The camp in the field is surrounded by a wooden fence into a square, the length and width are about more than two hundred zhang, in the middle are several wooden buildings to live in, although there are only two floors, but each building can accommodate at least three or four hundred people, the four corners of the wooden fence are equipped with high sentry posts, the fire is bright above, the figure is shaking, obviously on the guard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sentry did not monitor the outside, after all, there were no searchlights in those years, and it was pitch black outside the camp, so they monitored the situation inside the camp, and if someone entered the camp at night, it was difficult to avoid their sight in the campfire.

As for the situation outside the wall, there are patrol teams to check, and if they find a stranger intruding, they can also signal the sentry in time, and then the sentry immediately sounds the gong and drum to wake up the sleeping defenders.

There seems to be no problem with this arrangement, but you also need to protect it with your heart!

This land has been built for twenty years, and then it has never been in a situation, and in the face of long days of boredom, although the defenders have changed batch after batch, they have become lazier than the others, so that the number of night patrolmen is not at least thirty percent of the original number!

Of course, in order to prevent the defenders from being lazy, Taiping Dao also placed Taoist priests to supervise the army, but Taoist priests are also people, especially Taoist priests of Taiping Dao, how many can be pure and have few desires to concentrate on cultivating in this mountainous land? Who doesn't want to open a Taoist temple outside to collect money, and marry a few Taoist couples to live a life of free race immortals.

At the beginning, the Taoist priests who were arranged to come over regarded this as a thankless chore, and there was no oil or water at all.

But over time, what doesn't taste bad? Not to mention people's thirst for money!

As a result, it has become an unwritten rule here to lie about the number of people and earn a capitation fee for the fornication of the defenders, and in addition, there are some Taoist priests who privately make the Awakening God Pill to seek money from it, although if this matter is discovered by the top, the punishment is almost equal to the capital crime, but it still can't stop the people who die for money!

In a long-term corrupt environment, it is not only the vigilance that is weakened, whether it is the combat strength of the defenders or the human nature, it has almost reached the point of fragility, after all, living in this sea of flowers full of addiction and drugs, how many people can come out cleanly?

Under the arrangement of Zhong Xiaoshi, eight of them were divided into four groups, and they were scattered to the sentry post in the dead corner of the camp, which was dark under the lamp, and it was said that the people on the sentry could not find it, even if it was the people on the opposite sentry, it was not easy to see the situation here, after all, it was two hundred zhang apart, and it was late at night, and people were easily sleepy when they were bored, and their concentration almost dropped to freezing.

The rest of the people were divided into groups of three, one carrying a barrel full of lard and the other two carrying bales of hay, crouching under the fence with full vigilance, ready to rush in and start the action.

Zhang Dagui doesn't have the same vigorous skills as them, but it doesn't mean that he has nothing to do, he also brought more than a dozen brothers from Tianmu Hall this time to help carry them, and the rest are responsible for watching the wind and warning and monitoring every move of the patrol.

In the middle of the night sky, the stars and moon were dim, and a flowing cloud quietly blocked the already dim moonlight.

At the same time, the disciples of the Xingtang under the four sentry posts climbed up to the posts almost at the same time, and although they were immediately exposed to the firelight in black clothes, no one paid attention to them at this moment, because the time was too short, and in the blink of an eye, the four of them had already gone up to the sentry platform and shot at the four sleepy guards!

Zhong Xiaoshi didn't look at his head, just by the silent response he knew that the brothers had succeeded, so he immediately waved his hand, and the group behind him was in groups of three or three, throwing and pulling, and in an instant the two went up to the wooden fence, and the remaining one person immediately threw the hay to them, and at the same time threw the rope out of his waist, and the two people on the fence caught the hay and threw it inside, and finally pulled the rope at the same time, and pulled the companion carrying the oil drum on the fence.

This series of actions was almost all completed in a few breaths, and when they were all inside the fence, and half a pillar of incense time had passed, the patrol had entered from here.

At this moment, if this group of patrols is vigilant enough, even if they can't find Zhang Dagui and the others lurking in the warbler field next to them, they will inevitably find that there are more impossibly fine hay and messy footprints on the muddy ground nearby.

However, they all had heavy eyelids, yawned, and between a few small words of small talk, a smile was gone.

And at this moment in the camp, a group of black-clothed people scattered in twos and threes, smearing the wooden building with dry grass and oil, although from time to time there will be patrols coming back to rest, but every time before they enter the camp, this group of black-clothed people retreats like a tide and disappears without a trace!

Half an hour later, a thick smoke suddenly rose from all around the camp, and the smoke spread quickly with the smell of burnt oil, and before the sleeping defenders could notice, a bright fire followed!

The fire came so fiercely that it rained down on the sky and flooded the entire camp in an instant, and when the sleeping defenders found it, they could only shout and scream, and they did not have time to put on their clothes, and fled from the wooden buildings.

"Don't panic, hurry, put out the fire for me." The defending generals were so shocked and angry that they didn't have time to think about how the fire was burning for a while.

"But in the capital, most of the wooden barrels containing water are in the back warehouse, but the fire there is the largest, and it has not been taken out at all." One of the soldiers said in horror.

"Then smash the barn for me, tear down a fence and erect it on it, rush in and take out the bucket for me." The general immediately thought of a countermeasure and issued it at the same time.

At this time, another group of Taoist priests rushed over, shouting that there were still people trapped in the building, and let the general lead people to rescue.

The trapped are Taiping Taoist priests, these Taoist priests are disciples of the state religion, one by one is arrogant and domineering, greedy for money, although they are as timid as a mouse, but they also care about the lives of their companions, but when the generals listen to their words, they are angry.

