A sudden commotion outside the walls of the granary barracks attracted the attention of several Tibetan soldiers on the arrow tower. They followed the sound, but saw two soldiers scuffling together in the clearing beyond the wall. To be precise, one soldier chases another soldier.

What makes people feel puzzled is that the soldier who was chased was obviously taller and stronger, but he was chased by the thin soldier behind him and kept begging for mercy, looking like a bear bag.

"Damn, these bastards have nothing to do, they're hanging out and making trouble, these two must be soldiers and horses who have returned from the defeat of the city. When these men came to our Metuo, the city was in chaos. This group of guys who lost the city of law and lost it are still in the mood to drink and have fun, and they are really shameless. A soldier on the tower scolded.

"Isn't General Alajiang thinking about taking them in to help defend the city? In fact, without these people, our 20,000-strong army in Motuo City would definitely be able to defend it. When I look at them, I get angry. Tell them to get out of here, and if they don't, shoot them with arrows. Another soldier said.

The soldiers on the arrow tower immediately looked down at the two who were still entangled and chasing each other, and shouted, "Hey, which general's soldiers and horses are you two?" This is the granary barracks, but not a place for you to fight. The city lord of Alajiang gave a strict order, but those who dared to approach would be killed. Hurry up and get out of here, or we're welcome, and send you to see the true Buddha. ”

Wang Yuan heard it sincerely, and hurriedly waved his hand towards the arrow tower and shouted: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows." It's all my brother's fault that he was drunk and drunk and chased after and beat people, so I took him and left. Treat yourself to one. ”

A Luo, who pretended to be beating Wang Yuan on the side, gritted his teeth in a low voice and said, "Wow, you dare to say that I am crazy about drinking." ”

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "I like women who are crazy about drinking. ”

The shouts of the soldiers on the arrow tower were heard again: "Get out of here, the army is drinking, and this alone will cut off the head." If you don't report to the city lord again, you will be dead. ”

"Get out of here, get out right now." Wang Yuan nodded upwards and dragged Ah Luo, who was stumbling and drunk, away from the barracks.

In such a commotion, the eyes of all the soldiers on the arrow tower were attracted to Wang Yuan and A Luo, Wang Yuan looked at the direction where Gongsun Lan was hiding while leaving, but saw a black shadow like a slip of green smoke and rushed to the camp wall through a distance of dozens of steps, and it was like a ghost disappearing.

Wang Yuan secretly praised Gongsun Lan's good body, and he had already entered the camp in the blink of an eye, without dragging his feet in the slightest.

"My cousin went in, and the play was a success." Wang Yuan said in a low voice.

Ah Luo whispered in surprise: "So fast? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Let's see if my cousin can solve the enemy soldiers on this arrow tower." ”

The two of them still walked away slowly, and the Tubo soldiers on the arrow tower were still staring at their staggering backs, until they disappeared into the darkness, and several Tubo soldiers spat and scolded: "What the hell." ”

At the moment when they turned around, they found a black shadow on the arrow tower, holding a bright long sword in his hand. Several soldiers were slightly stunned, and before they could open their mouths to ask half a sentence, they saw that the black shadow was killing people, and within a few breaths, the five soldiers on night duty on the arrow tower did not even have time to ring the gong hanging on the wooden pillar of the arrow tower, and they all covered their throats and fell softly on the arrow tower.

Gongsun Lan slowly wiped the blood stains on the sword, returned it to the sheath, and looked around vigilantly with her eyes. There was silence all around, nothing out of the ordinary, and apparently no one noticed what was happening on the tower. Gongsun Lan stretched out her hand and took out a white silk scarf from her arms, leaned out of the arrow tower and waved it twice, sending a signal to Wang Yuan and them. Soon after, she saw Wang Yuan and Ah Luo rush through the open area from the darkness to the outer wall of the barracks. Arlo threw the hook, and the two climbed to the top of the camp wall like apes and landed in the camp. Gongsun Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the ladder under the arrow tower, and Gongsun Lan looked over and saw that Wang Yuan and A Luo were quietly climbing up, so she moved away from a corpse blocking the entrance of the ladder and let the two of them go up the tower smoothly.

Wang Yuan looked at the corpses of the five Tibetan soldiers and the gong on the wooden pillar and smacked his tongue: "It turns out that they have a warning gong, and they have a good home, if they ring the gong, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "How can you allow them to warn, that is absolutely not allowed." ”

Wang Yuan raised his fingers and praised silently, bent down and squatted on the edge of the fence of the arrow tower to look inside the barracks. This is the best place to observe the patrol team in the barracks, and of course Wang Yuan wants to take advantage of this.

"See, the conical stuff piled up in the field about a hundred steps away is the granary of the grain. There are about two dozen piles, which is really a lot. Wang Yuan whispered and pointed to the lights in the distance.

A hundred steps away from the wall are more than 20 grain piles, placed in two rows. But around the granary, there are many houses, neatly arranged in rows, some tall, some low, like barracks and warehouses of supplies. There are also a lot of soldiers and horses patrolling, in addition to the two patrols on the periphery patrolling around with lanterns, there are several moving lights that can be seen in the granary, presumably also patrolling Tibetan soldiers.

