Chapter 791: Raising Fire to the Sky
In the silence, a 'buzz' sound was sent into everyone's ear drums, which was the sound of the bowstring flicking, and the sound of the arrow breaking through the air sounded, and everyone looked at a string of wind lanterns swinging with the wind on the arrow tower, but they were disappointed, the wind lanterns were still bright, and the arrow actually shot into the air.
Everyone looked around nervously, for fear that the sound of archery just now would alarm the guards, but fortunately, the enemy army did not move at all, perhaps because the wind above the arrow tower was strong, and the ear drums were not very clear.
Then the sound of the bowstring started again, this time a hundred steps through the Yang, and I saw a string of wind lanterns on the arrow tower tremble violently, and then it fell down in a fluttering manner, and with a slight cracking sound, the wind lantern after landing caught fire and burned.
There was a sudden reaction on the arrow tower, and the voice of exclaiming and scolding his mother could be heard, and Su Jin said softly: "Quick! ”
Several of his men with good archery skills pulled their bows and fired them in unison, and the arrows roared, instantly extinguishing the four or five wind lamps on the wall.
"Up!" Wang Dynasty snorted, taking advantage of the dimming of the lights in the four places, quickly rushed out, the grab rope in his hand was thrown across the air and hooked on the wall, the body was as agile as an ape, and he went up to the wall with a smoke and smoke, and everyone followed, seven or eight hooks hooked the wall, and in the blink of an eye, they all went to the wall, and then jumped down one after another, and the place where they landed was soft, but it was a barren grassland.
"Damn, this lamp rope has just been changed for two days, and it broke again; These fucking fools from the logistics department, alpacas, went down and dragged them out of bed for Lao Tzu, whipped them a few times, and asked them to quickly change into wind lanterns. A gruff voice on the tower scolded.
"Dutou, don't be angry, just turn off the lights, the wind is so strong, it's no wonder it will break, more than a dozen strings of wind lamps are enough, it's really easy to break." Someone accosted.
The sound of words alarmed the patrol team in Neiyingzhong, and more than a dozen people quickly ran to the arrow tower and asked loudly what was going on, taking advantage of the conversation between the tower and the tower, Su Jin and the others quickly walked through the open place and got into the tall grain stack.
As soon as he entered the grain stack, Su Jin was in a good mood, in the mountains of grain stacks, it was more convenient to hide, and now all he needed to do was to take out the fire oil bag and light it, but as soon as Su Jin touched the shell of the grain stack, his heart suddenly cooled.
These grain stacks are actually brick and stone at a height of one person, not at all like the grain stacks of the Great Song Dynasty are made of bamboo mats, if you want to burn the grain, it is obviously more efficient to burn from the bottom, otherwise you have to climb up the grain stack to ignite, it is easy to be found, not to mention, but also easy to extinguish; So far, Su Jin is not allowed to think too much, he immediately ordered to turn to the upwind outlet to ignite the fire, and burn the grain stack with the help of the wind.
What makes people depressed is that the northwest wind blows in the summer, maybe the mountain barrier changes the normal wind direction, the upwind outlet is in the northwest direction, but under the overlook of another arrow tower, it will soon be discovered.
But Su Jin couldn't take care of much, and led people straight to the northwest from the gap in the grain stack, the defenders on the arrow tower initially thought it was a small patrol, but they soon found that something was wrong, more than a dozen people below actually climbed up the grain stack, and in an instant, several piles of grain stacks burst into flames, with the help of fire oil and wind power, the flames instantly rose more than one person high.
"It's not good, someone set it on fire." The defenders on the turret understood and immediately began to drop arrows and blew their horns.
The shrill sound of trumpets resounded through the night sky, and the entire barracks shook in an instant, and the defenders of the inner and outer camps were awakened one after another, and ran out of the barracks to look around and ask what was going on.
Someone shouted, "Someone has set fire to the food in the inner camp, and quickly put on armor to put out the fire." ”
Only then did the thousands of soldiers come to their senses, seeing that the direction of the inner camp was already in flames, and a pungent smell of smoke and dust and heat waves were coming with the night wind, they hurriedly returned to the camp to put on their armor and take their weapons and rush to the inner camp.
Su Jin and the others ignored it, risking the bow and arrows that kept shooting from the arrow tower, and frantically lit a fire on the grain stack, and the two companions were accidentally hit by the arrow blood on the spot, and Su Jin was almost shot by a bow and arrow.
Everyone had no time to grieve, seeing that the fire in the northwest direction had become raging, Su Jin immediately led people to the east, because there was a large open space in the middle of the camp, which was reserved for loading and transporting, but at this moment it became a natural fire barrier to isolate the fire, with this open space, the fire in the west would not spread to the east at all, and if it was to be burned, it would be burned clean, so Su Jin did not hesitate to choose to go straight to the east to set fire;
The soldiers of the inner and outer battalions had already swarmed in, and they were a little confused and did not know what to do; Fortunately, an untidy general quickly arrived, and loudly commanded the chaotic soldiers to divide into two teams, one part immediately fetched water to extinguish the fire, and the other part went straight to Su Jin and others to arrest the arsonist.
