Chapter 124 Who set the fire


A sudden gust of wind, fleeting, but inexplicably blew the silent flag.

This is a bad omen, and during the movement of a large army, the banner is broken for no reason, often indicating a night attack by the enemy.

However, the national teacher Alu Buhua could not deduce good fortune and misfortune, and besides, the city was obviously empty, and there were no traces of the enemy within dozens of miles of Shuofang City, which stumped him.

But with empty words, Mo Si couldn't convince the 100,000 army to stay in the houses in the city, so they ran to camp in the snow outside the city.

In the end, at the insistence of Alu Buhua, Mo Si made a compromise choice, he and Alu Buhua selected 10,000 elite descendants to be stationed outside the north gate, relying on the city wall to set up camp, and by the way to take care of the war horses and accompanying cattle and sheep.

And the rest of the army all entered the city and lived in the Tang army barracks in the city.

In this way, it is not easy for Aru to oppose it if he does not spend it, because in his calculations, the elite of 10,000 horsemen is enough to defeat Qin Huaiyu's department.

Tens of thousands of Turkic armies entered the city of Shuofang, like locusts overwhelming the world, one after another, fighting for each other, and taking everything they saw that could be snatched for themselves.

The life of the Turks is very frightened, they lack everything, pots and pans must be grabbed, especially the iron pot is a good thing, find something to tie on the back and carry it, and the family will have something to cook food.

Grain has to be grabbed even more, isn't it just for a mouthful of food in this cold season, otherwise, it is better to burn horse manure, drink bad wine, and beat the mother-in-law at home, so that a fool is willing to follow the Great Khan to fight.

There is even wine, the Tang people of Teniang are rich, and such a good wine is abandoned, saying that if you throw it away, you will throw it away, and you will be cheaper for nothing.

However, whether it is food or wine, after all, there are more monks and less porridge, how can it be possible to meet the needs of nearly 100,000 Turks It became inevitable to move hands and feet, and finally escalated to a knife, and in a short time, dozens of people were knifed, most of them were bleeding from their mouths, and they couldn't live with more air and less intake.

In the end, after Mo Si ordered the commanders of the 10,000 cavalry to start suppression, some blood-red eyes and overly excited guys were given to the spot to rectify the law, and all the food and wine were confiscated, so that the riot could be barely controlled.

When there is no food and wine, Lao Tzu will grab a place to sleep, and then grab some firewood to make a fire The number of Turks entering the city was too large, nearly ten times more than the original Tang army, so that even the barracks were nervous and began to rob.

However, fortunately, the barracks will not dare to be split for a while, the big deal is to force it in, a barracks for ten people, who stipulates that we Turks do not pay attention to it, as long as there is a place to stay, it is no problem to stuff dozens of people into a barracks.

There are also rooms, as well as barracks for wounded soldiers, as well as warehouses, and stables, as long as they are houses, we don't dislike them.

All the storehouses in the storehouse were packed with people, even the one with black oil, and the Turks even pierced a bucket with a knife, and tasted it so badly that they gave up the idea of drinking it.

Still, it feels good to put these barrels together and sleep on them, at least not as iceman as they are on the ground.

Where there are Turkic people, fire should be burned, especially in the cold winter, if there is no firewood, horse dung will be burned, and if there is no fire, they will freeze to death.

There is no shortage of firewood in Shuofang City, so naturally there is no need to burn horse manure, so there is a pile here, a pile there, and the whole Shuofang City has become a world of fire.

It was night, there was no moon, there was a breeze, and the mist gradually thickened, and in the middle of the night, the fog between the sky and the earth was inseparable.

Since the arrival of the Turkic army, Zhao Wushu in the depths of the underground has been sitting with various preparations.

When the smoke cleared, he re-lit the candle, put the hourglass back on, straightened his armor, tightened his belt, and checked his gear.

He ate some cold meat, drank a few sips of water, and dried up a piece of steamed cake, as for the three pulp, it is good to take a big sip, but he doesn't dare to drink more, it is easy to make mistakes.

He took the bag of Sanle pulp into his arms, and felt that the bag of cold beef was still there, and as for the remaining beef and mutton and steamed cakes, as well as the clear water, he could only continue to rest in the hole.

Carrying some food and water in your arms is for emergencies, these are enough, and any more will affect your actions.

After the preparations were done, he double-checked that nothing was missing, and then, sitting cross-legged on the ground, staring at the hourglass and counting the time, waiting for the moment to come.

He chose the time in the second half of the night, about midnight, which is the time when people are most sleepy, and it is the most suitable for stealing, pickpocketing, murder and arson.

A candle is like a bean, and time is flowing with the sand.

The time of the son has come, the time of ugliness has come, and the time of the sun has come When the time was almost up, he removed the wooden plank that had sealed the hole, put his head into the well, took a deep breath, and looked in the direction of the well.

There was no moonlight tonight, which made him very happy, and in this way, it would be of great help to the operation, so he thanked God again and again.

He returned to the cave, intending to do a final check of his preparations, the arson operation was about to take place, and the slightest detail could cause the mission to fail.

"Bang Bang" Suddenly, there was a series of explosions, followed by a loud bang, and even he heard it very clearly in the cave, and the echo was so loud that it made people's ears ring.

The earth shook for a while, and the cave was dusty and full of smoke, so that he couldn't open his eyes, so he could only hold on to the cave wall with his hands, and his feet were firmly attached to the ground to avoid falling.

Next, something fell into the well, and I don't know what it was, mixed with a dull crashing sound, as if something had collapsed and hit the wellhead.

Zhao Wudi closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down, thinking about what was going on It's because there are still people in the city He shook his head, because this was absolutely impossible, and it was impossible for Qin Huaiyu to hide such an arrangement from him.

In Shuofang City, the fire began to burn from the warehouse area, and gradually spread in all directions, and in an instant, a large sea of fire has been formed.

What's even worse is that the wind is blowing, and the howling north wind pumps the fire high, pouring down like a waterfall of flames, and instantly sweeping a large area of the barracks.

As the fire spread, explosions rang out in the city from time to time, and with each explosion, it fueled the fire and became more frantic and terrifying.

Explosions rang out near the south gate, and a pillar of fire rose into the sky, turning the entire gate into a lava field, with flames and smoke billowing into the sky, cutting off an escape route.

"Boom" A terrible explosion sounded near the north gate, and the flames instantly blocked the gate, and a large number of black oil barrels were thrown into the camp outside the city by the shock wave, and as they exploded in the air, the sky was full of fire and rain pouring down.

Here is the purgatory of the adult:
