The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 192 Chaos in the city
"Is there any way to save him?"

Shen Jun had a good impression of that young man. His father was a gambler who lost everything and sold him into a gambling house as a slave.

It's a poor man.

"It's a bit difficult. I just heard from the servants of Zhang's mansion that if it wasn't for the arson incident, that little boy would have been tortured to death." Shi Qian shook his head, expressing his helplessness.

"No, I must save him, I hope you can help me." Shen Jun said anxiously.

Shi Qian was a little embarrassed. It would be too risky to save that little boy, and it was too uneconomical.

"If you're willing to help me, I can help you match up with Sister Li, how about that?" Shen Jun said meaningfully.

"Matching?" Shi Qian's eyes widened, with an expression of how do you know, "Matching what?"

"Hey, don't pretend. I can see what you mean to Sister Li. How about it? Can you help?" Shen Jun smiled.

"this……."

Shi Qian rolled his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hurry up, otherwise he will really die." Shen Jun urged.

"Okay, I'll help you, don't forget your promise." Shi Qian thought for a while, and finally made a decision.

"Great, what's your plan?" Shen Jun said happily.

Shi Qian chuckled, "Shanren has his own tricks, go back to the intelligence station and wait."

Dacheng, Zhang Tianyuan Mansion.

Because Ji Feng was injured, the female doctor bandaged her and was resting on the bed.

The thug came back from the outside, bowed at the head of the bed and said, "Ma'am, I found out from the investigation, not only our gambling house, but also many places in the city have been flooded, it should be done on purpose by someone, the general is now outside Leading people to put out the fire."

Just as Ji Feng wanted to get up, he tore open the wound, and said with a hint of ferocity on his face: "What's the matter with us, I'll ask you if there's anything wrong with our casino?"

"This...gambling shop." The thug wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It has been burned up."

"What?" Ji Feng was shocked, his hard work was ruined, and he felt angry, "Go, pull that lowly slave over to feed the dog."

I don't know who did it, so I can only vent all my anger on Zinu.

"Here." The thug bowed and nodded, then backed away.

If you stay in this room for a while, you will feel very uncomfortable. After going out, the thug shook his head, "It's really hard to serve."

The thugs walked to the backyard where Zinu was imprisoned, to carry out his wife's order.

But when they arrived in the backyard, they found the two guards guarding the gate lying on the ground.

The thug was shocked immediately, and hurriedly opened the room to check, only to find that there was only a bundle of tied rope left on the ground, and he ran away.

"It's not good, it's not good, someone took him away." The thugs ran out immediately, yelling.

Not only the entire Zhang Mansion was in chaos, but the entire Dacheng City was also in chaos.

Dacheng, General's Mansion.

"What's going on? Look at the chaos in the city?" the guard Xiong Hui said angrily.

Lieutenant General Zhang Tianyuan bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "The last general has sent troops to control the scene, there will be no chaos, general, please rest assured."

Xiong Hui frowned, walking back and forth in a suit of armor.

After walking a few steps, he stopped, looked at Zhang Tianyuan, and said solemnly, "Do you feel that something is not normal in the city today?"

Zhang Tianyuan nodded, "The last general also thinks it's abnormal, but he can't tell. It's really a coincidence that so many places are flooded at the same time. Someone must have done it deliberately, but I don't know what their purpose is and what it does to them. benefit?"

"Could it be that you just wanted to burn a place, and burned such a place to deceive people?" Xiong Hui was a little uncertain.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said: "It's very possible, but if these places are burned, there are gambling houses, taverns and granaries, but the granaries in our army are fine, and they are guarded by heavy troops. Even if the granaries in the city are burned, there is still enough food left of."

Xiong Hui had an ominous premonition, "Quickly send troops to investigate and control the city. I'm worried that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Here."

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and cupped his hands.

At this time.

A messenger hurried in from the outside, knelt on one knee and said: "Report to the general, the people in the city have started to riot, rioting in the street, and they all went to the barn in the army."

"what?"

Xiong Hui and Zhang Tianyuan were shocked, the most worrying thing still happened.

Dacheng began to be in chaos.

Many people in the city listened to the people marching on the street shouting, "The food has been burned. If you don't want to starve to death, go to the garrison granary and ask for food."

Even if some people still have some stock in their homes, how many days can they eat?
Driven by this panic, tens of thousands of people in the city poured into the streets and were led by thoughtful people to the granary of the city's defenders.

Walking in the front are Wu Fan and Jiang Chuan.

Li Erni was sitting alone on the second floor of a tavern drinking, looking at the situation on the street, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Everything is under control.

First set fire to several buildings in the city to disturb people's hearts, and then spread rumors to the city.

In the end, there was an organized rally and parade, and the panicked people were organized to go to the granary of the defenders to grab food.

It depends on how the Dacheng defenders deal with it.

Although the people in the city are used in this way, there may be many casualties in the end, but this is war.

The purpose of war is to win, otherwise there is nothing.

"Master Li, now that the plan has been successfully carried out, what instructions do you have next?" A secret agent stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"According to the plan, the guard will respond to Xiong Hui. If he sends troops to suppress strongly, inform Jiang Chuan and Wu Fan to pay attention to safety and withdraw immediately." Li Erni said lightly.

"Here."

The spy bowed his hand and backed away.

In fact, Su Lin didn't want to cause too many casualties to the people in the city, after all, her goal was to occupy the city.

If the civilian casualties are serious, the meaning of the occupation is not great.

After all, the most important thing for development is population.

But Li Erni doesn't care about that, her goal is to win.

The camp of the defenders of Dacheng.

The front rows of defenders were fully armed and on guard to prevent the mob from doing any bad things.

"Our food has been burned. We want to survive. We hope the general will give us some food. Everyone agrees." Wu Fan, the leader, raised his fist and shouted.

"Yes, we're going to live."

Jiang Chuan and the spies scattered in the crowd responded one after another.

After that, the whole crowd began to show a herd effect, shouting one after another.

There were huge crowds of people, except for the children who did not follow, most of the people in the city followed, including the elderly.

They felt that the people were outnumbered, and the defenders of the city did not dare to do anything to them.

Followed here, hoping to grab more food, otherwise the food will run out in a few days.

At this time, the defenders made way for a passage in the middle.

With a dark face, Xiong Hui walked over in brown leather boots, came to the front of the defenders, and looked at the gathered people in the city.

I was a little flustered, so many people gathered together in such a short time.

It was definitely premeditated and organized, otherwise how could such a coincidence happen?

"Fellow folks, this is a military camp. I hope everyone will go back separately, otherwise it will be a military law." Xiong Hui said in a deep voice.

The tone cannot be intense, and it must also make them fearful.

He wants to deal with this matter gently, if it is too drastic, the consequences will be disastrous.

When the people saw General Xiong coming, they were unwilling to confront the soldiers head-on, and some people suddenly wanted to give up.

When Jiang Chuan saw something was wrong, he shouted in the crowd: "No, I have no food at home. I hope the general can save us, otherwise we will starve to death if we go back."

"Yes, yes, the granary and grain store in the city were killed, and the grain at home could not last for a few days. I hope the general can open the granary to release the grain."

"I hope the general can open a warehouse to store grain."

As soon as Jiang Chuan started, the people around him booed.

Xiong Hui frowned, and pressed his hand on the handle of the long sword at his waist, his eyes gleamed coldly.
