Chapter 69 Preparing for a surprise attack
For the sake of safety, the army bypassed all the avenues and took all the small roads.

Passing by many villages, everywhere was desolate, the houses were burned down, and there was not even a person.

This is a cruel war, starving and dying, mountains and rivers are broken, people are displaced, strong men are killed, women and children are bullied, and the frontier fortress is reduced to a purgatory on earth.

Sometimes I think on the bright side, even if I don’t see anyone, it’s also possible that they have escaped from this disaster and have gone to a safe place. The enemy couldn’t find the people, so they had to burn the village to vent their anger.

As long as no corpse is seen, there is still a beautiful fantasy, and the people are still alive and well.

In the evening, when the army came to a desolate village, the soldiers at the front suddenly fell to the ground with their horses and men.

Ye Qing shouted loudly: "Be alert!"

Everyone pulled out the weapons from their waists and scattered around, looking for enemies!
Ye Qing got off the horse and checked whether the soldiers were injured first!

The soldier stood up with a grunt, patted the dust off his body, and said, "Commander Ye, I'm fine, I just got scratched."

Zhou Zhenwei brought some people into the village. Most of the houses in the village were burned down, and almost none of them were decent. No matter how they looked, they didn't look like they were inhabited. Could it be the soldiers who were alone in Beidi?

Suddenly there was a very slight movement not far away, Zhou Zhenwei glanced coldly: "Who is it?"

There was a rustling sound in front, followed by the sound of running footsteps!

Zhou Zhenwei: "Chase!"

On the crooked path, there is a big chase scene.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, the opponent ran away in no time.

Zhou Zhenwei looked at the dilapidated house, and it was not so easy to escape, so he said coldly, "Search for me."

There are hundreds of people. In a small village, it is very easy to find one person.

"Captain Zhou, people have been brought here!"

Two soldiers rushed forward, holding a struggling civilian man in their hands!

The man was dressed in rough sackcloth, with messy hair hanging down, covering most of his face, and his whole body was dirty.

At this time, Ye Qing had already arrived: "Have you caught anyone?"

Zhou Zhenwei: "I've caught it, and I'm preparing for interrogation."

The man cursed loudly: "You beasts, robbers, devils, I will kill you all, you invaders."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a coldness on his neck, and quickly raised his head, and suddenly found a big knife on his head.

"Who are you?" Ye Qing's voice was cold, his eyes were like two pitch-black jewels, shining with a dark light.

"I am..." The man hadn't finished speaking.

There was a burst of shouting and killing not far away!
"Kill, kill these robbers."

Everyone fixed their eyes and saw a group of people in ragged clothes rushing over with sticks and hoes in their hands.

Seeing this, everyone knew what was going on. These were local villagers. Perhaps because they hadn't had time or didn't want to leave the village, they thought Ye Qing and the others were soldiers from Beidi, so they came up with weapons.

The trenches dug on the road are to prevent a small number of enemies from suddenly attacking!
They don't have the guts or the strength to fight against large forces.

Seeing a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons standing in front of them, everyone was frightened and wanted to run, but the road behind had been blocked by Liao Songren and his men!

It's over, it's over, this time I met Beidi's army, and I survived with great difficulty, this time the explanation is here.

The villagers looked at the man with the weapon in front of him tremblingly, and no one dared to speak.

Ye Qing walked out: "Everyone, don't be afraid, we are Dongling soldiers, are you villagers here?"

Everyone is silent, you look at me and I look at you.

After a while, an old man stood up with both legs trembling, plopped and fell to his knees: "Are you really Dongling soldiers?"

Ye Qing: "It's guaranteed to be fake!"

The old man burst into tears suddenly: "I've been looking forward to it for so long, and finally you are here. God, the earth, we are saved."

Ye Qing personally stepped forward to help the old man up: "Why don't you leave?"

Hearing Ye Qing's question, the old man said: "Officer, you don't know, the day the Beidi thieves entered the village, everyone had no time to escape. Not only did they rob us of our food, they also killed people randomly, and let them ruin our daughters and daughters-in-law. up!
These beasts, I wish I could kill them all.

Everyone managed to escape into the mountains, but after so long, the food was gone long ago, everyone waited and waited, and sent people down the mountain to inquire, but no one from the court came to rescue us.

