Chapter 423 Their firefighting, not to mention pretending, is a drop in the bucket even if it is sincere.
The fire in the granary burned from the inside out, like an erupting volcano, and it was difficult for people to get close to it, let alone pour it down When a large number of Mo soldiers arrived, they saw such a scene, corpses, flesh and blood all over the ground, Cheng Jin, Lotte and others were shouting desperately pouring water to put out the fire, and the scene was chaotic.
Seeing this, the leader Mo Jiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, he knew very well how fatal the blow to his side would be 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: "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
Hearing his shout, Cheng Jin, who was fighting the fire, glanced back, immediately put down the basin in his hand, and ran over quickly.
This Mo General is Chen Zhong, who is in charge of guarding the granary.
He only saw Cheng Jin's person, but he didn't know his name, he waved his hand angrily, and said repeatedly: "Get up, what happened here, how did the granary catch fire?"
"Back to General Chen, I also rushed over when I saw a fire on this side of the granary, and when I arrived, it was already full of the corpses of my brothers, and the fire was burning."
Chen Zhong interrupted him and asked, "You don't see who moved the hand."
"No" Cheng Jin's head shook like a rattle, and said: "General, we just arrived, and we didn't see a single living person" The Mo soldiers who were now fascinated 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 here, not only hundreds of brothers died, but the granary was also set on fire, but he didn't even see the shadow of the person who attacked it, which was also incredible.
He can also have a premonition that when coach Xu Lengzhi hears the news, he will be furious, and he may not be able to save his head.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Zhong looked left and right, and saw that many subordinates were staring at him with wide eyes, his lungs were about to explode, he raised his hand to point at everyone, and roared: "What are you all looking at me doing, go and put out the fire."
"Ahhh There was no water near the granary, so people had to get water from wells far away, but they were unprepared, and they wasted a lot of time just looking for tools to hold water.
By the time people came back with water, the fire in the granary was already bigger and more intense, and as long as they were close to ten meters, it was difficult for people to breathe anymore, and the air seemed to be ignited, and it was sucked into the lungs, making people feel like their bodies were burning.
The flames that rushed into the air burned half of the sky red, and soon, not only the soldiers of the Mo army in the entire Pufeng City discovered the fire in the granary, but even the Fengyu coalition army outside the city also saw the fire in the city, and many soldiers put on their clothes, walked out of the camp tent, and watched the excitement in the direction of Pufeng.
Now there is a great chaos in Pufeng City, people are shouting and horses are tearing, and the granary is full of soldiers and soldiers of the Mo army who rushed to fight the fire after hearing the news, but the effect of people's efforts is limited, and they can only stop the fire, but they can't suppress the fire.
Xu Lengzhi, who lived in the county capital, was also woken up by the noise outside, he wore a cloak and bare feet, walked out of the bedroom, and asked the guards at the door: "What's going on, why is it so messy outside?"
When the guards saw that the commander had come out, they pointed in the direction of the granary and said, "General, there is a fire over there, and I don't know what the situation is yet."
"It's on fire," the old man rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked in the direction of the guards' fingers.
The county capital is located in the center of Pufeng, and the granary is in the south of the city, and the two are not close to each other, but at such a distance, you can still see huge flames rising into the air.
"That's" Xu Lengzhi muttered, and suddenly, his heart was shocked, and he shivered, and exclaimed: "That's the direction of the granary."
The guards blinked and nodded one after another: "That's right, General, it's indeed the direction of the granary over there."
"Oops, that's bad," Xu Lengzhi screamed, turned around and ran into the room.
I didn't have time to get dressed, so I put on my shoes, grabbed my sword, and ran out of the room in a hurry.
"Hurry up and call the brothers to gather, and go with Ben Shuai to rescue the granary, the granary must have been attacked by the enemy" Xu Lengzhi is worthy of being an experienced commander, and he judged the seriousness of the matter at the first time.
The guards were all stunned, the enemy sneaked into the enemy and did not attack the city, how could they run into the city and attack their own granaries The guards did not dare to delay, they all responded, and went separately to convey Xu Lengzhi's order.
Without waiting for Xu Lengzhi to lead his subordinates to the granary, the person who reported the news arrived first.
A sweaty Mo soldier was led by the guards, and when he saw Xu Lengzhi, the Mo soldier knelt on one knee and said urgently: "General, the big thing is not good, the granary has been attacked by a sneak attack, more than 300 brothers of our army have been killed and wounded, and the granary has also been set on fire, and now we are trying our best to rescue it."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed greatly, and Xu Lengzhi was still calm, after all, he had guessed that something had happened in the granary just now.
