Chapter 0401: Fire Rain Meteor
"Another fire?" Completely subconscious, such a thought flashed through Guan Hai's heart.
It's not that he doesn't have enough association, it's that fires in the company camp have been too frequent recently, almost once a day or two, and the most terrible days are two or three times a day!
Guan Hai tried to investigate the spy at first, but it didn't take long for him to find out in despair that the difficulty of this matter was higher than the overnight attack on Duchang City.
Before attacking Zhu Xu, his army had less than 10,000 men, but in just over a month, it had more than tripled.
With the rapid expansion of the army, the momentum and combat effectiveness of his army have certainly increased, but it is not strictly managed, and it has naturally become more chaotic.
In fact, not to mention a thief like Guan Hai, even a famous general like Yue Fei couldn't build the rapidly expanding army into a monolith in the first place. Otherwise, Yue Fei would not have fought so hard and paid so heavy casualties in the first battle of Quanzhou City.
The members of the Guanhai army come from all over the world, and it is good to say that there are fellow villagers, and they can prove each other's innocence, but the population turnover rate in this era is too poor, and many people only know the people in their own village, and it is like another world dozens of miles away. However, the current personnel of the army are from the huge Donglai County and Beihai Kingdom, with a radius of thousands of miles, and everyone does not know each other, where can they clearly distinguish who is a spy and who is a real thief?
What's more, many people are simply coerced by Guan Hai, and they are all unwilling, where are they willing to cooperate?
Therefore, although Guan Hai has always suspected that there are conspirators, he has no choice but to strengthen the supervision of military materials. But the fire continues, and even a clump of weeds will spontaneously combust from time to time. The situation is extremely bizarre.
A spy who burns whatever he catches? Or is it an inherent flaw that the army is too large for management to keep up with?
Although Guan Hai grew up in a strong family when he was a child, because he was still young at that time, he was not very literate, and his command and management ability was very limited.
Let him charge into battle is a good hand, but let him manage the army. But it is difficult for some strong people.
Guan Hai is a little confused, you don't need to know the art of war to rob the house, you will fight when you have many people, run to the mountains if you can't win, and then turn back to exploit loopholes when the opponent's defense is lax...... No, it's the Yellow Turban Army.
can't come up with conclusive evidence, even if he is the commander of the Yellow Turban Army. Nor can we force the brothers to catch spies all day long, and the brothers' protests are also very reasonable: what is the point of risking their lives to set fire to scare people by not burning grain and grass? Is the enemy's spy a madman or an idiot who doesn't want to die?
As a result, the serial fires under Duchang City gradually faded out of the sight of the thieves and became commonplace.
But Guan Hai soon discovered that this time the problem was very unusual. Not a misfire, but a ......
Guan Hai felt something flash in his sight. When he raised his eyes to look urgently, he saw a meteor piercing the night sky, with a bright trajectory, burning and falling into his camp, not far from the place where the previous fire had been ignited.
One by one, meteors slid across the inky black night sky. Spread out above the company camp, it was as gorgeous as the Nine Heavens Fairy was blessing mortals, sprinkling the petals in the Heavenly Palace one after another.
However, the magnificent scene does not bring blessings, but death and murder.
Some of the petals smashed to the ground. Jumped, and it was extinguished in an instant. The other part of the orange-red petals, accurately, or unfortunately, splashed on the curtain made of kudzu or linen, and quickly caused a blaze.
"Enemy attack!" The next moment, Guan Hai's heart-rending shout pierced through the night, "Enemy attack, brothers, rise up and fight!" There are enemy troops attacking the camp! ”
That's not a hellish meteor or a celestial maiden, it's a rocket, and someone is attacking his barracks with rockets!
Those who possess this kind of equipment and are hostile to themselves can only be officers and soldiers.
Looking at the entire Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Kong Rong was besieged in Duchang City by himself, Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu was trapped in Linzi City by Sima Ju's million-strong army, Liu Bei, the Taishou of Pingyuan, also put out fires everywhere in Pingyuan County, and the governors of the rest of the counties were also too busy to take care of themselves, and it was impossible to cross the heavy army and come to Duchang City in the north of Beihai Kingdom.
The only one who can do all this is the legendary Northern Frontier Army under the command of Li Yi, a hussar general who is omnipotent in heaven and earth!
"Damn Sima Ju! With nearly a million people, he couldn't block the road, and he really let the enemy in! The moment he realized the reality of the situation, Guan Hai was furious, and at the same time began to regret it.
I was too careless, thinking that Sima Ju's million-strong army was enough to drain the water of Qi's defense, in fact, this is not wrong, Liu Beijun, who rushed over from the Bohai Sea, was not blocked in Le'anguo?