I heard that the surrounding area was occupied by Beidi, and everyone dared not go down the mountain easily, but the women, children, old and young on the mountain were all starving!Some time ago, I hurried down the mountain to take away the grain in the field, but occasionally I encountered one or two Beidi dog thieves who came to patrol, and everyone thought that they could kill one by one. I didn’t expect to meet our own people today. There is hope at last. "

Listening to the old man finish speaking with snot and tears!
Looking at the villagers in front of them again, everyone was so hungry that everyone felt uncomfortable!
In the end, Ye Qing and the others took out the only food they had and gave it to the villagers!

Ye Qing said: "Old man, we don't have much food, you take this little food first, believe us, the Beidi dog thieves will be driven out of Dongling's land by us soon, you must hold on, the dawn of victory Coming soon."

Holding the food, the old man said gratefully: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

...

The sky in the west is sprinkled with a faint golden color, and the wind is blowing.

On the road, smoke and dust billowed, and soon obliterated the faint light and shadow.

The sound of horseshoes roared, breaking the tranquility of the wilderness!
"Commander Ye, after passing this slope, we are very close to Qingyang City." Cheng Yun reported the information he found to Ye Qing.

"The whole army has them. Let's rest here tonight and continue on our way tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

In the lonely sky, there is not a single star!

The non-stop rush, everyone is very tired!
Zhou Zhenwei and Liao Songren didn't take a break, and quietly walked to Ye Qing's side: "Commander Ye, how do you plan to punish Beidi this time?"

Ye Qing was looking at the information sent back by the scout, and when he heard Zhou Zhenwei's question, he looked at him amusedly: "Why, are you so impatient?"

Zhou Zhenwei: "That's right, I feel very aggrieved, I can't fall asleep if I haven't vented my anger!"

Ye Qing: "You can't sleep, so let's study the next plan together."

Several people surrounded Ye Qing's redrawn map based on the information provided by Cheng Yun and the others.

Ye Shuo pointed to a part of the map and said, "This is Qingyang City, our target is the enemy's granary!"

Zhou Zhenwei: "Does it only destroy the granary?"

He wants to kill the enemy more than destroy the granary!
Ye Qing said seriously: "We don't have enough manpower, and there are too many enemies. We are not opponents. Qingyang City has a lot of grain, which is an important granary for Beidi. The grain in Jiajingguan is basically provided by them. We destroy the grain. It's right, it directly cut off the back road of Jiajingguan!"

The food in Qingyang City was also plundered from the people of Dongling. It is a pity to burn it, because it is all bought in exchange for the blood and sweat of the people, but if it is not burned, it is indirectly helping Beidi!
"Understood!" Zhou Zhenwei nodded, and the deep voice said yes.

Ye Qing pointed to the map and said to Zhou Zhenwei: "Take the vanguard, find a way to enter the city, and kill the sentries quickly before the enemy finds out. Liao Songren led the people, and some of them are outside the city to support, just in case, I will take people…"

After ordering one by one, the two nodded heavily and said, "Okay, don't worry!."

The night was silent, and the two listened intently to Ye Qing's words: "It is reported that there is no shelter or combustibles around the granary except for the houses where the grain is stored, and there are people patrolling at twelve o'clock throughout the day. You have to be careful." , This is the military supply warehouse, this is the grain and grass depot, this is the armory, and this is the rest camp for soldiers!"

This is the information that Cheng Yun and the others have tried their best to pass back. In order to clarify this, three scouts have sacrificed, all of whom are elites carefully cultivated by Ye Qing.

"Everyone must memorize the topographic map thoroughly, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

After resting for one night, the next day, the big team set off again!
With a bang, countless war horses kicked up and galloped towards Qingyang City
The wounded had been sent away after descending the mountain, and the place where they were sent was the place where Wang Xiaogui and the others temporarily rested because of their injuries and did not go to the Huayan plank road that day!

Ye Qing was looking at Qingyang City in the dark, when Zhou Zhenwei's voice came from behind: "Commander Ye."

Ye Qing: "Are all the soldiers ready?"

Zhou Zhenwei: "All soldiers are ready!"

Ye Qing nodded: "Okay, let's go!"

Qingyang City was quiet, and the soldiers guarding the city dozed off in the cold night.

"I'll go to sleep for a while, you stay by yourself, call me if you need anything."

