Chapter 741: If the Fire Burns in the Plain

(There is a mistake in the previous text, it is Yang Xiong and not Yang Xi)

"It's him!"

In the Wuchang camp, Huang Heshan asked for help, saying that there were more than 1,000 Qin soldiers dressed up, but their arms were wrapped in white cloth, and they suddenly launched an attack on the arsenal, and Yang Xiong, who had just been promoted to general, immediately attacked the case.

"He's back!"

Xin Yi, who was invited to eat here, was stunned with a bowl: "General Yang, who is here?" ”

"Who else?"

Yang Xiong sneered: "Of course, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the Marquis of Wuzhong of Great Qin, Heifu!" ”

"Huh!?"

Xin Yi was shocked: "The general said cautiously, isn't Marquis Wu Zhong already ......"

Yang Xiong said: "Yes, he is dead, he can't see the corpse, or he cheated to death." ”

Unlike Xin Yi, the general of the Wuchang battalion in the south for a long time, Yang Xiong has been a lieutenant in the lieutenant army, and after Fusu went out, he couldn't be clearer about a series of changes in Xianyang.

In the eyes of everyone, Heifu is undoubtedly a party of Fusu, and since Fusu has fallen, coupled with the rumors of "the black who died in Qin", he will never be safe.

This time he drove south, and Yang Xiong was assigned to the command of Wuxin Hou Feng Wuxuan. Feng Wuxue secretly greeted Yang Xiong, and the court suspected that Heifu was not dead, and the Southern Expeditionary Army might rebel at any time, so he asked him to bring 5,000 Guanzhong soldiers to watch them after Li You relieved the 30,000 weapons and armor of the Wuchang battalion......

"But everyone thinks that even if Wei is not dead, he should hide somewhere in Lingnan to avoid His Majesty's summons, who would have expected that he would be so bold that he would sneak to Hengshan and Nanjun, and then suddenly attack!"

More than 1,000 elite armed forces, brazenly attacking the arsenal, this is not something that ordinary Yunmengze thieves dare to do, Yang Xiong is sure, this must have something to do with Heifu.

Yang Xiong sighed: "It is worthy of a new generation of famous generals, seeing that General Feng is stationed in Yicheng, and General Li You can't turn back in time when he goes south to Changsha, he raids my Wuchang battalion, which is really unprepared and unexpected." ”

Xin Yi was already a little flustered: "Whether it is Marquis Wu Zhonghou or not, those who attack the arsenal must be rebels!" Now that Huangheshan is in an emergency, General Yang, you should immediately send troops to help! ”

The arsenal is the most important place in a city, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes were infighting, rebelling and the people were in rebellion, and the arsenal was always the primary goal, first seizing the arsenal and obtaining armaments, in order to gain equipment advantages in battle.

The arsenal is built on the Yellow Crane Mountain, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yang Xi left a thousand people to guard, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, but it can only prevent small thieves, in the event of an elite assault, it is also a little difficult to resist, once the arsenal falls into the hands of the rebels, the armor and vehicles and arrows inside are all obtained.

After all, he was a cadre who had participated in the Unification War, Yang Xiong was very calm, and after thinking about it, he said: "General Xin, who built this Wuchang battalion?" ”

"Wu ...... Built by Marquis Wu Zhong. ”

"Who better knows the benefits of this camp than he does? In the past, I always thought it was strange to build the arsenal on Yellow Crane Mountain, which is a few miles away, but now it seems that this prince has already calculated. ”

Yang Xiong guessed Heifu's plan: "The art of war, I want to fight, although the enemy has a high base and a deep ditch, those who have to fight with me will be saved." ”

"As expected, there are more than a thousand rebels outside! Although our army has four or five thousand soldiers, we must be distracted to guard the 30,000 people in the camp, and at most send 2,000 people, I am afraid that we will encounter an ambush halfway! ”

Sure enough, when Yang Xiong ordered the scouts to explore again, he reported that on the road to Yellow Crane Mountain, the dry swamp on the south side was swollen with reeds, and sure enough, the birds did not dare to fall......

