Chapter 203 Oiran Competition
"Did the Tielin Army attack the grain transport team?"
Li Jikui suspected that he had heard it wrong.
To enter Dakang, Dangxiang people must pass through Qingshui Valley.
The main combat teams attacked Qingshuigu that night. In the past few days after occupying Qingshuigu, Dangxiang has been transporting supplies to the Grand Business.
Tie Linjun kept his tail shrank and stayed honestly on the mountain, never daring to attack the people passing by the canyon.
Many Dangxiang soldiers almost forgot about the fact that there was an iron forest army on the mountain above their heads.
Even Li Jikui thought Tie Linjun had admitted defeat.
Who knew that I suddenly had an attack today.
“How is the loss?”
Li Jikui asked with a dark face.
"More than twenty people died, and the food is still in the canyon."
The subordinates reported.
"Tie Linjun is seeking death!"
Li Jikui slapped the table and said, "Go and call Zhuoban to me."
"yes!"
The subordinate turned around and went out to find Chuozaka.
"Master, are you going to attack Qingshuishan?"
The staff asked.
"Yes, I'm going to cut off Qinghuai's head and make a wine glass."
Until now, Li Jikui still believes that Qinghuai is commanding the Tielin Army.
"But Qingshui Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the cost of a strong attack is too high."
The staff said: "The Tielin Army launched an attack today, and it should be that the food was eaten up. We have to make the final struggle. The general only needs to wait a few more days and they will be defeated without fighting."
"The wheat in the Central Plains should be almost ripe, and it is not a solution to keep dragging it here."
Li Jikui said: "Iron Linjun has been hungry for so many days, so it shouldn't be difficult to capture Qingshui Mountain."
"Master General, two smoke pillars soared into the sky in the south just now, and then the Tielin Army attacked our grain transport team. I always feel that things are a bit strange."
The staff member frowned and said.
Since he saw Yanzhu, he has been a little restless.
"Is it wolf smoke?"
Li Jikui asked.
Since a long time ago, the Central Plains have used wolf smoke to convey emergency military information.
"Just judging from the color of the smoke column, it is not a wolf smoke."
"What else is the sir worried about?"
"I have sent someone to check it out, but I will wait until the inspectors come back before the coach will make a decision."
"That's OK."
Anyway, it won't take long to check the situation, and waiting for a while is nothing.
When Chuoban arrived at the coach's tent, the scout who went out to inquire about the news also happened to come back.
"How about that, what happened to those two smoke pillars?"
The staff asked.
"Mr., in the east, there were Dakang refugees who cooked beans with fire, lit the dead grass from last year, and to the west was a farmer hiding in the mountains to cook and burned the hut."
The scout replied.
“Confirm?”
The staff asked: "Have you found traces of the Tielin Army or other Dakang soldiers?"
"No, it's basically confirmed that it's an accident."
"I just said it, it's not Langyan, sir, you're too careful."
Li Jikui drove away the scout and said with a smile: "It's going to be a war. Many people in Dakang hide in the mountains to take shelter. It's normal to start a fire. What's the point of making a fuss?"
This is also the reason why Jin Feng and Xu Xiao agreed to ignite the two places.
There are too many people in Dakang who are hiding from war in the mountains, and maybe there will be a fire somewhere.
However, the possibility of a fire in both places is slim.
"A fire in one place may be an accident, but there must be something strange about the fire in two places at the same time."
The staff frowned: "Master, I think this matter is related to Tie Linjun."
"Then we should attack Qingshuishan even more. When the Tielin Army is broken, will we know if we ask them?"
Shuozaka is already impatient.
"No, I think I should think twice."
The staff looked at Li Jikui: "Master, give me some more time, I can definitely figure it out."
"Sir, then I'll give you another day."
Li Jikui thought for a while and agreed to the request of his staff.
On Qingshui Mountain, since Jin Feng ordered the attack on the Dangxiang people's grain transport team, all the soldiers of the Iron Lin Army were ready to attack the Dangxiang people.
Who knew that after waiting for more than an hour, the Dangxiang people did not wait until they attacked the mountain, but heard someone shouting in the canyon to persuade them to come.
This is also the idea of the staff. They want to use the call to test Tie Linjun's reaction and thus infer the current status of Tie Linjun.
If the Tielin Army responds or goes down the mountain to surrender, it means that the situation on the mountain is already very bad.
But to his disappointment, the Tie Linjun did not surrender, but the Dangxiang cavalry he sent to call him was shot to the heart of a coldness by a heavy crossbow.
The staff did not give up and sent another cavalry to continue shouting.
As a result, he was shot and killed before he could finish a single sentence.
It's embarrassing now.
If you get close, you will be shot and killed. If you get far away, you will not hear the shouting.
"It seems that Tie Linjun is not in chaos."
The staff sighed, gave up calling for surrender, and returned to the tent with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he was not sure whether Yan Zhu was really related to Tie Linjun.
If Yanzhu is really related to the Tie Linjun, it would not just shoot a grain transport team simply, and there would definitely be a next move.
So he was waiting.
The staff can wait, but Jin Feng can't wait.
The smoke pillar was a sign he and Xu Xiao agreed upon. Two smoke pillars rose, indicating that Xu Xiao needed his cooperation.
"How far can our heavy crossbow shoot at the farthest distance?"
Jin Feng rushed to the heavy crossbow position, found the most experienced crossbow soldier, pointed to the grain warehouse of Dangxiang Camp, and asked, "Is it OK?"
The crossbow soldier put on a pergola in his hand and said in embarrassment:
"Sir, it's almost two miles away here. Even if the arrows can fly over, they will become very floating and basically have no lethality."
"It doesn't matter whether you can kill people, as long as the arrows can fly over."
"If you don't care about the accuracy and lethality, the two heavy crossbows with the largest strength should be able to shoot that far."
The crossbow soldier thought for a while and replied.
"That's good," Jin Feng flashed a cold light: "We have to burn the food and grass of Dangxiang people."
"How to burn?"
The crossbowman asked in confusion.
"Will the arrow make a fire?"
Jin Feng smiled slightly: "Go and find a few jars of lamp oil and get a few plates of hemp ropes."
"I see."
The crossbowman's eyes lit up and he rushed to get the hemp rope and lamp oil.
Jin Feng directed the crossbowmen to wrap the hemp rope to the top of the arrow, then put it in the lamp oil jar and soak it thoroughly, and a rocket was freshly released.
The rockets were not difficult to make, and soon a large bundle was accumulated on the ground.
However, Jin Feng did not attack immediately, but waited until nightfall, when Dangxiang soldiers entered the tent and fell asleep, before ordering the attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two fiery red arrows broke through the night sky and fell into the Dangxiang people's food and grass warehouse.
The cavalry in the Dangxiang army is the main force of combat, and a large amount of war horses need a large amount of forage to feed.
Therefore, various forages accumulated in the grain and grass warehouse of Dangxiang Daying.
And these forages are all dried, just one point.
Chapter completed!
