Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 710 The fire in the camp

Niu Fu's Xiliang soldiers also had war horses, and there were quite a few of them, so the camp carried not only the food that ordinary soldiers needed to eat, but also a lot of hay...

War horses are different from free-range horses at home. In order to maintain the physical strength of the horses, the war horses must have a certain amount of fat. Once the war horses lose weight, it may be a disaster for a team whose main combat force is cavalry.

Therefore, when ordinary soldiers are sleeping and resting, they need to prepare some supper for the horses, mainly a large amount of hay plus some wheat bran and beans, so as to maintain the physical strength of the horses continuously, not to mention that the horses in Xiliang are more powerful than the horses. The Bingzhou horse is taller and has a bigger appetite.

Gong Jun saw this group of Xiliang soldiers walk to a tent in the back camp, and then, under the leadership of the captain, talked with soldiers who seemed to be quartermasters, and then took out whole bundles of hay from the tent. ...

Hay must be dry and mildew-free, as are wheat bran and beans. The leading soldiers dig out the whole bundle of hay, check the quality of the forage, etc., and then hand it over to the quartermaster to let the soldiers transport it. The fodder is gone.

In the middle of the night, add food to the war horse.For the pawns who have been in contact with the horses for a long time, it is not very reliable to throw laxatives on the horses, unless they sneakily avoid these pawns, otherwise they are very easy to be discovered by these pawns who are already familiar with the habits of the horses. Even the damp and moldy things in the hay will be picked up and thrown away by these soldiers for the big guys, not to mention those harmful substances such as laxatives.

In addition, these are all Xiliang horses. They are big and have a bad temper. If they don't eat food in time at the fixed time, they will probably keep arguing. If they finish their supper, the horses will naturally stop in the middle of the night. , you can have a good rest, so these Xiliang soldiers will come out to serve these gentlemen at this time...

Gong Jun reconfirmed the location of the hay tent, and then quietly slipped down from the tree.

Hay, the best combustible.

Plus fuel.

According to Zhong Lang, fierce fire oil.

The name is very famous, but it is actually the product of ordinary vegetable oil, petroleum and asphalt. It is between solid and liquid. It has very strong adhesion and flammability. If it is not completely burned, it will be absolutely It will not go out, even if it is splashed with water, it will not be of much use, the only way is to cover it with sand...

But the problem is that most people in the Han Dynasty don't know how to deal with this stuff.

Including Gong Jun, there were eleven people, each of whom had such a small clay pot filled with fire oil. Although the amount was not much, once the pot broke, it could cover an area if it was sprayed out.

Gong Jun waved his hands back, and then summoned his men. As Fei Qian's special soldiers who were dedicated to activities in the dark, they wore black robes, and even the blades were either painted with black paint or painted with black paint in advance. It has been smoked by the flames, and it is hidden under the shadow of a tree. If you don't get close and observe carefully, you may not be able to distinguish it.

Gong Jun lowered his voice, gestured to a soldier nearby, and said, "Across the camp wall, about eighty steps away, there are a dozen or so tents gathered together, which are the places where grain and grass are stored... Er Gouzi, go up the tree Take a look too..."

The pawn known as Ergou also nodded, and quietly climbed up the tree.

Gong Jun lowered his voice, and said, "...there are two braziers suspended from wooden frames, and there are two guard soldiers behind...see that?"

Er Gouzi said in a low voice, "I see..."

"Okay, come down...you have to hit it right away, is there any problem?" Gong Jun continued to ask in a low voice.

Er Gouzi is the best bow and arrow under Gong Jun, and he is almost the same as Gong Jun himself, because there are two soldiers standing guard at the grain and grass in the back camp, so it is necessary to shoot the two soldiers at once, so that when Gong Jun ignites After the tent, there will be no soldiers warning at the first time, and only in this way can the flame burn to the point of being uncontrollable...

Er Gouzi opened his mouth and laughed twice: "It's only 85 steps. If you miss another shot, where do you want my Er Gouzi's face to be placed?"

"Don't be so damn blind, you'll be credited if you hit the shot, but if you miss the shot and miss something, be careful, I will whip you!" Gong Jun reconfirmed carefully.

"Okay, team rate, don't worry, there's no problem!"

Eighty steps, if you use a bow and arrow, because there is still some wind in the early spring night, it is not difficult to shoot, but it is a little risky to kill with one blow, but this time because of Fei Qian's iron crossbow It has been developed, and as Gong Jun, he is naturally fully equipped.

For iron crossbows, more than 80 steps is in the flat shooting area, and there is almost no need for too much adjustment. In addition, the crossbow is shorter than the arrow, and the resistance to wind is relatively small. The most important thing is that the crossbow can Charged to attack, and Wangshan can aim statically, so Er Gouzi dared to pat his chest to guarantee.

Gong Jun said: "Okay, wait another half an hour, and then start. Er Gouzi and I will go up the tree and shoot people first, and then the tent. The rest of the people will help light the fire and wind it under the tree..."

××××××××××××××××
Time passed, and as the horses finished eating, the noise in the camp gradually decreased, and only some unknown insects could be heard chirping around.

The two soldiers guarding the food and grass held their spears and put their hands together. They were cold and sleepy. They had to be on duty until they were ugly before someone would replace them. Then they could stare for another hour or so before dawn.

Night Breeze didn't know when it stopped, even the firewood in the brazier was almost burned out, the flame gradually shrank, flickered, swayed...

Suddenly, a sharp sound stimulated the guard's ears, and before his bastard's heavy brain could react, a pitch-black crossbow arrow had already arrived in front of him!

The formidable power of the crossbow is like a hammer swung in the air, hitting the guard's face unreasonably, piercing through the bones, and throwing the guard's body backward...

With the dull sound of the guard's corpse and spear hitting the ground, one after another the crossbow arrows flew out of the night with the lit small clay pots, drew a slightly curved arc in the dark sky, and hit the ground. over the tent and surrounding ground.

The clay pot was instantly shattered under the impact, and the powerful kinetic energy caused the flames in the pot to scatter in all directions, and at the same time brought the flames to the surroundings...

The flames contaminated the several tents built together almost instantly, burned through the felt cloth of the tents, and ignited the grain and grass inside the tents, just like a huge bonfire piled up in the middle of the camp. The red flames soared into the sky almost within a dozen breaths!

Such a big flame was found at the gate of the camp or on the guard towers at the four corners of the camp. The sound of the warning gong resounded throughout the camp. Many soldiers came out of the tent in panic, dumbfounded. Looking at the raging fire in the rear camp, and then under the orders of the bottom-level non-commissioned officer, he looked for water sources and tools to extinguish the fire like headless chickens...

Niu Fu was also awakened by the noisy sound in his sleep, jumped up from the bed and was about to rush out, but immediately retreated, grabbed the sword that had been used as a pillow under his head in his hand, and swiped it He pulled it out, and then picked up the curtain of the tent with a knife, and walked out of the tent.

"General! The back camp is flooded!" A personal guard saw Niu Fu and hurriedly reported it.

As soon as Niu Fu turned his head and saw the fire in the back camp, his face turned pale instantly: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

The personal guard quickly agreed, and rushed to the rear camp, but soon ran back with a sad face, and said with a little panic: "General! This...this fire is poured...no...not extinguished! Immortal!"

"Ah? What!?" Niu Fu's eyes widened, looking at the red flames in the back camp that had been shining for a long time, but his face was getting paler...

　Double 11 is coming again. It is estimated that those who did not buy their hands last year will also be chopped this year...

　　Artificial holidays...

　　Strong is only one word...

　　Chic for an hour, instant noodles for a month...
