On Wolong Mountain to the west of Suining City, Shen Qingzhi has been lurking here with 500 elite troops for two days.
Five days ago, Zhu Lin led the navy to launch an attack on Suining City and uprooted several tamping platforms on both sides of the bank. In the fierce battle ahead, Shen Qingzhi quietly landed on the right bank of Fushui with 500 selected elites, hiding in the vast mountains and forests.
After Shen Qingzhi joined the army, he followed Zhang Feng to participate in the training of climbing mountains and ridges in the brave camp. These five hundred soldiers were all selected elites. They wore leather armor, carried steel knives, and carried three days of food. They could travel freely in the mountains and forests.
When establishing the Heroic Battalion, Yang Anxuan had thought that these elites were different from ordinary soldiers and were often used to sneak behind enemy lines, so the supplies they carried were very important.
Yang Anxuan ordered people to grind the wheat into powder, steam it with sesame oil and salt, dry it in the sun, wrap it in oil paper into half a catty piece, put it into the accompanying cloth bag, mix it with water when eating, and three catties can be eaten for three days. .
In order to ensure the nutrition of the soldiers, Yang Anxuan secretly sent secret guards to Qin, Wei and other countries to buy cattle and sheep every winter, slaughtered and dried them on the spot, made beef jerky and mutton jerky, and transported them back to Xiangyang as dried meat. The dried meat was then ground into Powder is the best dry food for marching.
Each of the five hundred soldiers carried three kilograms of oily wheat flour and two kilograms of dried meat powder, which was enough for them to live in the forest for five days. Shen Qingzhi led his soldiers through the forest. Fu crossed the Fu River two nights ago and hid quietly in Wolong Mountain in the west of Suining City.
Zhu Lin led his army to clear the tamping platforms on both sides of the Fulishui River, and yesterday he began to land to attack Suining City. It was almost noon, and Shen Qingzhi could hear shouts of death from several miles away.
A soldier whispered: "General Shen, look."
A long convoy appeared on the official road. It was a food transport team from Guanghan. Shen Qingzhi was happy because the fighter plane he had been waiting for finally arrived.
A quarter of an hour later, the grain transport team arrived at the west side of Suining City. The city gate was opened to let the grain team enter. Shen Qingzhi took advantage of the grain team to enter the city and led his army to fight out.
The Shu army in the city did not expect that there would be Jin troops lurking in the rear. The city gate was blocked by grain trucks and could not be closed. Shen Qingzhi easily rushed into the city.
Jian Liang was fighting with the Jin army in the east city. In the past two days, the Jin army pretended to be defeated and retreated from time to time. Jian Liang remained unmoved and defended the city. Zhu Lin had no choice but to use siege equipment to start a strong attack.
Jian Liang was shocked when he heard that the Jin army had invaded the west city. He ordered his generals to guard the east city strictly and led hundreds of troops to recapture the west city.
Shen Qingzhi rushed into the city. He did not rush to the east city. Instead, he asked his soldiers to scatter and set fire and damage everywhere in the city, shouting "The Jin army has broken the city." The people in the city didn't know what was true and what was false, so they rushed towards the city gate with their children and their daughters.
Jian Liang saw that the city was on fire, and there were cries of destruction everywhere. The people were in chaos, and the soldiers around him left quietly, and he felt panic in his heart. When they arrived at the west city gate, they saw that the city gate was wide open, and many soldiers mixed with the people and fled out of the city.
When he stood at the city gate and was about to shout and close the city gate, a cold arrow screamed towards him. Fortunately, the bodyguard beside him gave him a push. Leng Jian drew a blood groove on his face, Jian Liang was so distraught that he ran out of the city.
The general ran away, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. Shen Qingzhi came to the east city to kill the scattered Shu army guarding the city, opened the city gate and let Zhu Lin lead his army in. Suining City fell into the hands of the Jin army.
Zhu Lin went out to calm the people and reported to Liu Jingxuan in Dianjiang City. During the Youshi period, Liu Jingxuan led his army to Suining City by boat. The city of Suining was lost, and the Shu army defending the pass either surrendered or fled into the mountains.
Jian Liang fled back to Guanghan City in one breath. Qiao Daofu learned that Suining was lost, so he moved all the people around Guanghan City into the city, closed the four gates, and prepared to defend to the death.
Liu Jingxuan learned that Shen Qingzhi was lurking in the west of Suining City, and captured Suining City while the grain transport team was entering the city. He praised Shen Qingzhi very much, credited Shen Qingzhi with his first contribution, and asked for a title for him after he captured Chengdu.
"General Shen is not only brave and good at fighting, but also resourceful." Liu Jingxuan said with a smile: "I wonder if General Shen has any clever plan to capture Guanghan?"
