Chapter 29 (1/2)
It was night, the sky was overcast, and it was too dark to see five fingers.
On a steep slope adjacent to the valley, Qin Feng, wrapped in thick black robes, is standing side by side with Ling Yuanqing, observing the scene in the valley. There are more than ten archers in black, all of whom belong to Zhao Yuanjin's confidants.
Thousands of elite soldiers in black were waiting in the distance under the hillside. There was also a group of court soldiers on duty at night, who were now dead.
Of course, the scene in the night vision telescope is not as clear as that in the daytime, but we can also see the general layout of the valley. There are continuous rows of conical cylindrical granaries. Occasionally, we can see the yawning and sleepy soldiers on duty.
This place is far away from the battlefield, and it is safe all the time. Therefore, the soldiers on duty are not very vigilant. They never thought that Zhao Yuanjin's soldiers would find this place.
”It doesn't look like a lot of defenders, sir. Let's do it?”
Ling Yuanqing murmured. A thousand elite soldiers took advantage of the night to touch here, and encountered many enemy sentries along the way. Although they were solved in time, they might be detected by the Imperial Army after a long time, so they can't be delayed.
Qin Feng nodded, turned around and walked to the place that the soldiers could not see. With a wave of his hand, the light and shadow flickered, one after another of small stone throwing machines appeared around, as well as a large number of pots filled with oil.
When he took out all the things in the dimensional space, the dead men came and escorted him to one side.
In fact, even these dead men didn't know what kind of identity Qin Feng was in the black robe. Before they set out, they only received a strict order from Zhao Yuanjin. Even if all of them died, they should protect this gentleman's integrity.
Ling Yuanqing murmured and called the soldiers below.
After seeing the catapult and the clay pot, all the soldiers around were shocked and didn't understand how these things appeared inexplicably. Of course, in Ling Yuanqing's strict orders, no one dares to ask.
At the same time, thousands of soldiers and soldiers launched these pots into the valley with the help of a stone throwing machine. Some soldiers directly picked up the pots and threw them down the hillside in front of them. When they landed, they were basically broken, and sticky oil splashed everywhere.
”What is this? Asshole! Enemy attack! Come on Get up for me... ”
After a while, the pounding sound and the breaking sound of pottery finally attracted the attention of the soldiers of the imperial court. Soon, the warning gongs began to ring.
However, it was late. As dozens of burning rockets fell and ignited the oil, flames began to rise all over the valley. And the fire is quite fierce, soon there are many granaries were lit, become a big torch burning in the night.
”End It's over... ”
The commander in charge of the granary was so frightful that his hands and feet were cold and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. Once the granary was burned by the enemy, he could naturally think of what terrible consequences it would mean to the whole army.
When the time comes, not only will the morale of the army crumble, but the angry general will definitely cut off his head to vent his anger. No one can save himself.
”Come on What are you doing? Put out the fire
He roared wildly, his voice trembling with obvious fear: ”the food must be snatched out, it must be snatched out! Otherwise we will not live! ”
The soldiers in the barracks poured out like crazy. Most of them were not dressed in neat clothes. They rushed to fight the fire with all kinds of equipment.
In the open area of the camp, there are many large VATS filled with water. This is the standard configuration of the grain and grass storage area, which is to take precautions in case of fire.
It's just that this kind of preparation works well for ordinary fires, but it's hard to catch a fire caused by a large amount of fuel.
In front of the burning granary, buckets after buckets of water were poured on it. The fire did not show any signs of weakening, but had a tendency to spread.
”Damn it! This is oil fire, with sand Come on Come on Several officers yelled. There are no such devices as foam extinguishers and dry powder extinguishers in the
era. What's more, such fires can only be solved by sand and wet quilts. However, due to the large area of the fire, it will be difficult to control for a while. Especially, there are still pots and rockets falling from the sky, and the fire does not decrease at all.
