Chapter Fifty-Six: The Burning of Ulin
On September 29, Chu Luan, the scout battalion of Lin Yuyan's army, had already heard the news, so he turned back and reported to Lin Yuyan.
Now Jingling's old nest, although the North Wangjun rushed to take most of the people and horses, but there are still a lot of people and horses left in Jingling, there are more than 10,000 people, including 3,000 leather armor soldiers.
And the granary of Jingling is in Wulin, the location here is close to the north of Jingling, it seems that the northern king army is stocking grain here, most of which is to go to the northwest to throw the southern county Deng Guo.
"How many guards are there in the granary?!" Lin Yuyan asked.
Chu Luan replied: "There are a lot of people, there are thousands of leather armor soldiers, and these days are the season of grain delivery, and there are not a few guards in Wulin. ”
"What about the route?!"
"The terrain of Wulin is flat, the water system is developed, and most of its grain is transported by waterway, and most of the grain and grass hoarded in Wulin are collected from the south of the water, that is, the south of Chibi!"
"Chibi?!" Lin Yuyan was stunned again.
Chu Luan nodded: "Chibi is south of Chushui, and its mountain wall is red, so it is called Chibi." ”
When Lin Yuyan heard this, he raised his head, and then asked Chu Luan: "What is the direction of the wind blowing these days?" ”
Chu Luan looked at the movement of the clouds in the sky and said, "It's already autumn, and it's the northwest wind." ”
I won't borrow the east wind...... That's a pity! 〗
Lin Yuyan stared at the sky, thinking in her heart.
"That's not right!" Lin Yuyan reacted suddenly, and then asked Chu Luan, "Where are we currently in Wulin?" ”
"Our army came from the ancient city of Huarong, naturally to the north of Wulin."
"North ......" Lin Yuyan heard these two words, and there was a little playfulness in his eyes.
……
It was night, and in the hazy night, on the water, there were more than a dozen ships moving slowly, sailing towards Ulin.
There was a wolf Yantai on the water, and there were leather armor soldiers guarding the platform, and when they saw a boat coming, they asked, "Who is coming?" ”
A person on the bow of the boat replied: "We were sent by the Marquis of the Northwest Mountain Gate of Jingling to collect grain, and seeing that there was still moonlight on the night road, I hurried to hand over the grain." ”
When the leather armor soldiers heard this, they were defenseless, and let more than a dozen small boats march, just out of Wolf Yantai to check, but they didn't expect that a rain of arrows shot out of the dozen or so small boats, and directly shot the leather armor soldiers in Wolf Yantai.
"This [Divine Arm Crossbow] is really easy to use!"
It was naturally Chu Luan who spoke, and he touched the divine arm crossbow in his hand and exclaimed.
Jing Yi on the side also reminded him: "There are still two or three wolf Yantai, hurry up!" ”
Only then did Chu Luan place the Divine Arm Crossbow, and then recruited people to see if there was any life in this wolf Yantai, and after getting the answer, Chu Luan waved his hand and signaled to continue to move forward.
has walked to a water gate, the garrison leather armor soldiers are a little puzzled by the night so late that there are still people coming, but when I look up to see that the wolf Yantai in front of me is quiet, there is no warning meaning, and the person who came said that he came to pay the grain, and he opened the water gate at the moment.
As soon as he entered the water gate, the leather armor soldiers saw that the person got off the boat and went ashore, so he went over to prepare for the reception, but he didn't expect to get close to the person, he heard the sound of "Xiu" and "Xiu" twice, and noticed that something was wrong, but he was pierced by the person in two steps forward, and he was pierced in the heart!
Chu Luan let go of the mouth of the dead man in his hand, and dragged it behind a haystack somewhere and threw it down, and when the scout camp came up, Chu Luan said: "Most of these red-headed ghosts have already fallen asleep, and they have gone to the barracks and ended up with them!" ”
Immediately, the scout camp dispersed.
The second batch to go ashore was Jing Yi, and said: "Control this water gate, pick up the soldiers in, I'm afraid I'll have to finish for the scouts tonight!" ”
The footsteps of the scout camp subsided, this Ulin granary was indeed stationed with a lot of soldiers, but late at night, most of them were already asleep, leaving some of them to keep vigil carelessly.
The equipment used by the soldiers of the scout battalion was [Twelve Forged Daggers] and [Divine Arm Crossbows] and other sharp weapons.
Subsequently, several gates of the Wulin granary were already held, and the Beiwang army was stationed in the southeast of the granary, which was handed over to the scout battalion and the Zongwei, and the rest of the grain was carried into the grain field of the Wulin granary with dried firewood.
"It's a pity ......"
There are many people who saw so much food, and they were about to be ignited by the tongue of fire in their hands, and let out a sigh of emotion, when they were hungry in their hometowns in the past, they were afraid that it would be too late to take these grains home, and they would burn them?!
However, when I thought that the grain was no longer burned, it also fed the enemy's stomach, and they had strength, which was not a good thing for themselves and their relatives, and after thinking about the speed of arranging firewood and pouring fire oil, I had not yet let go.
In less than half an hour, these soldiers smelled the smell of blood in the air, and with such a strong smell of blood, I am afraid that there are not a few scout battalions and sect guards who have succeeded.
Chun Yuqi, who led these soldiers, saw that the time had come, and also said sharply: "Set fire!" ”
Suddenly, the Wulin granary was lit everywhere, and the fire spread very quickly, and soon a raging fire ignited.
Soon, the panicked voices of the Ulin granary sounded, and it was the Red Turban Army who were frightened by the sound of the raging fire.
Soon, however, their voices were extinguished in the flames, and the feathered army's spears had buried them all in the flames.
After a short time, Zong Wei and the scout battalion had already turned back to the gate of the Wulin granary, and all the places that could be lit were lit for him, and seeing that the fire was completely uncontrollable, he withdrew from the Wulin granary.
Directly opposite the Wulin granary, is the red cliff in the south of the water, Lin Yuyan, under the protection of Ji Wu and several Zongwei, saw that the Wulin granary was burning with a raging fire, and finally smiled.
Although this burning of Ulin does not have an army of 830,000 as a foil, it is enough to be able to burn the Northern King Army! 〗
"Your Highness, it's burning!" Ji Wu saw the fire on the side of the Wulin granary, and also reminded.
"See, this time we should also go to Wulin Road, that place is the only way for Jingling to come to Wulin, and when the soldiers of Jingling see the fire in Wulin, no matter what, they will rush here!"
"Hehe...... Ji Wuhan laughed twice, and then he was also gearing up, it seemed that he was not able to participate in the burning of Wulin, but he was suffocated.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yuyan reminded that he didn't have too high requirements for the next results, no matter what, this time the burning of the Wulin granary had completely cut off the supply of grain and grass for the [Northern Wang Army] to go to the Nanjun Deng Kingdom, and the rest was nothing more than icing on the cake.
This news should be sent back to Fandi to boost morale, and also to hit the morale of the [Shouwang Army]! 〗