He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and asked, "Will the invading enemy be captured?"
Mo Bing, who reported the news, looked embarrassed and did not dare to answer immediately.
"Say," Xu Lengzhi shouted angrily.
"Returning to the general, the enemy who attacked the granary has fled, and the officers and men of our army have not failed to capture the enemy alive," Mo Bing replied on his knees, his head bowed, and stammered.
"It's all gone" Xu Lengzhi was almost angry, he said in a condensed voice: "Our soldiers are all over the city, can the enemy still run to the sky?"
"Yes, yes, yes, but we have not been able to detect the enemy's movements, and it is not clear which direction the enemy is fleeing, but a city-wide search has been launched."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xu Lengzhi raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "I don't know which direction the enemy is running, do you mean that our army didn't even see the shadow of the enemy?"
"Yes Yes General" slapped this slap and hit Mo Bing's face firmly, with such force that Mo Bing was knocked directly to the ground.
Xu Lengzhi is not a short-tempered person, but the current situation has made him angry and difficult to control his emotions.
The city is full of its own soldiers, the granary guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are uninterrupted patrols around it, but just like that, they were still attacked by the enemy, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, even if they brought a herd of pigs, they couldn't be so stupid Xu Lengzhi's fingers trembled and pointed at Mo Bing, who reported the news, and shouted: "Let Chen Zhong raise his head to see Ben Shuai, let Jiang Song and Ding Youchun raise their heads to see Ben Shuai" Chen Zhong is responsible for guarding the granary, and Jiang Song and Ding Youchun are responsible for the security in the city.
The granary was successfully attacked by the enemy, Chen Zhong was 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 half a second, hurriedly agreed, then got up from the ground, turned around and ran out.
Xu Lengzhi pinched his waist with both hands, wandered back and forth a few times, waved his hand and said: "Let's go to the granary" At this time, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait for Chen Zhong, Jiang Song, and Ding Youchun to come to see him, and he wanted to go to the granary in person to see what the current situation was.
He led the people to the gate of the county capital, and his front foot had just stepped out of the gate, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and the foot that had stepped out was immediately retracted, and he stood on the spot, his eyes were rolling around, and his face changed uncertainly.

"General, what's wrong" I don't know why he didn't leave, and the guards on both sides asked puzzled.
"It's not good to listen to the Wind Pavilion," the old man suddenly exclaimed, and then turned around and ran back.
The escort hurriedly followed, asking, "Does the general think that the hidden warehouse has also been attacked?"
"This time the enemy is obviously prepared, the bright warehouse is attacked, and the hidden warehouse is also in danger," Xu Lengzhi said urgently as he ran.
"It's unlikely, General, there are no enemy attacks in the county capital," the general shook his head.
Xu Lengzhi didn't care about that, the old man relied on his good spiritual martial arts cultivation, threw off his legs, and his speed was not slow.
He rushed into the Tingfeng Pavilion with a group of guards and guards, and 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 he was really worried, and the enemy just sneaked into the Ming Cang, and did not dare to rush into the county capital to move the dark warehouse.
As long as the dark warehouse is still there, even if the grain in the open warehouse is burned clean, your own army can hold on to Pufeng for three months Seeing Xu Lengzhi coming with many escorts and guards, the guards intervened one after another to salute and said, "Subordinates see generals" "How is the situation here, have you found the enemy" Xu Lengzhi looked around and asked expressionlessly.
"Back to the general, everything is calm and there is nothing abnormal."
The guards replied cautiously.
"That's good" As he spoke, Xu Lengzhi turned around and said, "Leave a large group of people, be sure to guard this place, if there is an accident, this commander will want your head" "It's a general" Xu Lengzhi sent more people to protect the secret warehouse, and just as he was about to leave, a guard suddenly said: "General, although we haven't found the enemy, there is something very strange."
"En" Xu Lengzhi stopped and looked back at the guard who was talking in confusion.
"That's it," the guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's just that the ground is surprisingly hot tonight."
Xu Lengzhi raised his eyebrows suspiciously, then looked down at his feet, his heart trembled suddenly, and he immediately squatted down and pressed his palms on the ground.
No, there was not the slightest coldness on the ground, but it was still a little warm, and it was late at night, not in the daytime when the sun was shining, which was too abnormal
