Chapter 1648

After the captive was released by the lieutenant general, he killed a soldier, put on his clothes, then hid the body and appeared in his barracks in his name.

Yesterday they attacked here not only without success, but they were also beaten down, and now he was released and must avenge the dead brother.

The captive walked to the place where the food was placed, which was the most guarded place in the entire barracks, but he happened to be on duty, so he sneaked in while the soldier was on duty.

Food is an indispensable thing for marching to fight. It can be said that food is the pillar of the soldiers. If there is no food, it will destroy the spirit of the soldiers.

After the captive set fire, he immediately left the barracks. Because he was wearing the clothes of Chu Qing army soldiers, not at all people noticed.

After the soldiers guarding the food found out that it was on fire, they immediately started to fight the fire. Buckets of water splashed on the fire, but they could not control the fire.

Chu Qing learned that the food had been burned, and hurried over there. When he saw the fire, he had no time to think about it. He quickly commanded: “Come here, move the surrounding food first, and others continue to fight the fire. Do n’t let the fire spread. . “

Under the command of Chu Qing, a small part of the food was rescued, and the rest was still being burned by the fire. In the end, the fire could not be controlled. In order not to cause casualties, Chu Qing had to give up the food and ordered the soldiers to take the surroundings. Take measures to prevent another place from catching fire.

Chu Qing looked at the mess, solemnly asked: “Why did it catch fire suddenly? Who is guarding the grain and grass?”

“Reporting to General, we are guarded by several of us.” Several soldiers said on their knees, they looked up towards Chu Qing, said: “But we don’t know why there was a sudden fire? The fire started from the inside. “

Chu Qing frowned, according to the current weather temperature, fundamentally spontaneous combustion occurred, then that is, someone deliberately set fire. Is that the lieutenant general again?

“General, general, major event is not good.”

Chu Qing turned around towards the soldier who hurried towards him, said solemnly: “What happened again?”

The man was too late to saluted and said anxiously: “The captive we caught last night escaped, and he killed us alone.”

“General Chu, he may have set this fire.” Another soldier beside him said.

Chu Qing’s face was very ugly. Last night they were attacked by sneak. Although they defeated in victory, they also caused a lot of casualties. Today the grain and grass were burned again. This is a big blow to the soldiers in the military camp.

The soldiers standing next to each other looked at each other and asked, “General Chu, now the grain and grass are burning, what shall we do next?”

Chu Qing frowned as he walked towards the tent and said, “Send a few people to chase the escaped captives and tell them that if something is wrong during the chase, return immediately and do not act without authorization. Also, let the spies continue to explore the enemy’s movements Last night ’s sneak attack failed, there will be some action, pay close attention to all the movements of the enemy. In addition, find another 3 good people to see me. “

“Yes, general.”

When Chu Qing returned to the tent, he immediately wrote a letter to the emperor to make it clear that the grain was burned, and asked the emperor to distribute the grain as soon as possible. The battle between the two sides is just around the corner. Grain and grass are indispensable for marching. Without the support of grain and grass, the soldiers’ psychological defense line will soon collapse, which is very detrimental to them.

Chu Qing handed the letter to the soldiers, instructing them to send the letter to the city quickly, and to hand it to the emperor. And explain that they should pay close attention to the surrounding movements during the delivery, so as not to be intercepted by the enemy.