The sentinel guarding the city was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He couldn't hold on any longer, so he planned to go down to the tower to rest and ask his companions to bear it first. In this cold weather, night watch is the most difficult thing, cold and sleepy!

There are more than the two of them on the watchtower, and it doesn't matter if there is one less, as long as the people above don't know about it.

"Go, go, what can happen, this is our city, how dare the cowardly Dongling people come here, besides, how can they climb such a high city wall, unless they can fly, Otherwise, even a mouse won't be able to get in, so go to sleep, it will be my turn later."

The soldier yawned as he walked down the tower!

It's a pity that his life is not good. Just halfway down the stairs, he bumped into the leader who was walking towards him. As soon as the leader saw him like that, he knew what was going on, and couldn't help being furious: "Who told you to leave the tower? Go back quickly, Didn't you hear that during this period of time, a team of Dongling troops sneaked into our rear, everyone must be 12 points."

The soldier who had been scolded by the leader came up angrily, cursing as he walked, "I don't believe it, Dongling people are so bold."

However, under the city wall that he didn't pay attention to, a group of people were quietly approaching!

At this moment, they had already drawn out the daggers on their bodies, a long coil of rope was still hanging on their shoulders, and cold swords were on their waists!

It's ridiculous to say that these daggers are all spoils of war, and Dongling doesn't have such good benefits. Ye Qing had applied for it in Huaiyang City before, but the superiors said that the military budget was tight and there was no way to forge it!
Everyone moved swiftly and silently, lying on the city wall like civet cats, looking around vigilantly.

Everyone stared at the people on the city wall, and could almost only hear the rapid breathing of the soldiers.

Liao Songren led people to hide in the dark outside the city to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking from outside, causing his teammates in the city to suffer from the enemy.

For the vanguard team led by Zhou Zhenwei, Ye Qing is very confident. This is not the first time he has been on a mission.

The night wind from the northwest was bitingly cold, raging recklessly on the empty city wall, but all the soldiers were as if they were made of cast iron, and they didn't seem to feel the cold at all!
Perhaps, they have forgotten that there is still the word cold in the world.

In everyone's mind, only the hatred brought by the enemy far exceeds the severe cold in the northwest!
Time passed little by little, and at this moment, the soldiers moved.

The sentinels on the city tower, in the dark night, their heads are like chickens pecking at rice, and they are so sleepy and beating!
Zhou Zhenwei had already climbed up the city tower like a civet cat, and after he got up, he rolled on the spot!
Someone noticed him, Zhou Zhenwei suddenly sprinted, and jumped behind one of the sentries like a god, the sword in his hand flashed coldly!
Before the other party had time to see who it was, a sword of blood spurted out from the neck, and the whole body fell to the ground with a bang!

The other soldiers who had come up just went up and killed all the sentries one after another!

The problem on the tower has been solved, but the problem downstairs still exists!

Separate the two groups of people, one part stays on the tower, and the other part runs downstairs quickly!

Zhou Zhenwei couldn't bear it any longer, and killed anyone he saw.

Wherever the light of the knife in his hand went, a blood-red light would emerge. He struck quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers under the city tower fell under his sword.

Others are not weak, agile and skilled.

Soon, the danger was gone, Zhou Zhenwei put his hands to his mouth, and uttered a song like a nightingale!
Ye Qing: "Everyone, go up!"

The city gate is not so easy to open. Not only do you need a key, but the opening speed is very slow.

Ye Qing left some people at the city gate, changed into Beidi's clothes, and was in charge of guarding, and of course, opening the city gate.

The others quickly ran towards the granary!

Beidi's patrols are not very intensive, probably because this is their rear, not the front line of the war, so their vigilance is not so strong.

Occasionally, I ran into a patrolling team, but everyone cleverly avoided them.

...

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly!
Just as Ye Qing and the others approached the granary, the drums suddenly rang!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Fuck, I didn't expect the enemy to be so vigilant!
I saw enemies pouring out from all directions like a flood.

There was a sharp sound piercing the air, and Ye Qing was like a leopard that devours people instantly, and everyone's head fell to the ground wherever he went.

The originally quiet and peaceful night had turned into a Shura cemetery at this moment. Amidst the screams of countless people, blood shot up into the sky.
