Chapter 68: Siege in the Night
There was jubilation in the green pine valley, and everyone's faces were full of joy.
Fang Tao and Chang Shen returned victoriously, and there were no casualties in Qingsong Valley, which greatly inspired the soldiers of Qingsong Valley.
It was getting late, Zhang Song carefully selected one hundred and twenty soldiers, gathered one hundred and twenty horses, and led them to Yongping County by Fang Tao, Chang Shen, He Qinghong, and Kong Yi.
Before leaving, Zhang Song specially told Zhong Lei and Liu Liusheng, asking the two to pay close attention to Yu Minzhi and Yu Xinzhi and others, as well as the movements of the captives.
After the iron guy took the soldiers to change into new weapons, he stood aside, Zhang Song beckoned the iron guy to come over, and said a few words to him, the iron guy listened, asked Zhong Lei for ten people with a serious face, and quietly went back to the iron smelting field.
The last person to confess was Zhou Fang, Zhang Song had only one request, let Zhou Fang send people to put all the grain into storage, except for designated personnel, other personnel were not allowed to enter the grain warehouse, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
After reviewing the team again and making sure that all the weapons and equipment were brought together, Zhang Song ordered the team to be pulled.
One hundred and twenty people, divided into two teams, held torches and quietly marched towards Yongping County in the night.
"Zhang Jun, I originally wanted to capture two Flying Dragon Thief captives, but the Flying Dragon Thief Prisoners resisted very stubbornly and did not surrender at all, otherwise we can use the method of attacking Xidong and Huayang, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to enter the county seat." Chang said with deep regret.
"How tenacious is the Wyvern Thief?" Zhang Song asked.
"How tenacious? When the dragon thieves saw that there were too many of us to defeat us, they did not defend at all, and attacked desperately, trying to die with our soldiers. If we hadn't brought enough soldiers with us today, it is estimated that many of us would have been injured. Chang Shen sighed.
"Huh." Zhang Song sneered, "Tenacious, that is, they have suffered not enough failures, as long as they fight steadily step by step, and defeat them again and again, they will eventually find that no matter how hard the backbone is, it can't be harder than a steel knife!" ”
Zhang Song's voice landed soundly, and the soldiers in Qingsong Valley were still a little uneasy, but now after listening to Zhang Song's words, he touched the brand-new steel knife on his body, and inexplicably gave birth to courage, and even the slightest uneasiness disappeared.
In fact, in the world where Zhang Song was in his previous life, the Japanese army and the German army in World War II were tenacious enough, but when they met a more powerful army, didn't they have to sink into the sand? Is it not the same to surrender?
As long as I am alive in this world, then I will definitely break the backbone of the Flying Dragon Thief, Zhang Song thought with a sneer in his heart.
"Did you hear that? Let's follow Zhang Jun today and smash the backbone of the Flying Dragon Thief! Chang Shen shouted loudly.
"I heard you!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and their morale was high.
"For the Wyvern Thieves, we don't want to take prisoners, we will kill them all!" Following Zhang Song's instructions, Chang Shen shouted again.
"Yes!"
There was no moon in the sky today, and it was pitch black all around, so the speed of the team in Qingsong Valley was a little slower, and according to the current speed, it was estimated that it should be able to reach the outside of Yongping County at midnight.
"Fang Tao, how is the construction of the training ground?" Zhang Song asked.
"It's already built. It will be ready for use in two days. Fang Tao replied.
"The training of the team should still be tightened and not slackened!" Zhang Songdao.
"But is your training method effective?" Fang Tao asked.
"This is the training method left by Sun Wu, do you say it is effective?" Zhang Song hesitated for a moment and said.
Zhang Song's hesitation, Fang Tao and Chang Shen and the others all saw it, but they thought that Zhang Song was hesitating about whether to divulge the secret.
Hearing that it was the training method left by Sun Wu, Fang Tao's doubts soon disappeared, but he regarded it as a treasure.
"We must train our soldiers in this way, and we must do a good job of secrecy." Fang Tao said.
Approaching midnight, the team of Qingsong Valley finally arrived in the dense forest outside Yongping County. Chang Shen ordered everyone to dismount and extinguish the torches.
The county seat of Yongping stands there quietly, and in the dark night, you have to keep your eyes open to see its outline faintly.
"Let's send ten people over first, from climbing over the city wall into Yongping County, killing the flying dragon thieves who are guarding and patrolling the city, open the city gate, use torches to signal, the people here will enter the city as soon as possible and as quietly as possible, after entering the city, leave ten people to guard the city gate, and the others will all go to the residence of the flying dragon thief." Zhang Song arranged Chang Shen, Fang Tao, Kong Yi, and He Qinghong around him.
"I'll take someone with me, I've calculated the time between the Wyvern Bandits' patrols, and I'll be able to climb the city wall without alerting the Wyvern Bandits." Chang Shen took the initiative to ask Zhang Song.
"Okay, be careful not to alarm the Flying Dragon Thieves, otherwise we will forcibly attack the city, and our strength is not enough to forcibly capture Yongping County." Zhang Song instructed.
Subsequently, Chang Shen selected Kong Yi and other ten people, brought the iron claws and ropes and torches to climb the city wall, and quietly walked towards Yongping County in the dark.
