After patrolling for a while, the patrol team returned to the campfire and sat down. The officers and soldiers passed the time chatting around the campfire.

One person looked up at the sky, yawned, and said, "Is it going to be dawn soon?"

Others looked up at the sky and casually replied, "It'll be soon."

Then there was nothing left to say.

It was very quiet all around, except for the slight crackling sound of the wood in the campfire from time to time.

"There's a fire! There's a fire!" An anxious shout suddenly sounded.

The night watchmen were startled and hurriedly raised their heads to look. The moment they raised their heads, their eyes were filled with blazing firelight. The entire camp was filled with bright lights of fire everywhere.

I don't know if there were dozens or hundreds of fire heads spreading violently in all directions, and the entire camp seemed to have become a sea of ​​fire.

Most of the tents were set on fire. Military tents coated with tung oil were the best flammable materials. When the fire was stuck on them, with a bang, the entire tent turned into a big torch.

The sleeping soldiers were awakened from their sleep. When they opened their eyes, they saw the fire above their heads. The tent was burned to pieces and the fire was falling straight down. The officers and soldiers who were caught off guard were burned and screamed. They were in a panic.

, most people had no time to put on their clothes and hurriedly ran out naked.

At this time, the night watchman was faced with the fire that suddenly spread throughout the camp. They were dumbfounded on the spot. There were fires everywhere. He didn't know where to go to put out the fire.

After a while, the commander of the camp realized what he was doing and quickly called for help.

Caught off guard, only a small number of night watchmen still maintained basic order.

A night watch soldier rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire with a gun. He had just lifted a bundle of burning firewood away from the tent. No matter what, the fleeing soldier rushed up in a panic and was hit by the collision. The bundle of firewood he had just picked up fell down.

, was knocked farther away, spreading the fire even more.

In this way, the few guards who want to put out the fire can only play a limited role in the face of the panic and commotion of the crowd.

The officer and general in the camp here was awakened from his sleep. When he heard the noise outside, his heart sank and he hurried out of the tent.

When they got out of the tent and saw the fleeing figures and the raging fire, the officers and generals felt a thump in their hearts and their hearts dropped to the core.

Fortunately, this man had been in the army for a long time and would not panic. The officer and general immediately calmed down. He shouted angrily, rushed forward to grab a panicked soldier, and angrily shouted, "You are so panicked! Stop! Who dares to walk around?"

,Kill without mercy!”

When people are in panic, having the backbone of the army stand up and stabilize the morale of the army is still effective.

Several nearby soldiers saw the general coming out. They were frightened by the general's order and temporarily stopped running away, preparing to listen to the general's next order.

The commander opened his mouth and was about to order people to gather to put out the fire. At this moment, screams suddenly started.

"Run quickly! The fire is too big and we can't save it!"

A panicked scream came from nowhere.

"Ah! You bitch! Don't block the road!"

"Come on, hurry up! If you don't walk, you can't walk! Run!"

Scolds and exclamations followed one after another.

The already panicked soldiers were in this area, fearing that they would be burned to death if they stayed any longer. Immediately, everyone stopped putting out the fire and hurriedly ran out.

The few people who were stopped by the officers and generals ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Listening to the noisy voices and looking at the raging fire, the officers and soldiers looked gloomy. Just when he was hesitating whether to give the order again, "Go, go! Leave it alone! It can't be saved! It's burning! Let's go."

!”

A scream came from nowhere, immediately disturbing the hesitant mood of the officers and generals.

Already panicking, being frightened and disturbed by this, the officers and generals had no time to judge. He really thought that the fire was out of control, so he gave up on putting out the fire and hurriedly fled outside.

At this point, the officers and soldiers lost all possibility of saving the camp.

The entire camp of officers and soldiers abandoned the burning camp and rushed out. After a while, all the people were gone.

Outside the camp, the disheveled soldiers stood in panic in the cold night, helplessly watching the fire in the camp getting bigger and bigger. Eventually, the fire spread to the entire camp and burned down the walls of the camp.

