Chapter 915 Jiexiu's attack

The Jin soldiers’ logistics camp in Jiexiu County originally had 10,000 troops garrisons here, which was the Han army drawn by Wanyan Chang from various places in Hedong Road. After the arrival of Wanyan Xieye’s army, 10,000 more Jin soldiers were garrisoned. The new Jin soldiers were mainly the Han army in Yan.

Although the Han army in Yan and the Han army in Hedong were both Han people and their language and faces were the same, they looked down on the Han army from the bottom of their hearts. They believed that they were Liao people and their home country was destroyed, so they had no choice but to become subjects of the Jin Kingdom. These Han army were obviously Song troops and had their own country, but they surrendered to foreign races and were willing to be hawks and dogs, which was despicable.

It is precisely for this reason that the Han army in Yan and the Han army in Hedong are clearly separated, and they will never communicate with each other, and the boundaries are clearly marked.

After Yan Qing returned from Shangdang County, he pseudonym Lu Qing and joined the Hedong Han Army through his relationship and became a sergeant. The five below were all under his scout camp. On that day, the military camp took off. Yan Qing came to the Jiaohe Tavern in the county as usual. A bartender in this tavern was his subordinate, who was specifically responsible for conveying messages to Taiyuan City.

Yan Qing found a seat in the corner and sat down. After a moment, the bartender hurriedly came forward to say hello, "What do you want to eat at Jun Ye?"

"Give me a pot of wine, a few side dishes, two plates of meat, and I don't want the others."

The bartender winked at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Jun, please wait, come soon!"

The bartender turned around and left. Yan Qing knew from the bartender's eyes that there must be important news today.

Soon, the bartender brought him wine and food, pressing a note under the dish plate, with only two words on it, "Sautchai", Yan Qing recognized it at a glance. This was the handwriting of the Dutong. He felt excited and finally waited for this moment.

Of course, burning the camp does not mean burning the military camp, but burning the logistics camp. Yan Qing has been planning for a long time and is waiting for the final order.

Yan Qing had a few glasses of wine, then put the knife on the table, got up and walked away, not far away, and the bartender chased him from behind, "June, walk slowly, you forgot your knife."

"From my memory, I actually forgot about the guy who was eating."

He took the knife, and the knife became lighter. The bartender gave him a wink. Yan Qing understood and took the knife and left.

Back at the military camp, Yan Qing greeted all the way and soon came to his tent. He looked out and then took off the knife to take a closer look. This knife was the straight knife used by ordinary soldiers, almost exactly the same as his knife, but the knife handle was obviously much lighter. Yan Qing pulled out the knife handle, and there were long air tubes inside, and there were three small flint locks with extremely exquisite workmanship. This flint lock was made by Zhao Liang fireware shop in Beijing. It was like a lighter. It can ignite the fire with one hand, which is very convenient to use.

This is because Yan Qing had already arranged for his subordinates to customize this special knife. It is also because the logistics warehouse is extremely strict and it is necessary to search three times before entering. It is impossible to get in with the flint stone in. Yan Qing can only make a fuss about his weapons.

In the afternoon, a subordinate came and reported, "I have agreed to Ma Laowu and the others that we will be on duty tonight and we will exchange it for them next time!"

Yan Qing nodded. It was ten days after they were on duty. It was probably too late to go to time. It would be better to take action tonight. Yan Qing was also a decisive person. The governor had no orders before, so he could only wait and endure. Now that he received the governor's order, he immediately took action.

"Go and get all of them back, let's discuss it!"

Yan Qing and the others were on duty tonight in the second half of the night, from the third week to dawn. Before the third week, Yan Qing led five men to the warehouse camp. There were five other 500 people who arrived with him, all of them were on duty in the second half of the night.

