The group followed the direction pointed out by the Tatar soldiers and found all the land in the hay shed. The troops sent by the rabbit this time, together with the team of the rabbit, there are nearly 100,000 people, and the supply required for people to eat and feed the horses is huge. The Tatar army did not have a unified logistics department, and each tribe was responsible for preparing grain and grass, transporting and storing it by itself. The forage shed that Shi Xiangui and the others found was a relatively large tribe where grain and grass were stored. When they approached, they found that dozens of Tatar soldiers were guarding the fodder shed, apparently fearing that something would happen and the grain and grass would be damaged.

"Master Shi, this must be their forage shed, how can we burn it?" Su He asked Shi Xiangui in a low voice.

Shi Xiangui took out a cylinder about an inch in diameter and about half a foot long from his pocket, fiddled with it, and then handed it to Su He's hand and asked, "Su He, is there a way for you to stuff this thing into their hay pile without letting the other party find out?" ”

"Just stuff it in?" Su He asked.

Shi Xiangui said: "Yes, as long as you stuff it into the hay pile, your task is complete." You can rest assured that this thing won't burn right away, and you'll have plenty of time to get out. ”

"Then I'll give it a try." Su He said.

So saying, Su He urged his horse to come to the guards of the forage shed, and said a few Tatar words to them in a loud voice, which meant nothing more than that he had just returned from a patrol, and the horse was hungry, and asked the guards to give his horse some forage. The Tatars have always had a tradition of mutual aid, and it is normal for others to ask for some forage, and it is generally inconvenient for others to refuse.

Sure enough, after listening to Su He, a person who looked like a military general walked over. He briefly interrogated Su He for a few words, and then pointed to the hay shed, signaling that Su He could go in and decorate some hay to feed the horses.

Shi Xiangui took two soldiers from the survey camp to hide in the dark where the Songming torch could not shine, watching Su He's every move. I saw Su He jumping off the horse unhurriedly and tearing a cloth bag from the horse's back. Walk radially towards the hay shed. After a while, he came out of the shed with half a sack of hay, thanked the Tatar general, and then mounted his horse and set off.

Shi Xiangui and the others saw the direction of Su He's departure and urged the horse to follow. When everyone came to a place where people were backed, Shi Xiangui asked anxiously: "How is it, Su He, is it done?" ”

"It's done, it's done, military master." Su He said. "I took the opportunity to go in and load the hay and stuffed that toy in the middle of a pile of hay, can the military master see it?"

"Well done!" Shi Xiangui patted Su He's shoulder, "After I go back, I will go to General Su to ask for a reward for you, and for your merits, at least 20 taels of snowflakes and silver can be rewarded." ”

Su He's eyes lit up: "Is that really the case?" That's great. By the way, Master Jun, I just stuffed that thing in. I didn't see any movement in it, but it can really set fire? ”

Shi Xiangui said with a smile: "That game was made by our General Su Bing, and it is called a delayed torch. When I give it to you, pull the strings. After an hour, it will burn on its own, and it will be able to reimburse the hay for the shed. ”

"What a magical treasure this is!" Su He sighed.

The magical treasure that Su He said was actually nothing more than a glass tube filled with concentrated sulfuric acid, potassium permanganate and starch. The various substances are separated by metal sheets, and they cannot touch each other. When in use, the operator pulls open a loop. The concentrated sulfuric acid is in contact with the metal sheet, and after a period of time, the metal sheet will be corroded to create a hole, so that several substances can be mixed, and a chemical reaction occurs, producing a large amount of heat and causing a fire.

Such a principle, Shi Xiangui and they naturally couldn't explain it clearly, but they were used to all kinds of novel objects designed by Su Hao, and they were not the slightest surprised when they saw such things.

"Let's go, let's go find the next hay shed." Shi Xiangui said to everyone, and the group rode horses and ran to other places.

A dozen detachments of the reconnaissance battalion collided in the east and west of the Tatar army's main camp, and when they encountered an important target, they threw down a few torches and waited for it to play its role. After nearly an hour, the crowd estimated that the flare-up was about to flare up, and then they hurried out of the Tatar camp and ran into the pitch-black wilderness. They walked back and forth from the camp and finally left the camp without attracting any attention from the Tatar army, for the composition of this process, which was made up of many tribes, was so complicated that no one knew who came and went.

"Whew!"

In the middle of the night, just as the officers and men of the Tatar army were falling asleep, a flame suddenly rose in the middle of the camp. The location of the fire was in the middle of a hay shed, and in a blink of an eye, all the hay piled around was ignited, and the fire was blazing, and the night sky was suddenly red.

