Chapter 60: Who Will Take the Great Head (3)
"Liu Xuanmen has arrived!"
After each sound, there was a feast of blood and flame.
The goal of each Ranger is clear - kill all the soldiers in a tent, then set it on fire, and then converge in the direction of the pontoon.
Before each tent, torches were burned. This skill was used for lighting by patrol guards, but now it was the best tool for arson for rangers.
The small half of the camp was in flames in an instant. Some of the soldiers of the New Army, who were lucky enough not to die, fled from the camp in a frenzy, letting out terrible wails.
This raid can be regarded as a complete success, even more successful than Liu Xuan had expected.
Behind the pontoon, the guards here were too lax.
As the tents in the camp were lit, the rangers who had successfully achieved their predetermined goals also gathered in the direction of the pontoon bridge again, each holding a torch in their hands.
"Burn!"
"Lord! Wait! Liu Xuan coldly gave the order, but just as the ranger under his command was about to throw the torch on the pontoon bridge, a ranger rushed out of the camp from a distance, ran in front of Liu Xuan, and knelt on one knee: "The subordinates found a large amount of grain and grass in the depths of the camp......
He didn't continue, because the decision could only be made by Liu Xuan.
"Take me to see it."
Liu Xuan gave a brief command and followed the ranger in the direction he had come.
Grain and grass! Grain and grass! Grain and grass!
Liu Xuan's heart began to beat wildly. In the center of the camp, in front of him, countless grain carts were piled up, and there was almost no end in sight.
Wang Mu ...... You're smart but you're being mistaken by cleverness! ”
In an instant, Liu Xuan understood Wang Mu's intentions.
Wang Mu was also worried that the camp would be attacked, but his attention was only on the camp on the south bank. In order to be in good proper, most of the grain and grass were not transported to the south bank, but were left in the rear camp in the middle of the north bank. He thought that the army had blocked the five pontoon bridges, and in the middle of winter, there would be no danger in the rear camp across Huang Chunshui, but this just gave Liu Xuan the greatest opportunity.
The results of this time were far more abundant than Liu Xuan could have predicted.
"Change your plans, postpone crossing the bridge, burn me all!"
Although time was limited, and the pontoon bridge had to be cut off before the main force of the new army on the south bank could react, it was impossible for Liu Jiu to give up in the face of such a good piece of fat.
The rangers, who had already gathered at the pontoon bridge, gathered again at the grain wagon, half of them hunted the soldiers in the camp separately to make sure they did not regroup and launch a counterattack, and the other half set fire to the granary under Liu Xuan's orders.
One by one, the grain trucks were set on fire. Even though there was no fuel, the tongues of fire began to burn and lick happily.
Fortunately, the grain trucks here are almost tightly packed together for ease of transportation. When all the grain trucks were in flames, not only were the soldiers still in disarray, but even the camp on the south bank did not react much.
"Let's go!" Liu Xuan looked at the sky-high fire in front of him with satisfaction, felt the thrill of scorching heat for a moment, and then turned his head and led the rangers to step onto the pontoon bridge and rush towards the south bank.
When the last ranger ran across the pontoon, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Liu Xuan's mouth. One hundred and sixty rangers, not a single one was lost.
With a slam of his hand, he slashed the chains on the pontoon, then turned around, letting the planks behind him float downstream.
"Liu Ji, don't let me down!"
