Chapter 915: Jiexiu Strikes
Jiexiu County Jin Bing Logistics Battalion, there were originally 10,000 garrisons here, it was the Han army drawn from all over Hedong Road by Wanyan Chang, after the arrival of the Wanyan Xianye army, 10,000 Jin soldiers were added to garrison, and the new Jin soldiers were mainly Yandi Han Army.
Although the Yandi Han army and the Hedong Han army are both Han people, their language and face are the same, they look down on the Han army from the bones, they think that they are Liao, the old country was destroyed, they had to become the subjects of the Jin State, and these Han troops are obviously Song troops and have their own country, but they surrendered to the foreign race and are willing to be eagle dogs, which is despicable.
It is for this reason that the Yandi Han army and the Hedong Han army are clearly distinguished, and they never communicate with each other, and the boundary is drawn very clearly.
After Yan Qing came back from Shangdang County, he assumed the name of Lu Qing, joined the Hedong Han Army through a relationship, and became a military commander, the following five people are his subordinates in the scout camp, on this day, the military camp is on vacation, Yan Qing came to the Jiaohe Tavern in the county seat as usual, and a bartender in this tavern is his subordinate, who is responsible for delivering news to Taiyuan City.
Yan Qing found a corner seat and sat down, and after a while, the bartender hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "May I ask what the military master wants to eat?" ”
"A pot of wine, a few side dishes, two plates of meat, and nothing else."
The bartender gave him a look and said with a smile: "Master Jun, please wait, I'll be here soon!" ”
The bartender turned around and left, and Yan Qing knew from the bartender's eyes that there must be important news today.
Not long after, the bartender brought him wine and food, and pressed a note under the plate, with only two words on it, 'Burning Camp', Yan Qing recognized it at a glance, this was Du Tong's handwriting, he was excited in his heart, and finally waited for this moment.
Of course, burning the camp does not refer to burning the military camp, but burning the logistics camp, Yan Qing has been planning for a long time, and is waiting for the final order.
Yan Qing drank a few glasses of wine, then casually put the knife on the table, got up and left, and not far after walking out, the bartender chased after him from behind, "Master Jun, go slowly, you forgot your knife." ”
"Look at my memory, I actually forgot the guy who ate."
He took the knife, the knife became obviously lighter, the bartender gave him a look, Yan Qing understood, took the knife and walked away.
Back to the barracks, Yan Qing greeted all the way, and soon came to his tent, he looked out, and then took off the knife to take a closer look, this kind of knife is a straight knife used by ordinary soldiers, almost exactly the same as his knife, but the knife handle is obviously much lighter, Yan Qing pulled out the knife handle, inside is a long empty tube, and there are three small flint locks with extremely exquisite workmanship, this flint lock is made by Zhao Liang firearms shop in the capital, just like a lighter, you can light the fire with one hand, and it is very convenient to use.
This is Yan Qing has long arranged for his subordinates to customize this special knife, and it is also because the logistics warehouse is extremely strictly guarded, and he must be strictly searched three times before he is allowed to enter, and it is impossible to bring flint to get in, Yan Qing can only make a fuss from the portable weapon.
In the afternoon, one of his subordinates came running and said, "I told Ma Lao Wu that we will be on duty for them tonight, and we will change them back next time!" ”
Yan Qing nodded, it will be their turn to be on duty for ten days, I am afraid that it will be too late in time, it is best to do it tonight, Yan Qing is also a resolute person, there was no order before, he could only wait and endure, and now that he received the order from Dutong, he immediately started.
"Go get them all back, and we'll talk about it!"
........
Yan Qing They were on duty tonight in the second half of the night, and it was also from the third watch to dawn, before the third watch, Yan Qing led five of his men to the warehouse group camp, and there were other five hundred people who came with him, and they were all soldiers on duty in the second half of the night.
The warehouse group was originally one, but since the arrival of the Han army in Yanshan Prefecture, it was divided into the southern area and the northern area, the southern area was guarded by the Han army of Hedong Road, and the northern area was guarded by the Han army of Yanshan Prefecture, with a wooden fence in the middle, and the two armies performed their duties and did not communicate with each other.
