At night, Weishui enters the south bank of the Yellow River estuary, Guangtong warehouse, most of the defenders go to sleep, only the sentries are shaking their spirits to watch the night, and then they continue to doze off, and the tall granaries stand in the night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not far from the warehouse is a water canal, named Guangtong Canal, which is the artificial canal dug by the people of the Sui State, from the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City to follow the old road of the Cao Canal of the Han Dynasty and enter the Yellow River in the east.

Guanzhong is known as the fertile field, but the land is narrow and the people are numerous, the production is not enough for the Beijing division Chang'an, and often suffers from drought, the grain is insufficient, and the Kanto region needs to transport grain and grass into the customs, if it is very troublesome to take the land route, so it is mostly transported in the form of water transportation.

There is Weishui in the north of Chang'an, but the water potential is impermanent, the flow is shallow and the sand is deep, and often blocks the Cao Yun, so the Sui Emperor ordered in the third year of the emperor's reign to order the prince Zuo Shu Zi Yu Wenkai to lead the water workers to open another Cao Canal.

From the northeast of Chang'an City to lead Weishui, all the way to the east to the Yellow River, more than 300 miles long, the name of the canal, since then the Cao Yun Tongli, in addition to the danger of the pillar of Sanmenxia can not be navigated by boat, from Tongguan to Guanzhong Cao Yun is very convenient.

The Guangtong Warehouse at the Guangtong Canal and Weikou hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, which was originally to be sent to Chang'an, but only because the Zhou army broke through Chang'an a year ago, the situation was critical, and the defenders of Guangtong Cang even thought about setting fire to the warehouse to avoid the grain falling into the hands of the Zhou army.

Fortunately, reinforcements from all over the city gathered outside Chang'an, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, led the Bingzhou army to the west, and after crossing the river from Pujin to the west bank, he divided his troops to assist in the defense, and Guangtongcang became the supply place of grain and grass for the army.

The officers and soldiers are under the city of Chang'an, most of the grain and grass are supplied by Guangtong warehouse, and here is not far from Tongguan in the southeast, Huazhou in the west, Tongzhou in the northwest, once there is something, the three parties echo, and there is the state army of the defense of the state, which can be described as impregnable.

"So you said we were on duty in the middle of the night, what kind of tossing and turning!" A sentry and his companion complained that the spring was cold, and the wind was cold at night, so they could not make a fire to keep warm, but could only boil hard.

"Be quiet, don't let the team hear."

"What's the matter, I'm not wrong, where did Zhou Jun come from? Where can it come from? Tell me about it. ”

"Isn't there a lot of mountain roads in this Qinling Mountains?"

"There are many mountain roads that can cross the Qinling Mountains, there may be only a few soldiers and horses, the officers and soldiers have long been guarded, and the other roads that can be walked are often beaten to death, this kind of road is only taken by merchants and mountain people, how can the army come?

The sentinels complained, Guangtong Cang was solid, it was really boring to be on duty all day, and the warehouse officials were still good at talking, after all, they were all acquaintances, and everything was accommodating, but the generals of the Bingzhou Army who assisted in the defense were not so easy to speak, and they would be scolded if they were not satisfied.

"They beat and scold all day long, are they here to help defend or to make a fortune?"

"It's stupid, of course, the state army came here to assist in defense, but I'm afraid it's my own family."

"Defend your own family? What do we have to defend against? ”

"Stupid! We really don't have anything to guard against, think about it, the emperor is gone, and who doesn't want to sit on an empty throne? If you want to fight for that position, you have to have soldiers, and if you want to use soldiers, you have to have grain and grass, and there are so many grains and grass in Guangtong Warehouse, who doesn't want it? ”

"So what do we do in case of a fight?"

"What to do? The grain and grass belong to the government, and the life is their own, no matter who comes to fight, won't they just kneel and pout their butts and surrender? You say yes, right? Hey, hey! What to see! ”

One of the sentries looked in the direction of the wilderness in a daze, and the other two looked in the direction, only to see that there seemed to be a fire in the dark field, which was erratic and emitted a faint green light.

"It's... This..."

"Don't point fingers, you'll have bad hands!"

"How could it be, how could it be, how could there be such a thing!"

"Don't say it, don't look at it, just pretend you didn't see it!"

"Then do you want to report to Shangguan?"

"Your brain is broken, tell the official! What do you say? Say you saw that thing? If Shangguan asks you to go out and have a look, will you go or not? ”

A few people didn't dare to look out anymore, and looked down at the ground one by one, pretending that the fire outside did not exist, and no one dared to provoke those unclean things.

This is too evil, but it is said that when the imperial court excavated the Guangtong Canal, many lonely graves of unknown ages were dug up, and the bones were thrown to the ground, some were taken away by wild dogs, and some were exposed to the wind and rain.

