Chapter 83

Jia Kui jumped out of the tree, stretched out his waist, and said, "I've been holding it in for a few days, it's time!"

Yang Wenguang held a telescope in his hand and observed Gangu City at the foot of the mountain again. He handed the telescope to Jia Kui: "The city gate below has been erected, but the people in the city have not left. It seems that they were arranged to guard the rear route here and will not go to Fuqiang Village. You take the troops from our headquarters down the mountain. According to what we had discussed before, quickly organize the troops at Gangukou and attack the northern city gate immediately without any pause! After breaking the city, if the thieves inside escape from the southern city gate, they do not need to chase them, just guard the city. If they don't leave, they will cover up and kill them. I will lead the central army and then arrive. After the thieves drove them away, they will stand up the northern city gate again. Although there are no large numbers of thieves in the north, they must be in case."

Jia Kui crossed his hands and was eager to try, holding a telescope to observe Gangu City in the valley.

When the sun rose high, Jia Kui bid farewell to Yang Wenguang and gathered people from the dense forest on the mountain.

The camp was prepared by the Song army for several months. The food, water, and even charcoal for cooking were already prepared, just to keep these nearly a thousand people hidden in the jungle on the mountain for a few days. They had already checked clearly where there were caves, paths, and hillsides that were easy to climb and down, and even had several practical drills. After the order of Jia Kui's army, his right army quickly emerged from the woods and gathered on the edge of the cliff.

Although the Song army looked like one here and one there, there were no rules, in fact, the places they stood were all planned. How many drills had Yu Zang Huama Army undergone before coming. There was no flat ground on the mountain, so it was impossible to arrange the array here and it was impossible to get together. The position where everyone was located was conducive to quickly and continuously using several gentle slopes to enter the Gan Valley below, and to arrange the battle formations in the shortest time.

Xu Ping has always believed that the more meticulous the preparations before the war, the fewer the difficulties faced during the war, and the greatest achievement can be achieved, minimizing his own casualties. In a simple sentence, sweat more in daily life and less bleeding during war.

In order not to disturb the foreign troops in the valley, this time, he did not blow the trumpet or beat the drums, which all depended on his usual tacit understanding and strict training.

Yang Wenguang looked at the hourglass in front of him, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and waved his arm heavily to Jia Kui on the edge of the cliff.

Jia Kui shouted in a deep voice: "Go down the mountain and go to fight!" After saying that, he jumped down the hillside first, used his hands and feet, and walked down the valley along the selected gentle slope. The Song army lined up on the edge of the cliff, and the front row were all small commanders. After receiving Jia Kui's military order, one by one, all of which were simple four words: "Go down the mountain and go to fight!"

Silently, the three hundred Song troops descended from the hillside to Gangu like monkeys.

Gangu does not flow straight into Sandu River, but after leaving the valley, it turns south and flows alongside Sandu River for a short distance before it flows into Gangu. Gangu City is built where the two rivers converge. If you don’t set up a sentry tower at the entrance of Gangu, you can’t see Gangu.

Jia Kui quickly organized his troops according to the pre-draft, and did not alarm the foreign troops in Gangu City.

Asked the general of the guards to leave the line, Jia Kui handed him the turquoise in his hand and said, "As we have decided before, you go and light the fuse we buried, and blow up the newly established city gate of the thieves! If you are done, you will be the first contribution in this battle!"

The general replied with his hands, took the turquoise, turned around and quickly walked out of the valley.

Seeing the general leaving, Jia Kui said in a deep voice to everyone in front of him: "When the explosion sounds, you listen to our military orders and leave the valley together!"

At this time, the British army had left the location of Gangu City and concentrated in the lower reaches of Sanduchuan. The people guarding the city here were bored. When the city gate was established, it was a complete city, but it was empty and there was nothing. The one who stayed here to guard the city was Wei Zhan of the Dangxiang Army. The foreign troops led by Yu Zang Huama only wanted to rush out of the valley to grab money and grain, but no one was willing to guard the rear. Wei Zhan was a traitor in the army. Without the supervision of the army, he was lazy and gathered together to chat in groups of three or five.

Suddenly, the person guarding the city tower shouted loudly: "For the wrongdoing, who is in front of you? Could it be the Song army?"

Several Dangxiang Army soldiers who were chatting down the city tower hugged the leader and ran up quickly, looked outside, and said, "Where did the Song army come from? We are now in the deep mountains and ridges, don't be surprised!"

The sentry pointed to a person who was walking in front of him without any hurry and slow down and said, "That's not? It seems that he is dressed in a Song Dynasty person!"

The leader glanced at him and laughed to the sky: "I really saw a ghost. The Song army was coming. How could it be that alone? This is within the territory of the Song State, not far from Qinzhou City, so there are naturally many Han people. What's the big fuss about it! I see that man is probably a lost hunter. Don't worry about him. When he arrives at the city, we send a few people and take them over! Look at the man's appearance, it's very strong. If he tied him back, he will be a good roe and can be sold at a good price!"

Everyone cheered together. Dangxiang invaded the Song Dynasty and received a very low reward for the first-level reward during the war, but the living people rewarded a lot. Because the dead were useless to Dangxiang's leaders, the living people could be slaves and could be sold for money.

The generals walked towards Gangu City without any haste, calm down and pay attention to the movements in Gangu City. If the thieves in the city are particularly alert, they will leave the city to welcome the city when they see someone coming, and they will make trouble. It is best if they don’t take it seriously and let them get close to them, then they will lit the fuse and leave, which is best for themselves.

It was nearly two hundred steps away from the city gate. The general of the army saw the big stone that was placed here in advance, and there was no movement in Gangu City in front, so he breathed a sigh of relief. When he arrived at the big stone, he took a few strokes at the marking place and dug out a piece of fuse. The general of the army saw that it was still dry and slowly lit it with the turf he brought.

The fuse burned quickly and soon it learned to burn to the ground.

The general of the army did not leave, stood calmly by the big stone, and slowly looked at the Gangu city gate in the direction of the fire rope.

"One", a small cloud of black smoke emerged in front of him, and the general counted it. "Two"

Several Dangxiang troops on the city tower saw strangely, and the leader said, "Was the guy who came to stand so far, did he see that the situation was wrong and recognized us as Dangxiang people? Here is so far away from us and has never copied them, why are you afraid?"

The person next to him said, "The Han people are naturally cowardly and timid. I think they are not alone in the quiet city. They feel scared and watch the movements there. We don't care about him. If we get lost, we will always come here!"

Another person said, "What if he doesn't come?"

"What's the problem? If he turns around and leaves, we will send a few fast horses to get the man back! Can two legs run through four legs? This man is already the flesh in our mouths after all, just look at him as a pastime!"

These Dangxiang people only looked at the generals outside the city, but did not pay attention to the front of the city gate. From time to time, a small stream of black smoke rose. This was the gunpowder buried under the city gate when Yang Wenguang and others retreated. When they arrived at the city gate, they would blow up the city gate of Dangxiangli.

Dangxiang Army on the city tower pointed at the Song army general, but did not know that one foot had stepped into the cunning.
