The hill and high ground where Jin Ran and Fang Tianji were hiding were only about fifty paces away from these Western Xia soldiers. And although there are more than a dozen people on Jinran's side, if you have a hard fight with them, you will definitely not be able to beat them.

Fang Tianji was also very aware of the huge disparity between the enemy and himself, so he motioned for the people behind him to lie down, intending to wait for these people to leave or not pay attention before sneaking away.

Jin Ran also followed and observed this group of Western Xia soldiers.

They were obviously dressed much better than ordinary Western Xia soldiers. When Jin Ran came, he also peeked at many Western Xia soldiers, and what they ate on their daily basis was just a few corn coarse flour steamed buns mixed with flour, and then they ate some pickles and fermented bean curd and other things snatched from the farmer's house.

Ordinary Western Xia soldiers wore some coarse cloth clothes, and some people didn't even have the standard clothes worn by Western Xia soldiers, and they still wore clothes brought at home, patches one by one. The weapons in their hands are even more varied, some of them can even hold a spear and sword issued by the army, and those who are unlucky still have kitchen knives and wooden sticks in their hands.

And these dozens of Western Xia soldiers were completely different from those ordinary Western Xia soldiers. They lit a bonfire, and the fire turned out to be a pot of stewed meat, Jin Ran didn't know what kind of meat it was, but he could see that the pot full of large pieces of meat was much better than that of ordinary Western Xia soldiers.

And these Western Xia soldiers were wearing even more terrible clothes, leather armor and chain mail, and they held swords and spears in their hands. Jin Ran looked at it with a little fear.

"Heavenly Halberd, look, what's there?" Jin Ran narrowed his eyes and pointed towards the dozen or so carriages behind the soldiers. Just now in the night, Jin Ran didn't even see these carriages covered with black cloth for a while. This carriage is different from the carriage that pulls people in Jinran Suri, this carriage is larger, and there is no roof, the position of the roof is tightly covered by a black cloth, and there seems to be a lot of things in the carriage. Even the wheels of the carriage were pressed into the ground for a few minutes.

Jin Ran was a little strange.

But Fang Tianji's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Jin Ran: "Ran'er, those should be the ones who transported grain and grass to the Western Xia soldiers." ”

"Ahh Jin Ran suddenly realized, "No wonder these Western Xia soldiers eat so much better than ordinary Western Xia soldiers, if they are soldiers who transport grain and grass, it is not surprising." "These Western Xia soldiers are transporting grain and grass, so they can eat some good things unscrupulously, as long as they take some from the grain and grass transported, no one will deliberately check this anyway.

As for the delicate leather armor and weapons, it is estimated that they will better protect the grain and grass.

Jin Ran asked, "Is this the place where Western Xia stores grain and grass?" It just so happened that I was met by somehow. ”

Fang Tianji followed with a smile and said: "This is really a godsend, if we burn all this grain and grass this time, Western Xia will be self-defeating, they have been chasing us outside this deep mountain for a while, these must be the last stored grain." And if these stocks of grain were exhausted, with the current national strength of Western Xia, it would be impossible for them to raise them again. Cutting off their food this time is equivalent to cutting off their lifeline! ”

As soon as Fang Tianji's words came out, the soldiers behind him were also ready to move, and they were about to rush out and burn all these grains and grass one by one.

Jin Ran couldn't help but say: "Don't be impulsive! There are only a dozen of us now, and if we rush out and fight hard, we will definitely not be able to do it. And even if we rush out and win, this is not far from the camp in Western Xia, and when we hear the sound of fighting, we will definitely send someone to see it, which is tens of thousands of people. Jin Ran said as he pressed Fang Tianji's hand that wanted to draw his sword.

Fang Tianji nodded in agreement with Jin Ran's words, but he still had some regrets, after all, this opportunity was too once-in-a-lifetime, if he missed this time, he didn't know when he would meet the next time, let such an opportunity that could hit Xixia seriously slip away under his hands, Fang Tianji sighed.

Seeing that everyone was wilting, Jin Ran couldn't help but show a sly smile, she nodded Fang Tianji's head and said, "What are you doing with your head down?" I'm just saying that if we just rush out like this, we're going to lose, not that we're going to lose by other means. ”

Fang Tianji looked at Jin Ran and asked, "Ran'er, do you have any other way?" There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Jin Ran took out a pill from the small bag he was carrying, this pill was earthy yellow, and he admitted that it was the size of a little thumb and a finger, exuding a strange fragrance, which made people can't help but yawn a few times after smelling it, and some of them want to sleep.

Jin Ran held the pill with a handkerchief, and she said, "I am wearing sweat medicine." Just this little pill, if you want to put down a person, a few gentle scrapes of the powder with your fingernails are enough. ”

Although Jin Ran has read a little less medical books in recent days, her medical skills have not regressed, this time she came to find Fang Tianji, and she carried all kinds of pills with her, just like this night's sweat medicine, which is one of the medicines in the bag that Jin Ran carried with her.

Jin Ran said: "Which of you throws things more accurately?" ”

A small soldier timidly raised his hand.

Jin Ran smiled: "It's just right, you see if you can throw it at this distance." Jin Ran said as he pointed to the soup pot on the campfire. Now almost no one is looking at the direction of the soup pot, they are together in pairs, and it is the time to talk happily, where is the kung fu to care about this pot?

