Chapter 357: Flames Spread Everywhere and Grain Burned
The silent night was awakened by this short, rapid shout, but the little leader who had screamed had fallen to the ground forever before he could finish speaking.
Of course, not only did the little leader fall to the ground, but as the little leader was shot to death, there were many feathered arrows shooting towards the four soldiers under the leader's command, and there was no chance for these rebel soldiers to react.
"Kill! Take it quickly, dare to resist, don't hesitate to kill! ”
With Fu Quan's order, the soldiers of the Han army who had endured for a long time shouted "kill" in unison, and then rushed towards the mountain bag in front, where dozens of rebel soldiers reacted at the moment, but to no avail, after all, the disparity in strength between the enemy and us is too great.
On the top of the mountain bag, there were only sporadic arrows shooting downward, which was the last resistance made by the rebel patrol soldiers who were not hit by the arrows in the first place, hiding behind the bunkers such as boulders and shrubs, but it was a pity that in front of the elite more than 2,000 Han soldiers, this resistance could not arouse any waves at all.
Guan Yu took the lead, and after slashing the last rebel hiding behind the bushes, he was about to beckon his soldiers to follow and go straight into the depths of the mountain. By the dim moonlight, he could already see that in the depths between the two mountains in front of him, there seemed to be countless bulging sacks piled together, and the scale of the mountains was enough to surprise others. If it is correct according to the predetermined assumption, Guan Yu believes that those sacks must be the food of the more than 120,000 troops collected by Huang Sui in the two counties, and they are undoubtedly the lifeline of the rebels.
Suddenly, more than a dozen cold flashes flashed in the darkness in front of him, Guan Yu sensed something wrong with his intuition, and hurriedly waved his knife to knock down a feather arrow in front of him by feeling, and then moved his body a few times, which was able to dodge those oncoming feather arrows.
However, Guan Yu was able to dodge, but the other soldiers beside him did not have this ability, and in just a moment, three people were shot and fell to the ground, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Of course, their chances of survival are estimated to be small, after all, there are still a large number of Han soldiers behind them trampling on their corpses.
After turning the danger into a disaster, Guan Yu stopped, and looked closely, in the depths of the mountain bag, there seemed to be dozens of soldiers in messy clothes who were resisting stubbornly, and I don't know where they came from. However, even so, Guan Yu was not at all worried about this sudden situation, even if the rebels still had an army here?
After all, there are few rebels in the mountain bag, even if the Han army is surrounded by countless rebel camps at this moment, but if the rebels in the camp find out that the situation is wrong and rush to the rescue, it is obvious that the dozens of rebel soldiers in the mountain bag will not wait for them to come to the rescue. What's more, they are not in good clothes and armor at the moment, and their mental strength is not in a state, under the suppression of a burst of arrows from the Han army, they cannot move, and then the Han army only used a moment of effort, and they came close to them to fight hand-to-hand, and soon the stubborn rebel soldiers in this mountain bag were cleaned up.
In fact, these undressed rebel soldiers who rushed out later were also the soldiers who were patrolling the rebels' grain storage just now, but they were not on duty tonight, and they were replaced by another team of men and horses guarding the grain and grass. Thinking about it, Huang Sui no matter how he doesn't know about military affairs, but he always has to understand the importance of food to a large army, and he is still relieved that the soldiers and horses he sent to guard the cottages around the grain storage place can defend against foreign enemies, but he is afraid that outsiders will not be able to have any intentions for his own food, but can he ensure that no one inside the rebel army will pay attention to his grain and grass?
Whether it was stealing or robbing, it was intolerable to Huang Sui, so he still selected a hundred people from his elite army to protect his most important grain store. In fact, protection is secondary, the real reason is to supervise whether there is anyone who is corrupt and turns the rebels' grain into his own, after all, it is difficult for Huang Sui to believe that someone can break through the cottage around the grain storage place, so that it is not good for the grain and grass he has hoarded, so the only one who can be interested in his food is the other Qu Shuai in the cottage.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Huang Sui sent nearly 100 people to patrol, in order to prevent the insiders in his cottage from having the opportunity to think about these grains. And just now after Guan Yu killed those rebel soldiers who didn't close their eyes, what came out again was another group of Huang Sui's henchmen who had just gotten up and fought with the Han army after being divided into two shifts and slept tonight, and it was precisely because they were not on duty at night that when they were attacked by the Han army, their clothes and armor were not in order, and some people even looked sleepy-eyed when they died.
