Chapter 90: Destroying Logistics
It took thirteen people to cross the Yellow River in an hour, exhausted, and they were on four rafts, one of which broke and sank, almost causing a catastrophe.
Everyone sat on the river beach to rest, checked their equipment, Guo Song wrapped the bow in oiled paper, put it in a sealed sheepskin bow bag, carried it on his back, and carried a pot of arrows and an iron horizontal knife, and a fire box sealed and wrapped in oiled paper around his waist.
Although he was soaking wet, it did not affect the bow and arrows and the fire box.
At this time, Li Ji saw that everyone was almost rested, so he said to everyone: "There are still more than 20 miles ahead, let's set off quickly!" ”
Everyone packed up and got up to the road.
At the time of the third watch, the group arrived at the rock, standing on the high place of the rock and looking down, Li Ji's face suddenly changed, Guo Song also saw it, ten mountain rafts were moored on the shore, just blocking the exit of the horse breeding pen, they should have loaded the goods today, at least tomorrow morning will set off.
Guo Song said in a deep voice: "I'll deal with it!" ”
Li Ji nodded, "Guo Chongqing will go with you!" ”
"Good luck to everyone, and we'll see you later!"
Guo Song jumped up and jumped under the rock, Guo Chongqing was secretly speechless, hurriedly climbed down the rock, and followed Guo Song to the river.
Li Ji led the others around the rocks and touched the sheep and horse pen.
Guo Song took Guo Chongqing along the river all the way, and after a short time he gradually approached the mountain raft, lighting torches on the bank, illuminating the surroundings clearly, lying on the ground more than 20 soldiers doing rough work, all wrapped themselves tightly with blankets, sleeping sweetly, a soldier sat on both sides of the gate of the sheep and horse pen, although he was so sleepy that his eyes were almost open, but he still beat his spirit and sentry.
Guo Song made a gesture to Guo Chongqing, motioning for each of them to be one by one, Guo Chongqing nodded, and the two of them turned into the sheep and horse pen and touched behind the two sentries.
For a moment, the two were already squatting behind the sentry, with a wooden pillar in the middle, Guo Song and Guo Chongqing nodded, the two of them moved together, Guo Song covered the sentry's mouth, and the dagger was inserted into his heart, Guo Chongqing was even more ruthless, directly crushing the sentry's throat.
The two jumped out of the sheep and horse pen, just in front of a soldier, he went to Xiaojie to come back, just happened to take a picture with Guo Song in black, he was taken aback, just about to shout, only to see a flash of cold light, Guo Song's dagger shot into his throat, the soldier covered his throat and fell on his back, Guo Song made up another knife to kill him.
The two of them worked together to cut the throats of more than 20 sleeping soldiers and stabbed them to death.
"Help me keep watch, I'm in the water!"
Guo Song put his bow and arrows, horizontal knives, and fire boxes in the grass on the shore, and he only had the dagger and wrist knife that Duan Sanniang gave him, which was enough to deal with these rafts.
Guo Chongqing smiled: "I'll cut the rope, you go into the water!" ”
The two had already discussed on the way, and simply destroyed all ten mountain rafts, even if their action was unsuccessful, but without the means of transportation, Xue Yantuo's logistics and transportation would inevitably have serious difficulties.
Guo Song dived into the water silently, and Guo Chongqing began to cut the ropes holding the raft in place, and one by one the rafts like mountains left the shore and floated into the river.
Guo Song swam to the bottom of the first mountain raft, although the raft carries a large capacity, but it also has obvious weaknesses, one is afraid of fire, the raft is to peel off the skin of the whole sheep, sew into a leather bag, blow enough air to become an air tire, hundreds of air tires tied together, is a large mountain raft, the sheepskin is very thin, the fire will burst as soon as it burns, and the sword will pierce it.
One of the biggest weaknesses is at the bottom, at the bottom is a huge raft, on which the raft rests, and if you cut the ropes of the raft and cut through the leather cushion at the bottom, all the supplies inside will fall into the water.
The sharp dagger cut through the leather cushion at the bottom of the raft and cut a long opening, and Guo Song casually cut the rope that bound the raft.
Duan Sanniang gave him this dagger is indeed extremely sharp, very powerful, the dagger is light, the rope is broken, the raft fell apart at once, only to hear a bang, the hundreds of sheep in the raft all fell into the river from the cracks in the leather cushion, struggling desperately, but it was useless, the water was too fast, and they were washed away at once.
In just one stick of incense, the bottom of the ten rafts was all destroyed, and nearly 10,000 sheep fell into the river and were washed away by the river, and the rafts also floated downstream with the water.......
