Chapter 49: Night Attack
"Lord, Dian Wei has arrived!" In the middle of the night, a cat climbed over the wall and came to Ye Zhao's side, waking up Ye Zhao, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Dian Wei, how is the situation?" Ye Zhao opened his eyes and looked at Dian Wei.
"There are only about a hundred people." Dian Wei bowed to Ye Zhao and said: "When we arrived at the county office, the county government had already turned into ashes, and the signal Brother Liu came to report that the lord had broken through, otherwise, the old man really didn't know what to do." ”
"More than a hundred? Can you carry a bow and crossbow? Ye Zhao asked.
"The bows and crossbows are complete, but the arrow clusters can't carry too many, only sixty bags of arrows." Dian Wei nodded.
"Almost, give all the quivers to Fang Yue, Guan Hai and Meng Hu, and bring in the county soldiers you brought, and follow me." Ye Zhao stood up, looked at the sky, turned his head to look at Fang Yue and said, "Wait first, follow the plan." ”
"Whoa!" Fang Yue and the three of them bowed, and after quickly inviting the quiver with the county soldiers brought by Dian Wei, they divided into three teams and left quickly in the direction that Ye Zhao had arranged before.
"My lord, what about us?" Dian Wei touched his head and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "This city is now full of these Taiping Sect traitors, and it's dark, so I can only touch here." ”
"Lord, we don't have enough troops now, it's better to break through first, and after we get out of the city, we will regroup and fight again, with the ability of the lord, why can't we kill back?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao worriedly, feeling that what Ye Zhao did was too dangerous, even if he added the county soldiers brought by Dian Wei, Ye Zhao had less than three hundred soldiers and horses on hand, with this little bit of men and horses, even if he captured the warehouse, what could he do? Can it be kept?
"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more." Ye Zhao took out a short sword from his arms, came to Xin'er's side, groped Xin'er's cheek, and said softly: "Do you regret it?" ”
"Xin'er has no regrets." Xin'er shook her head and said in a low voice.
"If the war doesn't go well...... Ye Zhao handed the short sword in his hand to Xin'er, took a deep breath and said: "If there is an afterlife, Zhao will live up to it!" ”
"Hmm." Xin'er took the dagger and held it in her arms.
Dian Wei, Qiu Chi and the others, looking at the woman holding a short sword in the night, suddenly felt an inexplicable depression in their hearts, and the white-fronted tiger crawled on Dian Wei's legs, as if they felt this uncomfortable atmosphere, and opened their mouths to let out a roar.
"Lord, in fact, why ......" Qiu Chi opened his mouth and looked at Ye Zhao, not knowing what to say.
"If I can't clean it up in the face of this rabble, it means that my life is nothing more!" Ye Zhao slowly drew out his sword, looked at the soldiers who came in, and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, those hypocritical words, don't say it, the wealth of my generation of soldiers has always been obtained from the horse, Zhao swears to the sky here, today's battle, if we can get away with the victory, wait for the day of this Suiyang, those who survive, reward ten acres of fertile land, and those who die, as long as Zhao has a breath of air, you wait for his wife, I will raise him!" If there is an heir, Zhao Bao is rich and noble, this oath can be learned from heaven and earth, if this oath is violated, the ghosts and gods will punish it! ”
"I'm willing to follow the envoy!" A group of county soldiers surrendered their hands together, Ye Zhao was already the acting captain and had the right to command them, and now he was even more rewarded, how could he not want to, in this era, human beings fear ghosts and gods, and they trust the oath very much.
Ye Zhao left Zhang Yue and ten county soldiers to take care of Xin'er and them, if there was no news of them before tomorrow, he would wait for an opportunity to escape from the city and find a way to return to Huai County, as for whether it could succeed, Ye Zhao couldn't care so much.
After the arrangements were made, Ye Zhao took Dian Wei and one hundred and twenty county soldiers and headed in the direction of the granary.
The night is dark and the wind is high, the Taiping Sect is in a hurry, at least in Suiyang, it is close to March, but at the time of the third watch, the air in the city is still cold and numb, the person responsible for guarding the warehouse is Liang Fa's friend Lu Liang, the two of them are worshipping under Zhang Jiao's door at the same time, Liang Fa is valued by Zhang Jiao, leaning on one side of the Qu Shuai, Lu Liang as a friend of Liang Fa, in this Liang Taiping Sect, is the leader of the status second only to Liang Fa, quite trusted by Liang Fa, the important task of guarding the granary, was handed over to Lu Liang by Liang Fa, However, the elite of the Taiping Sect in the Liang Kingdom were all taken by Liang Fa's side, and Ye Zhao was searched all over the city.
Although there are thousands of people on Lu Liang's side, they are all composed of ordinary Taiping Sect members, and discipline is naturally impossible, and in the middle of the night, they all find a place to escape the cold, and in the entire granary, from the outside, there are only sporadic fires, and there are still people keeping vigil.
Guan Hai, Fang Yue, and Meng Hu did not do it at the same time, but agreed that one party would be angry, and the other party would do it again, and in the dark night, a cluster of fire light burned in the direction of the north of the granary, followed by a burst of gongs and countless shouts of killing, which woke up the Taiping Sect members who were responsible for guarding the granary.
In the night, I couldn't see how many people there were, and I couldn't see how many people there were from the corner tower of the granary, but I saw that the surrounding flames were soaring into the sky, and in the firelight, there were constantly figures emerging, and for a while, I couldn't see how many enemies there were.
"Enemy attack!" In the terrible roar, a Taiping Sect member woke up from his sleep, and ran out from all corners in disbelief, and just after the gathering, he heard the whistling sound of breaking the air with the whistle of death falling from the sky, and more than a dozen Taiping Sect disciples who had not had time to react screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
Some of the arrows that broke through the air directly hit the vital point, a life whine, considered lucky, but more were shot on the thighs, arms and other places that are not fatal, most of these Taiping disciples are composed of honest people, who have experienced such things, for a while, the terrible screams and shouts sounded together, and the rain of arrows that broke through the sky fell one after another, so that the Taiping believers, who had no morale at all, instantly messed up, for a while, some people wanted to escape, some people wanted to climb the wall to defend against the enemy, and it was a mess.
Before this side was over, there was also a fire in the west, followed by the south, for a while, as if the entire granary was surrounded, these Taiping sect disciples who had no morale at all saw that they seemed to be surrounded, where could they still take care of any command duties, before the enemy approached, the entire formation had collapsed, and one by one they rushed towards the only east side where there was no firelight.
When Lu Liang was woken up from his sleep, the rout had been achieved, and he desperately shouted that there could be no large number of officers and soldiers in the city, but how could the believers who had panicked still listen to this, and after Lu Liang killed several Taiping Sect disciples one after another, he was involuntarily swept towards the east by the crowd.
"It's done!" When Fang Yue led the county guards to climb the wall, there was only a mess as far as he could see, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the left and right: "Quick, let go of the arrows and notify the lord!" ”
