At this time, another team was lurking outside the garrison camp. After meeting Ning Hu, they immediately sneaked into the camp.
It is said to be a camp, but it is actually a large courtyard with a fence of only one foot. Compared with the yamen, its defensive capabilities are simply not on the same level.
After invading the camp, Ning Hu and the other soldiers wiped out the night guards, then quietly entered the barracks, stood in front of the bed, exchanged glances, and then swung their swords together, killing the defenders. In sleep.
Then they followed the same pattern and massacred each barracks silently.
In the blink of an eye, most of the defenders had been slaughtered.
Just when Ning Hu was about to go all out and kill all the Pingcang County defenders, by chance, this scene was discovered by a defender who had woken up at night, and the sound of gongs shook the sky.
When his whereabouts were exposed, Ning Hu did not hesitate and made a decisive decision: "Kill them all!"
As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers rushed directly into the remaining barracks, and forcibly killed the defenders who were in a dazed state or had just woken up in a panic and had no time to pick up their weapons.
There was also a camp defender who rushed out of the camp in a hurry, but instead of fighting the attackers, he fled toward the outside of the camp without looking back.
Seeing that the soldiers were about to pursue him, Ning Hu quickly stopped and said, "Ignore it!"
"Pingcang County has been frightened and rushed to the warehouse to search for grain and grass supplies!"
Ning Hu led all the soldiers to leave the camp and went straight to the Pingcang County warehouse. The yamen guarding the warehouse knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and took the initiative to open the warehouse. In order to survive, without even forcing him, he took the initiative to lead the soldiers to look for the "big cart". ".
According to Qin Feng's previous tasks, he only took the bows, arrows, food, and cowhide water bags that were used for consumption.
When searching for supplies, he saw that there were still two large tanks of oil stored in the warehouse. Ning Hu decisively asked the soldiers to move the oil into the car.
In order to avoid being intercepted by the Qingqi rushing to the rescue, everything had to be carried lightly, so not too many things could be taken. Finally, after three large carts were filled, Ning Hu decisively ordered to stop the looting and escorted the cart towards the city gate.
At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city gate shot and killed more than a dozen defenders who tried to leave the city for help.
Although the city gate is blocked, if it is not properly secured, people will climb over the wall and get out. Therefore, it is not advisable to stay in Pingcang County for a long time and must leave quickly.
Mingyun Township, which is less than 20 miles away from Pingcang County, has already accumulated 3,000 people. At the same time, soldiers are constantly being transferred from various places to join the army that searches for and suppresses enemy invaders.
The person who ordered the seizure was Chen Ping, the goalkeeper of the fifth battalion of the Eagle Brigade who ambushed Qin Feng.
While Chen Ping and his men were studying the strategy of attacking the mountain at night, the messenger stumbled in.
"General, something bad has happened. Pingcang County has been plundered by the enemy! The county defenders desperately escaped and asked for help. General, please send reinforcements to Pingcang County quickly!"
After hearing this, the entire camp fell silent.
After a while, a tooth general present couldn't help but sigh in a deep voice: "At this time, the enemy still dares to go down the mountain to plunder? Are these guys so brave that they have eaten the heart of a bear?"
The little leader of Night Owl, who was assisting in this encirclement and suppression operation, frowned: "It is said that the enemy invaders should have been defeated in the battle last night. How come it has only been one day that the enemy invaders organized effective operations again? According to intelligence, the enemy troops The leader of the thieves, Ning Hu, is a reckless man, more than brave, but lacking in strategy. How can such a stupid young man who only knows how to deal with head-to-head situations be so quick in adapting to changes?"
Chen Ping waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
Recalling the battle last night, Chen Ping couldn't help but have a flash of respect in his eyes.
"Don't forget, everyone, the opponent is a guard of the Tianji Battalion. If it were any other enemy who fell into the ambush circle carefully prepared by us, they would have been killed long ago. However, the opponent forced his way out and escaped. Hundreds of people. You must know that even General Chen Si is extremely afraid of this Tianji Camp guard and ordered us to keep Ning Hu and the Tianji Camp guards within the territory at all costs."
"Tonight, the enemy took a wrong turn and dared to go down the mountain to plunder the county town. It can be seen that the enemy is ready to defend Qingyu Mountain. In my opinion, ignore Pingcang County and attack Qingyu Mountain immediately. While the enemy's foothold is not stable, Strike head-on and kill the enemy's effective force."
"The enemy invaders only have two hundred people. If one of them dies, one will be missing!"
In Chen Ping's view, although the enemy invaders were guards of the Tianji Battalion and were at the pinnacle of infantry warfare, they were trapped in Beidi territory and were isolated and helpless. A high-pressure attack on the enemy invaders was the first choice.
The generals present basically agreed with Chen Ping's proposal.
after all……
Chen Ping is the younger brother of General Chen Si. He is brave and strategic, so there is no need to say more.
But at this moment, the local magistrate who came to supervise the battle rejected Chen Si's proposal.
"No! This encirclement and suppression army is composed of defenders deployed from various counties and cities. They are in no way comparable to the regular army. The city defenders are still weak, so how can they deal with such fierce battles? The terrain of Qingyu Mountain is complex, and they go up the mountain at night. If If you are ambushed by the Tianji Camp guards, you will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"Besides, Pingcang County dispatched hundreds of people to support, leaving the defense empty, and the enemy took advantage of the loophole. Besides, the local counties are helping the front line with all their resources. If Pingcang County is ignored, what will the people in the counties think? If people’s hearts are disturbed, I’m afraid General Chen can’t escape the blame, right?”
Faced with Zhizhou's rebuttal, Chen Ping secretly cursed in his heart that the literati had harmed the country.
Soldiers are very fast. The earlier they launch an attack on Qingyu Mountain, the greater the impact will be on the enemy. If they wait until the search and suppression army is assembled, who knows how well prepared the Tianji Camp guards are.
The most important point is that Ye Xiao is right. Ning Hu is very brave, but he is by no means a general. He cannot make the judgment to take advantage of the chaos and plunder. There must be an expert to help him.
As for which talented person from Beixi County it is, it is not yet known.
It's a pity that the official level is overwhelming, and the magistrate has also moved out of the local people's hearts. There is no way to attack the mountain. The matter of attacking the mountain can only be considered in the long term. Chen Ping immediately dispatched the Eagle Brigade cavalry to Pingcang County.
Within half an hour, the Eagle Brigade cavalry had already rushed into the city gate. The county town that had been plundered should have been in chaos, but the result was beyond expectations.
The entire county was quiet, and there was no scene of robbery at all. The people on both sides of the street were sleeping soundly and were not affected at all.
However, when the cavalry arrived at the county government office and prepared to challenge the magistrate, they found that the magistrate's family members were crying together and the magistrate had already been beheaded.
Then he went to the garrison camp, but it was a scene of purgatory, with blood gathering into a river of blood. As for the Pingcang County warehouse, not much material was lost.
After killing the pawn guarding the warehouse, the cavalry returned to Mingyun Township and reported the matter to Chen Ping one by one.
After hearing this, everyone at the scene glared at Zhizhou angrily.
