Niu Fu Xiliang soldiers also have war horses, and there are a lot of them. Therefore, the camp carries not only the food that ordinary soldiers need to eat, but also a large amount of hay...
War horses are different from horses raised at home. In order to maintain the horse's physical strength, the war horse must have a certain amount of fat. Once the war horse loses fat, it may be a disaster for a team whose main combat power is cavalry.
Therefore, when ordinary soldiers are sleeping and resting, they need to prepare some midnight snacks for the war horses, mainly a large amount of hay plus some wheat bran and beans, so as to continuously maintain the physical strength of the war horses, not to mention that the war horses in Xiliang are better than
Bingzhou horses are taller and naturally have a larger appetite.
Gong Jun saw this group of Xiliang soldiers walking to a tent in the back camp, and then under the leadership of the captain, they talked with soldiers who seemed to be quartermasters, and then moved out bundles of hay from the tent.
…
Hay must be dry and not moldy, as well as wheat bran and soybeans. The leading soldier dug out the whole bundle of hay and checked the quality of the forage before handing it over to the quartermaster and letting the soldiers carry it.
The fodder is gone.
In the middle of the night, give the war horses extra food. For soldiers who have been in contact with war horses for a long time, it is not very reliable to give laxatives to the war horses. Unless you sneakily avoid these soldiers, it is easy to be familiar with them.
The soldiers who were accustomed to the horses found that even the damp and moldy hay would be picked out 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 bad tempers. If they don't get food at a fixed time in time, they will probably make a lot of noise. If they eat a midnight snack, the horses will naturally stop in the middle of the night.
, you can have a good rest, so these Xiliang soldiers came out to serve these elders at this time...
Gong Jun once again confirmed the location of the straw tent, and then quietly slipped down from the tree.
Hay, the best flammable product.
Plus combustion aids.
According to Zhonglang, fierce fire oil.
The name is very famous, but in fact it is ordinary vegetable oil, a product of petroleum and asphalt mixed with each other. It is between solid and liquid. It has very strong adhesion and flammability. If it is not completely burned, it will be absolutely
It won't go out, even if you splash it with water, it won't be of much use. The only way is to cover it with sand...
But the problem is that most people in the Han Dynasty today don't know how to deal with this thing.
Even Gong Jun, there were eleven people, each of them had a small clay pot filled with strong 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 back, and then summoned his men. As Fei Qian's special soldiers who specialized in operating in the dark, they wore black robes, and even their weapons were either painted with black paint or used in advance.
It was burnt by the flames, and it was hidden under the shadow of the trees. If you didn't get close and observe carefully, you might not be able to distinguish it.
Gong Jun lowered his voice, gestured to a soldier nearby and said: "Apart from the camp wall, about eighty paces, there are about a dozen tents gathered together, where food and grass are stored... Ergouzi, you go up the tree.
Let’s take a look too…”
The soldier known as Ergou also nodded and quietly climbed up the tree.
Gong Jun lowered his voice and said: "...There are two braziers hung on wooden frames, and there are two soldiers guarding them behind... Do you see them?"
Ergouzi whispered: "I saw it..."
"Okay, come on down...you have to hit the target with one shot. Is there any problem?" Gong Jun continued to ask in a low voice.
Er Gouzi is the best bow and arrow under Gong Jun, similar to Gong Jun himself. Because there are two soldiers standing guard at the rear camp's food and grass area, it is necessary to shoot the two soldiers first at once, so that Gong Jun can light them.
After the tent, there will be no soldiers to warn you immediately, and only in this way can the flames burn to the point of being uncontrollable...
Er Gouzi opened his mouth and laughed twice: "It's only eighty-five steps. If you miss again, where do you want me to put Er Gouzi's face?"
"Don't be so stupid. If you hit the target, you will be credited. But if you miss the target and make a mistake, be careful that I will whip you!" Gong Jun carefully confirmed again.
"Okay, team leader, don't worry, it's no problem!"
Eighty paces, if you use a bow and arrow, because there is still some wind in the early spring night, it is not difficult to hit, but to kill with one hit, there is a little risk, but this time because of Fei Qian's iron crossbow
It has been developed, and as Gong Jun, it is naturally fully equipped.
For iron crossbows, more than eighty steps are in the flat shooting area, and there is almost no need for much adjustment. In addition, the crossbow arrow is shorter than the arrow, and the resistance to wind is relatively small. The most important thing is that the crossbow can
Charge up the attack, and Wangshan can aim still, so Ergouzi dared to pat his chest to ensure it.
Gong Jun said: "Okay, wait another half an hour before taking action. Ergouzi and I will go up the tree to shoot the people first, and then the tent. The rest of the people will help light the fire and wind the string under the tree..."
× × × × × × × × ×
Time passed little by little, and as the war horses finished eating, the sounds in the camp slowly decreased, and only the chirping of some unknown insects could be heard in the surroundings.
The two soldiers guarding the food and grass held their spears and put their hands together. They were cold and sleepy. They had to guard until they were ugly, and then someone came to replace them. Then they could stare at each other for about an hour before dawn.
The night wind didn't know when it stopped, and even the firewood in the brazier was almost burned out. The flames gradually shrank, flickering and swaying...
Suddenly, a sharp sound irritated the guard's ears, and before his dull brain could react, a pitch-black crossbow arrow was already in front of him!
The powerful power of the crossbow arrow was like a hammer swinging in the air, hitting the guard in the face unreasonably, penetrating through the bones, and flying back with the guard's body...
As the corpses of the guards and the spears hit the ground with a dull sound, one after another crossbow arrows flew out of the night with the small clay pots that had been ignited, drawing a slightly curved arc in the dark air, and hit the ground.
on the tent and surrounding ground.
The clay pot shattered instantly under the impact. The powerful kinetic energy caused the fierce fire oil in the clay pot to scatter in all directions, and also brought the flames to the surroundings...
The flames almost instantly touched the tents that were set up together, burned through the felt cloth of the tents, and ignited the food and grass inside the tents, just like a huge bonfire in the middle of the camp.
The red flames shot up into the sky almost within a dozen breaths!
Such huge flames were immediately spotted both at the entrance of the camp and on the sentry towers at the four corners of the camp. Immediately, the sound of warning gongs resounded through the entire camp. Many soldiers got out of the tents in panic, stunned.
He stared at the raging fire in the back camp, and then under the orders of the non-commissioned officers at the bottom, he looked around like headless flies for water sources and tools to extinguish the fire...
Niu Fu was also awakened by the noisy sound in his sleep. He jumped up from the bed and was about to rush out. But he immediately stepped back, grabbed the sword that was originally placed under his head as a pillow, and swiped it.
He pulled it out, then used the knife to pick up the tent door curtain and walked out of the tent.
"General! The rear camp has been compromised!" A personal guard saw Niu Fu and quickly reported the situation.
When 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 guard quickly agreed and ran to the rear camp, but soon ran back with a sad face and said with a little horror: "General! This... this fire can't be put out... by water!"
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 became paler...
Double 11 is coming again, and those who didn’t buy it last year probably will have to do it this year... It’s a man-made festival... There is only one word for being strong... An hour of fun, a month of instant noodles...