"The ambush must be there!"

Xin Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and he was afraid: "General Yang really understands the art of Marquis Wu Zhong's use of soldiers." ”

Yang Xiong shook his head helplessly: "When I destroyed Wei, I was the leader, he was the commander of my command, how could I not know?" ”

If I remember correctly, at that time, Heifu still took the path of Du Qian, the former lieutenant of Anlu County, before he was inserted into Yang Xiong's army. Who would have thought that since then, he has risen steadily and made it all the way to the top of the twentieth rank of the Marquis of Che......

What's even more unexpected is that such a prince did not respect the emperor's orders, cheated to death to avoid the summons, and finally rebelled!

"This should be the biggest general rebellion in Great Qin after Huan Qi's treason!"

Xin Yi's heart was in turmoil: "General Yang, what should I do now?" ”

Yang smiled: "What about surrendering? ”

Xin Yi was shocked: "This ...... If we become national thieves and military thieves, won't the clan and family members be implicated? ”

"It's good that General Xin knows."

Yang Xiong sneered: "Even for the sake of the clan, you can't let the other generation succeed, but now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, in order not to wipe out the whole army, the arsenal can only give up!" ”

Yang Xiong immediately decided: "Fighting the crowd is like fighting widows, the name is also, if we defend the Wuchang camp, I am afraid that we will be attacked from inside and outside, it seems that there are many people, but in fact there are few people, it is better to gather all the credible soldiers at hand, go to the dock, hold the boat, and wait for Xiakou's help!" ”

……

"Yang Xiong hasn't changed, he is still so cautious, he would rather cut off his arm than go out of the camp recklessly, and be stabbed in the heart by me."

Looking at the Wuchang camp, where the portal was closed and only the scouts kept approaching this side, Heifu smiled.

When Dongmen Leopard led more than 1,000 people to storm Huanghe Mountain, Heifu did take the remaining 2,000 people to hide in the grass, so the Wuchang battalion had to send people out to rescue, and they were caught off guard.

But Yang Xiong was not fooled.

Heifu couldn't help but think of the battle to destroy Wei more than ten years ago, he was still a small tun chief under Yang Xiong, as the son of Yang Duanhe, Yang Xiong seemed to have no opinions, and he called everyone to ask for advice every time he fought, but in fact, he was a very scheming person. He always seemed to want to deliberately let the five hundred lords who like to give advice and steal the limelight come up with some ineffective strategies, and after he was slapped in the face, Yang Xiong stood up again and put forward what he thought.

In this way, on the one hand, he can be praised for being good at listening to his subordinates. On the other hand, every time he can make a decision at a critical moment and reverse the wrong strategy.

And this person is worthy of being born in Jiangmen, and he has a very thorough understanding of the art of war.

"But are you looking ahead and being too cautious?"

People are not fooled, and there is no need for Heifu to hide anymore.

"In that case, execute the second set of plans!"

With the beating of a horn and drum, more than 2,000 people in the grass rose in response, all of them wrapped white scarves around their arms, after rest and several encouragements, they no longer doubted, and after the black man gave an order, they went to the Yellow Crane Mountain arsenal to kill!

……

Yellow Crane Mountain was originally called Snake Mountain, was renamed by Heifu, the arsenal has been repaired from the foot of the mountain to the halfway mountainside, this mountain is not high, only more than 40 zhang, the mountain is not steep and dangerous, it is mid-spring, the mountain is full of green.

There were still some resident birds in the mountains and forests, but they had already been frightened by the fierce battle, and the sound of their cries cut through the silence.

For the guards of the arsenal, this battle was unexpected, seeing that the Qin army coming from the opposite side was clearly a clear banner, the commander was still a little hesitant, who expected that the other party shouted in his mouth to hand over, but after approaching, he suddenly launched an attack!

