Chapter Thirty-One(1/2)
His guards quickly helped him, Ke Zanre spit out a mouthful of blood, and his head woke up with the wind in the evening when the Huangshui River blew.
Now that I want to cross the Huangshui River, I either take a detour or take a boat. But no matter which one, Ke Zanre feels that he has no confidence and his opponent is too sinister.
He stared at the Huangshui River. Under the setting sun, half of the river was rustling and half of the river was red, carrying layers of blood. At this time, he thought that he could never make a hurry. If he made a hurry, many soldiers would suffer casualties. Until now, the opponent's main force had not yet encountered it, and more than 10,000 people fell down.
After thinking for a long time, he made a decision.
I don’t want the north bank. To the east or southeast, there are Longzhi County under the jurisdiction of Shanzhou and Huangshui County. To the east is Dahua County of Guzhou. If these two counties are taken down and then forced Guzhou to the east, and occupy this area, it is equivalent to inserting a sharp knife between Hezhou and Shanzhou.
If he could have been more ambitious before setting off, but now he has won the Shan County town, he has no full confidence.
Therefore, I wrote a letter asking the scout to send it to Sinuoluo, asking him for help, and no longer rely on his own troops.
Then he started to station, and the sky gradually became dark. He did not dare to station the army in the north of Shan County. The dozens of bunkers made him feel guilty. He could not station outside the south gate. There were gold and silver soup everywhere, and the smell was swelling up the sky, so he could not station it. So he stationed together in the city.
But Ke Zanre still ignored the soldiers' fatigue and asked the soldiers to search the city carefully. He almost checked the pit three times. When he was sure that there was no one in the city, he felt a little calm. However, he was very disappointed because the siege was delayed, and because he was afraid of the chili noodles and the fear of ambush, he did not dare to detour and trap the north gate of Shan County, and asked the Blood Camp to transfer all the people and the materials in the city. Almost an empty city was left, either with many white thatched grass, which scared Ke Zanre, because the attack was urgent. Otherwise, the Blood Camp soldiers would throw these white thatched grass under the city together, and a fire would cause thousands of casualties.
But apart from these white thatch, there was almost nothing else. There was no cloth piece. The Tubo war was used to support the war, which made Ke Zanju very depressed.
However, his army came and prepared, and brought a lot of supplies. He ordered the pot to cook, and at the same time, the two doors were martial law. Almost all the wood structures in the city were made of wood. Not to mention anything else, if the blood camp attacked the city and burned a fire, it would be enough to drink a pot.
Thinking of the fire, he shivered again and ordered the soldiers to prepare a large number of fire-extinguishing tools to prevent them from happening. At the same time, many soldiers were sent to patrol and check the city.
Very cautious.
Then he ordered a rest. It happened that although all the supplies in the city were taken away, many of the white thatched grass in the city could be used as beds, and they fell asleep one by one. The siege of the two days made them exhausted.
However, deep underground, a group of people woke up from their sleep.
This was something Ke Zanre never dreamed of. Since Wang Hua expected the war to come last winter, he has made many preparations. Some were reasonable, while others were extremely unreasonable. And it also came to everyone's expectations. Once Zong Chuke became the chief supervisor of Qinzhou, Wang Hua would think of the result. However, there was not much time left for Wang Hua. However, the facts were far contrary to everyone's ideas.
Even before Shangguan Xiaowan informed him, Wang Hua began to prepare. Such a long time of preparation was enough to arrange many detailed arrangements.
Including the county towns of Shan County, the people were withdrawn a long time ago, the surrounding areas were blocked, and then bunkers were built, which prevented Tubo from heading north. There was also a wonderful use, that was, the Tubo people dared not set up camp outside the northern city.
Therefore, it is not too early to evacuate Shan County in the evening. It is very likely that Ke Zange will turn the army eastward. It cannot be too late. If Ke Zange does not cross north, he will not know the bunkers on the north bank. Moreover, several shameful insults have also affected Ke Zange's judgment ability. In the battle of Dingrong City, in addition to killing thousands of Tubo soldiers and obtaining a new beginning, which makes Ke Zange's army dare not disperse, one more thing is to anger Ke Zange.
The gold and silver soup at the south gate is also like this. The middle is too smelly. If Tubo divided his troops into two places, one in the city and the other outside the city, he had to be isolated far away, and no one was willing to walk through the middle. There were only two gates in Shancheng, and the north gate did not dare to enter, and the south gate was unwilling to enter. Ke Zanre is currently not afraid to divide his troops. He either withdrew from Shanxian County and stationed outside the south gate. But he was afraid that the blood camp would counterattack Shanxian County. Therefore, under this mentality, he would inevitably station in the county.
So Huanhuan wanted to connect, and the entire army was stationed in the county town of Shan County.
This plan is to not want the entire county town of Shan County. It is not big anyway, so it is just to overthrow and rebuild.
