Chapter Thirty-Seven: Inner Flowering

The last thing to come on the field was a specially made extra-large fire oil barrel, which was filled with a large wooden barrel full of fire oil. The volume inside is the size of ten small sizes.

Of course, the catapult that matches it is also much larger than the average one. Although it is extra-large, it is not close, and it has reached 500 meters.

The target of the extra-large fierce fire oil barrel this time is a shed made of five wood, and there is a large piece of it in a row.

The hair made a loud shout: "Light the fire, prepare, release." ”

I saw the catapult rumble, and the powerful rebound kinetic energy threw the big guy into the air. I saw it swaying its fat and delicate body, and rushed straight to the wooden shed.

There was a loud bang, and it successfully hit the target in one go. In an instant, a raging fire ignited, and the fierce fire oil splashed everywhere, with strong adhesion, and the high temperature burned the wooden shed crackling.

The crowd cheered and shouted there, and couldn't help but applaud. Everyone unanimously decided to give it a nickname, Big Fat Man. sighed, this is on the battlefield, there are dozens of catapults, throwing big fat people, the picture is too beautiful to think. And I think the catapult skills of this car are too good, and I want to be rewarded.

It was Dashan who operated this catapult, and I was a little embarrassed to hear everyone praise me for being good, but I was very proud in my heart.

He casually saw that there were some jars made of small ceramics on the ox cart transporting these fierce fire oils, and he was curious to open them and take a look.

was stopped by the craftsman's workshop: "I haven't had time to tell you yet, this is a big wild bee, which is very poisonous." There are not many of them, so I caught five nests, all of which are here. Don't do experiments with this, use one less one. ”

Dashan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he was already using the scene in his mind. Such a ruthless guy, if he was thrown far away in the leader's tent, and it happened that several leaders were holding a meeting there, wouldn't he be able to paralyze the entire army. Or it was thrown into a crowded place in the barracks, or the troops were just in the time of assembly.

It's really good stuff, well, it smells so good.

Dashan is very satisfied with today's few tests, and only looks forward to when it will be his turn to exert his strength.

Hong Qi was also very happy, and after the test, he told Dashan to take care of these baby guys every day.

After finishing busy here, I found the commander of the first cavalry regiment, Hong Dong, and the person in charge of the city defense army of Hongcheng, and determined that they could use the lightly wounded and some soldiers here to replace the prisoners.

Because after that meeting, everyone's concerns were not unreasonable. At that time, there was a shortage of manpower, so extraordinary methods were adopted in extraordinary times. Now that some reinforcements have returned, and more reinforcements will come back tomorrow and later, it is better to change it later than early.

The three of them sat there, finalizing the list and the process. Just as he was about to call his soldiers in, he heard a noise in the distance outside, and many people were shouting something.

Hong Mi hurriedly pushed open the door and ran out to see what was going on, and Hong Dong and the person in charge of the city defense army also hurriedly followed behind and rushed out. I was startled and saw many city guards running over there with weapons in hand. Hong Mi hurriedly called out to a city defense army beside him and asked loudly, "What's going on there?" ”

"The report says that there is a prisoner of war riot there, and we are now rushing over to help." After Hong Qi understood this sudden situation, he waved his hand to let the city defense army pass.

Hong Mi looked at Hong Da and arranged: "I'll go and see first, and you can arrange someone to take over right now." Go get your cavalry ready outside. I'm afraid that those armies of the northern tribes will take advantage of the opportunity to make abnormal moves, so you and the reconnaissance company will keep an eye on it, and if there is a problem, you will directly attack. ”

He also instructed the person in charge of the city defense army: "Quickly mobilize your troops to take over other places where there are prisoners of war, and if there are resistors, they will be killed." At the same time, someone was sent to beat the big drum and put on first-level alert. As well as informing several other troops, immediately go up to the city walls to monitor the movements outside. ”

After Hong Mi hurriedly said this, he rushed all the way to the accident site, Hong Mi looked around, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He knew that this was a weapons and equipment depot under the craftsman's workshop, where some half-finished products were temporarily placed. Because of these weapons and equipment, there is a lot of manual work in the back, which requires a lot of manpower to complete.

So I arranged for several nearby tribesmen, many of them elderly, women and older children, to complete the final process here.

After seeing Hong Mi coming, a small leader of the city defense army hurriedly ran over and angrily reported the whole process of the incident: "Because these prisoners of war are about to be replaced, I will take a team of soldiers to collect the spears, shields and other equipment in their hands as required." ”

wiped the sweat off his face and said ashamedly: "We also didn't notice it for a while, even the ropes on the waists and feet of these prisoners of war were cut, and even several places where the ropes were fixed were knocked off and covered with things. ”

Hong Mi wondered in his heart, such a strong and wide cowhide rope had been cut, and these prisoners of war did not have a ration knife in their hands. If you stab with a spear, you won't be able to break it at once. And there are guards on the side, so don't you see it all at once?

