Section 106 Arson
The burning torch every ten steps makes the thirty steps outside the fence look like daytime. Every hundred steps there is a lookout tower, with two crossbowmen and lookout posts on it, and you can see the surroundings at a glance.
It is obvious that the Shouzhou navy is quite strict in self-defense. The alarm bell and gong are closely connected. If there is any abnormality, it can be immediately alerted.
Even if an archer wants to attack with a rocket, he may not be able to achieve his goal. As long as he can react in time, he can be strangled in the bud.
But Jiang Feng's trip was specially made, of course it would not be as simple as rocket attacks.
"Zihui, if the camp outside the city is burned, will the navy in the city come to help the camp outside the city?" Jiang Feng's eyes wandered.
"I'm afraid this may not be." Zheng Hui hesitated for a moment. "Although the Umeda family now conspires to deal with our Zheng family, it is based on the premise of dividing up our Zheng family's business, and there are deep contradictions themselves."
"Well, I understand." Jiang Feng nodded. If this is the case, then there is no need to spend too much effort on it. He just needs to cause a fire in the camp and restrain the Tian family's naval army from being unable to invest in support of the naval army in the city. After all, there will be a battle in the city.
More than ten people began to disperse according to Zheng Hui's instructions and prepared to launch an attack.
Zheng Hui was so familiar with this terrain that he could not be familiar with it anymore. The understanding between the three families can be imagined. Over the years, no one could hide it from each other. Even though the navy was always under the control of Umeda, the Zheng family was also guarding against it.
All ten powerful crossbowmen were selected from the Third Army of Wuzhou, and the crossbow arrows were no longer ordinary crossbow arrows, but fire-like magic arrows carefully created by Daozang Institute and Caiguan.
This kind of magic arrow is very different from ordinary rockets. Ordinary rockets are just stained with tinder oil, and even more advanced ones, they only have some red phosphorus attached to them. They catch fire through friction during the flight of the arrows. The special arrows soaked in the light in front of them obviously do not belong to this category.
Several magicians were lowering their heads, closing their hands together to activate the Xuan Shen, and giving the final blessing to these special arrows before using them.
This is a special magic arrow made with Qianyang wood and mineral powder.
The magicians attach the fire magic to combine the special wooden material such as Qianyang Wood by attaching it.
When the crossbow arrow hits the target, it will explode due to the impact force of the collision. The Qianyang Wood Slag splashes around, and at the same time, there is fire magic attached, which will continue to burn and form a fire point.
Idle fire extinguishing methods such as watering and slapping cannot extinguish this fire. They can only be covered with sand and soil to bury the fire. However, if they fall on the walls of wooden buildings, there is almost no solution unless they are solved by water-based techniques.
Jiang Feng also asked about the situation of magicians in Zheng Huishouzhou naval army. Such naval troops must be equipped with magicians, which is a question that needs to be considered.
Zheng Hui's answer made Jiang Feng very happy. The magicians of the Shouzhou navy did not live in the camp. They had their own residence in the city, which means that tonight, they could not provide assistance in extinguishing the fire.
"Ge Han, you are responsible for directing them to start the fire, starting from now on, and starting in a moment!"
After Jiang Feng told Ge Han, he waved his hand to signal Zheng Hong to lead the way. Several other powerful crossbowmen and magicians wanted to swim through the North City Water Gate together, and then launched an offensive attack on the Mei Shujun camp within the Water Gate, delaying the time to the maximum extent.
******************************************************
After Tian Chunrong and the Mei sons said goodbye, they got on a carriage and returned to the house with Tian Chunwang, Tian Zhihe, Tian Zhide and others.
The Tian family courtyard is surrounded by Jinluo Street in the west of Shouzhou City. It is a famous Fengshui treasure land. A small stream flows through the tree-shaded land, with stone mountains in the mountains. Along the stream are more than ten large houses of the Tian family. Members of the Tian family basically live here, and together with Changning Street where the Mei family lives in the city, the city is called the Da Mansion in Shouchun City.
"Brother, what's going on in Chunlai? I feel like he's in a bad mood. I'm worried that the Zheng family will resist?" Tian Chunwang is not a martial artist, but he is the most professional in business among the Tian family. He asked casually while burping.
"Not exactly, Chunlai went to Jiangdu, and he was a little worried about the changes in the situation in Wu." Tian Chunrong's mood was also much worse when Tian Chunwang mentioned this question.
The situation in Wu is closely related to Shouzhou. If the King of Wu, Yang, was really driven away by Xu, then the Tian family would have to find another way out.
Although the Mei family is mediocre and the situation in Huaibei is not good now, as long as the ant thief leaves Huaibei, with the current strength of the Shi family, it will be able to recover within one or two years, and the impact is not great. How can the Tian family deal with the pressure of the Mei family at that time?
Thinking of this, Tian Chunrong seemed to agree with Tian Chunlai's view. The division of Zheng's family is benefiting from the moment, but in the long run, once the stable triangle pattern is broken, especially if the situation in Wu changes, it will be even more dangerous for Tian.
