In the backyard of Ao Cangling's Mansion, although the sound of shouting and killing here still came from afar, after all, there was a silence under the noise from a floor apart.
Ao Cangling said to an old woman in front of him: "Huan'er, you go first. I'll be there then. ā
The old woman was Ao Cangling's wife, she was holding a jue wine in her hand, but she couldn't drink it for a long time, and said, "Husband, is the child really every way?" ā
She was not afraid of death, but she did not want to see her son and grandson die.
Ao Cangling said: "My Bai family has been Qin Qingxiang for generations, the only one who eats the king, and today he is the only one who dies, and our family is on the road together, and it is also a little lively." ā
At this time, Mrs. Bai believed that the matter was irreparable, sighed, and did not speak, but drank the wine with a decisive pride.
Ao Cangling said: "You are still the same as before? ā
Madame Bai couldn't answer his words anymore, only to see Madame Bai's body soften, and she fell to the ground obliquely, Ao Cangling hurriedly held on, but saw Madame Bai's eyes last glance at Ao Cangling, and then closed her eyes.
Breathing stopped, the White Lady was dead.
As if he hadn't noticed, Ao Cangling gently took Madame Bai in his arms and walked to the back.
Not far behind is a large warehouse.
The things in this warehouse are the most important things in Aocang, and nothing else is grain.
But the grain here was greasy, wet, and apparently oiled. Ao Cangling reclined Madame Bai on a grain stomping, took out a torch from the outside, and lit the surrounding grain stomping one by one.
How could he not know? Why is this place being watched by people, not for anything else, but for the food here, how can he let them get their wish? Ao Cang Ling has long prepared a backup means in case he can't hold Ao Cang. Here it is.
The granaries in Ao Cang are dense, a large part of them are cellars, but some of them are hidden in the granaries, and Ao Cang Ling wants to build a granary in his own backyard, because this is the middle of Ao Cang City, where the fire is ignited, no matter whether it is blowing the southeast and northwest winds, it can quickly spread to the whole city.
In the Ao warehouse, there is a lot of grain, and the grain is naturally dry goods, and when it is picked up by the fire, it will burn immediately. When the time comes, the city will be on fire, and there will be no food left, and those who want to get food in Aocang can only get a piece of ruins.
Ao Cang ordered the west to kneel and bowed: "The minister Bai Cheng will not live up to Qin in the end." He pulled out a dagger with his backhand and plunged it into his chest. Then he struggled a few steps, came to Madame Bai's side, and fell to the ground suddenly, his head fell lightly on Madame Bai's shoulder, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Once the flame is released, it does not stop burning on its own because of the life or death of a living being.
Flames rose from the four sides of the grain stamping, and finally gathered together, and the flames burned through the roof of the house, and rose several feet into the air, which could be seen from dozens of miles away for a time.
Ao Cang ordered a fire in the backyard of the mansion, and the people fighting desperately in front of him stopped suddenly. A middle-aged man said to the soldiers beside him: "Now that the general trend is gone, there is no return, you want to surrender as soon as possible." Staying by my side is a dead end. ā
None of the soldiers around him moved, and one of them said: "Captain, what you said is too late, we have already killed so many of them, how can they let us go, rather than lay down their weapons and be killed, it is better to fight to the death." ā
The lieutenant's eyes swept away, his eyes were sour, and he couldn't help but cry, there were dozens of old brothers around him, and the rest of the Qin soldiers either died or fled. Only the old brothers who follow him will never give up.
At this moment, Canghai Jun was furious, and gave an order, saying, "Crossbow arrows shoot them." ā
These people who insisted on not surrendering to the end, although Canghai Jun had some admiration in his heart, but at this moment, he had no mercy at all. Before coming to Aocang, Wei Wuji told him thousands of words, and a thousand words could be turned into one word, which was food.
It can be said that everything else in Aocang can be lost, except for the grain, which must be preserved, otherwise it will become meaningless to sneak attack Aocang.
Canghaijun saw that someone set fire to the grain, and there was still time to grind there. At the sound of an order, there were naturally dozens of crossbow arrows stretched out from all around, aiming at these last Qin troops, and after a burst of crossbow arrows, none of the Qin troops could survive.
Canghai Jun strode to the place where the flames rose, and he didn't feel a wave of heat rushing over him. It's already sweating down your spine before you know it.
Beneath the flames was a large warehouse, which had now burned through, and the heat was rolling so hot that people were afraid to approach it.
Canghaijun didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked people to prepare to put out the fire, but he had just gotten off Aocang City, and he was unfamiliar with the place, and he couldn't even find the tools to extinguish the fire, and he didn't even know where there was a water source. How to put out the fire is simply a yarn.
When Canghaijun was already looking for tools to extinguish the fire, Wei Wuji had already hurried over, Wei Wuji turned over and dismounted, Canghaijun immediately stepped forward to ask for guilt, Wei Wuji waved his hand and signaled that he would talk later. The most important issue now is to extinguish the fire.
Before Wei Wuji could come up with any way to extinguish the fire, a gust of wind suddenly came from the big river, which swayed the flames uncontrollably, and the long flames almost burned the warehouse to the south.
Wei Wuji couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that there was no wind today. The warehouses of the Terror South City have long been set on fire.
Wei Wuji didn't care about anything else, and said, "Quick, tear down all the surrounding buildings." ā
The people didn't know why, but when they should have put out the fire, they came to demolish the house. However, military orders cannot be violated. Everyone rushed out, some got it, some dismantled the wood.
But after a while, there was a plop, and the roof of the warehouse on the south side was removed.
After a while, a separation zone was cleared out of the surroundings, and Wei Wuji was a little relieved.
It's just that he finally looked at the burning warehouse, looking at the specifications of this warehouse, there were at least hundreds of stones of grain, and it was burned like this, which made Wei Wuji feel distressed.
However, the warehouse that has completely burned can no longer accommodate anyone to put out the fire, and splashing it with water in a container is a drop in the bucket, and it is useless, so I have to wait for it to go out on its own.
Wei Wuji didn't close his eyes all night, and the first half of the night was because he appeased the troops and sorted out the ordnance. And in the second half of the night, I was thinking about how to act after taking Ao Cang. It was only when it was almost dawn that Wei Wuji fell asleep groggily. handed over some chores to Chen Ping, and with Chen Ping's skills, it was naturally not a problem.
Wei Wuji hadn't slept for long before Chen Ping woke up Wei Wuji and said, "The Chu army is here." ā
