Chapter 154: Burning of Merchant Ships

What Qianyu decided to do was not something that Zhao Xi could change with a word of refusal, but she couldn't resist him and promised to bring one more person, so she took two more courageous brothers out of the barracks without hiding from the battalion commander, leaving Zhao Xi in the barracks to carry them for them.

Zhao Xi gave Qianyu a map containing the route that the munitions and carriages had to travel, and prepared various things for her that could or could not be used, such as smoke balls and smoke covers, and fake blood for escape in case of danger, but Qianyu didn't ask for this thing.

The three of them went out of the barracks all the way to the south, passing outside the city of Yongzhou, there is a river outside the city, this river is the border river between the two countries of Southern Chu, and it is also the only way to and from the merchant ships, they only have three people, and they are not good at water, so they can only wait for them to dock on land.

They waited in the barracks for nearly half a month, and now they had to wait until they reached the river, and the three of them stared at each other, not daring to blink their eyes, and any wind and grass on the shore could not escape their eyes, especially the large cargo ships that docked, they stared closely.

After two days of waiting, the emperor finally waited for the boat they were waiting for, it was a relatively special boat, which could be recognized by one side, which was also told by Zhao Xi in advance, and they chose to dock at night, unfortunately it was Qianyu standing guard at that time.

In order to prevent mistakes, Qianyu went to the docks for a walk, she smelled the pungent smell from the boatmen, and once again determined that they were southerners, and they were going to unload the things on the ship tonight, and it seemed that they were also afraid of accidents.

"When are we going to do it?" When a brother saw Qianyu returning, he hurriedly asked her.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhu Wen, you have better water quality, dive over and find out what is going on first, and see if it's the material we are looking for"

Qianyu groped for the morning dragon on his body, placing it in the easiest position to start, ready to start a fight at any time.

"The ships are all big boxes, what do you think of this?" The man named Zhu Wen looked at Qianyu with a puzzled expression.

"The materials used to make arrows can't get wet, but they take the waterway, so they will naturally do a good job of waterproofing the boxes, if my guess is correct, there must be a room of tung oil paper outside those boxes" Qianyu looked back at the boats docked on the shore, and was very sure in his heart.

"Good!" As soon as Zhu Wen's words fell, he walked gently towards the river, and disappeared into the river in the blink of an eye, believing that he had dived into the water.

"What about us? Do you want to wait for Zhu Wen to come back? The rest of the people looked at Qianyu and asked cautiously, and it seemed that they believed Qianyu.

"When did this kid Zhao Xi become so familiar with them? Actually listen to his words and follow me" Qianyu looked at the man, and for a while he didn't know how to arrange him.

"We have to wait for him to come back before we can act, if the ship is not made of arrows, we must get out of here immediately" Qianyu remembered that the man named Stone was only two years older than herself, but why did she look so mature? Could it be the reason for the tanning on the battlefield?

"Oh" Shi nodded shyly, speaking of which he has never been on the battlefield, this time with Qianyu coming out, it is also the first time to do a task, in his eyes, Qianyu who has been on the battlefield is trustworthy.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Wen climbed up from the shore wet, and just climbed up, before he could breathe, he smiled and nodded excitedly, it seems that he did not travel in vain this time, Qianyu nodded very satisfied.

"In that case, don't blame us" Qianyu pulled out the morning dragon in the dark, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the morning dragon in his hand turned into a bow and three small arrows.

"Zhu Wen, stone, you stained the grass arrows we brought with lamp oil" Qianyu looked at the sky and turned back and ordered, there is no moon, no stars and no wind tonight, it should not rain.

Qianyu put away the three arrows that she brought on the morning dragon, stood on the shore with a bow and crossbow, and kept looking at the boatmen who were walking up and down with her eyes, she knew that there were people of Chu in it, and once she shot arrows at the boat, it would definitely hurt these innocent people of Chu, but ...... Those who achieve great things sometimes have to be ruthless.

In the middle of the night, the ship leaning on the shore finally began to move, and I saw that the shipwrights on the ship began to move boxes outside, and the boxes were not very many, and it was estimated that they were only enough for two battles.

Qianyu: This is the perfect opportunity, Zhu Wen, let's make a noise, you go to the other side of the ship, you just need to take the torch to divert their attention, the stone and I must shoot a few boxes in an instant, and when the fire spreads, we will go to the boat torch.

Zhu Wen: Okay!

Zhu Wen obediently left again, and went to the other side with the fire fold and torches, while Qianyu was busy working here with stones.

The ship was moving boxes outside, but there were torches approaching not far away, and the people on the boat looked at the torches with high spirits.

Suddenly, several arrows with fire fell from the sky and shot at several large boxes, and the tung oil paper on the boxes burned instantly, and before they could be extinguished, several more arrows shot up.

Little by little, the fire began to spread on the wooden crates, and in a short time the cabin was in flames, and the boatmen jumped into the water when they saw this, and it was most important to flee for their lives.

