Chapter 746 Major Events (Part 2)

At the first update, ten black shadows had already quietly touched the city. The leader stood under the city wall, holding a roll of rope in his hand, looking up at the top of the city coldly. The cry of an owl came from the city. This was a signal. He put a large package on the ground on his back, swung his hand, and threw a roll of rope up. The trap in front of the rope accurately surrounded the battlements. The soldiers pulled the rope, jumped up, and climbed up like a monkey. Other soldiers followed the example of climbing the city.

On the top of the city, Yan Qing pulled ten Song soldiers with full firearms to the city. This was a plan that had been deployed in advance. Yan Qing first entered the city to respond and then sent the firearms to the city.

The leader of the upper city was Yan Qing's deputy general Yang Guang. He whispered: "How is the situation?"

Yan Qing shook his head, "The situation is not very good. There are soldiers guarding the city bridge and a iron gate is built, locked with a big lock!"

Yang Guang looked at the city bridge in the distance and it was a section of the city wall connecting the county town and Cangcheng. It was about 350 steps long. The city wall was three zhang high and less than one zhang wide. It was relatively narrow. There was a pavilion barrier in the middle. The problem now was that an iron gate was built inside the pavilion barrier, and dozens of soldiers were guarding it on the top of the city, which was difficult to get through.

"What should I do?" Yang Guang was also a little anxious.

I made an appointment to set the fire at the second update. Now I can’t even pass through the Chengqiao, so how can I set the fire?

Yan Qing flipped through the firearms brought by Yang Guang, including turbulent oil sacs, iron fire thunder, fire crows, rockets, and a soldier also carried a thunderclap. Yan Qing took out the fire crow, "If it really doesn't work, use it to ignite the fire."

"But there are warehouses in Liyang warehouses, how can I ignite them?" Yang Guang said anxiously.

Yan Qing smiled and said, "I caught two prisoners of war. They said that because there is too much forage, even the open air is full. If we launch ten fire crows, one of them may be able to ignite the forage. Of course, the premise is that there is no way."

"Then is there any way Brother Yan?"

Yan Qing nodded, "I'll try it."

Yan Qing took off his armor and was wearing a black nightclub. He brought three fire sticks, carried a bag of turmeric oil bags, took a dagger and a small crossbow, and carried a cloth bag. There was a roll of thin rope in the cloth bag. After cleaning up, Yan Qing ran towards the city bridge in the distance.

In the woods about two miles north of the county town, three thousand cavalrymen were focused on looking at the distant county town under the leadership of Wang Gui and Niu Gao.

According to the information they received, there were two thousand gold soldiers in Liyang County, of which about two hundred Jurchens were about two hundred, and the other 1,800 were Han army. This army was just a side dish to them. What interested Wang Gui was not Liyang County, but Liyang Cang. There were actually one million tents of forage in Liyang Cang, but there were 10,000 troops guarding Liyang Cang, and his army could not succeed, so Wang Gui thought of Liyang County.

It has been half a month since Wang Gui entered Hebei. In the past half a month, they have captured ten counties and annihilated 15,000 Jin soldiers, including 2,000 Jurchen Jin soldiers, and the others are Han soldiers. Not only that, they attacked the grain transport team three times, which has had a great impact on Hebei West Road.

However, Wang Gui knew in his heart that the burning of the temporary granary on the south bank of the Yellow River did not have much impact on the Jin soldiers besieging the capital, let alone harassing the grain delivery team, which could not affect the main force of the Jin soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wang Gui was determined to do something big, but after thinking about it, he finally set his sights on Li Yang Cang. Although there was no food in Li Yang Cang and it was all forage, Wang Gui was as clear as a mirror. If he could succeed this time, he would definitely shake the main force of the Jin soldiers again.

"How much time is left?" Wang Gui asked in a low voice.

"A quarter of an hour left!"

Wang Gui's eyes were staring at Liyang Cang City. If Cang City caught fire, the consequence would be that the whole city would be burned into ashes. The soldiers in the city would either escape or die in the sea of ​​fire. Wang Gui's target was the escaped Jin soldiers. If he could annihilate more than 10,000 Jin soldiers, Wang Gui could also earn a title for his grandfather.

The most critical link here is whether Yan Qing can ignite the fire in Li Yang Cang. There is only a quarter of an hour left. Wang Gui silently looks forward to it.

The city bridge is about 300 steps long and is separated in two by a pavilion barrier in the middle. The half close to the county town is not defended by any soldiers and is empty, while the half close to the Cangcheng is guarded by dozens of soldiers, and the guard is very tight.

At this time, a black shadow was moving quickly against the city wall. Yan Qing was climbing the city from the middle of the city bridge. He jumped from one battlement to another, and his body was close to the outside of the battlement. Dozens of Jin soldiers were not patrolling back and forth on the city bridge, but leaning against the wall to rest and nap, or chatting in a low voice, wrapping the blanket tightly, drinking two sips of spirits from time to time to resist the cold at night.

