Eight hundred and sixty-first chapter night raid Xindu

Wang Wuhong is a small farmer in Zhaozhou. He was originally a simple person and a little cunning. But after following his cousin for ten years, his cunning was still the same, but his simplicity was gone and he became very greedy.

He led hundreds of people to the Youzhou Army camp. A good cowhide tent made him jealous. This kind of camp is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can shelter from wind and rain. It is no different from a room. A large tent costs at least hundreds of tents.

He quickly thought in his mind that there were at least two thousand big tents in it, and one big tent was worth 200,000 tents!

He suddenly became jealous and pointed with a horse whip: "All these big tents need to be removed and transported back!"

"General, these big tents need to be transported by big trucks, why don't we find the big tract first?"

"What's the hurry?"

Wang Wuhong glared at his subordinates, "I haven't finished watching it yet!"

He came to the warehouse tent area again, where there were hundreds of extra-large tents, each covering at least two acres of land. However, they were not leather tents, but ordinary wool tents. However, this kind of large tent covering two acres is more expensive, and is usually used by wealthy families when they go out to play or hunt.

Wang Wuhong was more concerned about the materials in the tent. When he saw the piles of grain like a hill, he saw bundles of leather armor and bundles of spears, especially when he saw the boxes of copper coins, he could no longer hold back and turned around and ordered: "Go back to the city!"

Wang Wuhong led his men back to the city, and immediately ordered 5,000 soldiers to be dispatched, and requisitioned 1,000 civilian vehicles to go to the Youzhou Army camp to transport supplies. He specifically instructed him to move them back together with the wooden fence.

It will take at least three or four days to transport the materials left by the Youzhou Army. It will take two days alone for 200,000 stones of grain and more than 100,000 dan of forage.

A thousand carriages and five thousand soldiers began to travel between the camp and the city. Li Wujun was worried that the Jin army would arrive again, so he ordered Wang Wuhong to complete the transport within two days.

In this way, there was no rest at night. The soldiers held torches and guarded the carriages. The 20-mile official road was filled with flames, making them look particularly busy.

At this moment, General Xu Yun had led 10,000 cavalry and quietly approached Xindu City and stopped two miles away from the city.

This is what Yao Jinliu made. He actually brought 40,000 troops to write to him, of which 30,000 were stationed in the camp, and another 10,000 cavalry were stationed in Nangong County.

When Yao Jin led 25,000 cavalry to pursue the north, these 10,000 cavalry quietly arrived twenty miles south of Xindu City, waiting for news of the scouts.

Xu Yun was a general of the Longyou Army and stationed in Hezhou for many years. He was about 40 years old. He joined the Hexi Army as a general Lang, and started as a lieutenant again and followed Guo Song to fight south and north. Now he has accumulated merits and promoted to the general of Yingyang Lang and was awarded the title of County Bo. He is not only brave and good at fighting, but also very strategic. Using the materials left over from Youzhou Army as bait was the plan he proposed.

It was two times before, and Xu Yun was still patiently waiting for news about the vanguard soldiers.

The gate of Xindu North was wide open, and the front of the gate was brightly lit. Dozens of soldiers stood in front of the gate, monitoring ox carts loaded with supplies entering the city and leaving the city.

Of course, a thousand ox carts did not go together, but came intermittently. Generally, fifty ox carts and a hundred soldiers were in a team.

At this time, another ox cart came from a distance. A coachman was driving a big cart. Each cart was followed by a cavalry on both sides. There were fifty big carts. A lantern was hung on the shaft of the big cart, with the words "Wang Ji" written on it. This should be the cart of the king's mule and horse carriage in the city.

Fifty ox carts slowly drove towards the city gate, unlike other big carts. The fifty ox carts were actually covered with thick oil cloth. They obviously didn't want people to see what was covered underneath. The soldiers on the city wall were all guessing that there must be Wang Wuhong's things below, probably a money box, and that bastard was greedy for money.

"Correspondent?" asked a brigade coach in front of the city gate.

Of course, the password is needed. What if the enemy takes the opportunity to sneak in?

"The horse is not fat without night grass!" replied the leader of the cavalry.

This is Wang Wuhong's catchphrase, which he used as a password.

With a wave of the coach of the brigade, the ox carts continued slowly. The ox carts were indeed recruited from the city, and they were indeed said to have joined the company on their own initiative. Manager Yue from Gaosheng Inn spent 100 stags to rent from Wangji Mule and Horse Store. The chasing staff were all his subordinates. Of course, he didn't have that many subordinates and they were replaced halfway, so he knew that the command was normal.

