After opening the package, Jia Huan ordered them to use the materials inside the package to fold the Kongming Lantern as they had been trained in advance.
After all the procedures were ready, Jia Huan did not take action immediately, but ordered everyone to rest for half an hour.
For Jia Huan, burning down Daijin's granary was not a difficult task.
Of course, it’s up to people to plan things, and it’s up to God to make things happen.
Whether or not you want to be burned is up to me, whether you want to be burned or not is up to him.
Regardless of whether they can burn down the granary, they must retreat immediately after the operation.
The biggest danger on their trip was not the process of burning the granary, but their escape after burning it.
Half an hour later, everyone was almost rested.
Jia Huan ordered all the soldiers to make fire breaks and light the Kongming lanterns in their hands.
There were three to four hundred people in the team, and each person had at least ten Kongming lanterns folded in their hands.
Suddenly, three to four thousand Kongming lanterns slowly rose into the sky and floated forward in the direction of the wind.
That's right, Jia Huan's plan to burn down the granary was not to directly attack or sneak up to the Jin Kingdom granary and set fire to it.
If you use this method, don't say that there are only three or four hundred of them.
Even if it were a hundred times more, it might not be possible to implement this plan with 30,000 or 40,000 people.
Apart from anything else, it is almost impossible for 30,000 to 40,000 of you to hide from the eyes and ears of the Jin Army and sneak here.
The method Jia Huan adopted was to use sky lanterns to work at long distances and high altitudes.
Of course, it is not easy to do this.
There are many difficulties to overcome.
The most important point is that if you want to achieve your wish, you must first ensure that after the sky lantern takes off, it will burn just above the granary and fall on the granary.
Only in this way can we ensure the smooth burning of the Jinguo granary.
To achieve this, there are extremely strict requirements on wind speed, the weight of the candles in the Kongming Lantern, the height at which the Kongming Lantern flies, and the flight distance.
And the most critical point is that the Jinguo granary is not protected at all from the outside?
How can we ensure that a lit paper lantern can burn down a granary if it falls on it?
What if the outside of the granary is covered with a layer of leather or something else?
Therefore, Jia Huan still put some materials under the candle of the Kongming Lantern.
In the past two days, the leader of the Mo family led the children of the Mo family to determine the best amount of materials and the best place to put the lamp after constant trials and experiments.
Of course, even if all the details are taken into account, whether it can be accomplished in the end depends on whether God will fulfill it.
Man proposes, God disposes!
For example, the wind speed has not changed much at night in recent days.
But if there is a sudden strong wind or there is no wind, then this plan will definitely not succeed.
Fortunately, when the sky lanterns were first released, Jia Huan also roughly tested the wind speed and felt that there was no change.
As soon as the Kongming Lantern took off, Jia Huan immediately led his people to evacuate quickly.
The direction of evacuation was exactly the direction of Yanshan, a hundred miles away.
The current situation no longer allows them to continue returning the same way they came.
The launch of so many Kongming lanterns will inevitably alarm the Jin army. Returning back the same way is to fall into a trap.
At this moment, the Jin army was already alarmed.
"Look! What's over there?"
"Lots of lanterns!"
"Where did these lanterns come from?"
"No, there are Xia troops lurking and trying to burn down the granary. Send people quickly to kill them!"
Soon the Jin army was alerted, and the surrounding Jin army quickly gathered and chased Jia Huan in the direction where he lit the lantern.
But for a while, Jia Huan was not afraid that they would really come after him.
They were in vain, and they were not cavalry. Although there were three to four hundred people, they did not make much movement.
In a short period of time, the Jin army could not find the actual direction of their escape.
Of course, the only time left for them was midnight.
Once daylight comes, they may have nowhere to hide and will soon be discovered by the Jin army.
Now it depends on how far they can run in the middle of the night.
If he could run eighty or ninety miles, he might be able to escape into Yanshan.
If they can't, they will face the end of almost no life.
Let's say that after the Jin army was in a commotion, various ministries were mobilizing their troops and began to look around for the Daxia soldiers who were attacking at night.
But at this moment, something happened that horrified them.
The lanterns that had risen into the sky began to slowly descend.
In mid-air, a lantern burned, and a puff of fireball fell down.
And below is where their granary is.
This made all the Jin Army stunned!
"No! No! Those lanterns are headed for the granary!"
"Quick! Quick, shoot down those lanterns! Don't let them fall!"
However, by the time they really woke up, it was already too late.
It takes some time to find a bow and start shooting.
Furthermore, in the pitch-black night, accuracy is greatly compromised.
And many of those lanterns are dripping with fireballs. How to shoot them?
Although there were some lanterns, they were shot by them before they burned.
But after all, they are a very small number.
Eventually, there were still hundreds of lanterns, which finally fell onto the granary.
Soon the granary was ablaze.
At this time, hundreds of people who were fleeing, including Jia Huan, saw this scene, and everyone was so excited that they almost wanted to shout.
They had no choice but to be sent to carry out the military order to burn down the Jinguo granary. Originally, they had been mentally prepared to die for the country.
They never expected to succeed.
But what they never expected was that Jia Sanye and them actually succeeded!
Although they were still in danger and did not dare to cheer loudly, they still couldn't help but celebrate quietly.
At this time, Jia Huan ordered in a low voice: "Send the order, everyone should shut up and concentrate on running away! The Jinguo granary has been burned down. Once daybreak, they find out that it was us who burned the granary. We will think about it ourselves."
After the order was given, everyone suddenly woke up.
Yes, they are still in danger now, far from the time to celebrate.
If they were caught by the Jin army after dawn, even cramps and skin peeling would not be able to relieve their hatred.
Next, these people, led by Jia Huan, began to flee quickly.
emmm
Speaking of which, running a hundred miles in the middle of the night is not impossible.
For example, in later generations, a marathon race was more than 80 miles long, and the world record was more than two hours.
And now they have almost four hours to escape.
Although it is impossible for them to run faster than the world record, under the pressure of life and death, they may not be unable to run to Yanshan.
At this time, many people in the capital were sleepless.
And a fire in the Jinguo granary outside the city shocked many people in the capital. (End of chapter)
