Chapter 267: Stinger
The south bank of the Heng River, Gong County.
The Heng River in Gongxian County, the water surface is wide up to ten miles, just like a vast ocean, the water flow is relatively gentle, the Heng River continues to alluvial for tens of millions of years, forming an alluvial plain with a radius of hundreds of miles, the plain is covered with reeds, it is the famous West River Lake.
The water network of the West River Lake is dense, overgrown with lush reeds that are taller than people, it looks boundless, the tall reeds block the line of sight, enter the reeds, it is impossible to distinguish the direction at all, only the locals dare to go deep into the reeds to fish, dig lotus root, asparagus, etc.
In the middle of the night, the moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the earth.
The dense reeds glow with the moonlight, blending with the fine phosphorescence of the water, and there is no distinction between water, reeds, figures and boats.
In the depths of Ludang, in a dry land near the water, a figure sits under the lotus.
This person's breath is dissolved with the surroundings, it seems to be extremely coordinated, suddenly looked, there seems to be no one there, take a closer look, and look like a lotus, a lotus leaf, like a dream, like a reality.
This figure was none other than Lei Shaoxuan, who had been cultivating in the lotus bush for a day.
It is said that water is the spirit of the earth, and where water depends, the aura is fresh and rich. In this reed swing by the Heng River, the aura is very active, and it is on the water surface and permeated in the reeds.
Within a radius of hundreds of meters around Lei Shaoxuan, the figure of the Taoist is hidden in the reeds, looking faint and shadowy, from time to time a small boat quietly docks, puts people down from the boat, and quietly rows away, disappearing into the distance.
Lei Shaoxuan was immersed in cultivation, and his divine thoughts spread around at will, pulling aura.
The aura continued to merge into Lei Shaoxuan's body, forming a vortex centered on Lei Shaoxuan's body, and the vortex rolled up the wind and spread around.
The power of chaos cannot exist alone between heaven and earth, as long as it overflows, it will disappear, the aura enters the Lei Shaoxuan dantian, the dantian vortex transforms the aura into the power of chaos, converges to the center of the dantian, and disappears into the vast void of the dantian, the dantian vortex pulls the chaotic spiritual power, so that it cannot overflow, so Lei Shaoxuan's qi machine is not exposed at all.
The wind around Lei Shaoxuan became more and more fierce, the dantian whirlpool was spinning faster and faster, and his body had a feeling of solidity and strength, as if the world was in his heart, and the strength made him extremely confident.
Lei Shaoxuan's heart was overjoyed, this was the smooth introduction of spiritual power, and it was also a precursor to a breakthrough.
Suddenly, Lei Shaoxuan's heart suddenly became alarmed, and in the dark, a sledgehammer came from the dark sky and suddenly hit Lei Shaoxuan's head.
Boom! Like thunder, Lei Shaoxuan's eyes went black and fell into darkness.
Darkness, boundless darkness.
Lei Shaoxuan's body floated in the boundless darkness, with nothing to rely on, floating in the void, and he couldn't help himself.
Lei Shaoxuan forcibly opened his eyes, and where he entered, it was pitch black, and in the void, there was a distorted reflection of a dead corpse.
He saw multitudes of people, all dead bodies.
He looked at Sun Guosheng, Hu Youde, Jiang Qing, and Bai Jie...... In these years, in the death row camp and the forward camp, the death row prisoners and comrades-in-arms who fell in front of him saw the enemy, saw the passers-by who died on the Kuhai Road, and saw countless broken arms and stumps, and the bones were full of bones.
The shadows were ethereal, ethereal, they were ghosts, and they beckoned to Lei Shaoxuan.
They had been watching from a distance, smiling, Lei Shaoxuan tried to step forward and chase after him, however, Lei Shaoxuan caught up in the moment, and the smile suddenly turned into a hideous skeleton ghost and pounced on Lei Shaoxuan.
