Chapter 432 What are they going to do?

When Petrovic heard that the horse hut was attacked by a sneak attack, he felt much more relieved. The granary was his last means to control the army. If he hadn't given some food to the generals on time, these subordinates would have rebelled long ago.

It is also difficult to get a sneak attack on the horse hangar. Near the vast and sparsely populated Lake Baikal, how far can you go with your legs? If you haven't met anyone, you will starve to death.

"Hurry! Block the camp and don't let the despicable Orientals escape!" Petrovic said, put on his coat and walked out of the tent.

"boom!"

He took the reins brought by the guards, and before he could even step on the horse, a loud noise suddenly came from behind him. Petrovic looked back and was stunned.

The fires surged into the sky in the direction of the granary, which was even more violent than the one on the horse shed.

"Put the fire! Everyone goes to put out the fire! Hurry!" Petrovic's eyes turned red with anxiety. This was the last food reserve for the army. Once it was destroyed, the army would disperse.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the sneak attackers in the horse shed, and had only one thought in his mind, that is, to keep the granary.

When he arrived at the granary, there were already flames in his eyes. Not to mention putting out the fire, it was very difficult to get closer.

"What are you doing when you are stunned! You stupid pigs, hurry up and put out the fire!" Petrovic saw the helpless soldiers standing aside, and whipped them hard.

An officer was hit on his head, grinning in pain, and still said respectfully: "Commander! There is no water! It's cold and the ground is frozen, so I have no choice!"

"..., if there is no water, use snow and ice to extinguish the fire. In short, I don't care what method you use. If you can't extinguish the fire, I will send you to the gallows!" Petrovic was stunned, and then a louder roar broke out.

The officer quickly saluted and trotted to command the soldiers. Several soldiers pushed a truck of snow close to the fire, and had to stop after a distance of more than ten feet.

The scorching heat from the fire burned their hair, and the exposed skin stinged like a needle-like prick, and it was impossible to move forward.

A soldier had an idea, grabbed the snow and held it tightly, forming a snowball and throwing it into a sea of ​​fire. Others learned something and kept throwing snowballs like a fire.

Seeing this, Petrovic's nose was almost pissed, so a few snowballs were useless.

"Damn it, bastard! I swear to God..." Before Petrovic could finish speaking, another explosion came from the granary!

"Boom!", the sea of ​​fire suddenly smoked out. The soldiers who were busy throwing snowballs did not react at all and were swallowed by the fire.

"It's over! It's over!" Petrovic said in a daze when he rode on the horse. Without food storage, there was no chance to retreat.

The Orientals are really too cruel, and this is the retreat of Ross' army.

O God! O omnipotent Lord! Where are you? Come and save the lost Lamb!

Petrovic's prayer was useless. Just as he was staring at the fire, Kirimerk rushed over and said, "Master Commander! The Orientals who attacked the horse siege drove the horses out of the camp and headed straight to the south!"

"Southern? Isn't the Eastern Fortress in the north? What are they doing in the south?" Petrovic was a little puzzled. If this group of people got the war horses, they shouldn't retreat to the city immediately, so why did they go to the south.

Kirimerk waited for a while before speaking: "Your Excellency Commander! You should make a decision. The south is the territory of the Tatars. Don't forget that they are also Easterners!"

"This..." Petrovic stayed in place after hearing this, his face becoming extremely ugly.

Kirimerk was right. For them, whether it was the northern legion in the Eastern Fortress or the Tatars on the northern desert grassland, they were all natives of the Far East.

And they were invaders, and it was no surprise that the Tatars united with the people of the Northern Legion to fight them together.

Once what Kirimerk said happened, the army in the Eastern Expedition would be in danger.

Go, you must go immediately!

...

"Chen Dacheng! I did a good job, now the people of Ross can't sit still!" On the city of Daming, Qi Jiguang, with gray hair, nodded slightly.

Chen Dacheng also looked happy and pointed to the camp where the fire was soaring into the sky, saying: "The success of the camp is entirely due to the planning of the general and the lives of the soldiers. Some of the credits of his subordinates are not worth mentioning.

The reason why they were able to escape was thanks to Lao Pan's team. Although they attacked other places without authorization, the general asked the general not to pursue them for his contributions!"

After Chen Dacheng finished speaking, his eyes looked around the city. After not seeing Lao Pan's figure, his expression became solemn.

"Masterman! Has Old Pan come back?" Chen Dacheng asked anxiously.

After receiving the negative answer from everyone, Chen Dazhen immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Master! He lost his robes in the enemy camp. His subordinates asked him to go back to rescue Lao Pan, and ask the Master to be kind to him!"

"Nothing! The Ross people have been alarmed. If you go again, you will die! How can you let the lives of the soldiers be regarded as a joke?" Qi Jiguang scolded.

"But..., Lao Pan and the others..." Chen Dacheng was speechless and looked at Ross' camp with concern.

Qi Jiguang glanced at Chen Dacheng and said, "Old Pan? They probably didn't plan to come back. The agreed time is coming soon, and Li Chengliang should have come too.

Pay close attention to the movements of the Ross people and report any abnormal movements at any time!”

...

The fire only weakened until the sky was shining, and nothing was left for such a large fire. Petrovic just sent people to clear the surrounding camp tents to prevent the fire from spreading to the entire camp, and ignored it.

The generals were summoned overnight for a meeting and it was not over until dawn. Although the Ross was tossed all night, they could drink a bowl of broth and a small piece of unknown meat in the early morning, which made them feel much better.

In the next half day, the entire Ross camp was in turmoil. Because they received the news that the army of eastern expedition was about to head south to the grassland and detour to the Far East.

This news made the Ross mixed, and he was so happy that he could finally leave the Eastern Fortress and no longer had to risk his life to attack the desperate fortress.

What we worry about is that even if we go south, there is still a snowy and ice. God cannot warm up the weather. They still have to spend the winter in the cold.

Fortunately, there are Tatars on the grassland, so it should be easier to get food. Thinking that they don’t have to be as hungry as they are now, the Ross is very energetic and has only taken half a day to prepare for the departure.

Just as their front army had left, the gate of the Eastern Fortress opened and a group of soldiers began to line up outside the city.

"What? The Orientals came out?" Petrovic couldn't believe his ears. Since they came to Lake Baikal, the Orientals have been unable to stick to it, and even once made him think that the Orientals do not have the ability to fight in the field.

But when he was about to leave, the other party actually left the city. What were they going to do?