Woke up.

A small group of people took advantage of the panic and ran out of the camp and fled south.

After running for a while, the person running in front stopped.

In the darkness, unable to see each other clearly, one person grabbed the hammer in his hand and coldly asked the person behind him, "Why are you following us?"

The people behind were stunned and asked breathlessly, "Why are you running?"

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. In this silence, murderous intent was hidden. In the invisible darkness, many people clenched their hammers. Waiting for the centurion's order, they rushed over and knocked people to the ground.

The centurion was silent for a moment and said, "We are running home. You go your own way. Don't follow me."

"Oh! Let's go first!" The officers, soldiers and soldiers who were following were deceived and hurriedly ran forward.

After shaking off his tail, the centurion asked quietly, "Is that enough for all of us?"

"enough."

"That's enough."

"Team A, are everyone here?"

"exist!"

"exist!"

"Team B?"

"exist!"

…

In the darkness, all the voices reporting were with Luoyang accents, without exception.

After a quick exchange, all thirteen people who attacked the camp were present. The group of culprits who burned down the army camp fled in a hurry after counting their number.

The plan to attack the camp was still not fully thought out, and a group of officers and soldiers had just followed them out of nowhere. If we take advantage of this, and deliberately encourage people to escape in the dark night when it is difficult to see people clearly, all of a sudden

He was able to deceive half a battalion of officers and soldiers into deserters.

——

The fire in the entire army camp was at its peak, and the monstrous fire lit up the sky in the darkness. The firelight illuminated every face that was either panicked or confused.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Losing the camp in a fire is a serious crime that cannot be blamed for death. The officers and generals were furious and summoned the army commander to question him.

The leader of the team was half a centenarian. After being escorted, the old man knelt down and cried, banging his head and begging for mercy. "General, I have told you every day to watch the fire, watch the fire, but I don't dare even once."

I'm lazy, I really don't know how this fire can still burn.

General, spare your life! I am not afraid of death, but I still have a seventy-year-old mother at home. If I die, my mother will be helpless!

General, spare a certain life! Spare a certain life!"

The furious officer and general's sword-holding hands creaked loudly. Facing the wailing and pleading old soldier, his expression gradually softened, "That's all." The officer and army general sighed, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

Looking at the burning camp, the generals of the army and the army gave a wry smile, "The fire was caused by the incompetence of a certain camp guard. It has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, he looked at everyone with a sharp look and warned seriously, "If I die, you can save yourself by putting all the blame on me."

After saying that, he put the sword on his neck violently and shouted, "I have betrayed General Huangfu's trust, and I will die now to apologize!"

"No general!"

"General, don't do this!"

When the soldiers saw that the general was about to commit suicide, a group of soldiers rushed up and snatched his sword.

The officers and generals were furious and wanted to take back the sword, but the soldiers refused to give it back.

The angry generals walked towards the sea of ​​fire angrily, intending to burn themselves to death in the fire.

The soldiers fell to their knees and tried to persuade each other.

"General, the stronghold is gone. Let's all contribute money and effort to build it again.

If we are to say we are guilty, we are all guilty, how can we let the general bear the responsibility alone?"

"Yes, General, don't be afraid, let's just build the camp again!"

"The general didn't set the fire, he accidentally set it off. It's a natural disaster! Even if the court comes to ask, we have a reason!"

…

The officers and generals were good people, and the soldiers tried hard to persuade them, and many even expressed their willingness to share the blame.

Looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, the officer and general smiled bitterly. He knew very well that the crime of losing the stronghold could not be excused by a natural disaster.

Everyone tried to persuade them not to seek death any more. The officers and soldiers just said in their hearts. He dispersed the crowd. Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he sat down cross-legged weakly and stared blankly at the blazing fire in the camp.

daze.

The officers and generals have been caught in the scheme and don't even know it yet.

In fact, when the fire was noticed, although there were fires everywhere in the camp and although there were people in chaos, if rescuers could be rescued immediately at that time, the camp could be saved.
