Ma Xiaoquan hummed a little tune and wandered towards the toilet.
Although his body was still hurting, he could at least bear it. After taking a few breaths, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Although it is May, the weather is quite cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large enough."
In my mind, Yuan Chuanyuan said: "You were too thrilling during the day. I thought you just went crazy."
Ma Xiaoquan responded angrily: "If I had known that Orange Sky Kuanghuo was so manic, there would be no need for me to say anything. But to be honest, although Orange Sky Kuanghuo is not as domineering as Honglian Bahuo, its momentum is mine.
Currently, I can control the most powerful flame, the one that gives people the strongest sense of oppression."
"Of course it is. Otherwise, it can only be used once a month."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I can't go to the city defense battle tonight. Now I feel pain all over my body when I walk. Oops, this Orange Sky Crazy Fire really hurt the enemy by 3,000 and hurt myself by 800."
Ma Xiaoquan was communicating with Yuan while unbuttoning his belt. When he was about to reach the toilet, he suddenly saw a sneaky person squatting in front of the toilet.
"Who is it?" Ma Xiaoquan shouted.
When the man saw Ma Xiaoquan, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, I have to go to the toilet, but I didn't bring toilet paper."
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, glanced at the man, took out the straw paper, handed him two pieces, and asked: "Which corps commander are you from? You look familiar, are you Zhang Wu's subordinate?"
The man said: "Yes, yes, I am the subordinate of Captain Zhang Wu."
"Zhang Wu, oh~~" Ma Xiaoquan said oh, glanced at the man, and planned to enter the toilet.
The moment he passed by the man, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly pulled out his belt, jumped up and strangled the man's neck.
"You lied. There is no captain named Zhang Wu in our Ming army camp. Where are you from and what are you going to do?"
Although the other party was strangled by Ma Xiaoquan, the other party had already prepared the dagger when Ma Xiaoquan asked him questions.
With a "stab" sound, the opponent cut off his belt with a knife, turned forward two somersaults, and then stood up.
"Hmph~ You are quite alert~"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and asked again: "Tell me, who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am, my mission has been completed, haha~~~" After saying that, the man turned around and ran away.
Ma Xiaoquan did not hesitate and shouted directly: "Come quickly, there are assassins~"
The man was also surprised. He thought Ma Xiaoquan would chase him, but to his surprise, the other person immediately called someone.
The man didn't hesitate and ran away.
It wasn't that Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to chase him, it was just that he had used too much strength during the day and now his whole body ached, so he couldn't chase that person at all.
"Sir~~" The guard soldier from before ran over, "Sir, where are the assassins?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned: "He has run away, but he probably has not left the city. Go and notify General Zhao immediately, and be sure to guard our food and grass storage area."
"Yes~"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and made a go-go gesture. Then he took the toilet paper and got into the toilet.
...
After Zhao Lijiao got the news, he immediately ordered people to garrison at the grain and grass storage point. Although there were many soldiers stationed there, since the message came from the deacon, there must be something abnormal.
"What else did the deacon say?" Zhao Zhijiao asked the soldier guarding the door.
"No, the deacon is going to the toilet~"
"Okay, I understand~ You can go down~"
"Yes~"
Zhao Shujiao narrowed his eyes slightly, summoned two bodyguards, and said: "We must strictly guard the food and grass storage point. I almost forgot about this. I'm afraid there are Jurchen spies in Jinzhou City. If they happen to
If we burn our food and grass, we will be in trouble. You two have been with me for ten years. You go and guard it carefully. If something happens, you can come to see me."
"Yes~General~"
...
In a corner of Jinzhou City, the man who had met Ma Xiaoquan before was panting and calming down.
"What a risk, we were discovered, but it doesn't matter, I have found out where the Ming army's grain and grass are stored. It would be better if I pass this news to the Great Khan, or I just find a way to burn it~"
The man thought for a while and decided: "If I don't do it, I won't stop. I will sneak in quietly and light the food and grass. Hum~~"
...
Ma Xiaoquan came out of the toilet, stretched out, and murmured: "This big strip is really comfortable, um, but that person just now, I'm afraid he still hasn't given up~ No, I have to go to the food and grass store myself."
Yuan Chuan said: "Ma Xiaoquan, you can no longer control fire like this, otherwise it will put a heavy load on your body and it will be difficult to recover. This war should continue for a while, so please take it easy."
"I know~ don't worry~"
...
The Ming army's grain and grass storage point was in a warehouse a little south of the center of Jinzhou City. Earlier, because the Jurchens wanted to attack the city, the Ming army was afraid that their rockets would damage the grain and grass, so they set up the storage point in the center of the city and
Deploy heavy troops to guard it.
