Chapter 55: Burning the Company

"How come there are so many old and weak?" Zhu Li was surprised.

"Reporting to the governor, the young and strong people were hired by local clans and gentry, and these people who could not bear the shoulders and hands could not be held were eliminated." The warrior dared not hide it, and reported it to the truth.

When Zhu Li heard this, she frowned and finally sighed helplessly: "When they finish drinking the porridge, take them all back."

When Ya Bing heard this, he hesitated for a while, and finally bowed: "Governor, our food and grass are collected from the Yiting granary according to the number of guards. Suddenly, there are so many refugees, so it is probably difficult to collect the food and grass."

Zhu Li glanced at him and naturally knew what he was worried about. However, it was not done by a real man if he refused to save him. Moreover, he was once a member of the refugees, so he naturally knew the sufferings of these people.

However, the worries of subordinates are not unreasonable. The imperial court's rewards are only written, such as food and supplies, and they have to rely on their own local materials. Fortunately, the order is in hand.

Fuping's granary is not Zhu Li alone. He cannot use it without restrictions. The food to help these refugees naturally have to be squeezed out of the food from the Shuozhou Army. Even so, Zhu Li still decided to rescue the refugees to the end. They all, both young and old, were placed in the Daying in the north of the city for easy care.

This made Wang Chongying and Li Xiaochang feel sarcastic. Zhu Li turned a deaf ear to this. How could a martial artist know that the people are the foundation of the country? The people's hearts are the will of heaven. Without people, there is no country.

Of course, Zhu Li also selected 600 strong men from the refugees and added them to the guards, instructing Zhou Dewei to train hard and manage the food rations.

Jing Ming, the filial son who is worth mentioning, actually possesses a good martial arts. Jing Ming is very famous in the Jingnan area and is known as Jing Yidao. He did not tell the truth to Zhu Li. In fact, Qin Yan's rampage was real. He was not an ordinary poor man who was injured. Instead, he assassinated several generals and schools under Qin Yan. He was wanted by Qin Yan, so he had to escape here with his mother on his back.

Of course, Zhu Li didn't know about this news. He just treated Jing Ming as an ordinary refugee. After the doctor cured Jing Ming's injuries, he went to Zhu Li's army and became an ordinary guard.

The one who found that he had good martial arts skills was Zhou Dewei. When the army was running for Huo Chang with its strength, Zhou Dewei discovered the difference between Jing Ming. His martial arts was not like a battlefield, but like a world of martial arts. Once he fought with him closely, it would be very difficult to deal with within five steps. Dozens of old soldiers, Huo Chang was defeated by him.

This discovery made Zhou Dewei very happy and made an exception to promote him to the team leader.

Zhu Li naturally had no time to take care of these things. He has been considering the issue of military rations. Relying on saving alone is not only unfavorable to the refugees, but also unfavorable to the guards under his command. Now he is fighting attrition with the Cao Army, and Zhu Li can't afford it. He is ready to take the initiative to attack without waiting for the enemy to attack the city. Since he decided to take the initiative, he naturally needs to be prepared.

In advance, he collected countless fine wines in the name of prohibiting brewing in Fuping City, and even sent people to disguise themselves from the city to nearby prefectures and counties to collect more fine wines in the name of the government.

Then he continued to send people to pretend to be a clan and squire from nearby prefectures and counties to reward the Cao Army. The Cao Army had never experienced such a battle. Shangrang and Wang Chongyin suddenly experienced this kind of courtesy and was flattered. After checking, he found that all the wine, chickens and ducks were fine, so he accepted it without hesitation.

The wine was delivered one after another, and dozens of batches were delivered

The aroma of wine filled the entire Caojun camp. Zhu Li had already learned about the locations where the wine was piled up and the distribution of Caojun camps through careful work.

The 23rd day of the first lunar month, midnight.

Zhu Li and Meng Juehai led the Ya soldiers and Yue cavalry, a total of 4,800 people set out at night and rushed to the Cao Army camp.

Wang Chongying and Li Xiaochang stood at the top of the south city, their expressions flashed. The two of them agreed with Zhu Li that as long as Zhu Li could set off a fire among the Cao army, they would agree to send troops to attack the Cao army, otherwise they would not be allowed to negotiate.

Before the first month of the year, the weather was cold and the grass army's outpost was curled up on the sentry tower, occasionally standing up and stomping their feet, as if they were not worried that the coalition forces would come to attack. As long as this month, the weather would warm up, they would start to attack the city.

A feather arrow passed through the night, quietly and quickly shot his forehead. He didn't even have time to exclaim, and he hung his head weakly, afraid he would never stand up again in his life.

Zhu Li took the lead, waved her double-edged spear and rushed towards the Cao Jun gate. With Meng Juehai, who was accustomed to guns, each of them tried to fly the two gates. With Cao Jun's surprise attack, he rushed into the Cao Jun camp.

The sudden attack of the coalition forces, and the choice was before the first month of the year, was expected by the army.

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the alarm gong of Cao Jun's camp "Dang, Dang, Dang..." suddenly rang continuously. Several Cao Jun patrol guards attacked with their swords while shouting loudly: "Enemy attack, the enemy attack, the coalition forces attacked the camp."

