Volume III, Chapter 593
Shao Lin, Tong Lei and the others didn't care about moving the unconscious person away, and immediately took out the oil drum that had been prepared in advance, first dumped it in the granary, and then Shao Lin asked his subordinates to pour fire oil on the outside of the granary, and burned it thoroughly, so that it could catch fire inside and outside.
His method of burning inside and outside together was very effective, so that the fire reached its peak at the beginning, but it was also detected by the red soldiers patrolling nearby for the first time.
The first Red Soldier to arrive was a hundred and ten men led by a commander of a thousand people.
Entering the courtyard of the granary, the commander first looked at the red soldiers lying unconscious on the ground, and then at the granary shrouded in flames, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "What's going on?"
"My lord, we are under a sneak attack by the enemy......" Not far away, a red soldier with a face covered in blood raised his hand tremblingly.
The Thousand Men strode forward, crouched down, and asked urgently, "Who are the sneak attackers, and where are they now......?"
The Akana was just about to reply, when his eyes suddenly widened, staring directly behind the commander, and shouted in a trembling voice, "In ...... Behind the ...... of adults"
The commander's head buzzed, and he instinctively turned backwards, and at the same time drew the saber from his waist.
However, behind him were his subordinate brothers, and where was the shadow of the enemy? Just when he was feeling the truth, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and then a tingling sensation swept over his heart.
He looked down and saw that a blue steel knife had been plunged deep into his chest, and the person holding the knife was the dying Red Soldier. At this time, there was still a look of serious injury on the face of the red soldier, and his eyes were shining with a terrifying fierce light.
"You ......," the commander still wanted to speak. But the red soldier no longer gave him a chance to speak, raised his leg and kicked the body of the commander directly, and at the same time, he jumped up from the ground and threw his knife at the crowd of red soldiers.
It came too suddenly. More than half of the more than 100 Red soldiers were killed and injured in the blink of an eye, and the rest of them were so frightened that they dared to stay here for more than half a moment, people screamed, turned around and wanted to run outside, but at this time, it was too late to run.
The gate of the courtyard was blocked by four black-armored underworlds, and around them, there were more black-armored underworld warriors coming out of the shadows. They were carrying long black knives in their hands.
"Kill!" did not give the Red Soldiers any chance to escape, I don't know who was the first to shout, and then, the prelude to the massacre began.
The Shadow Warrior approaching the thirtieth rushed into the crowd, his sword flashing, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground. Dozens of red soldiers, under the attack of the demon warriors, none survived. All of them died unexpectedly.
As soon as the battle in the courtyard ended, Tong Lei rushed in from outside. He said to everyone urgently: "Another large group of red soldiers has rushed over, and now we are fighting or withdrawing?"
He asked Shao Lin in the crowd, who looked back and saw that the granary had completely burned, and the flames were all in the air, such a big fire. No matter how many red soldiers there are, they can't be extinguished!
He rolled his eyes and said, "We can't retreat!" If we fled, the Red Army would immediately know that we were traitors, and if we didn't flee. How can they judge whether we are spies or their own?"
Tong Lei thought about it and felt that what Shao Lin said was also reasonable, and he asked, "Then what do you mean......
"We're pretending to be the ones who just rushed over for reinforcements!" Shao Lin scattered the armor on his body, and said to everyone at the same time: "Brothers fight the fire together!"
"Yes!" Tong Lei, Zhang Shun, and Wu Tao also returned to the appearance of red soldiers according to Shao Lin's intentions, and then each looked for the guy who held the water, shouting and pretending to save the fire.
Their firefighting, not to mention pretending, is a drop in the bucket even if it is sincere. The fire in the granary burned from the inside out, like an erupting volcano, and it was difficult for people to even get close, let alone pour the fire down!
When a large number of red soldiers arrived, they saw such a scene, corpses, flesh and blood all over the ground, Shao Lin, Tonglei and others were shouting 'desperately' pouring water to put out the fire, and the scene was chaotic.
