Chapter 335 suffered heavy losses, leaving a back hand
With the help of the horses, this ten miles of land came to the front of the Jizhou camp almost in the blink of an eye, looking at the soldiers who were a little confused on the camp, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but appear a smile of ice spirit.
"Volley!" Zhang Liao shouted loudly, and the cavalry behind him took out arrows and fused them slightly on the saddle, which brought a burst of fire, and shot out the arrows in their hands before the flames were completely ignited, and suddenly formed a rain of fire in the sky, which was very gorgeous and colorful, and people couldn't help but squint their eyes, but the Jizhou soldiers present were even more frightened in their hearts.
I saw that except for some of the dense arrows scattered on the head of the city, all the rest passed over the camp and shot towards the camp and the granary behind, and in a short time they were all burning with raging fire.
"Bomb throw!" Zhang Liao estimated the distance in front of him and shouted loudly again, his eyes narrowing slightly.
As Zhang Liao's order was given again, the cavalry behind him quickly put down the arrows in his hands, and took out two small oil cans with a touch of his waist, and used a rope to connect them to make a simple side stepping stone.
The sky, which had just been dancing with fire and rain, was once again covered with flying oil cans, and the dense oil canisters flew over the camp very easily under the huge force, and even many of them collided fiercely in mid-air.
The swarthy fire oil suddenly sprinkled the entire wall like raindrops, and the stunned Jizhou army finally reacted and hurriedly ran towards the camp, but it seemed that it was too late.
A dense rain of fire flew again, this time in the eyes of the Jizhou soldiers, there was no longer a gorgeous color, but a demon like a demon drilled out of hell, which made people's hearts can't help but give birth to a touch of despair.
This time, after the paving of the fire oil, the whole section of the wall was lit up near the raging flames, and soon the strong granary was also covered with flames, although the sound of water was constantly heard in it, but the fire with the oil could not be easily extinguished, and all efforts were in vain.
The only thing we can do now is to snatch as much food and grass as we can, and all that remains is to watch it become the nourishment of the flames......
As this real granary was blazing, Guo Tu and Yan Liang, who were still in the midst of a fierce battle, reacted, and looked at the torch-like direction with ugly faces.
"Chun Yuqiong! Take some of your soldiers to the granary at once! Be sure to get me the food and grass out! Yan Liang didn't care about being found at the moment, and shouted loudly at Chun Yuqiong who was not far away.
"Come with me!" Chun Yuqiong seemed to know what these grains and grasses meant, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him, and then quickly rushed towards the vicinity of the granary, although the fire could not be extinguished, but the fire prevention measures in the vicinity were enough to persist for a period of time, so that he could grab enough grain and grass.
Fa Zheng looked at the raging flames that kept burning it, and a sneer couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, "The archers fired three rounds of volleys, and all the soldiers in front of them withdrew!" Ordered General Gongsun to retreat immediately and not to fight! ”
With
Fa Zheng's order was issued, and the Youzhou army suddenly began to retreat slowly, originally Yan Liang wanted to take people to chase after him, but the huge flames near the granary still made him forcibly calm down, "Damn! I'll let you go this time! Leave 10,000 people to repair the camp, and all the rest go to the granary to obey Chun Yuqiong's orders! ”
Because of the fear that the Youzhou army will attack again, Yan Liang is still needed to personally sit here to avoid the situation that the Youzhou army will go and return, and it will not be so easy for Yan Liang, who is riddled with fires, to stabilize the battle situation immediately.
On the other side, Guo Tu also adopted the same approach as Yan Liang, although the Youzhou army retreated, it didn't mean that they wouldn't fight back, once they made a slight mistake, let alone those grains and grass, even the soldiers present may not be able to bring all of them back to Yuan Shao's side.
After an hour of rescue, Chun Yuqiong finally led the soldiers to press down the flames that rushed to the sky, and most of the fires were very high because of the fire oil, so those flames were just burning outside the granary, and the grain and grass in the granary were not actually affected, or Chun Yuqiong was left with a certain amount of time to snatch it.
"How many truckloads of grain and grass have we rescued?" Chun Yuqiong looked at the ruins in front of her with a dark face, greedily breathing the moist air in the night sky, and the whole person was like a terrible ghost drilled out of the fire hell.
"Back to the general! We snatched out nearly 180 truckloads of grain and grass! The guards beside Chun Yuqiong also said breathlessly, because the flames consume a lot of oxygen when they are ignited, so as long as the people present are close to the fire, they are almost all out of breath now.
