Chapter 77: The Burning of Dengzhou (7)
Zhao Pusheng hurriedly spoke. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he doesn't want to delay the big event of the Red Turban Army because of these private, after all, the White Lotus Sect doesn't even have a place to settle down except for Huangzhou now, although it means that the sect doesn't have it now, but they have a lot of people in various places, and the momentum is large, once it expands, the speed is very fast.
It seems that this is the best way at present, and Li Xingze has no choice but to nod yes. After all, the two leaders, Wang Quan and Zhang Chun, are about to start an incident, and time is tight, so there is no room for sloppiness.
However, for the sake of insurance, Wang Quan still arranged for a few good players to follow Zhao Pusheng, so that they could attack Dengzhou with peace of mind.
In this way, Zhang Junbao stayed. Guo Ergongzi was very unhappy when he left, he didn't participate in the internal meeting of the White Lotus Sect, so naturally he didn't understand some things, Li Xingze didn't bother to explain when he saw his dissatisfaction, anyway, everyone's relationship was, so he didn't need to pay attention to it.
"Master Li, you see that we are preparing to start an incident in Sangping Town, just in the next two days!" After they left, Wang Quan and Zhang Chun hurriedly pulled Li Xingze to discuss, after all, it was imminent, and the arrow was already on the string, so they had to send it.
There are not many soldiers in Sangping Town, that is, less than a hundred, according to Zhang Chun's statistics, there are thousands of members of the White Lotus Sect who have caused trouble here.
Don't think about it, so many people are taking advantage of the unpreparedness, and it is not difficult to take Sangping Town, the key is that the royal power is also aimed at Dengzhou.
Li Xingze thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Two leaders, the kid has a suggestion, I don't know if you agree?" ”
Since Li Junshi was left behind, Wang Quan and Zhang Chun were not cautious people, and they still wished that Li Xingze would command them.
Seeing that he opened his mouth at this moment, Wang Quan immediately waved his hand casually and urged: "If the military advisor has something to say, just say it, our brothers don't agree or disagree!" ”
"I think..."
Li Xingze said with a wicked smile: "Let's quietly and directly take Dengzhou, and then take Sangping Town lightly!" ”
If you want to take Dengzhou, Sangping Town will naturally be broken without attack, Li Xingze is just worried about whether the two leaders have a special feeling for here, so even this place is counted.
"Hiss"
Li Junshi was really speechless, Wang Quan stood up suddenly, turned around on the ground twice, his eyes lit up instantly, and he praised repeatedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" ”
Rather than making such a big disturbance in Sangping Town, and then attacking Dengzhou has increased a lot, not to mention, the danger is still great, it is better to directly take Dengzhou neatly, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Chun also thought that this idea was good, but after thinking about it, he immediately smiled bitterly: "Brother Wang, we don't even have weapons, how can we attack Dengzhou?" ”
"Ahh
This time it was Li Xingze's turn to be surprised, he didn't think that they didn't even have weapons on their side, if they started an incident directly in Dengzhou, it was estimated that they would be directly suppressed by the Yuan soldiers in the city.
Speaking of which, he also habitually thought so, forgetting to think about weapons, so he had to touch his head and said embarrassedly: "It's also wrong for me to say it, I didn't think of these at all!" ”
Originally, Wang Quan was also a stable player, but after Li Xingze's pinch, the fire in his heart could no longer be extinguished, and he hurriedly said: "Li Junshi, is there really no other way?" ”
Li Xingze didn't know anything about Dengzhou City now, so he had to ask: "If you can know the deployment of troops in Dengzhou, maybe you can really think of some solutions!" ”
I hadn't considered directly attacking Dengzhou before, so everyone didn't make much preparations, and since Li Xingze asked, Wang Quan hurriedly arranged for someone to rush to Dengzhou at night to understand the situation.
"Senior brother, do you think it's a big deal to fight Deng Zhou this time?"
After the two were arranged in a room next to Wang Quan, Zhang Junbao asked in a low voice.
After all, he had participated in Zou Pusheng's uprising in Suizhou before, but he didn't succeed in the end, and he was a little apprehensive at this time.
Knowing what Zhang Junbao was worried about, Li Xingze chuckled and said: "Senior brother, you are too worried, I don't think it is difficult to take Dengzhou, but it is best to think about how to reduce casualties!" ”
Zhang Junbao didn't have too much to worry about, and after Li Xingze's explanation, he also understood, after all, what he was good at was not military, and he didn't care too much about these, as long as he protected his junior brother.
At noon the next day, the spies rushed back, and Wang Quan hurriedly gathered people and began to discuss together how to deal with the Yuan soldiers of Dengzhou.
"Weapons, weapons!"
Wang Quan is upset, the current personnel are not a problem, the key is stuck in the weapon, and he has been thinking about it all the time.
After he said this, Li Xingze didn't know what to do, but Zhang Chun understood the royal power and comforted him.
Li Xingze suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Fire! ”
"What's that?"
When these words were spoken, several people around them couldn't help but look at each other, and no one understood what Li Xingze said, and the anxious Wang Quan hurriedly asked.