Seeing this, the leader of the Red General immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he knew very well how fatal the blow to his side would be if the granary was burned down, and he also knew how big his fault would be.
After staring blankly at the burning granary for a long time, the red general came back to his senses and shouted, "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
Hearing his shout, Shao Lin, who was 'fighting the fire', glanced back, immediately put down the basin in his hand, and ran over quickly.
This red general is Chen Zhong, who is in charge of guarding the granary, he has only seen Shao Lin's people, but he doesn't know his name, he waved his hand angrily, and said in a loud voice: "Get up, what happened here, how did the granary catch fire?"
"Back to General Chen, I also rushed over when I saw a fire on this side of the granary, and when I arrived, it was already full of the corpses of my brothers, and the fire was burning......
Chen Zhong interrupted him and asked, "You didn't see who moved the hand?"
"No!" Shao Lin's head shook like a rattle, and said, "General, we just arrived, and we didn't see a single living person!"
After listening to Shao Lin's story, Chen Zhong was dumbfounded, the granary was attacked here, not only hundreds of brothers died, but the granary was also set on fire, but he didn't even see the shadow of the person who attacked it, which was also incredible.
He can also have a premonition that when coach Xu Fang hears the news, he will be furious and his head ...... I'm afraid I really can't keep it! Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Zhong looked left and right, and saw that many of his subordinates were staring at him with wide eyes, his lungs were about to explode, he raised his hand to point at everyone, and roared: "What are you all looking at me doing? Go and put out the fire!
"Ah...... Ah, yes, General!" everyone woke up as if from a dream, each looking for tools. Find a source of water and go to put out the fire.
There was no water near the granary, so people had to get water from wells far away, but they were unprepared, and they wasted a lot of time just looking for tools to hold water.
By the time people came back with water, the fire in the granary was already bigger and more violent. As long as you get close to 10 meters, you can no longer breathe, and the air seems to be ignited, and when you breathe it into your lungs, you feel like your body is burning.
The flames that rushed into the air burned half of the sky red, and soon, not only the Red Army soldiers in the entire Pufeng City discovered the fire in the granary, but even the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army outside the city also saw the fire in the city, and many soldiers were wearing clothes. Walked out of the camp tent and looked at the direction of Pufeng to see the excitement.
Now there is a great chaos in Pufeng City, people are shouting and horses are tearing, and the area around the granary is full of Red Army soldiers who heard the news and rushed to put out the fire, but the effect of people's efforts is limited, and they can only stop the fire, but they can't suppress the fire.
Xu Fang, who lived in the county capital, was also woken up by the noise outside, and he was wearing a cloak. Barefoot, he walked out of the bedroom. He asked the guards at the door, "What's going on, why is it so messy outside?"
When the guards saw the commander coming out, they pointed in the direction of the granary and said, "General, there is a fire over there, and I don't know what the situation is now!"
"It's on fire!" the old man rubbed his sleepy eyes, following the direction of the guards' fingers. Lift your eyes up.
The county capital is located in the center of Pufeng, and the granary is in the south of the city, and the two are not close to each other, but at such a distance, you can still see huge flames rising into the air.
"That's ......," Xu Fang muttered. Suddenly, his heart was shocked, and he shivered, and exclaimed, "That...... That's the direction of the granary?"
The guards blinked and nodded one after another: "That's right, General, it's indeed the direction of the granary over there!"
"Oops, it's bad!" Xu Fang screamed, turned around and ran into the room, too late to get dressed, kicked on his shoes, grabbed his sword, and ran out of the room in a hurry.
"Quick! Quickly call the brothers to gather and go with Ben Shuai to rescue the granary! The granary must have been attacked by the enemy!" Xu Fang was worthy of being an experienced commander, and he judged the seriousness of the matter at the first time.
