It took a full hour for the thirteen exhausted people to cross the Yellow River. They took four rafts, one of which broke and sank, almost causing a catastrophe.
Everyone sat on the river beach to rest and check their equipment. Guo Song wrapped the bow in oil paper, put it in a sealed sheepskin bow bag, and carried it on his back. He also carried a pot of arrows and an iron horizontal knife.
In addition, there is a fire box wrapped in oil paper sealed at the waist.
Although he was soaked all over, the bow and arrows and fire box were not affected.
At this time, Li Ji saw that everyone was almost rested, so he said to everyone: "There are still more than twenty miles ahead, let's set off quickly!"
Everyone packed their bags and got up and hit the road.
At the third watch, a group of people arrived at the rock. They stood on the height of the rock and looked down. Li Ji's expression suddenly changed. Guo Song also saw it. Ten mountain rafts were moored on the shore, blocking the exit of the horse pen.
Yes, they should have shipped the goods today and will not leave until at least early tomorrow morning.
Guo Song said in a deep voice: "I'll deal with it!"
Li Ji nodded, "Guo Chongqing will go with you!"
"Good luck to everyone, see you later!"
Guo Song jumped up and jumped under the rock. Guo Chongqing was secretly speechless, quickly climbed down the rock, and followed Guo Song towards the river.
Li Ji led the others around the rocks and toward the sheep and horse pen.
Guo Song and Guo Chongqing rushed along the river, and soon they gradually approached the mountain raft. There were torches lit on the shore, illuminating the surroundings. There were more than twenty soldiers doing rough work lying on the ground, all wrapped up tightly with blankets.
Wrapped up tightly, he was sleeping soundly. There were two soldiers sitting on each side of the gate of the sheep and horse pen. Although he was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, he still managed to stay alert and watch.
Guo Song gestured to Guo Chongqing, telling them to take one each. Guo Chongqing nodded, and the two of them climbed into the sheep and horse pen and groped behind the two sentries.
For a moment, the two men were squatting behind the sentry, with a wooden pillar between them. Guo Song and Guo Chongqing nodded, and they started to move together. Guo Song covered the sentry's mouth and stabbed the dagger into his back.
Chongqing was even more cruel and crushed the sentry's throat.
The two jumped out of the sheep and horse pen, and a soldier walked towards them. He was coming back from urinating, and happened to meet Guo Song, who was wearing black clothes. He was shocked. Just as he was about to shout, he saw a flash of cold light, and Guo Song
Song's dagger shot into his throat. The soldier clutched his throat and fell on his back. Guo Song killed him with another stab.
The two men worked together, cutting the throats of all the twenty sleeping soldiers and stabbing them to death.
"Keep watch for me, I'm in the water!"
Guo Song placed his bow, arrows, horizontal knife and fire box in the grass on the shore. He only had the dagger and wrist knife given to him by Duan Sanniang, which was enough to deal with these mountain rafts.
Guo Chongqing laughed and said, "I'll cut off the rope, and you can get into the water!"
The two of them had already agreed on the road to simply destroy all ten mountain rafts. Even if their operation failed, without transportation tools, Xue Yantuo's logistics would inevitably encounter serious difficulties.
Guo Song dived into the water silently, and Guo Chongqing began to cut the ropes that fixed the mountain rafts. The small mountain-like rafts left the shore and floated toward the river.
Guo Song swam to the bottom of the first mountain raft. Although the mountain raft had a large carrying capacity, it also had obvious weaknesses. One was that it was afraid of fire. The whole raft was made by peeling off the skin of a whole sheep and sewing it into a skin bag.
After inflating, it becomes a pneumatic tire. Hundreds of pneumatic tires are tied together to form a large mountain raft. The sheepskin is so thin that it will burst when burned by fire and pierced by a sword.
Another biggest weakness is at the bottom. There is a huge raft at the bottom. The mountain raft is placed on the raft. All you need to do is cut the rope of the raft and then scratch a layer of leather padding at the bottom to reveal the supplies inside.
They will all fall into the water.
'Tsk--' The sharp dagger cut through the leather mat at the bottom of the raft, making a gash about ten feet long, and Guo Song casually cut off the ropes binding the raft.
The dagger Duan Sanniang gave him was indeed extremely sharp and very powerful. When the dagger was gently cut, the rope broke, and the raft fell apart. There was a loud bang, and all the hundreds of sheep in the raft fell out of the cracks in the leather pads.
They fell into the river and struggled desperately, but it was in vain. The current was too strong and they were swept away at once.
In just one stick of incense, the bottoms of all ten mountain rafts were destroyed. Nearly 10,000 sheep fell into the river and were washed away by the river. The mountain rafts also floated downstream with the water...