"The army obeyed the order, quickly burned the grain and grass, and burned as much as they could, and there must be no mistake."
Fu Quan then rushed to learn that the remnants of the rebels had been wiped out, and hurriedly ordered, he knew very well what the purpose of this adventure was here, and he could not destroy the grain and grass of Huang Sui's army, then he would wipe out all the rebel soldiers and horses stationed in the nearby cottage, and the plan was also a failure.
"Where are Han Sheng and Yun Chang?"
"The end will be here!"
"The end will be here!"
"Yun Chang led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to block the enemy in front of the mountain, and after defending the mountain, he could not be withdrawn without an order, and he must not let the traitors come in and kill a single soldier."
"The last general commands!"
"Han Sheng led his troops and horses to block the enemy behind the mountain, and after defending the mountain, he could not be withdrawn without an order, and he must not let the traitors come in and kill a single soldier."
"The last general commands!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Fu Quan shouted, and summoned his two henchmen, who are currently the most capable of fighting, and asked them to lead troops to guard both sides of this mountain bag, so that the two of them would not let the rebel reinforcements who came to the valley to support. After all, the burning of grain is not something that can be done in a moment's effort, and only when the fire spreads and cannot be extinguished by manpower alone, this is the time when the Han army can retreat.
Otherwise, if the fire did not reach the momentum that could not be extinguished, then the plan of this sneak attack would still not succeed, so Fu Quan had already decided in his heart that even if the more than 2,000 people under his command were all killed here, he would burn the grain and grass of the rebel army.
Although Fu Quan usually cherishes the lives of the well-trained elite soldiers under his command, but now the situation is special, and there is a chance that one blow can completely destroy the Huang Sui rebels, so the opportunity cannot be lost. He knows very well that if there are no soldiers, he can still recruit and spend time on training, but the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and this time he has the opportunity to cut off the lifeline of the rebels, so he naturally has to cherish it, who knows if there will be such an opportunity in the future.
"Prince, the last general thought that he could make the soldiers shout and spread rumors everywhere to shake the hearts of the traitors in the mountains. Now the thieves in the village do not know the situation everywhere, and for a while, they dare not act easily, and they can still delay the thieves for a while. Xu Huang, who came a little later, saw that Fuquan's strategy was not perfect after seeing Fuquan's order to Guan and Huang, and hurriedly stepped forward to admonish.
"Yes! Good! Fu Quan nodded in praise, and then said to the generals gathered around him at this moment: "The generals listened to the order, and made the soldiers clamoring, shouting everywhere, and spreading rumors to disturb the hearts of the thieves. After saying that, as if thinking of something, Fu Quan shouted, "Heber listens! ”
"The last general!" Yan Yan heard Fu Quan call his name, and hurriedly came out of the line to salute and answer loudly.
"Quickly recruit the crossbowmen in the army, thinking that Han Sheng and Yun Chang should respond, and the rest of the people will quickly set fire to their grain and straw."
"The last general commands!"
"No!"
With Fu Quan's last supplementary order, Yan Yan hurriedly gathered the remaining archers and crossbowmen from each department except for Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's subordinates, and stood by on the spot. The rest of the Han generals received Fuquan's order, led the remaining soldiers of each department, looked for everything that could be burned, and equipped them with torches to light the sack piles piled up in the mountain bag, at this moment, time was very urgent.
It was the middle of the night, and the sky was almost dark except for the moonlight, and it was drowsy. However, in an instant, flames erupted, and smoke swept into space.
Just when the rebels in the mountain walled city were awakened by the fierce shouting and killing sound from the grain storage place, and when Zhenghu suspected what was going on, the night sky of the grain storage place suddenly ignited a sky-high firelight, like countless fireworks breaking through the originally dark night sky, but there was no explosion of the fireworks.
After the firelight appeared, the rebel camps in the entire mountain sounded as if they had exploded, and countless voices rang out, and there was a lot of noise.
In Huang Qi's camp, after bidding farewell to Qin Chuan, Huang Qi, who came to greet Qin Chuan in a coat, immediately returned to the camp tent, and then renewed his relationship with the little beauty in his tent. After an indescribable bedding incident, Huang Qi was tired after venting, and then he hugged the little beauty to rest.
