Peerless Pirates

Although the yellow-faced sergeant used the back of the sword, Xin Yu still heard a dull click sound and darkness invaded Quanfang Reading. Even if the farmer did not fall into the water, his neck would probably be broken.

When the other Xixia sergeants saw that their lives were lost, they no longer had any interest in gambling anymore. They looked at each other and walked away. Xin Yu was driven back to the cabin again.

At nightfall, the ship arrived at the foot of Lantian City. The torches were brightly lit on the shore, and more than twenty sergeants were waiting there. Next to them were a hundred servants responsible for carrying grain and grass.

As soon as the ship docked, Xin Yu and others were pulled out of the cabin, and together with the servants on the shore, they loaded the food and grass into the cart. The sergeant on the ship and the sergeant on the shore seemed to be from a certain company. They knew each other and talked loudly. Smiling.

Finally, except for the four sergeants left on duty in each boat, everyone else followed to the camp. Xin Yu and other slaves pushed and pulled the cart vigorously.

Originally, the Xixia army had recruited some cattle and horses to serve as animal power for transporting grain and grass. However, due to civil strife and famine, the army lacked meat. These cattle and horses used as animal power were gradually slaughtered, and the drafters became the main force for pulling carts.

The military men did not have the consciousness to walk on their own. They sat in small groups on carts and were pulled forward by the servants. If anyone looked displeased, they would be whipped. If a servant was severely whipped He screamed and fell to the ground, causing the sergeants to burst into laughter.

Taking advantage of the chaos of unloading, Xin Yu gathered six of his men together and pulled a large cart together. They also received many whips along the way, but several of them gritted their teeth and endured.

Fortunately, there was only two or three miles from the edge of Bashui to the military camp. A quarter of an hour later, the cart entered the camp. This was close to Lantian City, and the entire camp extended from the south of Lantian City to Aoguan. The torches flickered and formed a large area. , like the stars in the sky, with no boundaries visible.

In the northwest corner of the camp, close to the city wall, there are several rows of houses and dozens of thatched huts. This is the grain and grass depot of the Xixia defenders in Yoguan. It is separated from other camps by more than three feet. 's moat.

It stands to reason that the important area of ​​grain and grass should be located in Lantian City. However, more than a month has passed, and the Qi army has never broken through the Aoguan Pass. And tens of thousands of soldiers chewed horses and chewed, which consumed a lot of grain and grass. Quartermasters went in and out of Lantian City every day , it was too troublesome. In the end, these rows of simple houses and thatched sheds were built along the wall of the south city gate to serve as warehouses.

Under the command of the Xixia sergeant, the grain and grass were moved into the warehouse. Around Xu time, all the grain was transported. The hungry servants were driven into the thatched shed. There were several large pots in front of the thatched shed, which were boiling. Coarse rice mixed with chaff. The sergeant yelled and cursed, telling the laborers to eat quickly, and then rolled into the hut to sleep.

Before the rice was cooked, all the servants rushed forward, each holding a broken bowl and broken tiles, trying desperately to grab the food. Those who were in poor health could not even eat such rough rice. Xin Yu and others also rushed forward. , relying on the physical advantage and fighting as a team, I finally had a full stomach.

It was late at night, and the camp gradually became quiet. The laborers were lying on the grass in a mess, and the fatigue of the day soon made them fall asleep. Soon, there was a sound of snoring in the hut. Some of them were grinding their teeth and sleeping. It looked messy in the quiet night.

Xin Yu and others gathered in a corner of the thatched shed and waited quietly.

"Boss, what should I do?" Yan Feng leaned into Xin Yu's ear and whispered.

"Don't panic, look at the movement." Xin Yu looked outside closely.

After observing for a while, Xin Yu said, "There are sergeants closely guarding this place. There should be two patrol teams, and they will pass by every two cups of tea. Let's do this..."

Xin Yu whispered the tactics to Yan Feng, and the two passed it on orally and laid out the entire tactics. There was no room for Xin Yu to be careless. This was the hinterland of the Xixia Army. If he were not careful, everyone would die.

After a while, a patrol team passed by the hut with torches. Xin Yu and others lay down and pretended to sleep. As soon as the team passed by, Xin Yu took off his old military uniform, crawled down, and slowly Climb towards the big stove in front of the thatched shed.

After half a cup of tea, Xin Yu went to the stove and touched the ashes. Xin Yu quickly retracted his hand. Although it was painful, Xin Yu was still overjoyed. I wonder if the Xixia soldiers were too careless. , the fire under the stove was not completely extinguished. Xin Yu discovered this just now. To destroy the opponent's food and grass, fire is impossible, and these ashes are the only source of fire they can use.

Xin Yu covered the ashes with his old military uniform, quickly gathered most of the ashes together, wrapped them up, and quickly jumped back with his waist bent.

Yan Feng and others had dug out a clear space in a corner of the hut. After Xin Yu came back, he put a bag of ashes on the ground, and the others quickly covered it with grain and grass.

The sound of grain and grass was loud, and the two laborers not far away turned over, frightening Xin Yu and others to stop in a hurry. After waiting for a while, Xin Yu and others smelled the smell of smoke, and they all felt happy. As long as there was smoke, , then the open flame will start soon.

