Chapter 142 Sneaking in the dense forest and divine soldiers descending from the sky
Mi Yang's idea gradually took shape today after seeing the Wu army withdrawing from the siege.
Even though he knew before that Wu Jun's food, grass and baggage were all in the port outside Public Security City, he just kept this information deep in his heart.
In the original situation where Wu's army was besieging the city on all sides, even if he knew where Wu's army's food and supplies were, he had no room for maneuver.
Because he could not lead his army out of the city and go to the port outside the public security city.
But when Sun Quan ordered the Wu army to withdraw from outside the west gate today, he gave Mi Yang an excellent opportunity.
After having the idea of destroying Wu's army's food, grass and baggage in his mind, Mi Yang immediately ordered Samoko to send barbarians to the outside of the west gate to explore the terrain outside the west gate leading to the public security port.
Outside the west gate of Public Security City, there are dense mountains and forests.
For ordinary Han troops, those dense forests may be a natural barrier blocking their exploration paths.
This was also one of the reasons why Sun Quan dared to remove the defenders of Ximen.
With dense mountain forests blocking the road, even if Liu Bei's reinforcements arrived, they could not reach the Gong'an City directly, and the same was true for Mi Yang in the Gong'an City.
Sun Quan didn't believe what Mi Yang could do when faced with mountains and forests.
But unfortunately, Sun Quan overlooked one point. Mi Yang had thousands of Wuxi barbarians in his hands.
Perhaps in Sun Quan's eyes, he never put these despicable barbarians in his eyes.
It's just that Mi Yang never ignores every card in his hand.
For the Wuxi barbarians who have lived in the mountains and forests for generations, no matter how dense the mountains and forests are, they will not disrupt their sense of direction.
The mountains and forests are the places they are most familiar with.
At first, the Wuxi Barbarians, led by Shamoko, passed through the dense forest outside the west gate of the Public Security Bureau and arrived at the foot of the Public Security City.
Wuxi Barbarians also have a huge advantage, that is, most of them do not have night blindness!
The Wuxi barbarians live by fishing and hunting. Although they are not as good as the Han people in that they can cultivate their own food, they rely on fishing and hunting to make a living. Most of the time, they have no shortage of meat.
Fish in the water and wild beasts in the mountains are their staple food.
Moreover, Wuxi Man also has its own unique advantage.
One of the reasons why there were fewer night raids in ancient times is that most ancient soldiers suffered from night blindness.
Another reason is that most of the soldiers cannot see during night attacks, so they are commanded by voice.
This requires the soldiers to be familiar with each other's voices so that they will not be accidentally injured or mishear instructions.
This is undoubtedly difficult, and it often requires a soldier from the countryside to do it.
As recorded in "Guanzi·Xiaokuang": "For those who died in the army, people protect each other, family members love each other, live with each other for a short period of time, travel with each other for long periods of time, offer sacrifices to each other for blessings, mourn each other for death, and worry about each other's misfortunes and blessings.
They rejoice with each other, behave harmoniously with each other, and cry with each other in mourning. Therefore, hearing the sounds of each other's battles at night is enough to prevent chaos."
But this is too simple for Wuxi Man, who has a barbarian language.
During night attacks, they only need to respond to each other in barbarian language. Although they have not received strict training, they have their own unique way of communication.
After Samoko's return route had been found out, Mi Yang immediately ordered Samoko to lead the way.
In the previous battle, Mi Yang discovered that the Wuxi barbarians were difficult to train. If no one was watching them and sending them out to fight alone, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
But now in the public security city, the only one who can confidently command these five thousand Wuxi barbarians is him, whom Samoko respects and loves in his heart.
Outside the west gate, a small boat has been prepared.
The suspension bridge outside the west gate had been burned down in the ambush that night, so Mi Yang could only cross the moat by boat.
As for the five thousand barbarian soldiers, after Mi Yang crossed the river by boat, they jumped into the river one after another and swam towards the other side just like that night.
