The Era of Generals

Chapter 278   Tune the tiger away from the mountain

"You guys, send someone to inspect the warehouse carefully again!"

The short, fat middle-aged man, surnamed Shen and named Qiao, is a general affiliated to Dongping City, and his current military rank is a school lieutenant.

This granary is jointly owned by the four border cities, and the four cities are also responsible for guarding the granary. Each garrison will be replaced every other month, and the four cities will send defenders to garrison.

It happened to be Shen Qiao's turn this month, but in the end such a thing happened, he himself lamented that the passing years were unfavorable.

But there is no way, since he has encountered it, he has to face it anyway, and he has no thought of running away.

Fortunately, he was only in charge of defending the granary far away from the main battlefield, so it wasn't a big problem.

However, the defensive task that had been very light and easy suddenly went wrong tonight, and the civilians who were unable to protect themselves suddenly rioted at such a time, and Shen Qiao felt a premonition of uneasiness in his heart.

Is it artificial or accidental?

He didn't know, but what he knew was that if it was man-made, the other party's intention to provoke this riot was probably aimed at this granary.

Therefore, even though the riots outside sounded like they were getting worse, Shen Qiao still didn't lose his footing, but first focused on the granary that he was in charge of defending.

In the shadow of the corner above his head, Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly after hearing his order, and his opinion of this short, fat middle-aged man who looked harmless to humans and animals was a little higher in his heart.

At the same time, his desire to kill Shen Qiao was also burning in his heart.

The situation had been stirred up to such a chaotic level by them, that the civilians were provoked to the point of rushing directly into the granary to grab food and clothes, but Shen Qiao still commanded everything calmly. It has to be said that this Human nature is really deep.

Gu Qingfeng and Shen Qiao actually understood very well that although there was a lot of trouble outside, it was caused by people with ulterior motives. If you really want to say how outrageous the civilians are, I'm afraid there is no such thing.

So when there was a lot of trouble, most of them wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to share a little more, and most of them had the mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

Once a fight really started, how many people would really rush into the granary regardless of their lives?

Furthermore, this granary is an important material storage place for the four border cities, and it was built according to city defense standards when it was built. It was not built with a wooden structure as imagined, but with solid blue bricks and large tiles.

Some people will believe that it is not a granary, but a fortress.

Gu Qingfeng and the other five were able to get in. On the one hand, their brother's stealth skills were excellent; on the other hand, it was because Shen Qiao didn't pay attention to the outside situation and neglected to investigate the inside of the granary.

If he really entered the state of combat readiness, Gu Qingfeng believed that even he would not be able to get in so easily, let alone those civilians.

As long as there are swordsmen and shields at the only entrance and exit, supplemented by a large number of spearmen behind, and the arrow holes specially reserved for archers on the upper floor are densely packed, the granary will immediately become a monster that devours people. The civilians who come here are more or less dead.

In this way, why should Shen Qiao be afraid?

As long as a certain number of civilians are killed, those civilians who are provoked by others will probably be frightened out of their courage. Who else would dare to step forward to provoke?

Naturally, this riot will disappear into nothingness. In that case, what else should Shen Qiao worry about?

This is also the reason why he dared to check the situation in the warehouse calmly at this time.

He doesn't care what's going on outside, this granary is his foundation, and he still knows the light and heavy.

So, whether Shen Qiaocha didn't realize that Gu Qingfeng was in the granary, his few instructions, which were light and heavy, dissolved his arrangement invisible.

This made Gu Qingfeng feel very helpless while killing him.

He could only hide his figure a little deeper, waiting for other opportunities.

"grown ups!"

Suddenly, a soldier ran down from the second floor. While running, he lowered his head and shouted anxiously.

this voice...

Gu Qingfeng frowned, he didn't even have to turn his head to look, he could tell that this was his other brother just by the deliberately changed voice.

Chen Xiaolao.

This guy is the youngest and youngest of the five of them, and he usually has a shrewd energy all over his body. When he suddenly appeared at this time, Gu Qingfeng didn't think it would be a reckless move.

So he didn't stop him, and waited for him to rush down from the second floor.

Chen Xiaolao lowered his head and ran staggeringly. He seemed to have suffered serious injuries. As soon as he rushed forward, his knees gave way and he fell directly at Shen Qiao's feet.

Still shouting eagerly in his mouth: "My lord is not good!"

Shen Qiao took a step back, glared at him and scolded, "Why are you so panicked?"

"Up... above, some civilians from Xifeng City somehow climbed onto the roof, lifted the roof tiles and rushed in!"

Chen Xiaolao was lying on the ground, as if he had just experienced a big battle, and blood spewed from his body. After he finally finished speaking, his head tilted and he fell silent.

died?

Shen Qiao frowned, and naturally she couldn't continue asking if she was still waiting to ask. Just as she was about to ask someone to go up to check on Chen Xiaolao's situation, all of a sudden, there was the sound of violent fighting on the second floor, and at the same time there were horrified and angry soldiers. The sound of shouting, beating and killing suddenly seemed to be more chaotic than the civilians outside.

"Go up and have a look!"

Shen Qiao panicked this time.

The granary is the most important thing, and it is also where he can deal with the civilian riots.

What if the granary is breached from the inside...

With more than 400,000 people against thousands of people, no matter how confident Shen Qiao is, no matter how hard-blooded and elite soldiers he has under his command, it will be useless.

Among other things, with such a huge disparity in the number of people, there is no need to fight at all. One person can drown them with a spit star.

The granary must not be lost!

When it came to her fundamentals, Shen Qiao couldn't keep calm anymore, and couldn't care less about Chen Xiaolao's life, so she hurriedly urged her subordinates to go to the second floor to check.

At this time, at least half of the troops in the granary had already been sent out to maintain stability outside, and the rest of the troops were also sent by Shen Qiao to inspect the granary.

You must know that the area of ​​this granary is really not small, and after seven deductions, eight deductions and one removal, another part has to be allocated to guard the gate. At this time, the troops he can use at this time are only a few hundred.

In desperation, Shen Qiao waved all the soldiers who were still near him to the second floor.

Until now, Shen Qiao's only thought was the safety of the granary he was guarding. He knew very well that no matter what, this granary must not be lost!

But what he didn't know was that after he gave this order, Gu Qingfeng, who was just above his head, who had been secretly waiting for an opportunity, suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes!
