Volume 3 The Debater Chapter 121 Raise your arms and shout
"Lord, there are too many people near the warehouse, I'm afraid I won't be able to get by. Meng Dan, who was in charge of detection, rushed back to the place where Jiang Qiao and the others were temporarily stationed with the only six remaining generals, and said in a solemn voice.
Since the rebels have already started an incident, the grain and grass weapons are naturally indispensable, and the sealing of the well is the granary of Liang and even the entire Yuzhou, and there are thirty warehouses of grain alone, and the rebels are naturally impossible to let go.
"How many people?" Jiang asked weakly.
"It's too dark to see clearly, to say the least, there are thousands of people!" Meng Dan sighed, plus the county guards who were recruited from Wang Xing, now Jiang Wan's side, full of battles, is only about two hundred and fifty people, even if the rebels are all rabble, in this rebel Fengjing City, it is impossible for them to attack the warehouse and other heavily guarded places guarded by the rebels.
"The warehouse must be taken. Jiang Qiao sat cross-legged on the ground, and used tree branches to sketch a map of sealing the well on the soil, because the granary is the place where the entire sealed well is put in the heavy grain and grass, if the rebels get the granary, at least in the sealing well, the rebels will have a foundation, plus the rebels' deep popular base, if they can't take advantage of the rebels' unstable foothold to break the granary today, then they are likely to be trapped in this Fengjing County.
"But the enemy is outnumbered, how can I break the enemy?" Meng Dan said with a wry smile.
"You are also a person who has been on the battlefield, don't say these naΓ―ve words, there is never a difference in victory or defeat. Jiang Qiao raised his head, glanced at Meng Dan, and sketched a few strokes with a branch near the granary.
"The warehouse must be taken tonight. Jiang Miao circled the branches around the warehouse and said: "There are four doors in the warehouse, we only have about 150 people to fight here, Yeluqi and Meng Dan, you two lead 100 people each, and the night shift is three watches, now set fire to the surroundings to mess with the enemy's mind, and then shoot the rebels and thieves on the periphery with arrows. Jiang Wan looked at Yelu Qi Meng and said: "The key to this battle is not how many enemies are killed, only how many enemies are being deceived, do you know how to do it?"
"Don't worry, my lord, isn't it just to drive sheep?" Meng Dan grinned, this method, they also used it on the grassland, cloth under the horse pit, surrounded by three queyi, drove the enemy into the trap, on the grassland, tried and tested.
"No, we can't afford to have too many casualties this time. Jiang Miao said in a deep voice: "So before the enemy is in chaos, it is best not to approach, so that they can see the clues." β
"Fang Yue!"
"In. β
"You take people, responsible for assassination, the rebels are loosely organized, I saw that Xie Qi attacking the county government before, although there are many people at hand, but there are very few generals, so I can break through calmly, there is no need to assassinate leaders such as Xie Qi, just assassinate those small leaders one by one, and the rebels in the city will collapse without a fight. Jiang Wan looked at Fang Yue: "The generals who are close to the other party, how many can they kill." β
"Wow!" Fang Yue nodded.
"Lord......" Meng Dan looked at Jiang Weak, opened his mouth, but did not speak, at this time, he did not want to hit morale
"Say!" Jiang Qiao looked at Fang Yue.
"We don't have many arrows to bring out, and if it's a salvo, I'm afraid it will only support two rounds. Fang Yue said astringently, in order to prevent the rebels from revolting, Jiang Wan not only arranged a large number of traps in the county office, but also prepared a lot of bows and crossbows, but unfortunately they were too few to bring too many, plus the ones used on the road, and now everyone's arrow clusters add up to not much.
"It's all over the first time. Jiang Miao said in a deep voice: "Don't think about saving, those rebel thieves are just a rabble, there are many people, but it is easier to cause chaos." β
"Wow. Meng Shan nodded, if he was reluctant to release arrows because of the shortage of arrow clusters, it would not be able to play a deterrent role, and secondly, it would not have momentum, and it would be easy for people to see the clues.
"There is still a period of time before the third watch, so let's take a break and recuperate. Jiang Liang leaned against the wall.
The night was a little deeper, and Jiang Qiao, who closed his eyes and recuperated, was not as calm as he appeared.
"Lord, Wang Hai has arrived!" At the third watch in the middle of the night, a family general climbed over the wall with his waist down, came to Jiang Qiao's side, and woke up Jiang Qiao, who closed his eyes and recuperated.
"Wang Hai, what's the situation?" Jiang Miao opened his eyes and looked at Wang Hai.
