Their efforts to put out the fire, not to mention pretending, even if they were sincere, were of no avail. The fire in the granary burned from the inside out, like an erupting volcano. It was difficult for people to even get close, let alone put down the fire?
When a large number of Mo soldiers arrived, what they saw was this scene. Bodies, flesh and blood were all over the ground. Cheng Jin, Letian and others were shouting and splashing water to put out the fire. The scene was in chaos.
When the leader, General Mo, saw this situation, cold sweat immediately flowed down his face. He knew very well how fatal the blow would be to his own side once the granary was burned down, and he also knew very well how big his fault would be.
After staring blankly at the burning granary for a while, the officer Mo Jiang came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Who can tell me what is going on?"
Hearing his shout, Cheng Jin, who was "putting out the fire", looked back, immediately put down the water basin in his hand, and ran over quickly. When he got close to Na Mo, he knelt down on one knee respectfully, stepped in and saluted, "Little man"
See General Chen!"
This General Mo was none other than Chen Zhong, who was responsible for guarding the granary. He only saw Cheng Jin's people, but did not know his name. He waved his hands angrily and said repeatedly: "Get up, what is going on here?"
,How did the granary catch fire?”
"Reporting to General Chen, we also rushed over after seeing a fire in the granary. When I arrived, the corpses of brothers were already lying here, and the fire was also burning..."
Chen Zhong interrupted him and asked, "Didn't you see who moved it?"
"No!" Cheng Jin shook his head like a rattle and said, "General, we just arrived and we didn't see a single living person!" The Mo soldiers who were knocked down by them had already been killed by them.
, leaving no one alive.
After listening to Cheng Jin's story, Chen Zhong was dumbfounded. The granary was attacked. Not only did hundreds of brothers die, but the granary was also set on fire. But he didn't even see the shadow of the attacker. This is incredible.
.
He could also foresee that when coach Xu Lengzhi heard the news, he would be furious, and his head... I'm afraid he really couldn't save it. Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his own head.
neck.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhong looked around and saw many of his subordinates staring at him with wide eyes. His lungs almost exploded with anger. He raised his hands and pointed at everyone, roaring: "You guys
What are you looking at me for? Go put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
"Ah...ah! Yes, General!" Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, each looking for tools and water, and went to put out the fire.
There was no water source near the granary, so people had to fetch water from distant wells. Unfortunately, people were unprepared and wasted a lot of time just looking for tools to hold water.
When people came back with water in their hands, the fire in the granary was already bigger and fiercer. As long as it was closer than ten meters, it was difficult for people to breathe. The air seemed to be ignited. It was sucked into the lungs and made people feel "body".
Everything inside felt like it was on fire.
The fierce fire that jumped into the air turned the sky half red. Soon, not only the Mo army soldiers in the entire Bufeng City discovered the fire in the granary, but even the Fengyu Allied Forces outside the city also saw the fire in the city. Many soldiers were wearing clothes.
, walked out of the camp and looked towards Bufeng to watch the excitement.
Now there is chaos in the city of Bufeng. People are shouting and horses are tearing them apart. The surrounding area of the granary is crowded with soldiers of the Mo army who came to put out the fire after hearing the news. However, the effect of people's efforts is limited. They can only stop the fire, but they cannot suppress it.
.
Xu Lengzhi, who lived in the county capital, was also awakened by the noise outside. He walked out of the bedroom wearing a cloak and barefoot, and asked the guards at the door: "What's going on? Why is it so messy outside?
"
When the guards saw the coach coming out, they all pointed in the direction of the granary and said, "General, there's a fire over there. We don't know what it is yet!"
"There's a fire!" The old man rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up in the direction of the guards' fingers.
The county capital is located in the center of Bufeng, and the granary is in the south of the city. The two are not close to each other, but from such a long distance, you can still see the huge flames rising into the air.
"That's..." Xu Lenzhi murmured. Suddenly, his heart was shaken, and he shivered, and said in surprise: "Then... is that the direction of the granary?"
The guards blinked and nodded: "Yes, General, that side is indeed the direction of the granary!"
"Oh, that's bad!" Xu Lengzhi screamed, turned around and ran into the room. He didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he put on his shoes, grabbed his sword, and ran out of the room in a hurry.
"Quick! Call the brothers to gather together and follow me to rescue the granary! The granary must have been attacked by the enemy!" Xu Leng was indeed an experienced commander, and he judged the seriousness of the matter immediately.
The guards were all stunned. The enemy had a sneak attack? The enemy had not attacked the city, so how could they run into the city and attack their own granary? The guards did not dare to delay, so they responded one after another and went separately to convey Xu Lengzhi's general order.
Before Xu Lengzhi could lead his men to the granary, the messenger arrived first.
A sweaty Mo Bing was led by the guards. When he saw Xu Lengzhi, the Mo Bing knelt down on one knee and said urgently: "General, something bad happened. The granary was attacked. Three of our brothers were killed and injured."
