After thirteen days and nights of sailing, the Great Sui fleet from the north finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Jiangdu, but Jiangdu City is still dozens of miles away from the Yangtze River. The city closest to the Yangtze River is its small affiliated county, Jiangyang
county.
Jiangyang County is just a small county and has no troops stationed, but Jiangyang Cang, close to Jiangyang County, is a strategic important place for the Wei State. All the military rations and materials of the Wei army are stored in Jiangyang Cang.
Jiangyang Cang is actually a warehouse city with a circumference of about twelve miles, with tall and strong walls. There are hundreds of warehouses of all sizes, storage of hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, countless weapons and equipment, and millions of them.
Satin silk cloth.
At the beginning, Li Mi seized the supplies of Yu Wenhua and thousands of large ships transported from Jiangdu. Except for valuables such as gold, silver, and jewelry, the rest were stored in Jiangyang warehouse.
Currently, there are 5,000 troops stationed in Jiangyangcang, led by Zhang Wenqi, one of Li Mi's confidant generals. Zhang Wenqi is known as the second arrow in Wei State. His archery skills are very good, second only to the archer Wang Bodang.
He was not only skilled in archery skills, but also careful and cautious. When Li Mi left, he repeatedly told Zhang Wenqi not to be careless.
The importance of Jiangdu City is that the families of the soldiers are all in Jiangdu City, while the importance of Jiangyang City is that all the military supplies, food and grass of Li Mi are stored in the city.
As early as on the big ship, Yang Yuanqing formulated a plan to attack Jiangyangcang, and taking down Jiangyangcang became the top priority of the Sui army.
At this time, it was already dark at night. The Sui army gradually got ashore on the riverside fifteen miles east of Jiangyang City. Teams of Sui army and their war horses began to get ashore one after another.
Since the Sui army warships had been moored in the Yangtze River for a day, the soldiers and war horses had enough rest and their physical strength had gradually recovered, so the soldiers did not feel too tired when they got ashore.
Yang Yuanqing stood at the bow of the boat and looked at Jiangyang Cang City more than ten miles away. The night was deep, and there was a green belt faintly on the horizon. It was the dim light of the river reflecting the moon. However, the Cang City could not be seen.
, It was blocked by Jiangyang County, and the dark outline of the county town can be seen.
Yang Yuanqing came to Jiangnan in person not to siege cities and villages, but the siege was naturally completed by his generals.[. He came to appease the Jiangnan gentry and stabilize the Sui army's occupation of Jiangnan. In order to appease the Jiangnan gentry, Yang Guang was enough.
It took ten years to lay a solid foundation for him to appease the South today.
The chief general responsible for attacking Jiangyangcang tonight is General Wang Junkuo. He has led 10,000 cavalry and slowly headed towards Jiangyangcang. Ten thousand cavalry is ready. As long as news comes from Jiangyangcang, the cavalry will directly kill him.
Enter the city of Cang.
.........
There are two city gates in Jiangyang City, one Lucheng Gate and one Water Gate. The iron fence as thick as an arm on the water gate has been lowered, and the suspension bridge of the Lumen Gate has been pulled up, and the moat surrounds the Cangcheng. Patrol soldiers are constantly on the top of the city.
Survey back and forth.
In a forest about a hundred steps away from Cangcheng, more than 300 Sui army scouts had sneaked into the forest. These more than 300 scouts were selected from nearly 100,000 Sui army soldiers. They were all skilled in martial arts, from
Leadered by General Shen Guang, Zuo Xiaogu.
Shen Guang has been silent over the years, or he has fewer opportunities to appear in various battles, which does not mean that he has been neglected by Yang Yuanqing. On the contrary, he was promoted to General Zuotun Guard and did not fall behind others at all.
It was mainly because Shen Guang was transferred to the logistics office and was responsible for the training of scout soldiers. Almost all scouts in the Sui Dynasty underwent his rigorous training.
This time he attacked Jiangnan. Because Chen Guang himself was from Jiangnan and had been in Jiangdu for a while, he also went into battle this time.
Chen Guang is known as the Flying Fairy, and his skills in the Hundred Plays are already superb. Hundred Plays are today's acrobatic skills. Climbing the Wall and Over the City is his specialty. Yang Yuanqing handed over the important task of night attacking the pioneer to him.
Shen Guang crawled in the grass, staring at the patrol soldiers on the top of the city. He observed for almost half an hour and had gradually touched the rules of patrol soldiers. A soldier pointed to the water city and whispered: "General, you can get from the water gate." Hit down below.”
Chen Guang shook his head. He knew the structure of the Jiangdu City Water Gate iron fence. There were barbs under the fence, and the spear tip was straight up to the bluestone slab at the bottom. There was only one inch of space at the bottom, so he couldn't get through it. It must be the same here.
"It's okay, we'll climb up the wall."
Seeing that the patrol at the city had already left, he waved to the four most capable subordinates, "Come with me!"
The five people jumped out and ran towards the city wall with two wooden boards. The other soldiers also took the opportunity to run out. When they were more than thirty steps away from the city wall, three hundred soldiers quickly lay on the ground, dressed in black, They were not seen on the top of the city.
The moat was two meters wide, and you could go directly with a wooden board. Chen Guang led four or five people to the base of the wall. At this time, a team of ten sentries from the city came over again, and Chen Guang and several subordinates were pressing him. The wall and stood, holding their breath.
