The group of people marched towards the Rain Master Altar. Along the way, they encountered scouts and sentries who came forward to interrogate them. Master Sun Ren gave them both permission and soon arrived at the Rain Master Altar.
The continuous warehouses became increasingly endless in the rainy night. More than 100,000 stones of grain and fodder were stored here, and temporary warehouses woven with bamboo strips were built one after another. There is a wall surrounding the outside, and elite soldiers with helmets on them patrol every now and then, and the defense is extremely tight.
Arriving at the gate of a camp that looked like a fortress, Master Sun Ren handed over his badge and said to the gatekeeper: "According to the order of General Yuwen, we are temporarily entering for inspection and opening the door as soon as possible."
The soldier took the waist tag and checked it to confirm that it was correct. Then he looked Master Sun Ren up and down and wondered: "What's going on today? I came here to check three or four times a day, endlessly. And it's so late, and I still check it." What is it?"
Master Sun Ren was shocked.
With so much grain stored here, the senior officials of Guanlong naturally paid great attention to it. Every morning and evening they would send school lieutenants to inspect the place, not only to check if anyone had sneaked in, but also to prevent people from watching and stealing inside. But why did the number of inspections suddenly increase today?
However, his face was calm, he stepped forward to take back his waist badge, and yelled: "How dare you! Do you dare to disobey General Yuwen's order? The army will take action in the near future, so it must ensure that the food and supplies are safe. If anything goes wrong, , none of your heads can be saved!"
The soldier was startled and did not dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly let him go.
But when he saw a group of people entering the warehouse area, he stared at the backs of these people with confusion on his face...
Someone nearby, Pao Ze, stepped forward and complained: "It's raining lightly. Although I don't expect someone to set fire to it, I'm standing here but I don't dare to leave without permission. It's really a shame."
The soldier asked, "How many times has this been searched in recent days?"
Pao Ze was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "The second time, right? We should have inspected it in the evening, but due to the large quantity of a new batch of grain, it still hasn't been fully put into the warehouse, so it was delayed. Normally, the inspection should be done after the grain has been put into the warehouse and all the soldiers from the Water Transport Agency have been evacuated."
The soldier felt that something was wrong more and more, and said: "You must be careful when you lead people to guard here. I will report to the captain that something is wrong with these people who are searching."
"Oh, you go ahead, I'll guard here."
The soldier then turned around and trotted towards a government office not far away that was temporarily added to manage the security of the storage area.
*****
Cheng Wuting followed Sun Renshi inside and was in a good mood. As he walked, he said: "These guys are really a mob. The interrogation of such an important place is so lax. They can just drive in with a badge and a reason. It's incredible."
Master Sun Ren urged everyone to speed up the pace, but did not dare to take it lightly: "Although Zuo Yiwei's supervision is very lax, this place is the heart of the Guanlong army after all, and we cannot allow us to make any mistakes. Everyone must be careful and vigilant. If we encounter ordinary soldiers, Never arouse suspicion.”
The group of people walked some distance further inward and confirmed that no one was nearby. They immediately dispersed and began to place "delay fuzes" filled with white phosphorus in various warehouses.
First, find a secluded place to light the fire sticks and ignite a large bundle of incense, and then distribute it to the dead soldiers, who will take them to their assigned areas. Then tie the fuses of Zhentian Lei to the incense. The burning speed of the incense has been measured in advance. In order to achieve simultaneous detonation, the position of the fuse bundle cannot be the same every time. Otherwise, the Zhentian Lei placed first will have detonated, and the next one will explode. The placed one has not yet burned to the lead position...but even if there is a slight error, it is not a big deal.
The most difficult thing to do was because it was raining lightly, and I didn’t dare to light a torch, so I could only place the Thunderbolt in the dark. The rain could not extinguish the incense and wet the fuse, and I couldn’t ignite the Thunderbolt if I lost control, so it was very difficult. It's huge and progress is slow.
A group of more than a hundred people were like rats in a warehouse. They lined up little by little to place the Thunderbolt in the dark rainy night. Their movements were vigorous and swift. After about half a stick of incense, the Thunderbolt was placed first. The thunder was about to detonate, and it was only half placed...
Master Sun Ren was a little anxious. He remembered that the gatekeeper mentioned that he had entered the storage area for inspection three or four times in recent days. However, according to his understanding of the loose style of Zuo Yiwei, it was basically impossible to be so responsible. Most of the time, they sent People enter the storage area and walk around, and then go back to do business.
