Chapter 904: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea

The Jin soldiers deployed the vigilance of Taiyuan City very closely. They deployed 3,000 patrol cavalry within 50 miles of Taiyuan City and formed 60 patrol teams to defend the outskirts of Taiyuan City, in order to prevent Taiyuan City from obtaining food and grass support. Therefore, even if they travel at night, they could not escape the surveillance of patrol soldiers. Luo Shi proposed a bold and feasible plan to hide the truth.

On the official road from Jiexiu County to Taiyuan City, a team of 200 ox carts was slowly heading north. The cart was full of forage. This was a team that transported 30,000 dan of forage. Currently, it was the Beidaying of the Jin soldiers. The cart and the driver were both requisitioned from the people. Two hundred escort soldiers were followed on both sides, all of which were Han soldiers. The leader was a Han army head. He rode on the horse with a large spear in his hand, and looked ahead with cold eyes.

The Jin soldiers had established a logistics supply line between Jiexiu County and Taiyuan Prefecture, and there were continuous streams of material convoys traveling on the official road, constantly replenishing food and supplies to the Jin soldiers camp.

This team transporting forage is relatively small in scale, so there are not many guards, only 200 soldiers. If it is a large grain transport team, the guard team will exceed 1,000.

At this time, they were still eighty miles away from Taiyuan City. When they arrived fifteen miles south of Taiyuan City, there was a northward branch road there, where they would turn the road to the east and then walk north.

The forage on the cart was piled up like mountains, and two long ropes were cross-shaped to fix the forage on the cart. The cart shook and walked slowly very slowly. Seeing that the sun had set and there was a forest on the left, he shouted: "Go to the woods to rest!"

The soldiers walked more than a hundred miles and were already exhausted. The order to rest was issued, and everyone ran towards the woods.

The soldiers rushed to the woods and took off their armor, threw away their weapons, wrapped them in old sheepskin, and found a dry place to sit down. The soldiers had eaten dry food on the way. They were exhausted and fell asleep. The coachmen fed their own donkeys and gathered together, drinking while gnawing on the dry food, and secretly discussing the latest battle situation.

These coachmen were all timid and timid plain-headed villains. The Jin soldiers forced their big chariots and manpower, and did not give them any money, and could not even go home to worship their ancestors in the New Year. Of course, they were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to show it in front of the soldiers, for fear of causing a murder.

But it would be wrong to say that they don’t care about the situation of the war, after all, the situation in Hedong is related to the vital interests of each of them.

"I heard that the Jin soldiers attacked Taiyuan City was unfavorable, and tens of thousands of casualties were injured and killed, and Taiyuan City did not even take down the root hair."

"That's of course, I don't look at who is guarding Taiyuan City. When Li Dutong guarded Taiyuan City, we were one of the 80,000 civilians. The scene was exciting! Everyone just hated that there were too few places to serve. If I hadn't been a little older, I would have been qualified to go to the city to fight."

"Old Zhang has also participated in the Taiyuan Defense Battle?" Everyone's eyes changed when they saw the old man, and they were full of respect.

The old man said proudly: "My son and I participated at that time. My son also went to the city to operate a catapult. I was responsible for transporting arrows and turbulent oil, the buckets of turbulent oil and bundles of arrows. Now when I think about it, it is still so exciting."

The old man closed his eyes, full of memories of the beautiful past.

"Old Zhang, tell us about that war!"

A young man enviously said: "I heard from my parents that more than 40,000 Jin soldiers died in that war, and finally defeated and retreated. Only then did I realize that our army could defeat Jin soldiers."

"Li Dutong has never been defeated. In the two defense battles in Tokyo, the Jin soldiers suffered 50,000 or 60,000 casualties! They never captured Tokyo."

"Hey!" The roar of the Han army leader came from a distance, "Shut up, don't gather, let me sleep!"

Everyone had to curse a few words and walked away.

Just deep in the woods, fifty Song army scouts were quietly in place. They have been following this forage transport convoy from afar since noon. The team is very small and just right for them.

