266. Firefighting
The fire turned the dark night of Tianchengwei orange-red, and the temperature became higher the further you went towards the fire. The fire is the storeroom!
When Nangong Jin arrived, the entire warehouse had been engulfed in flames. Everyone who came in a hurry carried buckets and basins, but they could only watch the fire burn wildly, and it was useless to rely on these buckets of water alone. The fire began to spread to the surrounding area, and it had the momentum of burning Tianchengwei.
"Demolition of the house!" Nangong Jin shouted: "Can't let the fire burn!" Everyone, help demolish the house! Tear down the house next to you! Fast! As he spoke, he picked up a large rock from the ground and threw it at the house on the side of the fire.
After a while, the people moved, and smashed the houses with all kinds of tools in their hands. Houses were toppled down by their combined efforts, and the masonry was scattered. Nangong Jin commanded the people in the city to desperately build these bricks and stones to the edge of the fire, but the fire was still burning outward. Nangong Jin snatched a large basin, quickly filled it with sand and gravel, and poured a basin towards the edge of the fire, and some people began to follow his example. However, the area of the overfire is too large, and there is obviously not enough manpower.
At this time, Jin Jianchang led fifty defenders of the East Gate to rush to the scene, and with their joining, the action of demolishing the house and blocking the fire was accelerated. On the other side, there are people doing the same thing. After a stick of incense, although the fire did not decrease, it no longer spread.
**********
Outside the city, Zhao Yingfeng was sitting on the edge of the black car, chatting with Xie Hongyu about the immortal cultivators of Yunmeng Mountain, when he suddenly saw a sky-high fire rising in the city, and said strangely: "Huh? No way. ”
Xie Hongyu also saw the firelight, "You let people attack the city at night?" ”
Zhao Yingfeng shook his head puzzled, "No, those people shouldn't be so positive, right?" ”
"What's the situation?" Xie Hongyu turned his head to look at Zhao Yingfeng, and said with a smile: "It can't be that I was scared by you during the day and burned at night, right?" ”
Zhao Yingfeng continued to shake his head, "During the day, they only sent three hundred soldiers to explore the camp, and it was clear that they didn't believe in reinforcements. There is still strength in the city, why is it burned? ”
"Is there a fraud?" Xie Hongyu asked curiously.
"Don't, if you don't want to break through, then everyone will be embarrassed." Zhao Yingfeng said as he got up and left.
Xie Hongyu asked behind him, "Where are you going?" ”
"Stop them from breaking through." Zhao Yingfeng waved his hand and strode away.
The fire in the city never goes out. Outside the city, the leaders of the three major departments received Zhao Yingfeng's order for the first time, although they were reluctant, they still transferred 500 people each to surround Tianchengwei and attack the city with rockets.
In an instant, rockets like moths flew from all directions over Tianchengwei, and the city walls were full of sparkling fires.
But these rockets were inconspicuous under the cover of the fires in the city. When Jin Jianchang and Nangong Jin, who were demolishing the house, saw that they had already urgently deployed troops to defend them.
The two looked up and saw a little rocket flying in the sky not far away, and they were secretly frightened. Jin Jianchang pulled Nangong Jin and asked, "This fire won't go out, right?" ”
Nangong Jin nodded and replied, "I'm going to wait until it's burned out." ”
"You take someone to continue, and I'll go back first. Tartars are going to attack the city overnight? Jin Jianchang said, leaving all the soldiers to him and hurriedly leaving.
Nangong Jin was busy in the fire for a while, and the fire was slowly controlled within a certain range. When I turned around, I saw that Yao Fangyu was treating the people injured because of the firefighting, and was about to step forward to persuade her to go to a safe place, but was stopped by Xiao Lian, who hurriedly ran over, "Second son! Are the Tartars going to attack the city? ”
"You're fighting fires over there?" Nangong Jin looked at the other side, but he couldn't see anything through the fire.
"There are many of us, and Mr. Gao organized everyone to fight the fire together. No one paid attention to this fire when it started, and I don't know why it was so big. Xiao Lian looked at Nangong Jin anxiously.
"Is it under control over there?"
Xiao Lian looked around, "It's similar to here, we also demolished the house, piled up bricks and stones around the fire, and used fine sand to extinguish the fire." Mr. Gao said that this would not spread. He paused and looked at Nangong Jin nervously, "Second son, is it a Tatar siege?" ”
"It's not clear yet." Nangong Jin looked at the rockets that were still in the sky, and ordered: "Two things. One piece, I will leave these fifty soldiers to you, in case the fire rises again, do you know what to do? ”
Xiao Lian looked at the soldiers, his expression was a little nervous, "I, I only followed Mr. Gao to get ......." ”
"It doesn't matter, what you did before, you will do after. Besides, just in case, if the fire goes out, you let them go back to camp. After Nangong Jin finished talking to him, he turned around and ordered loudly to the soldiers present: "Everyone, from now on, Xiao Gongzi will lead everyone to extinguish the fire." The fire was extinguished, and Xiao Gongzi could only return to the camp after agreeing, unless there was a military order. ”
Hearing Nangong Jin say this, Xiao Lianxian blushed.
"Yes." The soldiers present replied in unison.
There were a few people who had practiced the formation with Nangong Jin, and they also said loudly: "General Nangong, don't worry, we won't leave until the fire is extinguished." ”
Also, the Tartars may be attacking the city, and it is at least safer to stay in the fire than to fight the zombies.
