One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 Miracles

The soldiers followed Qin Yi's handwriting on the ice and carved out a thick layer of ice.Then, they poured the baskets of dead birds they brought into the ice ditch, and then filled the ice ditch with water.

Then, Qin Yi began to lay the explosives.

He chose the explosion point, and the soldiers cut open the ice layer at each explosion point again, placed the soil bombs made by Qin Yi into the ice hole, connected the fuzes together, and also dug a series of ice trenches, and put the fuzes together. Put it in the ice ditch.Then fill it with water to submerge the earth bomb and the fuse.

Those soil bombs and fuses are all wrapped with waterproof oil paper. Qin Yi has tested that even if they are soaked in water, the effectiveness will not be affected.

After being busy for almost an hour, the soldiers arranged everything.

Then, Qin Yi led the soldiers away from the "commitment" site, returned to a valley on the edge of Li Mengze, and set up camp to rest.

The next day, Qin Yi only took Xia Houlan and Pei Ji to investigate the crime site again.After a night of severe cold, the places where dead birds and soil bombs were buried were all frozen over.

The ice layer where the dead birds are buried is shallow and can be seen at a glance. The dead birds under the ice layer form the twelve characters "Dai Han, Dang Tu Gao, Tu Gao, Guo Taiye".

The soil bomb and the fuze are buried very deep, but if you look closely, you can still see it vaguely.

"Lord, is this possible? A thoughtful person will know that this is man-made. Moreover, if Mrs. Guo discovers those soil bombs by then, she will be suspicious." Xia Houlan said worriedly.

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "Our purpose is to lure Mrs. Guo here, as long as he comes. Before he can figure out what's going on with these dead birds, I ignite the bomb."

Pei Ji scratched his head and said to Qin Yi: "My lord, although you have pulled the fuse far away, if something unexpected happens then, don't let you fall into the water too. Otherwise, this job is still I'll do it."

Qin Yi patted Pei Ji's shoulder and said, "Is it safe for you to do it? How can I, Qin Yi, let my brother take risks."

When Pei Ji heard this, his nose felt so moved.Xia Houlan was also greatly moved.

Qin Yi said again: "No one of you knows better than me the power of the bomb. Besides, this plan was made by me, and I also know the details involved, so this job can only be done by me. "

This reason was indistinguishable, so Xia Houlan and Pei Ji fell silent.

"Let's go, let's go back. There is no problem here." Qin Yi said.

Pei Ji and Xia Houlan followed Qin Yi back to the camp.

Qin Yi sent scouts to Wu County to inquire about the news.Qin Yi took the main force and hid in that valley, waiting patiently.

………………

Five days later, a scout came back and reported to Qin Yi that Mrs. Guo sent [-] troops to surround Wu County.

Qin Yi asked the scout: "Guo Taike ever launched an attack on Wu County?"

The scout said: "Mrs. Guo just surrounded Wuxian City and ordered the magistrate of Wuxian County to surrender, but did not launch an attack?"

"How did the magistrate of Wu County respond?" Qin Yi asked again.

The scout replied: "Huang Jia, the county magistrate of Wu County, will naturally not surrender. He once sent a cavalry out of the city to break through, presumably to ask for help from neighboring counties, but that cavalry was beaten back to the county by Mrs. Guo. After that, the two sides fell into a confrontation state."

Qin Yi nodded: "Yang Feng's prediction is correct, Mrs. Guo really planned to preserve her strength." Immediately, he asked the scouts again: "What's the situation with Yang Feng's troops?"

The scout shook his head and said: "I'm going to investigate the news in Wu County. There are other brothers investigating Jiexiu County. Jiexiu is farther away than Wu County, so the brothers who go to Jiexiu County to inquire about the news will have to wait a little later. Come back and report."

"Very well, go down and rest."

The scout withdrew, and Qin Yi sent out a second wave of scouts to continue to Wu County to investigate.

Two days later, the scouts who went to Jiexiu County to inquire about news returned.The scout reported to Qin Yi that Yang Feng led two thousand troops, Hu Cai led one thousand five troops, and the soldiers surrounded Jiexiu County.

The county magistrate of Jiexiu ordered people to leave the city with a large amount of wine, meat and grain, and begged Yang Feng and Hu Cai not to attack the county seat.Yang Feng and Hu Cai proposed to negotiate face-to-face with Jiexiu county magistrate.Afterwards, Jiexiu county magistrate went up to the city gate tower, and Yang Feng and Hu Cai also arrived under the city wall to negotiate with Jiexiu county magistrate.

"What was the outcome of the negotiation?" Upon hearing this, Qin Yi asked curiously.

The scout said: "Yang Feng and the county magistrate Jiexiu were talking, but they didn't want Hu Cai to secretly shoot an arrow and shoot the county magistrate Jiexiu to death. Afterwards, the magistrate of Jiexiu County asked Yang Feng and Hu Cai to surrender."

"How could this be the result? Hu Cai's arrow skills are good enough!" Qin Yi said in surprise.

The scout said: "His Majesty, it's not that Hu Cai's arrow skills are good, but that Jiexiu county magistrate is unprepared. The city wall of Jiexiu County is only two feet high. Yang Feng and Hu Cai brought nearly a hundred soldiers, Standing under the city wall and negotiating with Jiexiu county magistrate. The Jiexiu county magistrate is actually standing so straight on the city wall, isn't this a living target for others!"

"What a pig!" Qin Yi was speechless.

Xia Houlan interjected, "It's also because of Hu Cai's despicability. Since it's a negotiation, no matter whether it can be negotiated or not, how can you shoot cold arrows to hurt people? Even if the negotiation fails, just retreat and attack the city. Poor Jiexiu County Order, to be killed by a thief in such a way."

Qin Yi was speechless again.This is the generation gap in thinking!People in this era value integrity. As Xia Houlan said, since it is a negotiation, neither party should use force.No wonder Jiexiu County Magistrate was unprepared.

However, Qin Yi didn't think Hu Cai did anything wrong.The Baibo army is a rebel. You expect them to be honest, which is a bit extravagant.

Besides, in Qin Yi's mind, since it's a war, he should do whatever he can to fight.Jiexiu county magistrate died not unjustly.

"Have Yang Feng and Hu Cai entered Jiexiu County yet?" Qin Yi asked the scout again.

The scout said: "They only sent some soldiers and horses into the city, and the main force is still stationed outside the city."

Qin Yi understood and asked the scouts to retreat.

"Since Yang Feng and Hu Cai have captured Jiexiu County, they will definitely move their troops to Wu County as soon as possible to join forces with Mrs. Guo." Qin Yi said to Xia Houlan and Pei Ji.

Xia Houlan nodded, and said: "If it takes two or three days at least, or four or five days at most, Yang Feng and Hu Cai will definitely move their troops to Wu County."

Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "It seems that I have to rush to Wu County immediately. Ziqing, you stay here and restrain the brothers. Yuan Shao, follow me to Wu County."

Xia Houlan hesitated and said: "Master, only you and Yuan Shao are going to Wu County, isn't there too little manpower? What if Mrs. Guo..."

Qin Yi raised his hand to stop Xia Houlan from continuing, and said with a slight smile, "I'm going to report the letter, not to fight Mrs. Guo. Don't worry, Ziqing, Mrs. Guo won't do anything to me."
