Chapter 137 Attack on Yiguang County

The geographical location of Yiguang County is very special, it is in the middle of the two county seats, you can attack Qin County when you enter, and you can defend Yu County when you retreat.

In the blind man's report, Li Yao knew that the county commanders and others in the three northern counties were all Yangyun's people, and it was basically impossible for them to open the door and surrender, so Li Yao planned to attack!

There is a platoon of scouts in Yiguang County, Li Yao asked these scouts to keep a close eye on the dynamics of the county commander and others, and the local granaries and munitions depots must be paid close attention!

This time, Li Yao planned to use the flying thunder canister to collectively throw explosives, and after cleaning up the soldiers on the city wall, he advanced to the city gate, blew up the city gate with an explosive pack, and then let the bandit army and a regiment equipped with excellent armor attack the city, eliminate the remnants of the city guards, and then take over the local city guards!

That night, the blind man reported on the raid of his house, and he copied 1,300,000 taels of silver and 1,500,000 quintals of grain.

Li Yao said: "Every year to Yangyun, you can still save so much money, you don't have to think about it to know how hard the people here are!" ”

The blind man also said: "After my investigation, many people can't afford to eat the squeezed food, and when the farm is slack, they go up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, not to mention how miserable it is!" Moreover, because of the poor geographical conditions here, the local people are generally mainly agricultural, and the business is extremely backward, and it is very common for people to die of starvation in a disaster year! ”

Li Yao asked, "How many people were arrested this time?" ”

The blind man said: "The three families of the county commander, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant have arrested a total of more than 1,100 maids and servants, and more than 300 family members!" ”

Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Those maids and servants, you can send someone to investigate, let the innocent ones go, as for the family members and those loyal servants, they will be detained first!" ”

The blind man nodded and said, "I'll send someone to do this right away!" ”

By the way, blind man, a curfew will be imposed in Qin County from today. During the day, the city gate is not opened, and the city implements a grain release policy, and each person can receive one pound of food per day!

The blind man asked, "Big brother, do you still need to distribute this grain?" Our future army is available! ”

Li Yao smiled: "You don't have to worry about the grain, if our county is finished." You can ask those rich people to 'borrow', in short, I want the people to know that our army is a good army! ”

The blind man nodded.

By the way, about tomorrow's attack on the county seat, I want to tell you that Yiguang County probably already knows that there is a problem in Qin County, so it will definitely take precautions. But they never thought that we would attack them tomorrow, so they would send someone outside to report for help.

Tomorrow you will take the scouts to guard the roads, and if you see someone going to report it, you will catch it, and I can't let them know that the valley mouth has been sealed. They have no way out, if they know that the valley mouth is sealed and no one can come to save them, they will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and it will not be good if the granary is damaged at that time! I still have to rely on this food to appease people's hearts!

The blind man commanded: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Early the next morning, Li Yao took a regiment and a bandit army plus an artillery regiment to assemble at the south gate of Yiguang County, the situation of the city guards in Yiguang County was similar to that of Qin County, and the city guards basically only had about 1,000 people!

Li Yao took out the topic and shouted: "Yiguang County City Guard." I give you a stick of incense time, if you don't open the city and surrender. I'm going to deal a devastating blow to you! ”

At this time, someone shouted at the head of Yiguang County, I am the county lieutenant of Yiguang County, who are you? Why did you come to attack our county, don't you know that attacking the county seat is tantamount to rebellion?

Li Yao shouted: "I am a nobleman of Qi Kingdom, I have come to regain my face, so I want to occupy your place!" ”

The county lieutenant of Yiguang County listened to Li Yao's words. I was puzzled: "Get back face?" What kind of face to look for? ”

Li Yao saw the confusion of the county lieutenant, so he shouted: "It is you Yiwang who don't give me face, so I want to occupy your place, do you surrender?" ”

How could the county lieutenant surrender, although he didn't understand what Li Yao said too well. But the county lieutenant's family property is in Yiguang County, how can he give up, and seeing that Li Yao has no siege equipment in his hand at all, and there are not many troops, he is still very confident in holding the county seat.

Li Yao also saw the county lieutenant's determination, so he asked, "Have the flying thunder cylinders been set up?" ”

The regiment commander looked at the erection situation and said: "The erection has been completed, and the test launch can be carried out!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Open the cannon, I want to let them know the power of the Flying Thunder Tube!" ”

A squad has one thunder canister, and a regiment has a total of 100 thunder canisters, and the regiment commander shouted: "Launch!" ”

A hundred flying thunder canisters sparked at the same time, and suddenly it rained down in the sky, some of the explosives fell on the city wall, some fell on the ground, and the soldiers in the area that fell on the wall were instantly blown up, and those who fell under the city wall blew up the mud under the city wall!

The county lieutenant has never seen such a scene, it is less than a stick of incense, and there is no one on the city wall, if he hadn't run fast, it is estimated that he would not even be able to find the bones now!

Fortunately, I let my family pack up yesterday, and now I hurry up and take refuge in the mountains, hoping that the capital will come to recover here as soon as possible, but where did these people come from, there was no trace of it! It's like it came out of nowhere, it's so weird!

After a test firing, the city wall was almost empty, and Li Yao shouted: "Go to a few squads, bury explosives in the city gate, and after the explosion, Su Feiguang will begin to occupy the city wall and control the city guards!" ”

After Li Yao gave the order, he quickly came out of a few shifts and went to the city gate with the explosives bag! The distance of 200 paces ran in the blink of an eye, and after planting the explosives, he lit the lead and retreated!

With a bang, the city gate was blown open, and Li Yao shouted: "The whole army is assaulted!" ”

Li Yao's army rushed into Yiguang County in a shouting of killing, and the bandit army quickly rushed to the city wall and confiscated all the weapons of the city guards, in fact, there was no need to collect these weapons and armor, because they were basically blown up by explosives! But to be on the safe side, it's sorted out!

As for the city guards, many of them are not dead, but crying, and many of them have been blown off limbs, bleeding profusely, and there is no hope of being saved! The bandit army can only let these people cry and stand on the city wall with expressionless faces!

The county town was already in chaos, Li Yao led a group to find the scout at the gate of the city, the scout led Li Yao to the granary, the person who guarded the granary was about to set fire to the grain, Li Yao shouted: "Quickly annihilate the enemy and defend the granary!" ”

There were only a dozen or so officials who set fire to the grain, and when they saw Li Yao's 1,000 fine soldiers coming, they immediately threw down their torches and surrendered: "It's none of our business, the county order made us do this!" ”

Li Yao saw that the granary was protected, so he asked, "What about the county order and the others?" ”

The scout said: "The county commander and others heard the news of the city breaking, and fled out of the city one after another, some ran to the deep mountains, and some ran to Yu County, we just followed quietly behind due to lack of manpower!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said: "Don't worry about running to Yu County, I'll give a company of people, you go and catch those who ran into the mountains!" ”

The scout said, "Yes! ”
