Chapter 367 Great Victory(1/2)
This siege battle was unexpected for the bandits, so failure was inevitable.
Faced with the extremely fierce Huaili army, the bandits retreated step by step and rushed to the south gate to escape. As for the bandits on the city wall, they didn't even think about jumping over the wall and ran away, but were thrown and screaming in tears, and the mob showed their posture.
Huailijun did not deliberately stop the escape from his life. He could cut one by one, but now he was chasing and killing, as if hunting. They never thought they would be so easy, so the more they cut, the easier it was. Some people even made casual moves when chopping and slashing.
There were still a few masters among the bandits. They were limited in damage from laxatives, but as soon as they stood up, they were suppressed by Du Yong.
Du Yong not only used a knife, but also used a toothpick. When he was in a state of interest, he would pick up a door panel and smash it randomly. He was very irritable and no one could resist it.
Yang Jin and Pin Yuren were looking for a killing, and they patrolled around and rushed up to beat him when they saw a good man. As a result, no one dared to support the bandits.
The battle of more than 2,000 people lasted less than half an hour, leaving behind corpses on the ground.
Seeing the last few bandits fleeing from the south gate, Nie Wentao raised his sword and issued an order: "No need to pursue, close the door."
After the south gate was closed again, Nie Wentao ordered again: "Simply bandage the wound and count the damage to the war."
The battle started in the big square in the middle, covering several surrounding streets, so it is quite convenient to count them.
Not long after, there was a report: "Mr. Hui County Magistrate, I was killed forty-six of my Huaili army and killed more than 1,200 bandits."
Nie Wentao's face was calm and he ordered: "Contain the bones of the brothers and take a rest."
The subordinates responded to their orders and started doing things.
Pinyuren said excitedly: "Young Master, although I have lost some manpower, the overall results are very good!"
Du Yong sighed: "I actually ran away for more than 800 times. These gangsters are very good at running for their lives."
Yang Jin analyzed: "The main reason is that the South Gate is not closed. In fact, it is right to not close. It gives the bandits hope to escape. Otherwise, we will never lose only this little bit of the battle between trapped beasts."
Du Yong came to Nie Wentao and said in a deep voice: "Sir Nie, there is not much time, so you have to make an idea as soon as possible."
Nie Wentao was stunned: "The city has been taken back, what else can I do?"
Du Yong rolled his eyes: "Don't you think this city can be defended, do you?"
Nie Wentao subconsciously asked: "Can't you keep it?"
Du Yong spread his hands: "Don't you think about it calmly? Tong Guozhi and Jiang Hanming still have 4,000, and we only have more than 150 left. We are not even satisfied with the city wall. What defense should we use?"
Nie Wentao was just immersed in the excitement of recapturing the city. After calming down, he realized that Du Yong was right.
Tong Guozhi and Jiang Hanming also had 4,000 bandits. As long as they came back, they could easily take Huaili City away.
Nie Wentao said sutraily: "What should you do in your opinion?"
Du Yong had an idea: "Take all the fine and soft materials, burn all the food and equipment, and destroy the houses near the county government. Just leave an empty shell for the children to pass by."
Nie Wentao looked puzzled: "Did all the food be burned?"
Du Yong had thought about loading some food in the auxiliary warehouse before, but unfortunately there was no room left. He shrugged: "If you can summon the transportation team under General Manager Nie from the air, then just pretend I didn't say it."
Nie Wentao felt a pity. Yang Jin had told him before that the two warehouses in the north of the city had a lot of food.
When he arrived in the north of the city and opened the granary, Nie Wentao looked at bags of grain, piled up with his mouth twitching.
Yang Jin also felt a pity: "If we have time and space, we will transport them all away, which will greatly enhance the confidence of General Manager Nie. What is most heartbreaking is that the villages near Huaili City are all empty, and it is not enough to give them to the people."
Pinyuren sighed: "If I had known it would be so easy, I should have applied to General Manager Nie for a transportation team."
Du Yong picked up a sack from the ground, ignited the heat, and said lightly: "I didn't know that before, only now, I'll hurry up and light the fire and burn it all."
Seeing Du Yong so resolutely, Nie Wentao returned to his former calmness and shouted: "Light up!"
Du Yong turned his head and ordered Yang Jin and Pin Yuren: "You two, take people to the Equipment Warehouse and County Government to see if there is any fine and softness, use them all.
Put the sack on.”
There are some fine and soft things, but not many. They mainly consist of broken silver and copper plates, and only contain a few sacks.
However, there were some goods in the corpses of the bandit soldiers. A lot of small silver notes and jewelry were found, and all of them were bagged.
After the fire broke out in the granary, everyone added fire to it, and the fire soon became huge.
According to Du Yong's instructions, the county government and nearby houses should also be tinkered with, and the furniture door panels and tiles were demolished randomly. Even if it was not demolished, it would be considered qualified.
Nie Wentao was ruthless and simply smashed the south gate and the north gate. The east gate and the west gate escaped because they were covered with sand and gravel.
Yang Jin looked at the hot demolition army and couldn't help but smile and said, "No matter how you look, it looks like a bandit entering the city!"