In the dark night, even if Chang Shen's eyesight is excellent, he can only vaguely see a little shadow of the road, and the condition of the road is not clear at all.
When Chang Shen and the others arrived at the city wall, they happened to meet the patrolling dragon thieves passing by the top of the city wall, and the torches held by the dragon thieves illuminated the top of the city wall in the dark night, and Chang Shen and the others estimated the height of the city wall.
After the patrolling dragon thieves passed, Chang Shen made a gesture, and the ten of them threw their iron claws towards the city wall together.
"Clank!"
The sound of the iron claw falling to the top of the city wall was heard clearly by Chang Shen and the others who were under the city wall.
"Who!"
The patrolling Wyvern Thieves heard the movement and came over again with torches. Kong Yi and the others lay under the city wall, not daring to move.
"Oh, where is there anyone in the middle of the night, it must be a movement made by a mouse or something, let's go, go back and drink the fire." One of the dragon thieves persuaded.
The Wyvern Thief took a few more steps forward, and was about to reach the place where the Iron Claw had fallen, when he suddenly stopped and walked back.
"That's right, there won't be anyone, let's go!"
Kong Yi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Chang Shen calculated the time in his heart, and after the flying dragon on patrol was far away, he gestured to a few people. Kong Yi and the others followed Chang Shen to climb up the city wall.
Up to the city wall, Chang Shen looked left and right, found the hidden gap that Li Shan took them out of last time, waved his hand, and quickly went over there with his waist bent.
After descending the city wall, Chang Shen and the others hid on the edge of a house and observed the city gate.
I saw that the torches at the gate of the city were swaying in the cold wind at this time, and there were five dragon thieves shrunk and hid in the shelter from the wind, and there was a fire in the shelter, and there was a few cases next to the fire, and some food was piled up on the cases, and the five dragon thieves were eating food.
Kong Yi saw the situation clearly, and was about to rush towards the Flying Dragon Thief. Chang Shen grabbed Kong Yi and said in a low voice: "Wait, there should be more than these few people." ”
As soon as Chang Shen's words fell, he saw three flying dragon thieves coming down the stairs with torches.
"Come on, come on, just wait for the three of you." One of the Wyvern Thieves was impatient, and then shook and sat and snoozed on the ground, "Wake up, here we go." ”
"You're as anxious as a monkey!"
A dragon thief who came down the stairs laughed and cursed as he sat down next to a few cases.
"Is there anything on the walls?"
"What's the matter, let me tell you, we're asleep here today, and we'll be fine, can you believe it?"
"That's not good, the rules that should be followed still have to be followed."
That being said, the eight Wyvern thieves had visibly let their guard down, and they placed their weapons in a place at the foot of the city walls, and feasted around a few cases.
Chang Shen calmly watched the Flying Dragon Thief eat and drink while talking and laughing, while calculating the time in his heart.
When the eight Wyvern thieves were drunk, Chang Shen pointed to Kong Yi at the pile of weapons at the foot of the city wall, and asked Kong Yi to rush there first to prevent the Wyvern thieves from picking up weapons.
Chang Shen drew a circle with his hand towards the nine people who followed, and then whispered "go".
The ten men rushed towards the ten dragon thieves at the gate of the city.
The eight flying dragon thieves may have just been guarding against the outside of the county, but they didn't expect that there would be people in the county who dared to attack them, and they didn't even notice the arrival of Chang Shen and the others for a while, and they didn't find out until they arrived.
The ten people of the Green Pine Valley kept in mind Zhang Song's teachings - don't take prisoners, so they showed no mercy, and the weapons in their hands went straight to the place where the Flying Dragon Thief died.
The eight Flying Dragon Thieves barely had time to get up before they were killed by Chang Shen and the others and fell in a pool of blood, without even making a sound to report the news.
Looking at the few flying dragon thieves who were struggling silently in a pool of blood, the soldiers who followed Chang Shen and Kong Yi were stunned, and only after a moment, their faces showed ecstasy.
"Don't make a sound!" Chang Shen sternly stopped a few soldiers who wanted to laugh, "Open the city gate and report to Zhang Jun in the agreed way!" ”
Zhang Song and Fang Tao hid in the trees with their soldiers, patiently waiting for Chang Shen's signal.
Just when Fang Tao ordered the soldiers to be quiet for the third time, torches were lit at the gate of Yongping County, and the torches showed the signal agreed with Chang Shen.
"Get on the horse! Ignite the torch! Let's go! ”
Zhang Song's command was concise and powerful.
One hundred and ten people rode towards Yongping County, and the speed was extremely fast.
"He Qinghong, you take nine other people to stay and guard the city gate, and you are not allowed to let one out of the city, no matter who it is, those who want to go out of the city will be killed! The others follow me. ”
Zhang Song stopped at the city gate, and after issuing the order, he led the team straight to the residence of the Flying Dragon Thief.
At night, the streets of Yongping County were empty, and the team led by Zhang Song passed quickly with torches. In the silent night sky, the sound of horses' hooves pierced people's hearts, and many people were awakened from their sleep.
When he was about to arrive at the residence of the Wyvern Thief, Zhang Song ordered the soldiers to be quiet and quietly surrounded the Dyngoy Thief's residence.