"What's going on!" Awakened in his sleep by the shouting outside, he rushed out to take a look in his clothes, only to see a camp in the distance blazing, accompanied by the noise of people turning over their horses, and it was a mess.

"Report! It was the forage shed in Mengen that caught fire, and now they are fighting the fire. The pro-soldier ran over and reported to the rabbit. As the commander's personal soldiers, they must be on top of everything in time to report to the manager.

"Why the fire?" Litu asked.

The soldier said: "It has not been ascertained yet, and it is speculated that it may be that the soldier Dian Songming accidentally burned the forage." ”

"Impossible! Someone must have set the fire, go and tell the leader of the Mengen tribe to tell him to seal off the camp and not allow anyone to enter and leave at will, and then search the entire camp to see if the Ming army has infiltrated the arson. The rabbit commanded.

"Order!" The soldiers agreed, mounted their horses and galloped away.

After giving the order, he turned around and was about to go back to the tent to continue sleeping, when he suddenly felt something flash in the corner of his eye, and he turned his head to look, only to see that in the other direction, another ball of fire burst out.

"Someone!" "Ride quickly to the camps, let the camps guard the gates, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving, especially the places where grain and grass are hoarded, and send more soldiers to guard them, so that not even a fly can fly in." The spies of the Ming army have infiltrated our camp and are waiting for an opportunity to set fire to our food and grass. We must not allow them to succeed. ”

"Understood!" A group of pro-soldiers agreed in unison, and then they mounted their horses and galloped to the camps.

It didn't take a hard time to explain, and saw that two camps were on fire, and the commanders of the other camps also felt that something was wrong. They immediately sent additional manpower to guard the various entrances to the camp, and at the same time sent a team of horses to patrol the camp one by one to check for unknown people to infiltrate.

However, their vigilance has slowed down a beat. Previously, they did not expect that the Ming army would come to sabotage, so they did not check the personnel entering and leaving. And by the time they began to be vigilant, the soldiers of the Survey Battalion had already finished their hands and feet and flew away.

"Boom-hoo!"

One after another, the grain and grass piles and forage sheds in each camp were ignited by hidden delayed flares. The fire devoured the Tatar army's precious food and grass, and also caused chaos in the Tatar army. Forage is inherently flammable, and once it burns, the fire is fierce and will quickly spread to the surrounding area, enveloping the soldiers' tents. For a time, the entire Tatar camp was filled with fires, soldiers fled in all directions, and war horses neighed miserably in the blazing fire.

When the fire broke out, all the generals were stunned. They had clearly sent additional sentries outside the hay shed, and it was impossible for anyone to get into the hay shed, but the fire started in the middle of the hay shed, and it was out of control when it burned.

"What's going on?"

The rabbit can no longer go back to sleep, the news of the probe horses like meteors in an endless stream, everyone reported the same news, that is, the food and forage in the camp burned without warning for no reason, before and after, did not see the shadow of the Ming army in the camp.

"Bi Bai, you have been in the Ming army for many years, do you know what weapons the Ming army has to set fire in the air?" The rabbit set his eyes on Bibai, who had just been summoned, and he thought that such a strange thing could only be explained by Bibai.

Bi Bai had never seen this kind of delayed ignition device, and he heard that the fire points everywhere were under strict monitoring, and it was impossible for anyone to get in, but the fire was inexplicably burning from the middle, and he was also confused.

"Great leader, as far as the general knows, there is no such weapon in the Ming army." Bibai replied.

"Then did this fire fall from the sky?" Litu asked.

Bibai shook his head: "So many places are on fire at the same time, this must not be because the soldiers are careless, but someone deliberately set the fire, so there will be such a scene." ”

"Nonsense, of course I knew someone was setting the fire. I'm asking you, there are all our people around, how can the Ming army mix in and set fires, and then they can retreat with their whole body in the aftermath, so that we can't catch them. Rabbit said.

"This ...... Ben really didn't know. Bibai said depressedly, he could guess that this must be some new weapon made by the survey camp, but the poor thing is that with his intelligence and insight, he really can't think of any kind of weapon that can remotely ignite other people's food and grass.

"What a crap!" The rabbit scolded viciously, and in a hurry, he didn't care about the false and wronged snakes, so he directly said what was in his heart.

A cold light flashed on Bibai's face, but he didn't say anything. He knew that he had less than a thousand men and horses left, and now he was under the fence, and he had no capital to compete with the rabbit. He has a plan to replace the Rabbit, but it will take a long time to come to fruition, and now he can only accept the humiliation of the Rabbit.

"You go down, take your people, and go to patrol outside the camp to prevent the Ming army from taking advantage of the chaos to rob the camp." Rabbit said.

"The last general obeys!" He said yes and withdrew from the big tent of the rabbit. (To be continued......)
