Chapter 102 Night Attack on the Granary

Coming out of the main city of Iquique, two thousand Central Plains light cavalry were already ready to standby. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Glitter looked at the warm sun in the sky, and said a little speechlessly, "This Juliel's reaction speed is much slower than we thought, we are all about to circle around the territory of Iquique, and their people have not come." ”

Xu Shu smiled confidently: "Hehe, don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, since Joyce's scouts have confirmed their dispatch, then it is only a matter of the past two days that they have arrived here." ”

Gray nodded, and was about to say another when a light cavalry sped in from a distance.

"Report to the lord, ten miles to the east have found traces of enemy troops!" The soldier rolled over and dismounted, and immediately reported it.

Gretel's eyes lit up, "Do you see whose army it is?" ”

"They are well-armed, but they look extremely tired, very different from the army in Iquique, most likely the First Army of Julil!"

"How many people?"

"Four military brigades!"

"Four military brigades!" An inexplicable smile appeared on Gretel's face, and he looked at Xu Shu, "This Julier really looks up to us......

Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction: "The more they come, the easier it will be for our plan to succeed!" ”

Glitter turned over and got on his horse, "Let's go, when our soldiers find them, they must have also discovered us, ten miles away, we can start our dog walking plan!" ”

Gretel, Xu Shu, and Zhao Yun took the lead, and the two thousand Central Plains cavalry did not follow the route they came, but ran straight to the north!

And Julier's four major armies are obviously also in control of Gretel's movements, and as soon as Gretel's two thousand cavalry were activated, Juliel divided five thousand cavalry and quickly chased after him under his personal leadership.

As for the other soldiers, the two armies followed behind, spreading a wide net, and the two armies marched straight to the northeast, and Julil's intention was obvious, blocking Gretel's southern route out of Iquique Province, and forcing Gretel to fight them!

The speed of the Central Plains light cavalry is still very fast, and the endurance of the good horses produced by the system is excellent, after running all morning, I found that the pursuers behind had a faint feeling of not being able to keep up, and in desperation, Glitter had to slow down!

In this way, Glitter led 2,000 soldiers in front, and Julil led 5,000 cavalry behind, chasing and fleeing, and the direction was straight to the northern border of Iquique Province!

The Bicht lord of Iquique did not disappoint Grett either, and along the way with two thousand cavalry, the army of Iquique's territory avoided one after another, allowing Glitter to roam freely in the province of Iquique!

At the same time, in the southern part of Roque Province, a lurking army took advantage of the darkness of the night and began to march slowly!

"Lord Wenhe, uh, why do you feel so weird when you attack with you?" Xu Chu looked at Jia Xu who was observing the enemy camp with his waist in front of him, and couldn't help scratching his head and said.

Jia Xu gave him a roll of his eyes and pointed to the enemy camp, "Joyce's intelligence should be completely correct, the enemy's camp has shrunk by three or four times, and now the rest is estimated to be the strength of a military brigade!" ”

Xu Chu smiled: "Then our plan will be easier......"

Jia Xu shook his head: "No, since the enemy really only has one army left, our plan needs to be changed." ”

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and said with some grievances: "Didn't you say it before?" Let me kill the Quartet, Wenhe Military Division, how to change? ”

Jia Xu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Before, we considered that the enemy would leave two or three military brigades, so we decided to attack the granary at night, but since the enemy only left one military brigade, with the strength of our current eight thousand soldiers, it is not difficult to swallow them, so, this time, I am going to come to a big field, the grain in the granary, we want it, these twelve thousand five hundred soldiers, we have to eat it too!" ”

Xu Chu's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "Hehe, Wenhe Military Master, I suddenly found that you have too much appetite for me!" ”

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head, "Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang!" ”

Xu Chu shouted excitedly: "The end will be!" Jia Xu hurriedly covered his mouth, this fool, as soon as he heard that there was a battle, he was too excited, they are not far from the enemy camp now, fortunately it is night, if it is such a voice during the day, it is really easy to be discovered by the enemy.

"You lead seven kills and one department, and after half an hour, attack the granary from the front!"

"The last general commands!" Xu Chu whispered, but replied sonorously, hugged his fists, and immediately went to the rear to order troops.

"Tai Shi Ci!"

"The last general!"

"You lead the Seven Kills and Two Divisions, and ambush with me on the road to the barracks to the granary, and when the enemy reinforcements arrive, attack immediately."

"The last general commands!"

As soon as the military order was given, the 8,000 troops gathered together immediately turned into two torrents......

Late at night. The already cold world seems to have swallowed up the last trace of warmth by this night. The bitter north wind howled like a devil. In front of the gate of the grain depot in Roquexing Province, twenty heavily armed soldiers fought a cold war from time to time, and in such a cold weather, even if they took turns to keep vigil, I am afraid that no one felt sleepy.

