Doom Roar

In this way, the whereabouts of Xu Mo and his group were buried in the documents sent to the Ministry of War of the Kingdom of Jin. No one noticed that under their noses, a group of strange soldiers of the Song Army were quietly approaching the strategically important area of ​​the Jin Army.

Twelve days later, Xu Mo and his party finally arrived in Shanyang County.

After entering this range, the patrolling Golden Army cavalry increased significantly, vigilantly patrolling the surrounding crowd and vehicles like hounds.

Xu Mo's team of nearly a hundred people had too big a goal, and the horses they rode were all war horses branded with the golden army mark, so it was difficult to cover up, so Xu Mo ordered Han Jiwei to lead the team to hide in a valley [-] miles outside Shanyang City. And he pretended to enter the city alone to find out the truth.

Xu Mo's disguised identity is a traveling scholar. Although it is easier to get close to the water transport wharf by pretending to be a porter, Jin Jun will definitely check all strangers who try to get close to the granary in this kind of food storage place. The risk of pretending to be a porter is too great Too high is not worth the candle. [

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and the status of literati has always been very high, but the scholars in the Song Dynasty are different from those in the Tang Dynasty who can recite poems when they get off their horses, and kill people when they get on a horse. This kind of elegant event that requires a certain amount of physical strength and military support is still rare among scholars in the Song Dynasty.

Rare is not the same as nonexistent. Thanks to the deification of scholars for hundreds of years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the gatekeepers of Shanyang City still respected Xu Mo, who was wearing a Confucian robe and hand-held folding fan, and asked a few questions routinely Later, he was released into the city, and even the steps of body search were omitted.

It can't be completely blamed on Mending's negligence. Xu Mo's white and tender appearance is indeed very deceptive, and he doesn't even have a single callus on his hands. Even if he told them that he was a master, no one would believe him.

Entering the city, Xu Mo, like a scholar who is really traveling, first found an inn and booked a room, then swaggered around the streets of the county town, walked up to a restaurant, sat on the third floor and ordered a few. Such special side dishes, pour yourself a drink while admiring the beautiful scenery outside with a leisurely expression.

The location of this restaurant is very good, it is next to the canal, and you can see the Water Transport Wharf not far away.

Xu Mo sat in front for almost half an hour, quietly watching thousands of porters on the pier like hardworking workers transporting sacks half a person's height onto the tank boat, stacking them up to the top, and then in the sound of the boat's chants Get out of the dock.

Calling Xiao Erhui to pay the bill, Xu Mo walked down the restaurant shaking his folding fan.

He already had to look further. The carriage transporting grain to the wharf had already clearly pointed out the location of the granary in Shanyang City. There were one in the southeast, one in the north, and one in the north. The one in the north was the largest, almost the sum of the other three. The training ground was converted.

As for the state of the defense, Xu Mo really didn't care much. Anyway, as long as he can light the first fire, no matter how tight the defense is, there will be chaos.

At nightfall, hundreds of door-closing drums rang, and the entire Shanyang City was closed, and the whole city was put under a curfew.

There is no such thing as a curfew in Shanyang City, but since the Jin Army designated this place as a place for grain and grass storage and transit in the army, a strict curfew system has been implemented. Anyone who appears on the street after nightfall will be regarded as a Song Army The traitor kills and pardons.

This kind of practice of killing mistakes and letting them go, although so far has not been able to execute a real spy of the Song army, but ordinary thieves have caught many, even the domineering ones who ran rampant in the city in the past Qingpilai also stopped a lot, and the law and order in the whole city improved a lot.

The city wall of Shanyang County was only two feet long, and the Jin army did not continue to raise it after the arrival of the Jin army. Obviously, they were very confident in the combat effectiveness of the army ahead, and did not believe that a large number of Song troops could hit the city of Shanyang.

The flames flickered on the top of the city. Even without the night vision function of [Ice Abyss Demon Armor], Xu Mo could clearly see the deployment of troops on the city wall. Like a big bird flying across the night sky, it jumped out of the city.

In the valley twenty miles away, Han Jiwei and all the disciples of Longhushan had been waiting anxiously, and when they saw Xu Mo returning safely, they immediately led him into the camp.

Xu Mo didn't do much so-called pleasantries, and directly asked Han Jiwei to call everyone together and start to arrange the action plan for this time.

In this plan, Xu Mo would first sneak into Shanyang City and secretly pour fire oil into the granary, while Han Jiwei led the disciples of Longhu Mountain and divided them into four groups, ambush in the four corners of the southeast, northwest and outside of Shanyang City. With the light of the fire as a sign, they rushed into the four granaries at the same time and threw fire starters.

The whole process can be said to be complicated or simple, and the key lies in throwing the fire oil. As long as Xu Mo doesn't make any mistakes, the others are just throwing torches while they are in disorder, and there is almost no danger at all.

Abandoning the horse and walking for twenty miles, at midnight, Xu Mo and his party arrived outside Shanyang City. [

Han Jiwei and other four groups were in ambush less than [-] meters from the base of the city wall. In this era when the only lighting was moonlight and torches, even a sharpshooter with the best eyesight couldn't see such a thing in the dark. Far.

Xu Mo deftly followed the same method as when he left the city, and jumped back into the city over the wall again.

The whole arson plan went surprisingly smoothly.

Perhaps it was because Jin Bing never thought that any Song army would have the courage to go deep into the back of Jin country alone, or maybe they never thought that there would be a god-defying artifact that could hold ten thousand stones of kerosene at one time.

In short, this night, Shanyang City was on fire.

The soaring fire ignited by hundreds of thousands of stones and grains almost ignited the entire Shanyang City, and the burning red half of the sky could be seen dozens of miles away.

Although the thousands of gold troops stationed in the city desperately diverted water to fight the fire, the poor dozens of water dragons could not save the ever-expanding fire.

The general of the Jin army in Shanyang City knew that he would die if he went back, so he simply wiped his neck in the big tent.

Xu Mo and the others didn't have the time to stay and look at the big torch, so they broke up the whole thing on the spot and scattered the birds and beasts, and the scattered targets returned to Song Dynasty through different channels.

……

The military's message transmission speed is always faster than that of the civilians. When the wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River were busy moving their families further south, the [-] gold army in the north of the Yangtze River suddenly withdrew.

No way, a fire in Shanyang not only burned half of the food and grass prepared by Jin Guo for this southward trip, but also burned down together with the water transport dock. Although the Jin army stationed worked overtime to repair a few temporary docks, it was not enough to support the front line. If the [-] troops were not withdrawn in time for the food and grass transportation, the [-] troops on the front line would have to starve to death on the way.
