Chapter 393 Jiang Shu's Remonstrance
Lin Xuan's troops rushed to fight. When they met the Futu Army, they had a headache. It was difficult to hurt the opponent invulnerable swords and guns, but when they cut off the people on their side, they were not ruthless at all.
Now all three major forces know that they need to use long hook soldiers or long soldiers to deal with the Futu Army, but who would have expected that they would appear in the rear?
Tang Niu didn't even expect that the other party would go around and attack the granary.
Lin Xuan's hands were all very ordinary infantry and archers, and it was difficult to fight targetedly.
But he can't escape. After all, the granary is the most important logistics support, and he uses the head of the neck to ensure that he will never lose anything!
Once the granary was broken, resulting in the Zhou army having no food available, Lin Xuan became a sinner.
Faced with this situation, the only thing we can do is to defend the entire army and work hard to delay. At the same time, we will send a distress signal immediately, hoping that the main force ahead will rescue in time when they see the signal.
Lin Xuan thought so and did the same.
Ask his subordinates to ignite the war fire and smoke, lead their troops to block the granary entrance, and set up a square formation to intercept the Chinese army.
When the fortifications were destroyed by the other party, they used their flesh and blood as the city wall.
But the overbearing charge of the Futu army did not make any sense at all. Anyway, you can't break my armor and directly fight you face to face to make you feel in pain. There were crossbow soldiers behind to cover and shoot, and Lin Xuan's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers behind began to shake.
"Don't retreat, no retreat!" When the situation was not good, Lin Xuan personally took the horse to welcome the enemy in order to boost morale, "Calendar with me!"
His move was still effective. The soldier who was originally panicked and frightened saw that the chief general took the lead and regained a little confidence.
Seeing Lin Xuan go out in person, Dewey immediately raised the silver snake spear and charged: "The Chinese cavalry general Dewey is here! Can the enemy general dare to fight?"
At this time, Lin Xuan could not retreat. Once he retreated, his morale would collapse immediately. So he raised his gun to fight Dewey: "Lin Xuan is here!"
The two of them ran wildly opposite each other and rushed to the same place soon.
"Look at the gun!" Lin Xuan first made a move and stabbed Dewey in the face with a fierce shot.
"Good come!" Dewey Silver Snake Spear gently thrust, blocking Lin Xuan's attack, and stabbing his backhand into his heart.
Lin Xuan was startled and hurriedly dodged away. When the war horses were intertwined, he turned around and shot out.
Dewey turned around at the same time, and the Silver Snake Spear accurately pushed away the spear and swept directly over.
Lin Xuan hurriedly leaned over and barely avoided the attack.
The two generals rode horses and circled around in circles, fighting back and forth for fifteen rounds.
Lin Xuan was no match after all. He was pierced by Dewey's lower abdomen, and then he was picked up into the air and fell heavily to the ground and died on the spot.
Killing Lin Xuan, Dewey shouted: "The enemy general Lin Xuan is dead, and the surrendered ones will not be killed!"
The morale of the Chinese army was greatly boosted, and they all shouted: "The enemy general Lin Xuan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!!"
The sounds were heard one after another, which was particularly shocking.
The general is the core of the army. Especially the main general is the core of the core.
When the granary defenders found that the chief general was killed in a single fight, and the morale was instantly reduced to the end when the dragon was without a leader. Where could they have the courage to continue fighting?
What's more, I'm facing the famous Futu Army.
Some chose to turn around and escape and quickly leave the place; the other part abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The Zhou army collapsed instantly, and the granary guards were easily broken.
Dewey led his troops straight in and quickly issued an order: "Take away everything you can, burn a fire if you can't take, and don't leave a grain of food!"
After receiving the order, the Chinese army immediately took action, transporting military rations from the warehouse, carrying as much as possible. At the same time, they ordered the surrendered Zhou soldiers to help and transport them food.
He tried his best to move away a large number of military rations, but in the end he could not transport them away, he would set fire and burn them.
At this time, some of the surrendered soldiers found Dewey and hurriedly said to him: "General! It's too a pity that so much food was burned in fire! The villain was a scout in the army. When reconnaissing the nearby terrain, he found a hidden valley, which few people knew. The valley was empty, and military rations could be hidden and taken away in batches!"
"Oh? There is something wrong?" Dewey asked him in confusion, "You are from Zhou, why do you want to advise me?"
"Report to General! These foods come from the people and are saved one by one. The villain is also from poor people. Although he joins the army, he dare not forget his roots. No matter whether he is in the Zhou army or surrenders, he cannot waste food. Perhaps for the general, what he cannot take away is the enemy's supplies, but it is the blood and sweat of the people!"
Dewey nodded when he heard this, thinking that the man was interesting: "What's your name?"
"Report to the general, the villain Jiang Shu (shu), the millet of millet!"
"Well~ This name is well obtained, and it's also very suitable!" Dewey nodded, "Is what he said just now true?"
"Every sentence is true!"
"Very good! I believe you once." Dewey immediately ordered the burnt granary to move all the grain away, and Jiang Shu was guided by him and transported it directly to the hidden valley in his mouth.
