Poor Family Chapter 723

  Chapter 723 Snowy Night Sneak Attack

The Jin soldiers supported the war by fighting, and they did not carry food and supplies. All the logistics supplies were plundered, so the Jin soldiers liked to use blitzkrieg to seize the city as quickly as possible, that is, to occupy the granary. This is also the reason why the Jin soldiers entered Hebei One of the reasons for burning, killing and looting is that they need a large amount of food, grass, livestock and various materials to ensure the logistical supply of the army.

This time when the Jin soldiers attacked the capital city of the Song Dynasty, the logistics center was placed in Daming City, and there were 20,000 heavy troops stationed there. However, Daming Mansion was still several hundred miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, so Jin Bing built a temporary one at Baimadu on the south bank of the Yellow River. The transit warehouse was guarded by 3,000 soldiers, and the grain and supplies brought in from Daming Mansion were temporarily stored in this temporary warehouse, and then transported continuously to Kaifeng Mansion by a dedicated grain transport team.

Of course, Jin Bing did not have any extra troops to transport food and dry coolies. All the coolies who transported food were young and strong recruited by Jin Bing from various states and counties in Hebei. There were a total of 100,000 people. The logistics support team of the soldiers.

On the night when the Jin soldiers arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo, a cavalry of the Song army appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River. This cavalry was exactly the cavalry sent by Li Yanqing to intercept the forward of the Jin soldiers. It was led by Wang Gui and Niu Gao. The meaning of the first level is to place a highly mobile army on the periphery to harass the enemy at any time. Even if the enemy cannot be forced to withdraw, the cost of the enemy's attack on the city will be increased.

At this time, Wang Gui and a dozen of his subordinates were in a forest ten miles away from Jin Bing's temporary warehouse, looking at the military camp covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres. Of course, the so-called warehouses were actually big tents, which were built quickly. The evacuation is also fast, this is called a temporary warehouse.

However, Jin Bing's guards are extremely strict. Like other nomads, Jin Bing is not good at building slab walls. They just surround a circle with camp fences and dig a trench. Don't think that anyone can get close to the temporary warehouse, which is why Wang Gui observed the enemy's warehouse ten miles away.

  Wang Gui observed for a long time, and said to Yan Qing beside him, "Brother Yan, what do you think?"

Yan Qing also received Li Yanqing's order to follow Wang Gui. He is currently Wang Gui's deputy general with Niu Gao. Yan Qing smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. There are not many Jin people defending the army. Brother Gui leads the army directly." Impact, set fire to the enemy's warehouse, that's enough!"

  Wang Gui squinted his eyes at the barracks for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm not allowed to reveal my strength too early. This time, I have to use ingenuity to steal the camp."

  Yan Qing pouted secretly, didn't she understand that she was throwing the matter to herself? Although Yan Qing curled her lips very slightly, Wang Gui saw it, and Wang Gui said angrily, "What are you doing, you don't want to do it, just say it now!"

  Yan Qing shivered in fright, and quickly laughed and said: "How dare you not do what Brother Gui ordered, I will prepare and report the good news to Brother before dawn."

  Wang Gui suddenly turned his anger into joy, and patted Yan Qing on the shoulder, "After the matter is completed, I will give you two credits!"

   "Brother Gui, isn't it the first achievement?" Yan Qing was a little confused.

   "Of course the first credit should go to me. I, Wang Gui, have a good command!" Wang Gui couldn't help laughing.

  Yan Qing was a little dumbfounded. He had never seen such a thick-skinned boss before, so he couldn't help saying, "Brother Gui, you are too unkind! I'm going to work hard, and the first credit goes to you."

   "I'm just joking with you, I will report the truth to Du Tong and let Du Tong decide, but I guess we are half of us, what do you think?"

  Yan Qing smiled wryly, "Don't rush to settle accounts, wait until I finish this vote, maybe my little life will be lost here this time."

   "Stop talking such nonsense, and go to work."

  The two turned their horses' heads, led their men and ran into the woods, and soon disappeared into the depths of the woods.

A little bit of time passed, and at three o'clock, Yan Qing appeared in the woods with more than 20 highly skilled men. He and Wang Gui had been observing for a long time, and they probably understood the law of the enemy's outer patrols. Fixed post, about every three hundred steps there are two golden cavalry.

