Cangzhou beacon fire

Chapter 36
At this time, what Fan Yi saw were granaries like pillars of fire. The fire was so intense that the entire camp was lit up. He knew the disaster, so he quickly grabbed a soldier and asked, "What's going on?"

"Sneak attack by the enemy! Sneak attack by the enemy!" The soldier was so frightened that he just kept repeating.

Fan Qing pushed away the frightened little soldier, and inspected the surroundings. Everything on the chain bridge is safe, and the guard post beside the bridge is not damaged. How did the enemy come in?More importantly, how did the enemy know the location of Ginkgo Beach?But at this moment, he was not in the mood to worry about it. The most important thing right now was to put out the fire!

"Wake up the other soldiers, take the guy, kill the enemy and put out the fire!"

At this moment, a bottle of kerosene exploded on the roof of the camp behind Fan Qing, and immediately the top of the tent caught fire.

Fan Qing subconsciously bent down to dodge, and then looked in the direction where the kerosene bottle was thrown, and saw a man in black running hurriedly not far away, holding a burning kerosene bottle in each hand. Soon, the man in black roared, and threw a kerosene bottle into another camp. The bottle cracked and the oil splashed. In an instant, the roof of another camp was also on fire. A large number of disheveled Sanyuan soldiers came from the burning camp. The house rat scurried out.

The second time he succeeded, looking at the two burning camps, a smile appeared on Liu Xin's face. At this moment, only the chain bridge was left, and Fan Qing and a group of Sanyuan soldiers not far in front were as transparent as ever Ignored by Liu Xin.

"He wants to burn the bridge! Shoot me! Don't let him succeed!" Seeing Liu Xin's purpose, Fan Qing shouted. Once the bridge burns, there will be no way to send troops to report.

Several Sanyuan soldiers at the guard post beside the iron chain bridge had also spotted Liu Xin who was running towards him at a high speed, and they all raised their arrows in panic and shot.

The rain of arrows came, but Liu Xin didn't dodge. He was hit by several arrows in his chest immediately. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and threw the last kerosene bottle in his hand heavily against another wave of arrows. go out.

With a "bang", the kerosene bottle exploded on the ground. Perhaps it was due to the serious injury or physical exhaustion. The kerosene bottle didn't hit the chain bridge, and exploded a foot away from the bridge.

Fan Qing was completely drunk at this time, he organized the Sanyuan garrison as quickly as possible, and quickly cleared away all the men in black who were sneaking up.

But at this time, the granary was almost like a pillar of fire soaring into the sky. In the dry weather, the fire could not be controlled at all.

"Put out the fire! What are you doing in a daze! Come on, put out the fire!" Fan Qing roared almost crazily. Fan Yi, the clan brother, entrusted himself with the responsibility of protecting the food. Now that the food and grass are all destroyed, the head on his shoulder may not be saved. .

At the camp at the exit of the Sanyuan dense forest, Fan Yi heard the guards say that the northwest was abnormal, and immediately rushed out of the camp in a cold sweat. The flames in the northwest were already very conspicuous in the dark night. He knew where it was, Sanyuantun Ginkgo beach, the land of food.

"What is that bastard Fan Qing doing!" Fan Yi cursed secretly. Although the situation was unknown, the fire couldn't have happened for no reason. Of course, he also thought that it might just be a fire caused by a dry thing, so he immediately sent a team of scouts to check it out.

Fan Yi's last glimmer of hope was completely shattered when the urgent soldiers sent by Ginkgo Beach, he froze on the spot, unable to react for a long time.

"Fan Qing! This mediocre! Send people to Ginkgo Beach immediately and execute him on the spot!" Fan Yi yelled, but no one around him dared to move. Go move this hand.

The deputy general next to him came over to persuade him: "General Fan, the most urgent thing at this time is to send troops to report the situation to General Yan Da, and let him quickly mobilize the army rations. There is only one day's rations in the camp."

Fan Yi shook his head with a gloomy expression: "Where is there any military rations? Back then, I thought Ginkgo Beach was hidden and the waterway was convenient, so most of the rations under General Yan's troops were stored here. Who leaked the news?"

All the generals looked at each other, but no one answered.

The lieutenant continued: "General Fan, the food and grass are all destroyed. If you are dragged by the Yue army in this dense forest, it will be all over!"

These words reminded Fan Yi, he woke up with a start, and said sharply: "The whole army pulls out the camp, retreats to join General Yan outside Baishui City, hurry up!"

Just as Fan Yi's Sanyuan army was nervously dismantling the camp, the marching drum of the Yue army in the dense forest sounded mightily, and the sound of the drum was like a death knell, hitting the nerves of Fan Yi and the Sanyuan soldiers with every sound.

In the dense forest in the distance, Zhong Lin and Xia Houyin rode out, and rows of Yue cavalry behind them also slowly appeared.

"Now that the enemy army is scattered, the whole army will attack, and Fan Yi must be captured alive!" For the first time, a smile appeared on Zhong Lin's face, who had been worried for many days.

In Ginkgo Beach, dozens of granaries are still burning, and the tempting rice aroma and the unpleasant burnt smell are mixed together to form another indescribable smell.

Fan Qing sat paralyzed on the open space in the camp, surrounded by Sanyuan soldiers who were non-stop participating in the fire fighting with various water containers, but Fan Qing looked dull, ignoring the crowd of three people passing by. Yuan soldiers.

"Impossible, this location is very secret, it is impossible for Yue Jun to find it." Fan Qing muttered to himself: "Unless someone leaked the secret..."

When he said the word leak, Fan Qingmeng thought for a long time, then sat up straight suddenly, his eyes kept rolling, and when his eyes froze, he was covered in cold sweat, and blurted out a word: "Pang Baichuan!"

That's right, that day after his clan brother decided to use this as a grain camp, Pang Baichuan came to talk to him that night. As Pang Baichuan was the right staff officer of General Yan, of course Fan Qing would not hide anything from him.Other than that, he never mentioned the location selection of grain storage to anyone!

Although he was not sure that it was Pang Baichuan who leaked the secret, Fan Qing still felt the need to tell his clan brother Fan Yi, he quickly stood up and shouted to the guard post on the Chain Bridge: "Give me a horse, I'm going to the mouth of the dense forest! "

And just as he was riding his horse and was about to cross the chain bridge, a dense rain of arrows roared from the other side of the chain bridge, and the sound of piercing through the sky was particularly ear-piercing.

When the three-yuan food guard soldiers who were busy putting out the fire came to their senses, the rain of arrows had already arrived, causing countless casualties.

"Ah!" The attack came suddenly, and Fan Qing was unprepared. For a while, his body, arms, and thighs were hit by several arrows.

In the dark of night, after the two waves of arrows had been attacked, the entire Ginkgo Beach returned to calm again, only sparse groans and screams could be heard.

However, the silence didn't last long. The sound of clanging chains turned from weak to strong, and then the chain bridge shook up and down. Fan Qing, who had fallen to the ground and was dying, looked at the swinging chain bridge. He knew that the enemy had crossed the bridge.

At this time, Fan Qing's body was trembling slightly, and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He vaguely felt that many people walked past him quickly, and then wailing and screams came from his ears. Those were all sounds he was familiar with.

At this time, a slow footstep stopped beside Fan Qing.

"General Fan, you are safe and sound." The sound of a voice instantly awakened Fan Qing's originally vague will, and it was another familiar voice.

With the last of his strength, Fan Qing raised his head with difficulty, staring at the white-clothed young man in front of him. Under the moonlight, that white-clothed youth seemed to be impermanent in hell.

"Pang...Pang Bochuan...you...you traitor..."
