Chapter seven hundred and twenty fourth snow attack

The Jin soldiers used war to support the war, and did not carry food, supplies, and all logistics supplies were plundered. Therefore, the Jin soldiers liked to use blitzkrieg to seize cities as quickly as possible, that is, to occupy the granary. This is also one of the reasons why the Jin soldiers burned and killed and robbed after entering Hebei. They needed a large amount of food, grass, livestock and various materials to ensure the logistics supply of the army.

This time, when the Jin soldiers attacked the capital of the Song Dynasty, the logistics area was placed in Daming City, and 20,000 heavy troops were stationed. However, Daming Prefecture was still hundreds of miles away from Kaifeng Prefecture, so the Jin soldiers built a temporary transit warehouse at Baima Ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, and sent 3,000 soldiers to guard it. The food and supplies transported from Daming Prefecture were temporarily placed in this temporary warehouse, and then transported to Kaifeng Prefecture by a special grain transport team.

Of course, the Jin soldiers did not have any extra army to transport grain and do coolies. All the food and coolies were forced to transport grain and strong people from various prefectures and counties in Hebei. There were a population of 100,000. These 100,000 young men became the logistics support team of the Jin soldiers.

On the night when the Jin soldiers arrived in Tokyo Bianliang, a Song cavalry appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River. This cavalry was the cavalry sent by Li Yanqing to intercept the Jin soldiers' vanguard. He was led by Wang Gui and Niu Gao. Li Yanqing had a deeper meaning, which was to place a highly mobile army on the periphery to harass the enemy at any time. Even if the enemy could not be forced to withdraw, the cost of the enemy's siege was increased.

At this time, Wang Gui and his dozen subordinates looked at the military camp covering an area of ​​nearly 1,000 acres in a forest ten miles away from the temporary Jin army warehouse. Of course, the so-called warehouse is actually a large tent, which is built quickly and withdrawn quickly. This is called a temporary warehouse.

However, the Jin soldiers were extremely strict in their guards. Like other nomadic peoples, the Jin soldiers were not good at building walls. They just surrounded the camp bars and dug a trench. In addition, the Jin soldiers also sent hundreds of outer patrols. Within ten miles, no one could get close to the temporary warehouse. This was also the reason why Wang Gui observed the enemy warehouse ten miles away.

Wang Gui observed for a long time and said to Yan Qing beside him: "Brother Yan, what do you think?"

Yan Qing also received the order from Li Yanqing to follow Wang Gui. He is currently becoming Wang Gui's left and right deputy generals with Niu Gao. Yan Qing smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. There are not many Jin people defending troops. Gui Ge directly led his army to attack and burned the enemy's warehouse in one go. Isn't that enough!"

Wang Gui narrowed his eyes and looked at the military camp for a while, shook his head and said, "The governor will not let me expose my strength too early. This time I will have to use skill to steal the camp."

Yan Qing curled his lips secretly. Don’t you understand what to throw the matter to him? Although Yan Qing’s curling gesture was very slight, Wang Gui still saw it. Wang Gui immediately said angrily: “What are you doing when you don’t want to do it? Just say it now!”

Yan Qing was so scared that she trembled and said with a smile: "How dare you not do what Brother Gui ordered? I'll prepare it and report good news to my brother before dawn."

Wang Gui suddenly turned angry and patted Yan Qing on the shoulder, "After the matter is done, I will give you two merits!"

"Brother Gui, isn't it the first achievement?" Yan Qing was a little confused.

"Of course I should belong to me. I, Wang Gui, have the right command!" Wang Gui couldn't help laughing.

Yan Qing was a little stunned. He had never seen such a shameless boss before. He couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Brother Gui, you are too unkind! I'll work hard, but the first contribution will be yours."

"I'll report it to the governor based on the actual situation and let the governor decide, but I guess half of us are one of us, what do you think?"

Yan Qing smiled bitterly, "Don't panic and settle the accounts first. I'll talk about it when I finish this vote. Maybe my life will be lost here this time."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and work."

The two turned their horses and rushed into the woods with their subordinates, and soon disappeared deeper into the woods.

Time passed little by little. At the third update, Yan Qing and more than 20 martial arts subordinates appeared in the forest before. He and Wang Gui had observed for a long time and roughly understood the rules of the enemy's peripheral patrols. The peripheral patrols were also fixed, with two Jin cavalry at about 300 steps each.

