Chapter 977: Fire

In the next two days, Xie Jingchen studied the transparent object whenever he had free time and made sure that it could ignite things.

He decided to borrow the lens buckled down from this telescope and burned Nanliang grain and grass.

In the past two days, he has also figured out where the grain and grass are hidden.

It's just that the sky is not beautiful, and when he was ready to start, it rained.

But it was also because of the rain that gave him a chance to do it.

It was raining heavily, and no one would come to burn the grain and grass, and the army was negligent in guarding against it, so he could sneak to the place where the grain and grass were hidden and fix the lenses in a position that was not easy to be noticed.

Burning grain and grass is a great achievement, but compared to him being an undercover agent in Nanliang, it is not worth it to risk being discovered.

But now that there's the best of both worlds, there's no reason not to do it.

It rained heavily for a day, and it rained for most of the day, and by the evening, the sky had cleared.

When I woke up the next day, the ground was dry.

The sun shines on the earth, making people especially nostalgic for the coolness of the rain two days ago.

The border is dry, and there is not much rain.

In the morning, the tent is dry and hot, and at noon, when the sun is at its hottest, it is just moved to the position where the lenses need to shine.

The tent was on fire, the sparks were falling, and under the tent were mountains of grain, and the sacks were burning at a moment's notice.

Fire burns from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside.

Because the place was in the center, the officers and soldiers were stationed around the grain and grass, but they neglected to be inside.

By the time the officers and soldiers arrived to extinguish the fire, the entire tent where the grain was hidden had already been burned.

Originally, the grain and grass were not hidden here, in order to prevent the night attack of Daqi and burning the grain and grass, the grain and grass were moved to this place, and the tent was set up relatively densely in a temporary place.

As soon as the wind blows, it forms a sweeping trend.

General Nanliang heard the sound of water and came out to take a look, and his face turned black from the skyrocketing fire.

"How can it catch fire?!" General Nanliang roared hysterically.

He grabbed an officer and soldier and asked.

The officers and soldiers were frightened and had no master.

He didn't know why it was on fire, no one attacked the camp, and no one even entered the granary, so it caught fire for no reason.

The place where the Nanliang military camp was stationed was not far from Daqi.

In broad daylight, thick smoke billowed into the sky.

Just look up and you can see.

In addition, the Daqi telescope, the officers and soldiers defending the city saw the smoke and looked at the telescope for a while, so they hurriedly sent someone to tell the Dongxiang Marquis and the old prince that they knew.

Dongxiang Hou and Wang Ye, they are you looking at me, I am looking at you.

No one knew how the Nanliang barracks suddenly caught fire.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city said that the burning was a little violent, and the Marquis of Dongxiang went up to the city gate to take a look, good guys, I felt that the military camp in Nanliang was surrounded by fire for half a month.

Dongxiang Hou put his hand on the city wall, and his mood was as brilliant as he wanted.

There is a saying that robbing while the fire is hot, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, beating the water dogs......

How could you miss such a great opportunity?

The Marquis of Dongxiang immediately ordered his troops and immediately attacked Nanliang.

The poor Nanliang military camp has become a mess, and it has encountered the siege of the Great Qi and has to rush to the battle.

Morale is low, and the battle is hasty.

In this battle, Nanliang lost a lot.

Daqi captured a city in Nanliang in one fell swoop, forcing the army stationed in Nanliang to give up the burned military camp and retreat twenty miles.

When Dongxiang Hou led people to the Nanliang military camp, the Nanliang granary had already burned seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the smell of burnt rice was really bad.

With so much grain and grass, it is really painful for Daqi, who is short of food.

There were also injured Nanliang soldiers who didn't have time to retreat, and the king of Nan'an asked him why the grain and grass in Nanliang were burned.

The Nanliang generals who asked these questions were very blocked.

God knows how the grain and grass suddenly caught fire?!

They thought that the Daqi people had sneaked in and set the grain and grass on fire, but when they asked, it was obviously not.

This is really the heavens that want to kill their Nanliang, and they want to lose this battle.

Although I don't know how the grain and grass in Nanliang caught fire, the soldiers of Nanliang knew which camp was the first to catch fire.

Chu Shun and the others were bored, and circled around the camp tent that burned first.

The eldest young master of the Dingguo Mansion pulled a few times with the sword in his hand, and the tip of the king of Nan'an saw the telescope lens.

He quickly squatted down, didn't care about the dirt, and dug out the lens.

The king of Nan'an looked left and right, and it was the lens of the telescope.

Chu Shun stretched out his hand to take it, and the king of Nan'an looked at his dirty hands, and didn't think much about it, and wiped it on his brother's robe twice.

Chu Shun and the others all wondered how the lenses of the telescope could be in this burning tent, and none of them thought that the burning of Nanliang's grain and grass was caused by such a small lens.

After a few glances, the lenses were taken into my arms.

Finally appeared on the desk of the big tent in the army.

A day later, Su Jin found the lenses and asked, "Is the telescope broken?" ”

Su Chong said, "This was found from the burned granary of Nanliang, it should be the one lost by the king of Nan'an County." ”

Su Jin's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard and repeated, "This lens was found in the burned grain and grass in Nanliang?" ”

Su Chong was particularly surprised when he saw her, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Jin looked at the lenses and smiled, "I know how Nanliang's grain and grass were burned." ”

Su Chong was confused.

So many of them don't know, she knows?

Su Jin explained how the lenses could ignite grain and grass, Su Chong was skeptical, and Su Jin showed him.

The king of Nan'an County and Chu Shun all came around to watch.

When they saw the small lens burn off a handkerchief, they were all stunned.

That's amazing, isn't it?

The king of Nan'an County breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was still worried that the telescope would fall into the hands of the Nanliang people, and I was uneasy for several days, but I didn't expect me to make meritorious contributions?" ”

This lens burned the grain and grass and said that it was an accident, but no one believed it.

Su Chong and the others went to Nanliang to burn grain and grass, and they never went to the place where Nanliang really hid grain and grass that day.

The lenses were there, apparently brought with them.

And the lens needs sunlight to ignite the tent, which means that the lens is on top of the tent, which must have been put on by someone......

The king of Nan'an County, they all agreed that Xie Jingchen did it.

After all, it was a good thing for Xie Jingchen that the telescope would fall, and it was normal for Xie Jingchen not to let the things of the king of Nan'an fall into the hands of General Nanliang.

But how did he know that this lens could burn down the granary?

The king of Nan'an County thought that Su Jin had told Xie Jingchen.

Su Jin shook his head, "I didn't tell him." ”

She was also curious about how Xie Jingchen knew.

But Xie Jingchen will definitely not tell them the lesson of sacrificing a pair of pants in exchange.

Nanliang was defeated, and the armor that was chased by Daqi was lost, and he was as embarrassed as he was.

What's even more hateful is that the grain and grass are burned, and I don't know how it was burned!

Even the big camp was robbed, and I couldn't check it if I wanted to.

A city was lost, there was no food, and morale was greatly damaged.

The general of Southern Liang sent people to urge the imperial court for grain, and on the other hand, urged Northern Desert to hurry up and give them the grain and grass promised to Southern Liang.

Xie Jingchen won the first battle, severely frustrated the spirit of Nanliang, and was in a good mood, so he was arranged by General Nanliang to follow Dong Chenglang back to Beijing.

Dong Chenglang regards him as a brother and must accompany him, Xie Jingchen is just a small general, and his military orders are like a mountain, so he has no room to refuse at all.
