Chapter 63 Burning the Company

Chen Li is best at close combat and lurking. As a "wolf pack" warrior, these are his extremely skilled skills.

After he finished his meal, he begged Li Yi: "Mr. Jun. The old man is only alone, and there is no guarantee of eating. Can I cook for you, chop firewood and wash the pot, just try to make a stomachache? Is it okay?"

Seeing that Chen Li was very capable, Li Yi agreed happily and told him to stay in the kitchen and not be allowed to leave. Chen Li agreed repeatedly and stayed in the kitchen camp.

At night, he took advantage of all the soldiers falling asleep and sneaked out of the kitchen like a ghost and rushed to the camp of the war soldiers.

He dared not look around during the day, and now he can carefully inspect Wu Jun's equipment and personnel configuration.

Because these Wu soldiers were so large that they did not take the Han army in the opposite city seriously, so the patrols everywhere were very lazy. As long as they could not see the officers in the patrol camp, they would all gather together to chat quietly.

These soldiers were temporarily pieced together. No matter how they were trained, they were incomparable to modern troops. The rigor of the army organization and discipline were very poor. Chen Li avoided the soldiers' whistles without much effort and wandered in the densely packed battalions.

When he saw rows of large siege machines and hundreds of cannons equipped with them, he felt a chill. Although these siege equipment looked clumsy and primitive, their attack power was still very strong.

Of course, these are just what he saw from film and television dramas. Only in actual combat can one experience the specific power. But looking at these tall wooden guys, I believe they all have amazing destructive power.

Chen Li turned a large area of ​​catapults and cannons, and saw several rows of simple launchers in front of him. Although he didn't know what his name was, he could tell that it was a large sharp arrow that was as thick as a spear next to him. This must be the legendary crossbow that could shoot three thousand steps.

If it is within five hundred steps, its power is enough to penetrate a strong bull. If it is shot on itself, it will not be crushed to pieces.

He slipped to another barracks and saw that there was a team of nearly a thousand people here, a long-barrel shotgun with extremely primitive poles, arranged neatly in the wide tent. Although these things are limited in power, their role must not be underestimated in the current era of cold weapons.

Just looking at these countless armies, you can tell that Zhu Yuanzhang's strength is already great enough. Thinking about the armies in Nanchang City, it is far inferior to these.

Chen Li thought that in ancient times, he always played the trick of burning food and grass in wars. He considered whether he could follow suit. As long as he burned the Wu army's food and grass, he would have no choice but to play with his 300,000 army.

But after searching for him, he didn't see any place to stock up on food and grass. Then he suddenly realized that food and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and the number is huge. It must be hidden in another place and it will never be in the military camp. This is the problem, where can I find it?

Or, catch a soldier and ask.

Just as he was considering where to grab a sentry to interrogate, he suddenly rushed out of the shadow and slashed at him with a knife.

Chen Li missed like lightning, and at the same time stepped forward to him, his arm bent and strangled his neck. Unexpectedly, just as he succeeded, another strong sentry rushed out of the darkness and slashed at his legs with a knife.

The two of them probably wanted to make contributions and secretly took down Chen Li, so they quietly did not shout.

Chen Li took the captive in his hand and turned on the spot. The long knife that had been chopped over immediately slashed on his companion's leg.

The man was shocked and was about to shout, but Chen Li let go of the dead body in his hand, flew out, and hit his throat with one punch.

With a sound of "crack!", the throat of the attacking sentry was interrupted and fell to the ground without even making a scream.

The accident finally happened. After the man fell to the ground, suddenly, a crisp sound of bells rang.

Chen Li did not expect that the wisdom of the ancients was far from that. It turned out that those secret whistle posts were equipped with alarm bells. If they were attacked suddenly, they only needed to trip the alarm bell on the wooden frame beside them in a critical moment.

As long as this sound sounds, everyone will know that enemy soldiers are invading.

Hearing the alarm ringing, the dozing sentries shouted and ran towards them.

For a moment, footsteps and command sounded in a mess, bright torches were lit, and the soldiers resting in the tent around him also responded.

Chen Li hurriedly stripped off his military uniform and helmet, held it in his hand, and hugged his waist and rushed towards the darkness.

Someone shouted, "Hurry, the enemy is in the musket camp."

Someone was still wonderingly saying, "It's not that some idiot accidentally activates the alarm."

Someone else said, "No matter what he is, go and take a look first, otherwise the general will be punished and will not be able to afford to be punished."

After the first soldiers arrived, they shone on the dead bodies on the ground with torches, they became panic and shouted: "The enemy is coming, everyone chase after you."

Chen Li rushed to a hidden place, quickly changed into Wu Jun's clothes, and shouted with a knife in a big way. Unexpectedly, someone shouted: "The spy changed into our army's clothes, please be careful not to let him run away."

It's over, this move seems to be not easy to work.

Chen Li simply held up the torches and lit the barracks one by one. For a moment, fires lit everywhere. Now he was completely exposed and everyone began to chase him.

Chen Li was running so fast that he ran to a place where tincture oil was stored, cut open several wooden barrels with a knife, and lit the tincture oil that was flowing out.

These tincture oils are processed and burn very quickly. In just a moment, hundreds of barrels of tincture oil began to burn, and the whole place turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Now, all the military camps started to move.

Zhu Yuanzhang did have his own skills in governing the army, and putting out the fire. The rest of the people held their swords and guns and kept them in place, which made Chen Li unable to continue to make trouble on a large scale.

Chen Li saw that there was no one beside the large-scale armament, so he grabbed a few buckets of turmeric oil, ran to the front quickly, opened the lid, and poured it on.

Before he could finish, the dense Wu army saw him. Hundreds of soldiers shouted, holding torches, holding swords and guns, and rushed towards him together.

The leader shouted angrily: "I will be rewarded by grabbing this spy, brothers."

Chen Li rushed forward with a knife and slashed and slashed like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Wu soldiers were chopped down.

These people rely on their large numbers of people and are not afraid, and still rushed towards him regardless of their lives.

Seeing that more and more people were surrounding him, Chen Li couldn't finish them even if he let him cut them one by one, so he stopped fighting and threw the torch that fell to the ground at the large-scale weapons poured with tinder oil.

The torches fell, and suddenly the fire began to burn, row after row, and it was not easy to extinguish them. This was enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to work hard.
