Chapter 556 The warehouse is empty!
Chapter 556 The warehouse is empty!
Mo Zhuo was alert. When he saw people coming, he immediately stopped and fled with hundreds of people!
They headed straight for the training ground, which was on higher ground and easy to defend but difficult to attack!
And there are several thousand soldiers guarding there.
"General Wei, follow my orders. Hunt down the traitors!"
When Shen Yuan saw the man, he directly took out the token given by the emperor. Wei Yuanxiong said nothing and led his men to chase after him.
Mo Zhuo escaped quickly and soon joined up with the people over there, but the other hundreds of people were not so fast. Some were killed, and some surrendered and were captured alive.
There was a city tower built at the training ground, and Mozhuo almost fled and jumped onto the tower.
"Quick, close the door! Be sure to guard it!"
Mo Zhuo didn't care about those people who hadn't entered yet. He ordered people to close the gate and he sat on the city wall to give orders.
"Have the weapons been delivered? Where are the arrows? Is that all?"
Mo Zhuo looked at the bows and arrows piled up on a corner of the city wall. They were the ones he had used for practicing archery before.
When he went to inquire about the situation earlier, he had instructed a young general to take people to the warehouse to get weapons, especially bows and arrows.
The warehouse was not far from here. They went out from the back door and it was just a few steps away.
"Master Mo, that warehouse...there's nothing in the warehouse."
The young general's voice was trembling and his mouth seemed to be tied.
He couldn't believe the scene he saw.
They received the order, but when they pushed the cart to the warehouse to retrieve bows and arrows for defending the city, there was not even a piece of iron in the warehouse, let alone bows and arrows.
"What did you say? How could it be possible?!"
Mo Zhuo would never believe it no matter what.
He had been into the warehouse yesterday and saw it was full of weapons, most of which were arrows.
"Really, the warehouse is really empty. There is nothing to be seen. We have seen it all. We dare not deceive you no matter what."
The man was just short of swearing an oath.
Mo Zhuo stood up and turned around twice.
"It was here yesterday, but it's gone today. So many weapons can't have disappeared! You bastards, you can't even take care of this! What use are you!"
Although he knew that they were not guarding the weapons, Mo Zhuo didn't know who to scold at this moment.
The warehouse was heavily guarded, and it was impossible to transport the weapons out without making any noise, so he sent people to get the weapons while he went to block the enemy's men.
Unexpectedly, the warehouse was empty!
As they were talking, Wei Yuanxiong and his men had already arrived outside the city wall.
Mozhu looked down and saw that the roars of wild beasts in the forest were becoming less and less. There were wild beasts all around them, but there seemed to be fewer of them now.
Even if there were, the beasts did not attack the people brought by Wei Yuanxiong.
They even have sachets!
He even has the sachets, so I'm afraid he already knows everything that's going on here.
Jiang Shun and his men also quickly ran over along another road.
They were treated differently from the team in front because they didn't have sachets and had to deal with ferocious beasts all the way.
Even though the power grid had trapped most of the beasts, we still encountered several groups along the way.
At this time, many of them were injured, but fortunately none of them were serious.
Soon he met the people who were there to pick him up, and they took him to the foot of the city wall.
At this time, the three thousand troops had successfully joined forces.
"Listen, rebels upstairs! Surrender now! Anyone who opens the tower will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and spared from death!"
Wei Yuanxiong was also shocked to see that there was such a city tower deep in the mountains.
They also saw the mine when they came here just now.
I had heard orders before and knew that someone was secretly digging iron ore here, but later I found out that it was rebels who were secretly training troops.
I didn’t expect it to be so large!
Wei Yuanxiong was about 40 years old. He had also been to the battlefield, but he was dull and didn't know how to manage things. In the end, he was exiled to the garrison in Beichang Prefecture.
But he still had a passionate heart. Seeing these rebels so bold and making such a big fuss right under his nose, how could he not be angry?
Even if he succeeds in eliminating the rebels today, he, as the garrison general in this area, is still responsible for dereliction of duty.
His shout was quite powerful.
Most of the rebels inside were lying down. They had no strength left due to being poisoned, and some were even unconscious in the serious condition.
Only a few thousand soldiers were awake, and now almost all of them knew that the warehouse was empty.
Although they used bows and arrows for daily training, their numbers were few and there was no chance of stopping them from attacking the city.
What's more, many of these soldiers themselves did not really want to become rebels.
They came here because they had no other choice, but they never intended to become rebels.
"Lord Mo? What should we do?"
No one dared to make a decision and they all looked at Mo Zhuo.
Mo Zhuo knew that the situation was hopeless, but how could he just give up? Even if he died, he had to take someone with him to die with him, so that his master would not be in vain for saving his life.
"Fight! They don't have ladders. It's not easy to capture the city gate. Besides, they don't have many people!"
At Mozhu's command, the archers were already in position.
Although there are not many arrows, it can be used to resist for a while.
Arrows rained down.
Seeing that the other party was resisting to the death, Wei Yuanxiong did not show any mercy and immediately organized people to attack the city!
Mo Zhuo did not stay on the top floor for long. Shen Yuan was blocking the rain of arrows while keeping an eye on the movements on the city wall. When he saw Mo Zhuo disappear from the city wall, he immediately walked away from the crowd.
"Ye Ming, Jiang Shun, you retreat first! Go down the mountain and chase in four directions!"
Shen Yuan immediately assigned tasks to Jiang Shun and others.
"General Wei, I'll leave this to you first!"
Second uncle hasn't shown up yet, maybe he has been sent down the mountain.
Jiang Shun and others received the order and quickly left the mining area, splitting into four directions to chase downwards.
Shen Yuan was waiting at the back door leading to the warehouse.
There is no problem with General Wei. They don’t use many bows and arrows in their daily training. They only need to hold out for a quarter of an hour and their arrows will run out!
At that time, attacking the city will be easy!
At this moment, he was afraid that Mo Zhuo had given up this place and wanted to escape!
Now that Mo Zhuo is gone, they have no one to lead them and are like a group of scattered sand!
With Mo Zhuo's personality, he would definitely not believe that the warehouse was empty. Even if he wanted to escape, he would go and take a look.
He guessed correctly. Mo Zhuo did not plan to stay any longer at this moment. He wanted to see the warehouse with his own eyes and then go find his master.
By the way, we also need to find a scapegoat.
The scapegoat was naturally Chen Wenjin.
Chen Wenjin didn’t know whether he was poisoned or not. He hadn’t seen him since the accident.
Mo Zhuo's figure was like a ghost. He went to find Chen Wenjin first, and he actually found him.
Chen Wenjin was not poisoned, but he did not notice anything was wrong.
He is a lazy guy. He sleeps all afternoon and likes to listen to some music in the evening.
He kept a person who could sing music by his side, and he was always listening to music in the room.
The person singing the song was not poisoned. The two of them ate late and only felt hungry when it got dark. When they went out to find something to eat, they smelled a terrible stench outside.
Chen Wenjin was still cursing and didn't react at first, thinking someone had a stomachache from eating something.
When we ran to the mine to take a look, we realized that something was wrong.
