Chapter 903 Deception
The Jin soldiers deployed a very strict guard against the outer areas of Taiyuan City. They invested 3,000 patrol cavalry within 50 miles of Taiyuan City and formed 60 patrol teams to defend the outer areas of Taiyuan City. It is difficult to escape the monitoring of patrol soldiers when driving at night. Luo Shi's plan of crossing the sea is a bold and feasible strategy.
On the official road from Jiexiu County to Taiyuan City, a team of 200 ox carts is slowly heading north. The trucks are full of forage. In the North Camp of the soldiers, the carts and drivers were requisitioned from the people, and two hundred soldiers were escorted on both sides, all of them were soldiers of the Han army. looking ahead.
Jin Bing has established a logistics supply line between Jiexiu County and Taiyuan Prefecture, and there is an endless stream of convoys of supplies traveling to and from the official road, continuously replenishing the Jin Bing camp with food and supplies.
This forage transport team is relatively small, so there are not many guards, only 200 soldiers. If it is a large grain transport team, the guard team will exceed 1,000 people.
At this time, they were still 80 miles away from Taiyuan City. When they arrived 15 miles south of Taiyuan City, there was a split road going north, where they would turn east and then go north.
The forage on the cart was piled up like a mountain, and the two long cables fixed the forage on the cart in a cross shape. Shouted: "Go and rest by the woods!"
The soldiers walked for more than a hundred miles, and they were already exhausted. When the order to rest was issued, they all rushed to the woods.
The soldiers rushed to the woods and took off their armor and weapons one after another, wrapped them in old sheepskins, and found a dry place to sit down. The soldiers had eaten dry food on the way, and they fell asleep when they were exhausted, while the coachmen fed their own food. The donkeys gathered together, gnawed dry food while drinking, and whispered about the latest battle situation.
These coachmen are timid and cowardly ordinary people. The Jin soldiers confiscated their carts and manpower without giving them any money. They couldn't even go home to worship their ancestors during the New Year. Of course they were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to express it in front of the soldiers. Come out, for fear of causing death.
But it would be wrong to say that they don't care about the situation of the battle. After all, the situation in Hedong is related to the vital interests of each of them.
"I heard that the Jin army's attack on Taiyuan City was unfavorable. Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. Not even a hair of Taiyuan City was taken down."
"Of course, I don't even look at who is guarding Taiyuan City. When Li Dutong was guarding Taiyuan City, we were one of the 80,000 peasants. That scene was exciting! Everyone only regrets that there are too few places to work. , if I wasn’t a little older, I would be qualified to go to the city to fight.”
"Old Zhangtou also participated in the Taiyuan Defense Battle?" Everyone looked at the old man with a different look, full of respect.
The old man was a little proud: "At that time, my son and I both participated, and my son went to the city to operate the trebuchet, and I was in charge of transporting the arrow kerosene, the barrels of kerosene, and the bundles of arrows. So exciting."
The old man closed his eyes, full of memories of the good past.
"Old Zhang, tell us about the great war!"
A young man enviously said: "I heard from my parents that more than 40,000 Jinbing soldiers died in that battle, and they retreated in a disastrous defeat. I didn't know that our army can also defeat Jinbing soldiers."
"Li Dutong has never been defeated. In the two defense battles in Tokyo, the casualties of the Jin soldiers must have been 50,000 to 60,000! The city of Tokyo has never been captured."
"Hey!" The leader of the Han army yelled from a distance, "Everyone shut up, don't gather together, go to sleep!"
Everyone had no choice but to curse secretly, and each walked away.
Deep in the woods, fifty Song Army scouts had quietly arrived. They had been following the forage convoy from a distance since noon. This team was small in size and just suitable for them.
Wu Hailing waved his hand, called the two lieutenants over, and said to them in a low voice: "It's not difficult to wipe out this army, the key is not to let even one person slip through the net. You two will each bring ten brothers to lie in ambush in the north and south, and catch the fish that slipped through the net. Lead thirty brothers to fight head-on."
Both nodded, Luo Shi asked, "When will we do it?"
