Chapter Twenty-Six: Burn Out

The quaint street buildings, near the city wall, have all been brought up by the fire in the granary, and Yang Zan and Leng Wu quickly left the scene after just one look, and they had to quietly evacuate this place to ensure the safety of the rest of the personnel.

Leng Wu turned her head, only glanced at it quickly, and then pursed her lips and smiled, at this time she felt a little happy in the bottom of her heart, those murderers of her sister and friend were being consumed by the fire little by little, and they were dying in their sleep.

The wind blew, the fire suffocated, and the smell of the fire oil was also disgusting, and the black-clothed Tanhua sprinkled a lot of fire oil on top of the grain and other surroundings, and the fire here had already been ignited, and they sprinkled the fire oil in the rest of the place, and when they evacuated, they quickly threw the fire fold on the ignition of the fire oil pile.

"Puff puff", the sparks on the other side use the wind power and the excellent ignition properties of the fierce fire oil to devour the surrounding wooden buildings.

"Let's go, our battle with them isn't over yet." Yang Zan felt that the temperature around him had risen suddenly, and the smell of fierce fire oil was pungent, making people smell a little suffocating, Yang Zan immediately took Leng Wu's hand and immediately ran away.

Leng Wu glanced back, and some tall buildings suddenly began to fall, and they collapsed with a bang.

The weather is dry, the early spring is the driest time, and tonight's warm breeze has become an executioner, fueling everything.

The fire continued to spread, and the wooden buildings were ignited and beeped.

The temperature of the flames was extremely high, and the strong wind pushed the flames towards the Liao army camp on the east side of the pass.

The sky was bright, and those who didn't know thought it was dawn.

In the middle of the night, a soldier who came out to pee in the Liao army camp had untied his trouser belt and sprinkled a soak of urine on the ground, at this time, a heat wave blew, the soldier shivered, raised his head and saw that the sky was fiery red, he shook his urine and got his hands and pants.

"Fireβ€”" The wind blew the fire towards the barracks, and his sleepy eyes widened as he woke up.

That was the location of the granary, the granary was on fire, the soldier was stunned, and then spread his thighs and quickly headed towards the place where Xiao Siwen and Gao Xun lived.

Xiao Siwen and Gao Xun did not live in the big camp, but in the official mansion of Jinpo Pass, and the place where the two lived was very close, because the two of them slept very soundly, they couldn't feel the changes around them at all, and in the past few days, Jinpo Pass was also peaceful, and there was no military report from the scouts that the Song army was going to attack the city.

The soldier quickly ran to the government office, and a soldier at the gate immediately blocked his way, "Which battalion are you from?" Why trespass here in the middle of the night, don't be foolish. ”

The soldier panicked, and his words were a little unclear, "Oh no, Deputy Xiao, there's something big going on in the granary, and there's a fire over there."

"What do you say?" The general immediately set off, and then ran towards Xiao Siwen's residence.

Xiao Siwen was woken up by the general guarding the mansion, and after he asked the reason, he immediately called the soldier in.

"What about Xiao Abudi?" Xiao Siwen got up from the couch and asked the soldier.

The soldier lowered his head tremblingly, his pants were still wet, it was urine stains, and at this moment he said word by word: "I don't know this little bottom, when I got up in the middle of the night, I saw a big fire in the granary in the distance, and I was going to go there, but the fire was too big to rush in." ”

Xiao Siwen asked sharply again: "I can't get in, how can this be so." What about Xiao Abudi, didn't he go to extinguish the fire? ”

The soldier didn't know it, and his head shook like a quail's egg,"

Xiao Siwen immediately summoned his henchmen Xiao A and Xiao B to lead the troops to the granary.

Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi had already led their soldiers to the granary.

The granary could no longer go in, Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi looked at the burning granary and said, "You go to fetch water soon, and if you can recover some losses, you can recover some." ”

When the Liao soldiers heard this, they immediately set off to get the barrels.

The fire is still spreading downwind, the surrounding buildings have collapsed, the temperature around the fire is still very high, the Liao army can't go in to put out the fire at all, and the water place in the pass is some distance from the granary, but they still carry wooden barrels to fetch water.

Buckets of well water had already been fought, but when the water was splashed on the oil, it suddenly became a huge flame, and some of the soldiers who were fighting the fire around were also involved.

God made a joke with them, and suddenly a barrel of fire oil was poured out directly, splashed away, and the flames of the fire suddenly rushed to a high place, and more than fifty Liao soldiers were caught in the fire, they jumped while shouting, or rolled on the ground, but the flames on their bodies swallowed them whole, they trembled, twisted their bodies, like dancing gods, and the rest of the people did not dare to approach, and the brave soldiers only used their clothes to help them extinguish the flames on their bodies, Even the flames that came into contact with the garment devoured it in one fell swoop, and the soldier threw it to the ground in fright.

