East Factory Governor

Chapter 540 Counted?
Qin Shuhuai and the others came to an alley, and under the cover of night, they quietly climbed up to the roof, and then sneaked quietly.

After walking about three roofs, they saw a large courtyard below.This yard is surprisingly large, probably covering an area of ​​at least three acres!There are many people guarding inside and outside the yard.These people did not wear military armor, but wore clothes similar to servants, presumably trying to deceive people, so that people would not see that this was the granary of the army.

There are four big houses on the east and west sides of the yard.According to the information of the White Lotus Sect, these four houses are the granaries of Gao Yingxiang's department, and they are full of grain.

At this time, Meng Wei said in a low voice, "No, these four big houses can hold a thousand dans of grain at most, is that enough for a grain depot?"

These words reminded Qin Shuhuai.He calculated in his mind that a load of grain in the Ming Dynasty was about 120 catties.Then one thousand loads is about 12 catties.If Bank A and Bank B have the same amount of grain, then the two grain stores add up to only 24 catties.

There are more than 4 soldiers in Shangluo City. Under normal circumstances, according to the consumption of one catty per person per day, 24 catties of grain would be enough for six days. Could it be that Gao Yingxiang only stored such a small amount of grain in his old nest?If that's all there is to it, why didn't he collect food in the city knowing that the imperial army was about to besiege the city?
It's kind of illogical.

At this time, Meng Hu said, "Is the B-character grain depot relatively large? Most of them are stored there?"

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while and said, "There is this possibility. However, there is another possibility, that is, there is a large cellar under the grain storehouse, where more grain should be stored. As for the above, it is just a deception .”

Meng Wei nodded and said, "Master Hou is right. If this is the case, then our plan will have to be changed."

Their original plan was to break the roof and sprinkle fire oil, and then set fire to escape.But since I suspect that there is a cellar here, I have to go in and look for it.

Qin Shuhuai observed, there were 30 or [-] guards in the courtyard, and there were only [-] to [-] people conducting regular patrols outside. The number of people was not too many. It should be that Gao Yingxiang deliberately did not send more people for the sake of concealment.

The three of them planned for a while, and then started immediately.

They first put the baskets filled with kerosene bottles on the roof, and then Qin Shuhuai jumped into the courtyard, drew out the Yitian sword and began to kill the guards in the courtyard.

As soon as Qin Shuhuai appeared, the guards in the yard immediately shouted, and soon the soldiers from outside also rushed in and surrounded him.However, these people are totally vulnerable in front of Qin Shuhuai, and the only thing they can do is to pester him.

Qin Shuhuai's long sword fluttered, and the sword was like lightning, drawing out a series of white drills, each of which took away at least one rogue.However, some bandits took advantage of his unpreparedness and set off a red firework.

Undoubtedly, this naturally informed the army in the city that the Jiazi library had been attacked.

While Qin Shuhuai was fighting with the rogues in the yard, Meng Wei also stepped on the roof and entered the warehouse.Unexpectedly, there was nothing in the warehouse, but hundreds of thieves were ambushed!
Meng Wei's heart skipped a beat: Was it tricked?
Before he had time to think, facing the rogues swarming up, he had no choice but to draw out his long knife and fight for a while first.However, the space in the room was too small, and there were hundreds of rogues, and it was crowded. It was a bit obstructive for him to perform the saber technique, so he was very passive for a while.

Qin Shuhuai was also startled when he heard the sound of fighting coming from the room, and asked, "Old Meng, how is the situation in the room?"

Meng Wei shouted, "Master Hou, there is no food in the house, only ambushes!"

Standing on the roof, Meng Hu saw that Meng Wei had started to do it, and immediately yelled, "Brother, I'm coming!"

But Qin Shuhuai yelled, "Meng Hu, smash the kerosene and burn them to death!"

When Meng Hu heard Qin Shuhuai's order to burn down the house, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, it's only a waste of kerosene to burn these empty granaries?However, he didn't dare to disobey Qin Shuhuai's order, so he responded immediately, "Okay!"

So he immediately took out bottles filled with kerosene one by one from his pocket, and smashed them into the house.When he smashed it, he also used his internal strength, and many bottles hit the rogues' heads like bullets, but all the rogues hit were bleeding, dizzy, and some even passed out directly.

When the rogues in the house heard that the other party was going to burn the house down, how could they dare to fight?A group of people suddenly ran towards the door and windows like headless chickens. The first ones were lucky, and they all got out, but the ones behind were not right. Everyone crowded together to block the doors and windows, and no one could get out.But Meng Wei was more relieved, he slashed at these people, and took more than a dozen heads in a short while.

A few rogues with good kung fu wanted to jump out from the roof, but Meng Hu drew his sword when he saw it, and "picked up" many heads.

Meng Hu threw more than 20 kerosene bottles into the room and felt that it was almost done, so he immediately said to Meng Wei, "Brother, come up quickly, I want to roast suckling pig!"

Meng Wei let out a long cry, exerted force on his feet, and immediately leaped to the roof.

Meng Hu immediately took out the fire folder, lit a bunch of papers, and threw them into the room.

"boom!"

The fire exploded in an instant, and there were twenty or thirty rogues inside who hadn't come out, and they screamed in the flames.

Afterwards, Meng Hu was responsible for transferring the remaining kerosene to a safe place, while Meng Wei went down to help Qin Shuhuai.

More and more rogue soldiers poured in from the door, and the ambush soldiers in the other three rooms were probably afraid that the other party would come to burn the house again, so they simply killed them. There were as many as 600 rogue soldiers in the yard at once.Fortunately, the courtyard is surprisingly large and can accommodate so many people.

Although Qin Shuhuai and Meng Hu were both top players, they couldn't stand such a style of play. Sooner or later, they would run out of energy and stamina.

Meng Wei said, "Master Hou, shall we go first?"

However, Qin Shuhuai pointed to a big house that was not on fire and said, "Did you see that house, please help me guard the door for a while, I'll go in and have a look."

Meng Wei was taken aback, "What?"

But Qin Shuhuai's figure flashed, first took a burning wooden board from the burning room as a torch, and then flashed into the big room.

Meng Wei saw it, so he had no choice but to follow Qin Shuhuai's instructions, and went to the door of the big house, fighting four or five hundred bandits with his own strength.At this time, Meng Hu also put away the basket containing kerosene, and immediately jumped down to help Meng Wei.

One guards the door and the other guards the window, fighting fiercely with a group of rogues.Facing so many rogues, it was difficult for the two to cope.Fortunately, the level of these rogue bandits is incomparable to that of the Qing army in Luowenyu, so they can still persist for a while.However, some of the rogues were already calling for the crossbowmen. If the crossbowmen came, the two of them would definitely be unable to stand up.

Therefore, they didn't have much time to buy Qin Shuhuai.
