Chapter 49 Burning Grain and Grass

Time passed bit by bit, the noisy Hun camp gradually calmed down, in the middle of the night, people gradually fell asleep, Qi Yu they crawled on the ground but began to move slowly.

"You can find out where their food and grass are." Qi Yu asked hoarsely.

Xiao Wu quietly stepped forward: "The heavy grain and grass are in the southeast corner of the Hun camp near the position of the main account. ”

"Rockets can be brought." Qi Yu asked in a low voice.

Captain Qian stepped forward: "They are all worn." ”

Qi Yu nodded, and carefully observed the Xiongnu tent, the cowhide made the tent centered, the other cloth tents were scattered around, the horses were enclosed in the west, and the back of the main account should be the place where Xiao Wu said to store grain and grass.

His eyes rolled to his heart, and he whispered a few words to Captain Qian.

I saw Captain Qian leave quietly with 200 people, and Qi Yu took the remaining 200 people to sneak to the grain and grass.

Gesturing to the rear, the soldiers each took a few water bladders filled with fire oil and quietly sneaked into the place where the Huns stored their heavy grain and grass.

The right hand was raised, everyone stopped advancing, swinging left and right, the soldiers scattered, and in groups of two, they poured fire oil on the wooden cart loaded with grain and grass, and Qi Yu also touched it with a water bladder in one hand.

The soldiers quickly retreated to their hiding place after quickly scattering, Qi Yu couldn't pull out the water bladder plug for some reason, and when he was scolding his mother in his heart, he heard the voice of the Hun soldiers coming out of the tent.

His hands trembled in shock, and the cowhide bladder filled with oil was brought to the ground with a bang.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Qi Yu was already sweating from his forehead, so he hurriedly picked up the water bladder filled with oil and stuffed it between the two food bags, looking around for a place to hide.

Seeing that the tent curtain was about to be lifted, Qi Yu leaned down and got under the cart, and clasped the wheels tightly with both hands like a gecko to the bottom of the car.

I had just hidden a pair of cowhide boots in front of me, and the footsteps of the car were getting farther and farther away, and I just wanted to get down when I heard a sound of rushing water.

Qi Yu scolded secretly in his heart, when don't you save, you have to scare your grandfather to death when you are doing something.

After waiting for a while, there was no sound, and just as he wanted to withdraw, he heard a commotion from the horse and the battalion, and knew that it should be Captain Qian and they did it.

When the Hun soldiers heard the sound, they rushed out of their tents without bothering to get dressed, only to see the horses, which were supposed to graze quietly, running and running around in the camp.

The people watching the horses were chasing behind with their whips, and the Huns ran to the horses, camps, and the grain and grass suddenly quieted down.

Seeing this, Qi Yu took out the fire fold and lit the grain and grass carts one by one, and the fire light should be in the sky, and the Qi soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw the figure, and thought to themselves, the seventh prince really has a kind, and he actually set the grain and grass cart on fire by himself.

Soldier Xiao Wula bowed and released rockets: "Shoot rockets at the grain and grass carts." ”

I saw that the 100 grain and grass carts in the Xiongnu camp tent were burning, and the fire took advantage of the wind to burn to the cowhide tent of the Xiongnu general.

Qi Yu withdrew to his hideout with a black and gray face to join Captain Qian, and rode his horse in the direction of Yumen Pass.

"Report, General Mu, the Seventh Prince took five hundred soldiers to the Hun camp." The scout saluted.

"What!" Mu Chenmo was shocked in his heart, stood up and said to Gu Han, "Order two thousand cavalry to come with me to the rescue." ”

The gate of the Jade Gate Pass slowly opened, and before the two thousand men and horses had completely walked out of the city gate, they saw a group of men and horses running from far and near.

Mu Chenmo grabbed his horse and looked ahead carefully, raised his right hand, and motioned for the cavalry behind him to retreat towards the city.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Yu and his people had already rushed to the city gate, and when he saw that the city gate was open, he was about to rush in, and suddenly found that Mu Chenmo was riding a horse across the two gates, pulling the reins of the horse hard, and the two front legs of the war horse under him jumped high.

I saw that Qi Yu's black brocade robe in front of him was stained with loess, his face was black on the left and black on the right, and a strand of his hair was burned, and then he looked back, and the soldiers were all wearing dark clothes and looking at themselves with excitement on their faces.

Mu Chenmo turned his horse's head and followed Qi Yu and his party back to the main account, listening to Qi Yu with a black face along the way about burning the Huns' grain and grass.