Before I could say anything, the prisoners shouted, "They're going to clean us up, everyone." And took the opportunity to capture a few of our men, and was ready to come forward and collect their weapons. The small leader of the city defense army continued: "At this time, I saw that they had already broken free from the rope. ”

"Where's the guard over there?" Hong Mi hurriedly asked.

The small leader of the city defense army: "The guards are standing with them at this time, wearing our clothes, but they are not our people, and their faces are very unfamiliar."

"These guards and prisoners of war were holding a few of our brothers, and it was not convenient for us to do anything, so we went to call for others to come and help. The prisoners of war didn't plan to run away, and the guards who were with them seemed to be familiar with this neighborhood, so they escorted our brothers all the way here. ”

The small leader of the city defense army pointed with his hand: "They rushed into the warehouse, caught several guards inside, and didn't kill them." At the same time, there were many elderly people, women and children who were working inside, and they were also arrested. ”

What Hong Mi feared the most still happened, and the nature was so bad.

Daga, the leader of the spy army, because he was arranging other things before. At this time, he also hurried over for the first time and asked in the back: "Did these prisoners of war say anything?" ”

"Not yet, because it just happened, no one has come out to say anything to us yet. It was quickly surrounded by other brothers who had arrived. The small leader of the city defense army hurriedly replied.

Hong Mi asked him to go and busy himself first, and looked at Daga expectantly: "Do you spy army know what's going on?" ”

Seeing that there were many people here, Daga pulled him to the side and told Hong Mi. In the past two days, the spy army has felt that something is wrong, and there are more strangers in the city, I don't know how they got in. I'm going to arrest all these people and interrogate them.

As a result, the people sent were ambushed in a house and the whole army was destroyed. Several people on the other side also died, and the autopsy found that their hands were covered with calluses. It is estimated that the ones who ran away last time are back again, and they should have a few hiding spots in the city.

So, this time, the secret spy army secretly searched the whole city, and they didn't have time to communicate with Hong Mi.

Just now, the spies found a pit near the prisoners of war making trouble, and there were several corpses in it, which were identified as those guards.

Guess it was after they killed the guards. It may be people from the same tribe who spread rumors that we are going to kill them, encouraging the prisoners to revolt. And cut the wide cowhide rope and put on the clothes of the guards.

As a result, seeing the city defense army coming to collect weapons and equipment, the prisoners of war were convinced. So, they started to resist, so those people could only do it in advance.

Because they had been lurking in Hongcheng for so long, they were more familiar with the layout of the city, so those people brought prisoners of war here. When they create civil strife, they must have some schemes.

After a while, at this time, several elders in charge of the secret spy army also came over and said, "Two of the other prisoner of war points have also been infiltrated by their people, and they are ready to make trouble together. As a result, a large number of city defense troops arrived in time and were all wiped out. ”

Hearing this result, Hong Qi was relieved. He left this place in the hands of Daga, and he took a team of his own soldiers to visit several other places. The craftsman's workshop and the skilled workers inside, the two mines and the skilled operators are all eyeing each other, and last time it was to kidnap the people in the craftsman's workshop, and it made such a big fuss, and as a result, the leader ran away.

The city walls are the last to look at, because there are already several troops guarding them. There are cavalry regiments and reconnaissance companies outside the city to watch, so you can rest assured.

It is now a period of first-level combat readiness, and the tribesmen in the city have already received weapons and equipment. Stay on the lookout and keep an eye out for strangers. Everyone already knows that there are several saboteurs in the city who are making trouble and want to destroy their current happy and peaceful life, so they will not agree.

In the barracks of the Northern Tribal Alliance, the camp fence has been tensely strengthened for the past two days, and it has been tightly wound with bark ropes. And there were also many soldiers on the periphery of the camp, who were densely inserting five layers of sharp tree trunks according to the requirements.

A spear of more than two meters per person has been realized, wood chips or branch shields are still being made, there is no big problem, the raw materials are very simple, and they are everywhere.

Several large shields were also erected around the tents of Zadsi and Hulajan. The two of them were now standing in the open space in the camp, anxiously looking in the direction of Hongcheng, and there seemed to be movement coming from inside.

Behind him, there was already an army ready to go, standing there silently.

At this time, a spy covered in mud ran over from afar: "Report." ”

Hu Lazhen anxiously greeted him: "Tell me, what's going on inside?" ”

Spy: "The plan for the internal flowering has been carried out in advance due to an accident. When I slipped out of the secret passage, the company commander and a few people from the spy company had successfully agitated the first prisoner of war point. took the hostages and took everyone to the weapons and equipment depot. Later, I also heard a lot of movement at several other POW sites, but the results are to be reported. ”