Soon after, Mi Yang and the five thousand barbarians all arrived on the other side.
After arriving on the other side, Mi Yang and five thousand barbarians, led by the leader of the Yiwuxi barbarians, plunged into the dense forest outside the city.
Although it is winter, there are still many weeds growing in the dense forests in the south.
And after hundreds of thousands of years of growth, the trees in the dense forest are very tall.
Although the branches and leaves on the trees are not as lush as in summer, they are still gathered together in layers, blocking the moonlight from the sky.
Therefore, when Mi Yang entered the dense forest, his eyes instantly went dark and he could not see anything.
Although he does not have night blindness, anyone in a mountain forest without any light will lose their vision.
At this time, many of the five thousand barbarian soldiers lit up torches. Under the illumination of thousands of torches, Mi Yang could barely see the road ahead.
The deep forest is eerily silent at night. Except for the occasional sound of wild beasts coming from the depths of the forest, there is no other sound.
Because of the silence, Mi Yang could even clearly hear the breathing of Mi Zhong beside him as he hurried on.
The team of five thousand people lined up like a long dragon, but there were not many people around Mi Yang.
Although there were thousands of torches lit in the dense forest at this time, these thousands of torches were scattered throughout the entire team.
Therefore, the firelight emitted by the torch next to Mi Yang at this moment can only illuminate an area of three feet around Mi Yang at most.
The light at this distance is just a drop in the ocean for the mountains and forests that stretch for hundreds of miles.
If ordinary people entered this silent and deep forest alone, they would be scared out of their wits.
Even though Mi Yang knew that there were thousands of barbarian soldiers behind him at this time, the unknown feeling about the environment and the extremely deep environment made him feel a little depressed.
When Mi Yang was on his way, he looked at the barbarians around him.
Because the Wuxi barbarians had not received formal training, their formation looked very messy.
But in this dense forest, they are like the masters of this mountain forest.
They don't need to be like Mi Yang, who always looks at their feet when they are on the road.
Some of them scattered around spontaneously, observing the situation around them to see if there were any signs of wild beasts.
Some of them could even quickly climb onto trees several feet high and stand on the tree trunks to check whether the army was marching in the right direction.
In this mountain forest that made Mi Yang feel uncomfortable, the five thousand Wuxi barbarian soldiers seemed as natural as returning to their own home.
They are so familiar with everything here, they are like the elves in the mountains and forests, flexible and vigorous.
As Mi Yang and the five thousand barbarian soldiers went deeper and deeper into the dense forest, the leaves on the ground became thicker and thicker. When Mi Yang stepped on it, it was as soft as stepping on a human belly.
As you go deeper into the dense forest, the trees become more densely distributed.
Because Mi Yang was in a hurry, his body touched the hard branches of the tree many times, causing him great pain.
Some sharp branches quickly crossed Mi Yang's face due to his speed, leaving a lot of blood marks on his face.
Because of the cold weather, these pains are invisibly amplified.
But Mi Yang never let out a cry of pain, or even shouted a word to stop.
What made Mi Yang most uncomfortable was that after running at high speed for a long time, his physical strength was rapidly depleted.
His throat felt increasingly dry, and because of his breathing, when the air passed through his throat, it would cause bursts of pain.
There were many small beads of sweat on Mi Yang's forehead.
Mi Yang's body's physical fitness is not bad. Because he was born during the war and grew up on the run, Mi Yang has been proficient in riding bows and horses since he was a child.
But no matter how strong his physical fitness is, he can't compare with these barbarian soldiers who grew up in the mountains and forests.
When it comes to running in the mountains, even if a red rabbit is pulled by a horse, the barbarian soldiers may not be able to escape.
He knew that as soon as he made a sound, the barbarian soldiers sneaking in the dense forest would stop, and he would also be able to rest.
But Mi Yang didn't want to do that.
