Chapter 140: The Burning of the Granary
ps: After all the five watches were sent, I went to sleep, and I didn't sleep all night last night.
The Great Bel Deshan, who was guarding Bauktu, lay down early when it was dark. Although the early winter in the north is dark, the hour is not far from the time for bedtime. Just after a few more drinks during the day, I became a little sleepy.
At this time, some people entered the tent because they saw the last delivery party coming. But when he saw that Dai Shan had slept well, he didn't tell him, and he wouldn't ask about such a trivial matter.
Niu Lu, who was guarding at the gate of the camp, just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. He just felt that the faces of these people were not very familiar, of course he was not familiar, because this was Liu Tichun's people, and they had already changed into Zhenghongqi's clothes.
This Niu Lu asked, "What about Zhang Jiala?" He knew Zhang Jiala, who had been responsible for escorting grain and grass.
"No, he's discussing something with our big shopkeeper!" A fellow came out from the grain team to speak, pointing to the back.
Niu Lu turned his head and looked in the direction of the guy's finger, and saw some people with red flags behind him, and some people from the caravan, who seemed to be discussing something.
Niu Lu relieved himself, walked to the granary with the grain team as usual, and sent someone to call the officials who were in charge of the baggage.
The one who manages the baggage is also a Jia La, he is drinking, and when he heard that the grain team is coming, he is very unhappy, and scolds and scolds, "Damn, don't come early, don't come late, just catch Lao Tzu to drink!" But he had no choice but to get up and walk in the direction of the granary.
The leader of the baggage ordered the granary to be opened in a daze. scolded, "Put the grain inside, it's all neatly placed for Lao Tzu!" ”
He didn't weigh it, but the grain was in good bags. The weight is uniform, the eight families are profitable, but they are very reputable, the amount of grain is never less, and it gradually becomes a rule, and there is no need to weigh it. This is like the current rice and white flour, or a bag of 50 catties or a bag of 20 catties. There are standards.
At this time, the handlebar type will be the last dozen carts of the grain team. Under the protection of the guards, the cars were driven to the doors of the various granaries. The felt cloth of the cart was lifted, and there were many jars inside.
"What's that?" The drunken leader asked. In addition to the people of the grain delivery team, he and the guards Niu Lu also gathered a lot of soldiers who escorted the food team.
"Kerosene." Said the people around him.
The baggage boss surrounds the people around him. Strangely said, "There is no kerosene in this trip!" What about the treasurer of the stewards? What about Zhang Jiala? Why are you so raw? ”
The people around pointed to the door, but saw that the person who seemed to be Zhang Jiala at the door suddenly raised his knife and led more than 200 people around him to cut at the soldiers guarding the camp gate.
The baggage boss and the gatekeeper Niu Lu were startled, no, there was something strange about this, they wanted to shout for help. But in this moment, they and their men were cut down before they could make a sound.
When the baggage leader fell to the ground, he suddenly realized that these strange soldiers must be enemies! But he understood a little later.
Meanwhile. The handlebars and men who drove the cart quickly took the blankets off the cart and quickly poured kerosene into the granary and around the granary. They quickly lit kerosene with torches in the granary camp, and the fire burst into flames. The granary full of grain quickly burst into flames!
Under the leadership of Pan Chao. A group of soldiers dressed in red flags galloped quickly to the fence, which contained horses. They opened the fence and poked the horses in the buttocks with knives, and the horses were in pain and ran around like crazy.
And then the alarm went off. I heard someone keep shouting, oh no. "Someone hijacked the camp!"
But at this moment, the fire was raging, whirring in the cold wind.
Liu Tichun's soldiers were still wearing the armor of the Red Banner, and they and hundreds of soldiers pretending to be buddies had already mounted their horses. Everyone had torches in their hands, and under the command of Liu Tichun, they rushed all over the camp, burning things when they saw them. The whole camp was turned into a sea of fire!
Dai Shan was dreaming, and suddenly heard that someone had robbed the camp, and he couldn't help but be furious, who ate the leopard's gall? Dare to rob my camp!
At this moment, a torch was thrown on his tent, and his tent was quickly burned.
Dai Shan didn't care about it, dressed in small clothes, and drove out with a knife. Dai Shan was stunned, where is the robbery?
But listening to the sound of drums, more than a thousand soldiers with red flags escorted hundreds of ordinary people on horseback and ran outside the camp!
Dai Shan understood, this must be a sneak attacker dressed as a red flag soldier. But Dai Shan did not order the soldiers to chase after him, he looked at the raging fire in the granary, and shouted frantically, "Quickly put out the fire!" Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
The fire-fighting facilities of the entire granary camp are extremely complete, and the sand and soil in the bags have long been prepared. When there is a fire, it can be extinguished by covering it with earth. There are also a lot of large vats, which are filled with water, so that they can still be extinguished when the fire comes.
There are even a few water wheels, but the weather is cold and the water has started to freeze, but it can still be used.
It's a pity that these things can only extinguish small fires. In the face of the fire in front of you, even if people can't even reach the granary, how can they save it?
Ignited by the abundant kerosene, and after a period of delay, the grain in the granary was already crackling with fire, and the flames were scurrying. A cold wind blew, the wind borrowed the fire, the fire helped the wind, and the fire turned into a sea of fire, burning the black night sky red!
The big Belle Daishan, who was wearing a small coat, looked at the firelight in the cold wind, shivering incessantly, and his forehead was full of dense beads of sweat, he knew that it was over! All the food is gone!
Imagining Huang Taiji's severe punishment, Dai Shan's sweat was almost soaked, and Dai Shan spread it on the ground.
Liu Tichun rushed out of Daishan's camp with people, and he counted the number of people, one is not a lot, which is very good, so as to prevent anyone from being caught and affecting the money in Zhangjiakou.
Liu Tichun put his mind at ease and continued to walk forward. Not far ahead, a hundred or so people were eagerly looking this way, and they also saw the fire.
These people were ordered by Liu Tichun to stay here, and there are more than a thousand war horses here, which are the horses that killed the Zhenghongqi Grain Guard Team yesterday. In addition to watching the horses, these more than 100 people have already boiled boiling water, cooked a meal, and waited for Liu Tichun and them to return.
"Master Liu, it's done?" A soldier asked Liu Tichun.
"It's done! Let's burn all their food! Liu Tichun said happily.
Everyone cheered, busy making the water, putting the dry food on the table, and Liu Tichun and the others ate it in a big gulp.
Seeing that everyone was full, Liu Tichun stood up and ordered, "All get on the horse and get ready to go!" ”
A soldier asked, "Master Liu, Houjin's granaries have been burned by us, are you still in a hurry?" ”
Liu Tichun nodded: "Urgent!" Very urgent! Then the Jin soldiers must be attacking Xikou Pass now, and the tiger master must be fighting with them! We have to hurry back and help the tiger master kill the enemy! We all have two horses now, and we must be able to kill them back! ”
Liu Tichun waved his hand, the horse's hooves sounded, and the 1,500 cavalry rushed towards the direction of Xikou Pass at a gallop! (To be continued)
