Chapter five hundred and forty fifth turning point
Yang Rui's old subordinate and fellow countryman is called Wang Xin. He is young and is a deputy commander. He has 300 people under his command. However, these 300 people are not Yang Rui's old subordinates. Most of them are puppet Qi troops who came from Luoyang.
Although Wang Xin was a little unhappy that Yang Rui had brought one more person, he did not refuse in the end and incorporated Yang Rui and Tang Qian into his army and became his direct subordinates.
At the fourth watch, the patrols changed defenses, and Wang Xin led his men back to the camp to rest. He arranged a separate tent for Yang Rui and Tang Qian.
After taking a moment, Wang Xin found Yang Rui aside and whispered: "I know that brother wants to deal with the grain and grass, but let me tell you, the grain and grass warehouse is heavily guarded and you can't get in. And if you are discovered, I will kill you without mercy.
Please advise my brother not to take this risk?"
Yang Rui smiled and said, "What if I burn down the military tent?"
Wang Xin shook his head, "Unless hundreds of people are burning together, it will be enough. One or two people are useless. Guan Shigu's camp is divided into grids. You can only burn at most thirty tents in one grid. Now,
You will be shot dead by the patrolling army. Brother, listen to me and don’t be reckless."
"But burning the food and grass is my task, I have to do it, and I am willing to be killed."
Wang Xin sighed, "Brother has only been lurking in the Song camp for a year, why did he start working for the Song army?"
"I'm not working for the Song army, I'm working for Chen Qing. Dear brother, Chen Qing is the general of the Song Dynasty who can really drive away the Tartars. The country and the family hate each other, so I put all my hopes on him."
Wang Xin was silent for a while, then took out his badge and handed it to Yang Rui, "Except for patrol soldiers, only deputy commanders and above can walk in the camp at night. If you meet patrol soldiers, show them your badge and they won't
Sorry, the command for the second half of the night is that the decisive battle is coming, I wish you good luck!"
"Doesn't this betray you?"
Wang Xin raised his waist badge and said with a smile: "It doesn't have my name on it, nor does it have a specific battalion number. Just the words deputy commander can't betray me. You can just make up a military camp number when the time comes."
Yang Rui took the badge and returned to the tent. Seeing Tang Qian studying the map of the military camp, he handed him the military badge, "This is what Wang Xin gave us. With it, we can walk in the military camp at night. The command is that the decisive battle is coming."
.”
Tang Qian looked at his badge and suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's almost five o'clock!"
"I'm already familiar with the road. If you go out from here and walk northwest, you'll reach the material warehouse camp within one mile. Will you come and cover me then?"
Yang Rui shook his head, "My martial arts and archery skills are better than yours. If I can escape, you may not. You must be the one to cover me. We agreed."
Tang Qian nodded silently, and Yang Rui carried a ten kilograms of kerosene gourd on his back, and a bag of twenty short torches, "Let's go!"
Tang Qian also picked up his bow, arrows and saber, and the two of them left the tent and ran towards the northwest...
Wang Xin stood at the door of the tent and watched the two people running away. He sighed softly and said to himself: "The hatred of the country and the family, the hatred of my parents and my wife, do I really have a chance?"
The warehouse camp of the puppet Qi army is located in the middle of the camp and consists of hundreds of warehouse tents. There are 100,000 stones of grain and 200,000 stones of fodder piled inside, as well as a large number of siege weapons and even 20 nest vehicles.
The parts have not yet been assembled, but the wide moat in Chengji County makes Chao Cha temporarily useless unless the puppet Qi army fills in a section of the moat.
But the situation has developed to this point, and the puppet Qi army no longer has the confidence to use the Chao Chariot. The opponent has heavy trebuchets that can strike accurately. I am afraid that the Chao Chariot will be completely destroyed without even getting close to the moat.
Cangying has a fence and a deep ditch about ten feet wide, which is really difficult to cross.
Tang Qian and Yang Rui appeared in front of the gate of the canang camp due north. They walked around and found that it was heavily guarded. There were many hidden sentries and patrolling soldiers inside. They would be discovered as long as they climbed over the camp fence.
At this time, they suddenly discovered that there was a loophole in front of the most heavily guarded camp. There were dozens of soldiers standing in front of the camp gate, but there were no hidden sentries on both sides. This was the darkness under the lamp. The place that was supposed to be the tightest was often the weakest.
place.
The two of them exchanged a tacit wink, and Yang Rui sprinted forward and jumped into the ditch. He now needed Tang Qian's support and cooperation.
