Chapter 393: Jiang Xiao's admonition

Lin Xuan's troops hurriedly responded to the battle, and they had a headache when they encountered the Futu army, and it was difficult to hurt the opponent's invulnerability, but it was not soft at all to cut down the people on their side.

Now the three major forces all know that they need to use long hook soldiers or long army to deal with the Futu Army, but who would have expected them to appear in the rear?

Tang Niu didn't even expect that the other party would come around and sneak attack the granary.

Lin Xuan's hands were all very ordinary infantry and archers, and it was difficult to fight in a targeted manner.

But he can't run away, after all, the granary is the most important logistical support, and he will definitely not lose it with his head!

Once the granary was breached, leaving the Zhou army without food, Lin Xuan became a sinner.

Faced with this situation, the only thing that can be done is to hold on to the whole army and try to delay. At the same time, a distress signal was immediately sent, hoping that the main force in front would see the signal and rescue in time.

Lin Xuan thought so and did the same.

Let his subordinates light the beacon fire and wolf smoke, and lead his army to block the entrance of the granary, and set up a square formation to intercept the Chinese army.

The fortifications were destroyed by the other side, and the flesh and blood were used as the walls.

But the domineering charge of the Futu Army doesn't make any sense at all, anyway, you can't break through my armor, and you will be in pain directly face to face. There were crossbowmen behind to cover and shoot, Lin Xuan's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers behind began to waver.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat!" Finding that the situation was not good, Lin Xuan personally rode his horse to meet the enemy in order to boost his morale, "Kill the enemy with me!"

His trick still had some effect, and the soldiers who were originally flustered and wavered regained a little confidence when they saw that the Lord would take the lead in person.

When Dewey saw Lin Xuan personally coming out of the battle, he immediately raised the silver snake spear and charged with his horse: "Dewey, the hussar general of the Chinese Kingdom, is here!

At this time, Lin Xuan couldn't retreat, once he retreated, the morale of the army immediately collapsed. So he raised his gun to meet Dewey: "Lin Xuan is here!"

The two ran wildly opposite each other and quickly rushed to one place.

"Look at the gun!" Lin Xuan made the first move, stabbing Dewey in front of the door with a fierce shot.

"It's a good time!" Dewey flicked the silver snake spear lightly, blocking Lin Xuan's attack, and stabbed him in the heart with a backhand.

Lin Xuan was startled and hurriedly dodged away. When the horses staggered, they turned back and stabbed their pistols out.

Dewey turned around at the same time, and the silver snake spear accurately swept away the spear and swept it directly.

Lin Xuan hurriedly leaned over, barely avoiding the attack.

The two generals rode around in a circle, and you fought back and forth for fifteen rounds.

Lin Xuan was not an opponent after all, he was pierced through the lower abdomen by Dewey's spear, and then the whole person was picked into the air, fell to the ground hard, and was killed on the spot.

Killing Lin Xuan, Dewey shouted: "The enemy general Lin Xuan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The morale of the Chinese army was greatly boosted, and they all shouted: "The enemy general Lin Xuan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!!"

The sound came and went, and it was particularly shocking.

Generals are the core of the army. Especially the main general, it is the core of the core.

When the defenders of the granary found out that the main general was killed alone, and the morale of the dragons dropped to the bottom in an instant, where was the courage to continue fighting?

What's more, it is still facing the famous Futu Army.

Some chose to turn around and flee and quickly leave the area, while others abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

The Zhou army collapsed in an instant, and the granary guards were easily breached.

Dewey led the commander of the army straight in and quickly issued an order: "Take everything that can be taken, burn the fire that can't be taken, and don't leave a grain of grain!"

After receiving the order, the Chinese army immediately went into action, frantically carrying military rations from the warehouse, carrying as much as possible. At the same time, he ordered the surrendered Zhou soldiers to help and transport food to them.

They did everything they could to remove a large amount of military rations, but in the end, if they couldn't get it away, they had to set fire to it and burn it all.

At this time, one of the surrendered soldiers found Dewey and hurriedly said to him: "General! It's a pity that so much grain has been burned! The villain is a scout in the army, and when he reconnoitred the nearby terrain, he found a hidden valley, which few people know. The valley is empty, so you may be able to hide military rations and take them in batches!"

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Dewey asked him suspiciously, "You are from Zhou, why do you want to advise General Ben?"

"General, these grains are all from the people, and they are saved one by one. The villain is also from a poor people's background, although he joined the army, he did not dare to forget his roots. No matter whether you are in the Zhou army or surrender, you can't waste food. Maybe for the general, what he can't take away is the enemy's supplies, but it's the blood and sweat of the people!"

Dewey nodded when he heard this, thinking that this person was interesting: "What's your name?"

"General Yu, villain Jiang Huang (shu), millet of millet rice!"

"Hmm~ This name is good and appropriate!" Dewey nodded, "What you just said is true?"

"It's true!"

"Very well! General Ben believes you. Dewey immediately ordered the burning of the granary to be turned into a removal of all the grain, and Jiang Xiao was the guide, and it was transported directly to the hidden valley in his mouth.

All the soldiers acted together, pulled away the Zhou army's grain from the granary, and set off with Jiang Xiao, and sure enough, they found an extremely hidden valley, which was inaccessible.

Immediately the army hid the grain in the grain, and turned back and continued to carry it until the whole granary was emptied.