When Guo Song went ashore, he saw five or six more corpses on the ground. He probably discovered something abnormal and ran over to check the situation. Guo Chongqing killed all of them. Guo Chongqing had disappeared. He must have sneaked into the sheep and horse pen.
Guo Song changed into the clothes of a Xue Yantuo soldier, picked up his sword and bow and arrows, put the fire box into his arms, and ran towards the camp.
The ignition mission he performed was actually to set fire to the camp, disturb the enemy troops, snipe the enemy troops to support the sheep and horse pens, and cover others to destroy the sheep and horse pens. It can be said to be the most difficult and dangerous task, and his martial arts skills are slightly inferior.
, it is almost impossible to come back alive.
Li Ji and his ten men had already killed more than a dozen patrol sentries and sneaked into the sheep and horse pen. They were divided into two groups. Li Ji, Lin Tai and Liang Wu went to deal with the more than 20 defenders in the sheep and horse pen. The others
Responsible for destroying the guardrail between the horses and the sheep, riding into the sheep, and then driving the sheep toward the river. Sheep are blind animals and follow the flow. As long as the leader is driven to the river, the rest will
All the sheep will follow.
Hundreds of thousands of sheep will instinctively jump into the river and swim to the other side. Unfortunately, the current is too fast and most of the sheep will not be able to swim to the other side. They will eventually be swept away by the rapids and washed into the Yellow River.
The biggest problem with this plan is that three thousand troops will come to the rescue to prevent the sheep from entering the water.
Of course, we cannot expect that all the soldiers will be sleeping soundly without being awakened, or that their actions will not be discovered by the enemy. How is this possible? As soon as the horse pen is opened, the groom will be the first to notice.
Therefore, Guo Song's mission was crucial. He wanted to burn the entire camp and make the enemy troops flee for their lives in panic instead of coming to stop the sheep.
Guo Song climbed into the military camp from the northeast corner, and a large tent appeared in front of him. A horse was tied to a wooden stake in front of the tent, and a lighted oil lamp was hung on the wooden stake. Guo Song suddenly realized that he had no idea what he was doing.
There was no need to use a fire box. There was an oil lamp hanging in front of many big tents, so they could see the camps like dots on the rocks.
Guo Song cut off the reins of his war horse with a sword, got on his horse, pierced the oil lamp with a horizontal knife, and threw the oil lamp towards the tent. More than a dozen balls of sparks fell on the tent, and the tent made of wool was immediately ignited.
At this time, a Xue Yantuo soldier walked out of the tent. In a flash of cold light, Guo Song cut his throat with a knife and ran towards the depths of the tent. In just a moment, more than thirty tents were set on fire one after another.
, fueled by the night wind, the fire began to spread rapidly.
Guo Song galloped through the camp on horseback, shouting in grassland dialect: "The Tang army is coming to kill, the main force of the Tang army is coming to kill, run for your life!"
At this time, a commander in charge of the logistics camp was frightened and angry. He rode over on horseback. He reined in his horse in the distance and asked loudly: "Where is the main force of the Tang army?"
Guo Song raised his bow and nocked an arrow, shouting: "General, I'm right behind you!"
The captain was shocked. He looked back and saw nothing behind him. He was furious. When he turned around and was about to question, an arrow had already arrived in front of him. "Pfft!" The arrow shot from between his eyebrows and went straight to his brain. The captain screamed
With a sound, the dead body fell to the ground.
The eyes of several soldiers were red, and they drew their swords and rushed towards Guo Song. Guo Song urged his horse to run to the side, more than fifty steps apart, and shot five arrows in a row. All five soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Guo Song disappeared in the
In the dark.
Just listen to him continue to shout: "The main force of the Tang army has entered the camp, run for your life!"
The fire took advantage of the wind, and the fire burned more and more fiercely. A burning tent was even blown into the air by the wind. More than half of the military camp was ignited by the fire. Most of the soldiers were barefoot and bare-chested, wearing only a pair of fur pants. They scrambled
They ran out of the big tent, pushed each other, and fled outside the camp in great panic...
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of sheep were driven into the blue water. They could still swim at first, but soon they disappeared one by one. Most of the sheep disappeared halfway and were swept away by the rapids.
Li Ji stared blankly at the raging sea of fire in the distance. He really did not expect that Guo Song could do such a good job. If he had known that he would bring 300 people, he could annihilate all 3,000 people.
"Captain! All the sheep have entered the water." Guo Chongqing ran over on horseback and shouted.
Li Ji sighed softly and said to Guo Chongqing: "The Guo family will regret it sooner or later if they give up on him!"
He looked at the crowd and immediately shouted: "Retreat!"
"But what should Guo Song do?" Duan Sanniang asked anxiously.
"We'll meet on the other side of the rock!"
Twelve people on horseback rushed out of the sheep and horse pen, sprinted towards the east, and gradually disappeared on the grassland.
