Chapter 511: Burning the granary

The next day, Zhao Gou led 10,000 people from Yingzhou and approached Yunzhou. At the same time, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi also set off one after another, and the generals led by Zhao Gou this time were still only Gao Chong, and the other generals were all handed over to Song Jiang and Lu Junyi.

After three days of marching, Zhao Gou's army camped a hundred miles away from Datong County, Yunzhou. At night, a black shadow appeared in Zhao Gou's tent, and he said respectfully: "My subordinates have seen the king of the county!" ”

"Brother Yanqing, don't come unharmed!" Zhao Gou hurriedly walked forward to the mountain, helped the people up, and said, "This way allows you to come day and night, it's really difficult for Brother Yanqing!" ”

Yan Qing said with a smile: "The king of the county has an order, how dare Yan Qing not come!" This time, I was ordered to come, and I was not allowed to tell the other brothers, is there anything important about the county king? ”

Zhao Gou replied: "It is precisely because of the big event that Brother Yanqing came!" ”

So, Zhao Gou told the ins and outs of the matter, and Yan Qing knew that there must be something important when he came.

"What does the king mean to burn the enemy's grain and grass?" Zhao Gou nodded.

Yan Qing continued: "There are our spies in Datong County, but we have not found the granary for a long time, and even the deployment of troops has only been partially traced, and the specific number of them is not yet known. ”

"If we act rashly, I am afraid that the intelligence network that has been managed with great difficulty will inevitably suffer a severe blow."

"I don't know!" Zhao Gou sighed, "The method used now can only be like this, take advantage of it to burn down the granary unexpectedly, so that you can have a chance to capture Yunzhou." If it is attacked, there will be countless casualties, and the only way to cut off its food and grass is the best policy! ”

Yan Qing said in a deep voice: "King Jun, what do you want to do?" ”

"How many of our people are there in Yunzhou now?"

"More than 100 people!"

"How's the martial arts?"

"If it's one-on-one, I'm afraid it's a fight with me."

"Since this is the case, Brother Yan Qing immediately sent an order for them to act immediately and start exploring the location of the granary. As soon as you find it, deploy everything and immediately set fire to the granary. ”

Then, Yan Qing retreated, and he secretly flew pigeons to pass the book and gave them the code. Although these people's martial arts are not bad, it is simply impossible to use more than 100 people to confront the enemy. Therefore, Yan Qing asked them to investigate the situation while they were operating, and they must find out and confirm before they can start.

At the same time, the Yunzhou spies received an order from Yan Qing, and they immediately set about acting. Whether it was Datong County or other counties, they all groped through, and even followed behind other generals to observe secretly, but still found no trace.

Perhaps the Yunzhou guards knew the importance of the granary, so they spent seven days, but they still disappeared until a month passed. The spies finally explored the location of the granary, and Yelu, the general of Yunzhou, successfully dispersed the granary and gathered in the two county towns of Huairen County and Tiancheng County.

Moreover, the location of the granary was extremely secretive, and they did not set the granary in the city, but stored the grain in a cave in the mountain, and hollowed out the cave, similar to a cellar. All the grain and grass were stored in the cellar, and the guards around it did not seem to have many people, but in fact they were heavily guarded.

"Boss, now that we know where the granary is, when is the next move?"

The man whispered, "We know the granary, so let's do it tomorrow; In addition, we also spread information about this place out of the city. ”

"Now the city is heavily guarded, and only entry and exit are allowed. If you rush out of the city, it will definitely not work, and the flying pigeon will pass the book, the goal is too big! ”

"The only way now is to get the information out by water!"

"Waterways? Boss I think this method will not work, you must know that earlier in the day, our army led a large army to cut off the river, and the Yunzhou army also sent people to conquest, and the two sides started a big battle. If you are not mistaken, there must be Liao army spies on both sides of the river. ”

"If there is no waterway, then we will block the news!" The man said in a deep voice, "If the granary is burned, it will surely be in flames, and we must leave one of us here." Because the granary was burned at that time, it must have alarmed the Liao army, so that the situation would be chaotic, and the news would be spread out when the time came. ”

After everyone discussed, they thought about it, and there was only this way, and they all knew that this would be more than lucky. Therefore, the last person left behind is directly arranged by God, that is, to be decided by lottery, whoever wins the lottery will stay, and the others will not complain.

When the Song army spies quietly approached Huairen and Tiancheng counties, they divided into two routes, bringing tung oil and flint. However, acting at the same time will expose the target, and only one or two people will really execute, and the rest will be released and defended.

Before they acted, they had already figured out when the soldiers would change their guards, and which ones were soldiers and which were civilians. Because of this, they move somewhat quickly. Taking advantage of the gap between the soldiers' change of guards, they crept forward, lowered their bodies again, and reached the granary as fast as they could.

Because they were trained by Yan Qing and others, there were also training methods written by Zhao Gou. Therefore, their movements are more like special forces, even if they do not use words, they can use gestures to issue orders, and cooperate with each other.

When they approached the granary, they looked around again, and then left most of the people to observe, and a small number of people entered the granary, and when they saw the mountains of grain, their hearts were shocked, and they thought of burning all the grain, and they could not help but feel a little distressed, but they had to do it for the sake of victory in the war.

So, they poured all the tung oil on the grain and grass, and then lit the torch with a fire breaker and threw it directly. Then, they quickly evacuated, moving quickly. It's a pity that they are very secret, and the moment they burn the grain and grass, the fire is full of fire.

Suddenly, the Liao soldiers woke up suddenly, and they quickly came to the granary. Sure enough, I saw a group of black-clothed people exploring the granary at night, and watched the raging fire burning, hurriedly beating gongs and drums. Then, they fought it first.

They fought and retreated, because they knew that they were not the opponents of the Liao army, and if they lasted for a long time, it would be a dead end. However, the Liao soldiers rushed up, where to give them a chance to escape, all blocked the road, and reinforcements came one after another, and they were isolated and gradually exhausted.

At the same time, the granary of Tiancheng County also suffered the same blow. Although all the assassins who burned down the granary were killed, it was a pity that the granary had been burned down and could not be saved. Suddenly, Tiancheng and Huairen were in flames, and the spies who stayed in Datong County saw the flames and immediately took action, ready to pass on the news.