They waited for a while, and when the sentry turned around, several people untied the rope from their waists, made a stitch, and threw it gently, the rope flew to the head of the city nearly three meters high, and accurately put it on the battlement. Chen Guang jumped up and climbed up. This was his best skill. His movements were extremely fast and faster than those of apes. The other people were obviously slower than him, but they could barely keep up.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Guang climbed up to the top of the city. He hid behind the battlements, hooked the arrows on the battlements with one hand, and untied the rope to prevent the patrol soldiers from seeing the ropes on the battlements when they came back.
Several other soldiers also did the same. Each of them hid behind a battlement and could clearly see them from below, but they were not visible on the top of the city.
At this time, the ten patrol soldiers came back. They walked around the city wall and found nothing unusual. Someone yawned and scolded in a low voice: "Walking back and forth, I feel like a donkey pulling a mill, tired. It's dead, I'm going to find a place to sleep."
"Don't be stupid. General Zhang will come to inspect later. He discovered that being whipped is a trivial matter, and he might even lose his head."
Everyone had no choice but to continue patrolling. At this time, Chen Guang gave a look at the other people. Everyone understood, hooked the battlements' arrows with one hand, and the other took out three flying knives from the skin. The tip is painted with poisonous 'papamu', and the throat is covered with blood, and he can't even scream. Chen Guang and the other four are good at flying knives. They have trained hard and hit every shot within twenty steps.
The two flying knives bite the mouth, holding another flying knives in their hands, and aimed at their respective targets. In order, Chen Guang killed the first person, and the other four people each killed one target.
Chen Guang nodded to the four people, and the five of them took action together. Five cold lights flashed, and five flying knives emerged from their hands at the same time.
The patrol team turned around and faced them sideways. There was a muffled groan. The five people behind fell to the ground at the same time. Chen Guang and the others did not wait for the five people in front to react, and five more flying knives came. , Everything happened in an instant, and the ten patrols were killed almost at the same time.
Five Sui army scouts jumped out from behind the battlements. They moved quickly, peeling off the clothes of ten patrol soldiers, taking off their waist cards, and throwing the bodies down the city walls. The five of them put on Wei army uniforms. , became a patrol.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the city was very quiet. There were 200 patrol sentries on the city wall, divided into twenty teams, each responsible for a section of the city wall. The city wall occupied by Chen Guang and several others was a section between the south city and the east city, about half a year. At this time, three hundred Sui Dynasty scouts climbed the ropes and soon, all three hundred scouts went to the city.
They divided into two groups, one by one, snatching the suspension bridge winch, and the other side occupied the city gate under the leadership of Shen Guang. One hundred and fifty scouts held battle knives and shields in their hands, followed Shen Guang and ran to the city gate. Then I heard someone shouting: "Who is it?"
"Come to change the job, you guys go back to sleep!"
Chen Guang rushed forward, and before the other party could react, a knife inserted into his chest, and a long scream sounded in the night sky. At this time, screams on the top of the city were also heard one after another, and a harsh sounded beside the city tower. The jing bell sounds, 'dow! ! '
The jing bell rang throughout the city, and it also spread along the night wind for several miles away. Three miles away, Wang Junguo led 20,000 cavalry to wait for a long time. He heard the jing's news, raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword high, and shouted loudly. : "Brothers, let's make contributions tonight, kill me!"
Twenty thousand cavalrymen started, and the sound of horse hooves was like muffled thunder, shaking the earth, covering the sky and killing towards Cangcheng...
At this time, the scout of the Sui army had occupied the city tower, the suspension bridge was creaked and a pile of fires were lit to show the Sui army in the distance.
But there was still a fierce battle at the city gate. There were only more than 100 defenders at the city gate, and the number was not large. But at this time, Jiangyangcang guard Zhang Wenqi led more than 300 personal soldiers to inspect the city gate.
When Zhang Wenqi saw that the Sui army had actually sneaked into the city, he was furious and ordered his personal soldiers to fight with the Sui army scouts to protect the city gate. The two sides started a bloody battle to occupy the city gate and defend the city gate at the city gate.
Zhang Wenqi's personal soldiers instigated war horses and rushed forward with spears in their hands, while the Sui army scouts held shields and swords in their hands blocked the city gate. Some of them were fighting against the defenders in the city gate, while others died. Withstand Zhang Wenqi and his three hundred personal soldiers, they kept sprinting.
Time passed little by little, both sides were red in their eyes, and people kept screaming and falling to the ground, especially Wei general Zhang Wenqi was very skilled in archery skills. He cast cold arrows behind him. Every time he was shot, a Sui army scout would inevitably be hit by an arrow. On the contrary, every arrow penetrated the throat of the Sui army scouts.
Chen Guang was furious. These scouts taught themselves that they were his disciples, who died under the cold arrow. He roared and jumped onto the horse of a Wei cavalry. The sword swung over and the cavalry's head flew up. He took off the spear, stood on the war horse, waved his arms hard, and the spear rushed towards Zhang Wenqi like lightning.
Zhang Wenqi was raising an arrow and aimed at a Sui army scout on the city. The spear suddenly stabbed, and he couldn't dodge. The spear entered his throat, and the spear tip penetrated from the back of his neck. The huge impact force made him He rose into the air and fell heavily to the ground, and his spear nailed him to death.
At this time, the city gate finally opened, and the cavalry outside the city rushed into the city like a surging rage. The Sui cavalry waved their spears and swords, shouting loudly, guarding Cangcheng, who had just rushed to the streets. The army rushed away.