Shen Qingzhi said with a bit of pride: "When Suining City was destroyed, more than a hundred of Yu Ming's subordinates infiltrated into the common people, and they should have infiltrated into Guanghan City."
Liu Jingxuan asked casually. He didn't expect that Shen Qingzhi had really found a way to defeat the enemy. At this time, he was really impressed by this young general. No wonder Yang Anxuan was willing to marry his sister to this man. This Shen Qingzhi was indeed outstanding.
"Without further delay, Zhu Lin, you and Shen Qingzhi will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to arrive at the gate of Guanghan City as soon as possible, find a way to get in touch with the people in the city, and cooperate with the inside and outside to break the city."
…………
As the sun set, Qiao Daofu, dressed in military uniform, patrolled the city wall under the escort of his own soldiers. Wherever he went, soldiers held weapons and saluted. Qiao Daofu stopped from time to time to talk to the soldiers with gentle words, inquire about his warmth, and occasionally dressed their uniforms. The soldiers were deeply moved.
Standing at the head of the east city, Qiao Daofu looked at the Jin army's camp a few miles away, and said loudly with a relaxed expression: "The Jin army attacked the city for more than half a month, but did not damage our Guanghan city at all. The millet in the city can be used for a year, and the ordnance is sufficient. , the king will send reinforcements in more than a month, and these Jin troops will never come back."
Jian Liang smiled flatteringly and said: "There are six thousand generals in Guanghan City, and more than three thousand young men in the city have been recruited by the governor Qiao. With the help of the people in the city, even ten times more Jin troops can't break the city."
Qiao Daofu pointed to the paralyzed siege equipment under the city and said with a smile: "The city of Guanghan is impregnable, and all the soldiers work together. Liu Jingxuan wants to defeat Guanghan and reach the sky. Send an order to kill thirty sheep and reward the soldiers defending the city."
The large basket of flour cakes was carried up to the top of the city, and the steaming mutton was also carried up. Wu Qing followed the crowd and grabbed two cakes from the basket. The cook spooned two pieces of mutton and placed them on the cakes, wrapping the mutton in it. Chew in the cake, it is sweet and delicious.
Leaning on the city battlement, Wu Qing secretly looked around at the situation. The few people standing or squatting beside him were all Pao Ze who had sneaked into the city with him. He was the Sima of the central army. When he captured Suining City, he was ordered by Shen Qing to sneak into Guanghan City with 120 brothers disguised as common people.
As Shen Qing expected, Qiao Daofu recruited the young men in the city to join the army. Wu Qing and others were called into the army. They defended the city in the past few days. Because of their strength and strength, they were quickly promoted to ten commanders, with ten men under them. Seven of them were Paoze who entered the city with him, and most of the others were assigned to the east city to defend the city.
After staying in the city for more than half a month, Wu Qing got to know the situation in the city. Guanghan City was four feet six feet high and about three feet wide. It was made of rammed earth mixed with glutinous rice and reeds. Wu Qing once tried to pierce the wall with a pistol. Only a big hole was left. The Jin army had been attacking the city for half a month, and there was almost no major damage to the wall.
In the past few days, Wu Qing took advantage of the opportunity to eat and met with Pao Ze, who had entered the city together. Although he did not speak, everyone knew where he was, and they could activate it together when they saw the secret message agreed upon.
During the evening patrol, Wu Qing divided his men into two groups and led four people to patrol in the middle of the night. Of course, these people were his brothers.
There was silence everywhere. Wu Qing took out the rope he had prepared in advance and said, "Luo Fang, go back quickly. If you see torches burning at the top of the city, there is no need to come back."
Luo Fang was not tall, but he was as nimble as a monkey. He used his hands and feet to use the rope hammer to get down to the city, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
At the top of the city, Wu Qing and others were worried and felt that the time was extremely difficult. During this period, three patrols of soldiers passed by them. Wu Qing and others raised torches to illuminate the situation, but the patrolling soldiers found nothing unusual.
At the end of Yin Dynasty, white fish belly began to appear on the horizon, and Wu Qing became anxious. In two quarters of an hour, the gong would sound, and it was time for the soldiers in the city to get up.
Two crisp bird calls came from the city, and Wu Qing said quickly: "Put down the rope and let Luo come up."
The rope hung down, and Luo Fang quickly climbed up. A few people did not dare to say anything, so they quickly gathered the rope around their waists and covered it with their armor. At this time, the sound of gongs sounded.
The soldiers on duty at night could rest for half a day, and Wu Qing and others returned to their residence below the city. There was no one around, so Luo Fang briefly talked about the situation when he met Liu Jingxuan and Shen Qing, and agreed to climb the rope to the city at the right time in two days.
