Chapter 396: Burning the Granary

Several lieutenants around General Han felt that the problem was serious, and with the example of the beheading of the staff officers accompanying the army, no one dared to speak big.

"Are you all dumb, tell me whether Chen Yang abandoned the city and fled or did he have another purpose?" General Han said angrily.

"General, there is no more grain and grass in Chenyang Pengcheng, are they going to the granary at Longshan behind us. A lieutenant said cautiously.

"Fart, are you shouting to grab your food?" General Han scolded.

If you really go to grab food, everyone can still shout everywhere?

The adjutant did not dare to speak and stood to the side timidly.

"Tell me about it, too. General Han glared at them and said.

"They should be running away!"

"I think I'm going to grab food!"

"They only have two ways to go: grab food and abandon the city and escape!"

"Shut up! Send heavy troops to support the granary immediately, and the rest of the people will immediately attack the city!" General Han made a decision and immediately gave the order.

He also saw the current form clearly, it was so difficult, Chen Yang didn't abandon the city and escape, and now he has 100,000 sharp arrows to defend the city, let alone escape. Then his only purpose was to want his food and continue to hold Pengcheng.

"Chen Yang, in order to get food, you have made so many bluffs, I have taken your Pengcheng, see what you are going to defend when you come back?" General Han said secretly in his heart.

The defenders on the city walls saw the dense crowd of torches outside the city, lighting up the night sky outside the city. The shouts of killing shook the sky and rushed to the city gate.

The arrows of the city flew down like locusts, and in an instant, they were killed and wounded, and the arrows of the armies of all nations also flew up to the city. Both sides were heavily wounded and wounded, filling the night that had just fallen with the smell of death.

The army of all nations was forced to retreat under the pressure of the sharp arrows on the city, and the siege failed again, which left General Han with nothing to do. The walls were high and thick, the moat was wide and deep, and there was no water at this time, and it became an insurmountable chasm.

General Han returned to the tent of the Chinese army and pondered the way to break the city.

At this time, Chen Yang had already led thousands of elite soldiers to disguise themselves as Zhou Chengxiang's soldiers, and swaggered to the periphery of Wanguo's granary in Longshan.

The defenders of the granary blocked Chen Yang's way and asked, "What are you doing? Hurry back, or you will release the arrows!"

"General Han knew that the defenders of Pengcheng were coming to snatch the grain and grass, and specially asked Prime Minister Zhou Cheng to send troops to rescue, hurry up and open the gate to let us in, otherwise we will leave!" Kuroko shouted loudly.

"It's really fake! I didn't receive an order from General Han that Prime Minister Zhou's army came to help guard the granary. What part of you are here, get out of here. The defenders shouted.

"Big brother, what should I do if they don't open the door?" Kuroko whispered.

"Retreat two hundred meters. Chen Yang said.

"Listen to the defenders of the granary, if you don't let us in, we will go back, if Zhang Chuguo's army comes, we won't care!" In the shouts of the sunspot, Chen Yang began to slowly retreat with his elite soldiers.

"The other party is really gone, maybe it is really the rescuer sent by Prime Minister Zhou?" said the man guarding the door.

"Let them wait for a while, and I will report back to General Wang and let General Wang decide. When one of the gatekeepers finished speaking, he ran into the camp.

"Prime Minister Zhou's army, don't retreat yet, let's go in and report to General Wang, and wait until you are ordered to come in again!" shouted the soldier guarding the door.

Chen Yang waved his hand, and the elite soldiers stopped.

"Heizi, you bring a dozen brothers over, give them some silver, and exchange some water for them to drink, and say that we ran all the way and drank the water, and took the opportunity to seize the city gate!" Chen Yang said.

"Yes, you group will follow me in, and the door of the granary will be moved immediately. Kuroko said to the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Gate who followed him.

More than a dozen people followed the sunspot, under the cover of the night, and walked generously towards the door of the granary, shouting as they walked: "Brother guarding the door, our General Chen said, we got the order to run all the way over, the water is drunk, let me exchange my little silver for some of your water to drink!"

Seeing that there were only a dozen people coming with kettles and other things holding water, the hundreds of people guarding the door didn't pay attention, and said: "What kind of silver do you want, we have water here, you can drink enough!"

Kuroko and the others walked into the door of the unsuspecting granary with a big grin, took out a lot of gold and silver and scattered them through.

When the defenders inside saw that the ground was full of real gold and silver, they immediately grabbed it frantically, and Kuroko picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it against the gate made of wooden sticks with all his might, and smashed the door apart at once, and the thick wood flew in all directions.

"Big black man, I'm going to open the door for you, why did you smash the door!" several of the defenders said angrily.

The kettle and other things in the hands of Kuroko and the others flew into the gate of the granary in unison, and smashed on the soldiers who were still bending down to pick up gold and silver, the jar was shattered, and the liquor inside was spilled all over the ground.

"It's wine, it's not good, they're the defenders of Pengcheng, they're here to burn our granary!" several soldiers smelled the wine and immediately reacted.

But it was too late, and the liquor was ignited and burned quickly.

Chen Yang rushed over with thousands of elite soldiers pushing a cart, hay and liquor were thrown onto the granary, the fire was blazing, and the granary was in a panic.

Heizi led people to set fire to the grain, seeing that the grain was swallowed up by the fire, the heart was distressed, the people in Pengcheng had already run out of food, and they were gnawing on the bark of trees every day to satisfy their hunger.

Chen Yang took half of the men and horses, and under the escort of other soldiers, loaded hundreds of carts with grain, loaded half of the carts and immediately retreated.

General Wang, who was guarding the granary, was in this remote place, and there was a large army guarding it, where did he think that the defenders of Pengcheng dared to run out of the city to rob the grain, and dozens of days of peace and quiet made him relax his vigilance, and when he saw the skyrocketing fire, he was so frightened that he was gone.

Under the frantic attack of hundreds of sunspots, the defenders of the granary did not dare to resist and retreated again and again. Even the soldiers who were fighting the fire, when they saw the spreading fire, they couldn't go up, they couldn't put out the fire at all, and they began to retreat.

The army of all nations, who rushed to the rescue, looked at the fiery night sky illuminated by the fire in front of them, and knew that the granary was burned.

When they arrived at the granary, the grain had been burned to ashes, the ground was full of dead bodies, and the shadows of the two Pengcheng defenders were not visible.

"Give me chase, I can't let the defenders of Pengcheng transport a grain back to Pengcheng!" ordered the lieutenant who led the team.

The army of all nations began to pursue in the direction of Chen Yang's retreat, and as soon as they chased for more than ten miles, they saw a flickering torch shaking in front of them.

Below the torches stood a number of soldiers, and a stone's throw away from them, the pursuers of all nations stopped.

"Deputy Marshal, that Chen Yang is a god, his tricks are extremely powerful, how can ordinary people like me be his opponents, see them motionless, don't be a trap set for us anymore!" said a Qianhu Hou.

"Archers, shoot them off immediately!" the lieutenant commanded.
