Qiu Chan was near the granary at the moment, and she also looked anxious.

"What's going on? Why is it on fire? Didn't I just come to see it?"

"Yes, it was fine when you came just now, but then it suddenly caught fire, right! There is also one less guard."

"Missing a guard?"

"yes."

"Hurry up and tell Guitian and the others to send people to put out the fire as well."

The fire was very powerful, and the red flames shot straight into the sky, and could be seen from far away in Xissoari.

Without even getting close, you could tell just by looking at the intensity of the fire that the granary was in trouble.

The reason why Sissoari is confident is because there is a lot of grain stored in Lijiang City. As long as the grain is there, he will not be afraid of how long the fight lasts.

But if the food is gone, it will be over without hunting.

The reason why Chi Zhongtian understands this is because when he was in Xiping City, he led his people to sneak attack on the grain and grass of Daxia Kingdom. His time can be said to have determined the entire subsequent war situation.

Soon, Lijiang City became lively.

Sissoari mobilized thousands of soldiers to put out the fire, but Guitian remained motionless, acting as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, Sissoari arrived.

"Leader! This subordinate deserves to die!" Qiu Chan pushed her wheelchair and rushed towards him.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know yet. My subordinates just came here for inspection and found nothing wrong. But just after I left, I didn't even have to burn a stick of incense before it caught fire!"

"Put out the fire first and talk about it later!"

"yes!"

There is strength in numbers, and so many people put out the fire together. Two hours later, at dawn, the fire was finally put out.

In fact, the fire was all set in the granary, and all that was burned was the grain.

After sorting things out, Sissoari almost jumped up and cursed. This fire burned at least two-thirds of the food and grass.

"What's going on! Why is there so much food and grass in the middle room?"

After the fire was put out, Sisoari began interrogating Qiu Chan and the guards of the granary at the county government office.

"Returning to the leader, some guards came to report that there were rats in the granary. The subordinates were afraid of an accident, so they asked them to temporarily store the grain in another granary."

"What else was found?"

"Master, my subordinates also found a man who was a guard of the granary. He was already dead. However, a pipe was found next to him. Therefore, my subordinates suspected that it was when he secretly smoked a pipe near the granary.

The grain and grass are on fire."

When Sissoari heard this, he immediately asked: "Pipe? How can he have that thing?"

"This subordinate doesn't know."

The idea of ​​changing the granary was proposed by the leader of the granary guard. Qiu Chan took it upon himself. Even if he saved his life, he had to repay him.

"Master, the Rong Yao leader is right. That person said he went to pee, but he didn't come back for a long time. He must have secretly gone to smoke."

"The pipe is just a small thing. Even if it explodes with a few sparks, it won't cause such a huge fire, right?" Sissoari asked doubtfully.

"Leader, this subordinate is unclear."

"The burning of food and grass is a serious crime. Rong Yao, I will punish you with ten strokes of the cane!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"Pull them all down and give them thirty punishments."

"yes!"

Ten strokes with the cane won't be a big deal for someone like Qiu Chan. Thirty strokes with the cane, if you're not in good health, may leave your skin and flesh bruised.

However, this is not going to kill him after all. It is better to still be alive than to lose his head directly.

At this time, Chi Zhongtian came to the place where the artillery was stored.

He originally thought that everyone here would help put out the fire, but what he didn't expect was that there was no movement from them.

At the same time, Hong Daliu also led his soldiers to the vicinity of Lijiang City. According to his agreement with Chi Zhongtian, he planned to attack the city again.

This time, Hong Dali's purpose was very simple, so he acted very quickly. After hundreds of archers arrived near the city gate, they opened their bows and shot arrows upwards. Then Hong Dali had people take the opportunity to lift the heightened ladder.

Run towards the tower.

"Leader! Oh no, the enemy has begun to attack the city."

"Don't panic, come with me!"

Sissoari and his men immediately rushed to the city gate.

...

Seeing that the next day has arrived, the artillery still has no idea how to destroy it.

Just when Chi Zhongtian was at a loss what to do, suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

No matter how powerful the artillery is, it still depends on the shells.

If even the shells are gone, the artillery is just scrap metal.

After thinking of this idea, Chi Zhongtian was very excited.

But then the question arises, where are the cannonballs? How to find them?

According to common sense, artillery should be placed together with artillery shells.

But now Chi Zhongtian can't go and look for it.

Because the artillery was surrounded by people, it was impossible to investigate it quietly.

After Qiu Chan was punished with the cane, she returned to the back garden. She and Chi Zhongtian made an appointment to meet here.

The first time she went there, she didn't find Chi Zhongtian. When she went to look again half an hour later, Chi Zhongtian had already left a mark.

"Master!"

"How's it going? How much food and grass have been burned?"

"Almost two-thirds. This is really damaging to our vitality."

"Where's Sissoari?"

"There's someone attacking the city outside, Sisoari went to deal with it."

"Well, let me ask you now, where are the shells of those artillery pieces? Do you know?"

"Cannonball?"

"right!"

"Cannonballs and artillery are stored together. There is a room in the yard dedicated to storing cannonballs."

"Then do you know how many shells they have in total?"

"There used to be hundreds of them, but now that they have been distributed everywhere, there should be less than a hundred left in Lijiang City. There should be sixty or seventy left there."

"Okay, that's it. I can't destroy the cannon, I can only destroy the cannonball."

"Sir, what can you do?"

"Fight it."

"How to spell it?"

"You send me nearby, I will go directly through the roof, and then set fire. Those cannonballs will explode when they encounter fire."

"Son, please stop joking. That room is full of cannonballs. If you set them on fire, you won't be able to escape!"

"It's okay. Nothing will happen to me. Don't worry. Just prepare some fire folds and some tissue paper for me."

"Sir! This is not a joke. I know that your martial arts skills are world-class, but no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still made of flesh and blood. You don't know the power of those cannonballs. Let alone dozens of them, just one explodes next to you. You
