The king behind the empress

Chapter 430 On Fire
Most of the 15 troops heading to Jieyang were newly recruited soldiers, so naturally there was no military discipline.

They almost burned, killed and looted along the way. Wherever they went, towns and cities were looted, and even the people in the town were not spared. After burning the town, they directly recruited the people , Let them be soldiers and civilians, carrying food and grass and the like.

In short, wherever they went, the villages and towns were almost empty.

After Xu Boyuan arrived in Jieyang, he did not stick to the city like the Yuzhi army, but took the initiative to lead the army to attack before the 15 army arrived.

He avoided the front of the 15 troops, intending to attack them in a detour from behind, to catch them by surprise.

However, when he walked around behind this army and discovered the viciousness of what this army had done, he suddenly became furious.

He only saw such a scene when the barbarians plundered the surrounding towns, and even those barbarians did not dare to do such a thing because of Kou Yi's deterrence, but now, in the hinterland of Dazhou, they themselves, do They are actually more ferocious than the barbarians.

Not only him, but even Chen Jiu, who has never had any emotional fluctuations, couldn't help but feel a killing intent in his heart when he saw this scene.

"This large army must be resolved, and it is best to be wiped out."

Chen Jiu, who has never talked much, took the initiative to say at this time: "If they are allowed to escape, even if there are a few hundred people, the surrounding villages and towns will definitely suffer."

"I know."

After Xu Boyuan took a last look at the ruins in front of him, he said silently: "It seems that this kind of army shouldn't let him stay in the world."

"Pass down the order to send twice as many scouts, and let them seal up all the way. Once they encounter the enemy's spies, they will be killed."

At this time, the distance to the 15 troops is only fifteen miles away. If they march in a hurry, with their speed, they can kill them in less than half an hour, but Xu Boyuan did not rush to send troops, but patiently followed them. Behind, waiting for the night to fall.

The matter was unexpectedly simple, the scouts sent by Xu Boyuan didn't even come in handy, because the army in front was too vigilant, although there were a few generals who knew soldiers, the scouts they sent only went forward to check Tan, no one would have thought that Xu Boyuan would appear behind them.

Night fell quickly, because Xu Boyuan and the others were not prepared to take the initiative to attack, so this army didn't even set up a camp, but set up the camp hastily, and then rested on the spot.

"The commander of this army is simply a waste."

When Xu Boyuan brought people to investigate, seeing the scene in front of him, he felt a little contemptuous in his heart. If this kind of unguarded general was on his side, he would have been beheaded hundreds of times, let alone let him He is alone.

But this is also good, the more useless their generals are, the easier it is to fight on their side.

Xu Boyuan observed carefully for a while, there were still many soldiers patrolling in the army, but most of them were only concentrated in the north, compared with the pitifully few soldiers patrolling in the south.

In addition to the patrolling soldiers, there were also some sentries standing guard. Although there were quite a few of them, they didn't respond to each other. It seemed that they were just guarding against the attacks of wild beasts.

After observing outside for a while, Xu Boyuan sneaked in quietly. After getting close, he shot and killed a soldier suddenly, and then quickly changed into his clothes and sneaked in.

Although this move is dangerous, if you can successfully sneak in, you can find out all the situation of this army. After all, their number is too small. Even if it is a night attack, you must find the most important target, otherwise you will be killed. It is also difficult for some people to hurt the 15 army.

And when the 15 troops reacted, it was still a bit difficult for them to confront head-on.

After changing into the enemy's clothes, Xu Boyuan walked swaggeringly in their camp. Except for some generals' tents that he couldn't get close to, he walked around the rest of the place. But with Xu Boyuan's strength, he didn't let them issue a warning at all, and he solved them all.

"The defense is really lax."

After turning out of the camp, Xu Boyuan sighed again, not to mention ordinary places, even the places where luggage, food, and ordnance were stored, he was allowed to wander around. An army like this would be a ghost if it didn't lose.

After knowing the situation of the entire camp, Xu Boyuan summoned his subordinates as quickly as possible.

