Chapter 1498 Who set the fire


    Perhaps humans have discovered fire since ancient times. It can not only bring warmth, but also bring cooked food and even drive away mosquitoes and beasts, creating a comfortable living environment. Therefore, the use of fire is like engraving It is as if it has penetrated into the bone marrow, and under certain circumstances, it is even possible to learn without a teacher.


    Most of the fires are similar after burning, only the way of starting the fire is different.


    When it comes to the equipment for setting fire, for these soldiers of General Zhengxi, if they are said to be second, no one really dares to be the first. If the soldiers received the arson mission, in addition to the velvet and flint-based personal field survival equipment they would carry, they would also issue some canned kerosene refining products, as well as ropes soaked in oil, etc. Wait, enough for any **** with a little creativity to play various tricks in the way of ignition.


    Although the camp at Shiliang is surrounded by water on three sides and a gentle **** on one side, it can be regarded as a dangerous place, but it is only for ordinary soldiers, and for large-scale attacks. If you want to target Ling Jie and Liao Hua Such small-scale elite troops can actually ignore the so-called dangerous terrain.


    In the middle of the night, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the Shiliang Military Village, and those tarpaulin felts that were transported became an excellent fire starter, even if the Jingzhou soldiers in the military village panicked from the mountain stream There is no way to control the fire, which is getting stronger and stronger.


    In addition, on the opposite side of the mountain stream, there are hidden arrows from time to time, shooting those soldiers who went to the mountain stream to fetch water to the ground. Although not many were killed, if all the soldiers in the army village rushed out to fetch water, Liao Hua led this group of people, even if each of them had six arms, they couldn''t shoot, but human nature is always like this. When they saw someone dying in front of them at the water fetching place, they felt afraid, hesitated and refused to go forward, and then even more Many people followed suit and were unwilling to rush out to be a fearless warrior, which caused the flames in the camp to spread more and more, and finally could not be dealt with.


    Zhang Fei had already taken off his armor long ago in the big tent of the military camp, holding the wine jar and refusing to let it go. Most people who like to drink, or see others like to drink, have seen a strange phenomenon. If they drink, they can go to the toilet without going to the toilet, but if they only drink half a jar of water, I am afraid that most people will have the urge to urinate …


    This is the case with Zhang Fei. After drinking a jar of wine, although Zhang Fei was already a little tipsy, he was still unsatisfied. After drinking another half of the jar, he slowed down his drinking speed. There were some jerky that were hard and gritty, but it seemed that Zhang Fei still planned to drink up half of the jar of wine before he was done, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable and drank it bit by bit.


    And when the flames were rising and the chaos was rising, most of the people in the army village were like Zhang Fei, unarmored, some had already fallen asleep, and some were still tossing and turning because their compatriots were grinding their teeth, farting and talking in sleep, They didn''t fall asleep, so most of the soldiers were stupefied at first. Many thought they were in a dream, and they suddenly woke up when they saw the flames and the heat wave, screaming in fright. Running and jumping.


    The tent was lit, the robes were lit, and the hair was lit. It seemed that everything was lit. There were flames and flames everywhere, and the silhouettes of people bumped into the flames. In addition, the autumn wind at night was extremely dry, and the wind helped the fire. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, flames spread from the back camp, reflecting half of the sky red!


    Someone in the camp shouted in panic, "The Zhengxi troops are calling! It''s the Zhengxi troops calling!"


    The voice with some Jingxiang accent aroused the sympathy of more Jingzhou soldiers in the military camp. They looked around in a panic, not knowing whether they should rush to fight the fire or prepare to meet the enemy, and they didn''t know whether it was time To get the tub and bucket, or to get the armor and weapon.


    People hesitated, but the flames did not stop at all. When Zhang Fei swayed and put on his armor and went out of the big tent, the heat wave was already overwhelming. With a "huh", sparks rushed towards him, almost smashing Zhang Fei''s face. The beard like steel whiskers on his head was scalded into twist curls.


    Zhang Fei trembled, and woke up three points from the drunkenness. He jumped on his feet and shouted to calm down the soldiers, and ordered them to get up. The soldiers in the camp saw a leader, and gradually recovered from the state of headless flies, and became a headed fly. After all, the previous fear and panic in their hearts could not be eliminated just by eliminating them.


