Chapter 1597 1599 [Stealing camp]

   When the officers and soldiers ran, you pushed me, and I squeezed you. Because the mountain road is narrow, a stampede happened soon due to road grabbing.

   There were screams and wailing all over the place for a while, before Xiang Nan and others killed them, they had already suffered heavy losses.

  Xiang Nan and others chased after the officers and soldiers, killed a lot, seized countless military funds, and then returned to the mountain triumphantly.

   "Master is really the reincarnation of Zhuge. He is resourceful and strategizing. Thousands of officers and soldiers were repelled. It is really amazing." After returning, Deng Chang couldn't help admiring.

  They used to be petty thieves, and they thought it was a great thing to steal hundreds of taels of silver. Unlike now, thousands of officers and soldiers were actually driven away.

  The joy of life is nothing more than this.

   "It's all thanks to the fact that Laojun Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so my strategy can work." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "If it is a plain area, and encounters such a large army surrounded, it must be as far as possible."

  Laojunshan mountain road is narrow and steep, it is difficult for the army to form a formation, and the operation is seriously affected. As the saying goes, one husband is in charge of the gate, and ten thousand husbands cannot open it.

   In fact, the officers and soldiers are already very powerful. The shield soldiers attacked, the archers assisted, and the supervising team pressed the ground. If he was in charge, there would be no better arrangement.

   It can be seen that He Kun still has a lot of tricks, but he doesn't take advantage of the right time, place and people. It is no surprise that they lost.

   "Okay, let's not talk much, immediately rebuild the rolling logs and rocks, I guess the army will arrive soon." Xiang Nan said again.

  Deng Chang and others listened to the order, and then moved the rolling wood and rocks up the mountain again to deal with the upcoming fight.

  …

   Sure enough, that night, Liu Jin arrived with seven thousand troops.

   Knowing that the vanguard was thwarted, more than a thousand people were killed and injured, and a general manager and two deputy saber commanders were also killed. Liu Jin couldn't help being so angry that he smashed another table.

   "It's disgusting, you are all worthless!" Liu Jin scolded, "How many people can there be in a mere Tai Chi Sect. You three thousand troops can't do anything about it, what's the use of supporting you?"

  He originally wanted to conquer the world and live the addiction of being the emperor. It never occurred to him that his 3,000-strong army could not even take down a stronghold, and instead killed and wounded more than a thousand. It was extremely shameful and highly anticipated.

   "Elder-in-law calm down, I will lead the army to rush up the mountain, promise to catch all the rebels, and vent my anger on the father-in-law." Deputy Lan Daotong immediately asked Ying.

   "Okay." Liu Jin nodded, "It's not too late. You should go as soon as it is dark and the thieves are negligent."

   Lan Fu Dao Tong immediately ordered 3,000 soldiers, and then attacked up the mountain.

  …

  At the same time, Xiang Nan and Jun Bao had already quietly descended the mountain and sneaked into the barracks.

  They all carried kerosene on their backs, and they were going to burn all Liu Jin's food and grass.

   In this way, the army will have to withdraw without food and grass.

   As the guardian eunuch, Liu Jin still has the ability.

  As soon as the army arrived, they immediately ordered people to surround Laojun Mountain. One post at five steps, one sentry at ten steps, the defense is strict, so that not even a fly can fly out.

  But this kind of defense method may be effective against ordinary masters.

  But Xiang Nan and Jun Bao are both top-notch masters, extremely agile, they don't run on the ground at all, but perform lightness kung fu, constantly bouncing on trees, as fast as apes. Easily crossed the line of defense and mixed into the barracks.

   Entering the barracks, you can see that the defense is equally tight. Especially the commander's main camp and the granary are heavily guarded. There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and the enclosure is impenetrable to wind and rain.

   "Brother, what should we do?" Seeing this, Jun Bao asked hastily.

   "It's a trick to fish in troubled waters." Xiang Nan said immediately when he saw it, and then took out the kindling and ignited many military camps.

