The Golden Age Chapter 679: The flames soaring to the sky

When the bright moon was in the sky, Qin Xiaokean sat on the head of the city, looking at the bright moon in the sky, thoughtfully.

The defenders at the head of the city are always on high alert.

Just got the news, suddenly a large number of rebels gathered from the south of the city, and the troops are still gathering outside the city of Shuning.

Qin Xiao knew that the war was about to start.

Furthermore, once the rebels attack the city, they must attack from two directions at the same time.

The officers and soldiers who guard the city know this well.

Qin Xiao guarded the north gate, while Gong Kui went to the south gate to sit.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qin Xiao looked up, only to see that She Yue had come to her side, so she wanted to get up, She Yue shook her head, hesitated, and said softly: "Dong Guangxiao has killed him in the temple. The relatives were cremated, and many people in the city went to worship."

Qin Xiao said softly and asked: "How is Master Dong now?"

She Yue sighed slightly, did not speak, hesitated, and sat down beside Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao was a little surprised. He knew that the princess was a bit clean. Sit down on the dusty ground.

"Aren't you afraid of getting dirty?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile.

Mosk Moon gave Qin Xiao a glance, raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, and said quietly: "Thank you for your timely action today, you saved a lot of people."

"For Master Dong, even if only one of his relatives was mutilated, the pain in his heart would be difficult to eliminate in this life." Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "I can understand his state of mind. It was the rebels who did evil, but Dong Adults will blame themselves, he will feel that everything is because of him, so many relatives will be killed."

Shu Yue sighed: "It's because of me. Qin... Qin Xiao, if I don't come to Shuning City, will there be such a result?"

"If the rebels are determined to take down Shuning City, they will use such a despicable method sooner or later." Qin Xiao softly persuaded.

He knew very well in his heart that if Musk Moon was still in the magnificent deep palace, not close to the fireworks on earth, then no matter how many people died, it would be just a number for the princess.

But this time she saw innocent people being killed by the rebels with her own eyes, and she was naturally touched.

Mosk Moon looked rather sad, Qin Xiao whispered: "Princess, the eyes of the officers and soldiers in the city are now looking at you. At this time, you cannot be a woman, but become a commander. No matter what happens. You have to be more determined and colder than anyone else’s frustration.” Seeing She Yue looked at herself, she said with a serious face: “Why Master Dong would rather sacrifice his relatives and protect the princess, do you understand?”

She Yue frowned and said: "Why?"

"It's not just because of your identity." Qin Xiaodao: "You are a princess, a princess of Datang. In the eyes of Mrs. Dong and us, you are aloof and hold great power, but the greater the power of a human being, The higher the status, the greater the responsibility. Master Dong has protected you because he believes that you can make more people live a good life in the world. He sacrificed his relatives, not just for you, but for more Common people."

She Yue shook her body and stared at Qin Xiao.

At this moment, someone heard loudly: "Look, what's over there?"

Qin Xiao's expression was stunned, and he stood up, thinking that it was an attack by the rebels. He rushed to the side of the battlements and looked north, only to see the red light in the sky.

"What's the matter?" Musk immediately followed.

"It seems to be... a big fire!" Qin Xiao was a little surprised, and raised his finger to the north: "Look, princess, the sky over there has been reflected red, and it can only be the fire over there. "

"The fire?" Musk Moon was also surprised: "Yes, the red light is all over the sky, it is indeed caused by the fire. There should be a rebel camp over there, why is there such a fire?"

The soldiers at the head of the city were all looking over there, all surprised.

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "If it is a campfire, it would not be possible to burn like this." Loudly: "Everyone is on guard." He pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, wondering in his heart.

The rebel camp is indeed ablaze right now.

When the right **** wearing an iron mask rushed out of his camp, he saw the fire blazing from the northwest, the pupils under the mask contracted, and he rode on a flying horse and crawled on the back of the horse. When he came down, his voice was panicked: "Report...to the **** general, the grain and grass caught fire!"

The soldiers and horses of the rebels are gathering more and more, and they have to eat every day, and the grain depot is located to the northwest of the camp.

Before Kui Mulang was arrested, people had already built a special grain store, surrounded by wooden fences. All the grain raided from all over Suzhou was piled on the grain store side. This place is extremely important. Kui Mulang specially arranged a team of red belts to guard the granary.

There are one hundred and fifty men in a team, and all of them are red belts that are very loyal to the Queen Mother's Association. The more than one hundred people are divided into two groups, taking turns guarding the granary day and night, and the guards are extremely strict.

After the God of Right arrived, he sent another fifty guards.

So the number of guards on the granary side has reached two hundred people. The two hundred people have no other missions and are only responsible for guarding the granary.

These food not only supply the rebels in the north of the city, but also the rebels in the southern city will come here every day to get food. Now the combined force of the two groups outside the city has exceeded four thousand, and there are also various groups of people. Assemble here, everyone must rely on this food and grass to eat.

