It was late at night, and the soldiers stationed outside the camp were patrolling. Suddenly, a fire suddenly appeared, and a throwing arc hit the ground from outside the camp, igniting a fire with a bang, but after the flames fell to the ground, they slowly became smaller. , eventually extinguished.
"what?!"
The guards were alerted and quickly gathered around. As soon as the fire was extinguished, the ground was scorched black, and there was also a slightly irritating gas. Before they could conduct a thorough investigation, they saw masses of "fire" being thrown in one after another outside the wooden fence and the car camp. .
Snap——
When people get closer, they can catch some traces within the visual range. The "fire" they see is not just a ball of fire, but a round jar that is ignited. It continues to emit flames. When it hit the ground, it spread into pieces and eventually extinguished.
"Someone is making a sneak attack outside. Immediately notify the watchtower for inspection, light a campfire, and check whether the protective measures such as the deer village and horse pit are still intact."
The centurion reacted quickly and immediately carried out basic deployment tasks, while he went to report the situation without stopping.
But obviously the centurion underestimated the danger of this nighttime "sneak attack". After he left, the soldiers who were investigating the situation outside the camp were knocked unconscious by a group of lurking people, who then disguised themselves After a while, he easily escaped the watchtower, quickly sneaked deeper inside, and started setting fire to it.
Normal arson requires contact with objects, but they carry fire cans. As long as they throw them at various combustible objects, it will be quickly engulfed like a prairie fire. In a very short period of time, the camp will be engulfed in blazing flames. The heat melted the ice and snow condensed on the eaves in an instant.
"No, an enemy has broken into the camp. Go put out the fire and drive them away!"
A large number of troops rushed out of the barracks, and the two sides quickly fought together. However, once the Ye troops wearing the same uniforms fought in a melee, and in the dark, it was easy to accidentally injure friendly troops, so they became chaotic.
Zheng Quchi was woken up by the hot fire and the noisy noise outside. She had not slept well in recent days. She finally entered a deep sleep today, but she did not expect that a major change occurred.
The noise outside was chaotic, as if a world war had broken out. The war was happening right under her nose. She got up and quickly put on her clothes, but she saw that Yu Wensheng in the cage had woken up a long time ago. He had clearly wanted to get out of the cage and was vigorously trying to get out of the cage. He was twisting the steel bars, trying to get out.
"Don't make trouble at this time."
She covered her mouth and nose and threw the poison she had prepared in advance into the brazier. White smoke suddenly filled the entire tent. After a while, Yu Wensheng sat down with all his strength, while Zheng Quchi immediately jumped out of the tent.
She put the poison not only to restrict Yu Wensheng's movements, but also because she was worried that someone would break in while she was away. Now that the place was filled with smoke, whoever went in would be unlucky, and each one would faint.
"Where's the guard, Gan Xin?"
All the guards outside her tent disappeared. She heard the footsteps of someone running in front of her, and the shadows of people passing by were intertwined on the tent. She was sure that the situation must be serious and urgent, so that everyone would be in chaos.
"lady--"
Wei Yao and Fu Rong rushed over at the same time. They put on military armor at this time. They were more casual than usual, but at this moment they were solemn and dignified.
"What happened?"
Zheng Quchi asked quickly.
"It was an enemy attack. There must be a traitor in our camp. The enemy figured out the time of our patrol and changing of guards, and broke through the defenses one by one. Then a group of people broke into the camp, set fire and killed wantonly, creating chaos. "
"It's winter and the snow hasn't melted yet. How did they set the fire?"
Zheng Quchi watched the flames in front of him burn up in a continuous pattern, turning half of the sky red. Even if Ye Jun was attacked by surprise, he was still as alert as he should have been. This was because of the opponent's calculations, but it was not as strong as the fire. They all reacted in such a violent manner, right?
Furthermore, she was a light sleeper. Even if she slept a little deeper today, she was still not unaware of the big movements outside. This can only mean that the other party's plan was both urgent and dangerous, and what she was snatching was a lightning-fast move. potential.
"We were also surprised, so we sent someone to inquire about the situation. The enemy threw an oil can outside the camp. It was lit on fire, and when it was thrown inside, the flames continued to burn."
"...Is it kerosene?" Zheng Quchi guessed.
At present, "kerosene" is available in various countries. It is basically made of animal fats and vegetable fats. However, due to its high cost, it is not widely used in major battles. Instead, it is often used in sneak attacks, ambushes, and small battles. Used in traps.
Fu Rong shook his head, "Kerosene" he knew. He also checked the situation near the car camp, and then made a certain decision: "No, it not only has a pungent smell, but also has an amazing continuous burning effect. Once the fire is strong, Once it spreads, it is difficult to extinguish, and it can cause huge fires even in heavy snow."
Zheng Quchi's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this, thinking no way.
"So how is the situation now?"
"Most of the enemies were wiped out, leaving only a few alive for interrogation. It's just that this time our camp suffered heavy losses." Wei Yao said with a gloomy face.
Fu Rong also said: "The fire has not been put out yet, Wang Zebang is leading people to put out the fire and treat the wounded."
At this time, Zheng Quchi was very calm. She said: "The other party must have a purpose for doing this. I am afraid that damaging the camp should not be their ultimate goal."
The construction of the camp was gone and could be rebuilt. After they destroyed the camp, they did not start the subsequent war. It was as if they were attacking in the east and attacking in the west, encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao...
"Quick, Lucky's side——"
Wei Yao comforted him: "Don't worry, Madam, Lucky is guarded by Crazy Swordsmen. Even if they really come for him, I'm afraid they won't succeed."
Zheng Quchi looked at them: "So you came here because you were worried that the other party would be detrimental to Yu Wensheng?"
"Yes, Lucky's side has a highly skilled Crazy Sword and bodyguards, but the General's side..."
As soon as they finished speaking, Zheng Quchi had a vague premonition that if the other party was confused because he couldn't figure out Yu Wensheng's location, wouldn't they be playing into his plans by rushing over?
"咻咻——"
The accompanying guards fell to the ground with hidden weapons in their bodies. When Wei Yao turned around, he saw a group of masked men rushing from the darkness. Fu Rong quickly protected Zheng Quchi and retreated to the side. Wei Yao was the most skilled in martial arts among them. Okay, naturally he is responsible for dealing with these killers.
"You guys should get out of the way!"
As soon as Wei Yao fought, he knew that these people were not easy to fight. One against five was really difficult, so he could only find a way to force Ye Jun to come to support him, but the other party was obviously not trying to deal with him. They acted in tacit understanding and dispersed into two groups. Some people struggled with Wei Yao, while another group of people went around him to the rear tent.
"General——"
Fu Rong had been watching the other party's actions closely. When he saw the other party breaking into the camp, his expression suddenly changed. He didn't care so much and planned to rush forward to stop him.
But he was grabbed by Zheng Quchi behind him.
"do not go--"
"Madam..." Fu Rong turned to look at her in shock.
Zheng Quchi said with determination in his eyes: "Don't go, he will be fine." (End of Chapter)
