Chapter 150 The strange bird pissed in the big tent? Explosive!
Being able to serve as sentinels on duty at night, Lao Liu and his companions will naturally not suffer from night blindness, and even have outstanding night vision abilities.
For example, Lao Liu is known as a "night owl".
But it is cloudy tonight, and only a little of the light from the stars and moon shines through the gaps in the clouds.
Therefore, even though Lao Liu had good night vision, he could only see a blurry shadow passing through the night sky.
He was still startled and whispered: "What a big bird, I'm afraid it's bigger than a sheep."
My companion also saw it and said: "One, two, three... there are four big birds. How many meals can you eat if you kill such a big bird?"
As he said this, the secret whistle couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
They were considered the elite of the Great Western Army, but it took them several days to get a meal of meat, and they were very greedy for meat.
When Old Liu heard this, he slapped his companion on the top of his head and said with a smile: "What are you dreaming about? Such a big bird might be able to take us both away and even shoot it down to eat. It's a wonderful thought."
The companion didn't pay attention, still drooling while looking at the direction of the four big birds heading north...
Although the light drone loaded with ten pounds of alcohol flies relatively slowly, it can cover a distance of several miles in only a few minutes.
While using a micro-drone for reconnaissance during the day, Red Lady had determined the location of Zhang Xianzhong's tent, recorded the navigation route, and imported it into the navigation system of the light drone.
Therefore, even though the night was dark and the four drones did not turn on the auxiliary lights in order to avoid being discovered too early, they still accurately flew over Zhang Xianzhong's tent.
Naturally, it was more than 300 meters in the air at the beginning.
But this is not the optimal working height.
Therefore, the red lady took the lead in controlling the drone to descend.
The assistant pilot next to her was holding a tablet computer and nervously reporting data.
"Height three hundred meters."
"Height two hundred and sixty meters."
"Height two hundred meters!"
···
Inside Zhang Xianzhong’s camp.
Although it was already the end of the Chou period, not everyone was asleep. There were still soldiers on duty at night, patrolling or standing guard.
This is true even in the old camp, which is the most central and safest place in the camp.
It is quiet at night, and even the soldiers on night duty are not allowed to make any noise. Under normal circumstances, they patrol and stand guard separately, and are not allowed to talk.
Therefore, when four light drones flew over the old camp, the officers and soldiers of the Onishi Army who were on duty at night almost heard the sound of the propellers.
"Captain, there seems to be a strange whining sound in the sky."
"What are you talking about, kid? I'm not deaf."
"Captain, what is this sound? It doesn't sound like wind."
"This jet is so dark, I know what it is? Maybe it's a strange gust of wind."
The patrol team near Zhang Xianzhong's tent stopped unconsciously when they heard the sound, looked at the night sky and started talking quietly.
The guards standing guard outside the tent raised their heads one by one, frowning and looking above their heads.
Unlike those patrols, these guards standing guard for Zhang Xianzhong are elite and more vigilant.
Moreover, the strange whining sound was right above their heads, making it difficult not to pay attention.
"Commander, what's the strange noise up here?"
After listening for a while, the whining sound above not only did not disappear, but became louder and louder. Some guards could not help but ask the commander above in a low voice.
Commander Gu Ze raised his head and his hand had already touched the bow and arrow hanging on his back - as one of Zhang Xianzhong's guard commanders, Gu Ze was not only very skilled, but also very loyal.
Therefore, although he was also surprised and even vaguely afraid of the strange noise, he made up his mind: as long as something threatening the king appeared, no matter what it was, he would shoot it.
As the whining became louder and louder, three black figures soon appeared in the sight of Gu Ze and others.
There was a tall brazier in the camp and fixed torches for lighting. Therefore, by the light of the fire, Gu Ze and others could vaguely see what seemed to be three big birds flying more than a hundred meters above.
A guard with excellent night vision took a few glances and couldn't help shouting: "Commander, what a strange big bird, it seems to have four wings!"
"Four wings?" Gu Ze couldn't see clearly, and was even more surprised when he heard this.
"Do you want to report it to the king?" Another guard asked in a low voice.
Gu Ze hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first - if we disturb the king's rest just because of a few strange birds, I'm afraid we will all be punished."
