"I heard that the salt beans that I hated were a must, but I was negligent and forgot to tell the store when I entered the door......"

The pimple in Fang Ping's heart immediately dissipated again, and he hurriedly pushed his saucer with only a few salt beans left in the direction of this young man, "They have used a few herbs here, it is indeed very flavorful, if you don't dislike it, you can taste it?" ”

The young man tasted one and his eyebrows stretched, "It's really salty and delicious." ”

Now that they have eaten his salt beans, it is normal for the two of them to share these expensive dishes together.

The young man claimed to be surnamed Xun, ranking seventh in the clan, so he just called him Xun Qilang.

Although he ordered a bunch of dishes, he didn't eat much, except for the salt beans, he only picked a little tofu with a bamboo chopstick to eat, and the rest of the wine and food were almost untouched.

But for a small official with meager rice, this is definitely a rare meal, so when eating and drinking, the two naturally become familiar with each other.

Now that you know each other, you can ask each other some questions.

Fang Ping asked the young man where he was looking and where he served, and after the young man answered them one by one, he asked him a somewhat strange question:

The grain ships in Jizhou will leave as soon as they are unloaded when they arrive at the time, where did those ships go?

Of course, Fang Ping can answer this question, but Tai Shici can also answer it.

It is a small city, which means that its port is small, and there are few large merchant ships passing by.

But now there are grain ships carrying grain from Jizhou every day, and the port naturally can't accommodate so many ships, and Guo Wei, the general who defends the city, is unwilling to expand the port. Therefore, after those grain ships are unloaded, they will continue to go south for more than ten miles, there is a small wharf, which was originally a Wubao repair for its own use, and then gradually attracted some merchant ships to stop there and take a rest.

Tai Shi Ci observed for a long time, so he came up with an idea.

"Yuan Tan is a little secret, I just want to send more people to defend in the city, and there are more sentry scouts outside, but I can't think that I can also come from the sea." Tai Shici said, "If we can intercept these ships and go all the way north, how can we not get close to the hate?" ”

The accompanying generals glanced at each other, and immediately someone spoke, "The general thinks about it, we have more than 5,000 people, even if we can fit 100 people by grabbing one of them, can we still have dozens of ships in that small wharf?" ”

This is indeed a problem, but Tai Shi Ci has thought about it carefully.

"As long as there are three or five ships, it is enough." He said, "I'll lead the team first, and you'll be able to speed by land!" ”

"General!"

"General! Is it too risky?! ”

This move is very risky, these first dead soldiers have to withstand the siege of the dock defenders, quickly raid into the city, occupy the city gate, and hold on until the main force comes. The docks, the city gates, and the time when the city is guarding and waiting for reinforcements are all dangerous moves that will be lost by accident.

But if he can raid Kaesong, as long as he occupies the east gate and does not close, and when his soldiers and horses arrive, he will naturally get it!

At that time, even if the surrounding defenders noticed it, would there be any way to save the lit granary?

Tai Shi Ci looked at these partial generals, and his cold eyes lit up with fire.

"These two thousand elite soldiers are the hard work of Don't Pilot, since she has entrusted this task to me, how can I live up to the trust?!"

"General, but Don't drive has also said that you want the general to go back alive-"

Xun Chen, who came out of the winery, did not leave immediately, but climbed the east city wall and looked at the rather lively wharf outside the city.

Flags and sails are like a jungle on the sea, and from time to time ships enter the harbor and from time to time ships leave.

The soldiers were weary on patrol, and occasionally one or two petty officers stopped and made things difficult for the shipowners, who had been called up for service, and who, seeing the officer's trouble, hurriedly handed him a little money in exchange for them to let him go back on errands.

In fact, not even those rice boats can't be stopped, but only the Guo family's fleet can stop, as we all know, Guo Tu has always been very lenient to his people.

But this port doesn't even have a single warship.

Yuan Tan placed the granary in a city built by the sea, but forgot to arrange a navy here, and Guo Tu was only interested in getting a place to defend the city for his nephew, and he even forgot to remind Yuan Tan of such an important matter.

It was past noon, and the sun was slowly moving westward.

Xun Chen looked at the dock condescendingly, his face was always very calm, and he couldn't see the slightest contempt.

The attendant on the side spoke carefully, "Lang Jun is going to rest tonight?" ”

He shook his head slightly, "Who can sleep soundly here?" ”

“…… Pimp? ”

"Before it's too late, let's get out of the city." Xun Chen didn't say anything in the end, only coldly gave such an order.

At the same time as the group left, several merchant ships set sail from the small wharf more than ten miles away.

Tai Shi Ci stood on the deck of the big ship that broke through the waves and headed north, his eyes firmly and vigilantly watching ahead.

Lu Hangyu's wish was for him to return alive.

And Tai Shici's wish is to fight for her.

As the newly renovated gray walls of the city slowly came into view, the young general at the bow of the ship drew his sword.

If the gods of ancient legends were real, he wanted his and hers' wishes to come true.

Chapter 192

The sun gradually slanted westwards poured down on the gray piers of the city.

Several boats were docked on the shore, and there were men carrying goods, up and down the steps. The steps were paved with stone slabs, but they were in disrepair, some of them were broken, and some of the foundations under the steps were so unreliable that it was easy for a newcomer or a careless man to step on them.

In the spring, when it rains, if the sack of grain is thrown on the ground and stained with mud, the careless man will inevitably eat a whip.

The requisitioned locals cursed quietly as they unloaded the grain back and forth from the ship, carried it to the docks, loaded it on carts or carts, and transported it into the granaries of the city.

The army had set out, but the granary had not yet been filled.

