Chapter 18: The Giant Torch

According to Zhuge Liang's original plan, he mainly relied on grain forts to lure the Huns. He believed that the Huns knew very well that as long as the grain and grass transported to the front line were burned or emptied, the Han would not be able to organize an attack on Meiji. And Xihe, Shangjun and other places are not rich grain-producing areas, so much grain, I don't know if it was Thorn Shi begging grandpa to tell grandma, where did he get it, if it is empty, I am afraid that his position in Thorn Shi will not be guaranteed. Wait for the Han people to change the history of thorns, whether they have the ambition to fight Meiji or not, it will take half a year to say the least, and the crisis this winter will be lifted.

Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's calculations, the Huns would send a small team to surround the fort - the fortress was too small to be lined up with too many soldiers - and then the army went straight to the grain fort. The Huns were not good at attacking cities, so he relied on the two hundred people at hand, and he was sure to support Guo Huai and them to prepare their troops and horses to rush to the rescue, then they could wrap all the Hu cavalry dumplings.

But he only calculated the Huns, but he didn't expect that it was the Xianbei people who came, and how the Xianbei people would act, there was no case, let alone guess. But he didn't expect that none of the Xianbei people would refuse to come to the fort, and all of them went to the grain fort. Well, basically, as long as there are no accidents, my little life will be saved.

So one gave the order to wave the flag againβ€”this time it was a white flagβ€”and the other took a bed to sit on. The time was not big, seeing that the Xianbei people rushed to the front of the deer, the first few did not dismount, and directly put down the spear or flagpole in their hands, and picked up several gaps in the coarsely laid deer bar, and the rest of the crowd rushed in. At this time, there was also a white flag waving on the opposite grain fort. Zhuge Liang saw this. Then the heart was completely grounded.

Xianbei people, you fight for me. The surging rush into the grain fort was in a hurry to grab the grain. A few adults didn't go in, first, for fear of an ambush, and secondly, anyway, it was impossible for their own share of the property they had deployed and looted, so they didn't have to do it themselves. They all gathered near the deer outside the fort gate, glared at each other or laughed, and asked each other: "Why don't you go and fight the Han people?" ”

"Ahh If you have taken their food, you don't have to take their lives. Before I came out, my shaman grandmother told me that if you do more good deeds on this trip, the gods will bless you. ”

Besides, when those Xianbei people rushed into the grain fort to take a look, they saw more than a dozen large haystacks around, a large empty field in the middle, and dozens of wooden planks were laid on the ground. If there is that cleverness, he will use the flagpole, spear, and saber in his hand to poke the haystack, and according to the feeling in his hand, it should be all hay and no food. Where is the food? Could it be stored in the cellar. Are those planks the cellar doors?

With a "hula", all the Xianbei people flocked to the center of the fort - even if they didn't want to look through the cellar under the planks. They also could not stay at the door, because there were still their own people to squeeze in behind. It was so chaotic, but there was a troop of soldiers and horses rushing through the spurs, and they could cut down hundreds of them on the spot.

Of course, the Xianbei people are not stupid, the four adults have already sent their cronies out, covering the way and probing the surrounding situation, seeing that there is no one in the arrows, they no longer restrain the people, so they poured into the grain fort, and even shouted encouragement: "This wall is not very strong, it has been overturned, and many people have gone in to carry grain." Sure enough, there were Xianbei people who couldn't squeeze in and tried to hit the fort wall.

The Xianbei people who rushed to the center of the grain fort trampled on their horses, and sure enough, they heard the sound under the wooden plank, as if there was a hollow, and they were waiting to dig with a knife, and suddenly heard several loud noises, and the planks were trampled in many places, and the people shouted that the horses neighed, and made a mess. The people next to him did not ask if the fallen companions were injured, but pulled their necks and shouted, "How, have you seen any food?" Can there be silk? ”

However, even if those who fall down, even if they are injured, they should not be strict, while struggling to get up, they scolded: "Is there any, you also come down, and you will naturally see it." ”

The grain castle is quite large, Zhuge Liang saw from afar, at least thirty percent of the Xianbei people have rushed in, he couldn't help but secretly pinched his palm, he felt that the palm was cold sweat, and couldn't help but say to himself: "The gentleman is heavy, not light discoloration, even if the white blade and neck are also careful like still water." Kong Ming, Kong Ming, you taste conceited talent, compared to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but now that you meet the enemy, your heart is so flustered, how can you care about it? We must be more vigilant and save ourselves every day. ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly saw the fire in the grain fort opposite, although he had just warned himself, he couldn't help but stand up, applauded and smiled: "It's sold!" ”

The fire started from the haystacks on all sides, and the Xianbei people had no clue where the fire came from, but instinctively someone shouted: "There is an ambush!" When the lord outside the fort heard this, he hurriedly called to his subordinates: "Come out quickly!" ”

But this fire burned so fast, faster than the common sense of the Xianbei people, in the blink of an eye, not only around the inside of the grain fort all lit, but even spread to the outside of the fort, the ground was full of flames, thick smoke everywhere, and soon even those deer barricades turned into torches.