Therefore, just before New Year's Day, Shan County blocked the front of the blockade, in addition to building bunkers, there were three projects. The first was to dig many tunnels underground. There were not many exits, all in extremely hidden places. Unless Ke Zanre turned the entire Shan County over in broad daylight, they could find it. Then, using the tunnels, when the Tubo army arrived, sulfur and saltpeter were buried under houses in various places in the city. Not only were there these flammable materials, but there were also many explosives to increase their power.
The second place is between the two gates. The south gate is white thatched grass, and the far below the north gate is a circular tunnel. The tunnel is very wide, with countless sharp iron cones inserted under it. And it is the end of the month, and it is dark, and it is hundreds of meters away from the Shanzhou city gate. When the fire catches in the city, there is enough time for the soldiers of the Blood Camp to lift the mud above and remove the long wooden boards loaded on the tunnel.
Of course, the cost is huge, but it is not as expensive as the county town of Shan County turned into ruins.
Although the county town of Shan County is not big, there are hundreds of families, military camps and warehouses where soldiers are stationed, and there are many shops, which generate considerable economic benefits.
After Wang Hua took the people away, the entire house was pushed down and rebuilt.
It seems that they are doing practical things for the people and building new houses, but this is not the case. Not to mention the wooden buildings, even the kind of houses that look mud-walled on the surface, they are just painted with a layer of mud on the outside, and bamboo inside is still made of bricks. Therefore, the county town of Shan County is now a high-risk fire area.
The soldiers snored like thunder, and the inside and outside the city were quiet.
Fang Dang Yu lit up the flames and looked at the hourglass.
Mi next to him came over and asked, "Captain, when is it?"
I have been holding it down for several hours. Although there are ventilation holes on it, it is not easy to hide in the local marmots below.
"It's almost three updates."
More than two hundred pairs of eyes were all bright, and they rolled up their sleeves to make a big fuck.
"Do you still remember your location?" Fang Dangshuyu asked again.
There are many passages, and after a while, everyone can't remember their locations, and they explode and can't go out again. Everyone must set fire and ignite explosives regularly, and then quickly evacuate the south gate along the main road and meet with their companions outside the city.
Outside the city is Wang Junchuo’s Tianxuan Army.
There are no more than 10,000 people now. After two days of bloody battle, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed and injured.
They were sniping Tubo soldiers who escaped from the city outside the southern city gate.
But there is another thing, that is, seeing a fire in the city, it carried the various oil barrels outside the south city gate and poured them on the thatch. During the day, many white thatch were thrown out outside the south gate. Although Ke Zanre released water, he did not throw away the white thatch in the afternoon. This made Ke Zanre think that the white thatch in the city had been thrown out, but in fact it was not. Therefore, after the sun evaporated in the afternoon, many white thatch had been half dry again, and some were not flooded at all. After pouring the oil, they lit it with a torch, forming a sea of fire and blocking the south gate.
But Fangdangshuyu and the others should move faster in the city. The faster the fire spreads, the greater the lethality. In this way, the sacrifice value of Shan County can be reflected. Moreover, when the fire is at the ground, whether the oxygen will be quickly drained and the temperature will rise immediately is a question. Therefore, after setting the fire, you must evacuate immediately.
Time passed by minute by minute. Fang Dangshuyu looked at the hourglass again and ordered: "Xiao Haizi, Sangouzi, go out and take a look."
The two of them hugged, went out for a while, walked back, and said, "Everyone fell asleep, and even the soldiers patrolling the streets began to take a nap."
Speaking of this, his face was filled with joy and vomiting
The more the foreigners slept, the greater the effect. Of course, he did not realize that this was also caused by the advance arrangement. He fought fiercely the day before yesterday, but he had almost no rest last night last night, and today he fought fiercely again. He slept in the city with the danger of the city wall, so he fell down one by one and of course he slept soundly.
Fang Dangshuyu looked at more than 100 people under his command and said, "Brothers, are you ready?"
I asked again, although I had practiced seven or eight times in advance, it was a drill, and now it was a practical battle.
More than a hundred people answered in unison: "Captain, we are ready."
"Be ready, let me set out, and make it easier."
More than a hundred people answered again: "Here!"
After answering, he quickly crawled through the various tunnels.
Ke Zan slept in the bed, and couldn't sleep.
As Wang Hua said, Tubo gave him great trust, which made him very excited, but also brought him countless pressure. Therefore, he urgently sent troops, mainly to have a good performance for the domestic powerful people. And now it is also an opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, it will probably be difficult to deal with Wang Hua in the future.
But what he had experienced in the past few days made him feel discouraged.
