Chapter 298: A Fire
Here, Wei Zhongxian was gradually approaching Xiang Wentian's garrison camp.
And Xiang Wentian, who was in command of the rear army, didn't know if he was killed, at this juncture, someone dared to come and steal the camp, so Xiang Wentian didn't have much defense at all.
At this time, there was basically not much defense in the camp, and all those who could go to the front line went to the front line to attack the city, and the rest were some men or military doctors and the like who could not go to the battlefield.
And Xiang Wentian didn't have many people around him, leaving less than 1,000 personal soldiers to guard him. At this time, Xiang Wentian stood on top of a wide car, looking at the battlefield in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
Xiang Wentian has always been a conceited person, seeing that the siege has entered the white heat, and his own side has attacked the city many times, although it was finally beaten down, but Xiang Wentian is not worried about how long the other party can defend it.
Because Xiang Wentian himself knows that his own army of 400,000 people, how many people are on the other side, even if it is grinding, the other party can be grinded to death.
But what Xiang Wentian didn't know was that failure was coming.
Just when Xiang Wentian was full of pride and was about to hold a celebration banquet, the 2,000 people led by Wei Zhongxian had already sneaked to the edge of Xiang Wentian's camp.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian's eyes were covered with a stretch of cyan tents, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance.
And there was a simple wall in front of him that was one person high, so simple that Wei Zhongxian lifted the big knife full of spiritual energy, and split it with one knife, and then split it a few times, and the person behind him pushed it with his hand, and it fell.
Wei Zhongxian waved his hand, and all 2,000 people bent on their waists and carefully touched the camp.
Because I only knew that the general direction was in the northwest direction, but I didn't know where it was, so I had to separate and look for them one by one.
After two cups of tea, Wei Zhongxian smiled as a soldier panted in front of him on the runway. It's just that according to the soldiers' observations, there are probably more than 100 guards in the place where the grain and grass are stored.
Of course, Wei Zhongxian didn't pay attention to this, so he gathered the team, and under the leadership of the soldiers who returned, he touched the outside of the big tent where the grain and grass were stored all the way without hindrance.
At this time, these hundreds of soldiers guarding the big tent gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and chatting together, and they were not tired of it, because they were happy, and they did not go to the battlefield, so it meant that they would not lose their lives.
It's just that they were too optimistic, and just when these people were still reacting, Wei Zhongxian released a martial art.
In an instant, a sword swept towards the first group of people.
"Snort... Laugh at... Snort"
A flash of swords passed, and the unprepared soldiers, all dead, some in the head, some in the upper body, in short, fell in a pool of blood one by one.
The people behind heard the sound, and one of them immediately stood up and shouted, "Who is it?"
It's just that the answer to such a soldier is a sharp knife, which enters from the back and exits the chest.
"Ahh
A scream broke the quiet atmosphere, and the screams came and went faster, and more than 100 unprepared guards were quickly eliminated under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian.
Seeing that all the guards had been dealt with, Wei Zhongxian stopped talking nonsense and shouted directly, "Quickly sprinkle the fire oil, hurry up." ”
Then more than 2,000 people scattered away, and no longer checked whether it contained grain and grass, but took out the bottle with fire oil hanging around his waist and sprinkled it, the roof of the tent, the door curtain, etc., anyway, all that could be sprinkled.
Soon, in less than a cup of tea, all 2,000 people returned, and their faces turned red, not to mention how excited.
Wei Zhongxian was not stupid, he knew that the longer he stayed, the more troublesome it was, so he waved his hand and began to retreat, and after running a few hundred meters, Wei Zhongxian took out a feather arrow, lit it, and shot it directly at the tent sprinkled with fire oil.
"Bang..."
The rocket successfully landed on the tent, and the fireball tied to the rocket ignited the oil on the tent, and then burned directly.
Wei Zhongxian glanced at it, and as it burned to the ground, the flowing oil was strung up in an instant, bringing fire to other tents, and the trend was getting bigger and bigger.
"Withdraw..."
Seeing that the fire had completely burned, Wei Zhongxian was not stupid, and immediately waved his hand and retreated.
And at this time, there was a fire here, and poor Xiang Wentian didn't know it, because there was no one in the camp, so no one found out for a short time.
When he felt the smell of burnt paste in the camp, he ran out to take a look, and was immediately frightened, only to see that the place where the grain and grass were stored in the rear had been on fire, and the fire was out of control by the wind.
Although the fire was on fire for a short time, the grain and grass were all combustible, so they burned too quickly, and by the time they were discovered, they had already burned a large area.
At this time, the people who stayed behind were crazy and prepared to put out the fire, but the camp far away from the water source was not easy to put out the fire.
Just when Xiang Wentian felt that the overall situation had been decided, a soldier rushed from the camp in a panic and shouted, "General... Checkmate... It's a big deal, the back camp is on fire!"
"What kind of system is panicking, don't want to say nonsense, our army is about to win a big victory, and it is less to shake the morale of our army. ”
At this time, Xiang Wentian didn't believe that the camp would catch fire at all, so he was very angry and reprimanded him directly.
After swallowing and spitting, the soldier who breathed a sigh of relief said, "General, it's true, look at the back camp!"