"Damn, the brothers of the first four armies all followed General Julier to the front line to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but they left us to guard the granary, not to mention the cold, and when they returned victoriously, we didn't have any fart, I was just fed up with this kind of life!" One of the soldiers suddenly yelled.

The companion beside him let out a "hey" and touched him with his arm, "Speak quietly, although this is our own brother, but if any of the night guard generals hear it, be careful not to die and have to peel off the skin!" ”

"Hmph, be careful, except for our brigade guarding the granary, the other four brigades are all staying on the front line, Lord Julier plundered a large number of little girls before, and now that the adults are gone, haven't these girls become the bag of our general, on such a cold day, who would be stupid to come to the night patrol? Hmph, if I were a general, two girls in one building, I would definitely be happy in the bed......"

"You know the general's personality very well......"

Suddenly, a tall man appeared in front of everyone. The twenty were shocked.

"Where's your captain?" Before the soldiers could ask, the general-looking young man was the first to speak.

The soldier who was full of complaints before said tentatively: "That, our captain is in the camp tent in front, I don't know who you are, the general of that brigade?" ”

The young man smiled, his smile was bright and sunny, although it was not dazzlingly handsome, but it still gave a touch of warmth to the cold winter night. After all, it is very rare for a general who is so courteous and virtuous to smile at the soldiers.

"My name is Tai Shi Ci, the word Ziyi, and I am a subordinate of General Gretel in Seoul."

"Tai Shi Ci? Seoul? ”

"Seoul !!" The soldier was stunned!

"That's right, it's Seoul!"

"Hiss...... "Hiss" Tai Shici's body moved, and twenty blood fountains immediately spurted out from the throats of twenty soldiers!

"Seven kills and two! Kill! Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly!

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Like a call from hell, it was like a roar from the thunder of the Nine Heavens, and the shouting and killing sound that arose in an instant suddenly tore through the night sky where the north wind roared!

The sound of killing suppressed the wind, and the sound of killing woke up the sleeping soldiers!

"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"

A pikeman in black armor is like a ghost in the night, where the soldier passes, those who wake up, those who don't have time to wake up, those who are neatly dressed and disheveled, are mercilessly strangled!

The grain interception operation was unexpectedly smooth, except for the captain of the fifth brigade who was killed by Tai Shi Ci's arrow, the Seven Kills and Two Divisions barely encountered any effective resistance!

Of course, to achieve such a great victory, taking advantage of the night, running thousands of miles is one thing, and the strong strength of the ironclad infantry is probably the most basic factor.

A brigade, 2,500 people, was slaughtered by seven killings and two divisions in just twenty minutes!

The goal this time is not as simple as burning the enemy's food, the main city of Morton is already facing a serious shortage of food at the moment due to the large-scale recruitment, and the enemy's hoarding of food is the best time to send charcoal in the snow!

Under the instruction of Tai Shi Ci, two thousand ironclad pikemen took out the grain bags that had been prepared a long time ago, loaded the big bags of grain, and carried them to the carriage prepared a mile away, and stored the warehouses of the grain of the last few provinces, which were rapidly reduced, even so, the grain depot was too big, and a lot of grain could not be taken away, in desperation, Tai Shi Ci could only throw down three hundred soldiers here again to look at the grain depot, and then command the remaining 1,400 soldiers to run towards the place agreed with Jia Xu, and at the same time of leaving, Facing the granary that had been looted, a fire suddenly burst into flames!

The 1st Regiment of Julil was stationed in camp.

Jace, the general of the Fifth Army, had just eaten two young girls, and before he could completely sink into his dream, he was awakened by the soldiers outside the big tent.

"What's the matter? Panicked? Jace opened the tent rather dissatisfied, he was wearing only a pair of underwear, and the cold wind blew, and he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his neck.

And the soldier in front of him pointed to the north with a frightened face: "General, please look, there is a fire in the direction of the northern granary, I'm afraid there is a big fire!" ”

Jace's sleepy eyes immediately woke up, and he fixed his eyes to see it, but no, the black rumbling night, a large field of fire was churning in the night, like a demon and a monster!

"Damn, these brutes, they know that something bad is going to happen sooner or later, General Julier is gone, let them guard a granary can't be guarded, the weather is dry, they must have lit a bonfire again to keep warm, and the result ignited the granary, damn it, come on, order down, the first brigade will stay in the camp, and the second, third, and fourth brigades will immediately follow me to support the firefighting!"

The granary is the lifeblood of the First Legion, and the amount of grain hoarded here is huge, the purpose is to support the encirclement and suppression of Morton by the two armies after the beginning of spring, if the granary is damaged, Jace can't even imagine what Julill will do with him!
