Chapter 179 Today is a good day

Generally speaking, after knowing the location of the enemy's rations, what will our army do: don't say anything, burn it.??? That's what Cao Mengde did in Guandu back then, and he shouted quite arrogantly: If the enemy pokes your chrysanthemum (the original words refer to the buttocks), you have to burn it first.

Xiao Dilie listened to the scout's report, saying that the grain and grass of the Zhou army was in Jin'an Town, on the bank of the Liuli River, 3o miles south of Zhuozhou City. The granary of the Zhou army was discovered so quickly, which surprised Xiao Dilie in his heart. He couldn't help but ask again and again. It turns out that the granary of the Zhou army is very different from others, and the granary of the general army is specially found to find a place to build the granary by itself. The Zhou army, on the other hand, drove the people out and used the people's homes as granaries. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhou army would now start to transfer grain to Cangzhou, the Khitan scouts would not be easy to appear. Next, another scout went to reconnoitre, and it became clear that Jin'an Town was indeed the granary of the Zhou army. However, time waits for no one, and the Zhou army seems to be moving the people to carry grain and grass.

Xiao Dilie's eyes narrowed slightly, and those who were familiar with him knew that once this guy's eyes narrowed, he must have wanted to kill people and set fire. The military information sent back by the scouts showed that the cavalry units of the Zhou army had advanced to Liangxiang, and the main force of the infantry army had entered the city of Zhuozhou for correction. There were only more than 1,000 Zhou troops left behind in Jin'an Town, and only a few hundred sergeants escorted grain and grass along the way.

Xiao Dilie immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he can reduce the granary of the Zhou army with one fire, the first credit for defeating the Zhou army will be his own. As for why the granary of the Zhou army is so easy to find, it is also easy to understand for Xiao Dilie, Nanjing has not been able to fight for a long time, and the entire sixteen states of Yanyun are in a state of aphasia in the face of the invasion of the Zhou army, and it is inevitable that the Zhou army's vigilance will decline, besides, if it is not for the transportation of grain, it is not easy to find. As for the fact that it is now carrying grain and grass, there may be two reasons, one is because the main force of the Zhou army is about to move north, and it needs to move the grain and grass forward, and the second is because the Zhou army also knows that an army has come out of the city of Nanjing. The cavalry disappeared except for Nanjing City, which made the top brass of the Zhou army immediately realize that this army must have come to cut off the back road. There is a reasonable explanation for his transfer of the granary.

Xiao Dilie is not an indecisive person, plus time waits for no one. After hesitating for a while, the granary moved to Cangzhou City, and he looked for someone to cry to. Xiao Dilie immediately made a decision, threw away his eyes and looked at his Anci County county order, and galloped towards Jin'an Town with a well-corrected army.

Right now, Jiangnan is in the rainy season, and the roads are muddy. But in the north, the sun is scorching, and the cicadas are constantly singing. The Liuli River flows south from the source of Dafang Mountain in the north, stretches for more than 100 miles, and then flows into the Daqing River. This Liu Li River is not a big river of the Yangtze River, the river surface is only tens of meters wide, the water potential is slow, and the bottom can be seen clearly. Xiao Dilie crossed the Liuli River with his 1ooooo cavalry, and walked more than ten miles to Jin'an Town.

At this time, the sun is moving westward, but it is far from the point of going down. Today's weather is good, the air is relatively dry, and there is still a gust of wind blowing, which is especially suitable for arson. If the singers of later generations were to cross over, they would definitely be tempted to sing: Today is a good day.

Burning grain is a sneak attack, and it is generally done at night. Why? Because the darkness of the night is enough to disguise the actions of the army. But today Xiao Dilie is different, Zhou Jun has already begun to carry grain and grass, and he is waiting until the evening, maybe he will be empty all of a sudden. Although it is easy to be exposed by Zhou Jun in broad daylight, it doesn't matter, anyway, he is just sabotaging and setting fire, not attacking the city. Besides, the cavalry of the Zhou army is far away in Liangxiang, and they run away after setting fire to themselves, how can the two-legged Zhou army chase their four-legged ones?

This Jin'an town is located in the southeast of Zhuozhou, the town is quite large, there are hundreds of households, the right side is the narrow Liu Li River, the left side is a large wasteland, far west, there is a large forest. This Jin'an town is the only way for Zhuozhou to pass through the three passes. The official road is wide, and there is no problem at all with the four horses. In addition, both sides of the pipeline are abandoned land, which is not conducive to farming, and there are large areas of wild grass, which are very barren, which also gives Xiao Enemy Lie the opportunity to march. It is extremely convenient to sprint with a whip on a horse.

Closer, even the wheelbarrow carrying grain was faintly visible, and to the northwest of the town, hundreds of people were pushing the wheelbarrow slowly. At this time, there was a gong sound in Jin'an Town, and the people outside the town could no longer care about transporting grain, so they threw down the wheelbarrow and ran towards the outside of the town, and soon there was a wheelbarrow left! Obviously, at the same time that Xiao Dilie was transporting grain, the Zhou army also showed Xiao Dilie's army.