The warehouse group was originally one, but since the arrival of the Han army in Yanshan Prefecture, it was divided into the South District and the North District. The Han army on Hedong Road was guarded by the Han army on Yanshan Prefecture, while the North District was guarded by the Han army on Yanshan Prefecture, with a wooden fence between them. The two armies each perform their duties and do not interact with each other.

There are three guard posts at the entrance of the warehouse camp. All three guard posts must be searched. Except for weapons, no items are allowed to be brought in. As for carrying ignition items, once seized, it is a death penalty.

After strict searches, Yan Qing and his five subordinates entered the warehouse camp. The warehouse camp covers an area of ​​about 300 acres and consists of 200 various warehouses. The warehouse group here has always been there. It is not a temporary tent-shaped camp, but a wooden structure. Yan Qing and others are responsible for the guards of the southern area, that is, the grain and grass warehouse, and the northern area is a military capital warehouse, guarded by Han soldiers of Yanshan Prefecture. The normal duty is that each side will produce 1,000 people, of which 500 are responsible for the periphery, and the other 500 are responsible for patrols in the warehouse.

Yan Qing stayed here for almost two months and had already learned about the warehouse well. They were responsible for guarding the Forage No. 7 and No. 8. After entering the post, the six people began to act quickly.

Yan Qing used a spare key to open the small door of the No. 7 warehouse. Everyone entered the warehouse. Bales of forage in the warehouse were piled up like a hill. From the beginning of the war, they had basically never used it. They lifted a large bluestone slab in the northwest corner of the warehouse, dug out the soil on it, and exposed a large box below, with more than a dozen turtle oil bags inside. They prepared it a month ago. At that time, the warehouse had not been divided into the southern and northern areas, so it was easy to get turtle oil from the inside.

Everyone carried the turtle oil bags on their backs, and each person had thirty kilograms. Yan Qing distributed three flint locks to everyone, and said to them: "We will act separately, and gather at the fence after ignition. Everyone should move quickly and deal with abnormal situations decisively."

Everyone nodded together, and the six people immediately divided into three teams, two people in one team, and the six people left separately.

Because they were operated by internal soldiers, they were very familiar with the military situation. The Han army was generally sluggish and the morale was poor. The system of internal patrol in the warehouse was useless. Yan Qing knew that after the handover on duty, the soldiers would find a place to sleep and would never patrol the warehouse group seriously and responsibly. Anyway, there were troops guarding the outside world, so it didn't matter whether these internal patrol soldiers had them.

A quarter of an hour later, the warehouse No. 1, the southmost side caught fire first, which was also a forage warehouse. The fire in the warehouse was unknown, but thick smoke was pouring out of the warehouse. Then the second warehouse also caught fire, almost one after another. More than 40 warehouses on the south side caught fire one after another, and the fire spread rapidly. Under the strong south wind at night, the fire quickly formed into a piece, and the wooden buildings were even more like adding oil to the fire, and were soon engulfed by the flames.

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’ The alarm sounded throughout the warehouse group, and a group of soldiers rushed from the barracks and quickly joined the firefighting team.

At this time, three warehouses in the north warehouse were also ignited. This was a tinder oil warehouse. The fire was even more terrifying. It did not have a ignition and explosion, which engulfed several nearby warehouses.

Twenty thousand Jin soldiers were in chaos, with roars and scolding everywhere. People in the dark ran away, pouring basins of water on the warehouse, like a bucket of water and cups of fire, without any effect at all. Thousands of soldiers were concentrated on rescuing the two northernmost grain warehouses, which contained 20,000 stones of grain. This was the only warehouse that was not on fire, but the fire would spread at any time. Sooner or later, these two warehouses would be engulfed by the fire. Rescuing the grain of these two warehouses was almost the only meaningful thing for the Jin soldiers at present.

At this time, Yan Qing and his five subordinates had quietly left the warehouse while they took off their military uniforms and ran to the field. They could not stay any longer. After dawn tomorrow, the Jin soldiers would definitely severely punish the soldiers on duty, and they would still leave as a plan.
