Chapter 83: Bombing the City Gate

Jia Kui jumped out of the tree, stretched his waist, and said, "I've held it for a few days, but it's time to do it!" ”

Yang Wenguang held the telescope in his hand, observed the Gangu City under the mountain again, and handed the telescope to Jia Kui: "The city gate below has been erected, but the people in the city have not left." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt seems that they are arranged to guard the back road here, and will not go to Fuqiang Village. You take your troops and horses down the mountain, and as we have agreed before, quickly assemble your troops at Gangukou, and immediately attack the north city gate without the slightest pause!" After the city is broken, if the thieves inside escape from the south gate, they don't need to chase after them, as long as they hold the city. If they don't leave, they will cover up and kill, and I will take the Chinese army to arrive later. After the thieves were driven away, the north gate was erected again, although there was no big drop in the north, so it was always just in case. ”

Jia Kui forked his hand and agreed, eager to try, holding a telescope to observe Gangu City in the valley.

When the sun rose high, Jia Kui said goodbye to Yang Wenguang and recruited people from the dense forest on the mountain.

This camp was prepared in advance by the Song army for several months, and the grain, grass, drinking water and even charcoal for cooking had already been prepared, just so that the nearly 1,000 people could hide in the jungle on the mountain for a few days. Where there are caves, where there are paths, where there are slopes that are easy to go up and down, they have already found out clearly, and even went through several practical drills. As soon as Jia Kuijun gave the order, his subordinates' right army quickly came out of the woods and gathered on the edge of the cliff.

Don't look at the Song army, it looks like there is one here and there, there is no discipline in a mess, in fact, the place where they stand is planned, how many drills did the Yuzang Huama army go through before coming. There is no flat ground on the mountain, and it is impossible to line up here, and it is impossible to gather together. Everyone is in a position that is conducive to quickly and continuously taking advantage of several gentle slopes to enter the valley below, and to arrange a battle formation in the shortest possible time.

Xu Ping has always believed that the more meticulous the pre-war preparations, the fewer difficulties he will face in wartime, and the best way to achieve greater results and minimize his own casualties. In a word, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime.

In order not to alarm the Fan army in the valley, this sortie did not blow horns or beat drums, and relied on tacit understanding and strict training in ordinary times.

Yang Wenguang looked at the hourglass in front of him, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and waved his arm heavily at Jia Kui on the edge of the cliff.

Jia Kui shouted in a deep voice: "Go down the mountain and fight!" After saying that, jump down the hill first, use your hands and feet, and go down the valley along the gentle slope you have chosen. A group of Song troops lined up on the edge of the cliff, the front row were all small commanders, who got Jia Kui's military order, one by one, all of which were simple four words: "Go down the mountain and fight!" ”

Silently, the three hundred Song troops descended from the hillside to the Gangu like apes.

Gangu does not flow straight into the Sandu River, but turns south after leaving the valley and flows a short distance with the Sandu River before converging into it. Gangu Castle is built at the confluence of two rivers, and if you don't set up a sentry tower at the mouth of Gangu, you can't see Gangu.

Jia Kui quickly reorganized his troops according to the pre-drill, and did not alarm the Fan army in Gangu City.

Let the defended army go out of the ranks, Jia Kui handed him the velvet in his hand, and said: "According to what we have set before, you go and light the arquebus we have buried, and blow up the newly erected city gate of the thieves!" Do a good job, you are the first to do this battle! ”

The general agreed with his hand, took the velvet, turned around and walked out of the valley quickly.

Watching the generals leave, Jia Kui said in a deep voice to everyone in front of him: "Wait until the explosion sounds, you listen to my military order and go out of the valley together!" ”

At this time, the brigade of the Fan army had already left the location of Gangu City and concentrated on the lower reaches of Sandu River, and the people who defended the city here were bored. When the gates of the small city are erected, it is a complete city, but it is empty inside, and there is nothing. Staying here to defend the city was the negative view of the party army, and the Tibetan troops led by Yuzang Huama only wanted to rush out of the valley to grab money and grain, and no one was willing to stay in the rear. Negative Zhan is a miscellaneous soldier in the army, and if there is no regular army to take care of him, he will be lazy and gather in groups to chat.

Suddenly, the people guarding the tower shouted, "Blame, who is in front?" Isn't it Song Jun? ”

Several party soldiers who were chatting under the city tower ran up quickly with the leader, glanced outside, and said, "Where did the Song army come from?" We're deep in the mountains now, don't be surprised! ”

The sentry pointed to a man who was not in a hurry in front of him: "That's not it?" Look at the Song people dressed up! ”

The leader glanced at it and looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's really a ghost, the Song army is coming, how can it be that someone comes like this?" This is the territory of the Song Kingdom, not far from Qinzhou City, there are naturally many Han people, what is the big surprise! I think the man is a lost hunter. Don't worry about him, when we get to the city, we will send a few people and bring it over! Look at the appearance of that person, he is very strong, and he will be a good raw mouth when he is tied back, and he can sell it for a good price! ”

The crowd applauded. The party violated the Song realm, and when they fought, they received a very low reward for the first rank, but there were many rewards for the living. Because the dead are of no use to the leaders of the party, the living can be used as slaves and can be sold for money.

The general walked towards Gangu City without hurrying, calming down and paying careful attention to the movements in Gangu City. If the thieves in the city are particularly vigilant, they will go out of the city to meet the city when they see someone coming, and they will make some mistakes. The best thing is that they don't do it properly, let themselves get close, then light the fire rope and leave, which is best for themselves.

Nearly two hundred steps away from the city gate, the general saw the big stone that had been placed here in advance, and the Gangu City in front of him had not moved at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When he arrived at the edge of the big stone, he picked up a few times in the place where he had made a mark, and pulled out a section of fire rope, and the general saw that it was still dry, and he lit it with the velvet he brought unhurriedly.

The fire rope burned rapidly, and soon it burned to the ground.

The general did not leave, but stood calmly by the big rock, and slowly looked at the gate of Gangu City in the direction of the burning rope.

"One", after a while, a small puff of black smoke rose from the front, and the general counted it in his mouth. "Two—"

Several party soldiers on the city tower looked at it strangely, and the leader said: "The guy who came stood at such a distance, didn't he see that the situation was wrong and recognized us as party members?" This place is so far away from us, and we have never plundered them, why are we afraid? ”

The man next to him: "The Han people are naturally cowardly and timid, thinking that there is no one around the city, and they feel scared, so they watch the movement there." We don't care about him, if he gets lost, he will come here anyway! ”

Another said: "What if he doesn't come?" ”

"What's so hard about that? If he turns around and leaves, we'll send some fast horses and bring the man back." Can two legs run over four legs? After all, this man is already meat in our mouths, and watching him is just a pastime! ”

These party members only cared about the generals outside the city, but they did not pay attention to the front of the city gate, and from time to time a small puff of black smoke rose. This is when Yang Wenguang and others withdrew, the gunpowder buried under the city gate in advance, and when the city is occupied, the city gate of the party is blown up.

The party soldiers on the city tower pointed at the Song army general, but they didn't know that one foot had passed through the city government.
