Chapter 724: Snowy Night Sneak Attack

The Jin soldiers fed the war with war, and they did not carry grain and grass baggage, and all the logistics supplies relied on plunder, so the Jin soldiers liked to use blitzkrieg to seize the city as quickly as possible, that is, in order to occupy the granary, which was also a reason why the Jin soldiers burned and looted after entering Hebei, they needed a lot of grain, grass, livestock and various materials to ensure the logistics supply of the army.

This time the Jin soldiers attacked the capital of the Song Dynasty, and the logistics center was placed in the Daimyo, and there were 20,000 heavy soldiers stationed, but the Daimyofu was still hundreds of miles away from Kaifeng Mansion after all, so the Jin soldiers built a temporary transit warehouse in Baimadu on the south bank of the Yellow River, and sent 3,000 soldiers to guard it.

Of course, the Jin soldiers did not have a surplus army to transport grain and work as coolies, and all the grain transporters were forcibly recruited by the Jin soldiers from various prefectures and counties in Hebei, with a total of 100,000 people, and these 100,000 young men became the logistics support team of the Jin soldiers.

On the night when the Jin soldiers arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo, a Song cavalry appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River, which was the cavalry sent by Li Yanqing to intercept the Jin soldiers' advances, led by Wang Gui and Niu Gao.

At this time, Wang Gui and more than a dozen of his subordinates looked at this military camp covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres in a forest ten miles away from the temporary warehouse of Jin Bing.

However, the Jin soldiers were very well guarded, like other nomads, the Jin soldiers were not good at building board walls, but only surrounded a circle with a camp fence, and then dug a trench, in addition to the Jin soldiers also sent hundreds of peripheral patrol posts, within ten miles, I don't think anyone could get close to the temporary warehouse, which is also the reason why Wang Gui observed the enemy warehouse ten miles away.

Wang Gui observed for a long time, and said to Yan Qing beside him: "Brother Yan, what do you think?" ”

Yan Qing also received an order from Li Yanqing to follow Wang Gui, he is currently Wang Gui's left and right deputy generals together with Niu Gao, Yan Qing said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, there are not many Jin defenders, your brother directly led the army to attack and burned down the enemy's warehouse, isn't this enough!" ”

Wang Gui squinted at the barracks for a long time, shook his head and said, "Dutong won't let me expose my strength too early, and I have to use skill to steal the camp this time." ”

Yan Qing pouted secretly, don't you understand throwing things to yourself? Although Yan Qing's pouting was very slight, she was still seen by Wang Gui, and Wang Gui suddenly said angrily: "What are you doing with pouting, you don't want to do it, just say it now!" ”

Yan Qing was so frightened that she hurriedly laughed and said, "How dare my little brother not do what your brother ordered, I will prepare and report good news to my brother before dawn." ”

Wang Gui suddenly turned his anger into joy and patted Yan Qing on the shoulder, "After the matter is completed, I will give you two credits!" ”

"Brother Gui, isn't it the first credit?" Yan Qing was a little confused.

"Of course, the first credit should belong to me, my Wang Gui has a good command!" Wang Gui couldn't help laughing.

Yan Qing was a little dumbfounded, he had never seen such a cheeky boss, he couldn't help but sneer: "Brother Gui, you are too unkind!" I will go to work hard, but the first credit will go to you. ”

"I'm joking with you, I'll report it to Dutong according to the truth and let Dutong decide, but I estimate that the two of us are half, what do you say?"

Yan Qing smiled bitterly, "Don't panic and settle accounts first, wait until I finish this vote, I won't be able to lose my life here this time." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, get to work."

The two turned their horses' heads and led their men into the woods, where they soon disappeared into the woods.

Time passed little by little, at the third watch, Yan Qing appeared in the woods before he appeared with more than 20 highly skilled subordinates, he and Wang Gui had observed for a long time, and probably understood the law of the enemy's peripheral patrol posts, and the peripheral patrol posts were also fixed posts, and there were about two golden cavalry every three hundred steps.

This is also the Jin people's patrol experience, the patrol posts are too close to each other to waste manpower, too far apart and easy to be missed by the enemy, the distance of three hundred steps is not close, as long as a patrol post shouts, other patrol posts can be heard immediately, unless the opponent's martial arts are particularly strong, it is difficult to pass the peripheral patrol level, this is indeed an effective method.

