Chapter 3056 Raid, night attack

He was determined not to let Wei Yan go to bed...uh, the boat.

After getting on the boat, I will definitely say that I will rub it first...

Wei Yan rubbed the guardrail on the warship, as if there was sandpaper in his hand polishing wood, and the rough calluses rubbed against the guardrail.

The heart is itchy and the hands are itchy.

But I have to endure it.

If it were someone else's order, Wei Yan would have rushed out impatiently and then arched the food bowl...

Well, capture Shan County...

In the Cavalry Group, Wei Yan could only obey two people. One was Fei Qian, because Wei Yan admired Fei Qian the most, and was willing to obey Pang Tong because he had seen Pang Tong's operations on Wuguan Dao and knew that Pang Tong's black fat bird was not simple.

Like most generals from poor backgrounds, Wei Yan also likes to fight on the front line. This habit is not good, because this way of combat is not suitable for most people. Once later generations think that the front line generals are correct, there is a high probability that they will fall directly into the pit.

Not everyone can handle the front-line generals. Some people may think calmly and arrange them safely when they are far away from the tragic death. However, as long as someone dies in front of him, they will immediately become panicked, their minds are dull and like a stone, and they can't move. Before such people can only be placed in the back line at most. It will harm people if they really put them in the front line.

At the same time, from the overall perspective, military academy needs courage, while generals cannot only be brave.

This may be the most fundamental factor that Pang Tong ordered Wei Yan not to cross the river. As a general, the most important thing is naturally the "general" and "general". Those who only know "general" or only know "general", obviously are not qualified generals. As for those who have mixed names, there is no more "general".

『Down the sail! Down the anchor!』

When approaching the other side, Wei Yan ordered.

The sailor stabilized the hull, then threw the anchor into the water, making a loud sound. After a while, the boat was pulled and creaked, and then stopped on the water.

『Let the boat go! Set out!』

Wei Yan asked someone to let go of the small boat tied behind the butt of the building, and then watched the small boats slowly row towards the opposite shore in the sound of water. The boats were not big, with three in total, each with ten people.

Wei Yan glanced at Jia Hong beside him.

Jia Hong held Wei Yan's sword with expressionless expression on his face.

Although the expressions are not so clear in the night, both of them can understand the other person's meaning from the other person's body language...

"Look, I haven't gone!"

"You'll be dead when you're over!"

Three tower ships were dispatched as cover, and Wei Yan lived among the tower ships, and there were only 30 soldiers who actually went to Shan County to raid, and were led by the garrison commander. In a sense, even if all of these thirty people were lost, it would not hinder Wei Yan.

Jia Hong finally agreed to Wei Yan implement this strategy, which is the most fundamental reason.

In order to lure Wei Yan to cross the river to attack, Shan County did not arrange too many posts on the river bank. These posts were as loose as the mouth of a slut, and could be pulled open at any time.

The shadows of the three small boats gradually disappeared in front of them.

Wei Yan held the guardrail of the building ship, and seemed to be more nervous than he personally attacked at night.

Unconsciously, Wei Yan crossed the transition from "leader" to "general". He was no longer a front-line general who would only shout with me in front of the front line, but also began to change to "general" who knew how to select talents and use talents.

The thirty soldiers, including the team leader's garrison commander, were selected by Wei Yan after repeated considerations. Those people were brave but not meticulous. Those people were extremely agile but slightly less powerful. Each person might have his own side and something he was not good at. Wei Yan had to coordinate these people into a small team, and then he had to match the experienced garrison commander. The energy consumed made Wei Yan feel more tiring than he had to take a fight with him.

Perhaps it was because of the nervousness, or perhaps because the waiting time was unbearable, Wei Yan couldn't help but whisper to Jia Hong, "The night attack... the most important thing is not how many people are killed... but how to surprise him... Cao's army must have prevented it, and he might even set up traps near the granary... caltrops, bell ropes, foot pits... We will use these, and Cao's army will definitely know how to use them...

