Only then did Qi Zhan realize that the thousands of people sent by the Yan army last night were all dead soldiers, and they didn't want to go back alive at all, so they first set rockets outside the tower, and then put poison gas in the tower! They are all about dying together!
Qi Zhan couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately ordered everyone not to approach the tower and retreat in an orderly manner. How much poison gas is in the tower? When will it disperse? Will these gases be blown to the camp by the wind? And what are the consequences? These four questions have become what he is most concerned about at the moment.
"Nie Xingji is really despicable, he actually thought of a way to poison!" The people around him talked a lot, and they all expressed their anger and disdain for Nie Xingji.
Qi Zhan was silent for a moment, but instead said: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, the two armies are in a confrontation, and any means can be used." ”
"Will this gas affect the camp?" An experienced lieutenant asked Qi Zhan: "In case of a wind today, these poisonous gases ......?"
"Logically speaking, poisonous gas will blow away when it encounters the wind, and it should have little impact." Although Qi Zhan said this, he still had some scruples, so he gave another order: "Pass the order to go down and retreat the camp ten miles back today to prevent the invasion of poisonous gas." ”
The lieutenant general nodded: "Your Highness is extremely worried, Nie Xingji sacrificed thousands of people to attack our camp at night, it is absolutely impossible to just capture the two watchtowers and release poison gas." The last general also thinks that this poison gas must have an effect on the camp......"
Before the word "ringing" came out, he heard Qi Zhan suddenly shout: "Oh no! He seemed to react to something, and shouted: "Grain and grass! ”
As the deputy general said, Nie Xingji sacrificed thousands of people and came to raid with great fanfare, definitely not only to capture the two watchtowers, but also to show his majesty! This is a trick to blow the east and the west, and turn the tiger away from the mountain! Nie Xingji's purpose is to attract the attention of all the soldiers, so that he can take the opportunity to find out the location of the grain and grass!
And I was really fooled! Not only did he run to investigate the grain and grass in a panic, thus revealing the location of the grain and grass, but he also deliberately ran to the watchtower to command and watch the battle!
Everything he did was expected by Nie Xingji, and he fell for his tricks!
Qi Zhan suddenly woke up and regretted it in his heart.
As if to confirm his thoughts, a sky-high fire suddenly came from the west side of the camp, echoing the rising sun in the east, and the orange light was magnificent.
Qi Zhan immediately ran over to check, but it was too late, the men and horses he sent to guard the grain and grass had already died, and many Yan soldiers were also dead among them, and the grain and grass in several camp tents were already burning, and no one cared about them.
Only traces of spilled oil can be seen on the ground, several oil drums lying horizontally and vertically, and eight large characters are written on each oil drum:
In the way of the other, give back to the other.
"Nie Xingji!" Qi Zhan shouted angrily at the sky-high firelight, his falcon-like eyes flashing with unprecedented anger, shock, and murderous intent.
*****
The Yan army used oil as a guide, and the fire was not easy to control at all, even if the Ning army tried their best to put it out, they only kept forty percent of the grain and grass. And the reason why these forty percent of the grain and grass can be saved is also because they have not been poured oil - but Ning Jun poured water when he put out the fire, and the grain and grass were already wet, and sooner or later they would become moldy.
This is more like Nie Xingji's prank, deliberately leaving half of the grain and grass without oil, waiting for Ning Jun to put out the fire with water. Even if the fire is extinguished, it is impossible for them to spread out all the grain and grass to dry, not to mention how much they can dry, and it is an extremely humiliating thing in itself to dry the grain in such a big way, and it will only become a laughing stock of the world if it is spread out.
Before he left the division, he was tricked by the enemy so far, Qi Zhan's anger can be imagined.
"Your Highness, should you put on an excerpt and ask the king to send more grain and grass?" When the adjutant general asked this sentence, he was also extremely worried. It must be known that if this matter reaches the ears of King Ning, it is inevitable that Long Yan will be angry, after all, the 100,000 army did not even sit firmly in Minzhou, and lost more than half of the grain and grass. But if this matter is concealed, what will the soldiers eat and drink? Originally, it was three months' rations for an army of 200,000, but now, it can only support more than a month......
Qi Zhan didn't know how to ask for food, but he really couldn't swallow this breath and couldn't afford to lose this face!
"Do you remember the words that Nie Xingji left when he got his hands on it?" Qi Zhan asked coldly.
Of course, the adjutant general remembered that it was eight big characters: "Give back to the other in the way of the other".
"Dao" refers to the trick of Yunchen in Youzhou Mansion to block the Yan army with rockets in the first battle, so this time the Yan army also used rockets and oil, which are now learned and sold, and a trick of poison gas was sent!
The deputy general thought about it and felt that Qi Zhan's question didn't need to be answered, so he also stopped his mouth and listened to the following.
As he expected, Qi Zhan's eyes showed a little cold light, and a cynical smile crossed his lips: "He will 'give back to him in his own way', and so will I!" He will have the idea of fetching food and grass, and so will I! ”
*****
That night, Qi Zhan wrote a letter in the secret way of Momen and ordered someone to secretly send it to the Momen chief helmsman. Now the entire Youzhou is occupied by the Yan army, but fortunately, the Momen rudder is hidden in the island under the Taiyan Mountain, and it has not been affected.
