  Chapter 914 Jiexiu Attacks

The Jinbing logistics camp in Jiexiu County originally had 10,000 troops stationed here. The Han troops dispatched by Wan Yanchang from all over the East Road, after the arrival of Wanyan Xieye's army, another 10,000 Jin soldiers were stationed here. The new Jin soldiers are dominated by the Yandi Han army.

Although the Yandi Han army and the Hedong Han army are both Han Chinese, with the same language and appearance, they look down on the Han army from the bottom of their hearts. They think that they are Liao people, and their old country was destroyed. They had no choice but to become subjects of the Jin country. The Han army is clearly the Song army and has its own country, but surrendered to a foreign race, willing to be an eagle dog, which is disgusting.

  It is for this reason that the Han army in Yandi and the Han army in Hedong are clearly separated, and they will never communicate with each other, and the boundary line is very clearly drawn.

After Yan Qing came back from Shangdang County, he changed his name to Lu Qing, joined the Hedong Han Army through connections, and became a corps leader. The following five people were all under his scout battalion. As usual, he came to the Jiaohe Tavern in the county seat. One of the bartenders in this tavern was his subordinate, who was responsible for delivering news to Taiyuan City.

  Yan Qing found a corner seat and sat down. After a while, the bartender hurried up to say hello, "What would you like to eat, Mr. Jun?"

   "A jug of wine, a few side dishes, two plates of meat, nothing else."

  The bartender gave him a wink, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jun, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon!"

  The bartender turned and left. Yan Qing knew from the bartender's eyes that there must be important news today.

Not long after, the bartender brought him food and wine, and there was a note under the plate, with only two words on it, 'Shaoying', Yan Qing recognized at a glance that it was Du Tong's handwriting, and he felt excited , finally waited until this moment.

  Burning the camp certainly does not refer to burning the military camp, but to burning the logistics camp. Yan Qing has been planning for a long time and is waiting for the final order.

  Yan Qing drank a few glasses of wine, then put the knife on the table casually, got up and left, not far away, the bartender chased after him, "Master Jun, go slowly, you forgot your knife."

   "Look at my memory, I actually forgot the guy who was eating."

  He took the knife, and it became lighter obviously. The bartender gave him a wink, Yan Qing understood, took the knife and walked away.

Back at the barracks, Yan Qing said hello all the way, and soon came to his tent, he looked outside, then took down the knife for a closer look, this kind of knife is the straight knife used by ordinary soldiers, almost exactly the same as his knife , but the handle of the knife was obviously much lighter. Yanqing pulled out the handle, and there was a long empty tube inside, and there were three small flint locks with extremely exquisite workmanship. Like a lighter, you can light the fire with one hand, which is very convenient to use.

This is because Yan Qing arranged for his subordinates to customize this special knife a long time ago, and it is also because the logistics warehouse is extremely guarded, and you must be strictly searched three times before you are allowed to enter. It is impossible to get in with flint. Make a fuss.

  In the afternoon, a subordinate came to report: "I made an agreement with Ma Laowu and the others, we will be on duty for them tonight, and we will change them back next time!"

Yan Qing nodded. It will be their turn to be on duty for ten days later. I'm afraid it's too late. It's better to do it tonight. Yan Qing is also a vigorous and resolute person. There was no order before, so he can only wait and endure. Now take When he received the order from the capital, he immediately started.

   "Go get them all back, let's discuss it!"

Yan Qing and the others were on duty tonight in the second half of the night, and it was also from the third watch to dawn. Before the third watch, Yan Qing led five men to the camp of the warehouse group, and there were five hundred other people who came with him. They are all soldiers on duty in the second half of the night.

The warehouse group was originally one, but since the arrival of the Han army from Yanshan Prefecture, it has been divided into the South District and the North District. Fence, the two armies perform their own duties and do not communicate with each other.

  There are three sentry posts at the gate of the warehouse camp, and the three sentry posts must be searched. Except for weapons, no items are allowed to be brought in. As for carrying objects that ignite, once seized, it is a capital offense.

After a rigorous search, Yan Qing and five of his men entered the warehouse camp. The warehouse camp covers an area of ​​about 300 acres and consists of 200 warehouses of various kinds. There have always been warehouses here, not temporary tents. It is not a large camp, but a wooden structure. Yanqing and the others are in charge of guarding the southern area, which is the grain and grass depot. Five hundred people are in charge of the perimeter, and another five hundred people are in charge of patrolling the warehouse.

  Yan Qing stayed here for almost two months, and she already knew the warehouse thoroughly. They were responsible for guarding the No. 7 and No. 8 hay warehouses. After entering the post, the six people began to act quickly.

Yan Qing used a spare key to open the small door of the No. 7 warehouse, and everyone entered the warehouse. The bundles of grass in the warehouse were piled up like hills. They had basically never been used since the war began. A large bluestone slab, digging the soil on it, reveals a large box underneath, with more than a dozen kerosene bags in it. They prepared this a month ago. At that time, the warehouse had not yet been divided into the south area and the north area. Get oil from the inside.

Everyone carried fire oil bags on their backs, and each person had three bags of thirty catties. Yan Qing distributed three flint locks to the people, and said to them: "We will split up and gather at the fence after lighting the fire. Everyone, move quickly. , in case of abnormal situations, we must deal with them decisively.”

  Everyone nodded together, and the six immediately divided into three teams, with two in one team, and the six left separately.

Because it is operated by internal soldiers, they are very familiar with the situation of the army. The general morale of the Han army is low, the morale of the army is low, and the patrol system in the warehouse is useless. Yan Qing knows that after the duty is handed over, the soldiers will find a place to sleep. Patrolling in the group, anyway, there are troops guarding the outside, so it doesn't matter if there are soldiers patrolling inside.

A quarter of an hour later, the No. 1 warehouse in the south was the first to catch fire. It was also a forage warehouse. The fire inside the warehouse was unknown, but thick smoke billowed out from the warehouse. Immediately afterwards, the second warehouse also caught fire, almost one after another. Later, more than forty warehouses in the south caught fire one after another, and the fire spread rapidly. Under the strong southerly wind at night, the fire quickly became one piece, and the wooden buildings were like adding fuel to the fire, and were quickly engulfed by the fire. .

'when! when! when! ’ The alarm sounded throughout the warehouses, and groups of soldiers rushed from the barracks and quickly joined the firefighting team.

  At this time, the three warehouses in the north warehouse were also set ablaze. This is the kerosene warehouse.

Twenty thousand gold soldiers were in a mess, roaring and scolding everywhere, figures running in the dark, pouring pots of water on the warehouse, like a cart full of water, it didn't do anything at all, thousands of soldiers were concentrating on rescuing the two northernmost warehouses. There are 20,000 shi of grain stored in the grain depot. This is the only warehouse that is not on fire, but the fire will spread at any time. Sooner or later, these two warehouses will be engulfed by the fire. Rescuing the grain of these two warehouses is almost the only one that Jinbing currently has. matter of meaning.

At this time, Yan Qing and five of his subordinates had already quietly left the warehouse while taking advantage of the chaos. They took off their military uniforms and ran to the field. They could not stay any longer. After dawn tomorrow, the soldiers on duty would be severely punished by the Jin soldiers, so it was better for them to go .

In this fire, all the 300,000 shi of grain and 200,000 dans of fodder stored by Jin Bing in the logistics camp in Jiexiu County were completely burned, including 20,000 barrels of kerosene and many armor tents. On the evening of the next day, the news reached Taiyuan.
