After receiving the good news from Gongdu, General Taishi Ci quickly inquired about it in detail.
It turns out that this guy is also lucky.
Because it was suppressed by the Hebei Army, the Chu Army's range of activities gradually became smaller.
This made Gong, who was free-spirited and fond of hunting, intolerable.
It's okay to fight, but you don't fight every day. There's always a break, right?
Others, on the other hand, recharge their batteries or practice martial arts during the truce period.
No longer would someone like Liu Pi study a good concubine and solve physiological problems.
But Gong Du is different from others.
This guy's only hobby is hunting.
Now is the war period, Gong Du can only suppress his hobbies in his heart.
Now that the Chu army has retreated to Chengyang County, the scope of activities has become smaller, and Gong Du has nowhere to display his hobbies.
This suffocated this naughty thing.
Finally, in recent days, the Hebei Army stopped its offensive and began to rest.
Gong Du took some time off from his busy schedule to go hunting alone.
The range of activities has been suppressed, right? Okay, I’ll go to the river to catch fish, right?
After all, it is impossible for a large army to camp directly on the edge of a river.
Although water can be obtained nearby, there are too many uncertainties near the river, so the army usually camps several miles away from the river.
And this gave Gong Du room to play.
Are you kidding me? Is the nickname Bai Tiao in Langli called me for nothing? When I find you people coming, I won’t dive into the water? Who can find out?
It was because of this confidence that Gong Du sneaked to the river to fish.
After all, this is also a kind of hunting, isn’t it? As long as it’s enjoyable.
When Gong Du arrived at the banks of the Wushui River, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the north bank just as he entered the river.
At this point in time, if the sound of horse hooves can be heard, it must be the Hebei Army.
Gong Du didn't waste any time and dived straight into the Wuhe River.
But what surprised him was that he saw not only cavalry, but also groups of grain trucks.
This is obviously the Hebei Army's grain transport convoy!
After diving in for a long time, Gong Du surfaced after the convoy left.
No nonsense, Gong Du put on his clothes and followed the traces left by the convoy, and finally discovered where the Hebei Army stored grain.
When he discovered that the place where the Hebei Army's grain was stored was actually in a dense forest three miles away by the Wushui River, Gong Du was so excited that he almost went crazy.
How could Gong Du, a general, not know about the current situation?
Now that I have made such a great contribution, I am afraid I will be heavily rewarded!
Sure enough, when Taishi Ci learned what happened, he completely ignored this guy's violation of military discipline and made a lot of promises to him.
"Well done! Gong Du, this general can only name you General Yamen for the time being.
After we destroy the Hebei Army's granary and defeat the Hebei Army, I promise that I will reward you heavily from the Overlord!"
Gong Du was even more excited after receiving the reward and promise from Tai Shici.
That night, he led the Chu army straight to the Hebei army granary.
As for why we need to send out troops at night?
Just kidding, the Hebei Army is now fully suppressing the Chu Army on the front line.
If we move during the day, wouldn't we be discovered by the Hebei Army's scouts?
Even during this night operation, Taishi Ci only brought 5,000 soldiers and armor, and the remaining soldiers remained in the camp and were given to Zang Ba's command.
After all, the smaller the number of people, the lower the chance of being discovered.
Besides, even if the granary is tightly guarded, there are probably only 18,000 people.
As long as the nighttime sneak attack is carried out properly, the granary can be burned down without the defenders being aware of it.
Sneaking all the way, Taishi Ci's army finally arrived at the place guided by Gong Du.
When he saw that it was indeed the place where the Hebei army stored grain, Taishi Ci was completely relieved.
Now, all we have to do is capture this grain storage place and then burn the grain and grass. I'm afraid it will be a pity at least to delay the Hebei Army for a long time, right?
You know, this is not the season for harvesting food.
Qingzhou has been suffering from wars for many years, and there is not much food stored among the people. Now the Hebei Army has continued to use troops, and even looted all the food in Qingzhou.
If the grain stored here is destroyed, the Hebei army may have to temporarily retreat back to Beihai and wait for the grain shipped from Jizhou.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
By the moonlight, Taishi Ci, who had extraordinary archery skills, killed all the defenders who were on duty at night.
"All troops, attack!"
After getting rid of the soldiers guarding the night, Taishi Ci took the lead with two whips in his hands and rushed towards the Hebei Army granary to kill.
"Kill!"
"Kill all the Hebei troops!"
In the silent midnight, the granary defenders who had been sleeping soundly were suddenly awakened by the deafening shouts of murder.
Countless soldiers died on the bed before they could realize what happened.
Even if soldiers occasionally reacted, they were unable to resist the murderous Chu army.
"Damn it! Why is it so noisy outside? Is there an enemy coming?"
Deep in the granary, Hebei Army General Han Dong, who was in charge of guarding, was also awakened.
After some questioning, when he learned that it was the Chu army who was attacking the camp, the remaining three points of sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
Cold sweat began to drip down Han Dong's forehead.
Damn it, why are Chu troops here?
You know, because the Hebei army was attacking everywhere, it was not convenient for the granary to follow the army.
But because of the importance of granaries, the Hebei Army deliberately found such secret places to store grain.
But no one could have imagined that such a secret place would be discovered by a coward who came out to fish.
"Don't panic, don't panic, hold on! As long as we hold on, General Gao Lan will come to our rescue after daybreak!"
Guard General Han Dong is still sober and knows that the most important thing in the current situation is to stabilize the morale of the army.
After all, if there is such a big commotion, Gao Lan will naturally know about it after dawn.
As long as the Hebei Army with cavalry discovers changes in the granary, support will be absolutely rapid.
However, Han Dong only focused on reorganizing the army, but forgot about his own safety.
Breaking in all the way, countless Hebei troops fell to Tai Shici's double whip while they were still at a loss.
But Taishi Ci still charged towards the depths without stopping.
Because he knew that a granary of this size would be guarded by generals from the Hebei Army.
As long as the enemy generals can be killed, the Hebei Army will not be able to organize effective resistance.
Sure enough, Taishi Ci's judgment was correct.
When he rushed deep, Han Dong happened to walk out of the camp and shouted to the soldiers.
This was heard by the Hebei Army and also by Taishi Ci.
When he found out where the enemy general was, if he had anything to say, he quickly stepped forward and raised both whips in his hands.
When Han Dong found out that Tai Shi Ci was coming to kill him, it was too late to react.
After all, how could a mere first- or third-rate military general withstand an attack by a general like Tai Shici without preparation?