After looking at the situation roughly, it was time to act, and the three of them gently got off the arrow tower and quietly approached the nearest house. Taking advantage of the brief break between the two patrols, the trio quickly crossed the open area to the shadows of a low, narrow house. The three of them walked slowly along the path of the house, and walked to the window, Wang Yuan listened under the hidden window, but listened to the snoring in the room inside the window, obviously there were many Tibetan soldiers sleeping soundly. This also confirmed Wang Yuan's previous judgment that these rows of narrow and low houses were the barracks where the soldiers lived.

The three of them tiptoed through the dozen barracks and arrived under a row of tall houses. These premises are clearly much stronger and taller than the barracks to be built. Wang Yuan also listened for a while under the windows of these houses, but there was silence in these houses, as if no one lived in them.

Wang Yuan beckoned gently, and the three of them whispered when they met their heads.

"Let's go in and see." Wang Yuandao.

"What are you going to do in there? It is important to burn grain and grass. "Aro.

"What to burn, can the fire break ignite the grain? You have to have something to help burn. ”

Ah Luo was stunned, but he didn't think of this, rice and barley are all granules, and they can't be lit with fire, something needs to be ignited, and straw and firewood are all made.

"But what are you looking for to start a fire?" Gongsun Lan asked.

"How could they defend the city without fire oil and the like? Even if you find a bucket, the matter is settled. Wang Yuan said in a low voice. Fire oil is the crude oil that comes out of the ground, and although it is not refined in these days, it is common to use it to defend the city. The rockets were soaked in fire oil, and it was not uncommon to pour fire oil and throw torches to burn the siege soldiers and horses during the defense of the city. The Tibetan kingdom was rich in this material, which was an important strategic material, and Wang Yuan believed that they must have stored this kind of thing.

The three of them climbed into these large houses through a narrow window one person high, and after landing on the ground, they searched around in the dark for a while, and found that there was no one guarding inside, and then they were relieved. So he blew on the fire, found a wind lamp hanging on the wall, lit it, blocked the light with his sleeve, and began to search. But after searching all over the warehouse, there were only some armor and weapons and other materials in this warehouse, but there was no fire oil to store.

The three of them refused to give up, and after coming out, they searched three large warehouses in a row, and finally saw dozens of round barrels in the corner of the last warehouse. Wang Yuan picked open the lid of the wooden barrel with his sword, and a strong smell came to his face, and the smell was extremely pungent. Inside was a black, viscous liquid, which was the oil I was looking for.

Wang Yuan was overjoyed and smiled: "Okay, with this thing, it's easy and happy to put on fire." Arlo stayed here, and my cousin and I went to set fire to the grain. ”

Luo said, "Why do you want me to stay here? ”

Wang Yuan said: "When my cousin and I burn down the granary, a large number of soldiers and horses will rush to reinforce it, and then you will ignite all the fire oil here, this is the biggest fire, let you put it, are you still not satisfied?" ”

"Very good, I'm going to turn this place into a sea of fire." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Remember to leave a few buckets to bring out, we are still useful." After the fire is ignited, assemble under the arrow tower. ”

Arlo nodded in agreement. Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and hugged two barrels of oil on his body, and said to Gongsun Lan: "Cousin, it's time for us to get down to business." ”

Gongsun Lan also reached out and lifted the two oil drums, and the two climbed out of the house and walked towards the granary in the middle. In the middle, there were Tibetan soldiers who constantly walked through the grain piles, but this kind of easy hiding terrain made it easy for Gongsun Lan to kill. After killing seven or eight defenders wandering among the heaps, more than a dozen of them were poured with oil, and the four barrels of oil were finally exhausted. But there is no need to pour fire oil on all the grain piles, as long as these ten grain piles are on fire, with the encouragement of the wind, the rest of the grain piles will not be spared.

"Let's split up and light the fire." Gongsun Lan said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan nodded, and the two blew the fire fold, starting to light the fire from the middle to the two ends. A moment later, the flames rose up, black smoke billowed into the sky, and two or three grain piles in the middle began to burst into flames. Soon after, more than a dozen grain piles began to burn under the help of fire oil and the urging of the wind, and the fire rose to the sky in a short time.

The granary was on fire, and the soldiers on the night patrol immediately shouted and shouted, and the patrolmen rang the gong, as did the guards on the surrounding arrow towers. The soldiers in the barracks, who were still in a dream, didn't know what was happening, so they hurriedly got up and left the barracks in a panic and stunned.

The grain pile in the middle has become a sea of fire, and the fire is several feet high, like a large burning torch. The gongs around were beating rapidly, and the generals scolded the soldiers to put out the fire, but how to save such a fire? The eyebrows and beards are scorched within the close proximity, who dares to get closer. In vain, they poured water into the fire from a distance. It's really called a drop in the bucket.

Soon after, a huge fire broke out in a storehouse, and the flames erupted, emitting puffs of thick black smoke and dust, reaching a height of seven or eight zhang at the highest, and the whole house was bathed in flames.

"That's the oil depot." Someone shouted in alarm.

Everyone who wanted to rush to fight the fire stopped, and the fire oil depot was on fire, and there was still a way to save it?

The wind helped the fire, and in a short period of time, the fire of the entire Xicheng granary material barracks broke out in the sky, illuminating half of the dark night sky.