These terrible ghosts cursed, wept, wailed...... Biting, tearing, striking, under the night sky, the earth was a sea of fire, and the flames soared into the sky.
Lei Shaoxuan was horrified, and his dantian instantly became violent and disordered, as if his body exploded, and Lei Shaoxuan exploded into pieces.
"Ahh
"Captain, what's wrong with you. ”
"The lieutenant is injured, come and take a look. ”
"Oh no, the lieutenant vomited blood. ”
“......”
Lei Shaoxuan opened his eyes, surrounded himself by his own soldiers, and looked at him anxiously.
"I'm fine. Lei Shaoxuan said weakly, his eyes and ears ringing.
Several generals surrounded him.
"How's the situation?" asked Lei Shaoxuan.
"The personnel are basically there. Ma Shaoteng said in a deep voice, "In addition, I just got the news that our army has captured Yingya Pass, and the army is making a detour and attacking in the direction of Lengshuitan. ”
Lei Shaoxuan was slightly stunned, and realized that he vomited blood just now, which was the evil retribution of Eagle Cliff Pass.
"The whole team!" Lei Shaoxuan pushed away the guards and said coldly.
The password was conveyed one by one, and the reeds were swinging, and the figure of the Dao Dao was quickly drilled, and after a while, ten lieutenants and Ma Shaoteng stood in front of Lei Shaoxuan.
Ma Tao, captain of the first battalion in Jiangdong, has arrived with 1,500 men. ”
Xue Ding, the captain of the Jiangdong Second Battalion, has arrived with 1,500 men. ”
“......”
In the midst of the reeds, 10,000 soldiers were hidden.
At a glance, all the soldiers were wearing all kinds of civilian clothes, Lei Shaoxuan divided the 10,000 elites into pieces, pretended to be business men, used business boats, and spent two days and two nights transporting them into Xihedian Reedang.
These soldiers are carefully selected elites, Ma Shaoteng was the leader who escorted Lei Shaoxuan to the bitter sea, and now he has become a famous general in Jiangdong, this southern expedition, but also to make up for Lei Shaoxuan's lack of experience in leading the army, King Wei specially transferred Ma Shaoteng to Lei Shaoxuan's command as a deputy.
Lei Shaoxuan spread out the map and took out a night pearl, which suddenly became as bright as day.
"There are 500,000 sailors in South Vietnam, and with them, it is difficult for our army to cross the river on a large scale. It is still difficult to break through only by relying on the army of Eagle Cliff Pass to attack Lengshuitan in a roundabout way and open up the passage of the Henghe River, and we need to open up a second battlefield, and we are the vanguard. ”
Lei Shaoxuan said in a deep voice: "The 500,000 sailors of South Vietnam are distributed on the south bank of the Heng River, divided into three major regions: eastern, central and western, and there are many sailor bases, all of which are located on the banks of the Heng River, which are difficult to conquer. However, the grain supply in the eastern theater came from the Nalan granary and the Pingjiang granary, and these two granaries were also responsible for ensuring the supply of disaster relief food for several counties in the east. ”
Lei Shaoxuan looked up at everyone: "Our task is to go deep behind the enemy, destroy all the food as much as possible, make the sailors have no food to use, let the enemy's rear fall into panic, and let the cities along the Heng River in the east be chaotic, like inserting a stinger into the enemy's rear." ”
"The code name of our mission this time is 'Stinger'," Lei Shaoxuan said.
"If you are alone, you will be killed. Ma Shaoteng worried, "Without backup, no food and grass, the whole army will be wiped out." ”
Lei Shaoxuan nodded, pointed to the map, and said, "South Vietnam has developed waterways and convenient transportation, so when they set up the granary, they didn't pay much attention to safety. Probably they thought that even if the granary was destroyed, it would be easy to mobilize grain from other places, not to mention the powerful sailors and the Henghe Heavenly Danger, so the lack of guards in the Nalan granary and the Pingjiang granary gave us a chance. ”
Lei Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "They wouldn't have thought that after destroying the grain, they would have no food to use." ”
"There are only five thousand guards in the Nalan granary, and fifty miles from here, so we will set out at once, arrive before dawn, and take the Nalan granary. ”
The reeds were confused and confused, and he couldn't tell the direction, but it was difficult for Lei Shaoxuan, he had a powerful divine thought.
