The military material reserve area of Qingshui City is in the southeast corner of the city, more than twenty miles away from the inn where Xu Sancai is located. [26nbsp;] Although the elemental bird looks very much like an ordinary parrot, it is a real level 3 monster, and it is the top of the monsters of the same level. It flew to less than ten minutes from a distance of more than twenty miles. From a high altitude, you can see the huge warehouses in the material area below.
The military material area covers an area of nearly three miles. Since it is necessary to provide the materials needed to attack the 40,000 troops in Qingtiang City, the original warehouse is far from enough, and more than 20 huge temporary warehouses were temporarily built. There are 2,000 soldiers guarding the material area, and within a hundred meters of the material area, it is listed as the military control scope, and no one can get close to it.
Of course, the army had no choice but to use birds. The soldiers guarding the material area set traps with food and could catch hundreds of various birds every day, which became a delicacy for improving life. However, there were still hundreds of birds in the material area. The temptation of the grain warehouse attracted all the birds from dozens of miles around.
The elemental bird flew to the material area without any attention. It fell to the roof of a warehouse, spewing out flames to melt the roof easily, and ignited the food stored inside. Xu Sancai asked the elemental bird to burn the food and grass, and even ordinary birds could accurately determine which warehouse was storing food, which was naturally not a problem for the elemental bird.
Xu Sancai originally planned to burn all the supplies, but after successfully assassinating all the generals of Qingshui City, he immediately adjusted his plan and only burned the food and grass. Other military supplies were calculated as his spoils in his calculations. Forty thousand troops without a commander, he now regarded Qingshui City as his baggage.
Elemental Birds are very efficient. There are more than 20 huge grain storage stocks and temporary grain and grass warehouses in the material area. They are ignited by Elemental Birds in just over a dozen minutes. Grain and grass are one of the best fuels. In a blink of an eye, the sky southeast of Qingshui City was reddished by a raging fire, and the smoke soared into the sky rose, and the material area was suddenly in chaos.
The food and grass burned very quickly, and the magic flame temperature of the elemental bird was much higher than that of the ordinary flame. The fire was unstoppable from the beginning. Although the guards were quickly organized to extinguish the fire, they were unable to stop the spread of the fire. The adjutant in the material area could only try his best to prevent the flame from spreading to other warehouses.
The troops in the city were immediately alarmed by the fire in the material area. Two adjutants in charge of the city defense force immediately dispatched 3,000 troops to the material area for assistance. The officers in charge of the material area were organized to prevent the fire from spreading, while organizing soldiers to surround the material area and began to search for the suspects who set fire.
At this time, the real culprit: the Elemental Bird had already flew back to Xu Sancai's room, standing proudly on his shoulder, communicating with him with spiritual help as if he was seeking credit. However, the Elemental Bird could only master simple words, and the message he conveyed to him was an image of a raging fire in the material area.
Xu Sancai stroked the beautiful feathers of the Elemental Bird with satisfaction. Then, he put away the Elemental Bird, and he used the night to drill out of the guest room window. The soldiers guarding the inn were all attracted by the fire in the southeast, and he quickly followed the roof behind the inn toward the city wall.
The city defense troops guarded the city wall at night, but one city wall was nearly thirty miles, and those soldiers were not enough. Xu Sancai climbed up a remote city wall with the cover of the night. The city wall was two meters high, but he was more than one meters high at a time. He stabbed the city wall with his sword and used his strength to easily climb the city wall. He slipped down from the other side of the city wall without knowing it, and rushed back to Qingtieng City overnight.
Xu Sancai returned to Qingtiecheng and immediately issued several orders in a row: to lead the 3,000 agricultural reclamation army to advance towards Qingshui City with great fanfare. However, he did not let Zhang Meng attack, but asked Zhang Meng to make a strong aura, try to pull the troops away, carry more flags and war drums, and set up camp ten miles away from Qingshui City, with the purpose of only being suspicious soldiers to restrain Qingshui City's enemy troops.
Wang Hu was ordered to lead 5,000 standing army to station in Xiaoyue City to prevent An Jiguo from taking advantage of the situation and launching an attack on Xiaoyue City; Wang Youcai was responsible for collecting the military dispatch information of An Jiguo and Beiwu State in a timely manner, and if there is any abnormal movement in the two countries, he and Zhang Dali led the elite troops and two thousand cavalry to leave to Qingshui City first.
When they arrived twenty or thirty miles away from Qingshui City, they were divided into two groups. Xu Sancai asked the 1,22 cavalry to divide into four teams, and ambushed more than ten miles outside the four gates of Qingshui City, and sent scouts to monitor them. If a small-scale enemy troops left the city and went to the countryside to plunder food, they would be defeated after the enemy robbed them. The enemy must not be allowed to transport the food back to Qingshui City.
Xu Sancai and Zhang Dali led the remaining troops directly to Qingshui City to the capital of Wuhu: the main road of Wuhu City, and ambushed in a forest more than 30 miles away from Qingshui City, and sent two teams of scouts to monitor the movements of Wuhu City.
In the afternoon of the same day, the scout returned to report that two teams of cavalry and more than 200 transport convoys filled with food and grass were departing from Wuhu City to Qingshui City. Of course, Xu Sancai had expected all this. The garrison of Qingshui City had killed the general and burned the food and grass quickly reported the capital. The 40,000 troops could not be without generals, nor without food and grass. Therefore, after discussing with the military, the king of Wuhu State urgently recruited the capital's reserve grain and five generals to Qingshui City.
However, most of the domestic troops were dispatched to Qingshui City, and more than 10,000 people were guarding another border city: Bishui City. In the capital city, there were only more than 3,000 guards and the city guards. Of course, the capital city could not be guarded without an army, and it was not realistic to recruit troops from Bishui City. Therefore, the military only sent five generals to lead 200 personal soldiers and transport teams to Qingshui City.
It is not a big mistake for Wuhu's troops. Wuhu and the Great Qin Kingdom did not officially fight. Moreover, the Great Qin Kingdom obviously has limited troops, and the road from Wuhu City to Qingshui City belongs to Wuhu Country. Wuhu Country is preparing food and grass and organizing transportation teams. It is already in a state of exhaustion. There is no time to consider more.
Dongfang Wuhui naturally guessed this result a long time ago. The information on the distribution of troops in Wuhu State collected by Wang Youcai was very detailed. He knew that there were only 3,000 troops in Wuhu City, so it was impossible for all troops to be sent. The situation was urgent and the enemy could not consider it. Therefore, he only brought less than 1,000 cavalry into the territory of Wuhu State to ambush.