Of course, the garrison of the arsenal was the Qin soldiers in Guanzhong, the armor was well-equipped, and the combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the Chu army and the Yue people, but it was the evening eclipse, and most of the soldiers were eating, and they were caught off guard and attacked, so they could only pick up arms indiscriminately to fight. As a result, the other party rushed halfway up the mountain in one go, hundreds of people were killed or captured, and the rest could only rely on the last wall to resist.

Dongmen Leopard has not had the opportunity to wear a strong stick for a long time since he became a lieutenant, and now with the permission of Heifu, he put on thick double armor, held a halberd, and led 500 people to attack the camp and pull out the village, and was about to rush into the last barrier, but was fired by a fierce crossbow shot.

It is a crossbow, the arsenal is fully equipped, the crossbows used by dozens of Zhang Shi are strong crossbows, which can shoot more than 100 steps away, dozens of thick crossbows are off the string like electricity, and in an instant, they are outside the base, and hundreds of arms and crossbows immediately follow, falling like rain, and all of them fall to the ground!

The first to arrive could only hide behind the building, and even so, the sound of the crossbow machine nailing to the wall could still be heard.

"If you keep shooting, you can even shoot down the wall, which is not easy to rush."

Dongmen Leopard licked his lips and looked to the left and right.

At that time, when the arsenal was being built, two trails were opened on both sides of the road to lead to the top of the mountain. Now he has Ling Xing and Wu Chen each brought a team of 100 people and touched it from the side, but there are still hundreds of guards left, and it is impossible for them to break through easily.

At this moment, the 2,000 people led by Heifu also arrived at the foot of the mountain, and a red dragon sword and a banner with the word "Wei" in white characters on a black background were displayed!

Two thousand people shouted in unison:

"The traitors in the DPRK and China plotted rebellion and killed His Majesty, and the Marquis of Wuzhong returned to Jing after His Majesty's edict, and those who resist are regarded as rebellious, and those who surrender will not die!"

The stubborn officials on the top of the mountain were stunned, thinking that they were attacked by a group of thieves pretending to be the Qin army, but now, the other party has played the banner of the dead Marquis of Wuzhong, and claims to have come to Jingjing to quell the rebellion?

Is it true? Is it fake?

After a long time, you became a rebel?

The guards were suspicious in their hearts, and the bows and arrows stopped for a while, and when they saw this moment, the two hundred people on the mountain roads on both sides suddenly shouted, or they held bows and crossbows and shot condescendingly, or they jumped directly down the steep slopes regardless of the height of two or three zhang!

And the Dongmen leopard also suddenly burst out, and the halberd in his hand was thrown violently, killing a crossbowman who was about to shoot arrows after covering the fortress, and then ran forward with a spear, leading everyone straight to the wall!

The guards in the wall were busy fighting with the people who jumped down from the top of the mountain, the gate was split open by a big axe, and the violent tiger at the east gate screamed and killed, stabbed the spear into the chest of a Qin official, and drew the knife in his hand, slashing left and right, and saw that there was no white sleeve on his arm, he slashed down, and put down four or five people in a blink of an eye. The rest of the short guards also followed him, slashing forward as if they were in a no-man's land......

In skirmishes, the effect of one's courage is great, the guards are terrified and overwhelmed, and the people under the command of Heifu know what they are fighting for. In a short time, the Yellow Crane Mountain arsenal, which is located halfway up the mountain, is about to be lost.

But the commander of the guard arsenal was a dutiful man, and in the face of this group of "rebels", he made a right choice at the last moment.

Covering his bleeding wounds, he took the last few people and retreated to the highest beacon tower.

Ignoring the wound, the chief took out the flint he had brought with him, trembling and clumsily striking it.

P-p, p-p, p-p, three sounds, finally, the spark appeared, jumped onto the flammable straw, quickly turned into a flame, and passed on to several pine torches......

"He is a rebel, even if he speaks flatteringly, we must not rebel and make the family members in Guanzhong suffer!"

The unknown captain glanced at the few guards, and everyone nodded, and threw the fire into the pyre in the corner of the wall as the banging on the door grew louder......

