Chapter 517 Entering the Enemy Camp and Destroying the Granary
Midnight, outside Yuzhou City.
The sleeping people suddenly woke up from their dreams. The sound of horse hooves in the distance was like thunder, which made the heaven and earth shake.
"The bastard is coming! The bastard is coming! Everyone, run away!"
The village chief held the gong and shouted while dragging his family to the barren hills behind the village.
In the village, the crow of chickens, the barking of dogs, and the cries of women and children turned into a mess.
Some of them didn't even bother to put on their clothes. They got up from the bed, hugged their children and ran up the mountain.
But they were still a step slow.
The army of barbarians on war horses arrived quickly. They were a group of crazy beasts and a group of executioners who killed without blinking an eye!
They kill people when they see them, rob food when they see them, and burn houses when they see them, even if the people kneeling in front of them are unarmed old, weak, women and children!
The quiet and peaceful village soon turned into a pool of blood and fire, but this cruel war had just begun.
In Yuzhou City, dozens of miles away, the soldiers on duty noticed something strange outside the city and immediately blew the warning horn.
As early as five days ago, Chen Yu, the magistrate of Yuzhou, received an urgent report from the capital, asking him to take precautions.
He had been organizing troops and preparing food and fodder for the past five days, but before everything was ready, this day came.
It came quickly and suddenly.
After the warning horn sounded, it was no more than a stick of incense, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the city were assembled and ready to go.
Chen Yu stood in front of the tower and made an impassioned speech to boost morale:
"Everyone, please go all out to defend Yuzhou City and our parents, wives and children!
Reinforcements from the capital will arrive soon. The moment the reinforcements arrive is not only the moment of our victory, it is also the moment when we leave the city and piss on the heads of the barbarians!
Brothers, let’s fight for the final victory!”
"Fight for the final victory!"
"Fight it! Fight it!"
The loud shouts were like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, bringing blood-soaking light and hope.
Every soldier carries a fierce loyalty, shouts and shouts to his position, ready to fight.
However, the cruel reality poured cold water on their heads.
An army of 60,000 barbarians passed through the border like locusts, swarming over the ground, and surrounded the city of Yuzhou tightly like iron barrels.
Catapults, ladders, chariots...all kinds of equipment were put into battle in turn, and the barbarian army came with force, like wolves and tigers.
On the city tower, soldiers continued to fall, and soldiers continued to fill the vacancies. From late at night to dawn, in just two hours, the corpses inside and outside the city wall had piled up into a hill.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Chen Yu suppressed the red circles in his eyes. It was too fierce. The barbarian's attack this time was too fierce!
If this continues, Yuzhou City will be lost before tomorrow!
A soldier cried and said what was deep in the hearts of many people: "Chen Zhizhou, how about we surrender?"
Surrendering may save one life, and we can wait until reinforcements arrive to fight back. If we hold on until the end, we will really lose everything.
Chen Yu slapped him with his backhand and cursed angrily: "Confused! Who are the barbarian army, do you still know?
Once we let them into the city, not only will we die, but the people in the city will also suffer!
In this battle, we can only advance and not retreat! Even if we only have our last breath left, we must grit our teeth and guard it for me!"
At this time, groups of people came over carrying hot porridge and steamed buns. Everyone played gongs and shouted. When they saw a soldier in military uniform, they stopped and stuffed a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge into his hand.
There were also some young men who broke into the military camp carrying their own rakes and hoes, clamoring to join the army and defend the city.
The soldiers who wanted to retire ate hot steamed buns, with tears mixed with sweat flowing into the corners of their mouths.
What to withdraw? What to invest?
Just for the sake of the group of people in front of them, they had to grit their teeth and get through it!
At the same time, the east and west cities of Yuzhou were also in dire straits...
When the news that three cities on the southern border of Da Qi were raided by enemy troops reached the Da Qi army, Meng Yuan immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.
It is necessary to speed up the march and arrive at the trapped city for support as soon as possible. However, according to intelligence, Jiang State has sent more than 100,000 troops this time. If he wants to defeat the enemy army as soon as possible and rescue the trapped people, it may be difficult to achieve the goal directly.
.
If you want to win, and win as quickly as possible, you must find other ways.
After some discussion, Meng Yuan decided to send another group of troops to bypass the border and sneak into the territory of Jiang State to cut off the food and grass transportation route of Jiang State's army.
Without food and grass, Jiang's army will inevitably be in chaos. They will take this opportunity to cooperate with the people in the city and launch an offensive, with a high probability of victory in one fell swoop.
But the problem is that we have to support three cities at the same time, and also send people to attack Jiang Guo's grain and grass troops. A total of four generals are needed, and there are not so many talents available in the army!
Coach Meng Yuan, plus two lieutenants, there are only three people.
At this time, Meng Qifeng stepped forward and said: "General, my subordinates are willing to lead troops to sneak into the territory of Jiang State and burn down their grain and grass camps!"
"You?" Meng Yuan hesitated, "Qifeng, I understand your desire to go out on the field to kill the enemy, and I also know that you are capable enough to deal with this matter. But on the battlefield, ability and passion are not enough. You also need experience and courage.
.
You are too young and have entered the battlefield for the first time, so it is better to gain some experience first."
Meng Qifeng was very insistent, "General, please trust me!
Jiang State has many mountains and hills. This kind of terrain is most suitable for ambush operations, and what my subordinates and the brothers in the archery team are best at is ambush!
Coupled with the help of rocket crossbows, my subordinates will definitely take down Jiang Guo’s granary!”
Meng Yuan looked at the resolute-faced young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.
His son has grown up!
"The captain of the archery team, Meng Qifeng, listened to the order. I now appoint you as the Pingman general. You will lead the archery team of 500 people and 2,000 soldiers to sneak into the enemy's territory and burn the enemy's food and grass.
Remember, be careful and try not to have a head-on conflict with the enemy. Once the situation changes, immediately return to Daqi and join the main team!"
Meng Qifeng exhaled, and his voice was extremely loud: "General Meng Qifeng, Pingman Councilor, listen to your orders!"
In the afternoon of that day, the troops of the Southern Expedition rushed to the battlefield in three groups. The soldiers who had been holding on for a day and a night finally ushered in the dawn of hope at the moment when they were about to fall.
A small-scale war immediately broke out between several teams. While several teams were fighting hard, Meng Qifeng led a small team of people in disguise to quietly bypass the border between the two countries and arrive at the territory of Jiang State.
The first step in entering the country is to explore the food and grass transportation route for Jiang Guo’s army.
In order to save time, Meng Qifeng divided his soldiers into several small teams to survey the enemy's situation along different directions. Once any team discovered anything, they would immediately follow the clues to find out the location of the enemy's granary to facilitate the next move.
Most of the archery team are young men like Meng Qifeng who have never been on the battlefield after joining the army. They have endless strength and travel around sleeplessly after entering the army.
But after a day, everyone found nothing.
Everything seems to be at an impasse. This chapter has been completed!