Seeing that the timing was just right, the little soldier didn't practice much, so he threw it directly into the soup pot. Now the soup in the soup pot has been boiled into a milky white bubbling, and the earthy yellow medicine bowl is soon hidden between the bubbles that explode and close.

Jin Ran first looked around with a weak heart, and saw that those people in Western Xia didn't notice these problems before he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

A whole pill of sweat medicine is extremely powerful, even if dozens of people drink a pot of soup mixed with sweat medicine, they are estimated to be drugged soon.

The facts turned out to be as expected.

The soup was quickly ready, and the man sitting in front of the pot sniffed it intoxicated, and he nodded, confirming that the soup was ready to drink.

The man took out a large spoon, and he filled a large bowl of broth for each of the Western Xia soldiers, and beat a lot of pieces of meat into each of the bowls.

These Western Xia soldiers quickly drank the soup with laughter and laughter. The potency of this medicine was so strong that several people had already closed their eyes and fainted before they had finished the soup.

To be on the safe side, Fang Tianji first sent someone to investigate, he was a little worried that these people hadn't fainted yet.

When everything was checked, Jin Ran came out, and she kept urging the people around her to hurry up and run away after burning the food.

Fang Tianji was not in a hurry, his body was still a little weak, but he walked quickly to the side of these grains. Fang Tianji's eyes flashed, and he reached out and took out the flint and steel from his arms.

The slightest touch of two flint stones sparked sparks, burning the cotton covering the outer layer of the carriage. Fang Tianji's old trick was repeated, and in the remaining time, he set the rest of the carriage on fire, leaving a respite for Western Xia.

"Ran!" Fang Tianji turned around and grabbed Jin Ran: "Let's go quickly." After a while, the flames will soar into the sky, and the people on the Western Xia side will definitely react. ”

If this fire is burned, there must be a huge problem in the supply of grain and grass in Western Xia. When Fang Tianji returned to the barracks and removed Xiao Qingyan from the position of military advisor, everything was over.

Everything was brisk when they got out of the mountain gate, and their group traveled very quickly, and soon arrived at the place where everyone had made an appointment in the group before.

Fang Tianji counted several people and found that there were no fewer people.

He brought five thousand elites before, but now there are only a few hundred people left, these elite soldiers are all veterans from the first war with Xixia, all of them are well-trained, and many of them are familiar with the art of war, these veterans are enough to join the army in other armies, they are all baby bumps there, Fang Tianji did not expect that his subordinates would be killed in this war that they originally planned.

Thinking of this, Fang Tianji sighed, he raised his hand and said, "Let's go!" Back to the barracks! ”

On the other hand, Western Xia also encountered a crisis.

The Tangut people were originally slack off because of guarding the mountain, and a few generals even privately felt that the king was too fussy, but it was just a few hundred people, how could they use tens of thousands of troops to garrison? Although the leader was that Fang Tianji, but what about Fang Tianji, this victorious general was not defeated by them one after another?

At this time, these generals selectively forgot that they were ten times the strength of the opponent.

Dissatisfied, these generals were a little slack, and some even drank wine directly, not taking the Fang Tianji in the mountains seriously at all.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the generals still do not pay attention to it, and the soldiers who are a little slack themselves are naturally happy to be idle, but they are people who hold their heads on the tip of the knife to beg for a living, and they are naturally happy to be less dangerous.

And at night, when the barracks were resting, a soldier who was patrolling saw a flash of fire in the place where they had put their food. He woke up his companion with some anxiety: "Don't sleep, wake up, what do you see there?" Our food won't catch fire, will we? ”

He rubbed his sleepy-eyed companion beside him: "What? On fire? Let me see....... Yes! The companion screamed, "Go and call someone!" The place where we put the food is on fire! ”

I don't know if God opened his eyes, but when the fire was on fire, there was a gust of wind, and the wind blew the fire a little bigger. It didn't take long for thousands of loads of grain for the Western Xia soldiers to burn.

These grains were all the food they ate when they planned to besiege Fang Tianji, and now there is not a single grain left.

Several Western Xia generals were woken up by the crying outside the tent, and they were still holding prostitutes around them, and when they heard the cry of ice outside the door, they walked out of the tent one by one dissatisfied: "You guys, what are you crying in the middle of the night?" Isn't it a good night patrol? Be careful that I cut off your heads! ”

After speaking, he was about to pull out the sword at his waist, and the general was not just scaring a few of them, but seriously. He was already very brutal, and he was not soft on his subordinates, and sometimes he had to kill a few guards when he was drunk.

The soldiers trembled, and they trembled, "General...... It looks like the place where the food is put is on fire......"

The general looked in disbelief in the direction of the firelight, and he said violently: "What? On fire? Why don't you hurry up and put out the fire when it's on fire? Still standing here stupidly? ”

At this time, these Western Xia soldiers woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, picked up the pots and pans around them and went straight to the nearest lake to fetch water and put out the fire.

The fire burned all night, and the soldiers of Western Xia were busy all night before they could barely extinguish the fire. Although the fire has been extinguished, there is not a single grain of food left, and everything is reduced to ashes. The fire even spread to the military camp of the Western Xia, burned a lot of tents, and many soldiers of the Western Xia were burned, the Western Xia is a nomadic people since ancient times, although the cattle and sheep serve well, but this does not mean that they are good at medical skills, especially to treat this kind of burns, many soldiers of the Western Xia can only die of pain.