    Most people who like to drink have extremely high conversion enzymes in their bodies. Beads of sweat on Zhang Fei''s head and body keep coming out. It began to run at high speed, and the sweat on his forehead and eyebrows kept dripping down. Zhang Fei didn''t care to wipe it off, but just strode forward, and suddenly frowned and rushed a few steps, grabbing a man who was panicking. The soldier with a Jingzhou accent who ran and screamed, slapped the soldier, staggered the soldier, and shouted: "What are you calling! If you disturb the morale of the army again, I will kill you!"


    Although Zhang Fei''s men had retained their strength, five red marks appeared on the soldier''s face very quickly. The soldier who was slapped lowered his head, hugged his face, and shrunk his head.


    "What are you waiting for! Hurry up and put out the fire!" Zhang Fei roared angrily, wishing he could slap him again.


    The soldier who was slapped hurriedly lowered his head and agreed, and then he seemed to be in a daze. He didn''t turn around to get any utensils to put out the fire, but ran towards Zhang Fei!


    Zhang Fei was turning his head and walking forward, but he didn''t notice for a while, but the guards beside Zhang Fei saw the abnormal movement of this soldier, and hurriedly shouted to be careful, then rushed forward, blocked Zhang Fei''s front, and turned his hands away About to draw the knife...


    With a sound of "噗嗤", the soldier crashed into the arms of the guard, and then jumped back quickly like a frightened rabbit, disappearing into the swaying flames and shadows with hands and feet, " You killed our brother! We want revenge!"


    At this moment, Zhang Fei realized that a short sword had been inserted deeply into his guard''s ribs, "Damn it! Grab him!"


    However, the camp was originally chaotic, and with the flames and shadows swaying, people were running everywhere, and they couldn''t see people in a daze. How could they catch up?


    "Assassin!"


    "Protect the general!"


    The guards roared one after another, pulled out their swords, and surrounded Zhang Fei, watching any **** who came a little closer, ready to kill him at any time.


    "It''s from Jingzhou! It''s the accent of Jingzhou!" Zhang Fei widened his eyes and looked around, feeling that apart from his own guards, all the soldiers who followed from Jingzhou were potential threats.


    The chaos in the army village became more and more chaotic. Zhang Fei was guarding against the assassins, but the soldiers in the army village did not dare to go to Zhang Fei.


    A dozen or so figures took advantage of the chaos and quietly climbed over the wall of the military camp. Like monkeys in the mountains, they crossed the mountain stream along the original rope and disappeared on the other side of the mountain stream.


    The Shiliang camp was burned by fire. Guan Yu, who was separated from the Wulijiankou by several hills, didn''t notice it at all. The hands are also focused on the north, and no one deliberately bypasses the mountain ridge to see the faint red light on the other side of the mountain.


    When Guan Yu escorted the last vehicle and set fire to Wulijiankou, and walked back, he realized that something was wrong...


    "Third brother!" With the light of the sky, Guan Yu looked at the Shiliang army village that had been burned into a black ground, and even the eyes of Danfeng, who were usually squinted, widened, "What happened to this? thing!"


    Zhang Fei lowered his head in a state of desperation, his face was stained with black ash, and he didn''t answer. Zhang Fei didn''t know what was going on, the inexplicable fire, the inexplicable assassination, and the lingering aftertaste of the alcohol hadn''t faded away, making Zhang Fei''s head feel like a bucket of paste, and he couldn''t grasp the point at all.


    "Second, Second General..." A guard beside Zhang Fei met Guan Yu''s eyes that seemed to be eating people, and said somewhat timidly, "My general...he was assassinated last night..."


    Guan Yu immediately sized Zhang Fei up and down when he heard the words, and saw that there seemed to be no injuries on his body, so he felt relieved, and his tone softened a bit: "Come on! Let me tell you in detail, what is going on!"


    "Jingzhou accent?"


    After listening to the report, Guan Yu frowned and looked around.


    On both sides of the mountain road, the soldiers among the original stone beams were all sitting weakly on the left, one on the right, all with disheveled faces, some with more or less armor, and some without weapons, just holding on to the wooden basins used to put out the fire. There are even some who were splashed with cold water because of the fire fighting, and are now shivering in the slightly cold autumn morning.