Guo Song went ashore, only to see five or six more corpses on the ground, it is estimated that they found an abnormality, and they came over to check the situation, all of them were killed by Guo Chongqing, Guo Chongqing was gone, and he should have sneaked into the sheep and horse pen.
Guo Song changed into the clothes of Xue Yantuo's soldiers, picked up the war knife and bow and arrows, put the fire box into his arms, and ran towards the camp.
The ignition mission he carried out was actually to set fire to the camp, disturb the enemy army, and snipe the enemy army to support the sheep and horse pen, and cover others to destroy the sheep and horse pen, which can be said to be the most difficult and dangerous task, and the martial arts are slightly worse, and it is almost impossible to come back alive.
Li Ji with ten subordinates has killed more than a dozen patrolmen, sneaked into the sheep and horse pen, they are divided into two ways, Li Ji, Lin Tai and Liang Wu three people to deal with the sheep and horse pen more than 20 defenders, the others are responsible for destroying the guardrail between the horse and the sheep, riding into the sheep, and then driving the sheep to the river, sheep are blind animals, go with the current, as long as the head sheep is driven to the river, the other sheep will follow.
Hundreds of thousands of sheep will instinctively jump into the river and swim to the opposite bank, but unfortunately the current is too fast, and most of the sheep cannot swim to the other bank, and will eventually be swept away by the rapids and washed into the Yellow River.
The biggest problem with this plan was that 3,000 troops would come to the rescue and stop the sheep from entering the water.
Of course, it cannot be expected that the soldiers will all be asleep and not be awakened, or that their movements will not be detected by the enemy, how is it possible? As soon as the pen is opened, the groom will be the first to notice.
Therefore, Guo Song's task is crucial, he wants to burn the entire battalion, so that the enemy army will flee for their lives in a panic, instead of rushing to stop the sheep.
Guo Song turned into the barracks from the northeast corner, a big tent appeared in front of him, a horse tied to the stake in front of the big tent, and a lit oil lamp was hung on the stake.
Guo Song cut off the reins of the war horse with a knife, turned over on the horse, pierced the oil lamp with a horizontal knife, threw the oil lamp to the big tent, more than a dozen balls of sparks fell on the big tent, and the big tent made of wool was immediately ignited.
At this time, just a Xue Yantuo soldier walked out of the big tent, the cold light flashed, Guo Song cut his throat with a knife, and ran to the depths of the big tent, only a moment, more than 30 big tents were ignited one after another, and under the help of the night wind, the fire began to spread rapidly.
Guo Song rode a horse and galloped in the camp, and shouted in the grassland language: "The Tang army is coming, the main force of the Tang army is coming, run for your life!" ”
At this time, a commander in charge of the logistics battalion was shocked and angry, rode a horse, he reined in his horse in the distance and asked loudly: "Where is the main force of the Tang Army?" ”
Guo Song stretched his bow and arrows, and said loudly: "General, it's right behind you!" ”
The captain was taken aback, and when he looked back, there was nothing behind him, and he was furious in his heart, and he turned around and was about to question, when an arrow had already reached his eyes, 'Poof! The arrow shot through the center of the eyebrow, piercing through the brain, and the commander screamed, and the dead body fell to the ground.
Several pro-soldiers had red eyes, drew their knives and rushed towards Guo Song, Guo Song urged the horse to run to the side, more than 50 steps apart, a series of five arrows were shot, the five pro-soldiers were all hit by arrows and fell to the ground, Guo Song disappeared into the darkness.
I heard him continue to shout: "The main force of the Tang Army has entered the camp, run for your life!" ”
The fire took advantage of the wind, and the fire became more and more violent, and a burning tent was even swept into the air by the wind, and most of the military camp was ignited by the flames, and most of the soldiers were barefoot, bare-chested, wearing only a pair of fur pants.........
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of sheep were driven into the water, and at first they were able to swim, but soon they disappeared one by one, and most of the sheep disappeared halfway and were swept away by the rapids.
Li Ji stared blankly at the sea of flames raging in the distance, he really didn't expect Guo Song to do such a beautiful job, he knew that he could bring three hundred people to annihilate all three thousand people.
"Captain! The sheep were all in the water. Guo Chongqing rode over and shouted.
Li Ji sighed softly and said to Guo Chongqing: "The Guo family gave up on him, and sooner or later he will regret it!" ”
He looked at the crowd and immediately shouted an order: "Retreat!" ”
"But what about Guo Song?" Duan Sanniang asked anxiously.
"We'll meet on the other side of the rock!"
The twelve men rode out of the sheepfold and galloped eastward, gradually disappearing into the grassland.
