The group of people followed the direction pointed by the Tatar soldiers and found all the land in the hay shed. The troops sent out by Zhu Li Rabbit this time, together with the team of Bu Shi Rabbit, numbered nearly 100,000 people, and the people needed to feed the horses. The quantity of supplies is huge. The Tatar army does not have a unified logistics department. Each tribe is responsible for preparing, transporting and storing grain and grass by itself. The forage shed discovered by Shi Xiangui and others is where a relatively large tribe stores grain and grass. They When I walked up to it, I discovered that there were dozens of Tatar soldiers guarding the hay shed. They were obviously afraid that something would happen and the food and grass would be damaged.
"Master Shi Jun, this must be their hay shed. How should we burn it?" Su He asked Shi Xiangui in a low voice.
Shi Xiangui took out a cylinder about an inch in diameter and half a foot long from his pocket, played with it for a while, then handed it to Su He and asked: "Su He, do you have any way to prevent the other party from finding out?" , stuff this thing into their haystack?"
"Is it enough to just stuff it in?" Su He asked.
Shi Xiangui said: "Yes, as long as you stuff it into the hay pile, your task will be completed. Don't worry, this thing will not burn immediately. You will have enough time to escape."
"Then let me give it a try." Su He said.
As he said this, Su He drove his horse to the guards of the hay shed and spoke a few Tatar words to them loudly. The meaning was nothing more than that he had just returned from patrolling and his horse was hungry, so he asked the guards to give it to him. The Tatars have always had a tradition of helping each other. It is normal to ask for some fodder from others, and it is generally not easy for others to refuse.
Sure enough, after Su He finished speaking, a man who looked like a general came over. He briefly questioned Su He, and then pointed to the hay shed, indicating that Su He could go in and pack some hay to feed the horses.
Shi Xiangui and two soldiers from the survey camp hid in a dark place where the torches could not shine, watching Su He's every move. Su He calmly jumped off the horse and pulled off a piece of cloth from the horse's back. Bag. He walked straight to the hay shed. After a while, he came out of the shed carrying half a bag of hay, thanked the Tatar general, then mounted his horse and drove away.
Shi Xiangui and others spotted the direction Su He was leaving and urged their horses to follow. When they came to a place where people were being carried away, Shi Xiangui asked anxiously: "How is it, Su He, is it done?"
"It's done, it's done, Master." Su He said. "I took advantage of the opportunity to load the fodder and stuffed that thing in the middle of a pile of fodder. Do you think it's okay, Master?"
"Well done!" Shi Xiangui patted Su He on the shoulder, "After I get back, I will go to General Su to ask for a reward for you. For your merits, I can at least reward you with 20 taels of snowflakes and silver."
Su He's eyes lit up: "Is that really true? That's great. By the way, Master Jun, I just stuffed that thing in. I didn't see any movement from it. Can it really set fire?"
Shi Xiangui smiled and said: "That thing was made by our General Su, and it's called a delayed fire tube. When I gave it to you, I pulled the string. After an hour, it will burn by itself, and it can burn this thing." All the fodder for the shed has been reimbursed."
"What kind of magical baby is this!" Su He exclaimed.
The magical baby Su He mentioned is actually just a glass tube filled with substances such as concentrated sulfuric acid, potassium permanganate, and starch. Various substances are separated by metal sheets and cannot come into contact with each other. When using, operate Or pull open a ring and make the concentrated sulfuric acid come into contact with the metal sheet. After a period of time, a hole will be corroded in the metal sheet, allowing several substances to mix, causing a chemical reaction, generating a large amount of heat, and causing a fire.
Naturally, Shi Xiangui and the others couldn't explain this principle clearly. However, they were used to all kinds of novel objects designed by Su Hao, and they were not surprised at all when they saw something like this.
"Let's go and find the next hay shed." Shi Xiangui said to everyone, and the group of people rode horses and ran to other places.
More than a dozen squadrons from the reconnaissance camp bumped into each other from east to west in the Tatar army's camp. When they encountered an important target, they dropped a few fire tubes and waited for them to work. Everyone turned closer.
After an hour, they estimated that the fire tube left behind was about to explode, and then they hurriedly left the Tatar camp and ran towards the dark wilderness. They walked back and forth in the camp and finally left the camp without causing any disturbance.
The Tatar army did not pay any attention to it, because the composition of this team, which was composed of many tribes, was too complicated, and no one knew who was coming and going.
"call!"
In the middle of the night, when the officers and soldiers of the Tatar army fell into a deep sleep, a ball of flame suddenly rose in the middle of the camp. The location of the fire was in the center of a hay shed. In the blink of an eye, all the hay piled around was ignited.
It burned, and the fire burst into flames, suddenly turning the night sky red.
"What's going on!" Zhulitu was awakened by the shouting outside in his sleep. He rushed out with his clothes on and saw a camp in the distance with flames shooting into the sky, accompanied by the noise of people and horses turning on their backs, and it was a mess.