Money, or for money, most of the savings of these Taoist priests are almost hidden in the wooden building where they live, if it is burned by a fire, then what are they selling the Awakening Pill for all these years?

And the most important thing is the inventory of the Awakening Pill, if even this batch of goods is burned, it can be supplied there in a short time!

The former is gone, and the latter is definitely taking his life!

The generals also had to help them, after all, he had a lot of oil and water from it, all of them were on the same boat, today's fire not only burned the camp, but also probably his future, if there is no help from these Taoist priests afterwards, the consequences are unimaginable.

And if you want to threaten them, the general should not think about it, he is not stupid, he knows very well that after this fire, all the evidence will be wiped out, and it is impossible to say that it can be counted anymore.

This has to fight fires, save people, and help the Taoist priest get back the money, even if there are thousands of defenders in the entire camp, they can't be busy at all.

As soon as the Zhongzhai fire started, almost all the teams patrolling outside immediately rushed back, how could they notice that a group of black-clothed people appeared in the warbler field in the east!

The men were well-trained, and their movements were almost unisonant, and they pounced on the rows of warblers on sticky lard-smeared hay.

"It's not enough, this is far from enough, Hall Master Zhang, I bother to ask your people to go to the nearby forest to collect wood immediately, whether it is dry or wet, as long as it can be burned."

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it." Zhang Dagui is also shrewd, after Zhong Xiaoshi and others entered the camp, he led people to turn back and collect firewood.

The disciples of Tianmu Hall who are not from poor backgrounds, and the kung fu of chopping wood and chopping wood is a small skill, and the action is extremely profitable.

Soon, batches of timber were delivered, and although many of the timbers were green and wet, none of them knew that in a powerful fire, there was no wood that could not be burned, so they would spend huge manpower and financial resources to refine hundreds of barrels of lard.

Chang Chenggong looked at the actions of this group of people, and his heart was dripping blood!

The price of oil is extremely expensive in these years, it can be said that they are burning money, but Chang Chenggong also knows that if there are no hundreds of barrels of oil, this fire really can't burn!

Looking at the blazing camp again, suddenly, Chang Chenggong seemed to see something, and hurriedly said to Zhang Dagui beside him: "The wind is up, or the east wind." ”

"What, Dongfeng!" Zhang Dagui was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned Zhong Xiaoshi to come over.

"Don't be happy yet, the old man said, in this spring, the east wind is up, the rain is flying, in case it rains, it's not good." Zhong Xiaoshi frowned.

But it was late at night, and they couldn't see the clouds in the sky clearly, but even if it was going to rain, judging from the daytime situation, the rain would definitely not come in three or five hours, and even if there were, it would only be a light rain.

And if they can take advantage of this wind, their fire will surely burn more vigorously and quickly!

"I think that the officers and soldiers of the camp are too busy, in order to ensure that in case, it is better to use ignition!" Chang Chenggong said suddenly.

"Ignition?" Zhang Dagui and Zhong Xiaoshi were both stunned, obviously unable to understand Chang Chenggong's words in a short time.

Chang Chenggong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "It's to burn the fire first, with the wind, we add firewood and refuel step by step in front, and lead the fire step by step to the downwind place, so that you can also observe the fire, there must be many places that can be burned without adding so much wood and oil, save some, after all, this land is very wide, and you must always leave some precautions." ”

Zhang Dagui and Zhong Xiaoshi understood as soon as they heard it, and immediately nodded in agreement.

In this way, in addition to being tired and not resting for a moment, there is only the danger of being discovered by the officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers have no time to care about them now, they really don't care about the fire and kill, can't they still escape if they can't fight, once they enter the mountains and forests, the victory or defeat is not certain!

However, he was still very worried about being pinned down by the officers and soldiers, after all, they were here to set fires, if they fought with the officers and soldiers, where would they have time to set fires, if they waited until the other side's reinforcements arrived, this mission would be a complete failure!

Zhong Xiaoshi was obviously too cautious, he forgot that his camps were burned down by him, and the defenders didn't even have time to wear clothes, so there was time to get weapons!

Even if there are thousands of them, most of them are unarmed, and if they really fight in this valley, they may not lose with their combat strength.

It just so happened that Chang Chenggong also saw through this, and immediately mentioned it, Zhong Xiaoshi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally did not refuse, and directly instructed Zhong Xiaoyi: "Second brother, tell everyone to rest, and when you are full of food and drink, immediately set fire." ”

A group of people quickly entered a state of repair, and the people on the other side of the camp were not enough to get to the east at all, and they were still trying their best to extinguish the fire in the camp, but this fire was not an ordinary fire, but a fire smeared with oil, and once it burned, it would be of no use at all with today's fire extinguishing methods.

Although the defending generals are also aware of this, if he doesn't make a difference, he will go back in disgrace, and he will definitely be greeted by the monstrous anger of Taiping Dao!

Suddenly, one of his subordinates rushed over to him and said anxiously: "Dutong, big, it's a big deal, Dong ...... There's a fire on the east side of the east! ”

"What? Where is there a fire in the east? The general immediately looked to the east, and sure enough, he found that there was a fire, but this fire was a fire in the wooden building on the east side of the camp, and it had already burned there, so why should it be reported?

But then, when the soldier's words made the general wake up instantly, his heart almost jumped out of his throat with fright.

The warbler is on fire!

This thing, but the most important thing in Taiping Dao, the camp can be rebuilt if it is gone, but if the warbler corn is gone, Taiping Dao will definitely click him without hesitation!