On the night of May 30th, there was no moon in the sky, and a group of black shadows quietly approached the foot of Guanghan City. Several birds chirped, and three ropes hung from the top of the city. Shen Qingzhi grabbed one and climbed up the city first.
After the three people boarded the city, they took off the ropes they carried from their waists. The three ropes became six. In just a quarter of an hour, more than fifty ropes were lined up at the top of the city.
In the distance, a group of Shu troops came holding torches. When Shen Qing saw that there were more than a hundred people on the city, he said softly: "We will take action when they get close."
The patrolling Shu army obviously noticed something strange. Why was there a group of people standing on the city wall? The leader of the school captain drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Which team are you from? Why did you gather at the top of the city in the middle of the night?"
Wu Qing responded loudly: "The servants are under the command of Colonel Hu Chen. I just heard something strange under the city. Colonel Hu ordered the servants to check."
The captain believed it to be true and quickly stepped forward to check. Shen Qingzhi drew his knife in his hand and struck at him without saying a word. The captain hurriedly stepped back and shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking."
Shen Qingzhi was a little angry that he had missed. He stepped forward and stabbed with a knife. The knife entered his body and spattered blood. The screams rang out, alarming the Shu soldiers guarding the city.
The patrolling Shu soldiers were quickly killed. Shen Yingzhi waved his sword and said calmly: "Raise the fire as a signal. Guard the city and let the soldiers speed up."
Several braziers placed at the top of the city were gathered together. When Liu Jingxuan saw the fire at the top of the city, he shouted loudly: "General Shen has already boarded the city. Let's take the opportunity to attack the city." Countless torches were lit under the city, and the Jin army shouted towards the city gate. Rush away.
It happened to be Jian Liang who was guarding the city tonight. After he lost Suining and fled back to Guanghan, Qiao Daofu only scolded him a few times and ordered him to perform meritorious service. Jian Liang didn't dare to neglect, and only went back to his tent to rest after looking around.
He was woken up by his own soldiers while sleeping soundly. When he learned that the Jin army was approaching the city, Jian Liang broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly put on his armor and took a sword to the city to watch.
When he learned that more than a hundred Jin troops had climbed up to the top of the city and the city gate had not been lost, Jian Liang breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Secure the city head and don't let the Jin troops break through the city gate. Sons and gentlemen, follow Yu to kill the Jin who climbed the city." military."
At this time, more than 300 Jin troops had climbed up the city wall and were fighting with the gathered Shu troops. The city wall was limited in scope, and the Jin troops were heavily surrounded by Shu troops and trapped on the city wall of more than ten feet.
Jian Liang rushed over and shouted: "Archers, shoot these people to death."
When Shen Qingzhi heard the sound, he rushed towards where Jian Liang was speaking, but the Shu army stepped forward to stop him. Wu Qing shouted: "Brothers, don't do anything yet."
The Jin army hiding among the Shu army swung their swords and slashed at the Shu army around them. The Shu army was in chaos, unable to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Everyone was in danger and scattered in all directions.
Shen Qingzhi shouted loudly: "The Di people returned to the imperial court and welcomed the Jin army into the city."
The originally chaotic Shu army became even more chaotic. You must know that half of the six thousand Shu army were Di and Qiang soldiers and horses. Jian Liang shouted urgently: "Brothers, please don't mess up. This is a trick of the Jin people. Don't be fooled."
Shen Qingzhi identified Jian Liang, waved his sword to force back several Shu soldiers, and rushed towards Jian Liang. Jian Liang knew that he could not retreat, otherwise his morale would be shattered, so he stepped forward to fight Shen Qingzhi with his sword.
Sparks erupted when the knife hit one spot. Jian Liang felt a lightness in his hand. The blade was cut off by his opponent's knife, and the sword's light continued to hit his head.
Jian Liang exclaimed, cut off the knife in his hand and threw it towards Shen Qingzhi, and ducked back. His own life was important, and he could not care about the soldiers' morale. Jian Liang was defeated, and the Shu troops who were at a loss turned and fled.
Shen Qingzhi led his men to kill at the city gate, and quickly dispersed the defenders. The city gate was opened, and the overall situation was decided.
Qiao Daofu lived in the governor's mansion. When he learned that the Jin army was attacking at night, he quickly led his people to the city gate. Before he reached the city gate, he encountered a broken army. When he learned that the city gate had been opened and the Jin army entered the city, he knew that the situation was over and he sighed. With a sound, the defeated generals with the remaining soldiers opened the west gate and fled.
Some people died, but not completely...