I heard that the departure was supposed to be a month later, when the winter wheat would be ripe, and the city would be filled with enough food and grass for the army for a year.

Yuan Tan was really anxious.

But what happened next made the people of Jizhou not know whether to say that Yuan Tan's impatience hurt him or saved him.

From south to north, three grain ships came.

The south wind gradually began to blow in the spring, so the speed of the three full sailboats was also extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of you.

Ships from south to north were not allowed to dock at the wharf, which was General Guo's order. One of the captains frowned, and immediately walked up to the dock, and was about to shout a shout about the ship's owner to continue northward in fear, when a long arrow broke through the air and shot through his head like a meteor!

"Enemy attack - enemy attack! Fast! Hurry up and flint! ”

"Drumming! Drumming! ”

"Where is this enemy?"

When the three sailing ships rushed into the harbor and smashed the rest of the grain ships, the archers on board bent their bows and drew arrows, and the arrows pointed to the sky, and a rain of arrows fell! In an instant, the lazy and slack-free soldiers on the dock died!

The people fled in all directions, and the panicked soldiers fled with them!

The sailboat stopped, and a tall man jumped from the boat, dressed in armor, with a rattan card in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, like a huge wave under the roar of a raging wind, rushed to the dock and went straight to the city gate!

"Stupid pig! Stupid pig! At last, among the defenders on the city walls, there was a man who had just woken up from a dream, "Close the gates!" ”

"Close the gates! Close the gates! ”

"Archer!"

"Archery! Shoot arrows! ”

The defenders on the city wall woke up like a dream, hurriedly drew arrows from the quiver behind them, bent their bows and arrows, and the team led a shout, and the arrows poured down like rain!

Although the defenders kept repairing and reinforcing it, it was not enough time for them to build an urn inside the city gate, so as long as the gate was occupied by the enemy, there was a risk that it would immediately topple!

They must stop the enemy's speed and give the defenders time to close the gates!

Tai Shici raised the rattan card, and the group of people behind him also raised the rattan card.

They stood shoulder to shoulder, and after surviving this wave of arrows, Fu followed Tai Shi Ci and continued to kill - the dock was a hundred steps away from the city gate, and the defenders were hurriedly preparing to close the city gate.

When he saw the city gate, Tai Shici's pupils locked for a moment.

The two gates were not hung by hinges, so it took more than a dozen soldiers to push the gates, and there was no urn city inside. This is because the city is too cold, and it is also his luck.

But the little city was so cold that the gate was not even covered with iron sheets, but only a heavy wooden gate of two feet high and two feet wide—and that was his trouble.

The soldiers were shouting loudly, hating that the gates could not be closed any faster.

Tai Shi Ci was also shouting loudly, calling the soldiers to follow him forward, only hating that the city gate could not be closed any slower.

He took twenty or thirty paces forward against the rain of arrows, and saw that the gate was half-closed—

If this city gate is closed, not only will he not be able to burn the grain and grass repeatedly, but he is also destined to never go back!

Because a three-year-old child knows that a city never has only one gate!

Although the city is closed, the defenders can go out through its gates, and they don't need thousands of people to go together, just a team of cavalry, and some torches to burn the ship!

Tai Shici's teeth were gritted to death, and the tip of his tongue seemed to taste the smell of blood, and under such waves of arrows, there were already dead soldiers around him one after another! And he's so far from the city gates!

In the chaos of a rain of arrows and screams, his gaze suddenly stopped.

Not far from him, a horse was mounted on a cart, ready to haul grain into the city—

The day was a nightmare for the soldiers defending the city, not when the three sailing ships docked, but when the enemy general grabbed a horse, cut the rope that was around it, and turned over and mounted it.

How can a horse be equipped with a bridle? How can a horse that doesn't even have a saddle ride?!

But the general, after turning on his horse, grabbed the reins in one hand and carried his sword in the other, and rode his horse towards them! It was not a man or a horse, but a gale, a real tsunami!

When he rushed into the city gate, some soldiers hurriedly threw away the city gate, picked up the halberd, and tried to poke him off the horse, but the general grabbed the horse's belly, and the horse neighed, and raised the horse's hooves high!

A puddle of blood flew up, Tai Shi Ci crossed the first soldier, cut down the second and third soldiers, then turned his horse's head and rushed back to the group of soldiers guarding the city gate, in a mess, his target was aimed at the little officer who was commanding, and he rushed forward again with a clip on the horse's belly!

When Guo Wei arrived, he saw such a scene. A steady stream of enemy troops rushed into the city! The city gate is full of corpses, and it has been a mess for a long time!

Although the position of this guard was asked from Guo Tu, Guo Wei was not a complete straw bag, and he was thinking about a question after hearing the soldier's report:

The comings and goings of those grain ships are common to him every day, how many people can be carried on such a ship?

Since the enemy army only came with three ships, the soldiers could not exceed 500 at most, which means that this is just a small group of soldiers and horses, trying to take advantage of the chaos to take the city!

Thinking of this, Guo Wei's heart was settled, and with a wave of his hand, the herald waved the command flag!

The sun gradually shifted a few inches wester, and the clouds in the sky gradually became a golden red.

The drums beat excitedly, one after another, and shrouded the sky over the city of Hatji, and soared into the sky with the smoke of the warning beacon.

Bands of soldiers ran up, swordsmen, spearmen, halberders, and long-card soldiers, one after another, following the orders of the commander, following the command of the banner, and the sound of the drums that shook the whole city, like a black wave, surged towards the city gates.

Long ladders were erected beside the houses on either side, and crossbowmen with crossbows and longbows and quivers climbed up one by one.