Thinking of this, everyone only felt that their whole bodies were cold, but fortunately, those things were hanging outside, and there was no meaning of "coming in", but in a trance, some vague shadows were reflected around the firelight.

What's that? What else could it be!

The sentinels didn't dare to look at it anymore, but they just closed their eyes and kept chanting "Amitabha Buddha" in their hearts, and they all made up their minds to go to the temple tomorrow to burn incense and ask the Buddha for their blessings, and by the way, ask for an amulet or something.

I don't know how long it took, the southeast wind rose, and I had the courage to look out again, and found that those things were actually floating towards Guangnan Cang, and what was even more frightening was that many black shadows also followed.

"Shoot... Shoot... Shoot the arrows, shoot them, you shoot them! ”

"Why do you want me to shoot arrows, you also have bows and arrows in your hands, will it be unlucky to shoot them!"

"Don't be verbose, they're all coming here... Yes!! ”

The bowstring sounded, and one of the sentries at the head of the wall fell from an arrow, and the rest of the sentries were so frightened that they were incoherent: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts who have killed people!" ”

The shout was terrible, and then disappeared, and the feather arrows that followed shot them down, and this inexplicable shout made the soldiers patrolling in the Guangtong warehouse a little inexplicable, and when they reacted, the opportunity was gone.

Touching the Hulin army outside the wall of Guangtongcang, he threw out the iron claws with rope ladders to hook the head of the city, and then climbed up neatly, and when the rest of the sentries sounded the trumpet to warn, they had already touched the gate, cut down the defenders and cut the big lock with an axe, and pulled the bolt off to open the gate.

The large army then swarmed in and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders, all of whom wore skull masks and looked terrifying in the dim light of the fire, and then lit torches and began to set fire to the large granary in the Guangtong Warehouse.

The gong sounded, and the panicked defenders rushed over, but they were outnumbered but no match for these attackers.

Thanks to good nutrition and training, the eyesight of all soldiers is not affected at night, not to mention that the individual combat skills are not weak, and they are now fighting in groups of three to kill the enemy.

Spears, bows and arrows, knives and cards, long and short combined with both attack and defense, although there are no cavalry, but they are unstoppable when they rush, wielding various weapons, howling and approaching the defenders.

Without dodging the arrows, he crashed directly into the crowd, slashing with his knife and splashing blood, this crazy way of attacking collapsed the first counterattack organized by the defenders in a hurry, and then chased all the way away, causing an even greater collapse.

The division of labor in the Tiger Forest Army was clear, with a group of people responsible for attacking the defenders' garrisons, a group of people responsible for suppressing the defenders who came to aid them, and a group of people responsible for arson.

The first granary was lit into a sky-high fire, looking at this spectacular super torch, Yu Wenwen was very satisfied, he personally led the troops to attack the Guangtong warehouse, and most of the things have been successful so far.

The Sogdian merchant Anturo, whose family lived in Tongzhou, Guanzhong, was not far from this Guangtong warehouse, and in order to save the clansmen trapped in Chang'an, he made a deal with Yuwen Wen, who was also a profiteer.

The other party provided a route, a route to cross the Qinling Mountains and go out of the mountains near Tongguan, this road is not an official road, except for the mountain people and a small number of traders, basically no one walks, so the march has the effect of surprise.

The cost was that there were a lot of attritions caused by non-combat casualties, and he couldn't take the cavalry, so Yu Wenwen chose to gamble and put on the old bottom to gamble.

Marching at night is not a problem, walking on mountain roads at night is not a big problem, and pretending to be a ghost with "phosphorus fire" is a trick that is tired of daily courage training, and the hard training of the Tiger Forest Army for many years has finally paid off.

"I said the shopkeeper, can a pair of feet stand it?"

"Guogong, I have been doing business with my family since I was a child, so I can naturally stand it."

"You've only walked three times and memorized that road for twenty years, which is really a good memory."

"This is how you have to do business."

Dressed in black and masked, Anturo quietly looked at the ignited Guangtong Cang, as a guide, he led Yuwen Wen and the Hulin army to cross the Qinling Mountains and attacked, the strength of this army marching and fighting at night really made him admire.

What made him admire even more was Yu Wenwen's thoughts, along the way, Yu Wenwen made him cover his face, and he was always called "Ping Shopkeeper", which was to hide the characteristics of the Sogdians and minimize the risk of implicating the people of the Zhou'an clan.

The sound of the gong sounded, it was the defenders calling for help to Tongguan in the southeast and Huazhou in the west, in fact, the gong may not be heard in those places, but the sky-high fire has said everything: Guangtongcang was attacked.

"Add more fire, and before the reinforcements arrive, there will be a fire dragon to burn the warehouse!"

After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he looked at the night sky on the west side, and Chang'an was nearly three hundred miles away in that direction.

"King Qin's army? If there is no food, I will see what you will do! (To be continued.) )