After all, in order to avoid interrogation in the camp, he killed several patrolling soldiers. No one will find out for a short time, but if it takes a long time, maybe there will be no accidents.

"Commander Chen, I have figured out the situation in the enemy camp. I will sneak in with 300 people first, and deal with the patrolling soldiers."

Xu Boyuan looked at Chen Jiu, and said, "Wait until there is a commotion in the camp, and then bring people in, can you?"

"General Xu, you don't need to be so polite. If there is anything I need to do, just ask me."

Although Chen Jiu was expressionless, his eyes were full of killing intent when he looked at the camp, "In this battle, our crime camp will definitely go all out."

"Okay, then it's decided."

Seeing Chen Jiu's attitude, Xu Boyuan didn't say much. He directly selected [-] masters from his first camp, and then slowly approached the enemy's camp from the darkness.

Although the soldiers on the sentry post are to guard against wild beasts, there are nearly 15 people, and torches are lit in many places. Under normal circumstances, wild beasts dare not approach, so their duty is to a large extent to serve as an insurance The role is neither too dangerous nor important, so naturally they can't talk about how serious they are.

The sentries that were supposed to be separated are now all gathered together, a dozen or so people, some of whom are playing games for a dollar, and some who are lying on the side sleeping soundly. They don't look like a sentry at all.

"Six, six, six... Damn, what a one!"

The soldiers of Boxi yelled loudly. This voice directly overwhelmed the movement of Xu Boyuan and the others sneaking in. Looking at the dozens of sentries under the torches in Boxi, Xu Boyuan led more than 30 people, holding short crossbows, on the ground. Creep close.

It may be that these soldiers were too involved in playing, Xu Boyuan and his men were almost within the lighting range of the torches, but these men were still unaware.

Xu Boyuan, who successfully sneaked to the vicinity of these people, couldn't help cursing inwardly when he saw this group of soldiers who were still serious about gambling.

In the process of crawling over, they were all very nervous, and their fingers were all placed near the crossbow. If they were found during the march, they would shoot out the crossbow immediately to prevent these people from calling for help.

As a result, they all crawled close to these people, but these people still didn't notice it. It was a waste of their nervous sweat.

But this is also good, the closer the distance, the greater their confidence in doing it.

Xu Boyuan glanced back at his subordinates, then made several gestures to the back, signaling them to prepare for action.

After confirming that his orders had been conveyed, Xu Boyuan slowly straightened up from the ground, then half-kneeled on the ground, holding a short crossbow, and aimed at the soldiers under the torch.

"Om~ Om~ Om..."

Thirty short crossbows were fired almost at the same time. In the noisy night, the sound of the arrows flying in the air could not be heard at all during the close-range attack, only the sound of the crossbow strings echoing in the air after the arrows were fired.

Thirty arrows, more than a dozen sentries, an average of two arrows per person, and at such a short distance, these soldiers who boarded the camp first aimed at the head, so the dozen or so sentries almost didn't even make a sound. Without saying a word, they all went down.

Almost immediately after the crossbow arrows were shot, Xu Boyuan also followed. After everyone fell down, he just rushed to the vicinity of these corpses with a knife.

He looked around with his eyes and found that nothing had slipped through the net, so he breathed a sigh of relief and inserted the knife back.

"Send a signal to let other people come over, and then clean up the corpse."

The soldiers who boarded the camp first didn't hesitate when they heard the words, they reached out and extinguished the two torches to make the light here a little dim, and then lifted up all the corpses of these people, making an illusion that they were warming around the fire .

Before sneaking in, Xu Boyuan had already arranged the task. The 300 people were divided into two teams. One team was to destroy the supplies and food, while the other team stayed in the army to do damage, that is, to kill people. The more people killed, the better. .

The 300 people quickly divided into two teams and left. Xu Boyuan led one of them and went straight to the luggage.

The soldiers who met them along the way were shot dead by them before they could even issue a warning.

In this way, the people along the way broke into the place where the luggage was stored almost recklessly.

It's just that after arriving at this place, Xu Boyuan and the others became more careful in their actions. Although the enemy's general is very ordinary in terms of army management, he is not an idiot after all. He still deployed a large number of troops to protect near the luggage.

