Wang Man has never read a book, and before joining the army, what he cared about every day was to plough cattle and fields except for his parents, wife and children, and he could not hear anything outside the window, so if he didn't involve himself, it didn't matter to him who won or lost on both sides, he couldn't figure out who was right about this group of fierce gods and the battalion generals, and now it is the most important thing to be obedient and obedient to save his life.

The other three were not stupid, they all expressed their willingness to cooperate, and the four of them knew everything and said everything, answering the question asked by the man 1510.

After a while, the man finished asking, nodded to the people around him and said offended, Wang Man and the four of them were trapped in a sturdy knot, with a ball of cloth stuffed in their mouths, and a black cloth bag on their heads thrown into the dense bushes, they were extremely nervous, for fear that the other party would not be trustworthy, until they heard their footsteps go away, they grew a breath and sobbed.

In the barracks at the foot of Baiquan Mountain, seventeen black shadows walked silently in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the bonfire, and entered the center of the barracks.

Thirteen days ago, in Gao Hong's military tent in the city of Qu Ninja, Liu Qi agreed with Liu Hong on the plan to go deep behind the enemy line to burn grain and grass, and that night Gan Ning led a carefully selected 25 people to climb down from the top of the city and sneak into the dense forest to sneak out of the encirclement of the rebels.

Originally, the various departments in the city took the initiative to send hundreds of candidates in order to please Liu Qi, these people are all locals, familiar with the terrain and skillful, but in Gan Ning's opinion, less than one of the ten that meets the required conditions, and what can satisfy Liu Qi is even more none, fortunately, the plan does not need too many manpower, and after screening Gan Ning, only twenty-one people were left, plus himself and the four subordinates brought from Jiangling who were not injured to form a death squad of twenty-six people, and set off at night under the eyes of many sympathetic or gloating.

Originally, Liu Qi was going to follow, although his kung fu was far from Gan Ning, but when it came to climbing cliffs in the forest, Liu Qi still thought that he should be the best, but it was a pity that Liu Hong and Gao Hong dragged him to persuade each other bitterly.

It took Gan Ning only five days and five nights to bypass the official road and come to Baiquan Mountain from the hidden path between the mountains, and confirmed that the rebels were indeed stockpiling food here, and then spent another whole day detouring to the west side of Baiquan Mountain.

They first climbed from the peak opposite the west side of Baiquan Mountain, and climbed to the closest cliff between the two mountains on the mountainside, Gan Ning used a three-stone hard bow to shoot a special arrow tied with a rope into the pine trunk between a crack on the opposite Baiquan cliff.

Tie the rope firmly to the stone, and there is a bridge between the two mountains out of thin air, but relying on the height of this side of Baiquan Mountain, it is not possible to slide past, Gan Ning actually swung from the dizzying rope bridge to the opposite side with his bare hands, and the others tied their bodies with ropes to tie a slipknot on the rope bridge, and they also reached the opposite side smoothly with a little movement under Gan Ning's pull.

To everyone's surprise, there are still many mountain cracks hidden on the cliffs that look smooth as mirrors, these cracks are small and difficult to squeeze past a person, but the big ones are four or five zhang wide, all covered by lush vegetation and trees, and you can't find that there is a hole below from a distance.

Gan Ning's mentor is a worldly master, who lives in seclusion in the inaccessible mountains all the year round, so most of the locals who have lived in the mountains all their lives do not know about the extremely secret places, but Gan Ning is a frequent visitor, which is also an important reason why the local government has been difficult to capture Gan Ning for many years.

With the help of a long rope, Gan Ning swung from here to another crack more than ten zhang away, which went deep into the belly of the mountain, connected to a karst cave to the peak, and lowered the long rope from the peak, Gan Ning assisted others and various materials to climb upward.

From the opposite mountain, here is only a stone's throw away from the peak, can climb for two whole days, fell to death nine people, the rest of the people all climbed to the peak, the arduous process is really unimaginable to ordinary people, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward, the remaining sixteen people all understand that success is in front of them, glory and wealth are at your fingertips, although tired but the eyes are full of expectation, eager to try.

However, the test for them does not seem to be over, when Gan Ning carefully observed the rebel camp but found that the laziness of the rebels created a big trouble for them, according to common sense, the hoarding of grain and grass should be stored in a centralized manner, with bamboo and wood as the base, the periphery of the wood as a wall, and the top of the artemisia grass and oil cloth, and the rebels obviously in order to save trouble directly stacked the grain on the spot, which is not only easy to make the grain damp and moldy but also difficult to prevent rats and insects, more importantly, the fire can only be burned from all sides, to burn to the grain center is half the effort.

Moreover, the rebels piled up hundreds of short and fat grain stacks, and the positions of each grain stack were also disorderly, and there was no smooth passage in the middle, so you can imagine how chaotic it would be when transporting a large number of grains, and the fire oil they were carrying at the moment was not enough to burn so many grain stacks!

There were still a few days before the deadline for formulating the plan, and he couldn't do it immediately if he didn't find out the situation of the rebel guards anyway, so Gan Ning immediately ordered to lurk and carefully observe the enemy camp to discuss countermeasures.