Guan Ping, Yu Jin, and thousands of Han troops were fighting tooth and nail because of his order. How could he, the general, rest?
After running for another distance, Mi Yang, who was exhausted, accidentally tripped over a dead tree on the ground.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and raised the sheathed sword straight into the ground, which prevented him from falling.
At this time, Samoko, who was not far away from Mi Yang, saw this. He came to Mi Yang and said with concern, "Master, why don't we take a rest for a while."
Shamoko knew that after running such a long distance, Mi Yang's physical strength should be almost exhausted.
In Shamoko's view, it is commendable that Mi Yang, a Han Chinese, has been able to persist for such a long time.
But although Mi Yang was very tired at this time, he rejected Samoko's proposal.
Mi Yang straightened his back and looked ahead, where there was no light at all. He then looked at the entire team that had stopped because of him.
Mi Yang then remembered Liu Bei and Fazheng during the Battle of Hanzhong.
Liu Bei's initial attack on Yangping Pass was unfavorable, so on Fazheng's suggestion, he decided to cross the Han River south and climb over the mountains to reach Dingjun Mountain southeast of Yangping Pass.
Liu Bei and Fazheng, who had to climb mountains and ridges and cut trees to make roads, must have had the same hard work as him.
But the two of them persisted and did not back down, and the battle at Dingjun Mountain took place.
If the seniors are like this, how can the juniors embarrass them?
He didn't know how long he would keep running, but he knew he couldn't stop now.
Mi Yang said to Samoko, "A true man should hold a three-foot sword and achieve immortal deeds.
Now that the sword is in my hand, how can I shrink back due to temporary fatigue?"
After finishing speaking, Mi Yang took a deep breath and immediately ran forward again.
Seeing Mi Yang taking the initiative and running out again, Shamoko showed admiration on his face.
Such a determined person is worthy of his service.
Then Shamoko commanded five thousand barbarians and continued to advance.
In the quiet and deep mountain forest, there were five thousand barbarian soldiers who were like messengers of the night. Under the leadership of a young man, they galloped towards their destination.
In the extremely dark mountain forest, there are little lights shining in the mountain forest.
It was the torch in the hands of the five thousand barbarians to guide them, and it was also the spark that could ignite the Wu army's path to survival.
After marching for who knows how long, Mi Yang finally discovered a few flickering lights outside the mountain forest ahead.
He was overjoyed and knew that his destination was coming soon.
At this time, Mi Yang's legs were already as heavy as if they were tied with several lead weights.
But after seeing this, a force burst out from his body, causing him to finally run out of the forest and reach a hillside.
After Mi Yang rushed out of the forest, many barbarian soldiers behind him also appeared on the hillside one after another.
More and more barbarians came out of the forest, until they finally occupied the entire hillside.
Mi Yang, the leader, looked down at the brightly lit port with figures flashing.
Looking at the countless warships parked in the port and the unprepared Wu Jun below, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
There was a "Zheng" sound, and a sword sound sounded.
Mi Yang, who stood proudly in the firelight, drew out his sword and pointed it downward. He said coldly: "It can be struck."
During the Battle of Hanzhong, there was also a world-famous genius who uttered these three words on the slopes of Dingjun Mountain.
The feather fan points down, Xiahou is awarded the head, and the world will be decided in one battle!
At this time, Mi Yang looked very much like his teacher.
After receiving Mi Yang's order to send troops, Shamoko, who could no longer contain his fighting spirit, took off his caltrop bone from his back.
Then with a sneer on his face, he led his barbarian soldiers and charged down, shouting.
The Art of War says: If you attack with high altitude, you will be invincible.
Thousands of barbarian soldiers were killed very quickly. Under the leadership of Shamoko, they took out their weapons one after another and howled towards the Wu army in the port at the foot of the mountain.
It was late at night, and many of Wu's soldiers were still sleeping soundly.