The ox carts entered the city one by one. When they reached the 32nd, the guards of the city accidentally discovered that the things on the car moved.

‘There are living things inside!’

The coach of the city guarding the city was confused. He looked carefully again and found a pair of feet in a gap.

There was someone inside, and the guard-guarded traveler immediately shouted: "Stop, lift the tart cloth, we need to check!"

When the cavalryman saw that the other party had discovered it, he immediately shouted: "Take it!"

The oil cloth shouted and all opened. The soldiers were squatting inside. They jumped off the ox cart one after another. The guards beside him waved their hand and stabbed the brigade guards fiercely at the gatekeeper. The brigade coach was caught off guard and was stabbed in his shoulder by a spear. He screamed and fell down from the moat.

There was a chaos at the city gate. Each of the fifty ox carts transported twenty people, plus the coachman and guards, a total of 1,150 scouts of the Jin army, led by scout general Zhou Zhi.

"Snatch the city gate!"

Zhou Zhi shouted, and everyone immediately divided the troops, with five hundred people holding spears and shields blocking the city gate, and Zhou Zhi personally led 500 people to kill the city.

At this time, three rockets shot towards the sky, and the flames crossed the sky and exploded with a "bang!" in the air.

Xu Yun, two miles away, was waiting for this signal. When the gunpowder arrow exploded in the air, he immediately shouted: "Get into the city!"

Ten thousand cavalry started, and suddenly thousands of horses galloped, dust flew, and the earth began to tremble.

The two-mile land was just a momentary thing for the cavalry. In a moment, the vanguard of ten thousand cavalry had already reached hundreds of miles away from the city gate.

Three thousand soldiers were coming to support the North City Gate. They suddenly saw the cavalry coming from the city. They were all stunned. Someone shouted, "Escape quickly! It's not worth working for Li Wujun."

The soldier shouted out everyone's voice. They had been doing their duty for the soldiers before, but in the face of life and death, their duty was no longer important, but became worthy of working for Li Wujun?

The answer is unquestionable. Li Wujun is not kind, he is selfish, and has a bad reputation. If it weren't for the military salary, who would have been his soldier?

Three thousand soldiers turned around and fled to the city. At this time, Xu Yun took the lead and took the lead in Xindu City...

The city of Xindu was in chaos. When the people in the city heard that the Jin army entered the city, every family closed its doors and the soldiers were no longer willing to work hard for Li Wujun, taking off their armor, throwing away their weapons, and hiding in scattered places.

The only one who worked for Li Wujun was the Three Thousand Direct Guards, who were stationed next to Li Wujun's palace. The Three Thousand Direct Guards occupied the palace. They squatted on high walls and roofs to shoot arrows at the besieged Jin army.

The Jin army did not rush to attack the Zhao royal palace, but sent three thousand troops to shoot against the enemy's bows and arrows, while the other troops cleared the remaining resistance forces at the city gate.

At the fourth update, the Jin army had eliminated all the resisters in the city and began to gather at the Zhao Palace.

In the darkness, arrows flew towards him. Xu Yun looked at the Zhao Palace, which was shrouded in darkness, and a general whispered: "General, you can use iron fire and thunder to blow the wall!"

Xu Yun shook his head. After the wall was blown up, the soldiers rushed in and fought with the enemy. The enemy's three thousand straight guards were all selected strong soldiers, with strong combat power, and their cavalry advantages could not be used. Since they defeated the opponent by relying on their military strength, they would suffer a lot of casualties.

Xu Yun asked calmly: "Are there houses around?"

"Report to the general, there are no houses!"

Xu Yun immediately ordered: "Start gunpowder arrows!"

Eight thousand soldiers fired flaming gunpowder arrows at the same time. The overwhelming gunpowder arrows soared into the sky and shot into the palace with flames and began to burn quickly. The gunpowder arrows used by the Jin army were specially used for combustion, with large heat and rapid combustion, and could quickly ignite various flammable materials, wheat straw, window paper, mosquito nets, curtains, etc.

After three rounds of gunpowder arrows shot, hundreds of fire points appeared in the entire palace, and the fire began to spread, and it was one. Half an hour later, the Zhao palace turned into a sea of ​​fire.