Wu Hailing looked up at the moonlight from the top of the tree, and said: "It's almost the first watch time, let's do it at the first watch time, you should hear the screams anyway, remember! We can’t keep a single one alive, so we should be more aggressive, otherwise we will be killed.”
"Don't worry! We know what to do."
Luo Shi and Jiao Wang each took ten soldiers to ambush outside the woods, and Wu Hailing said to the thirty soldiers, "We will attack later, and try to assassinate the sentries. By the time they find out, half of them are probably dead. At that time, if you try your best to kill them, no one will be left alive."
The way to assassinate the sentries is to cover their mouths and cut their throats. Everyone nodded together. Wu Hailing asked the soldiers to pack up their equipment to see that the time was almost up. As soon as he waved his hand, thirty soldiers followed him to the edge of the forest silently.
The soldiers have all undergone strict training, and their attacks are very vicious. Thirty people moved quickly, almost all with the same means. They stretched out their hands to cover their mouths, and slashed their throats with sharp daggers at the same time, blood spurted out, and then stood up and rushed towards The other, leaving only the man with the severed throat slowly struggling to die
In just a short moment, half of the 200 Han soldiers were killed. Finally, a few soldiers woke up and saw the terrifying scene, and couldn't help screaming.
The soldiers of the Han army woke up from their sleep and got up in panic, but waiting for them was still a ruthless and cruel killing. They didn't even need to cover their mouths. With a wave of the dagger, blood spurted from their throats. The soldiers knelt down with their throats covered. fall down.
Song Army scouts killed more than 60 people in the blink of an eye, and the remaining 30 people finally reacted and fled to the woods, but they were greeted by Song Army soldiers from the periphery who shot and killed them mercilessly.
In just a short time of burning incense, the woods became quiet, and all 200 Han soldiers were killed.
At this time, Wu Hailing quickly walked up to the two hundred coachmen, and said to a group of trembling coachmen: "We are the scouts of the Song Army under Li Dutong, and we will not harm you. I will take you into Taiyuan City and let you Get back your freedom!"
The coachmen were shocked for a while, and then they all agreed. At this time, a soldier came to report: "Qi Commander, one person is missing, and the leader of the enemy army has disappeared."
Wu Hailing was startled, this is troublesome, he ordered: "Go search in the woods, this person must not escape!"
The soldiers rushed into the woods one after another. At this moment, an old coachman coughed heavily. He looked at Wu Hailing and winked at his side. Wu Hailing's heart moved, and he followed the eyes of the old man. A tall man, about thirty years old, with a burly figure and a ferocious appearance, with a long scar on his face. I saw him looking down, and he didn't dare to look at himself from the beginning to the end, and his clothes were not right. In such a cold weather, no one would take off his clothes to sleep.
Wu Hailing stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, "Come out!"
A dagger suddenly appeared in the man's hand and stabbed fiercely at Wu Hailing's chest. Wu Hailing was already on guard, grabbed his wrist, turned around and threw the man over his head, more than a foot away.
The man struggled to get up, and several soldiers on both sides rushed up, held him down firmly, and tied him up.
Wu Hailing kicked the dagger away, squatted in front of him and said coldly: "The escaped leader should be you!"
"Let go of me, you bastard!"
Wu Hailing grabbed his collar and slapped him twice, "Take him down for interrogation, and let him taste what it's like to have cramps and skin peeled."
Crampling and skinning is the cruelest method of interrogation. There was a shrill scream from the depths of the woods. After a short while, a soldier came out and said, "Commander Qi, he confessed everything. There is no password. He passed the border with military orders and command arrows."
At this time, Wu Hailing also found the **** order arrow and the military order, so he smiled at a group of coachmen: "Let's work hard and enter Taiyuan City early!"
The coachmen went to their carts one after another. At this time, fifteen soldiers of the Song Army came to join them with three hundred donkeys. Wu Hailing asked his men to change into the uniforms and leather armor of the soldiers of the Han Army, and hid the gunpowder barrels in the Under the forage, they continued to **** the convoy carrying forage on the road overnight, heading for Taiyuan City, eighty miles away.