However, as the voice of the soldiers in the camp suddenly rose, he was directly woken up, Huang Qi was just about to get up and go out to scold those soldiers under him who were not able to get along, didn't sleep so late, did he want to get along with him? It's just that all of a sudden, his henchmen who stayed outside on duty broke into the tent and said something that directly made him break into a cold sweat.
"Qu Shuai, it's not good, the grain and grass have been burned, and the Han army has killed ......"
"Nonsense! Where did the Han army come from? Why is it noisy? ”
"It's true, Qu Shuai will know it when he leaves the camp."
"Humph! Come on armor! ”
With a cold snort, Huang Qi quickly put on his armor and went out to check under the service of the soldier, at this time there was an abnormal movement outside the camp tent, and if he went out in his coat again, it was obviously not suitable.
Out of the tent, the firelight in the sky seemed to hit Huang Qi's face alive, making his face cold, and with the spread of the firelight was the sound of the night sky constantly coming from the true and the false, as soon as he heard it, he knew that something was wrong in the mountain.
"The Han army is coming, everyone run......"
"I can't keep the food, it's all burned......"
"The 200,000 heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty have arrived, and if you don't tie your hands, you will die!"
……
All kinds of rumors kept coming in the night sky, causing countless rebel soldiers in the mountains who had just woken up and were woken up and assembled to whisper, and after the timid saw the firelight in the sky, coupled with the deterrence of this rumor, they already had the intention of dropping their weapons and defecting as soon as the Han army came.
Some people were frightened by this scene and became confused, but there were also people who were sober, such as Huang Qi, although he was a wreck, it didn't mean that he didn't know how to deal with it. Huang Qi, who knew very well what important things were hoarded in the mountain, quickly sobered up, and he understood that the top priority was to save the food, so he hurriedly shouted to the left and right: "All the armies assemble, quickly put out the fire." ”
Not only Huang Qi, but also the other camps in the mountains also hurriedly gathered his soldiers and rushed to the place where the grain was stored in the mountains, of course, what they were thinking about at the moment was not to exterminate the Han army that came to attack, but to expel them, and to lead their soldiers to fight the fire. As long as they are people, they all know the importance of food, not to mention that they have more than 120,000 people, and without food, these Qu Shuai can guess what kind of anger they will face Huang Sui, even if they exterminate all the rebels who came afterwards, they will not be able to withstand their crimes.
Soon, when Huang Qi, who was on the outermost part, led his troops to the grain storage place, he saw that the rebel allies who had arrived here before them were attacking the Han army.
I saw that on the mountain path, there seemed to be countless Han soldiers, who hid in bunkers such as boulders and bushes, and blocked the rebels with bows and crossbows, and shot many impaired rebel soldiers to the ground at once, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
The arrows of the Han army seemed to be very sufficient, and the arrows were constantly fired, like raindrops, sweeping the mountain path aside. If it weren't for the fact that the rebels had a numerical advantage and relied on fully armored soldiers as cannon fodder to advance, they would not have been able to gather nearly 2,000 soldiers who would have been blocked here by the hundreds of Han troops, and they would not be able to move.
Finally, after paying the price of hundreds of casualties, they were finally able to meet these Han soldiers who appeared out of nowhere. However, after meeting with the invasion again, many rebel soldiers were dumbfounded, weren't these Han soldiers the "army" under the command of Huang Sui, who claimed to be the general just now?
At this moment, these rebels knew that they had been completely deceived, and countless people were completely dumbfounded, including Huang Qi, of course, it turned out that the Han army that attacked and burned grain and grass was put in by them with their own hands.
However, on the battlefield, they are not allowed to have too many ideas, and the rebels know what the first priority at this time is, which is to break through the Han army's formation, go to extinguish the fire, and save food and grass.
"Kill!"
……
The shouts of the two armies suddenly sounded in this mountain, not only here, Huang Qi also seemed to hear the same shouts from a place on the other side of the mountain, thinking that the friendly troops over there were also reinforced, but they were blocked by the Han army that had been prepared for a long time, and it seemed that the Han army was desperately trying to burn the grain and grass of their army.
Damn Han Jun, damn Qin Chuan, it was in vain that Lao Tzu was so good to you just now, and he cheated Lao Tzu so much...... Why didn't Lao Tzu find out that you were a spy of the Han army at that time?