In the granary, there is not only the grain that the Queen Mother’s disciples searched, but also many of the grain and grass that the Queen Mother will prepare in advance, piled up like a mountain, so the Queen Mother will have enough grain and grass and is not in a hurry to attack the city.

Now the fire in the granary is almost a fatal blow to the rebels outside the city.

The right **** general has a cruel temperament, and the courage of tigers and wolves. At this moment, he was shocked when he saw the fire from the grain and grass rushing to the field, and said angrily: "Fight the fire, send someone to fight the fire!"

"Someone has been sent to put out the fire." The cavalry said in panic, "But the grain and grass are stacked together. The granary is some distance from the lake. With the wind, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, but it is still...!" , The right god, who was so embarrassed and angry, kicked over, kicked the man to the ground, rushed over to the cavalry horse, and rushed the horse towards the granary.

The rebels' food and grass are raging at this time.

The red belts guarding the granary are all gone. Everyone knows that the granary has sent two hundred guards. It can be said to be extremely cautious, but under the eyes of so many people, the granary has been burned. Now, if the food is gone, with the bloodthirsty character of the **** of the right, I am afraid that none of the people guarding the granary will survive.

The granary was in chaos. Some people shouted for fire fighting. Some people looked for utensils to fetch water from the lake to fight fires. Moreover, the granary was not only stacked with large quantities of food, but also many livestock and poultry. Together with the fire, cattle and sheep ransacked, chickens and dogs were flying. Jumping, many livestock chickens and ducks were splashed on by sparks, their bodies caught fire, and they ran around, causing more sources of fire.

When the right **** came to the granary, he watched the fire grow bigger and bigger, the skyrocketing fire shining on his cold iron mask, glowing with magical light

.

The granary is a heavy place. Except for the guards and those who come to fetch food on time every day, no one else is allowed to take a step, otherwise they will be killed without mercy. Because of this, the fire is raging here. Although the rebel teams found that the fire was The Granary, didn't get the order, but didn't dare to come near.

Although it was not someone who took water to put out the fire, the fire was too sudden, and the fire was too big, and the water used to fight the fire was in vain. First, it could not be extinguished.

With the sound of horseshoes, someone shouted: "Report!"

The right **** general turned his head to look over, the cavalry stood up and dismounted, and said loudly: "Report to the **** general that someone has robbed the horse and is fleeing towards the city."

"It's the one who set fire!" Right God will clenched his fists: "Catch them, kill them!"

"They are very fast, they have already sent people to chase while they are running away." The cavalry said: "But they have run far."

"How many people?"

"Four or five people." The cavalry said: "Pretending to be us, at first they fled and left, and everyone they saw thought they were their own people, but they fled directly towards the city, and someone immediately reported it, subordinates. I feel suspicious, so report it immediately."

The right **** will gritted his teeth: "It was the city who sent people out to burn the grain, and immediately pursued it."

You God will definitely send someone from Shuning City to pretend to be a believer in the Queen Mother to burn food, but Qin Xiao knows that this has nothing to do with the officers and soldiers in Shuning City.

Burning the grain depots and cutting off the supply of food and grass for the rebels is of course a very clever trick, but it is not easy to implement.

Not only need to figure out the specific location of the granary, but also to get into the granary without being spotted under heavy guarding. When the fire is on, if you just throw a few torches and be spotted before the fire ignites, Can be extinguished quickly.

So to burn the granary, it must be carefully prepared.

However, the officers and soldiers in the city defended the city, and the two gates were stared at by the rebels. It was not easy to send people out of the city without being found.

Everyone on the top of the city saw the soaring flames, and the northern sky was reflected in red, like the rising sun.

"The sound of horseshoes!" Qin Xiao's expression tightened. Under the moonlight, he saw Shuqi galloping from the north, and the archers at the head of the city were immediately ready, bending their bows and shooting arrows, Qin Xiao's fourth-rank realm, his eyesight was naturally not Ordinary people can be compared. With the moonlight, they can see clearly that there are five horses galloping forward, but no rebels are following behind.

All five of them are good at equestrianism, and Qin Xiao instructed the archers: "Don't act rashly."

Suddenly heard a slightly shrill voice from below the city: "Qin Shaoqing is in the city? I'm Chen Xi, Ziyi Supervisor Chen Xi!"

Qin Xiao heard the voice, it was Chen Xi, the Young Supervisor of the Purple Clothes Supervisor, and was astonished and overjoyed: "Princess, it is Shao Supervisor Chen!" He commanded humanity: "Open the city gate quickly!"

She Yue heard Qin Xiao say that it was Chen Xi, and she was also overjoyed besides the accident.

The rebels failed to catch up in time, and Chen Xi did not pursue them for a few miles behind. At this time, the gate was opened and there was enough time to close the gate again.

Qin Xiao gave an order, and naturally no one disobeyed. The gate opened, and the five horses rushed into the city like the wind. The soldiers guarding the gate and Chen Xi and others entered the city and closed the gate immediately.

Qin Xiao was excited, but at this moment he knew that the fire on the rebel camp must be related to Chen Xi.