Either something serious has happened, and Zuo Yiwei's senior management is very concerned about the safety of the storage area, so they send more soldiers to check from time to time, which means that the next inspection is likely to come very soon; or the soldier noticed it. What? I was suspicious, so I lied to him.
No matter what the situation is, it means that their group may be exposed at any time.
If it's the latter, maybe a large army has gathered urgently at this moment and marched into the storage area...
He looked up at the dark rain curtain. There were countless warehouses in front of him waiting to place the thunder. He said to Cheng Wuting beside him: "There is not much time. Should we continue to place the thunder, or should we stop here and proceed to the next step as planned?"
If we wait until the thunder is detonated, it will immediately alert the surrounding princes, and the entire storage area will be under martial law. If we try to snatch the canal and sneak out as planned, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
Cheng Wuting pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Our life and death are nothing compared to burning these grains. Moreover, our coming here this time is a narrow escape. The most important thing is to complete the mission and then wait for an opportunity to escape. Damn it. If we can't burn all the food here, what's the point of escaping? Everyone continues to place the sky-shattering thunder, and when the first one starts to detonate, we will take advantage of the chaos to wait for an opportunity to escape. If we can escape, we will get rid of it. , it is naturally a blessing from heaven. You have made a great contribution, and you can rest on your merits for the rest of your life. If you are buried here, it is also our destiny. It can be regarded as being loyal to the prince and righteous to the commander, and we will die without regrets! "
All those who came on this trip were dead soldiers in the army. They usually rushed to the front during battles and were known as "first to ascend". They were the most brave and fearless of death. And everyone understands the significance of this mission. Once successful, it will completely reverse the situation of the war. Victory in the East Palace is in sight, and everyone deserves to die.
No one shouted slogans enthusiastically, but they all responded to Cheng Wuting's words with silent actions - be loyal to the prince and loyal to the commander-in-chief!
Master Sun Ren was shocked as he looked at the dead soldiers who were silently speeding up their placement without any confusion. No wonder the Youtun Guards were able to defeat many with a small number, and were victorious in repeated battles. How can such a spirit of fearlessness and fearlessness be comparable to that of the ragtag Guanlong Army?
It is a pity that Changsun Wuji has far-reaching wisdom and unparalleled plans, but he has never really led his troops to charge and fight on the battlefield. He does not understand that no matter how sophisticated the strategy is, it still needs to rely on elite soldiers to complete it. The powerful soldiers can use their combat power to turn the tables and turn defeat into victory when the commander makes a mistake. A ragtag group of soldiers can also cause a perfect strategy to be severely damaged and wasted...
We have reached the boundary of the storage area in front of us. The tall Rain Master Platform is behind us. The sparkling Cao River is in front of us, and we can faintly see the boats going back and forth on the river.
"boom!"
A dull sound suddenly sounded in the rainy night, and then a fire shot up into the sky and illuminated the dark night. Thin and falling raindrops flew messily in the fire.
"Boom boom boom"
There was a continuous muffled sound, like half of the firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and the raging fire lit up the sky all day long.
Cheng Wuting waved his hand and said loudly: "Withdraw!"
A group of dead soldiers threw all the Zhentian Lei that they had not yet had time to place in the last warehouse, and threw away the incense sticks. More than a hundred people were well-trained and gathered in one place in a few breaths. As Cheng Wuting and Sun Renshi moved towards the nearby They ran towards Caohe, and behind them were huge fireworks rising into the sky one after another, and then connected into one, lighting up half of the sky with bright red.
The sound of people shouting and horses neighing was mixed in with the dull explosion, and came faintly.
Master Sun Ren rushed at the front, while Cheng Wuting stood slightly behind. Master Sun Ren was most familiar with this area. He took the lead and reached the Cao River and jumped into the water without hesitation. More than a hundred people followed him into the water, floating and sinking along the river, searching for the water boats on the river. After finding the target, they quickly swam over, got close and boarded the boat, controlled the water transport soldiers on the boat, and either killed or tied them up. Be as silent as possible.
The earth-shattering explosion in the storage area and the fire that shot up into the sky alarmed everyone, so for a moment no one noticed that there were more than a hundred heads drifting, floating and sinking on the dark river...