Du Yong sighed: "I am not happy to do such destruction, but if I don't demolish it now, I will only give up the bandits."
The restaurant kitchen was last removed. I had a good meal before the demolition, and of course the water was made from other places.
The busy work is over, it is already dusk.
With a few sacks of fine and softness, ashes of the brothers who died in battle, he left the city from the North Gate.
I came and went in a hurry, as if I had a dream.
Nie Wentao turned around and stopped, looked at the thick smoke in the city, and murmured: "I will be back sooner or later!"
Du Yong came to him: "Feizi Camp will soon be in chaos, and Mu Feixiong will definitely hate us to the core, so let's hurry up and run back to the military camp of General Nie. You will report it then, remember to say it more exciting and exciting, no problem, right?"
Nie Wentao knew that Du Yong was giving him the opportunity to perform, so Zheng nodded in a key position.
Pinyuren asked, "Young Master, do you want to notify Lord Qu?"
Du Yong shook his head: "Time is tight, so you don't need to give it to the spy. When Lord Qu finds out, he will definitely run back to Lord Nie's military camp with all his might."
Qu Yixiong knew that something happened in Huaili City was in the middle of the night, and it was not what the spy told him, but what he guessed, because Tong Guozhi and Jiang Hanming suddenly stopped chasing and took people hurried back toward Huaili City.
"It seems that Nie Wentao and Du Yong have done a big thing, and it is very likely that they have secretly burned the bandits' granary, otherwise Tong Guozhi and Jiang Hanming would not have been in such a hurry to rush back."
This is Qu Yixiong's original words, a very reasonable guess.
"really!"
Liang He nodded in agreement and asked, "Mr. Qu, then we are now?"
Qu Yixiong thought for a while; "Hold Tong Guozhi and Jiang Hanming from afar, go over and take a look."
I met a spy halfway through, and Qu Yixiong hurriedly asked for information.
The spy was panting, but his expression was very excited, and he couldn't help but dance: "Great victory, Lord Qu, great victory!"
Qu Yixiong took off the water bag and handed it to the spy, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, just say it slowly."
The spy took the water bag, finished a few gulps, wiped his mouth, and said seriously: "Mr. Nie County led his troops into Huaili City, killed more than a thousand bandits, and then set fire to the city. The granary and instrument depot were all finished, and even the South and North Gate were smashed to pieces."
With Qu Yixiong's calmness, after hearing this outrageous news, he was stunned on the spot.
As for the others, they immediately cheered.
Zhao Dezhu was full of excitement and pulled the spy and shouted: "How did County Magistrate Nie do it?"
Everyone wanted to ask this question, and they looked at the spy, waiting for the answer.
The spy explained: "About night, I saw thick smoke rolling from afar. When I got closer, I found that the north gate was wide open. At that time, I plucked up the courage to go in and checked, and found that there were fires everywhere, and the square in the middle was full of the corpses of bandits. Because I couldn't find a living person, I saw the general situation and rushed back, and I ran back all the way."
Everyone was stunned.
What is going on?
Liang He asked, "Then how do you judge that it was done by County Magistrate Nie?"
The spy smiled and said, "Because I saw a lot of sparse stools on the street, and there were also many people pulling their crotch in the corpse. Didn't Du Qiwei prepare laxatives before, but I think the medicine was successful."
Zhao Dezhu slapped his thigh: "That boy Du Yong sneaked into the city and poured laxatives into the well. That's what happened."
Everyone was ridiculous and felt ridiculous.
The Beijing Masters Team is strong, but they are chased like dogs by Tong Guozhi and Jiang Hanming.
The Huaili Army has an average strength, but it can directly overturn the city through such naive means.
But success is good. Qu Yixiong was very pleased and ordered: "Don't follow me anymore. Find a place to rest for one night. Go back to the barracks tomorrow morning. Maybe you will meet Nie Wentao and Du Yong on the way."
…………
Du Yong chewed the jerky meat and hummed Zhu Bajie carrying his wife, walking in the middle of the team, leisurely.
It was already early the next morning, with bright sunshine and eyes shining on the small paths in the mountains, which was very warm.
Having completed the task, I felt very relaxed naturally, and everyone in Huailijun was like this.
As for the death of many brothers, although everyone is sad, this kind of thing is inevitable. There is no one who will die in war. Just take their ashes back to their families and give them more pensions.
Although you are in a relaxed mood, you still have to pay attention to safety.
At Nie Wentao's suggestion, the team tried to walk towards the remote mountain road to prevent Tong Guozhi from chasing him because of his anger and anger.
In fact, Tong Guozhi is not angry because of anger, but an explosion of mentality.
When he returned to Huaili City, Tong Guozhi felt his blood surged when he saw the smashed north gate for the first time, but he could still hold it back. But after seeing that both granaries were burned, he felt dizzy and blood was blocking his throat. If the guards next to him had not supported him, he would have fainted on the ground.
After finally recovering, Tong Guozhi's eyes were full of murderous aura and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did anyone tell me what's going on?"
No one could answer him, they looked at each other.
"Waste, all waste!"
Tong Guozhi finally couldn't help but curse, and at this time he wanted to find a breath.