After a night of rapid marching, 10,000 troops came out of the reeds and came to a hilly high ground.
Looking down from the hills, there is an open water in front of you, and a small island juts out into the water, and there is a narrow passage between the island and the land.
The island is surrounded by high fences, and the only access is a gate, and two high platforms stand on either side of the gate, each of which is guarded by two guards.
In the middle of the island, there are dozens of circular granaries, and in the middle of the granaries are rows of neat houses, which are obviously guarded barracks.
The whole island, like a giant monster, lies silently in the water under the sky.
In the early hours of the morning, when the darkest hour came, the moon suddenly fell into the sky.
By the light of night, the procession quietly approached the gate.
Ma Shaoteng glanced at Lei Shaoxuan and nodded.
"Attack!"
Eight archers approached the gate, and Huo Ran stood up, took out his crossbow, and aimed it at the high platform guards.
Whoosh! Whoosh......
With a heart-palpitating sound of strings, eight cold arrows slashed through the night and slammed into the necks of the guards on the high platform.
On the high platform, four black shadows fell softly.
"Rush!"
At the sound of an order, the ant-like soldiers, silently wriggling, rushed towards the gate.
Lei Shaoxuan grabbed a three-zhang long, heavy, sharpened siege giant tree beside him, raised it to his shoulder, and threw it towards the gate.
Lei Shaoxuan has cultivated the eighth layer of qi perfectly, and he has the strength of 10,000 catties, and it is not effortless to lift the giant tree.
Woo!
The huge log, drawing an arc, slammed into the gate.
Rumble!
The gate shattered, and shards of wood flew in all directions, revealing a large hole.
In the midst of everyone's stunned, Lei Shaoxuan lifted another giant log and threw it out again, the gate could no longer support it, and it collapsed.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
"Enemy attack!"
“......”
There were also guards behind the gate, but the gate suddenly fell to the ground, and the large army had already rushed in, and they were caught off guard, and the guards had no time to react, and they had already been cut down with knives.
In a moment, the granary was filled with screams, sirens, ringing, and houses collapsing...... All kinds of sounds come together.
The patrol on duty in the granary was quickly wiped out by the brigade, most of the guards were blocked in the barracks, and those who dared to take the lead were shot one by one, and the rest could only surrender and be escorted to the open field to be guarded.
Due to the lack of war for many years and the lax guards, the Stinger forward troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with almost no casualties, occupied and controlled the Nalan granary.
"My lord, I am really a god and a man. Ma Shaoteng sighed.
Without Lei Shaoxuan suddenly breaking through the gate, relying on the forced attack of the granary, 10,000 against 5,000 guards, I don't know how many people had to die before they could capture it.
If the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, the granary will send people to ventilate the water and ask for reinforcements, and the Stinger troops will inevitably fall into a bitter battle, or even be surrounded, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Now, with almost no effort, the Stinger troops have blocked the guards in the barracks, and all of them have become prisoners, with zero casualties on their own, which is a miracle.
"Hurry up and rest, set off after dawn, and rush to the Pingjiang granary. Lei Shaoxuan said.
"What to do with the grain?" Ma Shaoteng frowned.
"It's not so easy to destroy so much food. If you throw it into the water, you can fill up a piece of land, and it will take several days to burn it, and the news will leak. Xue Dingdao.
"Cut off contact with the outside world, block news, leave people, and burn again after we reach Pingjiang. Lei Shaoxuan said.
"What about the captives?"
"What do you say?" Lei Shaoxuan looked at several captains coldly.
When several lieutenants heard this, they fell into an ice cave.
