Chapter 67: The Burning of the Granary
"Your Highness, this Su Qi'an is not an ordinary person, he is very likely to really attack our army's granary."
This sentence directly made Cook Shu, who was in a good mood, frown.
He put down his pen, looked at Liu Shengming, and said coldly, "Sir, your talent and strategy, this king sees it in his eyes, and he also understands Mr.'s concerns." ”
"But if Mr. wants to say that this Su Qi'an wants to raid our army's granary with no more than 2,000 men and horses, this is really a joke."
"Not to mention that the location of our army's granary is in the rear of the army, and there are countless soldiers patrolling back and forth around it, there are three floors here and three floors outside, even if it is a fly, don't think about going in."
"Even if this Su Qi'an has great magical powers and really entered the rear of our army, how can he deceive the grassland eagle that this king has cultivated for many years and used for reconnaissance?"
Liu Shengming, who said this, was a little speechless.
What Cook said is really reasonable, not to mention anything else, with the prairie eagle that Da Rong Guo has cultivated for many years, any Da Liang soldier can see through the disguise.
After so many years, he has never missed.
Su Qi'an has vast magical powers, and he can still be invisible.
Seeing that Cook Shu looked a little displeased, Liu Shengming came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
Cook Shu's face softened slightly, and he said softly, "This king knows that Mr. cares about this Su Qi'an very much, but this king still says that, no matter what Mr. does, this king will support it, but all considerations must be subordinated to the overall situation, Mr. can understand." ”
"My subordinates understand." Liu Shengming bowed, and then withdrew from the big tent.
Liu Shengming, who walked out of the big tent, felt the galloping anger of the war horse, looked into the distance, and muttered softly.
"Yes, my Darong army is so powerful, what is a little Su Qi'an? Can it still be turned upside down? I guess I'm overthinking. ”
As time passed, another three days passed quietly, and the army of Cook Shu was basically assembled.
On the side of Zhenjuncheng, for three days, there was basically no reinforcements.
It was at this time that the trumpet sounded as the attack of the Daiei army sounded.
The army like a tide, roaring, suddenly launched an attack on the town in front of him...
At this time, about a hundred miles away from this battlefield, in a desolate yellow sand.
Except for the endless yellow sand, there is not even half a cent of vegetation around, it looks very desolate, there is no anger at all, if you really want to be angry, the sky overhead, from time to time there will be a long roar of eagles.
Gradually, the light on the horizon was soon replaced by the darkness of the night, and a full moon hung high in the sky, pouring out the cool night, and a chill surged.
At this moment, in the dead yellow sand below, the sand was constantly flowing, and gradually, a person emerged from the sand.
They were all stained with yellow sand, and they didn't even let go of their own faces.
One after another, there are at least thousands of people, but these people who suddenly appeared, they didn't shoot off the dust on their bodies at the first time.
Instead, he hunched his body and quietly gathered together, for fear of making any noise, and slowly moved forward against the biting cool wind blowing.
Even with the help of the moonlight on the horizon, if you don't look very carefully, it is difficult to find that there is an army in this desolate place.
This army is the one in the mouths of the warring parties, the army of Su Qi'an and others who have disappeared without a trace.
In order for this sneak attack plan to be implemented smoothly, Su Qi'an can be said to have put a lot of effort into it.
After leaving the moat, he did not go straight to the nearby military city, but found a desolate place nearby.
Everyone, including Su Qi'an, buried themselves in the yellow sand and dust, and this stay was for several days.
When the whole army gradually adapted, Su Qi'an led the army to go out day and night, and quietly advanced.
The reason why he did this was to avoid Daiei's scouting eagle.
For the reconnaissance eagle cultivated by Da Rongguo, Su Qi'an had already heard of it.
Properly trained, he is indeed a natural scout, but the eagle is an animal after all, and has his fatal flaws.
That is, it is not possible to detect for a long time, especially at night, and the vision can be described as a sudden loss.
Generally speaking, the Daiei army would use the Scout Eagle for reconnaissance during the day, but rarely at night.
And the reason why Su Qi'an didn't move for the first few days was just in case.
Fortunately, in the past ten days, they have not encountered the eagle's night reconnaissance, and think about it, the general night reconnaissance is an emergency.
And who will be fine, to reconnoiter the eagle in their own direction, this is not a waste of resources.
This strange army led by Su Qi'an is impossible to fight.
In the past ten days, this strange army really went around the rear of Daei's army unconsciously.
It's just that as they gradually approach the rear, Su Qi'an and them are ushering in the crisis of the real test.
If it is said that the previous day and night out was just to deceive the reconnaissance eagle, but when it comes to the place in front of you, it is useless to make the so-called day and night out.
Because in the front, there are groups of patrolling soldiers back and forth, no matter how good Su Qi'an's disguise is, he can't deceive this group of patrol soldiers who have been patrolling for almost twenty hours after all.
The only way is to attack, but this time the attack on Su Qi'an is not the main force, but someone else.