Although Sun Quan left nearly 10,000 soldiers to guard the public security port.
But they were outside the Public Security City, in the rear of the Wu army, and they would never have thought that an enemy army would suddenly come towards them in the middle of the night.
When the sleepy Wu Jun who was patrolling outside the port saw thousands of enemy troops with devilish faces rushing down the hillside not far away and shouting menacingly to kill, they were frightened and at a loss.
At this time, Shamoko led thousands of barbarians and had already killed them.
In normal times, the Wu army may not be a match for the Wuxi barbarians in a head-on confrontation.
What's more, what happens now when they are at a loss and defenseless?
As a result, the overwhelming force of thousands of barbarians swallowed up the hundreds of Wu troops who were guarding the outside like a raging flood, and then continued to surge towards Wu Jun's port.
In an instant, in this quiet police port, countless shouts of death and wailing sounded.
The sound that was about to reach the sky woke up thousands of Wu troops who were sleeping soundly. However, before they could react, they were surrounded and killed in the barracks by thousands of barbarians who had rushed into the port.
While these barbarian soldiers were attacking and killing, they also set fire everywhere.
Song Qian, the guard general of the Wu Army at the Public Security Port, slept drunk every night because he felt that the Public Security Port was extremely safe.
When he heard the shouting of killing outside the camp, he was knocked out of sleep and had not yet recovered from his drunkenness.
At this time, his door was knocked open by a Wu Jun. The Wu Jun was covered in blood. As soon as he came in, he threw himself on Song Qian's bed and cried:
"Fire, fire, fire everywhere! It's all burning!"
"General, thousands of Han troops are coming to kill us!"
Facing Wu Jun's report, Song Qian didn't believe it. He angrily shouted: "The Han troops are all in the public security city! Where did the Han troops come from?"
"Is it possible that the Han army is a magic weapon and will fall from the sky!"
Song Qian, who felt that the Wu soldier had lied about the military situation, immediately stood up, put on his armor, drew his sword and went outside the camp to inspect.
But when he arrived outside the camp, he found that the world outside was completely enveloped in fire.
Looking at the thousands of burning warships and the nearly a hundred burning granaries and armories, a look of despair appeared in Song Qian's eyes.
Those grains, grass, ordnance were accumulated by Jiangdong over the past few years. If they were all burned tonight, then he would never be able to atone for his sins by dying, and his clan would definitely be killed by Sun Quan.
At this time, he could no longer care about the enemy's invasion, and quickly ordered his soldiers to start putting out the fire.
But what Song Qian didn't know was that because of his dress, he had been targeted by Shamoko.
Shamoko took three steps at a time and rushed towards Song Qian. Song Qian was still hungover and was focused on putting out the fire, so he didn't even realize that Shamoko was already in front of him.
Shamoko waved the caltrop bone in his hand and hit Song Qian's head hard.
Before Song Qian could reach him and raise his sword to resist, he was already knocked away by the iron caltrop bone in Shamoko's hand, and he couldn't die anymore.
After Song Qian's death, the Wu army, which had lost its general, was even more discouraged and fled in all directions, only remembering to run for their lives.
By this moment, Sun Quan's land of food and supplies had completely fallen.
At this time, Mi Yang also arrived at the public security port.
He looked at the flames soaring into the sky, and at the Wu Jun who was running for his life with fear on his face, Mi Yang couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh in the flames.
Back then, Zhou Gongjin set fire to Chibi, which brought peace to Jiangdong for more than ten years.
Today, Mi Zisheng used fire to destroy the national destiny that Zhou Yu had continued for Jiangdong!
I'm a little tired. I'll update Chapter 3 after a break.
The author works part-time, so he can't stay up late often.
Recently, I have to go to work coding, so my girlfriend doesn’t spend much time with me. I have to coax her to go.
You can join the group to remind you. The group account is in the introduction. I really like everyone to join the group to chat.
