Chapter 111 is on fire!
After some of the soldiers of the Modao Battalion and the brothers of the ants were ambushed, several centurions of the Modao Battalion who remained in the granary led the remaining soldiers to take out the fire folds, ignite the ignition drenched with fire oil, and then threw them into the grain and grass pile.
After confirming that the fire had been ignited, the soldiers of the Modao Battalion quickly withdrew from the granary and hid in the shadows.
After a while, puffs of smoke rose from the granary, and the flames were everywhere, and the fire instantly engulfed the entire surrounding buildings where the granary was located.
The sky-high firelight illuminated the night, and a soldier who was patrolling was the first to feel the light behind him, and turned around to look, only to see the direction of the granary, a firelight rising into the sky.
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
"It seems to be the direction of the granary, you guys, hurry, go and report to a few generals, and the others will come with me first!"
Hundreds of soldiers on night patrol, under the leadership of the commander, quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the granary.
Outside the camp of the second generals Lei Tong and Wu Lan, a scout ran in in a panic, "General, general, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!" ”
Lei Tong, who was in his sleep, woke up instantly, sat up, and shouted loudly, "What's the matter!? ”
"General Qiyu, the granary, it's on fire!"
The scout trembled and said to Lei Tong, as soon as he heard the word granary, Lei Tong suddenly fell asleep, and the whole person quickly stood up, quickly put on his clothes and armor, and strode out of the tent.
Wu Lan also casually approved a few pieces of armor and ran out of the camp tent, and met Lei Tong, "Something happened to the granary?" ”
"You heard everything, don't ask again, hurry up and get on the horse, and go to the granary together!"
The anxious Lei Tong glanced at Wu Lan with dissatisfaction, then turned on his horse and drove out of the camp quickly with a team of guards.
Looking at Lei Tong's back, Wu Lan's face suddenly became embarrassed, but soon a sneer slowly passed through the corners of his mouth, and he said to the more than eight hundred guards behind him, "Hurry up and keep up!" ”
At this time, outside the granary where the grain and grass of the 50,000 army were stored, the five hundred soldiers of the Modao Battalion were cooperating with the two hundred ant members to hide the corpse of the Xichuan soldier who had just been killed and came to fight the fire.
There have been nearly 2,000 Xichuan soldiers who have rushed to fight the fire one after another, and they have fallen under the knives of these more than 700 soldiers, looking at the team of Lei Tong and Wu Lan who are slowly approaching, Di Zhenxing hurriedly said to the person in charge of the Modao battalion on his side, "It's time to withdraw, Wu Lan and Lei Tong are coming with a large army!" ”
The person in charge of the Modao Battalion raised his eyes and saw that the fire at this moment was irreversible, even if this fire was extinguished, I am afraid that the food stored in it would only be one in ten.
"Brothers, withdraw!"
With the order of the commander of the Modao Battalion, the 500 soldiers of the Modao Battalion instantly disappeared into the shadows of the house, Di Zhenxing looked at this scene, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and a group of ant members also melted into the darkness and disappeared in place.
Soon after the two teams left, Lei Tong and Wu Lan galloped over with four thousand people, looking at the fire that had not decreased much, Lei Tong set off a burst of anger, "What's going on!? Is there no one to put out the fire? Come on, hurry, put out the fire! ”
A group of Xichuan soldiers hurriedly carried the buckets they had found, and from a well on the side, they kept drawing water, and poured buckets into the fire.
Lei Tong commanded the soldiers who arrived one after another to extinguish the fire, while Wu Lan noticed the closed houses on both sides of the street outside the granary.
"The fire is burning like this, why haven't these residents moved at all?"
As he spoke, Wu Lan kicked open the door of a room with dozens of guards, and looked through the firelight, only to see the corpses of Xichuan's soldiers all over the ground.
"It seems that it is not that no one rushed to put out the fire, but that someone is ambushing here, killing them, delaying time, so that the fire can expand."
Wu Lan took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, turned and retreated, waved her hand at a team of guards who rushed outside the house, and motioned for them to go in and dispose of the corpse.
After a struggle in the middle of the night, the fire in the granary was finally extinguished, and Lei Tong, Wu Lan and Wu Ban, who came later, and Wu Yi collapsed to the ground in embarrassment, with black stains on their faces.
"Go and order a little bit and see how much grain and grass there is left......
After a break, Lei Tong said to a master bookkeeper, who led people to leave quickly, and at this time, Huang Quan also brought people over.
Looking at the embarrassed four generals, Huang Quan asked in a panic, "Grain and grass, grain and grass, how much grain and grass are left?!! ”
"Mr. Gongheng, don't worry, I've already ordered someone to investigate, don't be impatient." , Lei Tong said to Huang Quan.
"Don't worry? How do you keep me from rushing?!! This grain and grass is the foundation of whether we can defend Chengdu City! Now that this kind of thing is happening, how are you going to calm me down? ”
"What the hell are you all doing! It can actually make the granary burn. ”
Huang Quan roared angrily, his eyes were full of disappointment with Lei Tong and the others, Wu Lan on the side slowly stepped forward and respectfully saluted Huang Quan, "Mr. Gongheng, this fire was not caused by the soldiers guarding the granary. ”
"Oh? Wu Lan, are you saying that the mastermind of this matter is someone else? Huang Quan hurriedly looked at Wu Lan and said eagerly.
"Exactly, I just found some corpses of our army outside, which should be the soldiers of our army who were intercepted by the arsonist in order to delay and increase the fire."
Listening to Wu Lan's words, Huang Quan frowned, took a deep breath, and shook his head helplessly, "What a good means......"
At this moment, the main book, who had just gone with someone to check the remaining amount of food, came running.
"How? How much food is left? Lei Tong asked anxiously, and the other three generals and Huang Quan also looked over.
The master book, who was watching by the five people, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said slowly, "Now, I'm afraid the current food can only be used by our army's 50,000 troops for ten days......"
Hearing the news, Huang Quan's eyes darkened, his body became weak, and he actually fell.
Lei Tong and Wu Lan hurriedly hugged him, "Mr. Gongheng, Mr. Gongheng!" ”
"You ...... You guys...... Hide it first...... The lord ......", said a word intermittently, and Huang Quan fainted.
The four generals had no choice but to act as ordered, and sternly ordered all the soldiers involved in the firefighting to conceal the little news of the grain and grass left, and killed the master who knew the specific amount of grain and grass.
Outside Chengdu, in the Pingxi military camp, a pigeon slowly landed outside Zhao Yun's Chinese army tent, and the guards guarding outside the tent hurriedly walked over, took off the metal cylinder on the pigeon's feet, took it in, and handed it to Zhao Yun.
