Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 357
Qin Shou’s Kongming Lantern is different from ordinary Kongming Lanterns. It borrows part of the functions of hot air balloons. There is a large barrel below, which contains kerosene and combustibles. Shou used scientific means to calculate the time it took for the fire to burn through the base.

When everything was settled, it was already late at night. Zhao Li led Qin Shou and his party to the city wall again, pointed in one direction and said, "Walking 3000 meters ahead is their grain and grass storage area. It is heavily guarded and it is difficult for mosquitoes to enter."

Qin Shou smiled faintly, looked up at the direction of the wind, and with a confident smile on his face, he waved and shouted, "Let go!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded, and immediately fueled up and lit the fire. The Kongming lanterns slowly rose into the sky, and the fire illuminated the night sky. Driven by the wind, hundreds of mutated large Kongming lanterns slowly flew towards the Jinbing Camp.

Jin Bing, who was on guard at night, soon noticed something strange in the sky, and stared curiously with wide-eyed eyes, wondering what happened in the sky?It's not a festival, why are they flying so many lanterns?

"What's going on?" Taran hadn't slept yet, and when he heard the commotion outside, he suddenly felt annoyed.

"General, look at the sky." Someone pointed at the night sky and called out to Tarlan.

Tarlan looked up, the muscles on his face twitched, he looked at it for a while, but he didn't understand what it meant?help?They rushed in a batch of reinforcements only during the day, and there should be no more reinforcements.

Is it a signal that everything should be done inside and outside?It's not right, the signal can't be put so much, what does this mean?Tarlan turned his gaze to Chuzhou City, unable to figure out what Zhao Li's move meant.
Qin Shou and his entourage stood silently on the city wall, their eyes fixed on the night sky, and they were so nervous that their breathing became short of breath.

"Can it be done? Can it really be done?" Li Yan first rubbed his hands, his eyes widened, for fear of missing a good show.

"Yes, I'm flying there." Zhao Li replied subconsciously.

With his hands behind his back, Qin Shou also looked up at the night sky, silently counting the time in his heart, and all the soldiers were also looking up, clenched their fists nervously.

"If it works, we, we might as well go out and mess with them." Zhao Li suddenly suggested.

"Are you ready to send troops?" Qin Shou asked back.Qin Shou would not fight without preparation, these soldiers were all his painstaking efforts, and Qin Shou would feel distressed for a long time if he injured any one of them.

Zhao Li babbled, he had been busy with the Kongming Lantern, and he really had no plan for a sneak attack.

Tarlan raised his head and stared at the night sky, his brows were furrowed tightly, a bad feeling welled up in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, and what kind of bad influence could these lights fly on his side? Woolen cloth?
Before Talan could figure it out, a Kongming lantern suddenly ignited a fire, and the rope hanging from the barrel was quickly burnt, and a rain of fire fell from the sky, like a midnight elf, towards Tarlan's barracks .

"No!" Tarlan yelled, and immediately figured it out, these Song people were too cunning, they wanted to set fire to food from the sky, and immediately organized an army to fight the fire.

Zhao Li felt his hands itch, turned around a few times, looked at the soldiers standing beside him, and asked loudly, "Are you all ready to fight?"

"Have!"

"Battle! Fight! Fight!"

Qin Shou looked back at this group of people, then looked at the chaotic golden soldiers, shook his head, and disagreed to send troops. There were only a few hundred Kongming lanterns, but there were 10,000+ golden soldiers outside, so it was almost as good as rushing out to deliver food to others.

Li Yan first saw that Qin Shou disagreed, and he also dismissed the idea of ​​sending troops. His soldiers were all exhausted troops. They wandered on the Huai River for many days and fought a tough battle during the day. It is conceivable to send troops now.

Not wanting these people to go out to die, Qin Shou had no choice but to analyze the battle situation to Zhao Li, from the comparison of troops to the comparison of troops. Of course, the strength of the latter is the strength of the soldiers.

They hadn't eaten for many days, and their strength must be incomparable to that of Jin Bing. If it was a hand-to-hand fight, they would be seeking their own death. Qin Shou definitely disagreed.

He was also too excited, so he forgot that he was leading a tired army, and the defense of the city was still insufficient, and attacking the enemy was to attack the enemy's strengths with his own weaknesses, so he had no choice but to give up his thoughts and look outside the city.

Tart jumped lazily. He didn't expect the people of Song Dynasty to be so treacherous. They actually thought of this kind of fire attack. The mixture of substances was poured from high altitude, causing a sea of ​​fire.

Although there are many golden soldiers, it is obviously a fool's dream to quickly extinguish them. Looking at the chaotic golden soldiers, Qin Shou yawned and said to Zhao and Li: "My lords, I am tired, let's go to rest first. Now, you should rest early too."

"Please, Mr. Qin."

"Please!" Zhao Li recruited his own soldiers and asked him to take Qin Shou and the brothers from Jiandaoying to rest, while he and Li Yanxian stood on the city wall and continued to watch, the more they watched, the more fun they became.

Qin Shou walked halfway, frowned and thought, no, there is still one thing that has not been arranged, the food and grass on the Huaihe River must be transferred, and it cannot be snatched away by Tarlan. Thinking of this, he immediately wrote a note, Recruit Xiao Jin and let him deliver the letter.

He told Niu Ben to lead his people to move overnight and find a hidden place to hide. If he really wanted to meet the golden soldiers robbing food, he would keep it if he could save it, and set fire to the food if he couldn't.After doing this, Qin Shou felt relieved.

When I came to the residence, I fell asleep, screaming loudly, and slept so sweetly.

Tarlan took the golden soldiers to put out the fire, and when he counted, he became furious, pointing at Chuzhou and yelling, the food and grass of the 10,000+ army is gone, and the food saved is not enough for three days, what should we do?

Returning to the handsome tent, Talan looked around, slapped the table, and shouted loudly: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"General, the lack of food and grass is a big taboo for military strategists. At present, we only have less than three days of food and grass. If we can't attack Chuzhou City within three days, we can only seek other methods."

"Is there another way?" Tarlan narrowed his eyes and looked at the speaker.

"General, hasn't someone in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty prepared food and grass for us all the time? Besides, isn't there Qin Hui? I heard that he is now the imperial envoy and holds great power."

"Qin Hui? He, um." Thinking of Qin Hui, Ta Lan squeezed his chin and showed a sinister smile. After a long time, he said: "Yes, there is Qin Hui in the Song Dynasty who can prepare food and grass for us. Send someone to inform him to bring the food and grass quickly. If you dare to lose it again this time, let Jin Nanfeng take care of himself!"

"Yes!" Someone led the order and walked out.

It's a pity that Tarlan's order was issued too late, the batch of food and grass had already fallen into Qin Shou's hands, and it didn't matter to Qin Shou whether Jin Nanfeng was dead or alive, anyway, he was sleeping very soundly.

"General, what if the food and grass cannot be delivered? We still have to make plans early."

This, it makes sense to be lazy, you can't hang yourself on a tree and sit there with your head down thinking about countermeasures.