Because there is no such piece as the Zheng family, the Tian family had to deal with the Mei family head-on, and the idea of dominating Shouzhou is probably not only the Tian family, but the Mei family probably has it. In this case, unless the Tian family can find a new backer in a short period of time.
Tian Zhihe and Tian Zhide are juniors, but they are gradually participating in the core secrets of Tian’s family. At this time, they listened quietly to the conversation between the two elders.
"Ah? Xu really can't wait? What should I do?" Tian Chunwang was responsible for Tian's wine and cloth business, and his main trading partner was Wu. He also knew a lot about the situation in Wu. Once the situation in Wu changes, I am afraid that Tian's business will be greatly affected, which is even more unfavorable to Tian's family.
"I can only take one step and see one step. The situation is still a bit chaotic. The King of Wu may not have really lost to the Xu family. The states around this week still support His Highness the King of Wu. The Xu family may not dare to be so bold."
Tian Chunrong sighed, this can only be said to be self-comfort. Chunlai's attitude after coming back has already shown a lot. The repeated emphasis on the King of Wu's fear of Xu Zhigao is enough to show too many problems.
The carriages are walking around the streets with wheels, and the fortune this year seems to be not very good. Caizhou, Huaibei, and Xuzhou have all brought some impact to Shouzhou.
Faced with the collapse of Zheng, if Tian does not reach out and is the only one who is the Mei family, Tian will become a fool. If Zheng is driven away, the situation in Shouzhou will change, and the fortune and fortune will be unpredictable, especially when the surrounding situation changes drastically.
After all, my own strength is still a little weaker. If I were really a military clan like the Yuan clan of Caizhou or the Zhu clan of Taining Army, how could the Tian clan be afraid of confronting the Mei clan head-on?
"Ah?! It's gone!"
"Uncle, the water is coming from the north!"
"The fire is very big, it seems to be around the city gate!"
The driver's exclamation attracted Tian Chunrong, Tian Chunwang and others, and hurriedly got out of the carriage and stood on the shaft to check the north.
I saw that the whole north was burning, with red clouds shining brightly, like daylight.
"Why are these guys so careless?" Tian Chunwang cursed: "You can catch fire even next to the Water Gate. What are the people in Wanghuo Tower doing for food?"
Tian Chunrong felt something was wrong. Why did the fire become so big in an instant? Tian Chunlai's words at the banquet also made him feel a little vigilant. Could it be that Zheng's family wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble?
A sense of crisis suddenly lingered in my heart, and Tian Chunrong subconsciously wanted to touch the sword on his waist.
"Uncle, it seems something is wrong. Why did such a big fire suddenly ignite? It's not like water flowing, it's like someone setting fire!"
"Yes, only things like tinea oil and phosphorus powder can cause such a big fire at once. It is impossible for fire to be so powerful!"
Tian Zhi and Wanda Zhide were also aware of the problem and their faces suddenly became nervous.
Tian Chunrong's mind changed rapidly. Chunlai had already returned to Ya Bianbat. He should have seen this and there must be some countermeasures. If the Zheng family really had a job, he would have to attack Umeda's family. Is it possible that Zheng's strength? Unless...
Thinking of this, Tian Chunrong subconsciously shivered. Could it be that Zheng really colluded with outsiders?
"Let's go home quickly. Maybe the water camp is on fire in the north gate. As long as the south gate and Ximen Buying are still there, you are not afraid of anyone making trouble!" Tian Chunrong shouted suddenly, "Get in the car and go!"
The driver rushed to gallop, and the carriage ran on the streets.
Before he arrived at the intersection of Jinluo Street, Tian Chunrong had already realized that something was wrong.
The sound of killing shook the sky, the Tian family mansion was already full of flames, the carriage had not stopped yet, and a group of people had already surrounded him.
Tian Chunrong had already jumped and knocked open the roof of the car and jumped out, "Who dares to attack my Tian family?"
"Oh, I guess this one is Lord Tian Chunrong Tian, the leader of the Tian clan?" A strong man with a wide mouth stepped forward and said loudly: "I am Ding Man, the commander of the Ya Army under Guangxu Shou's defense and guard commander, came to take over the city defense of Shouzhou by the order of the defender and guard commander. The Tian clan of Shouzhou immediately bowed his head to investigate. If there is any violation, he will be killed without mercy!"
Dingman? Guangxi Shou’s defense and guard commander? Tian Chunrong felt that his head was not enough. Who is this?
"Xianzhou?!Xianzhou! Uncle, they are the military forces of Xizhou!" Tian Zhide and Tian Zhihe were also angry with a hint of fear. They gritted their teeth, but their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Xuzhou?! Tian Chunrong felt a heavy hammer in his heart. The trip to Zheng, Xuzhou, Zheng Hong, and Huoqiu? This series of things passed through Tian Chunrong's heart like lightning. So that's it!
Zheng Hong actually went to collude with Jiang Feng, Wenzhou. In just twenty days, these evil men dared to use this poisonous move. At night, attacked Shouchun, or did they have already colluded together?
Under the lights, Tian Chunrong's face turned pale and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
