one is allowed to approach, and the rest of the people will go to help put out the fire, and these black-clothed people will escort them back to the south bank and take strict care of me!" ”
"Yes!"
"By the way, where is your General Kim?"
This stopped the Xia Jun at once, scratched his head and looked left and right, and then shook his head towards Gao Ciyi: "We don't know, we came from the back camp before." ”
"Forget it! Go, and do as I say. ”
After giving the order, he stretched out his hand to the two cavalrymen on his left and said, "Lend me your horse and spear!" ”
"Yes!"
Gao Ciyi took the reins handed over by the cavalry, turned over and got on his horse, then grabbed the steel spear, and ran to the rear camp......
...........
Let's say that Jin Mingyin and Maozi were like dogs and rabbits, so that a few sturdy black-clothed people were holding steel knives in the camp, but they were still holding a short crossbow in their hands, circling between the camp tents, and they also shot two arrows back, so that the black-clothed people chasing behind still had to guard against cold arrows from time to time, and they couldn't catch up in front of them.
However, the men in black were very persistent, and they followed behind like dog skin plasters without the slightest intention of stopping.
"Maozi, how many arrows do you have in your hand?"
Jin Mingyin hid behind a pile of unused camp support wood, quietly cat's waist, and sent out a cold mang with a "whoosh", and a black-clothed man who rushed to the front not far away fell in response.
Mao Zi leaned sideways next to a camp tent opposite him, and looked down at the arrow box of the short crossbow in his hand, "There are still about a dozen, so I brought this box with me, and there is nothing else." ”
"I'm gone, just seven or eight."
Mao Zi glanced out, "Then what to do, I think there are quite a few of them." ”
Jin Mingyin pondered it carefully in his mind, and thought about it, which made him think of an old method, and then he made a gesture towards Maozi opposite,
Mao Zi had been following Jin Mingyin for so long, and he understood what he meant by looking at his gestures, and nodded at him heavily, and the short crossbow in his hand was clenched tighter.
The two of them hid in this position on the left is the camp support pile that Jin Mingyin leaned on, and on the right is the camp where Mao Zi is hiding, and between the two of them is a dirt road in the camp, and Kankan can only pass side by side with three or two people.
The group of men in black saw the two of them hiding here, but the night was gray, and they didn't carefully see where they were hiding.
When the people behind received the signal, they slowed down their steps and began to tiptoe to hold the knife, step by step towards the back of the dirt road.
Three steps
Two steps
one-step
"Put!"
This shout came suddenly, startling the two black-clothed people led by them, and the two of them thought it was the person behind them shouting at first, so they turned their heads to look at the sound, but found that the people behind them were also looking at each other blankly,
When the two of them turned back again, Jin Mingyin and Mao Zi suddenly appeared in front of them like ghosts, holding two short crossbows in their hands, and the tips of Leng Sensen's arrows on the crossbow bed showed cold light, pointing directly at the heads of the two black-clothed people!
Not a step, so close! Even if it's a short crossbow with an iron helmet on your head, drill a hole for you!
"Whoosh!"
"Poof!"
The two of them didn't give them a chance to react at all, and with a snap, three or five arrows pierced the skull of the man in black without hindrance with Sen Ran's killing intent, and then continued to wrap the cold wind to connect the few people behind them and string sugar gourds in a row.
This trick was used against Xia Ang when he was in Songling Village before, and at that time, the new gun projectile was insufficient, so it was put into the fight.
This time, Jin Mingyin came to repeat his old tricks, and after listening to the sound of footsteps approaching, he killed them by surprise and brought the strength of this short crossbow into full play.
"Hehe, it's all for Lao Tzu to leave here!"
Jin Mingyin looked at the corpses on the ground and laughed dryly, and wiped off the blood splashed on his face with his cuffs and the fine sweat on his head, and beckoned to Maozi, "Go!" Go back to the big tent of peace talks. ”
The two of them looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no more pursuers, they planned to turn around and go back to the camp.
"Whoosh!"
Two feathered arrows stuck one after the other in front of the feet of the two of them!
"You two rats are really hard to catch!"
A strong man still wearing Liao clothes and armor sat on a horse, the longbow in his hand was already in the shape of a full moon, and two white feather arrows were buckled on the arrow string, and the tips of the arrows were facing the two of them.
Obviously, the two arrows just now came from him.
If it was just him, needless to say, Jin Mingyin could have 10,000 ways to get out with Maozi, but with his words, more than a dozen black-clothed people surrounded him, all of them were facing the two of them with bows and arrows, as long as they dared to make any move, they would be shot into hedgehogs on the spot.
Jin Mingyin squinted his eyes and saw that the man sitting on the horse was none other than the Khitan led by the convoy transporting the oil convoy.
"I knew you weren't a good stubble! Get so much fierce fire oil, it turns out to be a firebreaker! ”
The Khitan strong man smiled sadly at him twice, and replied viciously: "You know too late, but don't worry, there will be many people who will go down to accompany you tonight." ”
Jin Mingyin and Mao Zi had basically shot the arrow box just now, at most there were one or two left, and they were pointed at so many arrows, even if they had the ability to pass through the sky, they would not be able to escape death.
At this time, his heart was also like ashes, his mouth was heavy and rough, and his mind was also empty and white.
"It's over, I'm going to leave it here today."
The frustration in his heart also made him angry, he threw the short crossbow in his hand to the ground, pointed at the Khitan and scolded loudly: "Come on! If you kill me, Brother Yi will definitely let you pay for your life! ”
"Shoot the arrows!"
The sound of bowstrings resounded in the night sky, and the arc of death tore through the sky, and a little bit of life-threatening cold light continued to amplify in the eyes of Jin Mingyin and Mao Zi!
I really...... Is that the end of it......