It's okay not to say this, hearing this, Xiang Wentian hurriedly turned around and looked at the back camp, but this look, Xiang Wentian suddenly stumbled, and if it wasn't for the old man in black robe who came out later, he was estimated to fall.
The black-robed old man who got out of the car naturally heard the soldier's report, so he got out of the car to take a look, of course, at this time he also saw the smoke and fire floating above the back camp.
And the black-robed old man, who had always been calm and calm, trembled at this time, and where the back camp was on fire, the old man naturally knew what it was stored, and it was the rations of 400,000 people in the whole army!
At this time, Xiang Wentian was still calm, and suddenly shouted, quickly Mingjin withdraw the troops, quickly collect the troops, and go back to fight the fire.
Because Xiang Wentian himself also knew in his heart that if his grain and grass were burned out, then it was a question of whether he could survive this time.
And with Xiang Wentian's order, the lookout soldier standing on the top of the arrow tower suddenly struck the gong.
On the basis of the battle between the two armies, Xiang Wentian was in a siege battle again, and this sudden sound of gold made the soldiers who were still besieging the city suddenly flustered, but the order had to be obeyed!
So the whole battlefield suddenly became a mess, and everyone threw off their arms and ran back.
And this is a pain for the soldiers who climbed up the ladder and the wooden ladder, because they are in a dilemma at this time, and Yuen Long does not know why the other party has suddenly withdrawn its troops after attacking the city.
But this did not affect the beating of the water dogs, and seeing that the other party withdrew like a tide, Yuen Long ordered the soldiers not to have any reservations, and threw out the thunder stones and oil all of them.
Archers don't save either, just shoot round after round.
After waiting for all the border guards to withdraw from the attack range, the battlefield was covered with corpses, many of which were trampled to death by the border guards themselves.
In fact, there were not many deaths in the real siege, and in the end, he retreated in a panic and was beaten by the water dogs, so the number of deaths was even more than during the siege.
Of course, the side defending the city is not optimistic, especially on the front, and many people have been killed, but the war is like this.
At this time, Yuen Long and Shek Tat stood on the castle tower, looking out at the soldiers who had receded like a tide, and the smoke rising from behind.
"Haha... God help me, the other party's back camp is actually on fire!haha"
The first to react was Shi Da, and at this time Shi Da was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's, but looking at the saber with the blade rolled up, he could also know how difficult this battle was.
Hearing that there was no sound of siege, Wu Zide got out of the wounded's tent and walked to the top of the city wall.
At this time, the great hero Wei Zhongxian had not yet returned to the city. With the talent just ran to the place where the horse was tethered.
When Xiang Wentian ordered the whole army to retreat, Wei Zhongxian had just left the camp not long ago, and he was still drilling in the grass with his waist bent. But the sound of gold that resounded on the battlefield made the faces of the 2,000 people who went out smile.
When the running horses were tethered, more than 2,000 people's faces turned red one by one, and they didn't know whether they were excited or hot, riding on the horse, Wei Zhongxian glanced at the direction where there was still smoke, and the thief laughed.
This thief's laughter was also caused by Wei Zhongxian, and then he stopped talking nonsense, led 2,000 people to clip the horse's belly, and galloped away according to the road they came.
At this time, Wu Zide was already standing on the top of the city tower, and when he saw the other party retreating, he took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face, and turned to Yuen Long and Shi Da to express his gratitude.
At the same time, he also said that he would reward the two people who defended the city, and for Wei Zhongxian, who ran to the south gate, Wu Zide was disgusted.
"Yuen Long, where is Wei Zhongxian? Haven't come here yet? Is this to prepare me to send someone to invite this coward? What a waste. ”
"My lord, don't worry, I've already sent someone to inform me just now, and I'm sure I'll be here soon. ”
Yuen Long did not succeed in blocking the other party's siege and felt any joy, because Yuen Long, as the commander, knew in his heart that if it was not for the change of the opponent's rear camp, then whether it could hold it was still two words.
As they talked, the soldiers sent to find Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran back.
"Where's the general?"
Yuen Long was stunned for a moment when he saw the snorting soldiers, who were just running back alone, and did not follow Wei Zhongxian behind him, and then asked.
"Elder Qiyu, according to the brothers guarding the south gate, the general led 2,000 men to steal the camp and has not yet returned. ”
When Yuen Long heard this, he looked at the place where there was still smoke, waved at the soldiers, and then looked at Wu Zide.
At this time, Wu Zide also smiled embarrassedly, looking at the place where the smoke was emitting, he only felt that he couldn't get over his face, so he had to say, "Who knows if I really went to steal the camp." ”
"It's not good to be bored, I secretly ran back to roll the woman's belly, and deliberately let people say that. ”
"Uh..."
When Yuen Long heard Wu Zide say this, he almost choked on his own saliva.
And Shi Da, who was standing on the side, was also a black line, this city lord was too good at pulling, this was a bit too much, in the case of this big war, if the general could still roll a woman's belly, how big would his heart be.
Wu Zide looked at the two people beside him, and felt that he seemed to have said a little too much, so he had to snort, flick his embroidered robe, and ordered to pay attention to the enemy coming to steal the city, and then went down the stairs.
And Yuen Long Shi Da and the two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly shrugged their shoulders helplessly, everything was silent.
