The Western Xia Iron Cavalry finally broke up, and under the three-way rush of Wang Yan, Guan Ping, and Yue Peng, they were like lost dogs, and even the money, grain, grass, and women looted from Luojia Village were thrown away.

Wang Yan did not catch up, and it is an indisputable fact that the southwest horses of Western Xia were faster than the Sanzhou horses of Daliang.

At this time, Luo Cheng had already run to the place where the female dependents of Luojia Village were confined, and it was already a mess, and most of the female dependents leaning on the outside were killed by the fleeing Western Xia army, and there were only more than 20 living people left at this time.

As soon as Luo Cheng got off the horse, he was surrounded by the women of Luojia Village, and listening to the cry of the female dependents, Luo Cheng's eyes were also red.

Wang Yan just glanced at Luo Cheng's side, then turned his head and ordered his subordinates to quickly rip off the clothes and armor of the Western Xia soldiers.

In this battle, nearly 3,000 Xixia iron cavalry were killed, and Wang Yan only lost 100 people on his side, which is worthy of Guan Qingkun's private army, and the combat power is nothing to say, but the number is less, only 5,000 people.

In half an hour, more than 2,000 people changed their clothes, and the team suddenly became dressed as ordinary Western Xia soldiers, and half of the Liang soldiers dressed up, and the necklines of Western Xia soldiers were tied with a red cloth to make it easy to identify.

Luo Cheng walked forward with the female dependents of Luojia Village, and Luo Cheng knelt down on one knee and said.

"Thank you General for rescuing me, the villain is grateful! I don't know what the general intends to arrange for us. ”

"The grain, grass and horses are there, like walking southeast, crossing the valley road through the dense forest, there is a chain bridge at the mouth of the gourd, and there is a Liang army guarding there, and you will be safe when you get there." After Wang Yan finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and wanted to leave.

The female dependents of Luojia Village were about to speak, but they were stopped by Luo Cheng, Wang Yan's attitude was already obvious, he would not send someone to escort himself and others back to Hulukou, this cavalry team would definitely be of great use if it went deep into the territory of Liangzhou! Whether you can survive can only rely on yourself.

Luo Cheng asked Wang Yan for a hundred horses, and enough grain and grass to eat for three months, Wang Yan added some grain and grass, and the horses and grain and grass that could not be taken away, Wang Yan ordered to be killed and burned on the spot.

The Western Xia army will come back, these things can't fall into their hands, looking at the distressed appearance of their subordinates, they are indeed a little reluctant in their hearts, horses are important strategic materials in Daliang, especially the southwest horses produced in Xixia, they are even more precious in Daliang, and the knife goes down, and the heart is painful.

Luo Cheng is still taking his female dependents to sort things out, Wang Yan has already taken people on the road, the purpose of this trip is to cut off the food supply route of the Western Xia army, and by the way, to rescue the people of Liangzhou as much as possible, this is Guan Qingkun's entrustment to himself, not an order.

At this time, Liangzhou has been reduced to the territory of the Western Xia army, in order not to attract attention, Wang Yan's plan is to change the clothes he wears into the Western Xia military uniform, from the Western Xia iron cavalry that attacked Luojia Village just now, it can be judged that the Western Xia army at least scattered a lot of such teams to loot in Liangzhou.

Wang Yan searched the villages around Pingyu County from far and near, and sure enough, they were all broken, and there was another one that was the same as Luojia Village, but it was even worse, men, old and young were all killed, and only one hundred and ten female dependents followed the team like tethered animals.

The Liang army, wearing the uniform of the Western Xia army, took the lead and took the Western Xia army by surprise, and defeated the Western Xia iron cavalry at a very small price.

Untying the female dependents, Wang Yan gave them a number of horses and grain and grass for them to eat for March, and let them go southeast to Hulukou.

The ladies wept and sought refuge from Liang Jun, but were sternly rejected by Wang Yan, who knew that it was cruel to them, but there was no better way at the moment.

It takes four to five days to walk more than 200 miles from Pingyu County to Hulukou, and women may be slower, or it may be difficult to walk to Hulukou, and many of them have no experience of traveling far.

If you feel that you can't walk to the mouth of the gourd, you can hide in the nearby woods, the Liang army is attacking in the east, and it won't take long for the Western Xia to retreat, but the Western Xia army is looting in Liangzhou, if they are caught again, whether they can be rescued is unknown.

Ignoring the begging of the female dependents, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and ordered to set off.

Wang Yan really wanted to escort them back, but he had a more important mission to do, to burn down the Liangzhou granary! The granary of Liangzhou has been confirmed to fall into the hands of the Xixia people, the grain in the granary is enough for the 200,000 army to eat for half a year, if he can destroy the granary, the time for the Western Xia army to stay in Liangzhou will be shortened, and only by subduing Liangzhou as soon as possible can the damage of Liangzhou be minimized.

Wang Yan led the team eastward, trying his luck while hurrying, and the three roads were all grain routes that could transport grain, all of which were through Longguan and Zang Feng. Wang Yan arrived at the first grain road before dark, the official road of Liangzhou, the official road extends in all directions, and it is the smoothest road.

Wang Yan walked a section of the official road and found the residue of grain on a section of the road, which passed through grain and grass.

Wang Yan's team had completely changed their costumes and lay in ambush on the hill on one side, quietly watching to see if they could meet the grain and grass procession passing by.

All night, except for a team of Xixia iron horsemen in the past, Wang Yan did not stay on the pipeline, continued to go east, rested on the mountain road for a night, this second road also has no movement, to the east, the third road can also be regarded as an official road, is the official road to the granary of Liangzhou, if the grain is transported from this road is about two days later than the first official road.