Xiao Yi's eyes widened, and he knew that pouring from that barrel. The fire oil that came out, and this thing kept burning as soon as it encountered the fire, until it was burned out, he said to Xiao Jia: "The fire is too big, it can't be extinguished at all, Xiao Jia, what they have on them is fire oil." ”

Xiao Jia had also heard of this before, and he shook his head and said, "Fire oil, what can I do about this?" ””

Xiao Yi said helplessly: "Fire oil, I can't help it." Unless it's burned out. ”

"Ahh Help," cried out a soldier who had been engulfed in flames, rolling on the ground in despair, and then trying to extinguish the flames on his body, but the fire was too big, and the soldiers around him hid far away, fearing that they would also be consumed by the flames.

The rest of the soldiers watched as the soldiers engulfed in fire turned into charred corpses.

The fire ground became a crematorium.

Soon after, Xiao Siwen, Gao Xun and even several other important generals all rushed here, but saw the Liao soldiers standing in place, and on the side, there were several charred corpses that were burned by the fire and bubbling with oil, and they couldn't distinguish their appearances from top to bottom.

Xiao Siwen was stunned, and Gao Xun couldn't believe it.

Xiao Siwen's eyes widened angrily, Xiao Abudi was still inside, but when he saw the soldiers standing aside, idle, he was a little angry when he heard it, and at this moment he looked at the soldiers and said, "Why don't you wait to put out the fire?" ””

Xiao Jia and Xiao B immediately bowed their hands when they saw Xiao Siwen and said, "Stay behind, that's fire oil, you can't put it out at all." ”

At this moment, a general also admitted: "Stay behind, Gao Xianggong, the water will not be extinguished at all, and the grain and grass have all been burned." ”

When Xiao Siwen heard this, he said angrily: "Who did this, let the old man find out, it will definitely make you break your body into ten thousand pieces." Xiao Siwen fainted after saying this, and Gao Xun on the side immediately ordered someone to send Xiao Siwen back to the mansion.

Early the next morning, the fire in the granary and near the granary had been extinguished, but the residual temperature around it was still unabated

There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, the grain and baggage have all been burned, and only some traces of similar corpses can be found between the broken walls and ruins, among these traces, there is a lot of white gravel remaining, at this moment a soldier found a bronze medal from the white gravel, which is engraved with some Khitan characters.

"This is Xiao Linya's bronze medal!" The general picked up the bronze medal from the pile of white gravel and iron pieces, and shouted loudly, but the white gravel was blown by the wind, lifted up, and blew into the general's mouth, "Bah, Lao Tzu should really be bad luck and eat the ashes of the dead." ”

He spit out the ashes in his mouth, then patted the ashes on the armor, and put the bronze medal in his pocket, this bronze medal was the last relic left by Xiao Abudi in this world, as for the white gravel cowhide armor only left some pieces of iron.

Xiao Abudi has been found, he and the rest of the soldiers' ashes have been collected in batches, Xiao Siwen saw the bronze medal and the bad news, has been beating his chest on the sickbed, now everything has been turned into ashes, Xiao Siwen still doesn't know how the other party entered the pass, but Xiao Siwen feels that there are probably spies of the Song army in the Liao army, otherwise how to get in, and how to burn grain and grass.

Now that the grain and grass are scarce, and the Song army is eyeing Yizhou, Xiao Siwen doesn't know what to do, and it will take one or two days to transfer grain from the nearest Flying Fox and Zhuozhou, but the current situation is that there is no grain and grass in the entire north, and they have no way to start.

Xiao Siwen thought about it in his heart, and struggled a little, he suddenly remembered that he originally planned to retreat back to Youzhou, but now that the grain and grass are gone, not to mention, he also lost his henchmen and relatives in Jinpo Pass, Xiao Siwen felt a little distressed when he thought about it.

At this moment, Gao Xun came outside the house, he looked sad, and entered the house, Gao Xun saw Xiao Siwen lying on the bed, and he hurriedly asked, "Xiao stays behind." ”

When Xiao Siwen saw Gao Xun coming, he raised his eyes and hurriedly asked, "Gao Xianggong, how is the situation in the gate now?" ”

Gao Xun shook his head and didn't say anything, now in this situation, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it.

Xiao Siwen also understood what Gao Xun meant, he straightened up from the bed, and then said: "Gao Xianggong, what countermeasures do you have now, do you want to mobilize grain and grass from the north or abandon the north?" ”

Gao Xun thought for a while, and he said: "If the north is still there, do you have to remember what kind of person our majesty is?" ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Siwen smiled bitterly, "North can still preserve our strength, but it can't pass his level, I also know what you mean, but what can we do now?" ”

Gao Xun said: "We can support it for a few days without food and grass, so we might as well withdraw the flying fox and wait and see what happens." On the side of the Song army, they naturally thought that we had fled in the wilderness, and they would also send troops to occupy this place, and we could also rely on the flying fox when the time came, and then we would make a plan. ”

"That's the only way to do it now." Xiao Siwen heard this and nodded.