Qi Liancheng, the master of the gate, received orders from King Ning twice, asking him to stand still and not to interfere in the battle of Ning Yan, for which he was aggrieved. Therefore, when he received Qi Zhan's letter, he was surprised in his heart, and he didn't know whether this was King Ning's intention or Qi Zhan's own meaning.
But when he read the letter, he understood-Qi Zhan asked him to act secretly, and it can be seen that he is still carrying King Ning behind his back.
Regarding Qi Zhan's letter, Qi Liancheng did not carry Yingluo on his back, but asked her to come over to discuss ideas together. Three years ago, Yingluo left Qi Zhan and returned to Momen, after which she stopped being a killer and instead assisted Qi Liancheng in taking care of the trivial affairs in the door.
After reading the letter, Yingluo strongly opposed Qi Zhan's request and dissuaded Qi Liancheng and said: "Master of the Gate, since King Ning said that he would not let Momen interfere in military affairs, you should not act rashly. ”
Qi Liancheng is in his early fifties, in fact, he is two years younger than Ji Fengzhi, but because of his early entry, Ji Fengzhi became his junior brother instead. He is thin and small, and at first glance his appearance is not good-looking, gentle and harmless, but in fact, he is very good at using a meridian with one hand, and he can often attack people without being prepared for surprise.
The more gentle the person, the more ruthless he becomes, Momen has been handed over to Qi Liancheng, he has driven his sister crazy, forced away a senior brother and a junior brother, and the tasks he took over were more than double that of the previous master of the sect, of course, there were more dead people and more money.
He fully interpreted the word "kind-faced and ruthless", but in Yingluo's opinion, as long as his subordinates are absolutely loyal to him, he is still appropriately tolerant, and he can also listen to the advice of the contrary.
For example, at this moment, Yingluo was blunt, and Qi Liancheng was not angry, but asked: "What is 'rash action'?" On the father, Zhan'er is now the grandson of the king, and Momen is located in Ningguo, so I have to obey my fate; In terms of selfishness, Zhan'er is my own nephew, and my nephew has a request, how can I stand by as an uncle? ”
"But ......" Yingluo'e frowned deeply: "But he, the prince and grandson, is not in power, and he has to be subject to his grandfather everywhere!" You interfered in military affairs, it seems that you helped Qi Zhan, but what if you commit King Ning's taboo? ”
Qi Liancheng sighed deeply after hearing this: "Silly Yingluo, how many years does King Ning have to live?" As long as Zhan'er can make military achievements this time and increase his prestige, he will be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince grandson, and he will inherit the unification in the future, will he still treat Momen badly? ”
Yingluo was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "But if King Ning orders him to eradicate Momen, do you think he will listen?" ”
Qi Liancheng was also silent when he heard this.
Seeing this, Yingluo persuaded again: "I'm just afraid that before King Ning dies, Momen will no longer exist." Now that King Ning can still tolerate us, I advise you to think twice. ”
Hearing this, Qi Liancheng was silent for a while, and only after a while did he raise his eyes to look at Yingluo, and the light in his eyes flashed: "You know, we still have a chip in our hands." ”
Yingluo suddenly became vigilant: "Door master! What did you promise me? ”
Qi Liancheng smiled: "What are you nervous about, I just said that I won't reveal this secret until the critical moment." ”
Yingluo still couldn't believe him, and said coldly: "Please forgive me for your feelings, if you insist on breaking the contract, I won't give up." ”
"Ahem," Qi Liancheng covered his mouth and coughed twice, "What are you talking about with a tuberculosis ghost?" I see you as my nephew and daughter-in-law. ”
Yingluo snorted coldly: "Yingluo is from a humble background, nameless and pointless, and she can't afford to be a person if she doesn't dare to be!" ”
Qi Liancheng didn't continue the topic, only covered his mouth with one hand, waved at her with the other, and said, "Okay, you step back first, I have my own ideas for what Zhan'er begs." ”
"Door Master! Don't kill yourself! Yingluo was anxious and began to say nothing.
Qi Liancheng smiled again: "This is too exaggerated, there are not many people in the world who can make me die Qi Liancheng." ”
"Door Master!" Yingluo tried to persuade again.
"Okay, I'm just here to discuss with you, not for you to order me! Ahem...... cough cough cough ......" Qi Liancheng seemed to cough hard, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Yingluo was standing still, but then she couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to him. Qi Liancheng waved his hand at her again and ordered her to go out, and Yingluo immediately retreated.
She knew that the location of the master's medicine had always been a secret, and no one knew it except himself, and she did not take the initiative to retire when he was ill several times, just to see if he would say where the medicine was hidden, but unfortunately he did not succeed once, and even if he coughed to death, he would not openly take the medicine in front of outsiders. And she couldn't bear to push him.
She can understand that the master of the Momen Gate has countless blood on his hands, and there are too many people who want his life, and once the place where the medicine is hidden is leaked, I don't know how many people will do something in his medicine. So this has always been a secret, compared to Qi Zhan's identity, compared to why she came back...... Be more hidden secrets, and will be hidden forever.
Yingluo closed the door of the house from the outside as she thought, and the coughing sound inside immediately became quieter, and she knew that the owner of the door had already taken the pill, so she left in a hurry.
