Chapter Seventy-One: Fire in the South of the City
When Yu Qian heard this name, he thought it was quite vivid. Indeed, when this mechanism was launched, it was like a swarm of wasps, which only made people's ears buzz.
But he couldn't understand it later, what is the Ming Dynasty Katyusha? However, if you know it, you know it, and if you don't know, the principle of learning is naturally very clear to Shangshu.
"Your Majesty! What is Ming Katyusha?"
"..."
Li Lin was speechless, doesn't Yu Qian know how to look at form?
Now the enemy is attacking the city, they are attacking the city! Besides, after I have explained Daming and Katyusha to you, are you not afraid that your views will be shattered?
"Master Yu, concentrate!"
Li Lin did not say much on this topic.
In the handsome tent under the city.
"What is this?"
"So powerful!"
"Report, Pioneer 3000 has been dispersed, and the survivors are retreating!"
"Report, the 2,000 pioneers have been dispersed, and the survivors are retreating!"
At this time, the commander's camp was in chaos, and bad news came one after another. The other generals' expressions became worse and worse after hearing the news, and they kept complaining to the people around them.
"Quiet!" Ning Chuan shouted in a deep voice to silence the noisy generals.
"Chen He is so noisy? Although this siege did not go smoothly, how many times have we successfully completed the siege?"
The atmosphere instantly became quiet when they heard Ning Chuan's words, because this was their habit. When Ning Chuan spoke, they only had to follow him and there was no need for them to use their brains.
After saying that, Ning Chuan stood up, stepped down from the main seat, and went to the generals and scanned them one by one.
Although inconspicuous, this action gave these generals great confidence.
"The current situation is not much different from a normal siege, it's just that the way of being blocked is a little strange."
"This makes you panic? Are you distracted? How do I teach you on weekdays!"
As Ning Chuan spoke, he walked back to his seat and sat down.
"Your Majesty, General, we have been fighting in the north and south for decades, and we just encountered some resistance today. It's not a big deal. Please feel at ease, generals, and go back to camp to settle down your soldiers."
"General, I will obey!" Several people agreed in unison, and then retreated.
Ning Chuan also had a headache at this time. This was indeed a bit tricky. The arrows he shot intimidated many people, and the shield soldiers simply couldn't hold on.
"Can we just rely on the crowds?" Ning Chuan frowned and thought in his mind.
At this time, several major generals and officials were surrounding Li Lin on the city wall.
"My lord, what if they really use a sea of people?"
"What I wish for."
Li Lin smiled and replied to Han She's question.
He hasn't taken out his main city defense weapon yet. The biggest reason is that his attack ability is only slightly stronger than that of a swarm of swarms.
"Here we go again, here we go again!"
The Northern Army moved again amidst the sound of war drums, and everyone shouted "kill" with ferocious faces!
After the swarm of bees were loaded, the sound of swishing arrows piercing the air, and the killing sounds continued to disappear.
"Report! Your Majesty, it's not good!"
A bodyguard ran over, shouting as he ran.
Li Lin's face darkened. These personal guards of his were all secret guards. They didn't know the rules in the army, so they dared to speak loudly and easily disturb the morale of the army at the forefront of the battle.
"I have to train him carefully in the future, otherwise it will be a big mistake later." Li Lin thought.
"What's the decency of panicking?!" Li Lin angrily scolded.
The guard looked at the reactions of everyone in front of him, and then looked at Li Lin's reaction. He knew that he had made a mistake this time, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee.
"The general will finally realize his mistake, please punish him!"
"First tell me what happened. I want to see if what you said is worth your panic!"
"Your Majesty! The Nancheng Granary, the granary is on fire."
"What!?" Everyone was stunned.
"Humph, I know that the granary in Nancheng is unreliable, and all the food has been transferred."
Li Lin didn't panic at all and said casually.
At this time, Han She, Gu Sinan and other generals were looking at Li Lin with suspicious expressions.
Only the person in front of him immediately stepped forward to compliment him.
"Your Majesty has a wonderful plan, and these thieves and villains will naturally not succeed."
Li Lin looked at Yu with relief.
"He is indeed my strongest brain substitute, no one else has such a reaction,"
I thought about continuing along the slope.
"Your Excellency Yu, you are so flattering, but now the arsonist is also in my trap. Let's go and see where our friends are."
After speaking, Li Lin took the lead and turned around and walked towards the stairs of the city wall, followed immediately by Yu Qian.
Although Han She was not as fast as before, he was still a battle-hardened general and he had reacted now. He also followed Li Lin and decided not to publicize anything other than major issues such as food and grass issues.
When Han She left, he took a photo of Gu Sinan who was still confused next to him.
"I'll go first, you hold the line here."
Han She told Gu Sinan that although Gu Sinan was Li Lin's brother-in-law, he was still under his command in the Beijing Army. Basically, he was Han She's subordinate general.
"General, I will obey your order!" Gu Sinan promised.
The three of them walked down the city wall, thinking about the Nancheng Granary.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"This morning the warehouse officer took our quartermaster to pick up grain from the warehouse. Everything was normal. However, as soon as the warehouse officer opened the granary, it suddenly caught fire."
"Does it smell like anything?"
"The general didn't smell it himself, he just heard it conveyed by others."
"Then who sent you the message?"
"He is one of ours, there is no problem."
Li Lin, who was a secret guard, did not suspect this person after hearing this.
The few of them arrived at the Nancheng Grain Depot without any further communication.
At this time, the warehouse was completely dark, and debris from the burning was still flying in the air. The fire disappeared as quickly as it came, and now there was an open flame.
Li Lin sniffed it gently.
"Where is the treasurer?" Li Lin walked inside, walked to Ashes and turned over it.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen is the local treasurer, Jia Yi."
The person who came was an old man with a pale complexion. A warehouse of food burned up in an instant. This grave crime was enough to make him die hundreds of times.
Li Lin turned to look at the treasurer and continued to dig in the ashes.
"Are you from Jin country?"
"Yes...yes."
"How long have you been a treasurer?"
"Thirty-six years."
Li Lin pulled another piece of ashes in front of him, and then continued to walk inside, picking up the ashes with his feet as he walked.
"Thirty-six years is indeed a long time, and I have gained a lot of experience."
"Wei Chen is terrified!"
"Should you be a little scared? Can the grain and grass of your Kingdom of Jin be stored together with flint? Or do you know that this is my city in Daxia, so you want to clear the country with strong walls?"
Li Lin said and finally turned around slowly, with a deathly gloomy look on his face, and looked at Jia Yi quietly.
"It's wrong, it's wrong!" Jia Yi's already weak legs could no longer support his body. He suddenly knelt on the ground and started banging.
"Unjust? Smell the smell in the air. Is this the smell of burning grain and grass?"
"Look at the white powder in the ashes. What is it if it's not flint powder?"
"Or do you just want to tell me that this is how your Jin country's warehouse is arranged?"