From this inference, he also guessed the identity of the attacker: it was the Northern Xinjiang Army, and it was the hussar general Li Yi.
Only this person would have come up with such a bold and crazy plan. He is the only one who can accomplish what seems completely impossible.
Because the hussar general used seemingly impossible things again and again to forge his immortal legend!
………………
One meteor after another, like a heavy rain.
That's right, it's like rain, because with meteors, there is also a dull thunder!
In the apocalyptic scene, the flames of death are becoming more and more dense and widespread.
Guan Hai's hoarse shout didn't alarm too many people, the company camp was too big, let alone ten people, even if it was a toad of the same size as Guan Hai, it was impossible for him to shout so loudly and alarm the entire company and camp.
The first to be alarmed were the thieves near the fire, who were either disheveled or naked* and ran out of the tent, rubbing their sleepy eyes and cursing with curses.
They didn't know what was going on, and instinctively let out a piercing scream when they found themselves surrounded by raging fire.
The screams alarmed more people, and soon, the terrible screams joined together and converged into a lament from purgatory, countless times louder than Guan Hai's roar alone.
However, the battalion was still not completely alarmed.
At this moment, Guan Hai had an enlightenment, and he finally knew the truth about the serial fires!
That's right, that's the spy who did it, the spy from the Taishan Army. The purpose of these spies is not to burn their own grain and grass, they are here to step on the plate for the surprise attack troops!
Every fire incident will cause a certain degree of commotion, after frequent troubles, the minions will be accustomed to it, will not react at the first time, anyway, it is not burned around themselves, what kind of tossing and turning blindly, is it that if you run fast, Qu Shuai will reward yourself for not succeeding?
Guan Hai didn't take any precautions, he arranged people to patrol the camp and arrange defenses, and did not completely connect the companies and battalions together, but divided them into several large battalions that were relatively independent.
The most important thing is that he has cleared the obstacles around the camp for more than ten miles, and his vision is quite wide, even if it is a cavalry, there is enough time for warning.
But the successive fires have lowered the vigilance of the thieves, no matter what movement they hear, what strange things they find, they will not react in the first place, even in the current situation, it is the same!
The fire in the camp began to spread, and the fire was reflected in the surrounding area, but the darkness in the distance was as dark as it could be.
In the darkness, I don't know what monsters were, and the low and muffled thunder sounded like a horse's hooves hitting the ground, but it was a little different, duller, shorter, and lighter than the sound of a horse's hooves falling on the ground!
Like a strong wind blowing, the muffled thunder rolled outside the camp, and where it passed, countless new stars rose brightly and fell suddenly, igniting the tents one by one, plunging Guan Hai's camp into a sea of fire, and blowing fear into the souls of the thieves!
The fire is spreading at an unimaginable speed, and faster than the fire is fear, fear that goes deep into the marrow!
Wind and thunder intersect, fire soars to the sky!
More and more minions fled from the tents, not covering their own clothes and not having time to pick up arms, but out of human instinct for survival, they frantically fled to the depths of the camp.
The continuous fires can already be regarded as an early warning of heaven's punishment, and now, the curse has finally arrived, and if you don't want to die under the thunder and fire, you can only escape from afar.
Even the people in the depths of the camp were alarmed, fires were commonplace, but the chaos of hundreds of people running was not commonplace. People have a herd mentality, and when turmoil occurs, no one will seriously think about it, and unless there is some more authoritative person or rule to guide them, most people will only join the ranks of the collective.
The ranks of the fugitives were expanding, and the deadly panic was spreading, gradually spreading to the depths of the company camp, causing more and greater chain effects.
"Stop, there are few people in the Northern Frontier Army, don't run away, kill all the thieves who are coming!" Guan Hai was anxious, and the roar became louder and louder.
He had no experience in dealing with this big scene, but he didn't expect that just because he was stunned for a while, the situation would evolve out of control.
But he knew that there wouldn't be too many soldiers and horses. Sima Ju's million-strong army is not an ornament, and the yellow turbans from all over the country that have been gathered in Qi are not blind. If the Taishan army invades the territory, there will not be no warning at all, and Sima Ju will not just say that there is a small group of cavalry operating in the territory.
What's more, he also knew more accurate information, the Northern Xinjiang army that came to Mount Tai from Luoyang was less than 10,000, and even if he added the army of Gongsun Zhan, the total strength was only about 20,000.
And his own army is more than 50,000 people!
Moreover, Li Yi definitely did not dare to come out of the nest. Even if he dared, Gongsun Chan would definitely not agree. Such a desperate approach would not be done by anyone who is not crazy. (To be continued.) )
