Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 278 Flame Flames

   Walked all the way to the watchtower in the east of the city, Fei Qian and others were discovered by the soldiers stationed on the watchtower.

  Huang Cheng and a few good men saw that they had been spotted, so without saying a word, he drew his sword and rushed into the interior of the watchtower, and stormed up the stairs of the watchtower!

  Besides the Wangqi Tower, there is a mountain. Although it is a little steeper, it is not too difficult to climb down. As long as you repeat the old trick and hang down with a rope, you can escape Hangu Pass smoothly!

  The sounds of fighting above the head subsided quickly. Huang Cheng showed his head and greeted him. Obviously, he had already dealt with the few soldiers on the top of the stage...

  All the people filed in and went to look at the platform.

Fei Qian was touching the wall, taking advantage of the faint light coming in from the windows on both sides, walking up the steps inside the watchtower, and suddenly saw some objects like wine jars placed in the inner ear room of the watchtower. And there seems to be a special smell in the air...

  Fei Qian walked up to the jars, lifted the lid of one of the jars, took a little liquid inside and sniffed it, and was shocked, it turned out to be kerosene!

   Damn it!

  Fei Qian saw that Huang Xu was about to come over holding a torch, so he hurriedly shouted, "Don't come here! It's kerosene!"

  The movements of the people who were frightened suddenly froze for a moment, and their eyes all focused on the ear chamber, feeling a little creepy!

  If I was careless just now, a little spark splashed here...

  And there is actually so much kerosene stored here! No wonder no torches were lit on the watch platform, making it so easy for Fei Qian and the others to dive close.

  The kerosene here obviously exceeds the storage capacity of general Guancheng.

  There was no petroleum refining in the Han Dynasty. Fire oil was generally refined from plant or animal fats, so the cost was not low. It was really not an easy task to collect so much fire oil...

"Be careful!" In fact, without Fei Qian's special reminder, everyone passed this section of the road carefully, especially Huang Xu, who was holding a torch, quickly retreated, threw the torch away, and then boarded Hope platform.

Fei Qian climbed up the lookout platform, the lookout platform is not big, but the parapet walls around it are built quite high, protruding beyond the east wall, and in the middle of the watchtower, a small turret was built, five or six A dead body was lying on the ground, Huang Cheng was standing in a corner of the watchtower, and was pulling the parapet to look outside Hangu Pass...

  Wangqi Tower, like Jiming Tower, is a building that protrudes independently from the east city wall, and is used to expand the attack surface for attacking the east city wall. From the perspective of the observatory, you can just see the dark Dongcheng Gate.

Wangqi Tower is the innermost turret, and Jiming Tower is lower. Although it is almost impossible to climb to Jiming Tower and Wangqi Tower from outside Hangu Pass, but sliding down the mountain, although The **** is a bit bigger, but you only need to master the angle, and there are ropes to assist in slowing down...

  Although the rope is obviously not long enough, it is already enough. It is only as high as one person, and even if you jump directly to the end of the rope, as long as you pay attention, the danger is not too great...

  Fei Qian looked back at the chaotic scene in Hangu Pass. The fire in the public treasury in the inner city attracted the attention of many people, and those soldiers who originally searched on the streets gathered in the city and then turned to search in the valley south of the city...

  Zheng Guanling, you gave me a fire before, now, it's my turn to give you back a fire, a big fire...

  If you want to burn food and grass, there is still a little psychological burden, but now burning the city gates, well, there will still be a little bit, and there will be some destructive little excitement.

Everyone has a desire to destroy, and Fei Qian is no exception. However, in the teaching and social life of later generations, even burning some waste paper with a small match will attract a lot of attention, let alone This mass arson has gone on.

but now…

  Although most of the eastern city wall is made of earth and stone bricks, there are still some things made of wood, such as Lei Mu and gate towers.

  After walking around the death line this evening, the tyranny in Fei Qian's heart was aroused.

   Burn! burn! burn!

It seemed that there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting wildly. Fei Qian looked around. The sound of slashing and killing just now clearly made some soldiers realize that something was wrong here. At this moment, several people are running into the city. It should be Reported to Zheng Chu, and there are one or two team leaders who are organizing some manpower and are coming...

   Well, there's still time!

Fei Qian asked Huang Xu to pick up a few of the torches thrown outside the watchtower and throw them outside the pass, and asked most of the people, mainly those with bird blindness, to hang down from the watchtower and leave Hangu Pass first. .

While asking the people outside the pass to pick up the torches and tear some of their clothes off to make rockets, they asked those who were still on the watchtower to remove the lid of the kerosene jar, and then let it roll forward along the city wall, spilling a stream of water. There are long streaks of oil coming out...

  Anyway, there are many kerosene jars, and Fei Qian is like an abstract painter, letting people splash kerosene at will.

   "There is still a gate!" Fei Qian shouted pointing at the east gate of Hangu Pass. Anyway, it has been exposed now, so there is no need to hide it!

Huang Cheng picked up a jar of kerosene, turned it upside down, and poured a small half of the jar towards the inside of the east wall, then shook it back and forth twice, and as soon as he let go, the half jar of kerosene flew obliquely into the door opening , "cracked" and smashed into a smash, and the flames splashed...

   Fei Qian quickly helped to pick up a jar and poured it inside the east city wall. Anyway, this side inside the east city wall is Zheng Chu's government office, so there is no burden to burn it.

  Huang Cheng and Huang Xu took turns throwing jars of kerosene into the door opening. Although each time it was only about half a jar, after throwing seven or eight jars in a row, the entire opening of the city gate was covered with kerosene.

Seeing that the soldiers in the pass were gradually gathered under Zheng Chu's command, and were heading towards this side, Fei Qian smiled, and finally kicked two jars, and greeted him, grabbing the rope hanging from the watchtower , swinging down, but because he didn't control the strength well, he swung a little higher, had to bump into the city wall twice, and got down Hangu Pass with his teeth and mouth cracked.

Then the few people who stayed on the watchtower came down one by one. Huang Cheng stayed at the end and watched the soldiers swarming over the east wall. The nearest one was almost at the watchtower, so he laughed and turned over. , holding the rope with one hand, pedaling continuously on the mountain with both feet, slowing down the speed, and landing gracefully, compared with Fei Qian's embarrassed appearance.

  As soon as Huang Cheng landed, he grabbed the lighted bow and arrow handed over by the person beside him...

  I saw the rocket draw a mysterious and mysterious trace, and landed on the lookout platform like an antelope's horns. Almost instantly, the flame exploded and spread rapidly along the trace of kerosene!

  From the watchtower to the east gate, most of the east wall was engulfed in raging fire! In this way, even if Zheng Cui wanted to go out and hunt him down, he would have to wait for the flames of the city gate to go out. Now, he can only stare blankly...

   Feiqian shouted loudly: "It's not rude to come and not to go! Thank you for your kindness!"

  Huang Cheng and others also shouted afterward: "Come here and don't go indecently! Thank you for your kindness! Hahahaha!"

  The flames were transpiring, and Zheng Chuan's face was a little distorted...

   PS: The temperature is high these days, it is really uncomfortable to bake...

   It seems that it makes sense that the great people in the Three Kingdoms like to use fire. I think I am half-baked now, and I still write articles about flames, which is simply self-harm...