The flames grew larger on the pyre, jumped up the pillars, the beams, and finally set the whole watchtower on fire!

With a terrible scream, the flames bloomed on the watchtower, illuminating the corner of the night, and the huge fire candle could be seen within a radius of dozens of miles!

……

"General Yang, look!"

A few miles away in the Wuchang battalion, Yang Xiong summoned the 4,000 soldiers he brought, as well as 1,000 short guards from Xinyi, and the group left 30,000 veterans of the Southern Expeditionary Army who were still kept in the dark and evacuated from the north gate of the Wuchang camp.

Summoned by the guards, Yang Xiong turned around and saw the flames burning on the Yellow Crane Mountain in the distance......

"Zheng is long, it's really good. Even if you can't burn all the weapons, armor, and arrows in the arsenal, at least, you can immediately notify Xiakou on the other side of the river of the news of the attack on the Wuchang battalion......"

The Xiakou garrison came only a few days ago, and although there were only three thousand, it was better than nothing.

There were tears in Yang Xiong's eyes, but then they turned cold again.

"It reminded me that although we have to concentrate our forces and surrender the docks, we can't just leave!"

He turned his head and looked at the camp where 30,000 people were stationed, and gave a crazy order!

"Ignite the fire and burn the Wuchang battalion, along with the 30,000 people inside!"

Xin Yi was almost so frightened that he fell off his horse: "General Yang, this is 30,000 people, all of them are Qin pawns!" ”

Yang Xiong scoffed: "Most of them are Jianghuai Chu people, what kind of Qin people are they?" ”

"And after a while, he will no longer be a soldier of the court, but a thief."

Yang Xiong's face was a little hideous:

"Even if you can't burn them, I'd rather let these 30,000 people flee in all directions and become dead and remnants of bandits, rather than let their generation rebel here!"

……

"Look, Prince!"

Dongmen Leopard and the others were still counting the weapons in the arsenal, asking the soldiers to change their outfits and replenish their arrows, but Wu Chen, who saw it, pointed to the Wuchang camp in the distance and shouted loudly.

"I see it."

Heifu stood at the foot of the Yellow Crane Mountain, the fire of the guard tower behind him was not extinguished, and the Wuchang camp in the distance had a bigger flame!

The fire was burned from the northern part of the camp, and even though the design and structure were reasonable, the camps were at a certain distance, and there were even fireproof ravines, but because they were lit by man, they still spread to some camps.

The huge barracks, screaming and screaming endlessly, red fire, yellow fire, orange fire, like bouquets, blooming in the night sky, competing with each other to bloom, anyway, there is no one to guard, people are constantly fleeing from the barracks, confused and looking around.

"It's really ruthless, this fire, of course, can't burn all 30,000 people to death, but it's enough for them to panic and flee in all directions, even if I go over at this moment, it's good to be able to collect half of it......"

Heifu shook his head: "Yang Xiong, I still despise you!" ”

"General, what now?" Wu Chen was a little anxious, and the fire disrupted their plans.

"It's useless."

Heifu got on the horse: "Yang Xiong thought that what he lit was a fire that burned away the danger and was used to remedy it, but as everyone knows, it was playing with fire and immolating himself!" ”

He laughed in the firelight.

"Now, there is no need for the generals to agitate, for the 30,000 veterans of the Southern Expeditionary Army, who regards them as grass mustard, who cherishes them like children, who wants to kill them, who will save them, it is clear!"

With that, Hefu shouted:

"Oyster, raise the flag."

"No!"

The big man of five hundred lords struggled to carry the banner of the black man, and the hundred guards, also riding the horses they had taken from the arsenal, guarded the left and right of the black man.

Heifu urged the horses and led them to the place where the flames were the strongest, to the place where people's hearts were most flustered and overwhelmed!

"Come with me."

"Let everyone be gathered under my banner again!"

"Go and take this fire, and hold it high, so that the whole world can see it! The first righteousness has begun, and it will be like a fire in the original, and it will not be turned away! ”