"There were only about a hundred. Wang Hai bowed to Jiang Wan and said: "When we arrived at the county office, the county government had already turned into ashes, and the signal Brother Liu came to report that the lord had broken through, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." β
"Are there more than 100 people, do you have bows and crossbows?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"The bows and crossbows are complete, but the cluster of arrows can't carry too many, only sixty bags of arrows. Wang Hai nodded.
"Almost, give all the quivers to Yeluqi and Meng Dan, and bring in the county soldiers you brought, and follow me. Jiang Wan stood up, looked at the sky, turned his head to look at the others, and said, "Wait first, do according to the plan." β
"Wow!" Yeluqi and Meng Dan bowed, and after quickly inviting the quiver with the county soldiers brought by Wang Hai, they divided into three teams and left quickly in the direction that Jiang Qiao had arranged before.
Jiang Wan slowly drew out his sword, looked at the county soldiers who came in, and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, those false words, don't say it, the wealth of my generation of soldiers has always been obtained from the horse, the weak swear to the sky here, today's battle, if we can get away with the victory, until the day of pacifying this well, those who survive, reward ten acres of fertile land, and those who die, as long as the weak have a breath of air, you wait for your wife, I will raise it! If there are heirs, the weak will protect their wealth, this oath can be learned from heaven and earth, if this oath is violated, the ghosts and gods will punish it!"
"I'm willing to follow the envoy!" A group of county soldiers surrendered their hands together, Jiang Qiao was already the acting lieutenant and had the right to command them, and now he was even more rewarded, how could he not want to, in this era, human beings fear ghosts and gods, and they are very trusting of the oath.
After the arrangements were made, Jiang Qiao took Wang Hai and one hundred and twenty county soldiers and headed in the direction of the granary.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the rebels were in a hurry, at least in the sealing of the well, it was close to March, but at the time of the third watch, the air in the city was still cold and numb, and the person in charge of guarding the warehouse was Xie Qi's friend Lu Liang, and the two of them were under the door of the rebel leader at the same time.
Xie Qi was valued by the rebel leaders, Lu Liang, as Xie Qi's friend, was the leader of the rebels in this Fengjing rebel army, second only to Xie Qi, and was quite trusted by Xie Qi, and the heavy responsibility of guarding the granary was handed over to Lu Liang by Xie Qi, but the elite of the rebels in the Fengjing area were taken by Xie Qi and searched for Jiang Weak all over the city.
Although there are thousands of people on Lu Liang's side, they are all composed of ordinary rebel sects, and discipline is naturally impossible.
Yeluqi and Meng Dan did not do it at the same time, but agreed that one party would be angry, and the other party would do it again, and in the dark night, a cluster of fire light burned in the direction of the north of the granary, followed by a burst of gongs and countless shouts of killing, which woke up the rebel cultists who were responsible for guarding the granary.
In the night, I couldn't see how many people there were, and I couldn't see how many people there were from the corner tower of the granary, but I saw that the surrounding flames were soaring into the sky, and in the firelight, there were constantly figures emerging, and for a while, I couldn't see how many enemies there were.
"Enemy attack!" In the terrible roar, a rebel was awakened from his sleep, and one by one he ran out of all corners in disbelief, and just after the gathering, he heard the whistling sound of breaking the air with the whistle of death falling from the sky, and a dozen rebels who did not have time to react screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
Some of the arrows that broke through the air directly hit the vital point, a life whine, considered lucky, but more were shot on the thighs, arms and other places that are not fatal, most of these rebels are composed of honest people, who have experienced such things, for a while, the terrible screams and shouts sounded together, and the rain of arrows that broke through the sky fell one after another, so that the rebels who had no morale at all were instantly confused, for a while, some people wanted to escape, some people wanted to climb the wall to resist the enemy, and it was a mess.
Before this side was over, there was also a fire in the west, followed by the south, and for a while, as if the entire granary was surrounded, these rebel cultists, who had no morale at all, saw that they seemed to be surrounded, where could they still care about any command duties, and before the enemy approached, the entire formation had already collapsed, and one by one they rushed towards the only east side where there was no firelight.
When Lu Liang was woken up from his sleep, the rout had been achieved, and he desperately shouted that there could not be a large number of officers and soldiers in the city, but how could the believers who had panicked still listen to this, and after Lu Liang killed several rebel disciples one after another, he was involuntarily swept towards the east by the crowd.
"It's done!" When Fang Yue led the county guards to climb the wall, there was only a mess as far as he could see, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said to the left and right: "Quick, let go of the arrows and inform the lord!"
