Chapter 667: Battle Song of Xiongguan (Medium)

Despite the yellow-faced sergeant's sword, Xin Yu heard a dull click as darkness invaded the whole room. Even if the croppers don't fall into the water, I'm afraid their necks will be broken.

When the other Western Xia sergeants saw that they had lost their lives, they were not interested in gambling anymore, they glanced at each other, and then walked away. Xin Yu was driven back to the cabin again.

At nightfall, the ship arrived at the foot of Lantian City. The shore was lit with torches, and there were already more than twenty sergeants waiting there, and beside them were a hundred and ten servants who were responsible for carrying grain and grass.

As soon as the ship landed, Xin Yu and the others were pulled out of the cabin and began to work with the servants on the shore to load the grain and grass into the cart. The sergeant on the ship and the sergeant on the shore seemed to be from a film, knowing each other and talking and laughing loudly.

In the end, all but four sergeants were left on duty in each boat, and the others followed to the camp. Xin Yu, along with the other servants, pushed and pulled the cart hard.

Originally, the Western Xia army also requisitioned some cattle and horses to serve as animal power to transport grain and grass, but due to civil strife and famine, the army lacked meat, and these cattle and horses were gradually slaughtered, and the servants became the main force pulling carts.

The military masters did not have the consciousness of walking by themselves, and sat in groups of three or five on the carts, and were pulled forward by the servants, and if they looked at anything that was not pleasing to the eye, they would whip it. If any of the servants were whipped and fell to the ground screaming, the sergeants burst into laughter.

Taking advantage of the chaotic unloading just now, Xin Yu gathered six of his subordinates together and pulled a big cart. There were also many whips along the way, but several people gritted their teeth and endured.

Fortunately, it was only two or three miles from the barracks to the water's edge, and after a quarter of an hour, the cart entered the camp. This is close to Lantian City, and the entire camp extends from the south of Lantian City to Yaoguan. The torches flickered and joined together in a large area, like stars in the sky, with no edge in sight.

In the northwest corner of the camp, close to the city wall, there are several rows of houses and dozens of grass huts, which are the grain and grass storehouses of the Xia defenders in the western part of the country. Separated from the rest of the camp by a moat more than three feet wide.

It stands to reason that the grain and grass should be located in Lantian City. However, more than a month has passed, and the Qi army has never broken through the pass. And tens of thousands of soldiers eat horses and chew, and they consume a lot of grain and grass. It was too troublesome for the quartermaster to enter and leave Lantian City every day. In the end, these rows of simple houses and straw huts were built according to the wall of the south gate as warehouses.

Under the command of the Western Xia sergeant, the grain and grass were moved into the storehouse. Around midnight, all the grain was moved. The hungry servants were driven into the huts. A few large cauldrons in front of the straw hut, in which coarse rice mixed with chaff and straw are cooked. The sergeant shouted and cursed, told the servants to hurry up and eat, and then rolled into the hut to sleep.

Before the rice was cooked, all the servants rushed up, each with a broken bowl and a broken tile, desperately grabbing the rice to eat, and those who were in a slightly worse health could not even eat this kind of coarse rice. Xin Yu and the others also rushed forward, relying on their physical superiority to fight in groups, and finally had a full stomach.

As the night wore on, the camp gradually fell silent. The servants lay on the grass in all directions, and the fatigue of the day soon caused them to fall asleep. Soon, there was a snoring sound in the hut. Those who grind their teeth, sleep and turn around, look messy in the silence of the night.

Xin Yu and the others gathered in a corner of the grass hut and waited quietly.

"Boss, what should I do?" Yan Feng leaned into Xin Yu's ear and whispered.

"Don't panic, look at the movement." Xin Yu watched closely outside.

After observing for a while, Xin Yu said, "There are sergeants around here who are closely guarded, and there should be two patrol teams, and they should walk through every two tea hours." Here's how we ......."

Xin Yu whispered tactics to Yan Feng, and the two passed on the word of mouth, and the entire tactics were arranged. Don't allow Xin Yu to be careless, this is the hinterland of the Western Xia army, and if you are not careful, you will all die.

After a while, a patrol squad passed in front of the hut with torches. Xin Yu and the others all bowed down and pretended to be asleep. As soon as the team passed, Xin Yu took off his old military uniform, prostrate himself, and slowly crawled towards the big stove in front of the straw shed.

After half a cup of tea, Xin Yu arrived in front of the stove and reached out to touch the ashes, Xin Yu quickly retracted his hand. Despite being burned painfully, Xin Yu was still overjoyed. I don't know if the Western Xia soldiers were too careless, and the fire under the stove was not extinguished. Xin Yu discovered this just now. If you want to destroy the other party's grain and grass, you can't do it without fire, and these ashes are the only fire-derived blessings that they can use to read them all.

Xin Yu threw the old military uniform on the ashes, quickly gathered most of the ashes together, wrapped them up at once, and quickly jumped back with the cat's waist bent.

A corner of the grass shed had already been pulled out of a vacant space by Yan Feng and others, and after Xin Yu returned, he put a bag of ashes on the ground, and the others hurriedly covered the grain grass on it.

Gu Cao's voice was not small, and the two servants not far away turned over, so frightened that Xin Yu and the others hurriedly stopped. After waiting for a while, Xin Yu and the others smelled the smoke and were all happy. As long as there is smoke, it will not be long before an open flame will come out.

