Chapter 173 The Arsonist
Chapter 173 The Arsonist
The method of spreading kerosene has been simulated long ago.
After Lin Feng rushed into the food and grass camp, he unsealed the kerosene tank and held the tank upside down in his hand.
They circled around and poured kerosene on the food carts.
The guards also dispersed and galloped on their horses at high speed.
The ten guards following at the end are responsible for lighting the fire.
They used burning torches to set fire to any grain carts that had oil spilled in front of them.
The Tatars were originally confused by the attack by Wei Bao and others.
Suddenly, he saw flames coming out of the food camp and was immediately shocked.
He rushed over here shouting.
Lin Feng's warhorse was good, and it was very fast whether it was circling or flying over the food cart.
He held the oil can in his left hand and pulled out the long knife with his right hand.
Any Tartar who rushed to intercept him was beheaded by him with one sword.
Soon, he had spilled all the kerosene in the four cans.
At this time, the Tatars gathered in greater and greater numbers.
Lin Feng held a knife in his right hand and a crossbow in his left hand, as if he was in an empty space.
The guards behind him gradually couldn't keep up with his speed and then dispersed.
Fortunately, the Tatars did not try their best to chase these people, and a large number of them were busy putting out the fire.
Food and fodder are the most important supplies.
I saw thick smoke billowing from the food carts throughout the camp, and faint flames could be seen.
The Tartar leader stamped his feet in anxiety.
He kept shouting "Fire put out!"
The wind is strong in the wild, the food and grass are flammable, and there is also the power of kerosene.
Where it can be easily extinguished.
At this time, Lin Feng had already rushed from one end of the camp to the other.
Seeing that there was no one behind him, he turned his horse around and rushed in again.
He was going to gather his guards and start running away.
Fan Jinsong was originally following Lin Feng, but his horse was slow and he fell behind.
But the ten guards he led were in sync with him.
At this point, they were surrounded.
Xie Chong was also not having a good time, as countless Tartars surrounded him from all sides.
Although they shot down countless people with crossbows, the Tatars still continued to advance desperately.
Not only were our food supplies burned, but the enemy also escaped.
They wouldn't have to live.
More than thirty people were surrounded in the smoke-filled food and grass camp and were unable to break out.
Seeing that the Tartars were increasing in number, a dozen people fought hard, with despair in their eyes.
Just as everyone was looking at the countless ferocious Tartars in front of them and feeling despair.
Suddenly, I found a group of Tartars dodging to the side in a panic.
A man riding a white horse rushed into the Tatar group like a hurricane.
The man on horseback held a long sword in his hand, slashing left and right, as if he was in an empty space, and no one who stood in his way could stop him.
Lin Feng, covered in blood, broke through the Tartar encirclement and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, follow me closely, let's rush out!"
All the guards were cheered up and immediately became as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They rushed towards the gap in a swarm.
Lin Feng turned his horse around, chopped down two Tartars casually, and kicked the horse in the belly.
The war horses trampled around with their hooves, kicking down several Tartars.
In the eyes of the guards, Lin Feng, like a god of war, took the lead and killed.
Dozens of guards followed closely behind him, hacking and slashing with all their might.
The Tatars suffered from the lack of war horses. In a camp filled with food and fodder carts, they could not have too many war horses running.
Therefore, the Tartars did not bother to get their horses, but surrounded them with their weapons in hand.
Most of the Tartars went to fetch water to put out the fire, and some were led away by Wei Bao and Lin Qiaomei.
Soon, Lin Feng and his guards rushed out of the Tatar camp.
The Tatars on the periphery were easily defeated by them.
Rushed all the way into the dark night.
However, a cavalry of a hundred men soon rushed out of the Tartar camp and chased in the direction where Lin Feng disappeared.
The remaining Tartar soldiers nervously passed around buckets of water that had been stored long ago.
Unfortunately, the weather is dry, the wind is strong and the oil is abundant.
Buckets of water alone won't put out a fire.
They worked until dawn, and of the more than 80 carts of food and fodder, only about 20 were spared from the fire.
The Tartar leader was so dejected that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He gathered his three hundred men, left the camp, and followed the traces of last night to chase after them.
The only thing we can do now is to catch the arsonist, which may alleviate some of his guilt.
Lin Feng led everyone running wildly, not knowing north from south.
It would be best to get rid of the Tartar cavalry under the cover of night.
If it were to be daybreak, the only one that could escape the pursuit would probably be Lin Feng's warhorse.
These days, since we started fighting with the Tartars, we have always made plans before taking action.
I'm good at fighting, and I've never been so embarrassed before.
Lin Feng felt that the Tatar cavalry behind him was like a dog-skin plaster and he couldn't get rid of it.
The rapid sound of horse hooves, neither too far nor too near, was beating at their nerves from behind.
These Tatar knights not only run fast, but also have great endurance.
He saw the warhorse under him spewing out long white smoke from its nose.
Obviously tired.
Such a good horse was actually tired by the Tartars, not to mention the guards behind Lin Feng.
When the sky brightened, Lin Feng turned his head and saw the Tatar troops in the distance, less than two miles away.
Looking ahead, there is an endless field without even an obstacle.
After running for another quarter of an hour, some of the guards began to fall behind.
After running for a distance, Lin Feng found that there were only thirteen or fourteen riders behind him, forming a long and sparse team.
We can't run anymore. If we run again, the Tartars will catch up with us and defeat us one by one.
Lin Feng raised his hand and shouted, "Stop, form a formation to resist the enemy."
The guards behind him had already run so hard that they were in a daze. When they heard the order, they reined in their horses and panted heavily.
Lin Feng waved his hands and greeted.
"Come on, arrow formation, to my wings."
There is no time for nonsense, the Tartars are still behind us.
Forcing themselves to stay alert, the guards urged their horses to come to both sides of Lin Feng and formed an arrow formation.
"Brothers, if we can disperse the Tartars, we will survive."
Lin Feng encouraged them.
But the dozen or so guards were trembling even with their knives in their hands.
It consumes too much physical energy.
Each of them looked somewhat tragic.
Lin Feng had no other choice. He fought for most of the night, but even the strongest man could not withstand it.
When everyone was feeling desperate, they suddenly discovered that the Tatar cavalry following far behind them had also stopped advancing.
The two sides were facing each other, more than a mile apart.
Xie Zhong immediately stood beside Lin Feng, looking at the Tartar in confusion.
"General, what are they going to do?"
Lin Feng glanced at him and didn't recognize who he was.
A face covered in black dust.
This is a typical arsonist.
Of course, he was the main arsonist.
"Who knows what they're going to do, probably a full-scale attack."
"We're not running anymore?"
"You're all so shaky, you might as well fight for your lives."
Another guard gasped.
"The horse is not good, but the man is OK."
Xie Zhong scolded, "Nonsense, try running a few steps while carrying the horse."
The guard scratched his head and laughed.
"Carrying a horse? I can't even take one step, let alone two."
The other guards also laughed.
Lin Feng admired their relaxed attitude. They could even make a joke in the face of life and death.
"Eat something, drink some water, and wait for them to come up."