But Zhang Junbao instantly understood, and couldn't help grinning, he, the junior brother, is simply the master of no fire and no play, as if since he followed his junior brother, he has never seen him not play, when he saw that everyone was looking at him in confusion, Zhang Junbao hurriedly explained: "Senior brother means to attack with fire!" ”
Although the spies have explained just now that the city wall of Dengzhou is not high, that is, about five zhang high, but the Red Turban Army does not even have bows and arrows, Zhang Chun was puzzled: "How to attack by fire?" ”
Hehe, if we want to say that we are really experts in playing with fire, such a trivial matter as ignition can play many tricks, Li Xingze hurriedly asked Wang Quan to find someone to collect more ignition oil.
Since it is used for siege, the amount of fire oil must be indispensable, and the king power is also ruthless, mobilizing everyone to buy it, if it doesn't work, go to Dengzhou to buy it, and finally if it doesn't work, he will supply all the fire oil in everyone's house.
Wang Quan is not brainless, the benefits of this Dengzhou are far greater than the current pay, many soldiers who participated in the uprising did not understand, and in the end it was Wang Quan who carried Li Xingze out, and added fuel and vinegar to say that Li Junshi wanted to use it.
If you want to say that the king leader uses it, everyone is really reluctant, but if Li Junshi of Huangzhou Red Turban wants to use it, it will be different, in the hearts of the soldiers, it is comparable to the existence of Zhuge Liang, without saying a word, they have to prepare.
This can make Wang Quan angry enough, and he scolded again and again behind the back of a group of people, and couldn't help but sigh, it is really the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient, so he shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything more.
In addition to fire oil, there are also vases, these two items have become scarce in Sangping Town for a while, and many people can't figure out how to do it, how to do it well, and suddenly overnight, these two most common things on weekdays will be missing.
When night came, Wang Quan and Zhang Chun took about 500 people respectively according to Li Xingze's previous arrangement and hid in the woods not far from Dengzhou City.
"Strategist, when are we going to start working?"
Wang Quan saw that it was also dark, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, and kept staring at the head of the city wall. On the other hand, Li Junshi, Hang Erlang was lying on the ground, bragging and chatting with Zhang Junbao.
Li Xingze saw Wang Quan's anxious appearance, smiled and comforted: "Leader Wang, don't worry, let's sleep first!" ”
Seeing that the war was imminent, Li Junshi looked confident, Wang Quan not only did not settle down, but also became anxious, this was the first time he cooperated with Li Xingze, although it was said that the military division was powerful, but it was all legends, and he had never seen it with his own eyes.
The anxious waiting time was extraordinarily long, until the bright moon hung in the air, Li Xingze estimated that it was almost time, and when he saw the soldiers of the Red Turban Army who were gradually getting a little sleepy, he quietly called Wang Quan, who was already sleepy and lying on the side, and nodded to imply that it was okay.
Now that he had received the order to do it, Wang Quan instantly sobered up, and hurriedly sent someone to the other side to tell Zhang Chun.
One left and one right, the soldiers of the Red Turban Army on both sides quietly trotted under the city wall, and according to Li Junshi's previous arrangement, they held the vase filled with fire oil in their hands.
"Put"
Li Xingze, who was standing behind everyone, stood at a distance where the Yuan soldiers could not shoot arrows, and saw that although the torches at the head of the city were constantly burning, there were few Yuan troops guarding them, and it was estimated that there were many people sleeping on the ground, so he quickly drew out his sword and roared angrily.
Although the vase was filled with a lot of oil, it didn't weigh much, and throwing it on the wall of more than five zhang was not a problem for everyone at all, and they threw it up one after another.
"Bang Bang"
The sound of a broken vase sounded on the entire city wall, waking up the Yuan soldiers who were napping, and hurriedly saw what was going on.
Some of the soldiers were directly hit by the vase, and they screamed in pain. The most unfortunate thing is that a few Yuan soldiers were hit in the head and died with a whimper.
Before the Yuan soldiers could come out, the second wave of the Red Turban Army threw torches on the wall, and all of a sudden, the entire wall was on fire.
The flames unscrupulously expand its minions, trying to cover all the places it uses under its rule. Cries, shouts, sirens, all the cacophony of noise twisted in this fire, and everyone present felt a sense of terror, and the tension was infinitely magnified.
This kind of scene was so miserable that Li Xingze closed his eyes and turned his head. I really can't bear to watch it, after all, it was this one-sided massacre led by him.
The Yuan soldiers who had no time to dodge at the head of the city were burned by the fire, and kept running around, accompanied by heart-rending shouts, which startled the Red Turban Army who were watching the excitement under the city wall, and even many Yuan soldiers jumped down from the city.
The Yuan soldiers guarding the other three gates did not dare to come at all, seeing that the raging fire on the city wall over there seemed to be able to light up the entire night sky, some Yuan soldiers who did not know why had secretly put down their weapons, beckoned relatives and friends, and quickly fled.
Such a spectacular scene stunned the Red Turban Army besieging the city, especially Wang Quan, who couldn't imagine that he could attack so hotly, and couldn't help but secretly admire, sure enough, it was the shadow of the tree, the name of the person, Li Junshi was really powerful.
After the fire gradually subsided, Li Xingze asked the soldiers of the Red Turban Army to carefully climb up a few improvised broken wooden ladders.