The guards thought of Zhang Xianzhong's sometimes inexplicable irritability and cruel methods of punishing people, and they immediately stopped thinking about reporting Zhang Xianzhong immediately.
At the same time, they all relaxed - after all, they are just a few birds, not humans.
Gu Ze then bent his bow and set up an arrow, preparing to scare away these three strange birds - these three birds were more than a hundred meters above the ground and could not be shot with a bow and arrow. Birds are generally timid, so it would be best to scare them away.
No problem.
However, before Gu Ze could shoot an arrow, something strange happened.
"Commander, these three strange birds seem to be peeing!"
"Is there something wrong with these strange birds? Why are they peeing on the king's tent?"
While discussing, a guard with a sharp nose soon asked strangely: "Why do I smell the aroma of wine?"
"I smell it too."
"Hey, are these strange birds peeing on bars instead of peeing?" An imaginative guard couldn't help but chuckle.
Because they were facing "birds" rather than people, these guards obviously relaxed their vigilance.
Gu Ze also smelled the aroma of wine and vaguely felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't think of anything specific.
At this time, a guard who was usually a heavy drinker laughed and said, "You'll know if it's wine or not after you give it a try."
After saying that, the guard walked to the edge of the big tent.
Zhang Xianzhong's tent is quite large, but it still has a pointed structure as a whole, which can effectively prevent rainwater from accumulating and crushing it.
The guard saw the three big birds peeing non-stop, with crystal liquid dripping from the lower corners of the tent roof, so he couldn't help but raise his head and open his mouth.
"Hiss," the guard couldn't help but make a strange inhaling sound after receiving a few drops of wine, and said with bright eyes: "It's damn wine, and it's very strong, even stronger than the Shao Knife I drank."
Hearing this, the other guards couldn't bear it anymore and all gathered near the big tent to find a place to receive the wine.
Some take it directly with the mouth, while others use a water bag.
Although it is forbidden to drink alcohol during night watch in the army, this wine is rewarded by God, or it is bird urine. Even if Zhang Xianzhong knew about it, he would only find it strange and would not punish them.
In order to find a better spot to receive the wine, some guards subconsciously picked up fixed torches to provide lighting.
Gu Ze didn't move or speak, but was thinking about what was wrong.
When he saw the guard approaching the tent with a torch, he finally thought of something - strong alcohol. Ordinary people have no experience and don't know about it, but Gu Ze heard that burning a knife to a certain extent can help fuel the fire!
So he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful with the torch!"
Unfortunately it's too late.
The guard didn't stupidly touch the liquor dripping from the tent ceiling with a torch, but the thing that dropped from the tent ceiling was not just liquor, but alcohol with a concentration of over 90°!
Although the alcohol was not sprayed a hundred meters in the air, it was poured down like thin lines.
Although it was only for a while, a lot of ethanol gas had already volatilized.
When these ethanol gases hit the torch, they explode instantly.
boom!
Because it burned so quickly, there was an explosion in the tent in an instant!
The large tent roof, which had been soaked in more than 20 kilograms of alcohol, burned with every breath, and the flames quickly spread to the bottom!
The guards who went to pick up the drinks were too close, so many of their faces were burned by the flames when the air explosion occurred.
The one who took the torch was knocked down by the blast wave!
The guards were injured, and many of them fell towards the tent... Although Zhang Xianzhong's tent was stronger than ordinary tents, it could not withstand such tossing and was likely to collapse soon.
"Quickly put out the fire!" Gu Ze shouted anxiously in panic, "Save the king!"
As he said that, he took a long spear, slashed through the curtain of the tent that had started to burn, and rushed in regardless of the fire quickly growing in size.
This is not only because he is loyal to Zhang Xianzhong, but also because he knows that if Zhang Xianzhong is really burned to death, he will never survive as the commander of the night guard tonight.
Many guards understood this truth, and Zhang Xianzhong was always very kind to them. When they came to their senses, many of them risked their lives and rushed into the burning tent.
The shouts and screams of the guards and patrols instantly made the originally quiet Zhang Xianzhong old camp a bustle.
Many elite veterans who had rested rushed out of their tents when they heard the noise and looked toward the fire.