"Not good, I'm leaving the water, and the coalition forces have attacked the camp."

......

Countless grass army guards heard the sound and immediately rushed out from all directions. However, Zhu Li and Meng Juehai were not interested in fighting, and they seemed to be eager to grab the road and rush forward.

Among the Cao Army, the generals who rushed up and intercepted the two were no ones. In addition, Zhu Li and Meng Juehai seemed to be very familiar with the distribution of the Cao Army camp. When they were galloping on their horses, their goals were very clear.

The direction of the Rider was where the wine was piled up. Whenever he rushed to a place where the wine was piled up, Zhu Li would rush forward with a horse, swung the steel spear, and rolled over the grass guards who came out of the railing. The spear swung again, and a spear hit the wine jar with all its strength. The sound of "clang" suddenly erupted, causing countless hops.

Meng Juehai, behind him, also swept several jars of fine wine. The wine flowed everywhere and instantly filled the ground. The countless cyclists behind him rode their horses and picked up the wine jar and ran all the way. The water and wine poured all over the ground. In the chaos, the fragrance of wine was everywhere and the water flowed all over the ground.

Zhu Li kept working hard, and a stronghold piled with fine wine was destroyed. Without hesitation, she immediately rushed to the next one. The sprint was too rapid and too sudden. No one expected that the coalition forces attacked the camp in the middle of the night, which seemed to be specifically for destroying fine wine, which made them confused for a while.

In dozens of places where fine wine is piled up, most of them were destroyed by Zhu Li and his men in less than half of the incense. The Cao Army camp is now almost full of wine, and the fragrance of wine is floating.

After Wang Chongyin, who had just been dressed in neatly, walked out of the tent, smelled the aroma of wine, frowned, and shouted loudly: "What's the situation? Could it be that it's not an enemy attack, but someone gathered to drink heavily?"

A grass army school immediately bowed and replied: "General, the coalition forces' attack came suddenly and very strange, they

There was no attack on the guards of the camp everywhere, as if they were specially designed to destroy fine wine.”

"Specially for destroying fine wine? Are the fine wines sent by nearby clans and gentry some time ago?" Wang Chongyin was suspicious.

“It’s right”

Wang Chongyin seemed to have suddenly thought of something, his expression was pale in an instant, and he suddenly shouted: "No, stop him quickly."

Most of the guards around were unknown, but they immediately thought of a possibility and immediately exclaimed: "With wine as firewood, do they want to burn the camp?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could no longer calm down. The confused expression suddenly disappeared, and their expressions were shocked.

Some time ago, the gentry and clans from nearby prefectures and counties sent a large number of wine. In the whole first month, you will send these people. I will appear in a constant stream of time and in large numbers. There are dozens of places in the camp where the wine is piled up. If all of them are destroyed, the wine will be thrown away, and most of the camp will be filled with wine.

But is it still too late? Just as the senior officials of the Cao Army figured out the harm, Zhu Li continued to destroy three more. The wine was piled up everywhere. Before the wine was completely destroyed, Zhu Li felt that it was almost done. She ordered arson without hesitation. The fire suddenly rose and spread instantly. Following the wet ground of the wine, the fire was like a fire dragon dancing wildly, flowing in the camp. As Yueqi continued to set fire, several fire dragons gathered together, and instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. In a moment, almost one-third of the Cao Army camp was flooded by this fire.

The intelligent guards in the grass army immediately went to flee the water to put out the fire, and even the intelligent fire chiefs, the team immediately organized the guards to put out the fire. However, the fire burned with the wine, they smashed the clear water that had finally been transported from the ice cave and poured it on it. Not only did they not block the fire, but they further encouraged the spread of the fire, and there was a tendency to become more and more intense.

The cold night, the sea of ​​fire, shouts, galloping horses, chaos, swords and guns, instantly formed a picture of attacking the enemy camp at night. God seemed to have also become stubborn at this time. The wind suddenly blew, and the fire became even more arrogant and surging.

Taking advantage of the other party's hustle and bustle, Zhu Li continued to destroy almost all the places where the wine was piled up, and then headed straight to the Cao Army's grain and grassland, the southwest granary, and the granary. Naturally, there were powerful generals stationed in the guards. Several Cao Army generals did not say a word, and slapped the horse and robbed them and attacked fiercely.

"The thief died."

"Come on your own."

......

But before they could hear their voices, they saw only a silver screen, a flash of lightning, and with a dazzling light, rushing into their attack range.

Zhu Li swung his spear on his head, killing the gods, and killing the Buddhas. With Meng Juehai assisted from the side, several generals guarding the warehouse, in an instant, a long soldier escaped and threw his body away. With the blood of the sky like rain, he threw it over the sky, and was particularly cool under the light of the fire.

The Yueqi of Shuozhou rushed into the Caojun granary, and Zhu Li ordered another fire without hesitation. The fire instantly swept across the entire southwest granary. The wind was cold and the fire became stronger. The entire granary, and the cup of tea was flooded by the fire.