Unconsciously, sleepiness arose and fell asleep in a daze. In his sleep, he dreamed that he had led his troops to sweep away invincible, conquered Shanzhou, Hezhou, and Lanzhou, and captured countless people, livestock and property. Then, in order to reward him, Tubo asked him to return to Luoshe City to receive honors. At this time, he saw that Luoshe City had ignited the flames of the sky, and the flames rushed towards him quickly, and he struggled and shouted in the fire.
At this time, a shout came from my ear: "General, General."
Ke Zanre woke up at this moment. He opened his eyes and saw two guards standing in front of him, shouting nervously.
"Nothing, I just had a dream, is it okay outside?"
"There is no movement outside, maybe the Blood Camp has been withdrawn."
"How about those injured?"
"It's not good, but they all fell asleep." The guard replied carefully. The wounded were mainly burns and scalds. Some of the wounds began to get inflamed. Although they applied herbs, the situation was not very good. Ke Zanre had already made accusations in their hearts that they had begun to lose their staff and were preparing to send them back to Dafeichuan tomorrow.
But at this moment, many loud noises came from outside, and then sparks soared into the sky.
Ke Zanre was shocked and immediately ran out without even wearing clothes. But he saw countless fires in the city, which spread rapidly with the wind coming from the night.
At this time, at three locations on the north bank of the Huangshui River, rows of small wooden boats were placed and iron chains were tied up. Then the soldiers quickly laid wooden boards on it, and then many iron cavalry rushed from the floating bridge to the south bank.
At the same time, in Linfan City, Suirong City and Dingrong City, the three small towns under the night are quiet.
Three or four hundred Tubo soldiers were left in the city, and they also went to do what Ke Zanre told. They patrolled carefully around the three cities during the day and stayed at the three cities at night.
In fact, they all relaxed the next day, and all the people around them were evacuated, leaving only a piece of cropland, and there was nothing to patrol. And when they heard that Shan County was conquered, they all relaxed.
This was the best time to sleep on the day, and even the soldiers who were watching over the city walls were dozing on the battlements.
At this moment, black shadows flew up from the southeastern mountain like big birds and landed in these three small towns one by one.
Some soldiers also discovered it, but unfortunately they were all too relaxed. When they sounded the warning horn, the dark shadows had fallen into the city.
Then the fight began.
But when the Tubo soldiers in the city resisted, countless sounds of cavalry sounded outside, and soldiers from the blood camp spread from the darkness, quickly came to the city wall, and set up a ladder. If there was no chaos in the city, it would take a lot of effort to conquer these three cities, and it would be possible to make serious sacrifices. But now the city is too busy to take care of itself, and the soldiers from the top of the city resist.
Black shadows climbed up from the city wall and came to the city again.
At this time, all the defenders of the three cities began to collapse, opened the city gates, and fled in scattered areas. Unfortunately, facing dozens of times the army, there were very few Tubo soldiers who could actually escape.
"Who set the fire?" Ke Zange asked in surprise.
I was careful and careful. Even before going to bed, I sent someone to search carefully in the city. There were no figures, but there were a few wild dogs and cats. Even when shooting rockets, the enemy did not have this powerful crossbow to shoot the rockets from outside the city. Moreover, soldiers were arranged to patrol the city on the top of the city. Do they really have blind eyes?
It is impossible for the rockets shot in from outside the city. The explosion is still going on, and new flames are rising.
It was obvious that someone set fire in the city, and there seemed to be many people.
But how did these people come in? Did they fall from the sky? But it is impossible. The county town of Shan County is not big, at most a little bigger than the three small cities of Linfan City. The soldiers on the city wall were divided into several small groups and patrolling continuously. That is, Wang Hua could invent a new thing that would make people fly higher, but he had to fall down. When the soldiers patrolling the city and the city could find it.
Until now, a warning horn has not sounded, and this possibility has also been ruled out.
Just as he was thinking about the reason, the heat outside was even more intense.
Ke Zange also sent many people to prepare water. He scared the water and fire. The wooden structure in the city, the blood camp could live in peace, but he could not live in peace. However, there were only a few wells in the city, and in a hurry, he could not prepare many tools to lift water and extinguish water. In fact, his orders were issued, but the soldiers were extremely tired, and few people took some preparations to listen to his orders.
As a result, there were really fires, and some soldiers were extinguishing the fire. Unfortunately, no matter how they tried, they could not keep up with the speed of the fire spreading. And because of the occasional explosion, this itself killed many Tubo soldiers. Tens of thousands of people were crowded in a small county town, and almost every household lived with hundreds of soldiers.
It would be better if there was no such change, but the night is still a bit cooler now. There are many people, and the thick thatch below is warm.
But because of this, once it explodes, it will produce greater lethality.
At the same time, the explosion and the fire-bearing thatch and other burning substances quickly caught fire in other places.
At first, there were soldiers running around and trying to put out the fire, but finally they saw that the fire could not be put out and they began to panic.
At this time, the underground room dang Shi Yu shouted loudly: "Go."