Wu Hailing waved his hand, called the two deputy generals over, and whispered to them: "It is not difficult to annihilate this army. The key is that one person cannot escape the net. You two each brought ten brothers to ambush the north and south to intercept the fish that escaped the net. I led thirty brothers to take action head-on."

Both of them nodded, and Luo Shi asked, "When will we do it?"

Wu Hailing looked up at the treetops and looked at the moonlight, and said, "It's almost the first update now, so let's do it at the first update. Anyway, you'll hear the screams. Remember! I'm responsible for catching the living mouth. When you encircle and suppress the enemy, you can't keep a living mouth. If you act harder, otherwise you will kill us."

"Don't worry! We know it in our hearts."

Luo Shi and Jiao Wang each led ten soldiers to ambush outside the forest. Wu Hailing said to the thirty soldiers: "Let's take action later, try to use assassination of sentries as much as possible. When they find out, half of them will be dead. Then you will kill with all your might and leave no living."

The method of assassinating the sentry was to cover his mouth and cut his throat. Everyone nodded together. Wu Hailing asked the soldiers to pack their equipment. Seeing that the time was almost over, he waved his hand and thirty soldiers followed him to touch the edge of the woods silently.

The soldiers were all rigorously trained and started very hard. Thirty people moved quickly, almost all of which were the same method. They reached out to cover their mouths, and the sharp dagger slashed hard on their throats at the same time, and blood was spurted out. Then they stood up and pounced on the other person, leaving only the broken throat slowly struggling to die.

However, in the short moment when the rabbits were rising and falling, half of the two hundred Han soldiers had been killed. Finally, a few soldiers woke up and saw a terrifying scene and couldn't help but scream.

Han soldiers woke up from their sleep and got up in panic, but waited for them to kill ruthlessly and cruelly, and they didn't even have to cover their mouths. With a wave of the dagger, blood spurted out from their throats, and the soldiers knelt down while covering their throats.

The Song army scouts killed more than 60 people in a blink of an eye. The remaining thirty people finally reacted and fled to the woods, but they were greeted by the Song army soldiers who were outside the ruthlessly shot and killed them.

In just one stick of incense, the woods became quiet and all 200 Han soldiers were killed.

At this time, Wu Hailing quickly walked to the two hundred coachmen and said to a group of scared coachmen: "We are the scouts of the Song army under Dutong Li. We will not hurt you. I will take you into Taiyuan City to restore your freedom!"

The coachmen were shocked and then agreed. At this time, a soldier came to report: "Report to the commander, one person is missing, and the enemy's leader is gone."

Wu Hailing was shocked. This was a problem. He ordered: "Go to search in the woods and never let this person escape!"

The soldiers rushed into the woods. At this moment, an old coachman coughed heavily. He looked at Wu Hailing and turned his eyes to his side. Wu Hailing's heart moved. He looked along the old man's gaze and saw a tall man standing next to him. He was about thirty years old, with a strong figure and a fierce appearance. He had a long scar on his face. He looked down and did not dare to look at him from beginning to end. Moreover, his clothes were not right. He was actually wearing a white midsummer. In such cold weather, no one would take off his clothes and sleep.

Wu Hailing stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, "You come out!"

A dagger suddenly appeared in the man's hand and stabbed Wu Hailing hard in the chest. Wu Hailing was prepared for it. He pinched his wrist and turned around and threw it on his back, throwing the man over his head, and more than a foot away.

The man struggled to get up, and several soldiers on both sides rushed forward, holding them firmly and tied them up.

Wu Hailing kicked the dagger away, squatted in front of him and said coldly: "You should be the escaped leader!"

"Let me go, you bastard!"

Wu Hailing grabbed his collar and slapped him twice, "Take him down for interrogation and let him taste the taste of cramps and skin."

Cramps and skinning are the cruelest methods of interrogation. A shrill scream came from the depths of the woods. Soon, a soldier came out and said, "Report to the commander, he confessed everything, and he had no orders, and passed by military orders and arrows."

At this time, Wu Hailing also found the escort arrows and military orders, and he smiled at a group of coachmen and said, "Thank you for a hard time and enter Taiyuan City as soon as possible!"
