In the afternoon, the sun is slanting towards the west and the cool breeze blows.
The sun gradually receded into the clouds.
In the evening, the cloudless sky began to gather clouds, and the wind became stronger and cooler.
It's finally cooling down!
The guards were overjoyed. After eating and drinking, they raised their heads and looked up at the sky: "It will probably rain tomorrow."
Qin Wuyan stood on the stone, looked up at the sky, and had already watched for a whole stick of incense.
Deputy Commander Zhang came over and handed a bowl of porridge to Qin Wuyan: "Commander Qin, tomorrow will be the seventh day, and the bandits still haven't made any movement, and I'm afraid they won't come out. When will we attack directly tomorrow? ?”
Qin Wuyan withdrew his gaze, took the porridge bowl from Vice Commander Zhang's hand with downcast eyes, and smiled with his lips curled up: "You don't have to wait until tomorrow, you can act tonight."
"Tonight?" Vice-Commander Zhang was gearing up excitedly, "I will organize my team immediately and attack the mountain."
Qin Wuyan waved his hand: "No need."
Deputy Commander Zhang: "..."
Confused, he didn't know what Qin Wuyan meant.
"Are you going to lead someone to lead the battle yourself?" Deputy Commander Zhang's eyes were shining brightly: "That's fine, I will lead someone to follow behind you to protect you."
Qin Wuyan shook his head again, but raised his hand to the confidant guard behind him, and said, "Everything is ready, the wind is blowing!"
As soon as the words were finished, the people behind Qin Wuyan picked up the bound arrows. The arrows were wrapped with withered grass and kerosene, and after the porridge was cooked, they were lit in the fire that had not been extinguished. After that, they started to set arrows , Shoot the rocket towards the mountain.
As night fell slowly, thousands of rockets jumped into the air and flew toward the mountainside.
In the night sky, like shining meteors, they ignited the night into day, until a raging fire broke out halfway up the mountain.
The sky was dry and everything was dry, and there was no trace of sparks. The leaves of the fir trees on the mountain withered and fell, and a thick layer of dry yellow leaves underneath, with the help of the wind, quickly burned and swept the entire mountain forest.
Deputy Commander Zhang watched this scene, dumbfounded.
He originally thought that these Min Mansion guards with quiver on their backs were because there were too few of them. In order to protect Qin Wuyan, they carried a guard knife and carried a quiver on their backs just in case the two parties got up. conflict.
But I never expected it to have such a use.
Who are the rogues in the mountain? Vice-commander Zhang knows better than anyone else. He couldn't bear to watch his own people being burned alive like this.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Commander Qin hasn't attacked for so long, is he just waiting for this moment?"
"Otherwise?" Qin Wuyan asked back.
"Those rogues..." Deputy Commander Zhang cleared his throat, trying to make himself look calmer: "Those people are all rogues, but they were once good citizens. What the High Priest and Commander Xia mean, The best way is to catch them and persuade them to be good, and just burn these people to death, will the killing be too heavy?"
Qin Wuyan's voice was cold and thin: "If Vice Commander Zhang doesn't want these people to be burned alive in the cottage, he can take people to attack and rescue those people, as much as he can save... .
This Commander is here, waiting for your good news from Deputy Commander Zhang. "
Deputy Commander Zhang: "..."
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Qin Wuyan say again: "But I want to say the ugly things first. This commander has watched the stars at night for several nights. The wind is very strong tonight, and it will rain at dawn, and the rain is fierce. At that time, the entire mountain forest will be full of thick smoke...
The guards you brought were lucky enough not to be burned to death by the fire, or they might be choked to death by the thick smoke. I also ask Deputy Commander Zhang to think twice before acting. If he dies in the line of duty, this commander will help you to show his merits in front of the high priest. …”
Deputy Commander Zhang: "..."