  The fire quickly ignited, lighting up half of the sky, Xiang Nan and Jun Bao took the opportunity to shout, "There's a fire, come and put out the fire~"

  Suddenly, the barracks moved, and the soldiers panicked, fought the fire, or ran for their lives. Xiang Nan and Jun Bao took the opportunity to mix in, pretending to fight the fire, but in fact they took advantage of the chaos and threw the fire everywhere.

   In a short time, half of the barracks was on fire. The flames soared into the sky, reflecting half of the night sky red.

  The raging fire made the soldiers even more flustered, running around, screaming, and making a mess.

"It must be the rebels who came to set the fire. Chen Zhao, Li Jie, and you immediately send more soldiers to guard the food and grass." Liu Jin walked out of the main camp, looked at the sky full of fire, and ordered the five deputy swordsmen under his command to say, "Zhao Min, Cai Hu, and you lead the team, stabilize your position, maintain order, and those who feel yelling and scurrying around will be killed immediately."

  The five deputy swordsmen listened in unison, and immediately took orders to go.

   One team is responsible for gathering the panicked soldiers, and the other team is responsible for strengthening the care of food and grass.

  …

  Seeing that under the guidance of these deputy swordsmen, the order of the barracks began to restore, the panicked soldiers gradually gathered, and the fire fighting operations were effectively launched.

   Right at this moment, from nowhere, a few throwing guns flew out.

   Poof! puff! puff! But after hearing a few muffled noises, Chen Zhao, Li Jie, Zhao Min, and Cai Hu, the four deputy sword commanders, were stabbed to the bone and killed on the spot.

   "Deputy Chen is dead."

   "Deputy Li Daotong is also dead~"

   "Deputy Zhao Tong is also dead..."

  The soldiers began to shout, and the order that had been almost maintained, became chaotic again.

  A snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. There were not many deputy sword commanders in charge of maintenance, and the soldiers were at a loss as to what to do, and worried that they would die in a daze, so they panicked immediately.

   This also makes it easier for Xiang Nan and Jun Bao to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos.

   Only the soldiers guarding the granary and the main camp remained motionless and stuck to their posts. Such strict discipline is expected to be Liu Jin's elite.

   Fortunately, Xiang Nan was also prepared. He took out the black iron can from the package on his back, lit it, and threw it on the grain storehouse from a distance.

   There was a loud bang, and the iron tank exploded violently, and the kerosene inside splashed everywhere, and then burned rapidly.

   At the same time, Jun Bao also threw a few iron cans on the forage, which also made the forage beep, beep, and burn.

   "The grain and grass are on fire, hurry up and put out the fire~" The soldiers shouted after seeing this.

  However, the soldiers were already in a panic, and there was no deputy knife to guide them in the middle, so it was difficult to organize an efficient firefighting team. Coupled with the fact that the sky is dry and things are extremely flammable, it is difficult to extinguish the fire for a while.

   It burned for nearly half an hour before the fire was barely extinguished.

   At this time, Xiang Nan and Jun Bao had already escaped from the camp and returned to the mountain.

  Seeing that Lan Fu Dao Tong, who was going to attack the mountain, had already retreated with the defeated troops.

  It turned out that they also suffered heavy losses in Nantianmen, and were killed and injured by rolling logs, rocks, soil bombs, and bitter bamboo guns.

   However, Lan Fudao Tong didn't care about the casualties of hundreds of people.

   But unexpectedly, just as he was about to lead the death squads to attack, the big camp at the foot of the mountain actually ignited a raging fire. The fire was so big that it could be seen clearly on the mountainside.

   Seeing this, the soldiers couldn't help but shake their confidence.

  If the big camp is breached, then even if they attack the mountain, it is of no use, so morale plummets.

   Lan Deputy Dao Tong was also worried about an accident in the barracks, so he had to withdraw troops temporarily.