The fire was sultry and full of smoke and dust, the scorching flames could not approach, and the black smoke also blocked the soldiers' sight, and they couldn't find the location of Su Jin and the others for a while, but the Xia soldiers on the east arrow tower looked down condescendingly, and pointed out the direction of Su Jin and others loudly on it, guiding the Xia soldiers to rush straight to them.
Whether or not they can get out at this moment is no longer within the scope of Su Jin's consideration, everyone only quickly climbed up one grain stack after another, lit one fire after another, and there were fewer and fewer people around him, after igniting the eighth grain stack in the east, Su Jin suddenly found that only Zhao Hu and Zhang Long were left around him, and Ma Han, who stayed outside, did not know whether he was alive or dead, Zhang Long was also hit by an arrow in his shoulder, but he reached out and pulled it out, and his entire left arm was already full of blood.
The soldiers on the arrow tower pointed to the direction of Su Jin and the others while releasing the arrows, Wang Chao scolded and reached out to copy the bow and arrow on his back, but found that he didn't know when the bow and arrow had been lost by himself, and suddenly a figure rushed out of the smoke and rushed over, Wang Chao raised his scimitar and cut it off, and the man shouted: "It's me." ”
The dynasty hurriedly stopped, but it was Ma Han who followed behind, Su Jin was happy in his heart, Ma Han was still alive, this is better than anything else.
"Master, it's almost over, we should withdraw." Dynasty roared.
Su Jin said: "Someone above pointed out the direction, and you can't go." If we abolish their eyes first, we can take advantage of the chaos to escape, otherwise we will never be able to escape. ”
Ma Han stretched out his hand to take out his bow and arrows, bent his bow and arrows to shoot a few arrows at the arrow tower, the two Xia soldiers screamed and fell off the arrow tower, and the Xia soldiers above were so frightened that they quickly shrank back, but this move could not stop them from pointing the direction, and the soldiers from all directions braved the billowing smoke or surrounded them, and their footsteps could already be heard.
"Fuck it." Mahan roared angrily, threw out his bow and arrows, pulled out his scimitar, and slashed at the bottom of the arrow tower, and the dynasty understood when he saw this, this kid was going to cut off the log legs of the wooden arrow tower, but this arrow tower was extremely strong, and there were dozens of pillars below, all of which were big logs as thick as sea bowls, how could they be in time.
Su Jin shouted: "Don't cut it, burn these grandsons." Then he went over and poured all the oil from the last skin on the wooden foundation of the arrow tower, and threw the torch upward, and suddenly a fire ignited.
The traces of the enemy in the smoke were already visible, and Su Jin shouted: "Come with me, let's jump into the burning grain stack lane." ”
Everyone thought that Su Jin was going to self-immolate here, and the dynasty shouted: "Son, no!" Hurriedly followed, a thick smoke choked him and almost suffocated, and the three of Ma Han, Zhao Hu, and Zhang Long around him also jumped in, their eyes were dark and foggy, but there was no trace of Su Jin.
"Childe, Childe." Mahan howled with a sad face.
"Howling? Climb down. Su Jin's voice came from in front of him.
Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly lay on the ground, the strange thing was that there was actually half a foot of space below without smoke, and Su Jin was pouting his ass and crawling forward not far away.
The crowd hurriedly followed, crawling more than ten feet to the south of a grain stack to escape the scorching heat, and then stopped.
"Strange, how can there be no smoke on the ground?"
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: "I don't have time to explain to you, hot smoke is lighter than air, so there will be a gap between the ground, and the truth that three-year-old children in later generations will know, I am afraid that I will have to explain it to you for a long time." ”
"Which of you is holding your pee?" Su Jin asked thoughtlessly.
"This ......" several people and the second monk were puzzled.
"Take out the cloth towel and wet it on your face, the west is the direction of the city gate, the south is where the enemy soldiers gather, and the north is the high city wall, so we have to rush through the smoke to the east camp wall, and when we reach the outer wall of the camp, you can escape with the help of a hook, the distance is a little far, not to mention the enemy soldiers, the smoke alone will choke people to death, and you can't climb over, and you will be trampled to death."
Wang Chao and the others were still hesitating, Su Jin had already taken out the cloth towel and stuffed it into the crotch of his pants, and he pouted in his mouth, and after a while, the wet cloth towel was taken out.
"Why don't you pee? Want to choke to death from smoke? I'm going to pee, I don't have time to ink with you. Su Jin shouted.
Everyone cried and said, "Son, I can't pee." ”
"Bastard, drop the chain at a critical time." Su Jin scolded: "I snatched the black scarf from the hands of the four people and said, "Master borrow it from you." After that, he frowned and pouted, and after a while, three wet and hot cloth towels were taken out and thrown directly on the faces of the four people.
"Put on wet wipes, rush out with me, how many envoys have taken out all of them this time, life and death are rich and noble, and one by one escapes."
Su Jin tied the black scarf to his face, picked up the scimitar and stood up, and rushed to the east with a step; Wang Chao shouted: "Ma Han, protect the prince, Brother Zhao Hu, open the way with me, after Brother Zhang Long is broken, let's rush!" ”
The four of them shouted violently, bounced up from the ground, caught up with Su Jin, and went straight to the east to kill.
