Cannon Fodder: Forced Counterattack

Jing Zi scolded the Chen family a lot, but she could only vent her anger. In recent days, they have lost a lot of weight due to repeated battles. In the past, girls like Jing Xiang were rarely used on the battlefield, but now This form doesn't care about men and women anymore, anyone who can contribute should act, the children led by Jing Fengzhuo who are guarding the town have now sent some to support.

A few people hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, and it was not like they could chat leisurely after a meal like in the past, discussing tomorrow's arrangements and battle plans. They were about to go back to their respective camps, but hurried footsteps came from outside the door With a voice, a Jing family disciple came in anxiously, panting heavily, "Young Patriarch, something... something happened!"

Ao Ran hurriedly brought him a glass of water, and the man drank it all in one gulp, and said anxiously, "The village on the north side of the town is on fire. It has... burned dozens of houses in a row. The fire... the fire is now uncontrollable!"

Several people's expressions suddenly changed.

Jing Zi grabbed the man by the collar, "Why didn't you find out sooner? What about the inspector? How about the casualties?"

The disciple's voice trembled, and he replied, "The casualties are not clear yet, but according to the news from the city, I'm afraid... I'm afraid there are quite a few."

Jing Fan pulled Jing Zi away with a low voice, "Go and see the situation first."

None of them could sit still, and followed Jing Fan to Jing Weihua's camp. There were quite a few people who came. Everyone was at their wits' end because of foreign troubles, but now they have internal worries. This sudden fire, it is inevitable that they will not let them go. People are suspicious.

Seeing that there were a lot of people coming, Jing Weihua was not in the tent, so he directly asked someone to move a grand teacher's chair to sit outside. After Jing Fan arrived, Jing Weihua's eyelids only lifted up. This strong and strong ancestor is now Looking old, he clenched his hands on the handle of the chair, looked at an elder beside him and said, "Hongyang, tell everyone to clean up tonight, and return to the city before sunset tomorrow."

The elder looked confused, and forgot to reply for a while, Jing Weihua didn't wait for his reply, turned to look at Jing Fan and said, "Jing Fan, bring some people back now, go to put out the fire first."

Jing Fan didn't argue, and nodded his head in response.

The elder who had just been called suddenly reacted and said urgently, "Old Ancestor, can't you hold on here? If you really retreat, it's tantamount to giving up the last barrier to the Chen family, fire!" Can't we let the people in the city deploy manpower to rescue them first?"

Jing Weihua waved his hands, a bit weak, but he is now the pillar of the Jing family, so he must not be discouraged, and he pulled himself together, explaining: "It's hard to hold on now, retreat now, and there will be fewer casualties. There are not many people, and now there is a mistake in one place, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of other places. If we transfer people away, it is tantamount to giving others a greater loophole to take advantage of. When the time comes to save the east or the west? Nowadays, I can only wait to go back and strengthen my defenses."

The elder finally sighed after a long while, and there was no further refute, so what if he didn't want to retreat, the old ancestor was right, the current situation is no longer what they want to do.

The situation was urgent, Jing Fan led thousands of people, and drove fast all the way, but fortunately they are not far from the north city gate now - I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune.

Just after entering the city, the elder guarding the city, named Jing Guangzhi, came over in a hurry, without saying any words of greeting, he said directly, "Hurry over first, the fire is really difficult to control, the place where the fire broke out is far away from the river, and the people's homes nearby The water is all exhausted, and it is only a drop in the bucket, and although there are many people around to help, they are all ordinary people, and it is useless to go back and forth."

Jing Fan nodded to show that he knew, and ordered, "Go to the river first, and borrow more buckets and rack carts on the way."

Everyone responded and hurried away, Jing Fan and Ao Ran asked the elder gatekeeper about the situation while they were walking, Jing Guangzhi said, "I just reported that there were a lot of casualties, the area is close to a forest, and many people's houses are It was built with wood from nearby materials, and it is easy to burn if there is a fire, and many people have been injured when it is discovered.”

Jing Xiang asked, "How did you find out so late?"

"It's time for dinner, and everyone is in the house. The fire came in from outside the door. When you react, it's basically already on fire. Don't talk about putting out the fire, it's good to be able to escape. .”

Jing Xiang frowned, "Has the cause of the fire been found?"

Jing Guangzhi replied, "Those houses that caught fire had oil stains outside their doors."

Jing Zi gritted his teeth bitterly, "In this case, someone can only set the fire on purpose."

"Yes." Jing Guangzhi's voice was full of anger, "Moreover, he burned more than a dozen families, and his vicious thoughts are frightening. Many families have children, and even the children are not spared. It is simply ignorant of human nature."

Several people were silent, sadness and anger permeated among them, and the horseshoes under their feet galloped out.

When they arrived at the place where the fire broke out, several people were shocked. In this still [-]% cold weather, they could all feel the heat blowing against their faces. After a while, they sweated, and the crying and shouting made people feel sick. Worried, no wonder they need their support, such a fire, half the sky is red, it is really difficult to control, relying on a few patrols and ordinary people is really weak.

The arsonist really had a scheming plan. He chose a place where the fire started. When the water came, the fire had spread, and the surrounding houses had been destroyed.

It is obviously difficult to rely on them with such a fire, several patrols braved the scorching heat right in front of their faces, and poured buckets up one after another.

In such a hurry, a few people didn't talk nonsense, rolled up their sleeves, grabbed a bucket and rushed towards the fire. The fire was so fierce that ordinary people could no longer approach, so they had to go to pull water. After all, there are so many people and strength, and people keep pushing carts over .

When Jing Zi saw the water jar approaching, he threw the bucket in his hand, picked up a tall jar with a ten-year-old child, and put it on his shoulders. The two middle-aged men pushing the cart exclaimed, the big water Usually they need two people to barely move the altar, but this young man lifted it with ease, and even flew away directly, showing his immense strength.

Jing Zi carried the water altar, leaped, flew straight up to the height of the room, poured a jar of water down, and immediately extinguished a large area, the efficiency was much higher than bucket by bucket, Ao Ran and the others also rushed Following suit, the men who came saw Jingxiang, a little girl who was so tough, and cast adoring eyes, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Jing Zi finished pouring out the second altar of water, but saw them standing there stupidly, shouting, "Hurry up and pull the water! Otherwise, it will start burning again later, and the water will be wasted."

Several people came back to their senses after being yelled at, and hurriedly pushed the car and ran away.

Now the most important thing is speed, if it is extinguished as soon as possible, it will be alive, and if it is delayed for a while, it will be ignited again. Fortunately, there is no wind today, otherwise it will not be saved if it is desperate.

A few people like this, the effect is remarkable, but it is also waste water, and the people will not be able to supply it soon. Fortunately, before they are in a hurry, the people brought back by Jing Fan have already brought dozens of carts of water, and the water containers are large and small. There are all kinds of small ones, and I don’t know how many houses they have borrowed, and everyone doesn’t care about other things, they pour out the fire when they see it, and run around frantically.

The air is filled with the smell of burning, and there are piercing and burning sounds in my ears.

It was obviously a cold night, but everyone only felt hot.