Su Qi'an and the others quietly lurked behind a pitch-black sand dune.
The soldiers behind him all showed a murderous aura on their faces at this time, and their hands were unconsciously clenching their weapons.
With the help of the soft moonlight on the horizon, if you look closely at the clothes and armor stained by the yellow sand, you will find that this does not seem to be a Da Liang ornament, but seems to be worn by the Da Rong sergeant.
About a mile ahead, there were soldiers patrolling back and forth from Daiei, all of whom were holding their breath, waiting for orders to be given at any time.
Time passed slowly, I don't know how long I waited, the temperature in the air seemed to drop a lot again, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
At that moment, a rapid sound pierced the sky, and flames in the sky burst like fireworks.
Then, in another direction, a loud roar approached from afar.
The soldiers patrolling back and forth immediately whistled and shouted, "Someone, enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
Before the sound could fall, an arrow struck the soldier in the chest, and finally fell to the ground.
But soon, countless soldiers rushed out of the countless large tents in the rear.
The crowd roared, and the armies of both sides immediately collided, and a skirmish began.
And Su Qi'an was still motionless, his eyes were fixed on the battle that broke out between the two sides, as if he was waiting for something.
The army that suddenly rushed out from the rear of Darong was none other than the reinforcements from various military cities that Su Qi'an was responsible for.
These reinforcements, according to the intelligence reconnaissance of Cook, were indeed halfway through the march and quietly returned to the city.
It's just that this return to the city is not a military city, but an acropolis.
To be precise, it is an acropolis that has been abandoned for many years, and this acropolis is not good, but there is one point, his geographical position is very high, and it can be said that it is completely a sharp knife that breaks into the rear of the Daei army.
It is said that a hundred years ago, it was a stronghold set up by General Yue for the Northern Expedition to recover Qing and Youerzhou.
Unfortunately, with the failure of the Northern Expedition and the imperial court's military policy towards Ningzhou, which was mainly defensive, this stronghold was completely inconsistent with the imperial court's strategy.
Therefore, abandonment, time flies, and a hundred years have passed, even the second prince on the opposite side of the Cook Shu did not know that such a stronghold existed.
If Su Qi'an hadn't read a lot of the history of the Hundred Years War in Ningzhou, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that one day, he would be able to use this stronghold.
In order not to attract attention, Su Qi'an ordered the reinforcements returning to their respective military cities, each city drew out a thousand elites, and quietly assembled towards this ruined city in batches and many times.
The reason why Su Qi'an did not choose to go to this ruined city is because this ruined city is geographically closer to the other five cities.
Second, if the elite soldiers of the five cities want to reach the ruined city, they need the combat cover of the army of the five cities, just like the elite of the five cities gathered, covering Su Qi'an is the same reason.
The two sides were fighting, constantly fighting, the battle was very anxious, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while, which was exactly what Su Qi'an wanted.
On the other hand, he was right, Kukshu really gathered all the troops and planned to storm the town of Juncheng, and the soldiers responsible for guarding the granaries would not exceed 10,000.
Now, most of these tens of thousands of soldiers were stopped by the elite of the five cities, which gave Su Qi'an an an excellent opportunity.
When the war between the two sides continued to heat up and reached a stalemate, Su Qi'an gave an order.
"Let's go, get through here as fast as you can, quick!"
In an instant, the soldiers behind Su Qi'an rushed out and set out.
As they approached, the fighting Darong soldiers also discovered Su Qi'an and his group, and they glanced at it with a tense expression, with great joy in their eyes.
He said, "Warriors of the grassland, follow me to kill all these cool people, and rush with me!" ”
When the words fell, the Darong soldier who took the lead in the charge never expected that behind him, the bright and dangling broadsword fell at him.
The body and skull split in two, and fell to the ground weakly.
Su Qi'an's strange army, without any stopping, rushed towards the interior at the fastest speed.
Along the way, everyone is like a rushing torrent, no matter who they are, they will be swallowed by the rolling torrent the next moment.
was caught off guard, Su Qi'an and others directly dispersed the Darong soldiers, and those Darong soldiers who came back to their senses wanted to go to stop them, but they were once again dragged by the elite of the five cities.
I could only helplessly watch this "honored soldier" who came out of nowhere and gradually approached the granary inside.
Breaking through the layers of defense lines, Su Qi'an and the others finally arrived at the general granary of the Darong army.
In front of me are huge granaries, each of which is more than ten meters high, and more than a dozen people can't circle around it.
Roughly speaking, this total granary can supply at least 80,000 Daei soldiers.
Su Qi'an quickly recovered from the shock and shouted, "Quick, ignite the fire, and leave no one behind." ”
Countless soldiers behind him immediately rushed to the various granaries, and after a while, this foundation, which carried the southward invasion of the Daei army, was gradually shrouded in thick smoke, and then, a ball of flames rose, even if it was more than ten miles away, you could see the raging flames rising in the dark night sky.