There's not much more to say. Baba ran so far just to prevent fire. Xiao Dilie's spear was shot into the air, and Dasheng shouted: "Rush, set fire to the grain!" ”

The "pop" horse whip waved sharply, the "da-da-da" horses' hooves flew, and the war horses galloped towards Jin'an Town. Since Xiao Dilie came to set fire to food, flammable and explosive materials, he had already prepared. Seeing that they had arrived at the land of an arrow, the Khitan soldiers bent their bows and arrows one after another, "whooshing" sharp arrows, and shot towards Jin'an Town.

If you are going to ask, why not put rockets? The reason is just two words: trouble! Xiao Dilie planned it this way, I put the enemy down first, then rushed in, and then threw torches on the granary, isn't this smooth? If you put rockets, you have to use flint to ignite the fire while bending the bow and arrows, and the Khitan people are not "three hands", he is not enough.

Seeing the rain of arrows like springs, overwhelmingly shooting over, this scene is similar to "Hero" in "Is the king stupid?" "It's exactly the same. Zhou Junyi is not a scarecrow who borrows arrows from a straw boat, not an unknown person at the moment, so naturally he will not stand stupidly as an arrow target. This is the town, and the big guys have a lot behind the houses. The official road to enter the town was immediately given up. "Knock knock" The town was noisy with war drums, and there was a shout of killing.

In fact, this is a town, not a county seat, but there is no city. This official road is like a town's road, but this is not the only way to enter Jin'an Town, and there are many twists and turns. Even if the Zhou army fought desperately at the official road crossing, the Khitan army could still enter from the field next to it.

In fact, Zhou Jun did the same, some rushed to the official road, and some rushed in from all sides. After galloping for a while, the horses began to exert their strength, running faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye they reached the edge of Jin'an Town.

"Neigh~~~" Accompanied by the neighing of horses, bursts of dust flew up. Zhou Jun is so obscene, and they have dug a lot of traps around this Jin'an Town. The Khitan army rushed to the front, and for a while they fell into the trap without paying attention to the "poof". But even if they knew that their comrades had fallen into the trap, it was impossible for the next few to hang the trap and restrain their horses, and even if they held the reins and controlled the horses, the back behind didn't know what was going on in front of them, and they were squeezed into the trap.

"Puff~~~" "Neigh~~~" The mournful sound of the horses, mixed with the wailing of people, kept coming, but unfortunately, all this could not stop the Khitan army from moving forward. After all, the Zhou army had few people and the number of traps was not large, and it was quickly filled in under the successive efforts of the Khitans, and then the Khitans rushed in.

"Set fire! Set! Xiao Dilie, who rushed into Jin'an Town, shouted angrily. Before the Khitan army came, they also trained in arson, and now they are setting fires, which is quite familiar. Clusters of flames rose into the sky, and black smoke billowed out. made Xiao Dilie extremely proud in his heart, Lao Tzu succeeded, as long as there was one less fire in Jin'an Town. Even if Zhou Jun transferred some of the grain, it is estimated that it will not last long! The day of the addition of officials to the knighthood is approaching.

"Report! General Bing, the enemy in the town could no longer support it, and fled to the area of Liu Li River in a hurry. Please tell the general whether to pursue or not! A scout came running over to report.

"No need, set the fire and go back the way you came!" In order to enter the town, dozens of lives were wasted, and Xiao Dilie was not interested in filling in the trap again.

Looking at the thick black smoke, Xiao Dilie was extremely happy. But after a while, he couldn't help but cough, his throat was dry, and his eyes were red. It's so spicy, Xiao Dilie secretly thought, could it be that these Zhou people like to eat spicy. However, he lowered his head and scattered his eyes, and inadvertently glanced at the eaves that were spitting flames in mid-air not far away. He immediately looked up and around, and there were those with roofs on fire and the pillars of the hall on fire. Xiao Dilie's whole person was stunned. fooled!

The eaves are made of wood, so it's sure when it's easy to catch fire, but there's a process for the wood to catch fire. From setting fire to now it is only a cup of tea, so easy to burn to the eaves?

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Xiao Dilie shouted loudly. His own soldiers shouted along with him, hoping to spread the order as quickly as possible. Jin'an Town is very large, in order to seize the time to set fires and not give the Zhou army a chance to put out the fire, the Khitan army entered and then divided into poles, and it was not easy to accumulate troops in a short period of time. However, Xiao Dilie can't care so much, in addition to the army that entered the town, there are 7ooo people outside Jin'an Town. Even if you fold 3ooo people, you have to withdraw with a large army.

Xiao Dilie walked slowly, with the Khitan army he encountered along the way, stumbled out of the fire, turned his head and looked again, the entire Jin'an Town was already a sea of fire, and there were occasional wails. Xiao Dilie's whole person was furious, and a good 3,000 people entered to set fire, but it turned into playing with fire, and few people came out alive.

"Da Da Da!" The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves rang out from the west.