When he arrived at the main account, Mu Chenmo sat on the top, looked at Captain Qian and asked.

"This time, the sneak attack burned grain and grass, who did I receive an order?"

Captain Qian looked at Mu Chen, whose face was dark, and sighed, and then looked at Qi Yu, who was a little indignant, it was rare for the Seventh Prince to make his own decisions, and he did not discuss it with General Mu.

"Report, General Mu, the Seventh Prince said that he was going on your secret order."

Mu Chenmo glared at Qi Yu with a dark face: "There are casualties." ”

Captain Qian hurriedly shook his head, but Qi Yu said unconvinced.

"Mu Chenmo, don't look down on people, this prince is a top three, how can they be injured."

Captain Qian hurriedly interjected excitedly: "Under the leadership of the Seventh Prince, there were no casualties this time, and all the grain and grass of the Huns were burned. ”

Looking at the embarrassed Qi Yu, Mu Chenmo spoke.

"Why did you make yourself look like this, you won't be arrested by the Huns, let Captain Qian and them save you."

Qi Yu jumped to his feet when he heard this: "How is it possible, this time I personally lit the Huns' grain and grass cart." ”

After speaking, he explained in detail how he avoided the Hun soldiers and ignited the grain and grass.

The more Mu Chenmo listened, the darker his face became, and a trace of coolness appeared on his back, fortunately, God bless this second goods, otherwise, he made a mistake, how could he explain to the emperor, and his life would definitely be over.

"Qi Yu, you are guilty of burning the grain and grass of the Hun camp with soldiers without permission." Mu Chenmo's face was gloomy and he said coldly.

When Qi Yu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then pointed at Mu Chenmo with an unconvinced face: "You are naked, naked jealousy, and a personal vendetta." ”

"Without the permission of your boss, if you go out with troops without permission, you should be fined 30 military sticks, and you will not make a big mistake by burning the enemy's grain and grass, and your merits and demerits will be offset and you will be confined for one month."

Qi Yu yelled at Mu Chenmo with an unconvinced face, Mu Chenmo waved at the soldier, dragged him out of the account, and threatened, as if he was resisting the thirty army sticks.

Qi Yu came out of the account, kicked the pebbles under his feet, and thought hatefully in his heart, this Mu Chenmo actually underestimated him, and had the audacity to confine him down, waiting for one day sooner or later to get it back with interest.

The fire in the Hun camp was finally extinguished, and General Eaton couldn't help but curse when he looked at the burned grain and grass in front of him.

"Treacherous Great Qi people, despicable villains, shameless people, I will kill you all."

After spilling out the qi in their hearts, not only did they start worrying again, but there was still a month left, and the white hair wind was about to blow, if they couldn't capture Yumen Pass or Yangguan by then, they would really have to retreat.

It is impossible to march and fight in the heavy snow, and without food and grass, what the soldiers will eat, this has been pieced together by the three tribes.

The Hun soldiers looked at the burned grain and grass carts, and waited for Eton to give the order to attack Yumen Pass.

The next day, the Hun cavalry came to the Yumen Pass and launched a fierce attack.

In his heart, he secretly said that Eaton This is the strategy of mourning the soldiers, the Hun soldiers who have no food and grass can only break the cauldron and sink the boat, and only by laying the Yumen Pass can they get supplies, and they did not dare to destroy all the grain and grass that day, just for fear of causing today's situation.

"Vice General Zhang, take five hundred people to light the rocket, Gu Han, order the crossbowmen to prepare, and General Li Fu, let the people quickly transport the prepared rolling wood and stones to the city wall."

Mu Chenmo was assigning the task when he heard the scout report: "General Mu, General Li is in a hurry, Yangguan is surrounded by the Huns." ”

"How many people are attacking Yangguan?" Turning to look at the scout, he asked.

"Eight thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry." The scout replied.

Mu Chenmo glanced at the battle situation under the city, and commanded Gu Han.

"You command for me for the time being, and I'll come when I go."

After getting off the city tower, he flew on his horse and galloped quickly to the camp tent of the hussar general, lifted the curtain and went in, and saw that Yang Xuan was already neatly dressed and ready to go out.

"General Yang, Yangguan is in an emergency, I will bring people to support, and you will guard Yumen Pass." Mu Chenmo said quickly.

Yang Xuan frowned when he heard this, his eyes rolled, now that the cavalry of Daqi is equipped with a repeating crossbow, the combat power is almost comparable to that of the Hun cavalry, this Mu Chenmo will not steal merit again.
