When they reached the watch tower in the east of the city, Fei Qian and others were discovered by the soldiers stationed on the watch tower.
Huang Cheng and a few of his best men saw that their whereabouts had been spotted, so without saying a word, they rushed into the air watch tower with their swords drawn, and attacked up the stairs of the watch tower!
Beyond the watchtower is the mountain. Although it is a bit steep, climbing down is not too difficult. As long as you repeat the same trick and hang down with a rope, you can successfully escape from Hangu Pass!
The sound of fighting above his head quickly subsided. Huang Cheng showed his head and greeted him. Apparently he had finished taking care of the few soldiers on the top of the stage...
Everyone then filed in and headed to the air viewing platform.
Fei Qian was touching the wall, using the faint light coming from the windows on both sides, and walking up the steps inside the observatory. Suddenly he saw some wine jar-like objects placed in the inner room of the observatory on the side.
And there seems to be a special smell in the air...
Fei Qian walked up to the jar, opened the lid of one jar, took a little bit of the liquid inside and sniffed it, and was shocked to find that it was kerosene!
Damn it!
Fei Qian saw Huang Xu coming over holding a torch, and quickly shouted in a low voice: "Don't come over! It's kerosene!"
Everyone was so frightened that their movements froze for a moment, and their eyes focused on the ear room, feeling a little creepy!
If I was not careful just now, a little spark splashed here...
And there is actually so much kerosene stored here! No wonder no torches were lit on the lookout platform, allowing Fei Qian and others to sneak up so easily.
The kerosene here obviously exceeds the storage capacity of ordinary Guancheng.
There was no oil refining in the Han Dynasty. Kerosene was generally refined from plant or animal fats, so the cost was not low. It was really not easy to collect so much kerosene...
"Be careful!" In fact, Fei Qian didn't need to remind him. Everyone passed this section of the road carefully, especially Huang Xu, who was holding a torch. He quickly retreated, threw the torch away from a distance, and then boarded.
Lookout tower.
Fei Qian climbed up to the air observation platform. The air observation platform was not big, but the surrounding parapets were built very high, protruding beyond the east city wall. In the middle of the air observation platform, a small turret was built.
Bodies were lying on the ground. Huang Cheng was standing in a corner of the watchtower, pulling on the parapet to look outside Hangu Pass...
The lookout tower, like the cock-crowing tower, is an independent building protruding from the east city wall. It is used to expand the attack surface for attacking the east city wall. From the perspective of the lookout tower, you can just see the black
Dongcheng Gate.
The air watch tower is the innermost turret, and the cock-crowing tower is lower. Although it is almost impossible to climb from outside Hangu Pass to the cock-crowing tower and the air watch tower, it is almost impossible to complete the task by sliding down the mountain.
The inclination is a bit steep, but you only need to master the angle, and there is a rope to assist in slowing down...
Although the rope is obviously not long enough, it is enough. The height below is only one person. When you reach the end of the rope, you can jump directly down. As long as you pay attention, the risk is not too great...
Fei Qian looked back at the chaotic scene in Hangu Pass. The fire in the public treasury in the inner city attracted a lot of people's attention. The soldiers who were originally searching on the streets gathered in the city and then moved to the valley south of the city to search...
Zheng Guanling, you gave me a fire before, now it's my turn to give you a fire, a big fire...
It would still be a bit of a psychological burden to burn food and grass, but burning the city gate tower now, well, there would still be a little bit of it, and there would also be some destructive little excitement.
Everyone has a desire to destroy, and Fei Qian is no exception. However, in the teachings and social life of later generations, even using a small match to burn some waste paper will attract a lot of people's attention, let alone
Such a large-scale arson.
but now……
Although most of the city wall on the east side is made of earth, stone and bricks, there are still some things made of wood, such as hammers and gatehouses.
Walking around the line of death tonight, the violence in Fei Qian's heart was aroused.
Burn! Burn! Burn!
It seemed that there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting wildly. Fei Qian looked at the situation around him. The sound of slashing and killing just now clearly made some soldiers realize that something was wrong here. At this moment, a few of them were running into the city. They should be
I have reported to Zheng Kui, and there are one or two team leaders who are organizing some manpower and are on their way...
Well, there's still time!
Fei Qian asked Huang Xu to pick up a few torches thrown outside the lookout tower and throw them outside the pass, and asked most people, mainly those suffering from finch blindness, to hang down from the lookout tower and leave Hangu Pass first.
.
While asking people outside the pass to pick up torches and tear off some of their clothes to make rockets, they asked the people who were still on the lookout platform to remove the lids of the kerosene jars, and then let them roll forward along the city wall, spilling a trail of kerosene.
A long oil trail came out...
Anyway, there are many jars of kerosene, and Fei Qian is like an abstract painter, letting people splash kerosene as he pleases.
"There is also a city gate!" Fei Qian pointed to the east gate of Hangu Pass and shouted. Anyway, it has been exposed now, so there is no need to cover it up!
Huang Cheng picked up a jar of kerosene, bumped it, and then poured half of the jar into the east wall. Then he shook it back and forth twice, and when he let go, the half of the jar of kerosene flew into the doorway at an angle.
, it smashed into pieces with a "pop" sound, and fire oil splashed everywhere...
Fei Qian quickly helped to pick up a jar and poured it into the east wall. Anyway, this side of the east wall was Zheng Ke's government office, so there was no burden at all on burning it.
Huang Cheng and Huang Xu took turns throwing jars of kerosene into the doorway. Although they only had about half a jar each time, after throwing seven or eight jars in a row, the entire city gate was covered with kerosene.
Fei Qian saw that the soldiers in the pass were gradually gathering under the command of Zheng Kuai, and they were heading here. He laughed, and finally kicked two jars. He said hello and grabbed the rope hanging from the observation platform.
, swinging down, but because I didn't control the strength well, I swung too high, and had to hit the city wall twice, and finally got down to Hangu Pass with my teeth and mouth broken.
Then the few people who stayed on the lookout came down one by one. Huang Cheng stayed at the end and looked at the soldiers swarming over on the east wall. The nearest one was almost at the lookout, so he laughed and turned down.
, holding the rope with one hand, pedaling continuously on the mountain with both feet, reducing the speed, and landed gracefully. It was really different from Fei Qian's embarrassed appearance.
As soon as Huang Cheng landed, he grabbed the bow and arrow that the person on the side handed him and just lit it...
I saw the rocket making a mysterious and mysterious trace, and landed on the observation platform like an antelope hanging its horns. Almost instantly, the flames burst into flames and spread rapidly along the traces of kerosene!
From the watchtower to the east city gate, most of the east city wall was engulfed in raging fire! In this way, even if Zheng Kuai wanted to go out and pursue the people, he would have to wait until the flames at the city gate were extinguished. Now,
Well, all we can do is stare blankly...
Fei Qian shouted loudly: "It's rude to come and not go back! Thank you for your service and I will send you my order!"
Huang Cheng and others then shouted: "It's rude to come and not return! I'll send you my thanks! Hahahaha!"
The fierce flames were steaming, causing Zheng Ke's face to become distorted...
ps: The temperature has been so high these days, it’s really uncomfortable to bake...
It seems that it makes sense that all the great people in the Three Kingdoms like to use fire. I think I am already half-experienced now. To actually write such an article about flames is simply self-inflicted...
