Jia Kui looked at Hao Zhi and said in a deep voice: "The battle tomorrow is not big, but it is extremely important. After taking the Khitan military camp, we will have a smooth road to advance. If we cannot win, the road in the mountains will be winding and the army will not be able to move forward. I don't know how many days it will take. You lead your troops to bury explosives under the enemy's walls in the night. Before the sky is dawn, lead your troops into the camp immediately."

Hao Zhi crossed his hands and said, "Don't worry, the Khitans on the opposite side have been relaxed, and this trip will surely be successful in one fell swoop!"

Jia Kui said, "It should be like this. But be careful in this battle. If the enemy discovers it and cannot attack it unexpectedly, this battle will be difficult. The Privy Council proclaims that our army must attack Lingqiu as quickly as possible and occupy the flying fox. It is difficult to explain it if it misses the time. This time, fifty people will be ordered to accompany them with gunpowder on their backs. We must take good care of them. When we arrive under the military city, we will be buried under the city walls with careful orders."

Hao Zhi agreed one by one, looking a little eager to try.

Since Xia Tian brought his troops here, Jia Kui was ready for an attack. Although Feng Yanji, the governor of Daizhou, was incompatible with him and had enough time, Jia Kui still prepared food and grass and raised enough pack animals.

From the Pingsha Village to enter the mountains, the road was tortuous, and I don’t know how many bends there were to the top of the mountain pass. There were no big chariots on the road, and they could only be transported by shoulders and livestock. Jia Kui’s heavy weapons were all left in Daizhou, carrying only light weapons. Even these light weapons, plus food, grass and ammunition, still require thousands of camels and more than 10,000 pack horses to transport. There were more pack animals in the army than his cavalry and horses.

The Khitan had a military city in the mountains, guarding important places. However, the Khitan had always been the attacking party, not paying attention to defense, and the defense of the military city was lax. However, the terrain in this area was too bad, and even if it was defended casually, it could not be easily broken. In order to advance at the fastest speed, Jia Kui decided to send a thousand troops to touch the Khitan army city in the night and use gunpowder to blow down the city wall. The military city has been disrepair for a long time and has many weaknesses. It is not difficult to choose a breakthrough.

Seeing that the sun in the west was about to set, Jia Kui ordered the soldiers to bring the wine. He picked up a bowl and said to Hao Zhi: "Go here to take your heart. When the Lingqiu is broken, I will drink with you!"

Hao Zhi picked up the wine, thanked him, and drank it all with Jia Kui.

When Bomu set out, Hao Zhi brought his troops to the Khitan Military City, which was nearly midnight. He ordered his subordinates to hide their bodies on the mountain break. Hao Zhi looked at the military city in the valley with a solemn look. The military city was not big, and the lights were on the walls, so it was not easy to approach it.

It was not until the moon fell and the sky and the earth was dark that Hao Zhi said to the five soldiers around him: "Be careful and touch the military city. I could see clearly that on this wall, one of them had collapsed and the Khitans had not renovated it. When they got there, bury the gunpowder and retreated immediately. After a stick of incense, ignite the twist rope. Remember, you can't make any mistakes!"

The five people crossed their hands and said yes. Hao Zhi asked them to repeat it again, and then they could touch it.

On the city wall, two Khitan soldiers leaned against the female wall, drowsy. The military city was in the mountain nest, and the cold north was blocked, and it was not so cold at night. But now in winter, it was really hard to get caught when it was almost early in the morning. The defenders of the city only hoped that the sky would come soon. As for whether the Song army would come to attack, no one cared about it. For many years, the Khitans attacked the Song Dynasty. When did the Song people attack?

Five soldiers arrived at the city and touched the collapsed city walls, and quietly piled gunpowder on the ground. Although the Song army also knew that gunpowder should be buried under the city walls, but piled it under the city walls, and the service was very expensive. It was just that time was not enough. Moreover, in such a cold weather, the soil under their feet had frozen. How could they be dug? Anyway, as long as the city walls were blown down, the soldiers could cross over.

After putting down the gunpowder, the five people took dozens of steps back and lay there for a few minutes. After a stick of incense, they lit the medicine twist. The medicine twist ignited, making a "sizzling, sizzling" sound, and shining in the night. The soldiers on the city were knocking and sleeping, and no one looked out.

After a long time, the medicine twist ignited under the city wall. With a loud bang, the lanterns on the top of the city dimmed.

Hao Zhi on the hillside saw this and stood up straight, sternly said: "Kill! Those who climb first will reward you with great reward!"

A thousand Song soldiers responded loudly and rushed straight down the hillside, killing sounds shook the sky. They rushed to the side of the military city, but saw that gunpowder did not blow up the city wall. There was a gap, not big, and they could not get over the city wall.

Hao Zhi looked at it and said intimidatingly, "No one guards the city wall at this time, so climb over the wall and go in! Those who climb first will reward you, and those who rush into the city will be the most chosen to reward you! Those who are timid and retreat will be killed!" After saying that, he ordered his personal soldiers around him to take the lead in crawling on the city wall.

Seeing a few personal soldiers climbing up the city wall quickly, the morale of the Song army outside was greatly boosted, and they helped each other and climbed up the city.

Although gunpowder did not blow up the city wall, the soldiers on it were already busy. The defenders in the city were shocked by the explosion, and they didn't know what had happened for a moment, and they were in chaos. Before the defenders could react, the Song army had already crossed the city wall and entered the city.

The soldiers who had stepped down the city wall saw that no one responded to the battle, under the command of a general, shouted and rushed to the next to the city gate. The Khitan soldiers guarding the city were still sleepy and were chopped to the ground. The Song army opened the city gate, and a thousand soldiers outside rushed in, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky.

When the sun in the sky poked half of its face, the war in the military city had ended.

Hao Zhi looked around and felt a little unbelievable. Last night was actually very unsuccessful. Gunpowder did not explode the city wall, so he could only organize soldiers to pass by the wall. But he didn't expect that the Khitans were not prepared and after entering the city, he felt like they were entering a nobody's land. The city gate was successfully opened, and the army rushed in, and more than 100 defenders were quickly killed. Just like a dream, who could believe that such a major area was captured like this?

After breathing a sigh of relief, Hao Zhi said to his personal soldiers: "Go and report to Taiwei Jia, our army has captured the military city! There is no obstacle to going to Lingqiu here!"

The personal soldiers agreed and turned over and flew away.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Jia Kui held his forehead and said, "I see you, everything goes well! Several months of hard work have not been in vain!"

After saying that, he ordered the vanguard to set off immediately and head towards Lingqiu. Then there were the pack animals from the logistics department, followed by the central army, and the rear army was traveling with the remaining logistics department in the army. This trip was all mountain roads, and it was difficult to move. Even if there were no obstacles ahead, it would take several days to pass.

Jia Kui and the vanguard Zhou Xing, and the sun was close to the west mountain on the mountain. When they turned around, they saw the winding and winding around the mountains. They couldn't help but sigh: "If this kind of road cannot be captured, how can the army dare to move forward? Even if everything goes well, it will take several days to cross the mountain. If Daizhou supplies food and grass, I don't know what Feng Zhizhou will do."

Jia Kui was so anxious that he waited outside the mountain. It was not until noon that his personal soldiers arrived, saying that he had captured the military city.

After saying that, he shook his head. Feng Yanji is the son of former prime minister Feng Zheng, with a noble life experience. He has been in the north for many years and has made many military achievements. He is not an ordinary person. I don’t know how he doesn’t like him, but it is really a hidden danger.