It's a pity that the sixteen team members don't know a few big characters, where can there be any clever plan, Gan Ning had no choice but to venture out of the camp alone after nightfall, the people in this camp are not idle, the outer line of defense is interlocking and easy to defend and difficult to attack, the position of the sentry is also bright and dark, although the number is not much, but some of the secret sentry camouflage is extremely ingenious, if there is no Wang Man and others revealed, unless all the sentry guards are asleep, otherwise Gan Ning will definitely be discovered.

Fortunately, the people who set up the camp never imagined that someone could attack from behind the camp, let alone that the carefully arranged sentry posts would be exposed by their own people, so all the secret posts were seen through by Gan Ning, and it only took Gan Ning two nights to feel the entire camp clearly.

The rebels were extremely lax from top to bottom, if they started in the second half of the night when the sentinels were drowsy, Gan Ning was completely sure that he would solve all the sentinels within two teas (ten minutes), and there were also some fire oil and firewood in the enemy camp that could be used, the enemy camp was built according to the trend of the hillside, the front was low and the back was high, although it was winter now, but the wind direction in the mountains was always opposite to the mountain, if a fire broke out from the front of the enemy camp, it was not difficult to sweep all the grain stacks with the wind, and the lack of fire did not affect the overall situation.

The only thing that is difficult to solve is that the rebels' camp tents and grain stacks are far apart, because there is no gap between the grain stacks and the ground, it takes a while to stabilize the fire after the fire starts, is there a way to ignite all the grain stacks at the same time, once it is discovered in advance, the rebels have no time to divide and extinguish the fire, Gan Ning has only sixteen people in his hands, and he can only watch the success fall short in the face of thousands of rebels.

After discussing this all night, they could not come up with any solution, and finally the man made a difficult idea, that is, after the fire broke out, drive the horses in the stables to create chaos in the enemy camp, and try to interfere with the rebels to fight the fire, until the fire is uncontrollable, and then find an opportunity to kill the enemy camp.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, everyone knew that doing so would mean that they would die with the rebels, and the seventeen of them were too small in front of the rebels, and even the thought of the crazy blow of the rebels who were eager to extinguish the fire made everyone shudder.

After a lot of hardships, they finally saw the hope of victory, but the last step was to sacrifice themselves in exchange for victory, and everyone was struggling fiercely in their hearts.

Death for a confidant!

Gan Ning has been adrift for many years, and he has never met a talent, seeing that he finally met Liu Qi, who appreciated him, although he was very unwilling, but thinking of what Liu Qi had done for himself, Gan Ning sighed and made up his mind to act according to this plan.

The others saw Gan Ning being the first to stand up and had to agree, no way, their families were all forbearing, if they couldn't bear it, their families would definitely be slaughtered, and no one could escape from Baiquan Mountain alive without Gan Ning, it was better to die a heroic death, at least they could get a lot of money for their families after the war.

After figuring it out, everyone stared at the rebel camp with all their might, remembering the location of the grain stacks and tents, the number of guards and the law, and imagining in their minds the whole process of the operation over and over again, and at the same time constantly praying to the heavens to complete the task and be lucky enough to escape from the enemy camp and return triumphantly.

Perhaps it was their prayers that really touched the gods in the sky, and on the eleventh night after the departure, Gan Ning led sixteen daredevils to quietly approach the rebel camp, and was about to die generously, when he suddenly found dozens of carriages driving outside the camp, which were not filled with grain and grass, but a jar of wine.

There is a turnaround!

Gan Ning decisively ordered the operation to be suspended and infiltrated the enemy camp again to investigate, only to learn that the rebel garrison captain was going to reward the whole army in two days on the Xia Yuan Festival, when everyone in the rebels would be able to drink bitterly.

When Gan Ning excitedly told the good news, the others cheered happily and almost got carried away, no matter how much alcohol they had, if each rebel soldier drank three bowls of wine, then they would definitely sleep very heavily in the second half of the night, then they would have enough time to set fire to all the grain stacks, and they would no longer have to fight with a hundred times the number of rebels!

Before entering the dense forest, Gan Ning looked in the direction of Qu Ren with worry, and his late action for two days meant that Liu Qi and the Qu Ren defenders would have to endure for two more days under the fierce offensive of the rebels, but if they were in a hurry now, how much grain and grass could be burned by the rebels Gan Ning was really uncertain, and if he didn't die if he didn't die, he would be devoured by snakes, as long as the grain and grass left behind was enough for the rebels to consume for three or five days, then it was conceivable how crazy the attack would be on Qu Ninja City!

The pressure on the hearts of the daredevils was greatly reduced, but at the same time, the defenders and their two generals in the city of Qu Ninja, Zheng Xiong and Liu Qi were haggard, on the third day after Gan Ning's departure, the rebels suddenly concentrated their forces to attack the city from three sides, the offensive was more fierce than any before, after the mobilization of the defenders in the north of Kaesong, thousands of elite soldiers suddenly appeared in the north that had not moved, and the defenders were caught off guard by the rebels in one fell swoop to capture the city wall and put down the drawbridge, as a result, the defenders desperately counterattacked and destroyed the drawbridge to cut off the rebels' offensive, It took a whole day to clear the rebels who had broken into the city.

Although the strong city defense was broken by the rebels in the end, the morale of the defenders suddenly plummeted, and the news of the shortage of food and grass in the city was impossible to block for a long time.