In order to prevent the people on Tang Niu's side from discovering the problem, the last fire burned down the empty granary and quickly evacuated.

Dewey attached great importance to Jiang Xiao, who had been kept by the advice, mainly to the eye, and asked him if he wanted to stay by his side and do things.

Jiang Huang knew Dewey's identity, not to mention that the hussar general had a very high status, just because he was the righteous brother of Ning Ze, the king of Danyang, and he was one of the top figures in China. This is a great opportunity to rise to the top, and I never dared to think of it before.

As a low-level soldier, he fought with him just to get a bite to eat, barely surviving. As for who exactly he works for, he doesn't care at all.

In his opinion, what Huaguo, Zhou, Liang, and Nancheng, in the final analysis, are still the princes split from Dacheng, and they are fighting around like a group of people competing for power, and there is no difference.

Dewey personally solicited, how could he not agree?

So Jiang Huang stayed with Dewey and listened to his call.

The Chinese army smoothly transferred the military rations to the hidden valley, first took a small part on the road, and then retreated temporarily, and discussed with Ouyang Chun to transport the remaining military rations.

On the other side, the beacon fire and wolf smoke on the side of the granary did not attract the attention of Tang Niu's army. After all, it was late at night, and the distance was very far, so I didn't want to be able to see it clearly in the daylight.

It was the fire that burned down the granary when Dewey left, reflecting half the sky, that attracted attention.

If you notice something is wrong, the patrol officer will report it to the authorities.

The officials of Zhou State were alarmed, and found that there seemed to be a fire in the direction of the granary, and hurriedly informed Tang Niu.

Tang Niu was startled, the granary was the most important logistics supply station for the army, could it be that Lin Xuan was not strict in his care, which led to the fire?

At this moment, some soldiers discovered wolf smoke by the light of the fire, realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly reported the discovery in time.

Only then did Tang Niu know that the granary was attacked!

There was no time to think about how the enemy avoided the main army stationed here, quietly entered his own territory, and how he found the location of the granary, and hurriedly dispatched the general Li Ling to send troops to the rescue.

Li Ling led the cavalry on a long journey and desperately rushed to the location of the granary.

When they arrived, they found corpses strewn all over the field, and all of them were lying on their own soldiers.

The granary has been burned to charcoal, and nothing can be saved.

Li Lingbing divided into two groups, and a team patrolled the surroundings to investigate who caused the fire. The other team hurriedly investigated the identity of the deceased, hoping that Lin Xuan would escape, and if he could be found, he might be able to find out the cause.

For Li Ling, who was seriously deficient in military intelligence, either the enemy army quietly entered the granary and attacked the granary, or the local people of the Di tribe attacked.

There are also several factions within the Di Clan, and there are some uncontrolled local bandits, is it possible that they did it?

The soldiers sent to investigate around did not find any clues and did not find any suspicious characters.

After all, Dewey had already left, and he had led his troops to fight for a long time, and he also knew how to quickly hide the footprints of the army, leaving as few clues as possible, so that the other party would not be easy to pursue.

There are no clues in the surrounding investigation, but there is terrible news on the side of the granary - the body of the guard Lin Xuan has been found!

Obviously, Lin Xuan was killed in battle.

Li Ling was quite shocked by this, after all, Lin Xuan's martial arts were strong, and he originally thought that he would not die here so easily.

Subordinates reported that all the soldiers here had died from swords and crossbow arrows, and in addition to the destroyed defenses around the granary, there were obvious signs of explosions.

This ruled out the possibility of an attack on the granary by local Di bandits.

Speaking of explosions, judging from the military information mastered, it must be the Chinese army.

At least the Chinese army has a variety of explosive weapons, which are quite prominent in this era, and no one can imitate them for the time being.

When Tang Niu led his troops to attack Huajun, he suffered this kind of hardship.

According to this, it is obvious that the Chinese army attacked the granary, killed Lin Xuan and set fire to everything.

Soon, some of the found deserters verified this claim.

From the mouth of the deserter, Li Ling learned that the whole thing had happened.

It turned out to be Dewey who led the Floating Slaughter Army, as well as crossbowmen who used explosive crossbows to launch a surprise attack on the granary. Lin Xuan led his troops to fight to the death, and was finally defeated.

When dawn, Li Ling led his troops to search the surroundings, but in addition to finding more deserters, he didn't see the shadow of the Chinese army, and he really couldn't understand where they came from and where they left.

In desperation, I could only go back to report to Tang Niu and explain the situation in detail.

Tang Niu learned that it was the Chinese army that attacked and burned down the granary, and Lin Xuan died in battle, and his mood was complicated.

The destruction of the granary will deal a blow to the morale of the own army, and without military rations, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable.

In order to solve this problem, the leader of the Di tribe, Servant Poison, was asked to temporarily contribute the grain and grass looted during this time.

Although the servant poison was reluctant, he did not dare to disobey his orders.

This will only alleviate the problem slightly and will not deal with the problem. Tang Niu sent people to Puzhou to urgently collect grain, which was extremely guaranteed to supply.

At the same time, in order to protect Lin Xuan, who died in the battle of the granary, he was crowned General Erpin Zhengdong and gave his family a pension.

This is done to show everyone that the person who has fought to the death for his country does not have to worry about his family being left unattended, and the credit will be remembered!
