Chapter 192 Ready to go
The soldier had an anxious look on his face and ran hurriedly towards the camp.
Finally, the soldier ran back to the camp panting.
He gasped for breath and shouted at the top of his lungs: "General, General, this is bad."
At this moment, Li Qing was standing upright in the tent, discussing important military matters with several battle-hardened lieutenants.
His face was serious and solemn, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty.
When he heard the panicked shout of the soldier, Li Qing frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking? Speak slowly."
The soldier tried to calm his rapid breathing, and said anxiously with a trembling voice: "General, the soldier who went to get the news died on the way."
When Li Qing heard this, his expression instantly became serious, and he asked sternly, "What? How did he die? Who killed him?"
The soldier replied nervously, "Reply... Reply General, for some reason, no suspicious person was found, and the soldier did not have any wounds on his body, except for a hole on his forehead."
Li Qing's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "There's a hole in the forehead?"
For a moment, the entire tent fell into deathly silence.
At this time, one of the deputy generals stepped forward and said, "Could it be Mo Tianyu and the others?"
Li Qing thought for a moment, shook his head, and said firmly: "It shouldn't be. He doesn't know that the emperor sent us to attack them. How could he find our people?"
Li Qing still arrogantly believed that Mo Tianyu and the others would not be able to discover their existence.
At this moment, another soldier came running to report, "Report, the granary is on fire."
When Li Qing heard the news that the granary was on fire, his heart sank suddenly. He widened his eyes in shock and shouted, "What?" His face was full of disbelief.
He didn't care about anything else, and immediately took big steps and ran towards the granary eagerly.
His heart was filled with worries, as he knew very well that food and fodder were the most important in marching and fighting. Without food and fodder, the battle would surely be lost.
When Li Qing finally arrived at the granary, the scene before him made him open his eyes wide in shock.
The raging fire was like a ferocious monster, devouring the granary wantonly.
The fire raged, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke filled the air.
Li Qing's footsteps paused involuntarily. He was deeply shocked by the tragic scene.
But soon, he came to his senses, with a look of anger and anxiety on his face.
He shouted loudly and directed the soldiers to put out the fire.
"Hurry, hurry to put out the fire! We can't let the fire continue to spread!" His voice was particularly loud in the noisy fire scene.
Many soldiers were working hard to put out the fire. Some of them were carrying buckets of water, some were holding brooms, and they were busy moving around in the sea of fire. The soldiers' faces were covered with sweat and cigarette ash.
Li Qing stood where he was, his eyes fixed on the soldiers who were busy with their work.
They were all sweating profusely and desperately waving the buckets in their hands, trying to put out the raging flames, but the fire was extremely fierce and showed no signs of abating.
A soldier, while pouring water on the fire with all his strength, responded breathlessly: "General, the fire is too fierce. I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, he was choked by the billowing smoke and started coughing.
Li Qing frowned and asked angrily, "What on earth is going on?"
"General, we don't know either. We didn't find any suspicious people sneaking in."
Hearing this, Li Qing frowned even more tightly, and he asked again: "Then why did the granary catch fire?"
However, just as everyone was lost in thought, another soldier suddenly shouted
"General, look."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger towards a certain location in the sky.
Li Qing quickly looked in the direction he pointed, and saw an unidentified object as black as ink floating in the air.
It sometimes flies high and sometimes falls low, accompanied by a low and strange "buzzing" sound.
"What is this?" Li Qing asked himself in confusion.
This black object instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked up.
Some soldiers stared at the black object out of curiosity.
Others who were less courageous were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they screamed in terror.
"Monster, monster!" a soldier shouted in horror.
Li Qing was immediately furious and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are disturbing the morale of the army before the battle. Come on, drag him away and punish him by military law."
After saying that, several soldiers quickly stepped forward and dragged the man away.
The man kept muttering to himself, his face full of fear.
Li Qing stared at the thing above his head and saw it flying around.
Li Qing shouted, "Come on, shoot it down for me. I want to see what it is."
Immediately, several soldiers drew their bows and arrows and shot at the thing. However, the thing was extremely agile and could cleverly dodge no matter how the soldiers shot.
At this time, someone else shouted: "It flew away, flying towards the direction of Tianzi City."
After hearing these words, everyone finally reacted.
"It's Tianzi City, it's Tianzi City, they released them, it must be them." The soldiers began to discuss.
Only then did Li Qing react and felt a little panicked.
"You guys continue to do your best to rescue the granary." Li Qing ordered.
Afterwards, he and his lieutenants returned to the tent.
Li Qing looked solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Our food and grass have run out. We must send troops immediately, and we must fight quickly and decisively."
The lieutenants nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Li Qing led the soldiers towards Tianzi City. Their steps were firm and hurried, and their hearts were filled with tension and anticipation for the battle.
On Ye Zirou's side, they had also observed the enemy's movements.
"They have started to send out troops." Ye Zirou said.
Mo Tianyu stood beside her, smiled and praised: "Rou'er is smart. She sent out drones to burn their granaries, forcing them to go to war quickly."
Ye Zirou raised her chin slightly and said confidently, "I will beat him to a pulp and report to that dog emperor what will happen if he goes against us."
"That's right. We haven't even looked for him yet, but he came to our door." Long San said indignantly.
"Long San, you are very excited!" Ye Zirou teased with a smile.
Long San smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
Ye Zirou ordered solemnly: "Everyone, take your positions and follow my orders!"
Everyone on the city wall was ready to go.
Holding the most advanced weapons in their hands, they aimed closely at the direction where the enemy was coming, preparing for a fierce battle.
Li Qing led the soldiers and marched towards Tianzi City with great momentum. Their footsteps sounded like thunder on the earth, raising a cloud of dust.
As they gradually approached Tianzi City, Ye Zirou and others on the city wall were on full alert.
Ye Zirou's eyes were stern as she stared closely at the enemy troops that were getting closer and closer.
Mo Tianyu stood beside her, holding his weapon tightly in his hand with a determined look on his face.
Long San was rubbing his hands together, his face full of excitement and nervousness.
