Chapter 440: Going East Can Turn Over the Yalu River 14
Manu hurriedly came out after hearing the loud noise in front of the street, Yelu Aguzhe sent him to garrison Xianghe, and now that Wansheng's army has conquered Guoyin City in the west and Sanhe City in the north, of course he does not dare to take it lightly.
Manu rushed to the middle of the courtyard, the first thing that came into his eyes was a huge, silver-white, sun-like monster floating in the air, the monster also had a golden black pattern on it, Manu's legs trembled, almost knelt down and bowed, but suddenly saw the smoke rising from the grain depot in front of him, Manu then remembered that even if the monster in mid-air was a divine beast, it was not to bless himself, but to harm himself.
The height of the monster, Manu can see at a glance, it is just over the range of the bow and arrow, and it can't be hurt with the bow and arrow, so it's important to fight the fire.
Manu shouted, and led the men straight to the grain depot. The county government was only a few yards away from the grain depot, and when Manu arrived, the soldiers outside the grain depot could no longer enter the yard and were pouring water into the yard.
Manu did not believe in evil, so he stepped forward to the gate of the courtyard and wanted to kick the gate open, "General, no! The soldiers in the back exclaimed. Manu turned a deaf ear, kicked the gate open, and was about to let people go in to put out the fire, when the flames in the yard "poofed" and threw Manu to the ground at once.
Manu's soldiers hurriedly ran over and dragged Manu away, and Manu sat up on the ground, only to see that the ground in the courtyard was beginning to catch fire, and there was no place to stay. It turned out that the last thing Gao Shouxiao and the two shot down was some fire oil, sulfur, etc., which was the easiest to ignite.
The blackened-faced Manu looked at the skyrocketing fire in the courtyard of the granary, sat down on the ground in a daze, and just said, "Guard the four gates...... Hold on to the four gates ......"
Zhou Nan looked at the hot air balloon slowly floating over Xianghe City, although it was not the first time he used a hot air balloon to break the enemy, but he was just as happy. Just now, when Zhou Nan was waiting for Gao Shouxiao here with people, he saw the thick smoke billowing in Xianghe City, and then he saw a silver-white balloon floating over the city wall, not caring at all about the arrows of the enemy below.
"God car! Miracle car! The Eagle Guards and the pro-army guards saw Gao Shouxiao floating safely in a hot air balloon, and the fire in Xianghe City was rising again, and they shouted loudly with joy.
"Da Lang, the grain depot is burning!" Zuo Xiaosi happily said to Zhou Nan, "When are you going to attack Anci City?" Seeing that Gao Shouxiao had made the first contribution this time, and he was still using a magic car, Zuo Xiaosi asked impatiently. Ancicheng was explored by him, and if he wanted to attack Ancicheng, of course, he took people there.
"It's coming. When the people in Xianghe City are hungry and run away, the next one is Anci City. Zhou Nan said with a grin. In such a lonely city, it is winter, if the grain and grass in the granary are burned, I am afraid that it will not last for ten days. Unless Jizhou or Ancicheng sent people to send grain to Xianghe City.
But Xiao Gan, the emperor of Xi State, would he have such a good heart to send grain and grass to Yelu Aguzhe's subordinates? Even if it is delivered, it will only be robbed by Gao Yuan, who is waiting halfway.
And although Yelu Aguzhe of Ancicheng wants to send grain over, he will also kill Yang Keshi halfway, besides, how much grain can there be in the small Ancicheng?
He had already instructed Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi that all those who ran out of Xianghe City would not be killed or stopped, regardless of whether they were asked, and let these people escape from Xianghe City. The defenders in Xianghe City are all hungry and run away, and Xianghe City will naturally be self-defeating, and you can get Xianghe City without breaking a single soldier. And those soldiers who fled to Jizhou or Anci City would only consume the grain and grass of Jizhou and Anci City faster. The final result was that the Xi army was sitting on empty mountains and was unable to fight.
This is still the case that he did not burn the grain depots of Jizhou and Ancicheng. If it is like Xianghe City, the grain depots of all the cities of the Xi army have been burned, and I am afraid that Xiao Gan will be hungry and surrender in the end.
Although there were many Xi soldiers, he only brought these thousands of men and horses, and when he burned the grain depot, he only brought more than 300 people. But he doesn't have to be afraid of Xi Jun, Xi Jun naturally knows that he has a lot of arrows here, and under normal circumstances, he doesn't dare to go out of the city and take the initiative to fight with him. Even if Xi Jun really wants to go out of the city to chase and kill himself, he doesn't have to fight hard with Xi Jun, just ride back to the city. He has food and drink in the city, and Xi Jun can't eat anymore, where is he still in the mood to attack the city? After all the calculations, I have won!
Moreover, without injuring a single soldier or a single soldier, without moving a knife or a single shot, all these states and counties occupied by the Xi army can be recovered. made Xi Jun desperate and had nowhere to go, and in the end, the 80,000 Xi army fell apart and fled back to his own Lulongling to be an ordinary person.
"Hahaha!" Thinking of this, Zhou Nan laughed and said loudly, "This time I burned the Xianghe grain depot, and I will celebrate with wine and meat when I return to the city!" ”
The soldiers have always been reluctant to march and fight, who knows if they can live after a war? Where is it like following the master of Dazhai now, who won the battle without fighting? These people are accustomed to fighting, so they naturally understand the truth that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved. Now that the fire burning in the grain depot in Xianghe City is like reaching the sky, are you still worried that the defenders of Xianghe are not hungry? If you are hungry for a few days, you won't have to fight this battle.
Only Zuo Xiaosi said depressedly: "Why don't you go to burn the Ancicheng grain depot tomorrow?" ”
The hot air balloon slowly began to land, and the Eagle Guards and a team of pro-army guards hurriedly rode to the landing site. Under the control of Gao Shouxiao, the hot air balloon had already withdrawn from the fire, but it still floated forward with the wind blowing.
Gao Shouxiao and his subordinates stood in the willow frame at this time, shouting excitedly to the people below, when the willow frame landed two or three zhang high, Gao Shouxiao threw down a rope, and the people below immediately pulled the rope and pulled the willow frame and the hot air balloon down. This method of landing is much faster than landing by a hot air balloon alone, and the willow frame does not have the downward impact when it lands on the ground.
As soon as the willow frame landed steadily, someone grabbed a rope on the side of the balloon and pulled the top of the balloon to the ground. As a result, the hot air in the balloon quickly escaped from the opening at the bottom, and the balloon immediately deflated and turned into a soft two-layer cowhide.
Zhou Nan watched as the Eagle Guards skillfully and quickly rolled up the balloon and put it on the horse's back, the willow frame was also folded together, and the small iron stove was also put in a wooden barrel and placed on the horse's back. From the start of the landing to the complete retraction of the hot air balloon, it will not take even half a column of incense.
After Gao Shouxiao got down from the willow frame, he ran in front of Zhou Nan first, and said, "Lord Dazhai, the grain depot of Xianghe City exploded with an arrow, and all the grain and grass were burned by rockets. Zhou Nan heard Gao Shouxiao confirm that the grain depot in Xianghe City was burned down, and said with a smile: "Your Gao Shouxiao drove a magic car to burn grain and grass, and it will spread all over Yandi tomorrow!" Gao Shouxiao said sincerely: "It all depends on the power of the god car of the lord of the village." ”
After everyone got on the horse, Zhou Nan shouted and led the people to rush to Guo Yincheng. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