At this time, Tang Qian swaggered towards the camp gate. When more than twenty defenders saw him, they shouted: "Stop, command!"
"The decisive battle is coming!"
There was no problem with the password, so the defender asked again: "Who are you?"
"I am the deputy commander of the 7th Battalion of the Third Army. This is my belt!"
Tang Qian threw the badge over. The leading soldier picked it up and looked at it. It was the deputy commander's badge. He asked with a gentler expression, "What's the matter?"
"I would like to borrow a grain bucket to weigh the grain."
"You should borrow grain buckets from the Logistics Sima. We don't have any here. Moreover, this is a warehouse area. You are not allowed to go near it. If you don't want to die, leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, the soldier threw the badge back to him.
Everyone's attention was attracted to Tang Qian, but they did not see that in the darkness a dozen steps away from them, a black figure gently climbed up the camp fence, jumped into the camp, and disappeared.
.
When Tang Qian saw that Yang Rui had entered the warehouse, he picked up his waist badge and said with a smile, "I know, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
He slowly backed away, turned around and walked away, then returned to the northwest corner. They had agreed before that Yang Rui would break out from here and Tang Qian needed to cover him.
Tang Qian took off his bow and arrow and hid in the darkness. Even if the patrol passed by him, he might not be able to see him.
Yang Rui got Tang Qian's cover and sneaked into the warehouse camp extremely quickly. There were strict patrols and hidden sentries outside the warehouse camp, but there were no patrol soldiers or hidden sentries inside the warehouse camp. This was also to prevent accidents.
After all, there is also a large amount of copper coins stored in the warehouse camp, which are the soldiers' military salary.
Yang Rui rushed between the large tents, looking for his target. His target was the hay tent.
The warehouse tent is different from the soldiers' sleeping tents. The warehouse tent is very large. Basically, a large tent covers an area of two or three acres. At this time, Yang Rui saw hay on the ground. He lifted up the tent and got in from underneath. Sure enough, here
It's a big tent for fodder, with stacks of hay piled high like a mountain.
Yang Rui was not in a hurry to light a fire. He searched around and found a forage tent closest to the grain warehouse tent. After all, his goal was not forage, but grain.
He took off the gourd from his back and sprinkled the gourd full of kerosene on the forage. Then he lit a torch with a huozi and threw the torch on the kerosene, and the flame spread instantly.
He quickly left the big tent and ran to more than a dozen large straw tents, throwing a burning torch into each tent.
At this time, the fire inside the first warehouse tent was blazing, flames soared into the sky, and the fire also ignited the warehouse tent.
'Dang! Dang! Dang!'
The alarm bell rang in the distance and resounded throughout the military camp. The soldiers were alerted and ran out of the tent.
Guan Shigu just got up. He heard the siren and hurried out of the tent. He saw the billowing smoke in the warehouse area. He was shocked and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army will dismantle the tent!"
If the fire is too strong, the entire military camp will be affected, and the soldiers will become a mess and dismantle the tents one after another.
The fire in the warehouse is getting bigger and bigger, and countless soldiers are carrying peripheral materials, mainly armor, bows and arrows, copper coins, copper coins and other materials. The siege weapons are too heavy and there is little significance in rescuing them.
Yang Rui carried a bundle of spears and ran out among the rescue team. He suddenly saw Tang Qian running in to put out the fire. Yang Rui grabbed him, handed the spears to him, and leaned over to pick it up.
With a box of arrows, the two of them ran towards the camp together.
All the big tents were dismantled, and a hundred thousand people were confused. Two more people appeared out of nowhere. Who would know?
Chen Qing stood on the top of the city and looked at the blazing fire of the camp in the distance. He was really happy. The scouts had successfully burned down the enemy's warehouse. Without food, the enemy would retreat tomorrow. More importantly, there would be no food.
, will be a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.
The top priority now is to close the door and beat the dogs. I wonder if Liu Qiong can recapture the Weishui military city?
"Do you think the Weishui Military City can be taken?" Yang Zaixing asked worriedly.
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "That is the military city we built ourselves. Why can't we take it? Besides, 300 small trebuchets and a thousand Huohuan soldiers were given to Liu Qiong. There is no reason why he can't take it."
"I still hope that I can lead 10,000 cavalry to take the first step."
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "This suggestion is okay, but you lead 10,000 cavalry to leave first not for the Weishui military city, but to cooperate with me to attack the puppet Qi army from east to west. Do you understand?"
"I understand the humble position!"
Yang Zaixing was really excited. He immediately went down to the city and ordered 10,000 cavalry. He opened the west city gate and ran out, taking a detour to the east!