Nangong Jin patted Xiao Lian, "There is a second thing." ”
Xiao Lian said embarrassedly: "Second son, please speak." ”
Nangong Jin looked in Yao Fangyu's direction, "That, does Miss Yao know each other?" The one who bandaged the man over there. ”
Xiao Lian turned his head and looked at it carefully, "I've seen it." Miss Yao? ”
"Do me a favor, let her be with you later, you take care of it." Nangong Jin confessed.
Xiao Lian looked at Yao Fangyu again, turned his head to look at Nangong Jin as if he understood something, but he was a little entangled in his heart, and finally nodded, "I know." I will definitely take care of it. ”
Nangong Jin smiled helplessly, didn't say anything, and ran towards the north gate.
**********
Nangong Jin returned to the north gate, and the soldiers at the north gate breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him. He went up to the north gate wall, and there were dotted and burning arrows along the way, and there was probably nothing to burn, and there was not much of a threat. The soldiers patrolling the city were holding shields, and they should not be able to shoot anyone.
Nangong Jin inspected the city. For some reason, the rockets didn't seem to be as dense as before, and the interval between rounds was getting longer and longer, and there were no enemies coming to attack the city. Why is that? I really don't understand the purpose of the Tartars outside the city. So, after making arrangements for the soldiers, he hurried to see Liang Lie.
At the door of the main watchtower, Zhang Maocai looked in, saw Nangong Jin coming, pretended not to see it, and walked away. Nangong Jin was startled when she entered.
Inside, Lin Fei knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, pointing at Chen Baishui and shouting: "It's him!" He instructed me to burn it! said that he wanted to blame Nangong Jin! It's all him! ”
"Bloody mouth!" Chen Baishui scolded, probably mad, and shouted directly: "Come on, take him down, and be punished by military law!" ”
Feng Yue looked at Nangong Jin, who had just stepped through the door, and gave him a look, asking him not to come in. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Nangong Jin understood, withdrew from the door, and stood at the door and waited.
Liang Lie frowned. Lin Fei was caught by Chen Baishui's subordinates when he set fire to the warehouse. He also carried two barrels of oil with him at that time. When he was caught, because Lin Fei resisted stubbornly, he kicked the oil into the fire, and the fire was instantly uncontrollable. Looking at Lin Fei, who had his hair and clothes burned, Liang Lie had no choice but to say, "Take it to the dungeon and try it again in the future." ”
The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward and dragged them away directly, Lin Fei shouted in fright, pointing at Chen Baishui, "Don't go!" I'm not going! He's going to kill me! It's him who loses Sky Castle Guard! It's him! It's him! ”
No matter how Lin Fei identified and struggled, or was dragged out of the door, Nangong Jin saw that he hid slightly. Lin Fei desperately shouted to the sky: "I have evidence!" I have......! ”
Chen Baishui was extremely anxious and shouted: "Nonsense! Slander! It's all slander! ”
Lin Fei was dragged down the city wall, still shouting something, and faintly heard, "...... Treasury, in the treasury ....... Evidence....... ”
Chen Baishui fell to his knees and cried to Liang Lie: "The last general has never had a deep relationship with him, Lin Fei has tried to please me several times, but I feel that his character is not good, so I never ignored him, but I didn't expect him to ......." He actually knelt down and cried.
Chen Baishui was still crying and talking, but he couldn't hear what he was talking about, only howling. After a while, Liang Lie didn't have much patience, so he got up and pulled him up, "General Chen, this matter must be fair to you." He asked Feng Yue again: "What's the matter with Nangong Jin?" ”
Feng Yue replied: "He's outside, I'll let him in." ”
With such kung fu, the enemy army outside the city has stopped rocket attacks, and this kind of siege makes Nangong Jin even more unable to figure it out.
Liang Lie looked at Nangong Jin and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Nangong Jin opened her mouth, looked at Chen Baishui, who had tears and snot on his face, and didn't say anything about fighting the fire, but changed his words, "Miss Yao should be safer with the people in the city." ”
Liang Lie looked at him and nodded, "What else?" ”
"Nangong doesn't know the boss's arrangement, so I'm here to receive the order," Nangong Jin said.
"It's not arranged for the time being, you just guard the north gate." Liang Lie dismissed.
"Yes." Before Nangong Jin stepped back, he looked at Feng Yue. Did you finally decide not to break through? It is also possible that the enemy suddenly stormed the city with rockets and changed his decision. Also, it seems that he is still in the position of quartermaster, so this fire .......
Nangong Jin looked at the fire that was still burning in the distance, but it was obviously much weaker.
**********
"What's wrong?" Xie Hongyu looked at Zhao Yingfeng, who was back again.
Zhao Yingfeng looked a little depressed, "They said that they ran out of arrows and refused to shoot again." "When I said this, I was not so depressed, and I felt a little funny." He also said that the people who fought the war would not arrive until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”
"Huh? What if the city wants to break out? Xie Hongyu asked.
Zhao Yingfeng looked at Xie Hongyu in a daze, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Now they only have the south gate to enter and exit, and the other city gates are welded to death." If they really open all four gates and force their way through, then I can only respect their boss as a man. ”
Hearing him say this, Xie Hongyu covered his mouth and laughed, "It's obvious that you have no prestige." ”
Zhao Yingfeng laughed, "What is the use of my prestige, and I can't eat it as food." ”