There are three guards at the entrance of the warehouse camp, and all three guards must search their bodies, and they are not allowed to bring anything in except weapons.
Yan Qing and five of his subordinates entered the warehouse camp after a strict search, the warehouse camp covers an area of about 300 acres, there are 200 warehouses of various kinds, the warehouse group here has always been, it is not a temporary tent-type camp, but a wooden structure, Yan Qing They are responsible for the guard of the southern area, that is, the grain and grass warehouse, the north area is the military warehouse, guarded by the soldiers of the Han army of Yanshan Prefecture, the normal duty is that each side has 1,000 people, of which 500 people are responsible for the periphery, and the other 500 people are responsible for patrolling in the warehouse.
Yan Qing has been here for almost two months, and they have already known the warehouse well, they are responsible for the care of the No. 7 and No. 8 warehouses of forage, and after entering the post, the six of them began to act quickly.
Yan Qing used a spare key to open the small door of the No. 7 warehouse, and everyone entered the warehouse, the bundles of hay in the warehouse were piled up like a hill, from the beginning of the war to the present, they basically had not used it, they lifted a large bluestone slab in the northwest corner of the warehouse, dug up the soil on it, and revealed a large box below, which contained more than a dozen fire oil bags, which they prepared a month ago, when the warehouse was not divided into the south and north areas, it was easy to get fire oil from the inside.
Everyone carried the fire oil bag on their backs, and three bags per person was thirty catties, Yan Qing gave three flint locks to everyone, and said to them: "We will act separately, assemble at the fence after igniting the fire, everyone must move quickly, and deal with abnormal situations decisively." ”
Everyone nodded together, and the six immediately divided into three teams, two in a team, and the six went separately.
Because it is an internal soldier operation, they are very familiar with the situation of the army, the morale of the Han army is generally low, the morale of the army is sluggish, and the internal patrol system of the warehouse is useless, Yan Qing knows that after the handover of duty, the soldiers will find a place to sleep, and will never be seriously responsible for patrolling in the warehouse group, anyway, there are troops guarding the periphery, and it doesn't matter if they are internal patrol soldiers.
A quarter of an hour later, the southernmost warehouse No. 1 was the first to catch fire, it was also a forage warehouse, the fire in the warehouse was unknown, but the smoke was billowing out of the warehouse, and then the second warehouse also caught fire, almost one after another, more than forty warehouses in the south were on fire, the fire spread rapidly, under the strong southerly wind at night, the fire was soon connected, and the wooden buildings were like adding fuel to the fire, and they were soon engulfed in flames.
'When! While! While! Sirens sounded through the warehouses, and groups of soldiers rushed from the barracks to join the firefighting team.
At this time, the three warehouses of the north warehouse were also set on fire, this is the fire oil warehouse, its fire is even more terrifying, not the explosion phenomenon, engulfing several nearby warehouses.
20,000 Jin soldiers were in a mess, there were shouts and scolding everywhere, the figures ran in the dark, splashing a basin of water on the warehouse, like a car with water, it had no effect at all, thousands of soldiers were concentrating on rescuing the two northernmost grain depots, which contained 20,000 stone of grain, which was the only warehouse that was not on fire, but the fire would spread at any time, these two warehouses would be engulfed in flames sooner or later, and rescuing the grain in these two warehouses had almost become the only meaningful thing for the Jin soldiers at present.
At this time, Yan Qing and his five subordinates had quietly left the warehouse in the chaos, took off their military uniforms and ran to the field, they couldn't stay any longer, after dawn tomorrow, the Jin soldiers would inevitably severely punish the soldiers on duty, and they still went to the top.
In this fire, the 300,000 stone grain and 200,000 quintals of forage stored by the Jin soldiers in the logistics camp of Jiexiu County were all burned, including 20,000 barrels of fire oil and many armor tents.