The Xianbei people in the fort were in a hurry to run out, but there were fires on all sides, and the passages and gaps in them were pitifully small, so they collided and trampled on each other, killing and injuring countless people - of course, more directly set the leather clothes on their bodies on fire, forming a human-shaped torch, jumping around. The Xianbei people outside the fort also hurried to flee farther away, and the adults who guarded them burst into flames, almost like headless flies. Zhuge Liang saw it on the fort and immediately shouted: "Such a mess can be captured by a horseman." Qing and the others dare to come out and kill the enemy! ”

The leader of the small force of 200 people in the fort was none other than the "lucky general" Jing Xiaoxiao, who was repeatedly injured but did not die, and immediately surrendered his hand: "I am willing to kill the prisoners from the commander!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help choking: "Uh...... If a certain is a scribe, there is no need to go to war, leaving ten people to protect me, and ordering Qing to capture the chieftain. When he finished, he added: "The one who takes the ochre is the chieftain." ”

Jing Xiaoxiao received the order, immediately went down to the fort, and led the department to open the door and kill. Half of his men were foot soldiers and half cavalry, and when the task was assigned, the foot soldiers formed a formation and cruised outside the fort, so as not to let the captives and cavalry come near, and he led the cavalry to kill people when they saw them, and shoot them when they saw them.

Jing Xunxiao has no culture, even if Xun gave him a good name, and ordered the subordinates to learn some words, he has been mixed for so many years, and he only knows Shi Yu in Douda's characters - there are only a dozen. But if you want to talk about the experience on the battlefield, it is still quite sufficient, don't rush to capture the chieftain first, just look for the Xianbei people who are gathered everywhere. If the pile is small, it will be scattered by horseback, and if it is large, it will be given two rounds of arrows.

Because he knows that although the enemy is in chaos for a while, he can also regroup, and the soldiers and horses under his command are too few, and the enemy can still pick up some cheap for the chaos, if he waits for the enemy to react and assemble, not only will he not be able to rush, but he may also be injured. Therefore, the primary purpose is to let the Xianbei people continue to mess around, and not let them get into a pile.

Soon, the small group of Xianbei people were scattered by Jing Huanxiao, and the remaining few large stocks were basically centered on the ochre robe, Jing Xiaoxiao didn't dare to rush hard, just fired arrows from afar. The Xianbei people returned with their bows, but their morale was falling, people's hearts were chaotic, and the hand that pulled the bow couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, Guo Huai finally led the troops to kill. Let's say that Guo Boji galloped to the destination, and before he had time to complete the train, he first saw the fire in the direction of the grain fort, and couldn't help but clap his hands: "It's it!" He no longer organized and formed a team, and ordered people to shout in Xiongnu dialect: "The Xianbei people have burned our grain, and they will all be killed, and if he burns our grain, we will kill him alone, and rob their weapons and war horses to pay for it!" ”

The Hun soldiers screamed strangely, and their eyes were about to crack - we have worked hard for so many days to ram earth to build a city, just waiting for the adults to divide all the food leftovers, and one person can take Meiji by giving a few grains, and then receive one or two stones for merit, and the whole year will be better. Where did these Xianbei dogs come from? If you grab food, you will grab food, how dare you set it on fire? Do you think the food of the Han people is so delicious? Spoiling grain requires five thunderstorms in the sky! At that moment, he hurriedly put on his armor and rushed north with a bow and knife.

Guo Huai instructed Qin Yi: "I will save Kong Ming by half, and my brother can go around the rest to the back of the captive, and be sure to annihilate them all." Qin Yilu was so frightened in the fort just now that his face turned a little pale, but now that the armor has been put on, the weapons have also been raised, and there are thousands of Hun cavalry around, he is bold, and he immediately waved the spear in his hand: "Boji is relieved, and watch Qin capture his Qukui and dedicate it to the lord!" ”

There were about seven or eight thousand Huns who participated in the construction of the city, as well as more than 1,000 Han craftsmen. Of course, the Han craftsmen have long fled without a trace, and most of the Huns are obedient and assembled, and at the moment Guo Huai took half of them, nearly 5,000 people rushed directly to kill them, and they saw that the grain fort was like a big torch that rushed to the sky, and the smoke went straight to the sky, and next to the torch were the Xianbei people who were jumping around like flies, and there were many of them like small torches, and there were almost no columns. So without hesitation, he rushed with his horse and stabbed with a lance - although Guo Boji was young, he had experienced more than a dozen battles of all sizes, and he had never killed so happily, and there was almost no enemy under the lance.

Organize the warriors, that is called the army, unorganized stragglers, in front of the army, no matter how high the individual martial arts, it is still fish and meat on the board. Whether the Huns or the Xianbei people, discipline and organization are generally not strong, but they are more or less organized, and there is organization and command, and there is cooperation, so that they can crisscross the grassland desert and not rely on the ability of bows and horses. Now that the organization has been disbanded, what combat power is there to speak of?

Guo Huai rushed to kill for a while, and saw Jing Junxiao from a distance, and couldn't help shouting: "Where is Zhuge ?!" Jing Xiaoxiao replied: "It's still in the fort, it's fine." He pointed his hand in the opposite direction of the fort: "The captive chief is here!" ”

It's not that the four adults don't want to run, but one is that many people from their families haven't come out of the grain fort - it is estimated that they can't get out - and they are still thinking about rescue and restraint, and the other is in the thick smoke and fire, all of them ran in the wrong direction, and then they were tripped by the arrows released by Jing Xiaoxiao's department, so they were still wandering around the big torch. Jing Huanxiao saw that every Xianbei Lord was still surrounded by dozens of nearly 100 horses, and knew that he couldn't gnaw at all, so he simply - I will give this credit to you, General Guo!