.
"Report! There is a fire in the hay shed in Menggen, and they are putting out the fire now." The soldiers ran over and reported to Litu. As the coach's soldiers, they must grasp everything in time in order to report to the coach.
"Why did it catch fire?" asked the rabbit.
The soldier said: "It hasn't been found out yet. According to speculation, the soldier Dian Songming may have accidentally burned the fodder."
"Impossible! Someone must have set the fire. Go tell the leader of the Meng Gen tribe and ask him to seal off the camp and not allow anyone to enter or exit at will. Then search the entire camp to see if the Ming army sneaked in and set the fire." Zhulitu ordered.
"Yes!" the soldier agreed, mounted his horse and galloped away.
After issuing the order, Zhulitu turned around and prepared to go back to the tent to continue sleeping. Suddenly he felt something flash in the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw another ball of fire bursting out in the other direction.
"Come here!" Zhuli Rabbit shouted, "Hurry up and ride to each camp, and ask each camp to strictly guard the camp gates and prohibit any strangers from entering or exiting. Especially where food and grass are stored, more soldiers should be sent to guard them, even a fly.
We can’t fly in. Ming army spies have sneaked into our camp and are waiting for an opportunity to set fire to cut off our food and grass. We must not let them succeed."
"Understood!" A group of soldiers agreed in unison, then mounted their horses and rushed to various camps.
In fact, there was no need for Litu to explain. Seeing that two camps were on fire, the commanders of other camps also felt that something was wrong. They immediately sent additional manpower to guard the various entrances to the camp, and also sent cavalry to the camp.
Patrolling the area from time to time to see if any unknown persons have infiltrated.
However, their vigilance was already slow. Before that, they had not thought that the Ming army would come to cause sabotage, so they did not check the people coming in and out. By the time they started to be vigilant, the soldiers from Kanyu Camp had already done so.
After finishing my hands and feet, I flew far away.
"Boom-hoo!"
One after another, the grain and grass piles and straw sheds in each camp were ignited by hidden time-delay fire tubes. The fire devoured the Tatar army's precious grain and grass, and also created chaos for the Tatar army. Forage is extremely easy to obtain. Once a burning object burns, the fire will be very fierce and will quickly spread to the surrounding areas, including the tents where the soldiers live. For a time, the entire Tatar army camp was full of fire, and the soldiers were running in all directions, and the war horses Screaming miserably in the fire.
When the fire broke out, all the generals were stunned. They had clearly posted additional sentries outside the hay shed. It was completely impossible for anyone to sneak into the hay shed, but the fire started from the middle of the hay shed. And once it burns, it's out of control.
"How is this going?"
Jilitu could no longer go back to sleep. The scouts who reported the news were coming in like meteors. Everyone reported the same news, that is, the food and fodder in the camp were burning for no reason without any warning. No sign of the Ming army was seen in the camp before or after the incident.
"Kaibai, you have been in the Ming army for many years, do you know what weapons the Ming army has for setting fires from a distance?" Zhulitu turned his attention to Kuaibai, who had just been summoned. He believed that only Kuaibai could explain such strange things. Get clear.
Kuaibai had never seen such a delayed ignition device before. He heard that all fire points were under strict surveillance and it was impossible for anyone to sneak in, but the fire started inexplicably from the middle. He was also confused. Confused.
"Big Chief, as far as I know, the Ming army does not have such weapons." Kuai Bai replied.
"So did this fire fall from the sky?" Zhuli Rabbit asked.
Kuaibai shook his head: "So many places were on fire at the same time. This is definitely not because the soldiers were careless, but because someone deliberately set the fire. That's why there was such a scene."
"Nonsense, of course I know someone set the fire. I'm asking you, how could the Ming army sneak in and set fire when our people are everywhere, and then escape unscathed, leaving us unable to catch them." Zhulitu said.
"This... I really don't know." Kuaibai said depressedly. He could guess that this must be some new weapon produced by the Kanyu camp, but unfortunately, with his IQ and knowledge, he really couldn't imagine it. What kind of weapon can remotely ignite other people's food and grass?
"What a waste!" Zhulitu cursed fiercely. In his desperation, he didn't even bother to beg the weak and give in, and just said what was in his heart.
A cold light flashed on Kuaibai's face, but he didn't say anything. He knew that he only had less than a thousand men left, and now he was dependent on others, so he had no capital to challenge Jilitu. He had a plan to use Jilitu instead. plan, but this plan will take a long time to be realized, and now he can only accept all kinds of humiliation from Litu.
"Go down, take your people, and patrol outside the camp to prevent the Ming army from taking advantage of the chaos to rob the camp." Zhuli Rabbit said.
"I will obey your orders!" Kuai Bai agreed and exited Zhuli Rabbit's tent. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and faster novels!