This is also the patrol experience of the Jinren. If the patrols are too close to each other, it will waste manpower, and if they are too far apart, they will be easily missed by the enemy. The distance of 300 steps is not too close. I heard that unless the opponent's martial arts is particularly strong, it is difficult to pass the round of patrolling outside. This is indeed an effective method.

  But tonight, Yan Qing's subordinates are the scouts of the Song Army with the most powerful martial arts skills. They can be handy no matter in the water or in the mountains.

  Yan Qing was fully prepared, without any hesitation, he waved his hand and led his men into the darkness.

After running for about four or five miles, Yan Qing turned around and waved his hands, everyone immediately got down, Yan Qing also hid behind a big rock, staring coldly at the front, two figures appeared about a hundred steps ahead, both riding war horses , was slowly walking towards this side, and the golden sentry would not stand still. In such a cold day, if he didn't move, he would have been frozen for a long time. Even so, in the biting night wind, The two guards were still terribly cold, wrapped their feet tightly in thick sheepskin mattresses, and took out a few mouthfuls of sheep wine from time to time.

  Yan Qing saw that two patrols were gradually approaching him, he gestured to his subordinates, and everyone climbed away, leaving only Yan Qing and the two most skilled martial arts subordinates.

  They were wearing white cloaks, lying on the ground and blending with the snow on the ground, it was ugly to find even in the daytime, not to mention it was the middle of the night.

Two patrols walked past them with mutterings. At this time, Yan Qing and another subordinate jumped up almost at the same time, towards the two snow geese, and lightly landed behind the two horses. At the same time, the third His hands coughed heavily.

This coughing immediately attracted the attention of the two guards. They didn't realize that there were two more scouts from the Song army behind them. Yan Qing exchanged glances with his subordinates, and they both started to cover the guard's mouth from behind. A sharp dagger savagely wiped their necks, blood spurted out immediately, Yan Qing and his men stabbed the back of the sentry with a knife, these actions were done in one go, and in the blink of an eye, the two sentry There were two dead bodies, and there was no sound at all.

The bodies of the two patrols were covered with snow, and the two scouts put on the armor of the Golden Soldiers, mounted their horses, wrapped them in woolen mattresses, and continued to pretend to patrol, while Yan Qing led the other men and ran towards the Golden Soldiers camp. and go.

There is a watchtower outside the Jinbing camp, on which there are sentries looking back and forth. Yan Qing and his men have rich experience, they slow down, lie on the ground and slowly climb towards one of the watchtowers, which are the same as the sentries. There is one every three hundred steps. Although the sentry tower can see farther, it also has one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, it is dark under the lights. When you climb under the sentry tower, the sentry on it is basically invisible.

Yan Qing sent one of his men with the highest martial arts skills to climb up to the sentry tower, and the rest waited two hundred steps away. After about a quarter of an hour, Yan Qing saw that the figure on the sentry tower disappeared, so he immediately led his men to the tower. camp ran.

  The sentinels on the sentry tower have been killed, and the people don't use the barracks, just cut off a thick wooden stake, and drilled in one after another

  Wang Gui led his men to ambush in the woods ten miles away. At four o'clock, the enemy's camp suddenly burst into flames.

  An urgent alarm bell sounded in the barracks, Wang Gui slammed his fist on the tree trunk beside him, and praised loudly: "Nice job!"

  But now is not the time to celebrate, Wang Gui immediately ordered: "Light it up!"

A large fire was ignited several miles away from them. This was a fire that attracted the enemy troops. Under the chaos, Jin Bing would definitely be attracted by this large fire. At this time, Wang Gui was not worried about Yan Qing's situation. They could easily escape in the chaos, and now Wang Gui is more concerned about an ambush he arranged.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, hundreds of cavalry were galloping halfway from a distance, and about 500 cavalry came to check the fire situation here. As soon as Wang Gui raised his hand, 3,000 Song cavalry raised their crossbows one after another, coldly The crossbow arrows were aimed at the enemy army running in the distance, when the enemy cavalry was getting closer and passing by fifty paces away from them, Wang Gui gave an order, "Shoot!"

   There was a sound of clappers, and arrows were fired in the woods, and three thousand dense crossbow bolts shot towards the golden cavalry fifty steps away.