"It seems that this ship is not only equipped with arrows, but also with military supplies that they are preparing for the winter."

Looking at the ship that had become a sea of fire, Qianyu said lightly, feeling a little sorry in his heart, after all, it was a military supply, and the soldiers of Chu State also had to spend the winter, if they grabbed these things, the brothers in the barracks would be a little better, but with the strength of three people, this idea was unrealistic.

"It's a shame to burn it," the stone muttered in the back, looking at the sea of fire in distress.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, but as long as we take their border cities, it's all worth it"

Qianyu turned around and shot a few arrows at a few wooden boxes on the shore, and the few remaining boxes also burned, and at this moment, Qianyu and they couldn't rest, there were more important things to come!

The three of them took advantage of the fire to come to the shore, dozens of southerners surrounded them, surrounded them, Qianyu shook the morning dragon in his hand, raised his head and laughed, what a long-lost feeling, I just went to the battlefield not long ago to kill the enemy, and I want to kill it so soon? It really made Qianyu so excited that she forgot where she was.

"Zhu Wen, Shi, the two of you quickly go and block the two roads leading to the southern military camp, just leave it to me here"

As he spoke, Qianyu had already shot out the Morning Dragon Silk, and several Morning Dragons passed through the wind in the darkness, shooting through the chests of several southerners, and Qianyu pulled the momentum, opening a hole in their chests, and the people around them turned pale with fright.

After Zhu Wen and Shi left, Qianyu became more and more murderous, and the blood on the morning dragon silk was dripping, but these were not enough, she had to kill everyone, except for those Chu State boatmen, because they were just doing things with their wages.

There was a strong smell of blood in the wind, the boat on the shore had burned out, and Qianyu's side was almost solved, all that was left was a few southerners struggling to the death, the dark nightcoat on her body was becoming more and more dark at the moment, she smelled the smell of blood around her, and there was always a smile on her face, no one could guess what she was going to do in the next second?

Halfway through the night, Qianyu finally withdrew his hand, and Zhu Wen and Shi also rushed back, only to see the corpses of the southerners all over the ground, seeing their deaths one by one, their scalps were numb with fright, and they looked at Qianyu in disbelief.

"Will it be up to me to do something? We have to throw all the bodies into the river and clean up everything on the shore."

Qianyu stretched his shoulders and shook his fingers, daring to love is now the time to move his muscles and bones, just now it was just a warm-up, Zhu Wen and Shi looked at each other, sweating on their foreheads, and nodded desperately, for fear that the next person to be pierced through his chest would be himself.

The night was smooth, when the three of them returned to the barracks, the battalion commander did not fail to find that they had been there for the past three days, after all, they were unknown soldiers, even if they had to be named every day, Zhao Xi still had a way.

"How? Isn't it exciting? Pleasantly surprised? ”

As soon as the three of them returned to the barracks, Zhao Xi hurriedly pulled the two of them over, asked quietly, the two glanced at each other, turned their heads, and looked at him with a fierce look, daring to love this kid on purpose, deliberately letting them go to see the stimulation scene.

Before winter, the Chu army must capture the border cities of the southern country, otherwise they will spend the whole winter in tents on the border, so Qianyu and their plan must be carried out, no matter what happens.

On the night of cold autumn, the state of Chu took the initiative to attack the city, this time it was Song Li of the 12th battalion of the iron cavalry who led the troops, and the men and horses dispatched were only a few hundred people of the 12th battalion, this was the first time Song Li believed in the plan of a thousand words, and it was the first time to take a few hundred people to the battlefield, and the soldiers of the other battalions were confused.

Qianyu and Zhao Xi and their entourage had made a lot of dummies as early as a month ago, and also made a lot of wooden carts, one after another, with many wooden planks on them, each car only needs one person to push, light and convenient to move, a few wooden planks on the car can just hide a person, at that time, they only need to push the cart to the battlefield.

"I don't know if these young methods will work?"

Song Li rode a horse and watched on the battlefield, they were going to attack at night and catch the enemy off guard.

As everyone knows, the southern soldiers are also planning to attack tonight, and when they are ready to go, they are preempted by the Chu State, and before they set off, the arrow rain of the Chu State has already shot over.

This is one of the tactics, first send a hundred archers to the south back to the border city to release arrows, and after their archers come out, the archers of Chu State can retreat, and then let other soldiers push the cart tied with torches in front of them, and the fun has just begun!

Qianyu said that this was manual work, because the soldiers who pushed the carts had to scream as they ran, and the archers of the Chu State could fire a few arrows at them from time to time to make sure they were not suspicious.

Facts have proved that the method of Qianyu is feasible, the night is hazy, the distance is too far, the southern soldiers can't see what is happening on the field at all, and the archers can only keep releasing arrows.

And another fact proves that Zhao Xi is indeed reliable, after all, he did it to make Song Li believe in them, although he didn't know the method, but he also had to make Qianyu admire, she didn't know, when was the battalion commander's order so easy to take?