Although it is currently in the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, a Song cavalry of unknown origin provoked everywhere on the West Road of Hebei, causing panic among the soldiers in various counties in Hebei, it is obvious that Li Yangcang is not listed here, with 12,000 defenders, and no one dares to come and solve the tiger beards of Li Yangcang. It is this confidence that invisibly relaxes the defense at night at the city.

Yan Qing had already reached the end of the city bridge. He hid in the dark corner where the city bridge and the city wall were in the intersection, staring at the situation on the city wall. There were no defenders in this section, only two Jin soldiers, and the two Jin soldiers were sitting opposite him. One seemed to be asleep, and the other was looking up at the night sky, muttering something in his mouth, wondering what he was thinking?

Yan Qing raised his short crossbow and gently pulled the hanging knife. "Swoosh!" A short poison-hardening arrow shot out, hitting the throat of the soldier's head. This arrow accurately cut off the soldier's trachea. He groaned but did not make a sound.

But beyond Yan Qing's surprise, the severe pain caused the soldier to wave his hand and wake up the sleeping soldier next to him with one punch.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Yan Qing jumped up and rushed towards the soldier. Before the soldier could fully wake up, a dagger penetrated into the soldier's chest, and the soldier let out a shrill scream.

"Oops!"

Yan Qing shouted inwardly and stabbed the soldier to death with another knife. As soon as he stood up, a shout came from not far behind him, and a group of patrol soldiers rushed towards him.

The leader of the leader waved his hand and a spear shot towards him like lightning. Yan Qing jumped up and jumped onto the battlements, avoiding the fatal blow. The spear shot the soldier who had not yet died and was nailed to the top of the city.

Yan Qing turned around and saw that it was dark like a pile of soil below. He jumped down without hesitation. The pile of soil below was very small. Yan Qing landed accurately on the "pile of soil". His body bounced heavily, and the pile of soil overturned, overturning him to the ground.

It was indeed the forage. He landed on a pile of forage. Before he could get up, an arrow passed by his ear and nailed to the ground. Yan Qing shuddered, jumped up, and ran towards the depths of the darkness. At this time, a rapid alarm sounded from the top of the city, "Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!" The alarm sounded through the night and alarmed more than 10,000 defenders in the entire city.

At this time, Yan Qing had already hid deep in the pile of forage. He took off the tinder oil skin, sprayed out all the tinder oil, and poured it on a piece of forage. Although there was no need to use tinder oil for the forage, the function of the tinder oil was to ensure that the flames burned rapidly at the beginning, so that the enemy could not extinguish the fire.

Yan Qing then blew a fire stick and threw it on the forage. "Boom!" A flame ignited and spread rapidly around. This was the credit of the tinder oil, which quickly burned the forage within several feet of the time.

When the fire burned to the point where it could no longer be extinguished, Yan Qing turned around and fled, hiding in a secret place not far from the gate. He was waiting for the enemy to become completely in chaos, which was his chance to escape in the chaos.

The soldiers in Cangcheng were in chaos, and countless soldiers were carrying basins to draw water from the well and poured water on the burning haystacks, but it was meaningless. The fire had swept over the forage within a radius of hundreds of feet. Huge flames rose into the air, and the flames rolled towards the dark night sky. Rolling smoke filled the inside of Cangcheng, and the soldiers began to throw the bucket and flee.

When the fire was on the rise, Yang Guang placed three thunders on the city bridge and quickly lit the lead. He led the soldiers to quickly retreat into the city. At this time, the city wall was full of soldiers running to see the fire, but most of the soldiers gathered on both sides of the north city tower, one mile away from the city bridge. When Yang Guang led his men to the city, no one noticed their abnormality.

Just as Yang Guang and his party ran down the city, they heard a shocking explosion, followed by two violent explosions. The entire city seemed to be shaking. The soldiers on the city were so scared that they covered their ears and lay on the ground. After a long time, when they slowly lifted up, they found that half of the city bridge had disappeared and was completely blown up by three thunders. After a while, the other half of the city bridge collapsed.

At this time, the fire had swept half of Cangcheng. The city gate was opened, and countless Jin soldiers flocked to escape. Yan Qing was mixed with the first group of people and escaped, but he knew very well what he would encounter when he came out. Yan Qing did not cross the suspension bridge, but jumped down the moat and ran westward on the ice.

At this moment, a sound of clappers sounded, and dense arrows shot towards the Jin soldiers running out. Most of the Jin soldiers were not wearing armor and had no defense ability. They were all shot into arrows and fell to the ground with screams.

Wang Gui yelled, "Clog the city gate and kill me!"