"One hundred and eighty cars? Even if it's full, it's only half of our army's grain and grass! Chun Yuqiong swallowed her saliva and said with some sadness, she and others worked hard to gather so much grain and grass from Qinghe to come here, and they were reluctant to eat and drink along the way, everything was very frugal, how could so much grain and grass be burned in vain in the end.
It would be better to be less frugal if I knew that this would be the end, at least the soldiers would not feel hungry in their stomachs, and they would be able to be a full ghost.
"That's it! You quickly go and tell the general and military division that our army has less than one hundred and eighty truckloads of grain and grass..."Chun Yuqiong said helplessly, her eyes were very scarlet, and she didn't know if it was because of the fireworks, or because she felt sorry for the wasted grain and grass.
With the passage of time, after confirming that the Youzhou army had left, Guo Tu and Yan Liang gathered in the big tent at one time, and the faces of the three of them were very ugly at this time, as if they had touched the ashes at the bottom of the pot.
"How much grain and grass does General Chun have?" In the end, Guo Tu broke the silent space and asked slowly, Yan Liang also looked at Chun Yuqiong in front of him with a serious face, this is related to the lifeblood of Jizhou, and it must be dealt with carelessly.
"After last night's check, our army's grain and grass are only one hundred and seventy-five carts! Half of the grain and grass are estimated to have been lost! Chun Yuqiong said with some trembling, his current mood can be described as very worried, Yuan Shao didn't know how to punish himself after losing such a huge amount of grain and grass.
"Why is the loss so great? You brought a lot of soldiers, huh? Even if the fire is too big to extinguish, it won't be enough to snatch the grain and grass from this! Yan Liang frowned
Asked with a frown, looking at Chun Yuqiong's eyes were also full of unhappiness, it seemed that he was secretly blaming Chun Yuqiong's rescue was unfavorable.
"General, you're blaming me for this! The enemy first covered it with rockets, and the soldiers who stayed behind immediately put out the fire with water, but then they threw a lot of oil, and then there was a round of rockets, and the oil continued to spread on the water and the speed of the spread of flames was also very fast! In addition, the wood after encountering water is difficult to burn, so the smoke is billowing out, and I took someone to rush in to rescue these grains and grasses! Chun Yuqiong heard Yan Liang's words, and couldn't help pursing her lips, and said weakly.
"This ......" Yan Liang's face was also a little embarrassed, after all, Chun Yuqiong was not without rescue, but he also rushed in personally, and he blamed him so much, thinking of this, Yan Liang's face became even more embarrassed.
"That's it! General Chun is not to blame for this, in that case, he can still rush into the fire to grab grain, in my opinion, not only is there no fault or even merit, but also a large amount of grain and grass has been snatched back for our army! Guo Tu shook his head and said, "Actually, I also mixed nearly eighty truckloads of grain and grass in the other two factory warehouses, which was originally to prevent our army from running out of food to eat, but now it seems that I have also saved some grain and grass for our army!" ”
"Is that really the case?" Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong's eyes couldn't help but appear two fine lights after hearing that there was still grain and grass, so that Youzhou only burned one-third of their own grain and grass, although the loss was still very large, but it was better than the proportion of one-half.
"Yes! But the two generals must not leak out, I still don't understand why the Youzhou army was able to determine overnight that we hoarded most of the grain and grass in that granary, you must know that these three granaries were built by us at the same time, and the grain, grass and soil transported were also transported at the same time! Guo Tu frowned and said, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Strategist, do you mean that there are traitors in our army?" Chun Yuqiong said with some hesitation, after all, in such a situation, anyone's first reaction is whether there will be a traitor or something.
Guo Tu didn't answer Chun Yuqiong's question, his face was still low, his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was thinking about something.
"I think it's just another backhand left by Youzhou! After all, the Youzhou army first attracted our attention, and then started the last two sneak attacks, and it was obvious that they didn't know which one the real granary was. Yan Liang shook his head and said disdainfully.
"But General Yan, how do you explain that the Youzhou army retreated after sneaking up on two granaries? And I still have a granary that hasn't burned down, the only one that has burned down is our real granary! Chun Yuqiong asked with some confusion.
Yan Liang was slightly stunned, but finally touched the back of his head and said, "Could it be because I yelled too loudly when I asked you to go to support, so that the Youzhou army directly identified that granary.....
.“ The general is right, maybe I'm thinking too much! Guo Tu nodded slightly after hearing Yan Liang's words, "Now let's discuss which way we should go tomorrow!" If these grains and grass do not come to the lord's side, we will not have peace for a day! ”
