After all, it is within our own borders, and there are 10,000 people defending it, so nothing serious will happen.
Could it be that the Great Wei could suddenly appear from within and discover that Granary City was where they stored their grain and grass?
He found it unlikely.
After all, there is only one special force of the Great Wei within the country's borders.
Moreover, the current target of that special force is Gaoping City, which is probably a thousand miles away.
After arranging these things, Li Zai finally felt relieved, then turned to look at the map of Liaozhen and thought about the follow-up plans.
In this way, time passed and slowly it was the second half of the night.
There was a sudden noise outside.
And the sound seemed to be getting louder.
This made Li Zai, who was already feeling a little sleepy, frown immediately and he immediately prepared to walk out.
But at this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed in, knelt on the ground, and said with horror: "No... It's bad, Your Highness, fire, it's fire!"
"Fire?" Li Zai was startled and asked immediately, "What fire?"
"There's a fire in Granary City. It's so big it's lighting up the sky!"
The Gaoyang soldiers were all a little scared.
It’s not that he knew what was in the city, but it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a big fire!
Barn City? Fire? The sky is lit up?
As soon as these three words came out.
Li Zai suddenly lost all his sleepiness, and was replaced by an endless sense of fear.
Immediately, without any hesitation, he rushed out and walked outside.
Soon I saw the most unforgettable scene in my life.
Even though it is dark.
But the sky in the distance was a sea of red, with thick smoke rising straight into the sky.
Although the distance was quite far, he could vaguely hear the sound of something burning.
There is only one thing that can ignite such a big fire!
forage!
Two hundred thousand troops and three months of food and fodder!
Buzz!
A loud roar sounded in Li Zai's ears, and his whole body was shaking at this moment.
"Your Highness!" At this time, several generals from Gaoyang Kingdom also ran over in panic.
Ordinary soldiers don’t know what is in the Granary City, but they know it very well.
"What are you waiting for?"
After a brief blackout, Li Zai regained consciousness, his face flushed as he said, "Why don't you send people to put out the fire? Quickly, have everyone follow me to put out the fire!"
"But Your Highness, if everyone goes, what if the Wei Liaozhen garrison suddenly launches an attack?" A lieutenant general knew the seriousness of the matter, but was worried that the enemy would take this opportunity to attack.
After all, such a big fire would definitely be discovered on the other side.
"I can't care less."
"The most important thing now is the Barn City. Let's go!"
Li Zai knew this truth very well, but he really had no choice.
If the food supplies of an army of 200,000 are on fire, it will be useless for a few hundred or a few thousand people to go and put out the fire, so now, we must do our best to put out the fire.
Although he knew in his heart that even so, there might not be much food left.
But putting out the fire is the only thing I can do now.
Because there is no food.
Everything is over.
Besides, that was the money Gao Yang raised with all the strength of the country, so it is impossible for it to happen again.
Even if the Liaozhen garrison attacked at this moment, as long as they could rescue a little bit, even just a little bit of food and grass, it would be enough.
At worst, we can just give up Xuancheng and retreat to other cities.
As long as there is food, there is still a chance...
There are still chips...
"yes!"
The lieutenant generals looked at each other at this moment, and without any hesitation, they gave the order directly.
at the same time.
Liaozhen.
"Is this the signal you want to give us, General?"
Several deputy generals of the Great Wei stood on the high platform, looking at the huge fire in the distance with surprised expressions.
Just the day before, they received news from Song Hongzhi.
Said there would be a signal soon,
As soon as this signal comes out.
They can then choose to take action.
Obviously, that flash of fire was the so-called signal.
"Looking at the intensity of the fire, it's very likely that Gaoyang Kingdom's granary has caught fire!" At this moment, a deputy general predicted what had happened on the other side of the river through the fire.
"Absolutely, and it's very likely that all of Gaoyang's food and fodder for this battle is stored there."
Another deputy general spoke, his eyes filled with excitement.
All the food and supplies were burned.
What does this mean?
That is, this battle is about to end.
And they could conclude that the fire was definitely set by Song Hongzhi.
Because of the Battle of Licheng, everyone knew about it and understood that the young uncle of the king was definitely not a mediocre person.
Now that the Gaoyang army’s granary has suddenly caught fire, could there be any other reasons?
"This is horrible! The general spent three days marching 800 miles to capture Licheng, and now it only took him three days to return, and he even burned the food and grass of the Xuancheng garrison..."
At this moment, all the deputy generals were shocked, thinking that this speed was really too fast?
Doesn’t the other party need to identify the direction?
"alright!"
At this time, a deputy general came out, looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Since the general has given the signal, then we should not hesitate. Order all soldiers to prepare to move and capture Xuancheng!"
The deputy general's surname was Wang. He was the highest-ranking general in Liaozhen after Song Hongzhi left.
"yes!"
The lieutenants spoke immediately.
Then, without any hesitation, he passed on the order.