It was here that another patrol squad came over. Yan Feng and several other sergeants also took off their robes and covered them with smoking straw. In order to suppress the smoke, Yan Feng also lay on it.

The patrol team walked to the grass hut, and a sergeant in front of him twitched his nose, "Hey, it seems to smell of smoke." ”

Xin Yu and the others were startled and didn't dare to move. Fortunately, another sergeant laughed and scolded, "Aren't we holding torches?" Of course there was smoke. ”

"It doesn't seem to smell of pine oil." The sergeant sniffled two more times and looked in the direction of the hut.

"Don't be chattering, let's go, patrol again, it's time for the changing of the guard, I'm sleepy." Another sergeant chimed in.

"What are you yelling about!" The officer leading the team in front turned around and whispered, and several sergeants immediately did not dare to speak again.

The officer stopped, sighed a few times, looked at the cauldron, and his face showed a sudden realization, "It's these cheap pawns who cook and make it, keep going!" ”

In fact, as long as this officer examines the ashes under a few cauldrons next to each other, he will find something strange. It's a pity, perhaps because of the imminent shift change, that this team of people didn't check it.

The patrol squad passed. It wasn't until they walked a hundred zhang away that Yan Feng snorted and rolled away from the grain grass, and a column of smoke much thicker than just now rose.

"Light the fire and go according to plan!" Xin Yu let out a snort, and several of his subordinates immediately took action.

No sooner had the old clothes been removed from the straw than a flame rose up. Several Qi soldiers piled up the grass one by one, and after a while, the fire broke out and spread to the entire grass shed.

The servants were in a daze and woke up. I don't know who was the first to shout: "It's water!" Walk the water! ”

More servants woke up and shouted.

At this time, several Daqi sergeants each held a handful of burning grain grass and ran towards the grass shed next to it. Before the patrol team arrived, five or six straw huts were set on fire. For a time, the fire was soaring.

Not only the patrol team, but also the entire sergeant guarding the grain and grass depot ran out of the barracks in a panic and rushed towards the fire.

The patrol squad arrived first, shouting orders to put out the fire, and at the same time wielding knives and slashing at the soldiers who were running wildly. However, hundreds of soldiers were frightened by the fire and turned into headless flies, which directly dispersed the patrol team of only twenty people, and even dropped two torches to the ground.

Xin Yu and Yan Feng also rushed forward, each crashing into a sergeant. Grabbing wrists, knee hits, grabbing knives, and counter-splitting, all in one go. Needless to say, Xin Yu's skills are all from the elite of the tent this time, and they are all the best in the world.

After cutting down seven or eight people, the officers leading the patrol squad all found something strange and shouted, "Meticulous work is here!" Finely crafted here! Before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of light, and a big head flew into the air.

The scene became even more chaotic. Even the Western Xia sergeants of the patrol squad began to wander around, some on the run, and some chasing and killing the scattered servants.

Xin Yu and Yan Feng couldn't care about others anymore, and before the team arrived, they quickly took off the slain sergeant to the bank of the moat not far away, stripped off the sergeant's clothes in the dark place at the bottom of the slope, changed it on himself, and finally pushed the corpse into the river.

By the time they got back up the slope, the group had arrived. Due to their hurry, these Western Xia soldiers were generally disheveled and disorganized. However, they did not relent, and slashed at the group of servants. There were even some sergeants who shouted "fire fighting" but could not do anything. The reason is that although the moat is not far away, there is a lack of tools to transport water.

Xin Yu didn't care about what happened to the other brothers, and he and Yan Feng also joined the ranks of "chasing and killing". However, they cut down the sergeants who didn't have time to put on their uniforms, and naturally shouted "Meticulous work is here!" ”

What a great responsibility for the loss of grain and grass! Some of the sergeants were stunned and shocked when they heard that there was a fire, and some of them did not even wear all their clothes. Xin Yu and Yan Feng focused on taking care of these people.

Bigger chaos ensued. First of all, those who wore military uniforms cut indiscriminately those who did not wear military uniforms, and those who did not wear military uniforms were unwilling to be killed, and raised knives to resist. In the same camp, there are many people who know each other, and then there are people who wear military uniforms to help those who do not wear military uniforms to fight against others. Later, even Xin Yu and Yan Feng were stunned.

Xin Yu and the others certainly had plans to burn the other party's grain and grass, but they thought that they were not very successful, so they were determined to die, and they could burn as much as they could, and kill as much as they could. Unexpectedly, the Western Xia sergeant himself actually got into chaos.

In the chaos, I don't know who shouted, "Bomb the camp!" "The sergeants are even more panicked, everyone is blindly killing people, and they don't know who they killed. All the sergeants were blood-red, desperately slashing at the opponent in front of them. The instinctive sense of self-protection makes them think that only by killing the person in front of them can they have the possibility of survival.

Xin Yu and Yan Feng were both attacked several times, and they were all bloody.

"Boss!" Two topless men rushed over. When Xin Yu saw it, he was overjoyed, it was two of his subordinates.

"Quick, change your clothes, kill over there! Burn grain! Xin Yu slashed over a sergeant with a knife and said in a low voice.

"Can't fight!" Xin Yu added another sentence, immediately picked up a torch, and rushed towards the grain depot that had not yet been lit.