More than a hundred people and the granary were also set on fire, and we are now trying our best to rescue them!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed drastically. Xu Lengzhi was still calm. After all, he had guessed that something happened in the granary just now. He took a deep breath and asked pretending to be calm: "The invading enemy
Have you been captured?"
"This..." Mo Bing, who reported the news, looked confused and did not dare to answer immediately.
"Say it!" Xu Lengzhi shouted angrily.
"Reporting to the general, all the enemies who attacked the granary ran away, and our soldiers failed... failed to capture the enemy alive!" Mo Bing knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and stammered in reply.
"They all ran away?" Xu Lengzhi was almost angry. He said in a solemn voice: "Our soldiers are all over the city. Can the enemy still run to the sky?"
"Yes, yes, yes! But...but we have not been able to find the enemy's whereabouts. We don't know which direction the enemy is fleeing now. However, we have launched a city-wide manhunt..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Lengzhi raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "I wonder which direction the enemy ran? Are you saying that our army didn't even see the shadow of the enemy?"
"Yes...yes...general..."
Bang! This slap hit Mo Bing firmly on the face with such force that he knocked Mo Bing to the ground. Xu Lengzhi is not a grumpy person, but the current situation has made him appear.
Angry and unable to control one's emotions.
The city was full of our own soldiers, the granary was heavily guarded, and there were constant patrols around it. But even so, we were still successfully attacked by the enemy, and we didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. Even if we were leading a group of pigs, we wouldn't be able to do that.
So stupid!
Xu Lengzhi pointed at Mo Bing who reported the news with trembling fingers, and shouted: "Let Chen Zhong come to see me! Let Jiang Song and Ding Youchun come to see me!" Chen Zhong is responsible for guarding the granary.
Jiang Song and Ding Youchun were responsible for public security in the city. The granary was attacked by the enemy in a surprise attack. Chen Zhong was fully responsible, and Jiang Song and Ding Youchun could not escape the blame.
Mo Bing was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay for more than half a second. He hurriedly agreed, then got up from the ground, turned around and ran out.
Xu Lengzhi held his waist with his hands, wandered back and forth a few times, waved and said: "Let's go! Let's go to the granary!" At this time, he was so anxious that he could no longer wait for Chen Zhong, Jiang Song, and Ding Youchun to come to see him, and wanted to go to the granary in person.
See what the situation is now.
He led everyone to the door of the county capital. He had just stepped out of the gate, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and immediately took back the step he took. He stood up and turned around with his eyes.
As he kept going, his face kept changing.
"General, what's wrong?" I didn't know why he didn't leave. The guard generals on both sides asked in confusion.
"No! Go to Tingfeng Pavilion!" The old man suddenly screamed, then turned around and ran back. The guard hurriedly followed up and asked: "Does the general think... the secret warehouse has also been attacked?"
"This time the enemy is obviously well prepared. The open warehouse is attacked, and the hidden warehouse is also in danger!" Xu Lengzhi said anxiously as he ran.
"This... is unlikely, General. There were no enemy attacks in the county capital!" The guard shook his head repeatedly.
Xu Lengzhi didn't care about that anymore. The old man relied on his pretty good spiritual martial arts skills to get rid of the two tui, and his speed was not slow.
He rushed into Tingfeng Pavilion with a group of generals and guards. After turning to the rockery, he breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the guards were still guarding the entrance of the cave.
It seems that I really worried too much. The enemy only attacked the open warehouse and did not dare to rush into the county capital and use the hidden warehouse. As long as the hidden warehouse is still there, even if the food in the open warehouse is completely burned, our army will not be able to attack it.
Enough to last three months in Bufeng!
Seeing Xu Lengzhi coming with many generals and guards, the guards stepped in to salute and said, "I see you, general!"
"How is the situation here? Have you found any enemies?" Xu Lengzhi looked around and asked expressionlessly.
"Reporting to the general, everything is calm and there is nothing abnormal." The guards replied cautiously.
"That's good!" As he spoke, Xu Lengzhi turned back and said: "If you leave a large team of people, you must guard this place well. If there is an accident, I will kill your heads!"
"Yes! General!"
Xu Lengzhi sent more people to protect the secret warehouse. Just as he was about to leave, a guard suddenly said: "General, although we have not found the enemy, there is something very strange!"
"Huh?" Xu Lengzhi stopped and looked back at the guard who spoke in confusion.
"It's just..." the guard hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the ground is extremely hot tonight..."
Xu Lengzhi raised his eyebrows suspiciously, then lowered his head and looked at his feet. His heart suddenly trembled, and he immediately squatted down and pressed his palms on the ground.
Isn't it? There is no cold feeling on the ground, but it is still a little warm. It is late at night, not during the day when the sun is shining. This is too abnormal.@.
