Call of the Deer

Chapter 101 Burning the granary, the second general will be beheaded

And just when Bei Minghao flooded the Seventh Army, Li Shimin and Liu Bei on the southern front also fought with Shi Da, and Xiao Chaogui fought like a raging fire, full of anger!
At the junction of Yunzhou and Yongzhou, the two sides are facing each other. On one side is the 50 coalition army led by Li Liu, and on the other side is the million-dollar Taiping army led by Shi Dakai and Xiao Chaogui.

Both sides are full of anger, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder. Only one fuse can quickly start the war.

In the coalition barracks, Li Shimin sat in the main position, and Liu Bei was the next leader, along with other princes.

"Deputy leader, I've waited long enough on the southern front. If I don't make a quick breakthrough, I'm afraid the northern and eastern fronts will reach the Eastern Imperial City before us. By then, I will lose all the benefits... "

Chen Shubao, the lord of Pingzhou, said very anxiously, in fact, he was not to blame. His Pingzhou was backed by the southern border, and he was afraid that the princes of the southern border would take the opportunity to attack, so the longer the war dragged on, the worse it would be for him.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, don't worry, we may not be the last to arrive. There is a natural danger of Luguan on the eastern route. Brother Beiming may not be easy to break through. There are brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang on the northern route. Together with the commander of Hong Xiuquan, it is not easy to break through in a short period of time, but looking at the Taiping army, the longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for them..."

Li Shimin smiled indifferently, then changed his voice, and said: "However, Brother Chen is right, those who go late can't get a drink even after contacting Zhou, so I don't plan to wait any longer, I will soon Launch a general attack!"

"Oh, deputy leader, it seems that you have already made up your mind. I wonder if you can explain a little bit?" Liu Bei turned his eyes and asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Those who know me, brother Liu, indeed, I already have a plan to defeat the enemy, but the specifics, you will know in a few days, but before that, I need to borrow brother Liu's general Wei Yan to come The two guards, I wonder if Brother Liu can cooperate with one or two to ensure the smooth progress of the matter!"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, said with a smile, and discussed with Liu Bei at the same time.

"Uh, brother Li, you are the supreme commander of the southern line. If there is anything, you can just give orders!" Liu Bei was stunned and said with a wry smile.

"Okay, Brother Liu is really a straightforward person. If that's the case, I will explain the plan in detail. I plan to send an army of Taiping bandits to quickly end this war of attrition, so I need a few powerful generals. Otherwise, It's easy to fail!"

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Li Shimin also explained part of the plan.

In the evening of the next day, a team left from the coalition barracks on the southern front. The team was led by Su Lie, along with new generals Zuo Liangyu and Xu Ning, and Liu Bei's general Wei Yanhe Lai Huer.

This army secretly went to Qi County, an important food and grass town behind Xiao Shi's coalition army, intending to surprise Qi County, burn down the food and grass of Xiao Shi's coalition army, so that the morale of the Taiping bandit army plummeted, and then cover up and kill them in one fell swoop.

Quickly defeated the bandits on the southern front, and marched towards the East Imperial City of Yongzhou.

Qixian County is located on the border of Yunzhou, backed by Heiyan Mountain, and in front of it is an extremely flat fertile field, which is an extremely important grain production area, and Xiao Chao Guishi Dakai has been hoarding grain and grass here.

Li Shimin found out this point by racking his brains and using all means, and even sacrificed a lot of internal staff, so the news is extremely convincing.

It is impossible for Shi Dakai and Xiao Chaogui not to be defenseless. The one guarding here is Shi Bao, a famous fierce general among the Taiping bandit army.

Under the night, a group of cavalry galloped towards Qi County at high speed. This cavalry was extremely fierce, dressed in black armor all over, with a solemn military appearance, and each of them held a steel gun.

In Qi County, Shi Bao had already rested in the camp at this time, because the Southern Allied Forces were confronting Xiao Chaogui and Shi Dakai, so he was not worried that he would be killed. Besides, he had Qi County to defend, so it would be no problem to kill him, and he had time to defend. .

Shi Bao was lustful by nature. He was originally a performer and lived in poverty. After the famine, he couldn't survive, so he had to follow Shi Dakai to revolt.

Sitting on a general at this moment, it can be regarded as a grassroots transformed into an aristocrat, and a phoenix on a branch, transformed into a commander of a party with tens of thousands of troops in his hands.

But he still went his own way, at this time in the military tent, singing and dancing were peaceful, watching Meiji dancing in front of him, he was really at ease.

However, Shi Bao is really amazing, with a wind splitter and a meteor hammer, countless people died under his hands, so it can be considered as a superb martial arts.

However, at this moment, Shi Bao was so intoxicated with singing and dancing that he forgot about his duties, as if he didn't know that Li Shimin's army had arrived secretly.

"Come on, have another drink..."

At this moment, Shi Bao was three points drunk, holding Meiji in his arms, drinking one cup after another.

……

"General Su, Qi County is ahead, what should our army do?" Xu Ning said excitedly.

"Xu Ning, Zuo Liangyu, Wei Yan, come to nurse, you and the other four immediately take a small number of soldiers, climb up the wall quietly, and open the city gate!"

"The last general takes orders!" The four of them agreed in unison.

Due to the cover of the night, a group of hundreds of people quickly reached the corner, and then took out the ladder that had been prepared, and began to assemble it.

This kind of ladder is small in size and requires temporary assembly. It can be regarded as a group of light siege equipment and is widely used to steal cities.