The guards were all stunned, the enemy was sneaking up? The enemy had not attacked the city, so how could they run into the city and attack their own granary? The guards did not dare to delay, and they responded one after another, and went separately to convey Xu Fang's general order.
Without waiting for Xu Fang to lead his subordinates to the granary, the person who reported the news arrived first.
A sweaty red soldier was led by the guards, and when he saw Xu Fang, the red soldier knelt on one knee and said urgently: "General, the big thing is not good, the granary has been attacked by a sneak attack, more than 300 brothers of our army have been killed and wounded, and the granary has also been set on fire, and now we are doing our best to rescue it!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed greatly, and Xu was still calm, after all, he had guessed that something had happened in the granary just now, he took a deep breath, and asked calmly: "Has the enemy been captured?"
The red soldier who reported the news of "this ......" looked embarrassed and did not dare to answer immediately.
"Say!" Xu let out an angry shout.
"Returning to the general, the enemy who attacked the granary has fled, and the officers and men of our army have not been able to ...... Failed to capture the enemy alive!" replied to the Red Soldier, kneeling on the ground, his head bowed, and stammering.
"All ran away?" Xu Fang was almost amused, he said in a condensed voice: "Our soldiers are all over the city, can the enemy still run to the sky?"
"Yes, yes, yes! but ...... However, we have not been able to find the enemy's whereabouts, and we do not know in which direction the enemy is fleeing, but we have launched a city-wide search......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xu Fang raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "I don't know which direction the enemy ran away? Are you saying that our army didn't even see the shadow of the enemy?"
"Yes...... Yes...... General ......"
"Smack!"
This slap hit the red soldier in the face firmly, and the force was so great that the red soldier was knocked directly to the ground.
Xu Fang is not a short-tempered person, but the current situation has made him angry and difficult to control his emotions. The city is full of its own soldiers, the granary guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are uninterrupted patrols around, but just like that, they were still attacked by the enemy, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, even if they brought a group of pigs, they couldn't be so stupid!
Xu Fang pointed at the red soldiers who reported the news with trembling fingers, and shouted: "Let Chen Zhong raise his head to see Ben Shuai! Let Jiang Song and Ding Youchun raise their heads to see Ben Shuai!"
Chen Zhong was in charge of guarding the granary, Jiang Song and Ding Youchun were in charge of the security in the city, the granary was successfully attacked by the enemy, Chen Zhong was duty-bound, and Jiang Song and Ding Youchun could not escape the blame.
The Red Soldier was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay for half a second. He hurriedly agreed, then got up from the ground, turned around and ran out.
Xu put his hands on his waist, wandered back and forth a few times, waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the granary!" At this time, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait for Chen Zhong, Jiang Song, and Ding Youchun to come to see him. Go to the granary and see what the situation is now.
He led the people to the gate of the county capital, and just stepped out of the gate with his front foot, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and the foot that had been taken away immediately retracted, he stood up in place, his eyes were rolling non-stop, and his face changed uncertainly.
"General, what's wrong?" I don't know why he didn't leave. The guards on both sides asked puzzled.
"No! go listen to the Wind Pavilion!" the old man suddenly exclaimed, and then turned and ran back.
The general hurriedly followed, and asked, "Does the general think...... The dark warehouse has also been attacked?"
"This time the enemy is obviously prepared, the bright warehouse is attacked, and the hidden warehouse is also in danger!" Xu Fang said hurriedly as he ran.
"This ...... Unlikely, General, there is no enemy attack in the county capital!" the general shook his head repeatedly.
Xu Fang doesn't care about those. The old man relied on his good martial arts cultivation and threw off his legs. It's not slow, either. He rushed into the Tingfeng Pavilion with a group of guards and guards, and after turning to the rockery, he breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the guards were still guarding the entrance of the cave.
It seems that he was really worried, and the enemy just sneaked up on Mingcang. did not dare to rush into the county capital to move the dark warehouse. As long as the dark warehouse is still there, even if the grain in the open warehouse is burned clean, your army can hold on to Pufeng for three months!