However, this level of protection is not too difficult for Xu Boyuan and the others.

"There are about a thousand people in the entire baggage camp, and the defense is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. As long as we can sneak in, then the baggage is ours, understand?"

Xu Boyuan whispered a few words to his subordinates, then told them to wait first, and quietly groped through the darkness by himself.

"Eh? You also..."

A soldier who was about to go back to the camp just after taking a rest, happened to bump into Xu Boyuan, and he didn't think much about it in a hurry, thinking that Xu Boyuan was also coming to make a convenience, so he was going to say hello, but he didn't finish his sentence , Xu Boyuan had already put his hand on his neck.

"click~"

After a crisp sound, the soldier's body suddenly softened.

Xu Boyuan didn't take this matter to heart at all. After dealing with this soldier, Xu Boyuan, who was going to sneak in, immediately changed his mind and walked directly to the camp without hiding his body.

"Hey, why did you go?"

As soon as Xu Boyuan walked to the gate of the supply camp, he was immediately stopped by someone, but Xu Boyuan didn't panic, pretended to be annoyed, and said, "You're blind, you just went out to pee, didn't you see?"

"Pee, it's been so long since you've been peeing, isn't your thing broken? Haha"

The soldier who was pinched to death by Xu Boyuan just now, the soldiers who guarded the gate were all aware of the convenience of going out, so they didn't care, they just made fun of Xu Boyuan instead, and didn't check carefully.

Xu Boyuan was worried that he would be wrong if he said too much, so he didn't continue to fight back, and walked into the supply camp just like that.

It's just that this time he didn't come to familiarize himself with the situation, so after entering, he stayed at the door and did not go far. After confirming that there was no one else at the door except these people, he immediately blew a whistle.

"Ok?"

Hearing this sound, the guards at the door, instead of being vigilant, turned their heads curiously and asked, "It's midnight, what are you doing?"

"Give you some presents."

Xu Boyuan raised his head with a smile, and after his words fell, the first camp soldiers outside the door immediately killed them with crossbow arrows.

"idiot."

Xu Boyuan shook his head, and then said: "Dispose of the corpse, and then leave a few people here to guard the gate, and the rest will pretend to be patrolling guards, and follow me in."

The action of boarding the camp first was very fast, and the corpses of several people were disposed of directly without attracting anyone's attention.

After entering the baggage camp, Xu Boyuan divided his subordinates into three teams to search for things in the baggage camp purposefully.

"found it!"

When Xu Boyuan found a pile of wooden barrels, he smelled a pungent smell before he got close. He opened it and found that there was indeed a lot of kerosene inside.

"Transport these fierce fire oil and sprinkle it on their tents. If someone obstructs them, just kill them directly. There is no need to cover up."

The main purpose of Xu Boyuan's sneaking in was for these fuel oil. Now that they have found it, they don't have to be so cautious in their actions.

He found a few wooden carts in the supply camp. Although they didn't have horses, with their strength, it wasn't too hard to pull a cart of fierce oil.

Five or six wooden carts filled with kerosene slowly drove out of the supply camp. Occasionally, some people noticed the situation here, and before they even had time to ask, they were shot dead by Xu Boyuan and the others.

Xu Boyuan and the others just poured out all the fire oil in the time of a cup of tea. In the middle, because someone noticed their action, although they were killed by them, it inevitably caused a commotion, but they did not He didn't care, after the fire oil spilled over half of the camp, Xu Boyuan summoned all the people he brought back to avoid accidental injury.

Looking at the somewhat turbulent camp, Xu Boyuan said coldly, "Light it up."

"Here!"

The first camp soldiers who had already prepared responded, and then directly threw the torch in their hands.

"Boom~"

The fierce fire oil ignited immediately when the torch was thrown down, and a raging flame was ignited immediately. The fire was so fierce that even Xu Boyuan and the others, who had been prepared for a long time, were forced to retreat several steps by the fire.

And because Xu Boyuan and the others poured fierce fire oil all in series, so the fire here spread together and quickly spread to the distance.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!!!"
