Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 510 Wang Bo took Jining and stopped Yang Guang.

In ancient times, there were no high-speed rails or airplanes, so the transportation basically relied on horse-drawn carriages, which established Xuzhou's status as a transportation hub.

But from south to north, or from north to south, you have to go through Xuzhou, a transportation hub.

In wartime, Xuzhou would be a battleground for military strategists.Even in peacetime, this Xuzhou is also a place where merchants gather.

Xuzhou, as an important traffic route, has a lot of people coming and going every day, which has greatly facilitated the aristocratic family's travel to Tibetans along the canal.

If there were suddenly tens of thousands more people in other places, but 10,000+ people, then it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the local government.

However, in Xuzhou, a place with a large number of people, there seems to be no clue if there are tens of thousands more.

At this time, the ministers of the powerful families began to gather in Xuzhou and temporarily hid in Xuzhou.And Wang Bo brought his green forest heroes to Jining County, Shandong Province, which is adjacent to Xuzhou.

After years of development and accumulation, Wang Bo has about 5 to 2 people under his command.Among them, [-] people are elites carefully trained by Wang Bo. These elites are all wearing iron armor and have standard equipment in their hands.Compared with the regular army, its combat effectiveness is not much worse.

As for the remaining 3 or [-] people, they were all bandits who came from all over the country to help them fight, and their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning.It's okay to fight a downwind battle and beat the side drums, but you can't win a tough battle.

Wang Bo is a man with a brain. He knows how much he has, so he set his sights on the small county town of Jining.

Behind the high walls of Xuzhou City, there are many garrisons, so it is unrealistic to attack Xuzhou.Not to mention that there are only these shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command, even if the number of troops is doubled, he will not be able to defeat Xuzhou.

And this Jining is only a small county, and the garrison is no more than a few thousand people at most. With the strength in Wang Bo's hands, Jining can be easily taken down.

Jining belongs to the boundary of Shandong, but geographically, it is closer to Xuzhou.This also created the special nature of Jining's grandma not loving and uncle not loving.

If Jining is lost and troops are sent from Shandong, it will take ten days and a half a month on the road alone.

If troops were sent from Xuzhou to rescue, the speed would naturally be much faster.However, Jining is the territory of Shandong, why should I save your Shandong territory in Xuzhou.

It was precisely this idea that Wang Bo decided to take over Jining County.

The canal is passing through Jining County, and Yang Guang's fleet has not yet arrived in Jining.At this time, Wang Bo took down Jining County, which was blatantly slapping Wang Bo in the face.

And no surprise, according to Yang Guang's temperament, he would definitely line up troops to take back Jining County.At this time, there are soldiers and horses available around Yang Guang.There are only [-] navy guards and [-] army guards on the shore. The navy is not good at attacking cities, so Yang Guang must use the [-] army guards on the shore.

In this way, it is equivalent to using Wang Bo to lure Yang Guang's [-] army guards away. This is the remaining navy guard Yang Guang. Became the turtle among the Wengzhong.

At the time of the third watch, it was already the second half of the night, and it was the time when people slept the most.

A few days ago, Wang Bo's subordinates had infiltrated near Jining County in pieces, and some brothers had even infiltrated into the city of Jining County.

The action started tonight, I'm afraid it won't take long before they will attack from inside and outside and take down Jining County.

According to the plan, as soon as the third watch is over, the brothers who sneaked into the city will look for an opportunity to seize the door, and then the outsiders will rush in and seize the Jining County.

Jining County is a small county, and the soldiers in the city are no more than [-] people, and the guards of this city gate are only [-] people.

Although the borders in Shandong are chaotic, they are all kings of the mountain on top of the mountain.You said that there are really no bandits who dare to attack cities and villages in this world.

It is precisely because of this that the defense of the entire Jining County is very lax.There are only five hundred guards, they are old and young, these individuals look very weak, and they are all foolish.

Wang Bo ordered his generals Sun Xuanya and He Xiaode to sneak into the city with five hundred elite brothers, hoping that they would take the opportunity to seize the city.

After the sky was completely dark, Sun Xuanya and He Xiaode, who had sneaked into the city beforehand, acted separately.

Sun Xuanya led a hundred people and first set fire near the county government office in Jining County. When the fire broke out, the soldiers who were resting were immediately attracted to the county government office to fight the fire.

In this way, it was ensured that when they attacked the city, these soldiers who were busy fighting the fire could not support the city gate.

Here, when He Xiaode saw the fire in the direction of the county government, he immediately led his [-] brothers towards the gate of the city.

Not long after, an earthen city wall made of loess appeared in front of their eyes.Jining is a small city, the city walls are not tall, barely two feet high.

On the city wall, some patrolling soldiers were perfunctorily patrolling with torches. Most of the guarding soldiers had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall.

"Be careful, walk along both sides of the wall!" He Xiaode instructed softly.

Soon, He Xiaode led people to the city wall, and most of the defenders guarding the city gate were leaning against the wall and sleeping.Even if the few people left were not asleep, they were listless.

He Xiaode couldn't help feeling contemptuous, these soldiers are probably not as good as the local bravery, even the bandits.

"Crossbow arrows, shoot them!" He Xiaode said with a wave of his hand.

There were not many defenders at the city gate, and there were only 30 people at full strength. After a shower of arrows, the 30 people fell under the city gate in an instant, without making a single movement.

The whole process was extremely smooth.

"Open the city gate, hurry up!" He Xiaode ordered.

"Squeak, squeak!"

He Xiaode's men pushed open the city gate, and as the disrepaired city gate made a loud creaking sound, the defenders on the city wall realized something was wrong.

However, it was too late to realize that something was wrong. Wang Bo, who was not far from the city, immediately rushed over with his brothers who were ambushing outside the city after seeing the torches shaking at the city gate.

There were tens of thousands of Wang Bo's men. When they rushed towards the city gate together, they saw black shadows under the densely packed city walls.

The defenders in Jining County were all old, weak, sick and disabled. They had seen such a battle there, and they were all terrified, and they didn't have the courage to resist at all.

Even Wang Bo himself didn't expect that he could enter Jining County so easily. It really didn't take much effort.

In fact, this is also the status quo of the Sui Dynasty.Today's Great Sui can be said to be tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Almost all the troops with strong combat effectiveness are frontier troops, and the county soldiers and government soldiers everywhere are almost vulnerable.
