Chapter 49 Night Attack

"Lord, Dian Wei is here!" At midnight, a family general raised his waist and climbed over the wall, came to Ye Zhao, and woke Ye Zhao who was closing his eyes to rest.

"Dian Wei, what's the situation?" Ye Zhao opened his eyes and looked at Dian Wei.

"There are only one hundred people." Dian Wei bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "When we arrived at the county government, the county government had already turned into ashes. We signaled Brother Liu to come and report the message, saying that the lord had broken through, otherwise, Lao Dian really didn't know what to do."

"Are there more than a hundred people? Are there any people carrying bows and crossbows?" Ye Zhao asked.

"The bows and crossbows are all ready, but the arrow clusters cannot carry too many, there are only sixty capsule arrows." Dian Wei nodded.

"It's almost done. Give all the arrow bags to Fang Yue, Guan Hai and Meng Hu, bring the county soldiers you brought in, and follow me." Ye Zhao stood up, looked at the sky, turned his head to look at Fang Yue and said, "You can go first, follow the plan."

"Here!" Fang Yue and the other two bowed and quickly invited the county soldiers brought by Dian Wei to the arrow bag, and then divided into three teams and left quickly in the direction arranged by Ye Zhao.

"Lord, where are we?" Dian Wei touched his head and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "There are all these Taiping Sect thieves in this city now, and it's just dark, so we can only touch this place."

"Lord, we are short of troops now, so it's better to break through first. After leaving the city, we will regroup and fight again. With the lord's ability, why worry about not being able to come back?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao worriedly, thinking that what Ye Zhao did was too dangerous. Even with the county soldiers brought by Dian Wei, Ye Zhao's hands were less than 300 soldiers. With these few people, what can he do even if he conquers the warehouse? Can he defend it?

"I have decided, there is no need to say much." Ye Zhao took out a short sword from his arms, came to Xin'er, groped on Xiner's cheeks, and whispered: "Do you regret it?"

"Xin'er doesn't regret it." Xin'er shook her head and whispered.

"If the war is not going well..." Ye Zhao handed the short sword in his hand to Xin'er, took a deep breath and said, "If there is a next life, Zhao will definitely not let you down!"

"Yes." Xin'er took the short sword and hugged it tightly in her arms.

Dian Wei, Qiu Chi and others looked at the woman holding a short sword under the night, and suddenly felt an inexplicable depression in their hearts. The white-headed tiger crawled beside Dian Wei's legs, as if feeling the uncomfortable atmosphere, and opened its mouth and roared.

"Lord, why bother..." Qiu Chi opened his mouth and looked at Ye Zhao, not knowing what to say.

"If you can't deal with these mobs, it means that my life is nothing more than that!" Ye Zhao slowly pulled out his sword, looked at the county soldiers coming in, and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, those false words will not be mentioned. The wealth of our soldiers has always been obtained immediately. Zhao swears to the heaven that in a battle today, if we can win by chance, and when the Suiyang is pacified, those who survive will be rewarded with ten acres of fertile land. If Zhao has a breath, I will raise you. If you have children, Zhao will protect his wealth. This vow can be seen by heaven and earth. If you violate this vow, ghosts and gods will kill them together!"

"We are willing to follow the envoy!" The soldiers of the county handed over. Ye Zhao was already the acting chief lieutenant and had the right to command them. Now he is giving a heavy reward. No one is unwilling to do so. In this era, human beings fear ghosts and gods and trust oaths very much.

Ye Zhao left Zhang Yue and ten county soldiers to take care of Xin'er and the others. If there was no news about them before tomorrow, he would wait for an opportunity to escape from the city and find a way to return to Huai County. As for whether it would be successful, Ye Zhao could no longer take care of that much.

After the arrangement was made, Ye Zhao took Dian Wei and 120 county soldiers toward the granary.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the Taiping Cult was in a hurry. At least in Suiyang, it was almost March. But at the third o'clock in the morning, the air in the city was still cold and numb. The person responsible for guarding the warehouse was Liang Fa's friend Lu Liang. The two of them joined Zhang Jiao's sect at the same time. Liang Fa was valued by Zhang Jiao and relied on the side of Qu Shuai. As Liang Fa's friend, Lu Liang was the leader of the Liang Kingdom Taiping Cult, who was second only to Liang Fa's status in the Liang Kingdom Taiping Cult, and was quite trusted by Liang Fa and the important task of guarding the granary was handed over to Lu Liang. However, the elite Taiping Cult in the Liang Kingdom area were brought by Liang Fa and searched for Ye Zhao all over the city.

Although there are thousands of people in Luliang, they are all composed of ordinary Taiping church members, so discipline is naturally impossible. As late as the night, they all look for places to avoid the cold. From the outside, there are only scattered fires in the entire granary area.

Guan Hai, Fang Yue and Meng Hu did not act at the same time, but agreed that one party would be angry and the other party would take action again. Under the dark night, a cluster of fire lights burned in the north of the granary. Then came a gong and countless shouts of killing, awakening the Taiping Church members who were responsible for guarding the granary.

In the night, I couldn't see how many people were. Looking at the corner tower of the granary, I saw fires soaring into the sky, and figures kept appearing in the fire. For a moment, I couldn't see how many enemies there were.

"Enemy attack!" With a shrill roar, a Taiping scholar woke up from his sleep, and ran out of all corners one by one. As soon as the gathering was completed, he heard the roar of breaking through the air and the sound of death falling from the sky. More than a dozen Taiping scholars who had not had time to react were screaming in a pool of blood.

Some of them were directly hit by arrow clusters that broke through the air and died, which was lucky, but more were shot on the thighs and arms, and other places that were not fatal. Most of these Taiping people were composed of honest people. They had never experienced such things. For a moment, shrill screams and shouts sounded, and the rain of arrows that broke through the air fell one after another, causing the Taiping people who had no morale to be confused in an instant. For a moment, some wanted to escape, and some wanted to climb the wall to defend the enemy, and they were in chaos.

Before this ended, a fire appeared in the west, followed by the south. For a moment, it seemed as if the entire granary was surrounded. These Taiping scholars, who had no morale, seemed to be surrounded, and they could not care about any orders and responsibilities. Before the enemy approached, the entire formation was already in chaos, and they rushed to the only east without the fire.

When Lu Liang was awakened from his sleep, the situation of defeat was already established. He yelled desperately that there could not be a large number of government troops in the city, but the believers who were already panicked could not hear this. After Lu Liang killed several Taiping scholars one after another, he was swept to the east by a crowd.