Wang Yan found grain and grass residues on the road, this road transported grain and grass, Wang Yan found a hidden low hill, rested and rectified, and waited for dark, it only took half an hour from here to the granary, Wang Yan planned to take advantage of the night to launch an attack, no matter what, the granary must be burned!

Suddenly, the sentry sent a message, saying that it was found five miles away to transport grain, Wang Yan stepped forward to see that it was really the case, the long queue was endless, not to mention hundreds of carts of grain, these grain and grass can supply 200,000 troops for ten days!

Guan Ping looked at the two teams with gloomy eyes and whispered to Wang Yan.

"General, what should I do? To fight or not to fight? ”

Wang Yan looked at the two teams that were slowly approaching, and it took a long time to spit out two words.

"Don't fight! Burning the granary is the most important thing right now, if you can burn the granary smoothly tonight, it's too late to chase these two teams! ”

Guan Ping looked at the grain cart and gritted his teeth, and finally nodded, these hundreds of grain trucks are really a lot, but compared with the Liangzhou granary, it is not much.

Seeing the grain cart slowly passing by, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and persevered, and the line stretched for several miles, and it took an hour to pass

After the grain team left, Wang Yan only felt that his underwear had been soaked with sweat, and Guan Ping and Yue Pengju on the side were similar, both with sweaty faces.

Wang Yan gathered the people in front of him, and the sun was almost setting.

When night fell, there was a hint of coldness in the night wind, which brought up some dust.

Wang Yan asked his men to wrap the horses' hooves in bags, and a group of people came out from behind the low hill and headed towards the Liangzhou granary.

The granary of Liangzhou is built according to the mountain, two miles long and wide, it is a square city, there are more than 40 grain cellars in it, hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass, the Xixia army sent the elite to sneak into the city, opened the city gate from the inside and put the Xixia army in, the general who defended the city did not have time to burn the grain and grass at all.

The Western Xia army sent heavy troops to guard the granary, there were two barracks under the city pass, and the soldiers walking inside could be seen from a high place, the two barracks combined, at least more than 10,000 people, the city wall was brightly illuminated by torches, but there were not many soldiers on duty at night

The assault was purely looking for death, Wang Yan changed into a night suit and instructed Guan Ping to follow Yue Peng.

"I entered the city with the dark guards and lit a fire, and if there was no fire for two hours, you retreated to the mouth of the gourd, if there is a fire in the city, you should not act rashly, pay attention to the movements of the two teams under the city, and follow my orders to launch an attack."

Guan Ping and Yue Pengju led the order in unison, and Wang Yan took advantage of the darkness to touch the city wall.

The moon may not be accustomed to the cruelty of the Tangut people, so she deliberately pulled a cloud to block herself, and without the moonlight, the city pass was much darker.

Wang Yan had never done anything at night in his previous life, and the secret guards of the palace had obviously been trained in this area, and they were familiar with the road to the city, climbed the city wall, and followed the darkness into the city.

Maybe there are two elite troops guarding the city, the defense in the city is very lax, touch the wall, Wang Yan and the secret guard touched the grain cellar along the shadows, the defense of the grain cellar is even more lax, the soldiers who go out to patrol, there is no other protection outside the two people standing at the door.

Everyone had two gourds of fire oil on them, which were given by Guan Qingkun to facilitate the fire.

The map of the granary has been clearly remembered in his mind, and after touching the three military stations, Wang Yan successfully touched the entrance of the granary.

Wang Yan hid in the grain stack, waited for the patrolling soldiers to pass, slowly walked out of the grain stack, took off his night clothes to reveal the Western Xia military uniform inside, walked aside, and walked to the door of the grain cellar.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw Wang Yan coming, they saw his clothes and didn't even raise their weapons.

"This is a land of grain and grass, what are you doing here at such a late hour?" Although it was a question, the voice was not very harsh.

"I was ordered by the general to come to inspect whether you are lazy, these grains and grass are very important to our army, and we must not slacken!" Wang Yan said coldly, with a pressure in his voice.

The soldiers guarding the grain cellar believed it and straightened up.

Wang Yan walked up to the two with a smile, pretending to look up and down, and finally two cold lights shot out of the cuffs, and two thumb-thick steel needles had pierced the jaws of the two.

Dragged their bodies to the grain cellar, lifted the oil lamp hanging on the entrance wall, the grain cellar is really not small, the diameter must be ten meters, I heard Guan Ping say that the grain cellar mouth is small and small, in the shape of a round cylinder. At the bottom, a layer of grass and wood ash was laid, a layer of wooden planks was laid on top, and a layer of mats was laid on top of the planks, and then a layer of chaff and a layer of mats were laid, and then grain began to be put inside, although I don't know its depth, but such a grain cellar can definitely put a lot of things, the grain cellar was not sealed with soil, and it was only covered with a layer of wooden planks, and Wang Yan didn't take much effort to move the planks.

There are more than thirty such grain cellars, and these grains are enough for the Western Xia soldiers who invaded Liangzhou to eat for half a year! If they are allowed to stay here for half a year, Liangzhou is only afraid that they will be destroyed into a barren land.

He poured oil from two gourds on them, and then threw the oil lamps on the grain and grass.

Seeing that the fire was rising, and then it quickly burned, and the black smoke also rose, Wang Yan ran out of the grain cellar and returned to the assembly place, and the secret guards of the palace followed closely and returned one after another, and all forty people came back.

Soon, dozens of thick smoke rose from the grain cellar ...
