Chapter 40: Night Attack on Xingluocang

The great victory of this battle allowed the Wagang army to gather a lot of soldiers, and the prestige was unparalleled for a while, many people from Henan, Shandong, and Hebei came to take refuge, and the number of the Wagang army approached 120,000. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It can be expected that the Wagang Army will be at peace for a long time in the future, so that they can develop slowly.

However, Li Mi discovered one of the key places, this time the Sui army mobilized an army of 30,000 or 40,000 people, and evacuated the troops in many places.

And in the southeast of Xingyang, there is a famous granary called Xingluocang, which is the largest granary of the Sui Dynasty.

Xingluocang, more than 20 miles of Cangcheng, has a total of 3,000 cellars, each cellar stores 8,000 quintals of grain, and there are more than 1,000 officers and soldiers.

In the past, Zhai Rang had not tried to attack Xingluocang, but one defended, one attacked, and as long as they attacked to the west, then Luoyang in the west would send troops to launch an offensive.

And now Luoyang does not have enough troops to attack except for the army defending the city, and if he leads the elite troops to attack and defeat Luokoucang, he will not be short of food in the following days.

Thinking of this, Li Mi told Zhai Rang about this, and Zhai Rang asked Li Mi to bring 8,000 people to attack Xingluocang.

Li Mi led Wang Bodang, Shen Luoyan, Su Mu and some other generals to Xingluocang overnight.

From Xingyang to Gongyi, there is only a distance of eighty or ninety miles, and the march lasts for most of the day, and we arrive at Xingluocang in the afternoon.

Xingluocang is on the hill, where the terrain is high, there is a city wall, there are more than 1,000 soldiers and soldiers to guard, and they have already sensed the defeat of the Sui army and have taken precautions.

Although these 1,000 people were burned more than them, they held on to the ground, and 8,000 people wanted to eat it completely, and suffered heavy casualties.

This time, in order to win all the credits, Li Mi brought the generals who followed him, and wanted to rely on this merit to reward them for their merits, so that they could gradually replace the position of Zhai Rang's generals in the Wagang Army.

But if the loss is too serious, then it is a big plan for Li Mi.

Therefore, Li Mi called his generals and asked, "This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, do you have any good opinions?"

Shen Luoyan frowned and said, "The cangcheng of Xingluocang is high, and the city wall stretches for twenty miles, plus there is enough food, so it can be held all the time. Although there were no reinforcements from Luoyang this time, it was difficult to attack. ”

Wang Bodang shook his head and said, "I personally trained a team of archers and brought them all, but with the opponent's terrain, we couldn't shoot at all. And the opponent is condescending, and it couldn't be easier to attack us. ”

Li Mi frowned and thought, Su Mu asked curiously, "Why can't you assassinate?"

Hearing his words, several people looked at Su Mu, and Li Mi asked, "Su Mu, what do you mean?"

Su Mu said with a smile: "We can send a few people to touch in and sneak attack them, as long as the garrison commander is killed, it can cause chaos." ”

Shen Luoyan shook his head and said: "In such a place, killing a garrison commander, there must be someone who can take his place, killing one will not help." ”

Su Mu said again: "Then let's kill a few more people, and it's over?" ”

Wang Bodang said with a smile: "There are nearly a thousand of them, there must be good hands in the rivers and lakes, as long as we kill a few people, we will be discovered, and when the time comes, we will be surrounded by soldiers, and we will not escape death." ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "I know that Su Mu is brave and fierce, but in such a war, personal combat strength is almost useless. Even if he is a martial arts master, if his internal strength is exhausted, he can only die. ”

When Su Mu heard this, he said again: "Then what if the internal force will not be exhausted?"

Li Mi frowned and asked, "Su Mu, what do you mean?"

Su Mu replied: "One of the great characteristics of the longevity technique I have cultivated is that the internal force is endless, I can attack first, attract their attention, and let them surround me." Then Pushan Gong and Shen Junshi can sneak attack their generals, and you can cause chaos. Later, General Wang led the army to attack the granary at night, flanking from the outside in, which would inevitably make them unable to defend. ”

Hearing this strategy, everyone pondered for a moment, and Shen Luoyan said: "If Su Mu you can really attract attention, Master Li Mi and I can indeed sneak attack the generals." ”

Wang Bodang also said: "And it doesn't take too long to be inside, I will attack outside, inside and outside, as long as there is a moment of chaos, I can break through the city gate." ”

Shen Luoyan said again: "But if you want to do this, Su Mu is indispensable, and although my martial arts are high, I can't do it to take the head of the enemy of ten thousand troops, so I can only go to Pushan Gong in person to achieve the goal." But then you get into trouble. ”

When Li Mi heard this, he fell into a deep groan, he was strong in martial arts, but he didn't like to use force, and he assassinated Zhai Rang by hiding in a box and attacking him and seriously injuring him. The sneak attack on Wang Bodang was also disguised as a corpse.

This man is too careful and cherishes his life.

Seeing him groaning, Su Mu knew that this person cherished his feathers too much, and if Zhai Rang was here, he would definitely not hesitate.

Of course, a good leader should not put himself at risk.

Li Mi is a qualified leader, but Su Mu is very disgusted with such behavior.

He has decided to attract the opponent's combat power, and he can't make up his mind yet.

However, Li Mi pondered for a moment and still said, "Just do this, Su Mu, Shen Luoyan, you two follow me." ”

Seeing that Li Mi had made a decision, Wang Bodang went down to give the order.

In the dead of night, Li Mi, Shen Luoyan and Su Mu climbed up from the side hills in night clothes.

The mountains here are rugged, and they are all cliffs and loess, and ordinary people can't climb up at all.

But for a strong man like Su Mu and Li Mi, who jumped four or five feet high, these places were like walking on the ground, and Shen Luoyan was a little laborious, but he was not blocked.

The three of them touched the side of Xingluocang City, where the city wall was only more than three zhang high, and because it was built on the mountain, no army could come up from here, so the defense was the most relaxed.

The three of them looked at the high city wall, Su Mu jumped up directly, hung on the city wall, and listened attentively, twelve soldiers patrolled the city wall.

Compared to the tight defense on the front wall now, the directional strength here is really weak.

Su Mu gestured downward, turned over, swished, ran up to the city wall, and then turned into a long dragon.

I saw a long shadow pass by in the darkness, and without a sound, the necks of the eight soldiers had been cut, and blood spurted.

When the other four guards saw this scene, they were about to open their mouths to warn, but Su Mu had already squeezed into the middle of them, and the long sword was around it, and everyone's necks were pierced.

Twelve soldiers were killed by Su Mu in just an instant.

Then Su Mu drove straight in, ran along the city wall, turned into a black shadow, spun the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards the army guarding the city wall.