Due to the negligence of the guards in Qi County, Wei Yan and his party went to the county seat of Qi County very easily. Whether it is a general or a soldier, this army moves in an orderly manner and is well-trained, just like an ancient version of special forces.

Keep hiding in hiding places and start attacking and killing the defenders.

"Puff puff!"

People died continuously, and in just a quarter of an hour, a group of a hundred people had already changed their costumes and began to plan the next step.

They were divided into two parts, one part walked slowly towards the gate of the city, walked into the gate of the city, killed the guards under the gate of the city instantly with the momentum of thunder, and opened the gate of the city at the same time.

Another group of people, that is, more than [-] people led by Wei Yanlai's nurse, went to the granary in Wangqi County.

"This Su Lie is really not human. He asked us to burn food and grass, but they opened the city gate. He is really not a thing..."

Lai Hu'er was cursing, feeling quite angry in her heart.

"Come on, brother, actually opening the city gate is much more dangerous than burning food and grass. After all, once you open the city gate, you will be attacked by the guards immediately, and we will be much safer because of their attraction..."

Wei Yan said helplessly, in fact, he originally wanted to stay and help Xu Ning and the two to open the city gate, but he was afraid of what would happen to Lai Huer, so he burned food and grass with Lai Huer.

"Boom!"

The heavy city gate rumbled, and then slowly opened. At this time, the guards on the city wall also noticed it immediately, and immediately blew their horns!
Oh oh oh!
"Come on, enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

As the guard shouted, the whole city knew instantly, including Shi Bao of course.

"What's going on? Could it be that someone who doesn't have a good eye comes to attack the city?" Shi Bao was startled awake, and murmured in a daze.

"General, it's not good, the city gate was opened by the enemy..."

"What? Why so fast?" Shi Bao yelled in amazement, and at the same time immediately put on his armor and rushed towards the city wall.

As for Wei Yan and his party, due to the attraction of Xu Ning and the others, nothing happened along the way. When they arrived at the granary, there were only a few guards left guarding the granary.

Seeing that there were so few guards, Wei Yan was overjoyed, and immediately led fifty soldiers with tigers and wolves to kill them.

"I am Wei Wenchang of Liuzhou, who dares to fight with me?"

"Liuzhou comes to protect the children, and the bandits will die!"

The two rushed into the granary like fierce tigers, and within a short while, all the guards in the granary were slaughtered and all died!

"Set fire to this granary for me, hurry up..."

Wei Yan didn't delay, and directly ordered people to start burning food, I'm afraid it will change if it's too late!
Soon, the grain and grass poured with kerosene were ignited, and the brilliant fire was ignited, and thick smoke quickly rose from the granary.

As soon as Wei Yan saw this, he knew that the plan of burning food and grass had succeeded, and immediately led his soldiers to retreat to the gate of the city.

On the other hand, due to the large number of guards in Qi County, even if the city gate was opened, the more than [-] Xuanjia soldiers led by Su Lie would not be able to attack for a while.

Street fighting was launched inside the city gate, and street fighting was extremely unfavorable to surprise soldiers, so even if countless guards were beheaded, it was still difficult to move an inch.

At this moment, Shi Bao arrived, and when he saw the mysterious armored cavalry who had already entered the city gate, he was shocked and angry, and immediately led people to kill Xu Ning and Zuo Liangyu.

"Dog thief, bullying too much, take your life!"

At this moment, Shi Bao, because he drank a little wine and was full of courage, tried his best to open and close. Wherever he passed, there was no enemy to close, and he quickly killed Xu Ning.

Xu Ning saw Shi Bao approaching at this moment, the so-called meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, he didn't care about other things, so he went straight to meet him.

"Bah..."

But in a short while, the two had fought for more than ten rounds. At this moment, Xu Ning had gone through the previous hard fight, and his strength had been depleted, and he was gradually unable to support.

At this moment, Shi Bao threw out the meteor hammer, and then the cloak knife followed one after another. Xu Ning suddenly lost his soul, his liver and gallbladder were torn, and he cried: My life is over!

One shot hit the flying meteor hammer, and the other shot met Shi Bao's cloak knife. Unfortunately, Xu Ning had already started to lose his weapon, so where was Shi Bao's opponent who was angry.

The cloak knife smashed the long spear in Xu Ning's hand, and then passed by, cutting Xu Ning in half. The whole process was as fast as a star chasing the moon, and it was too late to rescue him.

But at this time, Shi Bao was still not satisfied, he glared fiercely at Zuo Liangyu on the other side, killed him, and planned to kill another general to boost morale.

Zuo Liangyu saw that Xu Ning was beheaded by Shi Bao in less than twenty rounds, his mind was taken away, he didn't dare to take it hard, and retreated directly, the back door opened wide, and Shi Bao was in the formation.

Shi Bao tried his best to throw the meteor hammer out, and the meteor hammer shot at the fleeing Zuo Liangyu like a falling comet.

"Oh!"

It's a pity that no matter how fast the horse was, it couldn't be as fast as the meteor hammer. Shi Bao's meteor hammer instantly knocked Zuo Liangyu away on the horse and fell to the ground fiercely.

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu, who fell on the ground, was already spitting out blood, and the blood was mixed with flesh and blood. He was already breathing in less and exhaling more, his eyes began to slack, and he seemed to be dying.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "No, the granary is on fire..."

Now Shi Bao immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the granary, he was terrified and furious.

"No, I fell into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, you follow me..."

After saying that, Shi Bao immediately grabbed a war horse and ran towards the granary at high speed!
