Although Junyang County is located in Xiyang County controlled by Wang Shichong, but because it is close to Xiangyang, and is the place where Danshui enters the Han River, the strategic position is very important, and it has actually become the most important material transfer center of the Tang Army.

The Tang army built hundreds of warehouses on the west bank of Danshui, stacked countless grain supplies, and stationed an army of 3,000 people, although it was still Wang Shichong's territory, but in fact it had been occupied by the Tang army.

On this morning, an army of unknown origin appeared on a small road west of Junyang County, this army was all cavalry, about 1,000 men, very well equipped, and the cavalry were all burly and tall, with strong arms, as if they were specially selected soldiers.

This army is the Sui army just established a new army 'wind and thunder', all the soldiers are selected from the 10,000 scout army, the scout army itself is composed of the elite of the Sui army, and they are the elite of the elite, all brave and good at fighting, strong martial arts, not only close combat bravery, but also good at riding and shooting, they are equipped with the best armor and equipment of the Sui army, their swords and war lances are made of iron, even the war horses are specially selected from the Liaodong horse farm high-quality war horses, both can travel long distances, but also can rush over short distances.

The creation of this Fenglei army is Zhang Xuan's idea for a long time, and now with the support of strong national strength, this army was born, the leader of the army is Liu Lancheng, who has just been promoted to Huyalang General, and there are two capable lieutenant generals, one is called Zhang Li, the other is called Li Keshi, and Li Keshi is Li Jing's younger brother, only twenty years old this year, and they are all rising stars recommended by Shen Guang to Zhang Xuan.

The task of the Wind and Thunder Army is to attack the logistics of the Tang Army in Xiangyang and weaken the combat capability of the Tang Army, according to various previous intelligence, Liu Lancheng locked the first target in Junyang County, they came from Hefei, traveled thousands of miles, and after a little supply and rest in Zaoyang County, Chungling County, which is close to Xiangyang County, they crossed Tongbai Mountain and entered Nanyang County, and traveled day and night, and went around Junyang County.

The soldiers rested in a valley about three miles away from Danshui, patiently waiting for news of the scouts, for Liu Lancheng, who led the troops to fight for the first time, he was under a lot of pressure, he knew that his task was related to the development of the southern war situation, the king of Qi told him that it was impossible for them to stop the Tang army's eastward crusade, but hoped that they would delay the pace of the Tang army's eastward crusade as much as possible, and buy time for the Sui army to assist Xiao Mo to resist the Tang.

Liu Lancheng with two scouts stood on a hill and watched the situation at the bottom of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain is Danshui, and continue to the south less than five miles is the wide Han River, because it is about to be injected into the Han River, this section of the Danshui River is very wide, can sail a thousand stone ships, and the water flow is very gentle, it is an excellent place to build a wharf.

On the other side is Junyang County, the county seat is very small, and the circumference of the city wall is only eleven or twelve miles, and Liu Lancheng's gaze is retracted to the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is the warehouse group of the Tang Army, distributed on the east bank of Danshui, stretching for seven or eight miles, there are about fifty or sixty large warehouses built of wood, and a Tang Army camp is located in the easternmost part of the warehouse group, about two miles away from the warehouse, the wharf is just located between the barracks and the warehouse, the three are distributed in the shape of a product, the wharf is full of thousands of stone ships, there are dozens of ships.

After observing for a while, Liu Lancheng returned to the valley with two of his men.

Back in the valley, Liu Lancheng asked the soldiers to invite two lieutenant generals, and the three of them discussed the battle strategy in front of a big rock, Liu Lancheng drew a sketch and said to the two: "The focus of our attack this time is the warehouse, I plan to burn down all the warehouses with a fire, and the ships don't want to let go, but we have to face the Tang army, the distance is too close." ”

"Excuse me, general, how many troops are there on the other side?" Li Keshi asked.

"Judging from the area occupied by the other party's military camp, there are about three or four thousand people?"

"Will there be a garrison in the county as well?" Zhang Li also raised his own questions.