This is also the experience of the Jin people's patrols. If the patrols are too close, they will waste manpower. If they are too far apart, they will easily be missed by the enemy. A distance of 300 steps is not close or far. As long as one patrol sounds, other patrols can be heard immediately. Unless the other party's martial arts skills are particularly strong, it will be difficult to pass the peripheral patrol level. This is indeed an effective method.

But tonight, under Yan Qing, the subordinates led by him were the most powerful Song army scouts, who were able to handle it in the water or in the mountains and forests.

Yan Qing was ready, and without any hesitation, he waved his hand and ran towards the darkness with his subordinates.

After about four or five miles, Yan Qing turned around and waved his hand. Everyone immediately lay down. Yan Qing hid behind a big rock, staring at the front with cold eyes. Two figures appeared about a hundred steps ahead, both riding war horses and slowly walking towards this side. The Golden Man's Patrolman would not stand still. In such a cold day, if he doesn't move, he would have been frozen long ago. Despite this, in the biting night wind, the two patrolmen were still very cold. They wrapped their feet tightly with thick sheepskin mattresses, and took out sheep wine bags and poured them into several large mouthfuls.

Yan Qing saw two patrolmen gradually approaching him, and he made a gesture to his subordinates. Everyone climbed away, leaving only Yan Qing and two subordinates with the strongest martial arts skills.

They were wearing white cloaks and lying on the ground and blended with the snow on the ground. Even during the day, it was hard to see, let alone it was the third update.

Two patrolmen walked past them muttered. At this time, Yan Qing and another subordinate jumped up almost at the same time, landing lightly behind the two war horses at the two snow geese. At the same time, the third subordinate coughed heavily.

The cough immediately attracted the attention of the two patrolmen. They did not notice that there were two Song army scouts behind them. Yan Qing exchanged a glance with his subordinates. The two of them took action at the same time, covering the mouths of the Jin soldiers' patrolmen from behind, and a sharp dagger blew over their necks. Blood suddenly gushed. Yan Qing and his subordinates then stabbed into the back of the patrolmen with another knife. These actions were done in one go. In the blink of an eye, the two patrolmen became two corpses, without any sound.

The bodies of the two patrolmen were covered with snow. The two scouts replaced the armor of the Jin soldiers' patrolmen, rode their horses, wrapped them in wool mattresses, and continued to patrol in a pretentious manner. Yan Qing led his other subordinates to run towards the Jin soldiers' camp.

There was also a guardhouse outside the Jin Bing camp, with sentries on it visiting back and forth. Yan Qing and his men were experienced. They slowed down and lie on the ground and slowly climbed towards one of the sentry towers. The sentry tower was like a patrol tower, and there was one every 300 steps. Although the sentry tower could see further, it also had its biggest weakness, that is, it was dark under the light. If you climb under the sentry tower, you could basically not see the sentry above.

Yan Qing sent a subordinate with the highest martial arts skills to climb towards the sentry tower, and the rest were waiting two hundred steps away. About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Qing saw that the figure on the sentry tower had disappeared, so he immediately led his subordinates to run towards the camp.

The sentry on the sentry tower had been killed, and everyone did not need to use the camp to cut off a thick wooden stake and drilled in one after another.

Wang Gui led his men to ambush in the woods ten miles away. At the fourth update, they saw the enemy camp suddenly burst into flames, and the fire spread rapidly in the camp, especially the large tents where the grass was piled up to the sky.

An urgent alarm bell came from the military camp. Wang Gui punched the tree trunk beside him and praised loudly: "Beautiful job!"

But now is not the time to celebrate the commemoration, Wang Gui immediately ordered: "Light!"

A lot of fires were lit several miles away, which was a fire that attracted the enemy. The Jin soldiers would definitely be attracted by the fire in chaos. At this time, Wang Gui was not worried about Yan Qing and the others' situation. They could easily escape in the chaos. Now Wang Gui is more concerned about an ambush he arranged.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, hundreds of cavalrymen were running lightning from a distance, and about 500 cavalry rushed to check the firelight here. Wang Gui raised his hand, and three thousand Song cavalry raised their cavalry crossbows one after another, and pointed the cold crossbow arrows at the enemy troops running from afar. When the enemy cavalry got closer and rushed past fifty steps away, Wang Gui gave the order, "Shoot!"