Jia Hong glanced at Wei Yan and did not answer the conversation.

Wei Yan didn't care whether there was a supporting role in Jia Hong, and continued, "But no matter how many traps there are, they are dead, and people are alive... Cao Jun didn't have the time to rebuild a new granary... So, it's still the original granary... Do you know why I didn't burn the granary before... Hehe... I did some tricks in the granary... Now it depends on whether it can be effective...

"Among the thirty people, there are six good archers. There are two chances normally, at most three rounds... Just one arrow, just one arrow... you can burn it...

Now Jia Hong stopped talking, but Wei Yan was talking.

Jia Hong listened, and then understood a little.

The location of the granary in Shan County is in the east of the city. Perhaps it is because the east belongs to wood, and grain is the essence of wood, or some other reason. Anyway, the granary was built there at the beginning, and no matter whether it was the officials sent by the Han Dynasty, the later Dong Zhuo, Fei Qian, or others who occupied Shan County, they did not have the idea of ​​moving the granary location.

The Cao army could not set up another granary. On the one hand, it was stored here to serve as bait to attract Wei Yan to go out. On the other hand, whether it was newly built or stored in the open air, there was a possibility that the grain and grass would be damaged due to moisture, so it would be safer to put it in the original granary.

Therefore, the location of the granary is certain.

After determining the location of the granary, the weaknesses of the granary can be determined at the same time.

The granary in Shan County is an on-ground warehouse, which is built with stone bricks.

The grain and grass drying technology of the Han Dynasty was not as accurate as that of later generations, so some grain and grass would inevitably generate heat when it accumulates. If the heat is not ventilated and dispersed in time, it may cause spontaneous combustion. Therefore, granaries generally adopt a special structure to ensure certain ventilation needs, and at the same time, rainwater cannot be splashed in.

Rats can climb walls. In order to prevent mice and other animals that steal food into the granary, the outer wall of the granary in Shanxian County specially used relatively smooth bricks and stones, and were equipped with thick wooden iron bar doors, which can be said to be quite difficult to destroy on the front. The only weakness is the gap between the second eaves.

The eaves on the first floor that extend directly from the wall are closely connected to the wall with no gaps, but the second floor eaves on the eaves on the first floor have a circle of gaps...

What Wei Yan mentioned is mostly in it.

Maybe it's tincture oil, but it's more likely to be gunpowder used to deworm and rat...

The gap between the two eaves of the granary, which is used for ventilation and exhaust, becomes the goal of testing a good archer.

If the city of Shan County is complete and carefully repaired, then there is a circle of city walls to protect the granary extension, and even the archer can't find any opportunity. But how long has the city wall of Shan County been repaired? Five years, ten years?

Wei Yan could conclude that Cao's army must have laid various traps at these collapsed walls, because only in these places is the best to climb and meet the needs of sneak attacks.

In order to allow Wei Yan to climb the city wall with confidence, Cao's army would deliberately withdraw some distance and give up a certain amount of space...

But this time, Wei Yan is not going to climb over the wall.

In the northeast of the city, there is a collapsed city wall.

Because the northeast corner of the city is relatively high, you can directly see the granary from outside the collapsed city wall.

Wei Yan asked his carefully selected good archer to shoot directly at the granary outside the collapse of the city wall!

Once the fire is lit, no matter whether the Cao army sentries have discovered these soldiers before, it will inevitably trigger an alarm. After the alarm is issued, these soldiers must retreat immediately. Therefore, even if the soldiers sent by Wei Yan can successfully reach the outer periphery of the city wall, at most they will only have three rounds of shooting.

The three large granaries are filled with grain sheds surrounded by piles of bamboo strips. Whether it is bamboo strips or grain, they are all flammable...

As long as the Rockets get one shot, they will be like dry fire!

Of course, the premise is to cum in.