At the entrance of the hoarding point, the two Ming soldiers guarding the area widened their eyes and looked around with vigilance. General Zhao had just sent an order, telling them to keep an eye on the food and grass, and to act immediately if there was a problem.
"This Jinzhou City is so strong. Today, the Jurchens were beaten all day long and couldn't get in. How could anyone sneak in?"
"Yes, but the general has given the order, so you better guard it~"
While the two were chatting intermittently, stars suddenly lit up in the night sky not far ahead, followed by the unique sound of Jurchen horns.
It seems that the previous sneak attack failed, and now the Jurchen army is attacking openly.
From a distance, a Ming army ran over. Panting, he ran up to the two gatekeepers and said: "Fight... the fight is starting, the Jurchen... the Jurchen have invaded, Zhao
The general sent me here to ask for help..."
The two gatekeepers looked at each other and had no doubts: "How can we help? The general just sent an order for us to guard this place strictly. Well, there are patrols not far away from the opposite side~"
The Ming army soldier calmed down and said: "I know, General Zhao said again that you should guard it well. He just wanted me to tell you that you must guard this place well and don't let anyone take advantage of it, especially
It’s a place where grain and grass are kept, right there, you have to guard it~”
A soldier guarding the gate shook his head and said: "This hoarding is too big. Our food and grass are mainly stored in that place. The rest are just careless. Please go back and tell the general. It's safe."
The Ming army soldier lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth in an imperceptible arc. Then he raised his head again and said, "I understand~"
...
When Ma Xiaoquan arrived at the grain and grass storage point, the two soldiers guarding the gate recognized him at a glance. However, in view of the special nature of the guards, they politely asked Ma Xiaoquan to show his identification.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and handed the Liaodong staff badge around his waist to the two of them. After carefully identifying it, the two handed it back to Ma Xiaoquan respectfully.
"Master Deacon, why are you here?"
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and asked, "Has anyone been here before me?"
"There are quite a few~"
"Several ones? What are they all for?"
"They are all messengers. There are general Zhao's cronies, and there is also a person who said it was General Zhao who sent the order for us to guard this place."
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then does anyone ask where the food and grass are stored?"
"Well...there is, the guy who told General Zhao that we should guard this place."
"Do you know each other?"
"I don't know him. But that person should be one of ours~"
"Hmm~~" Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, dragging his chin, and said, "Open the door and take me to the stocking place."
"Sir, this...the general has an order. Without the general's token, no one is allowed to enter."
Ma Xiaoquan stamped his foot and said sternly: "I am the staff officer of the Liaodong Army. Don't let me say it a second time. Open the door~"
Ma Xiaoquan's voice attracted other Ming army guards.
"Eh? Isn't this the deacon?" Two people came out from the guarding Ming army. These two people were the confidants that Zhao led Jiao sent to guard this place before.
Ma Xiaoquan also knew these two people. When he saw them, Ma Xiaoquan said: "Open the door and take me to the food and grass storage point. It's dangerous."
"Sir, how is this possible? We all know everyone who comes here~"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No, there is danger~ Hurry, it will be too late~"
Just as he was talking, a fire suddenly broke out somewhere in the food and grass storage area.
When a fire broke out, the guarding Ming army immediately became confused.
Ma Xiaoquan said loudly: "Open the door immediately and go to put out the fire~"
"Yes~"
The door opened and Ma Xiaoquan was the first to rush in.
The grain and grass storage site occupies a relatively large area, and the place where the fire broke out was about a foot away from him.
Ignoring the severe pain all over his body, Ma Xiaoquan gritted his teeth and ran over. He saw the man who had met him before, holding a fire stick in his hand and blowing it non-stop.
This guy is setting fires!
"Where to run?" Ma Xiaoquan yelled. The man was startled and the fire stick in his hand fell to the ground. He raised his head and saw that it was Ma Xiaoquan. Without thinking too much, he turned around and ran away.
Ma Xiaoquan did not chase the man, but ran closer to see how much of the food and grass had been ignited. At this time, it was okay, it was just ignited and the fire was not too big.
Ma Xiaoquan took off his long coat, and on one side he beat the burning grain and grass, and on the other hand he used his feet to separate the burning grain and the non-burning grain.
Ming troops came from behind one after another, each holding a bucket in their hands. Without waiting for Ma Xiaoquan's further orders, they poured the water in the buckets towards the fire spot.
"Go after that person and run away from there~" Ma Xiaoquan ordered while continuing to put out the fire.
"Yes~"
The fire is getting bigger and bigger. In this era, there are no fire extinguishers and firetrucks. It is impossible to effectively put out the already ignited fire by manpower alone. Often, the fire is almost put out just now, because the follow-up water is not sent out in time.