Just here, another patrol team came over. Yan Feng and several other sergeants also took off their robes and covered them on the smoking straw. In order to suppress the smoke, Yan Feng even lay on it.

The patrol team walked to the hay shed. A sergeant in front twitched his nose and said, "Hey, it seems to smell a bit like smoke."

Xin Yu and others were startled and did not dare to move. Fortunately, another sergeant laughed and cursed, "Aren't we holding torches? Of course there is smoke."

"It doesn't seem to smell like pine oil." The sergeant sniffed twice more and looked in the direction of the hay shed.

"Stop nagging, let's go quickly. We'll do this patrol again. It's time for the changing of the guard. I'm exhausted." Another sergeant interjected.

"What are you yelling about!" The officer leading the team turned back and shouted, and the few sergeants immediately did not dare to speak anymore.

The officer stopped, looked at the big pots for a few seconds, and said with a look of realization on his face, "It was these lowly soldiers who cooked the food just now, keep going!"

In fact, as long as this officer examines the ashes under a few large pots, he will find something fishy. Unfortunately, perhaps because the shift is about to change, this team of people did not check.

The patrol team passed by. It wasn't until they were a hundred feet away that Yan Feng groaned and rolled away from the grass. A column of smoke rose up that was much thicker than before.

"Light the fire and act according to the plan!" Xin Yu shouted, and several of his men took action immediately.

As soon as the old clothes were taken away from the pile of straw, a flame burst out. Several Qi soldiers piled the straw on top, and after a while, the fire started and spread to the entire straw shed.

The servants were in a daze and woke up from being burned. I don't know who was the first to cry out: "The water has leaked! The water has leaked!"

More servants woke up and shouted.

At this time, several Daqi sergeants each held a handful of burning grain and grass and ran towards the nearby hayloft. Before the patrol team arrived, five or six haylofts were set alight. For a moment, the flames shot into the sky.

When the fire broke out, the whole camp was frightened. Not only the patrol team, but also the entire sergeant guarding the grain depot ran out of the barracks in panic and rushed toward the fire.

The patrol team arrived first, and while giving orders to put out the fire, they slashed at the running soldiers with their swords. However, hundreds of soldiers were frightened by the fire and turned into headless flies, directly killing the patrol of only 20 people. The battalion team was scattered, and even the two torches were left on the ground.

Xin Yu and Yan Feng also rushed forward and bumped into a sergeant each. They grabbed the wrist, hit the knee, grabbed the knife, and counterattacked, all in one go. Needless to say, Xin Yu's skills, everyone who came with him this time were all from the tent. Elites are all equal to ten.

After killing seven or eight people, the officers leading the patrol team discovered something fishy and shouted, "The fine work is here! The fine work is here!" Before he could finish his words, a bright light flashed, and a big good thing appeared. The head flew into the air.

The scene became even more chaotic. Even the Xixia sergeants in the patrol team began to run around, some were running away, and some were chasing the scattered servants.

Xin Yu and Yan Feng could no longer care about others. Before the large group of troops arrived, they quickly took off the slain sergeant to the bank of the moat not far away. They took off the soldier's clothes in the darkness at the bottom of the slope and replaced them with his clothes. He killed himself and finally pushed the body into the river.

When they returned to the slope, a large group of people had already arrived. Due to the rush, these Xixia sergeants were generally disheveled and the team was in a mess. However, they showed no mercy at all and started hacking at the group of servants. More There were some soldiers shouting "put out the fire", but they were helpless. The reason was that although the moat was not far away, there was a lack of water transportation tools.

Xin Yu didn't care what happened to the other brothers. He and Yan Feng also joined the "hunting" ranks. However, they were killing the sergeants who had not had time to put on their military uniforms, so they naturally shouted "The fine work is here" !”

The responsibility for losing food and fodder is extremely important! Some sergeants were confused and frightened when they heard about the fire, and some were not even fully clothed. Xin Yu and Yan Feng took special care of these people.

Even greater chaos arose. First, those in military uniforms hacked at those who were not in military uniforms. Those who were not in military uniforms were unwilling to kill and resisted with their swords raised. There were many people in the same camp who knew each other, and then there were those in military uniforms who helped. Paoze, who was wearing military uniform, stood up to others. In the end, even Xin Yu and Yan Feng were stunned.

Although Xin Yu and others had plans to burn the enemy's food and fodder, however, they thought that their success was not high, so they were determined to die, burning as much as they could and killing as many as they could. Unexpectedly, the Xixia sergeant himself It actually became chaotic.

In the chaos, someone shouted, "Blow up the camp!" The sergeants became even more panicked. Everyone was killing people blindly, not knowing who they were killing. All the sergeants' eyes were blood-red, and they were desperately hacking down the opponents in front of them. Their instinctive sense of self-protection makes them believe that the only way to survive is to kill the person in front of them.

Both Xin Yu and Yan Feng were attacked by several waves, and their bodies were covered in blood.

"Boss!" Two shirtless men rushed over. Xin Yu was overjoyed when he saw that they were two of his men.

"Quickly, change your clothes and kill over there! Burn the food!" Xin Yu knocked over a sergeant with his sword and shouted.

"We can't fall in love with fighting!" Xin Yu added another sentence, immediately picked up a torch and rushed towards the unlit grain depot.