Distance is not a problem, because most good archers can maintain a high hit rate during training at the same distance.

What is problematic is the angle, night wind, and the weight changes added with tinder oil...

Therefore, Wei Yan actually has no clue as to whether he can succeed.

He just wanted to make a plan even if he didn't succeed.

In the night, under the outline of Shan County, there were suddenly a few more fires, and then the fires flew towards the granary like birds plunging into the forest...

As these firebirds passed through the mysterious trajectory in the air, Shanxian County was like a hornet's nest that was stabbed hard, and suddenly became restless!

The warning and shouting suddenly echoed through the sky!

『Is it a hit...Is it a hit..." Before he knew it, Jia Hong also arrived in front of the railing of the building, stretched his neck and stared at it with his eyes squinted, "Are you a hit...Is it a hit...

『Ming Jin! Hurry!" Wei Yan shouted in a deep voice, 『Let them come back! Cao's ambush troops are dispatched!』

At the foot of the mountain on the side of Shan County, a large area of ​​fire surged out in a blink of an eye, and it was approaching the river bank quickly.

The continuous sound of gold sounds was as sharp as if they were about to pierce a person's eardrum.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Wei Yan patted the guardrail and shouted in a low voice anxiously.

At this moment, Wei Yan and Jia Hong were like changing their souls. Before they set out, Wei Yan was so impatient that he was like a naughty child who would fly out accidentally. But now, Wei Yan was the first to think about retreating, and Jia Hong was still asking if he had shot...

In the shadows, the soldiers sent by Wei Yan rushed to the river bank with fire and began to push the ship down the river. Behind them, the soldiers of Cao's army spread their entire vision as if endlessly, holding up the torches and rushing towards the river bank!

"It's broken!" Wei Yan looked at it and suddenly slapped his face.

'What's wrong?' Jia Hong was very nervous and asked with his beard trembling, 'What's wrong? What's wrong?'

"The ship is not coming!" Wei Yan stretched out his hand and said, "The Cao army has already caught up!"

"Where?" Jia Hong opened his eyes wide. He was older, and now he was like an old blind man. He stared at him, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

When I got ashore before, the boat was just aimed at the shore, but now I want to retreat, the boat will not turn automatically. Of course, it is facing the river. Then I need to get on the boat and turn the bow of the boat. Although turning the bow of the boat is nothing in daily life, in such a situation, every minute and every second is very important, maybe it is just a little bit...

"Prepare to answer! Shoot the sign!" Wei Yan ordered loudly.

Immediately, an arrow with a fire cloth was shot high to the shore and pierced to the ground. The flames on the arrows jumped and shone out some dark shadows around. The black shadows quickly pounced on the flames, and then the flames disappeared.

『Sure enough...』 Wei Yan shouted, 『Shot! Arrow! The biggest logo!』

"wind!"

『High wind!』

With the shouting and shouting from the boat, the whistling of arrows joined the singing of the cold wind, and then opened their arms to the opposite shore.

Cold, dark, the embrace of death.

In the darkness, I don’t know how many people were shot, but the screams that followed made Wei Yan know that his judgment was correct. Although the torches of Cao’s army seemed to be relatively behind, some of the Cao’s army had actually rushed to the front! If Wei Yan had not shot out the sign in advance and checked these black shadows, then others would have thought that Cao’s army was still a distance and had not caught up with him!

"Everyone! Prepare for bomb drop!" Wei Yan sent the squad leader in the team to stand halfway in the water. Seeing that Cao's army was approaching, he unloaded the grenade from his waist, shouted loudly, counted down the command, pierced the wax seal, and then lit the lead, "Three, Two, One! Pour!"

Cao's army's arrows fell down, piercing on the ground and piercing on people.

For the convenience of movement, the team attacked at night did not wear heavy armor, but instead wore double armor and leather horns. This armor is quite good at protecting the torso, but there are too many gaps in limbs.