    "Withdraw, let''s withdraw..." Guan Yu sighed, "What''s the matter, wait until we withdraw from Anhan..."


    Zhang Fei raised his head abruptly, and at some point there were big tears in the corners of his eyes, "Second Brother, Second Brother, I...I..."


    Guan Yu stepped forward, patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, and without saying a word, went straight forward, standing in front of the Shiliang army camp full of wreckage, and was silent for a while, then shouted orders to gather the soldiers, Reorganize the team and slowly head towards An Han...


    ………………


    Wulijian, although the terrain is complicated, but since Zhang Fei can find a way to go around, it is not too difficult for Ling Jie, Liao Hua and others, but now anyone who sees the red on Ling Jie''s face Yin, I couldn''t help laughing, but I couldn''t help it, so I covered it with my hands, puffing, puffing, like a series of boring farts.


    "What a joke!" Ling Jie cursed in a low voice dissatisfied. Up to now, Ling Jie still feels a burning pain on his face, and even the back molars seem to be a little loose. Damn, this black servant is really **** strong! Fortunately for him, he was not able to stab him with a single knife.


    "Alas..." Liao Hua joked while laughing, "I know, it means that Captain Ling entered the enemy camp and retired...I don''t know, I thought which company Captain Ling went to The kiln, and then no money..."


    "Ahahaha..." Everyone couldn''t help it, and burst out laughing.


    Ling Jie wanted to lower his face, but he couldn''t help himself, holding his face in his hands, pointing at Liao Hua and cursing with a smile: "You look decent, I didn''t expect you to be full of bad water!"


    "Haha, Liao didn''t expect Colonel Ling to be so brave that he dared to sneak into the camp and almost killed the enemy''s general. It''s just a pity that God didn''t show his face, otherwise this time would be the icing on the cake. I''ve got one as a gift!" Liao Hua said, and then looked around, "If you really get it, there will definitely be a bounty or something, and our brothers will naturally be able to eat and drink with Captain Ling! Hey, It''s a pity..."


    Ling Jie understood, nodded, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Isn''t it just a meal? After going around so many circles, after returning, one counts as one, and I treat you! Big fish and meat can''t afford it, but Baozi light wine is indispensable! Let you eat until you can''t stand up!"


    When everyone heard this, they all cheered in a low voice. Their strength seemed to have increased a little bit invisible, and their climbing speeds also accelerated. It seemed that they were going back to the camp to have a good meal in the next moment.


    Ling Jie glanced at Liao Hua slightly, then nodded at him.


    Frontline commanding generals like Ling Jie and Liao Hua don’t have too many personal guards, so they don’t pay much attention to the majesty of the generals, but maintaining the friendship between brothers and compatriots is more important. Being on the front line, it''s hard to guarantee that I didn''t pay attention to some dangerous situations. At this time, if I don''t have my brothers who are desperate to protect me, whether I can come back whole every time is naturally a big problem...


    As for the majesty of a serious general, it won''t be too late to talk about it until he becomes a full-fledged captain. Like Ling Jie now, there are only a dozen or so soldiers around him, and it is just a face given by everyone to call him a captain. However, compared with those generals and schools who have tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in their headquarters, there is still a gap.


    Of course, if you really want to become a strategizing general, you really can''t fight all over the grassroots and ordinary soldiers. You should think more about strategic and tactical matters. It''s okay to show it occasionally, but it won''t work for a long time. For the work of grassroots sergeants and generals, the natural division of labor is different for different positions.


    Furthermore, if you become a general, you still have to eat rough food every day and sleep in straw sheds, just like ordinary soldiers. In the Han Dynasty, when the feudal hierarchy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, what desire and lofty ideals did those generals have for promotion?


    Therefore, for Ling Jie now, when he went to the battlefield, he had a talk, and when the military order was issued, everyone moved forward together, and when they returned to the camp, they drank and ate meat together to bond with each other. Naturally, this was the most important thing to do. And these were originally done by Gong Jun before. Now that Ling Jie has changed from a deputy to a full-time job, he has not adapted to it for a while. After Liao Hua reminded him, Ling Jie realized it and quickly made up for it. The effect was really good.


    Well, this Liao Hua seems to be a good partner.


    Ling Jie looked up at the sky, muttering silently in his heart, Captain Gong, what do you think?