Liu Lancheng shook his head, "The county seat has no strategic value, they are here to protect the wharf and warehouse, not Junyang County, unless there is no local garrison on the east bank, but I see that there are many places around the barracks, and it can be expanded again, so I can conclude that there is no garrison in the county seat." ”

Liu Lancheng's analysis convinced the two, and Zhang Li smiled: "Then in the general's opinion, how should we fight this battle?" ”

Liu Lancheng's thick fingers pointed to the military camp on the map, "As long as this army is killed, the warehouse and dock will be the turtle in our urn." ”

.........

Junyang County is rich in wood, the Tang army took local materials, built more than 50 large warehouses with wood, surrounded by fences, the warehouse was filled with more than 100,000 stone grain and various military supplies, this warehouse is the most important transit station of the Tang Army, the defense is extremely tight, 3,000 soldiers are divided into three shifts, day and night to guard the safety of the warehouse, you can see everywhere a team of soldiers patrolling in the warehouse, the people who come in to carry the grain are also guarded by the soldiers, any fire is not allowed to be brought into the warehouse, the south side of the fence is the warehouse gate, More than 100 soldiers were stationed in the garrison, and all the people who entered the warehouse were strictly searched.

Although the jurisdiction of Junyang County belongs to Luoyang, it is actually within the sphere of influence of the Tang army, which is far away from the territory of the Sui army, and it is located in a remote area, so the Tang army is not against the Sui army to defend, but against the surrounding small group of bandits and bandits, and three thousand garrisons are enough to deal with it.

As usual, a group of more than 100 Tang soldiers was patrolling along the fence to the east, which was close to the mountain and was also the focus of the Tang army's defense.

As the patrol walked past a watchtower in the middle, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the hill and hit the sentry in the throat, and the sentry clutched his throat and tumbled down from the watchtower.

The heavy sound of falling to the ground alarmed the patrol soldiers, they pulled out their knives and ran towards the guard tower, just when they were ten steps away from the guard tower, suddenly countless arrows appeared from the crack in the fence, blue Yingying glowed with poisonous light, only to hear the sound of a bowstring, dozens of arrows shot at the patrol soldiers, the Tang soldiers wailed, one after another fell down with arrows, the Tang soldiers behind were frightened, turned around and fled, but could not escape thirty steps, a poisonous arrow shot out again, shot down most of the running soldiers, only ran away a dozen people.

"There is an enemy!"

The soldiers ran wildly and shouted, "Someone has come in!" ”

At this time, the alarm bell sounded on the guard tower, and nearly a thousand Tang soldiers in the warehouse ran from all directions to the place where the accident occurred.

"Boom!"

The camp fence was pulled down, and a gap as wide as three zhang appeared, and two hundred cavalry of the Wind and Thunder Army led by Zhang Li entered the warehouse, and at this time, Tang soldiers killed from all directions.

"Formation!"

The cavalry quickly became four squads, each team of fifty people, each soldier held a round shield and a war lance, urging the horse to kill in four directions, the soldiers of the Wind and Thunder Army were extremely brave, each of them could be one enemy five, they were fifty people as a team, with tacit understanding, played a great cavalry advantage, and reversed the situation in a moment, killing a thousand Tang Army soldiers all over the ground, fleeing in embarrassment.

At this time, Zhang Li lit a fire stick, the fire stick is a necessary thing for the scouts of the Sui army, in fact, it is to dry the strips of oil-soaked linen cloth and sulfur powder together into the dry bamboo tube, and then wrap the outside with oiled paper, this kind of fire stick is a little bit, can burn rapidly, is an excellent fire thing, Zhang Li threw the lit fire stick into a forage warehouse, the soldiers followed suit, and soon set fire to more than 20 warehouses.

Two hundred cavalrymen joined forces in one place, turned their horses, and went to the gate of the camp to kill.

The alarm bell and the smoke that sounded in the warehouse alarmed the big camp two miles away, the Tang army captain who commanded this army was named Song Wenfu, he was having lunch, and suddenly heard the alarm bell from afar, he couldn't help but be stunned, put down his chopsticks and walked out of the big tent, and a soldier reported: "General, it seems that something happened in the warehouse." ”

Song Wenfu immediately shouted: "The whole army gathers immediately!" (To be continued.) )