But tonight, the subordinates led by Yan Qing are the scouts of the Song army with the most advanced martial arts, whether in the water or in the mountains and forests, they can be handy.

Yan Qing was fully prepared, he did not hesitate at all, waved his hand, and led his subordinates towards the darkness.

About four or five miles away, Yan Qing turned around and waved his hand, everyone immediately lay down, Yan Qing also hid behind a big stone, staring coldly ahead, two figures appeared about a hundred steps ahead, both riding war horses, and slowly walking towards this side, the Jin people patrol will not stand still, such a cold day, if you don't move, you have long been frozen, despite this, in the cold night wind, the two patrol sentries are still frozen enough, wrap themselves tightly with a thick sheepskin mattress, and take out a sheep's wine skin bag from time to time and pour a few big mouthfuls.

Yan Qing saw that the two patrolmen were gradually approaching his side, he made a gesture to his subordinates, and everyone climbed away, leaving only Yan Qing and the two men with the strongest martial arts.

They were dressed in white coats, lying on the ground and the snow on the ground blended together, even in the daytime, it was difficult to see, not to mention that it was the third watch.

The two patrolmen muttered past them, and at this time, Yan Qing and another of his men jumped up almost at the same time, and landed lightly behind the two war horses towards the two snow geese, and at the same time, the third of them coughed heavily.

This cough immediately attracted the attention of the two patrol posts, they didn't notice for a while that there were two more Song Army scouts behind them, Yan Qing and his subordinates exchanged a look, the two of them started at the same time, covering the mouth of the Jin soldier patrol from behind, a snowy dagger swiped from their necks, and suddenly blood gushed out, Yan Qing and his subordinates immediately stabbed into the back of the patrol sentry's heart, these actions were done in one go, in the blink of an eye, the two patrol posts became two corpses, without any sound.

The corpses of the two patrolmen were covered with snow, and the two scouts changed into the armor of the Golden Soldier Patrol, mounted their horses, wrapped them in woollen mattresses, and continued to patrol the sentry in disguise, while Yan Qing led the other men to gallop towards the Golden Soldier camp.

There is also a watchtower outside the Jin Bing camp, there are sentinels visiting back and forth, Yan Qing and his men are experienced, they slow down, lie on the ground and slowly climb towards one of the watchtowers, the watchtower is also the same as the patrol tower, there is one every three hundred steps, although the watchtower can see farther, but there is also one biggest weakness, that is, the light is dark, climb under the watchtower, the sentry above is basically invisible.

Yan Qing sent one of his most skilled subordinates to climb towards the sentry tower, and the rest of the people waited two hundred steps away, and after about a quarter of an hour, Yan Qing saw that the figure on the sentry tower had disappeared, and he immediately led his subordinates to run towards the camp.

The sentries on the watchtower had been killed, and the crowd didn't need to camp the fence, they just cut off a thick wooden stake and drilled into it one after another

Wang Gui led his men to ambush in the woods ten miles away, and at the time of the fourth watch, they saw that the enemy's camp suddenly burst into flames, and the flames spread rapidly in the camp, especially the big tent where the forage was piled up.

An urgent alarm bell sounded in the barracks, and Wang Gui slammed his fist on the trunk of the tree next to him, and praised loudly: "Well done!" ”

But now is not the time to celebrate, Wang Gui immediately shouted: "Ignite!" ”

A bunch of fire was lit a few miles away from them, this is a fire that attracts the enemy, Jin Bing will definitely be attracted by this fire in the chaos, at this time Wang Gui is not worried about Yan Qing and their situation, they can easily escape in the chaos, and now Wang Gui is more concerned about an ambush arranged by himself.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, hundreds of cavalry galloped halfway from a distance, about five hundred cavalry rushed to check the firelight situation here, Wang Gui raised his hand, three thousand Song cavalry raised their cavalry crossbows, cold crossbow arrows aimed at the enemy running in the distance, when the enemy cavalry got closer and closer, and when they galloped fifty paces away, Wang Gui gave an order, "Shoot!" ”

A bang sounded, and the woods suddenly burst into flames, and three thousand dense crossbow arrows shot towards the golden cavalry fifty paces away