All the soldiers acted together, took away Zhou Guo's military rations from the granary, and set out with Jiang Shu. Sure enough, they found an extremely hidden valley with few people.
Immediately, the general rations were stored in the valley and continued to transport them until the entire granary was emptied.
In order to prevent the people from discovering problems, the emptied granary was burned out in the end and quickly evacuated.
Dewey attached great importance to Jiang Shu, who was kept by advice, and mainly favored him and asked him if he wanted to stay by his side to do things.
Jiang Shu knew Dewey's identity, not to mention that the General of the Cavalry was very high, he was the brother of Ning Ze, the king of Danyang, and was one of the top figures in China. This was a great opportunity to rise to the top, and he never dared to think about it before.
As a low-level soldier, he was barely alive when he was fighting just to have a bite of food. As for whom he served, he didn't care at all.
In his opinion, China, Zhou, Liang, and Nancheng were the princes divided by Dacheng. After all, they were a group of people fighting for power, and there was no difference.
How could Dewey not agree to the recruitment?
So Jiang Shu stayed with Dewey and listened to his call.
The Chinese army successfully transferred the military rations to the hidden valley, first led a small part to the road, retreated temporarily, and consulted Ouyang Chun to transport the remaining military rations.
On the other hand, the beacon fires and smoke in the granary did not attract the attention of the Tang Niu army. After all, it was midnight and the distance was very far, so I didn't want to see it clearly in broad daylight.
However, the fire that burned the granary when Dewey left was burning the red half of the sky, which attracted attention.
The patrolman who found something was wrong quickly reported to him.
Officials from Zhou State were alarmed and found that there seemed to be a fire in the direction of the granary, so they hurriedly informed Tang Niu.
Tang Niu was shocked. The granary was the most important logistics supply station for the army. Could it be that Lin Xuan was not in charge of the situation and caused a fire?
At this moment, a soldier discovered the wolf smoke through the fire, and realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly reported the discovery in time.
Only then did Tang Niu realize that the granary was attacked!
There was no time to consider how the enemy avoided the main army stationed here, quietly entered his own territory, and found the location of the granary, and hurriedly sent general Li Ling to send troops to rescue him.
Li Ling led the cavalry to the granary position for a long distance.
After arriving, I found that the corpses were everywhere, and all the soldiers lying were lying on them.
The granary has been burned to coke and nothing can be rescued.
Li Ling's troops were divided into two groups, one team patrolled around and investigated who was causing the fire. The other team quickly investigated the identity of the deceased, hoping that Lin Xuan would escape the disaster. If he could find him, the reason might be found.
For Li Ling, who had serious military conditions, either the enemy troops quietly entered the country and attacked the granary, or the locals of the Dike tribe took action.
There are also several factions within the Dike tribe, and there are some uncontrolled local bandits. Is it possible that they did it?
The soldiers sent around to investigate did not find any clues or suspicious characters.
After all, Dewey has left long ago and has led troops to fight for a long time. He also knows how to quickly hide the footprints of the army and try to leave the least clues so that the other party will not be able to pursue them easily.
There was no clue about the investigation around, but there was a great news on the granary - the body of the guard Lin Xuan was found!
It is obvious that Lin Xuan died in battle.
Li Ling was quite shocked by this. After all, Lin Xuan was very skilled in martial arts and originally thought that it would not be so easy to die here.
The subordinates reported that all the soldiers here died of swords, crossbows and arrows. In addition, there were obvious signs of explosions on the destructive facilities outside the granary.
This eliminates the possibility that local dike bandits attack the granary.
Speaking of explosions, judging from the military information they have mastered, it must be the Chinese army.
At least the Chinese army has a variety of explosive weapons, which are quite prominent in this era and no one can imitate it for the time being.
Tang Niu suffered such a hardship when he led his troops to attack Huajun.
In this way, it was obvious that the Chinese army attacked the granary, killed Lin Xuan and set fire to everything.
Soon, some found deserters verified this statement.
From the deserter's mouth, Li Ling learned about the whole story.
It turned out that Dewey led the Futu army and the crossbow soldiers who used explosive crossbows to launch a raid on the granary. Lin Xuan led his troops to fight to the death and eventually lost.
By dawn, Li Ling led his troops to search the surrounding area. Apart from finding more deserters, he could not see the shadow of the Chinese army. He really couldn't figure out where they came from and where they left.
In desperation, I had to go back to report to Tang Niu and explain the situation here in detail.
When Tang Niu learned that it was the Chinese army that it was a sneak attack and burned the granary, Lin Xuan died in a battle and was in a complicated mood.
The destruction of the granary will bring a blow to the morale of our army. Without military rations, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable.
In order to solve this problem, the leader of the Di tribe was asked to contribute the food and grass that he had robbed during this period.
Although Du Du refused to give up, he did not dare to disobey his orders.
This can only relieve a little, and the problem cannot be solved. Tang Niu sent someone to Puzhou to collect grain urgently, ensuring extremely reliable supplies.
At the same time, in order to protect the granary, Lin Xuan was awarded the title of second-rank general of the East and gave his family pension.
This is done to show everyone that those who fight to the death of the country do not have to worry that their families are not taken care of, and their contributions will be remembered!