Seeing Xu Fang coming with a large number of guards and guards, the guards intervened one after another to salute and said, "Subordinates see the general!"
"How's your situation here? Have you found any enemies?" Xu Fang asked as he looked around and looked around expressionlessly.
"Returning to the general, everything is calm and there is nothing unusual. The guards replied cautiously.
"That's good!" As he spoke, Xu Fang turned his head and said, "Leave a large group of people, be sure to guard this place, if there is an accident, this commander will want your head!"
"Yes! General!"
Xu Fang sent more people to protect the hidden warehouse, and just as he was about to leave, a guard suddenly said: "General, although we haven't found the enemy, there is something very strange!"
"Huh?" Xu Fang stopped and looked back at the guard who was speaking.
"It's ......" The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the ground is surprisingly hot tonight......"
Xu Fang raised his eyebrows suspiciously, then looked down at his feet, his heart trembled suddenly, and he immediately squatted down and pressed his palms on the ground.
No, there was not the slightest coldness on the ground, but it was still a little warm, and it was late at night, not in the daytime when the sun was shining, which was too abnormal.
Xu Fang instantly broke out in a cold sweat, didn't say a word, stood up violently, and strode into the cave.
As soon as he opened the first stone door, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and although there was no smoke in the corridor, the temperature was frighteningly high.
Oh no! Xu Fang secretly screamed, trot all the way down the steps of the corridor, and went down to the inner end of the corridor.
The further he walked in, the higher the temperature, and after walking this section of steps, his single clothes were soaked with sweat.
He also wanted to open the second stone door, but as soon as his palm touched the wall, he screamed like electricity, and hurriedly took it back, and then looked at his palm, which was red and swollen, which was scalded by the high temperature of the wall.
Xu Fang didn't have time to check the burns on his palm, let out the dark energy, covered the armor, and then touched the mechanism again, opening the second stone door.
As soon as the stone gate was opened, it was as if the gate had been opened, and a thick cloud of smoke poured out, instantly submerging the tunnel.
Xu Fang was unprepared, choked by the sudden smoke, and the old man took two steps back, bent down in pain, and coughed repeatedly.
The guards behind covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and rushed to Xu Fang's approach, shouting: "The general is dangerous, quickly exit the city!"
He also wanted to push everyone on the left and right away, but the violent coughing made him unable to exert his strength, and he let the guards help him out of the corridor, while intermittently saying, "Fight the fire...... Hurry up and call someone to put out the fire......"
The guards grinned secretly, how can we save this fire? If the hidden warehouse is in an open place, then it is easy to say, but the hidden warehouse is deep underground, and we have to pass through this long corridor, and at this time it is full of smoke, and people can't even breathe, so how can we talk about fighting the fire?
Regardless of whether the fire in the dark warehouse can be extinguished or not, the people who should do it still have to be done, and the guards organized manpower, masked their faces with sweat towels, carried buckets, and charged into the corridor like a death squad.
However, it is impossible to see in the corridor, and people can only splash the water in the bucket by feeling, and it is unknown whether it has been splashed into the dungeon.
It can be said that it is several times more difficult to rescue the fire in the hidden warehouse than it is several times more difficult to rescue the fire in the open warehouse, even if there are more people fighting the fire, when entering the corridor, they can only enter one by one, and the water brought in may not be poured in the right place, so how can the fire in the hidden warehouse be extinguished?
One night, Xu put in the Pufeng City carefully arranged two granaries both caught fire, the worst thing is that the fire in the light and dark warehouses can not be controlled, looking at the out-of-control fire, smelling the smell of burnt grain, people are all anxious, but there is nothing to do.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the fire in the two granaries gradually weakened, but in the same way, most of the grain stored in the two granaries was burned to the ground, and even if there was some left, it was burned so black and charred that it was no longer for human consumption. (To be continued......)
