Chapter 128 Surprise Attack on Puhezhou(1/2)

Two days later.

Di Qing led 20,000 troops to Puhezhou.

However, he did not attack recklessly.

Although Puhezhou is just a small town, it is a logistics transfer station for the Jin king's coalition forces.

It is also a transportation fortress by land and water.

This place must be impregnable, with numerous fortifications built.

Although these 20,000 men and horses are all elites, if they attack by force, they will lose more than they gain.

Di Qing first set up camp fifty miles away from Puhezhou, then called several of his subordinates and asked them to pretend to be ordinary people to gather information.

However.

What Di Qing didn't expect was that the situation in Pu Hezhou was very different from what he expected.

It is said that Pu Hezhou Guards is a relative of King Pingnan.

This place was initially guarded by King Jin's men.

Later, for some unknown reason, it was replaced by a relative of King Pingnan to guard it.

This person's name is Liu Ren.

It was quite diligent at first.

But later, as the army moved further and further north, they actually let themselves go.

In Puhezhou, he plundered and plundered women, and lived in debauchery all day long.

Anyway, all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were fighting with the coalition forces, and no one here could control him. Liu Ren lived the life of a Turkish emperor.

This kind of life can be both fascinating and decadent.

This is true for all those in power.

Some officers under his command also began to let themselves go.

Even some soldiers let themselves go.

The people in Puhezhou area complained endlessly, but to no avail.

Even though the King of Jin built many fortifications before, they have all become decorations now.

There were not even a few soldiers guarding the city.

"What I said..."

“There’s not even a bayonet along the way.”

“It’s really God’s help to me to have such a useless person guarding me.”

After hearing the report from his men, Di Qing immediately said, "Let's take action at midnight tonight!"

That night.

The army muzzled the horses and wrapped the horses' hooves with cotton cloth. Di Qing personally led five thousand cavalry and charged directly at the Puhezhou city wall.

Taking advantage of the darkness, when the army arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city did not notice any movement.

"superior!"

Di Qing waved his hand, and the siege team immediately threw the Flying Claw Bailian Lock, and it was firmly stuck on the city wall, and followed the rope like a vigorous swallow.

"The pretty widow last night was really nice..."

"Yeah, we two brothers can't handle it. Let's wait until the shift changes tomorrow..."

"How about we call another one and have the four of us together?"

"Hahaha, I think it works. As the saying goes, only the exhausted cows have not plowed the bad land."

"...."

Two soldiers were chatting on the city wall, with lewd expressions on their faces.

There are countless things like this in the military these days.

There are only a small number of people who can keep themselves clean.

Suddenly, the two of them felt a chill on their necks and lost consciousness.

When the two bodies fell, even the drowsy defenders in the distance did not notice any movement.

The first attack team took control of the city wall within a few moments.

Then the city gate opened.

The army entered the city.

The troops led by Di Qing descended from the mountain like fierce tigers and swept across all directions.

Most of the defenders were sleeping.

Some are still dreaming in the little widow's belly.

Take Liu Ren, for example, when he was captured by Di Qing, he was having a sweet dream with two beautiful young women in his arms.

It's still dark.

Twenty thousand troops have occupied various fortresses.

Di Qing was very excited about the mountains of food piled up in the city.

Is this the logistics warehouse of the Jin King's coalition forces?

After seizing the logistics depot and occupying the supply fortress, the Jin and King coalition forces were effectively without logistics.

When the news of Puhezhou's fall came out, it was already a day later.

This news shocked the world.

The blow to the morale of the Jin King's coalition forces is not a trivial matter.

"King Pingnan, do you know your guilt?"

"How should I deal with the garrison you sent and my hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Asshole!!!"

King Jin was so angry that he threw the bamboo slips on the table into the tent, looked at King Pingnan and shouted.

"I..."

"Prince Jin, I didn't expect Liu Ren to be so useless?"

King Pingnan looked extremely unnatural, and he was filled with anger after being insulted in public.

Most of the food in the city is produced here.

The work of guarding the food naturally needs to be done by one's own people.

But today, I have lost face greatly.

King Pingnan was also a little dissatisfied with King Jin.

"Okay, okay." King Pingxi said solemnly, "The matter has come to this, it is useless for us to say anything, we should consider how to deal with the next situation."

"Quartermaster, how much rations are there in the army?" King Jin calmed down and looked at the quartermaster in the big tent and asked.

"Your Majesty," said the quartermaster, "the rations in the camp are only enough for ten days!"

"Ten days...?" King Jin felt his blood pressure soar when he heard the news, and said in a low voice, "This news must not be known to the officers and soldiers of the three armies. Dividing one day's rations into two parts can delay twenty days...

"

King Jin quickly responded.

Originally dry, it was made thin.

Military rations are divided into two days a day.

As long as we can open up the situation within twenty days, we will be saved.

"Prince Jin, what should we do now?" King Pingxi said, "Our current plan is to attack Guanghe Mansion. As long as Guanghe Mansion is captured, everything will be easy."

King Pingnan remained silent. King Jin just reprimanded him loudly and even insulted him, which made him have many thoughts.

"No."

"The walls of Guanghe Prefecture are too tall and difficult to attack."

"And Guo Xiaogang in the city probably knows that our logistics are gone. Even if we can capture Guanghe Mansion, how can Guo Xiaogang leave us a grain of food?"

King Jin shook his head and rejected the idea directly.

Although Guanghe Prefecture was captured, it was smooth sailing.

But it is too far away from the capital.

Without the logistics supply station, military rations cannot be delivered quickly by water and land, and what awaits them will be slow death.
